a complete vindication of his action

Talk UP YouR TOWN..

1t up. If it has good schools, good
churches, newspapers, clear streets

anything and everything is not up
to your ideas--especially if you do
nothing to help make the place
Don't tell strangers it il the worst
place you know Of to bring up a
child, unless you know that it is
worse than other places Of the same
population. Give encouragement
to every useful and creditable enter
prise in your midst, for as effect fol-
lows cause so sure will enterprises of
merit repay every citizen. We
cannot live unto ourselves, and we
cannot discourage any movement in
behalf Of place without inhicting
upon ourselves personal injury
If you see a needed Improvement
demand it, and talk up vigorously
until the whole community is i'm
pregnated with the idea-until a
storm of public sentiment completes
the work but if you cant get any
thing that is needed, remember
that it is just like thousands of other
places in the land. Keep talking,

TRUE ENOUGH.

The following sentence from the
Milledgeville Union is symptomatic
of the growing popular enmity to-
wards "rings" and the conventions
manipulated by them -
"If the people every where would
take in hand the organization OF pub
lie meetings and upset the "ring"
programmes, we could then regard
the action of 'such gatherings as the
voice of the people;' but 50 long as
every thing is manipulated by three
OF four active wire-pullers, no one
has any respect for the action OF such
meetings"
The trouble is, the people do not
take enough interest in these con-
ventions, and it is doubtful if they
could obviate ring influence it they
took ever SO much. The old rule,
that the majority should govern pre-
walls in all these assemblages and
ring will always manage that ma
jority. Let us BIO content then !
there is seeming fairness and no un
due attempt to secure the majority
If there should be in our county,
Congressional, or other conventions,
this year, we warn all aspirants that
an extensive bolt will be the order
Of the day.

CIVIL RIGHTS.
How they Discuss it in North Carolina.

How they Discuss it in North Carolina.
A discussion between the rival
candidates for Congress in the Will
mington District took place at Bea-
mans Cross Roads, about ten miles
from Clinton, Sampson county, North
Carolina, on Thursday last, at the
close of which difficulty occurred
between a white man and colored
man in regard to the question Of civil
rights. Other colored men interfer-
red, when regular pitched battle
ensued, in which the most of those
on the ground, both white and color
ed, participated. According to the
Wilmington Star, the whites, both
Republicans and Conservatives, ar
rayed themselves on one side, and
the .colored people on the other, and
the way the missiles were projected
through the air was a caution. One
prominent white Radical, as he COM
menced selling fence rails, OK yokes
and other such implements Of warfare
and whirling them into the crowd OF
coIored belligerents, shouted at the
top of his voice, "Civil rights, Is it
III give you civil rights !"
"The colored troops fought nobly,"
but their white allies having turned
against them, they were finally effec-
tuaIly fepulSed, after having been
four times driven from the field
No fire arms were used and none o.
the belligerents were seriously hurt
though several we're knocked dowr
and considerably bruised. Consider
ing that the widest excitement pre-
vailed during the progress OF TIM
melee it is wonderful that no serious
disaster occurred,

HAIR Characterization "A wri-
ter gsys: "Coarse black hair and
dark skin signify great power OF
character, with tendency to sensu>
atty. Fine black hair and dark
skin indicates strength of character,
along with purity and goodness. -
Stiff, strait black hair and beard in.
dictate coarse, strong, rigid, straight
forward character. Flat, clinging,
straight hair is melancholy but ex>
tremeIy constant character. Harsh,
upright hair is the sign of a reticent
and sour spirit. Coarse red hair in
dicates powerful animal passions,
with a corresponding strength OF
character. Auburn hair, with a
ford countenance, denotes the high
est order of sentiment and intensity
of feeling-purity, with high capaci'
| ty for enjoyment or suffering
Straight, even, smooth and glossy,
hair denotes strength, harmony, and
evenness of character; hearty affec'
lions, a clear head and superior tai
ents. Fine, silky, supple hair is the
mark OF delicate and sensitive tenn
permanent, and speaks in favor of the
mind and character of the owner
Crisp, curly hair indicates a hasty,
somewhat impetuous and rash char
acter. White hair denotes lynn
phatic and incident constitution"

PASSING AWAY.

One after another the "Kings
of the Turf" are led limping from
the track, never to return. The
mighty exertions to which they are
put to compass a mile in a minute
and few seconds over, destroys the
tensions Of the muscles and breaks
the ligament when Its elasticity has
left it. Harry Bassett, Longfeltow,
and half dozen other noted racers
have within the last two years re-
tired with swollen pasterns, and their
names are no longer seen in the zen
tries" On Friday the favorite of
the season, "Tom Bowling" broke
down at Monmouth Park, and was
sent to his stable with a swollen fore
leg. We believe that this is the
fourth valuable horse that has been
disabled at Monmouth Park during
the present meeting.
1t is fortunate, perhaps, that the
natural law affecting such cases is
general and operates not only upon
race, and ordinary stage horses, but
upon political stagers, who, one after
another are constantly dropping into
oblivion.

f-Es IT is better to pass a dozen

Intentional neglect or rehection.--

more unkindly feelings and bitter

friendships have beeu sundered by
that egotistical constituencies which
is ever looking for offense. We can
all point to certain persons who are
thus morbidly sensitive, to a painful
degree. They are disagreeable com
panions. We need not spend OUT
precious time in pointing to them
however. We have each something
to guard in our own character. We
are each inclined to take offsnse toe

NO MoNEY, MO LOVE.


No work, no play no cross, no
crown, and dozen other oracular
utterances, have modern successor,
equally true, in "no money, no love-"
Not that a certain amount OF bank
stock or Government bonds really
makes a man or woman more love-
able; but unless the bonds or the
stocks, or their equivalent, are in
the honest reach of one party or the
other to every matrimonial engage
ment, it might as well be given up
in despair.
A great deal Of romance has been
written about love in a cottage, and
it is a very possible and pleasant
thing. But it does not lose sight of
the fact that the hard-hearted owners
Of cottages require yearly rent for
them. Small butchers joints must
be paid for; -four is as much per
barrel for lovers as for any one else.
Dealers in dry goods have no sym
patty with loves young dream, and
no warmth of passion will do away
in midwinter with the necessity for
coal. Grant that John is earning
enough to-day, what security is there
that he will not be under the doctors
care tomorrow 1t is an unsafe
thing, hazardous to themselves as
we'll as to society, when two young
human turtle doves agree to mate,
with no provision in advance of the
nest. True, such marriages come
out well, often enough but there is
always the chance that they might
have come out very i'll indeed, and
it is game of hazard at which the
truly sensible will not care to play.

home. The neighbors becoming

and went in search of her, Several
miles distant from her residence they

head was severed from the body
