NORTH CAROLINA on Thursday voted on
several constitutional amendments and
though the returns are very meagre aud the
vote light, there is enough to indicate that all
the provisions were adopted. All of the
amendments submitted except one are of no
general Importance. One, however, propo-
ses to strike out Of the present constitution
the provisi IN that the State debt, regularly
contracted before and since the rebellion, shall
be regarded as inviolable and never be ques-
toned; and to strike out the section which
provides that after the year 1890 the General
Assembly shall provide for the levying of a
specific tax upon real and personal property
for the payment of the principal upon the
State debt. This amendment will so change
the Constitution, that it will not make 1t COM
pulsory on the Legislature to pay the inter-
est and principal on the State debt; but the
clause which provides that ''the State shall
never assume or pay any debt or obligation
incurred in aid of the rebellion, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation of any ''slave',
will remain.
This amendment has very harmless ap-
pearance at first reading, but some of the
Democratic papers declare that the purpose
oftne amendment is to give the Legislature
power TO repudiate the interest on the State
debt which 1t is claimed, with the running ex-
penses of the government will impose a tax
OF three dollars on one hundred dollars of
property, In brief it is a reputation amend
ment.
THE Liquor Dealers Gozette is the name
Of a new paper published in Troy, N. Y, the
first number Of which, has been sent to us.
1t Is the official organ of the liquor dealers of
the United States, and the editor says he is to
speak for class of men engaged in a bust
ness which Is closely connected with the
moral, social, political an financial welfare of
the country, namely, the manufacture and
traffic in intoxicating liquors. The editor
says in his salutatory that che shall advocate
that which he believes to be right in the fear
of God and with good will towards his fellow
men," He then proceeds to inform the pub
lie how good man the liquor dealer is. We
have thought that Rev. Mr.. Groeber the
Lutheran clergyman of Meriden, Conn.,, was
alone in this great moral work of advocating
the cause of nine-tenths of the misery of the
civilized world, but he can congratulate him.
self that as first-class idiot he is not alone.

the Gazette will not place us on its exchange

raeru,ure summer Resort.

Years hence the fashionable summer
trip will be, not to Niagara, the White
Mountains, nor even to the Yosemite
valley, but to tie Yellowstone National
Park. st a;el near the headwaters
Of the ellowstone river, in the Terfito-,
ry of Montana and Wyoming, and COM
prising nearly twenty-five hundred square
miles, this tract of land contains the most
wonderful and unique curiosities in the
world. The park is. accessible only from
Montana, the Wyoming side being bound
ed, by rugged mountain range, whose
p.ecipitous peaks, crowned with glitter
ing snow, rise often to the height Of four
or five THOUSAND feet. The region Of ths'
hot springs and geysers rep:ents a most
grand and novel scene. Through
the misty, st:sming atmosphere hun:
'dreds of geyscrs project water with
terrific force to various heights-some
twenty feet, some two or three hundred
feet. The grand canon Of the Yellow
stone, from one to three thousand feet
in depth and forty miles in length. is
doubtless the most wonderful chasm in
the world, The Yellowstone lake, lying
nearly eight thousand feet above the level
of the ocean, embcsomed amidst noun
tains, surrounded by hot spring, and
dotted with verdant islands, the great
cataracts, the immense forests, and numer-
Gus other natural features combine to make
the scenery of this park surprisingly
grand and romantic. When convenient
roads arc laid out the travelling community
will examine for themselves.

Eooiscap Paper.

The term "foolscap," to designate
a certain size paper, no doubt has
puzzled many all anxious inquirer.
1t appears that Charles 1. of England
granted numerous monopolies for the
support of the Government, among
others the manufacture of paper.
The watcr-mark Of the finest sort was
the royal arms OF England. The con-
sumption of this article was great.
and large fortunes were made by
those who purchased the exclusive
right to vend it. This, among other
monopolies, was set aside by the.par-
Lament that brought Charles l. to
the scafrold and, by way of show
ling contempt for the King, they Or
dered the royal arms to be. taken
from the paper, and a fool with his
cap and bells to be substituted. II is
now over two hundred years since
the FOOLS cap was taken from
the paper, but still the paper OF the
size which the Rump Parliament or
dercd for th2f. journals bears tho
name CT the water-mark placed there
as an indignity to King Charles.

that the Herald alone, of all the

give the latter paper its reputation
for enterprise. No matter what OF

pose publishing card, wherein

opinion that he did gross injustice
not only to Mr.. Liucoln. but to thu

sciS,tiiic knowledge with regard to
the history Of matter, from its nebu-
lous to its stellar, and, finally, its
planetary condition. On the proba-
BILE future of the earth, the first two
phases throw no light, but the last
docs. There is no moon, as every
one knows, no present evidence Of
the existence of atmosphere. or of
water but "their former existence
is fair and direct deduction from
the doctrine of the common origin
of the earth and moon." But if they
once existed, how shall we explain
their disappearance? They have
been absorbed by the rocks. In an
age long gone by, the moon was in
the same physical condition as the
earth. The water on its surface, or
that which descended in periodic
streams, rs it pcrcolated the porous
rocks and thin crust of the moon,
soon reached temperature which
dissipatcd it in yapor, and returned
1t to tho surface to be rccondenscd.
But the moon having only one-forty-
ninth the bulk of the earth, cooled
forty-nine times as rapidly as the
earth, and at length q temperature

face took it in faster than it could bt
