THE SWISS WoMEH.-There is sad enough
need of the elevation of women even in
Switzerland One hundred women climb
each day to the splendid buildings which over
look the splendid city of Zurich, the first
fountain of learning in the Republic 1000
women toll from sunrise till late evening in
the narrow lanes below, dragging heavy
hand carts, staggering under the large bur-
dens balanced upon their heads saving wood
or gathering the refuse from the streets with
basket and shovel, i'll short, performing the
most mental service that the lowest class of
male laborers are condemned to do in Ameri-
CA. l have often seen two slender women
saving oak and ash wood in the street while
"A stout fellow stood by leisurely splitting the
sawn sticks One poor old creature, the other

reversed between her knees, and, in utter
weakness, was rubbing the stick Of wood up.

THIS WILL DO.

If any body has seen a black-and-tau dog
answering to the name of . Pedro rowing
about in Eastern North Carolina in company
with a hard-shell turtle, that won't answer to-
anything, and certainly won't answer to
tackle, as the dog can tell you If You can get
him to stop long enough, please halt the elop-
ing pair, as they are the property of the
editor OF this paper. We arc fondly attached
to the dog on account of his vagabondisIa
Bohemian habits. Hc knows cyery1 dog in
Craven county by name, and is on speaking
terms with nine-tenths Of the granger dogs
that come in under the wagons and in market
boats, and he knows more of the inhabitants
of this city than the tax collectors do. The
turtle sent up by DIR. Barker, from his planta-
ton in Carteret- county, is a more recent ac-
QUESTION. 1t was placed in the back yard,
and the dog spent an hour and half trying
to entice it to come out of its shell and be
sociable. The old iron-cad maintained his
reserve, however, until the dog crammed his
nose against the forward part and began to
snuff. The pair seemed to come to some sort
of understanding a. once, for the dog made
an impctuous remark on a very high key, and
they both started on n trip. When the dog
jumped over Dick Berry's cock-house we
thought he had struck the Eastern current
and would get right through, but VIC learn
since that he changed his course and landed
in Hyde county, and was seen sauntering
along like whirlwind, the turtle staying by
him. We should be very sorry TO lose that
dog now, as he has acquired u very important
and manly quality. He knows more about
turtles than any other dog in Newbcrne, and
it's mighty hard to find real good turtle
dog.

WHEAT AND PHYSICAL VI6oR.-Nothing is
more sure in the chemistry of life than that
the great bread-eaters are the great thinkers,
or that the phosphorus which wheat contains
in the outer kernel, Immediately beneath the
husk, is the feeder of brains, and the materi-
al substance which provokes to thought, study,
reason, and all forms of nervous energy.
There are psychologists who attribute the
remarkable success of States like Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois to the bounty and perfection
Of the wheat crop, and the intellectual stimu.

Certainly no commonwealth in the world has
evinced higher sense of law and order, OF

suits in our civilization.
There is a southern wheat belt, which IN

GEORGE WAsHISGToN.-Onc day, in fit
of abstraction the juvenile George cut down
Bushrod's favorite cherry-tree with Ratchet.
His purpose was to cut--and run.
But the old gentleman came sailing round
the corner of the barn just as the future Faith
er of his Country had started on the retreat.
Look here sonny" Numbered the stern
old Virginian, .'wlo cut that tree DOWN."
George reflected moment. There wasn't
another boy or another hatchet within fifteen
miles. Besides, it occurred to him that to be
virtuous is to be happy. just as Washington
senior turned to go and get his horsewhip our
little hero burst into tears, and Nesting among
his fathers coat-tails, exclaimed, g Father

DANIEL WEBSTER. The following anec-
dote of the great Massachusetts statesman has
never before appeared in print:
One day, Clay, Webster, and Calhoun met
upon the steps of the Capitol. Mr. Clay ven
tured to remark, in his most affable style,
that it looked like rain Calhoun looked wise,
but said nothing. Evidently he took in the
whole situation at glance. 1t was a crisis
for Webster. Carefully laying his thumb be-
hind the brass button of his blue coat, he
gazed from one of those cavernous eyes and
grandly uttered these prophetic words s'No,
gentlemen, the American people will never
forsake the Constitution. We shall have fair
weather."

In the writings of DR.. Chalmers is TO DO
found very amusing account Of the way a
young preacher failed to be invited to the pas
toratc of church. He visited the church,
and preached as candidate. His discourse
had been deliberately prepared, and his theme
was, 1.-THE immatcriality Of the Soul lie
proved, as he thought, most conclusiyely that
the soul is not composed of matter, but is 2
spiritual, immaterial substance. Tho sermon
was fatal to the prospects of the young man.
The church insisted that to say the soul Is I'M
material is tantamount to saying that It is i'm
material whether people have souls or nots
and they thought it very important to have
souls. The church did not want pastor who
believed the soul immaterial.

