If the people of Edgeeombe had
been true to themselves and to their
political principles, and had con-
stantly refused to sign the bonds of
Radical officers, scalawagism, car,
pet~bagism, negro supremacy and
the whole spawn of Radicalism
would have been crushed out and
the offices of honor and trust would
have been filled by the good and
true men of the county. If even
now we adhere strictly to our prin~
ciples, we will soon carry our point

However much you may like a
man personally you have no right
to put him in office if he entertains

not the man we endorse, but his
politics, when We vote for him or

Economy In Horse Feed.

The London Omnibus Company having
six thousand horses TO feed. made some
experiments. the result of which is record
ed as follows:
To each of the three thousand Of their
horses they gave daily allowance Of
ground oats sixteen pounds. ground hay
seven and one-half pounds. and cut straw
one and one-eighth pounds-the hay and
straw being cut into pieces about half an
inch long. and well mixed up with oats in
a little water. aud so making twcnty-six
pounds Of food for each horse. And to
each Of the other three thousand horses
they gave daily allowance of whole or
unbruised oats nineteen pounds, and I'M
cut or whole hay or straw thirteen pounds.
without any water. in our old-fashioncd
way. making thirty-two pounds OF tins
food for each horse. And what was the
rcsults Why il was soon discovered that
the horse which was Ted on the twcnty-six
pounds Of ground oats remained IN rs
good condition and could perform Just
rs much work and do IL just a.
well. too, as the horse did who con-
sunied thirty-two pounds Of food ~ aior.-
said thus showing n saving Of Slx pounds
OF food per day in favor Of bruised oats
and cut hay.

has been most eventful one. He Is .
native OF Limerick. and enigratsd in
1851. He got employment in n ship-
brokers' officc. and succeeded In rob
bing his employers, Brueksit 4 Zsnkitt
OF 81, 200. He was ultimately arrested
aud underwent two years imprison-
ment. lie aitsrwsrd joined the South
srn army, and attained tho rank OF
Colonel. After the termination Of the
struggle in America he took up his
abode in California. where he succeeded
in marrying wealthy planters daugh-
ter. He speedily squandsred her for
tune and deserted her, proceeding to
New York, and from thence TO Toronto,
where he seams TO have got into busi-
ness. and again swiadled firm (wil-
kins X Hammsrton) Of $4,000. He
then succeeded in reaching London.
when he was found guilty OF forgery un-
der mitigating circumstances, and was
sentenced to ~ months imprisonment.
On his release. about six months ago,
he again got into business, representing
a large concern in Dnblin. which he
swindled out Of ei.O0O under circum-
stance which will shortly be detailed at
his prosecution. He then made his es-
cape to Liverpool, where he has lived
with impunity tor the past two mouths.
He, however. seems TO have heard that
the Scotland Yard force were on his
track. because he had the audacity TO
return TO London. and there he seems
to have escaped detection until he started
for Milford. en route for Waterford. His
absence from London seems 10 have
been felt. and the telegraph was set in
motion: for when the train reached Car
rick-on-Suir he was politely requested
TO step out. which he did without any
resistance. The result was tslegraphed

Married Flirts.

It is to be regretted that while society
commands and business compels that
rudeness be banished and harshness and
querulousness be repressed, yet in the
comparative retirement of home, greater
freedom is allowed;z and there some
"Lords of Creation" disI lay their tyranny
while the amiable bellies Of society twho,
when bent on conquests, never forget that
"a low, soft voice is an excellent thing
in woman" yet here, on the slightest
provocation, speak in tone sufficient to
arouse the seven sleepers, while their
juniors are allowed the largest license;
and, in short, when we sally out in our
worst habiliments and feel in our surliest
mood. -.
Does the charming Lillian Matilda ever
remember, the honeymoon having passed
as she languidly takes her place at the
breakfast table, with her hair in curl pa
pers, crumpled collar, and mornings robe
looking as though washing was included
among the lost. arts, the time when hys-
terics would have ensued should her in
tended have CHANGED to find her in such
dishabille?
Does she imagine, as, with petty gos-
sip, continuous murmuring, or angry
words about trifles, she taxes her 'hus-
bands patience, that human affection can
Withstand all shocks, or love and respect
never be destroyed? 1t certainly never
nccurs to her, as, with loftiest disdain,
she addresses her servants, pays no atten-
tion to their wants or SORROWS, and looks
upon them merely as beings permitted to
live merely to serve her, that "Of one
blood God created all the nations of the
earth,' and that "all we are brethren."-
For does Adolphus Charles remember the
rules laid down in counting days, as "com-
pany being absent" he leisureIy smokes
his cigar in the cosy parlors and labors
under the delusion that carpets were wo-
ven for spittoons.
It is manifestly unknown to him that
mantelpieees were not intended tor foot
stools, neither were boot jacks originally
designed for parlor ornaments.
He is disposed to forget that loud yawn
ing is not considered essential to good
breeding; and that magnanimously to sur
render your favorite newspaper:or maya
zine to some relative is cardinal virtue.
And it must be confessed that when un-
kindly declaring that his wife's new bon
net is "a perfect fright" and her taste in

coffee denominated "nauseating," and

though she may really improved in dress
and household management since the
time when all she wore was declared