GrrrrSG READY TO BE HAPPY.-That is
exactly what most of us are doing. We are
not ready to be happy to-day, this week. this
year tomorrow, next month, another year,
our cup of joy will be full. When the pro-
missed time comes, and the acme of our hopes
In certain direction is reached, health may
be wanting, friends dead, and life, however
full of all we thought would make it rich and
worth the having, be empty and dreary. But
he who sstakes the best now and here en-
joys it, puts himself into possession OF that
which cannot be taken away. Certainly it is
right to provide for the rainy day--in health
to prepare for sickness--in youth to lay mp
for old age; but there is much more time
than many of us think while doing this to be
happy in the present, and there are a thous-
and paths to happiness if we but have the
skill and the desire to find them.
We are too eager in the pursuit of some
far-off result to take time to be happy to-day
How often do we look back on years that have
fled, and see many elements of truest enjoy
ment. which at the time we took no notice OF,
and, which, could we count them In now
would fill our cup of joy to oyerfiowing Shall
we learn lesson from this?

POETRY
EARTu,s ANGELs.

Inever saw any angels
Except the ones in books;
don't believe a mortal
Knows how an angel looks.
We guess at something misty,
With trailing wings of white,
With amber tresses floating,
And garments strangely bright.
But / believe earth's angels
Walk here in mortal guise,
Though we discern but family
Through heavy-lidlcd eyes,
Or see them as they leave us
Who walked beside us here,
Their angelhood quite hidden
Because it lived so near.
/ can remember angels
Who seemed like common folks,
Who wore old-fashioned bonnets
And faded winter cloaks;
Who came when dire disaster
Crowned lesser home mishap,
Or younger claimants crowded
The dear maternal lap;
With curving arms wide open
To take the weary in;
With patient love to listen
To childish want or sin.
What better things could angels
For childish sinners do
Than listen to their stories
And bid them promise new?
/ think Of firesidc angels,
Upon whose faded hair
There shone no crown of glory,
And yet the crown was there;
When tender love, true-hearted,
Forgave the wrongs 1t knew,
And patient voice gave answer
The days of trial through.
All me the childish angel
Who beckons as | write
Perehance should not know him
In robes of mystic white.
He wears school-boy Jacket
And cap and boots, to me,
AS when he walked at twilight,
His head against my knee.
There are dear mother-angcls-
We each perchance know one
Whose robes of better glory
Are daily being spun;
With loving hands 10 guide MS,
With loving speech to cheer;
Said not WE'LL earth-angels
Walk daily with us here?

A Very Valuable Work.

- History Of the CrGnge Increment; or me
farmers Wcr Igdinst MonOp0ties." Be
ing fun and authentic account Of the
struggles of The American Farmers against
tie ertortsons of tie Railroad Companies.
With Histc y of the Rise and Progress
of the Order of Patrons of Husbdudry.
Published by the National Publishing Co.,
cJ Chicago and 81. Louis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is un-
questionably the War which the Farm
ers ere waging against the Monopolies
of all kinds that have for so long been
robbing the people and expressing the
toiling portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists, and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
its growth, actual condition and pros
poets. It then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, who seek gain at the ex-
pense of the community; and we are
given a terrible and thrilling account of
the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The apthor
yields fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which This selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our Congress, State Legislatures
and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Ionopolists and
their outrages, the author takes up the
cause of the wronged and oppressed
farmers, and gives us detailed state
ment of the evils from which the farm
ing class is suffering. He analyses
skillfully the causes of these evils, and
shows how and by whom the farmers
are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete
account of the organization and objects
of the order is given its laws and mode
of procedure are stated and each feat
IRE is explained at length.
It is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume of the day, and, as it
comes at a time when the whole coun-
try is suffering intensely from the eff
fects of the evils it denounces, cannot
fail to have tremendous sale. 1t is an
ably written work, and bold and yig-
orous plea in behalf of the farmers and
all who are oppressed and robbed by
the grasping Monopolies which are
causing so much trouble.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents In
every county. See advertisement In

Fred Grant on the War Path.
Washington Dispatch.

DOM Piatt, of the Capital, publishes
a card to-day warning the people not
call at his private residence to demand
explanation for articles In his paper. 1t
seems that the occasion of this was the
appearance of Fred Grant, son of the
President, at Piatt's house, to demand
satisfaction for an article which appeared
a week ago, rejecting on Mrs. Grants
holiday reception so soon after her
fathers death. Piatt, however, was not
at home and did not, therefore, give the
informed the police, who guarded his
house for day or two. In the mean
time young Grant became quieted. The
affair was magnifed by rumor into a
yerv considerable scandal.

Az INCIDENT OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY.-A poor man in Scranton, Pa,
lost child by smallpox. During the
sickness he was obliged to beg bread,
but so fearful were the people of COM
ing in contact with him, that the morsel
that be did receive was barely sufficient
10 keep his family from starvation.
When his child died he applied to the
authorities for coffin, but could not
obtain one. Councilmen sent him to
the poor-directors, and the poor-direct-
ors referred him to the councilmen, so
that between the official benevolenee of
public men, the man returned home and
made out of rough boards box in
which he placed his dead child. He
was then obliged to carry the rude
coffin to grave which he dug with his
own hands.
