Quarrelfug.

If anything in the world will make
man feel badly, it is unquestiOnably
a quarrel. No man ever fails TO think
less of himself after than before. 1t
degrades him in his own eyes, and dis
graces him in the eyes of others, and
vi Shf ri j. oS S9r SnR u9 a the ssnsi5ihties
power of passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peace
fully and quietly we get on, the better
for our neighbOrs and for ourselves
In nine cases out Of ten, the better
course is, if a man cheats you, cease
to deal with him; if he Is abusive,
quit his company; and if he SANDERS
you, take care to live so that nobody
will believe him. No matter who he
is or how he misuses you, the wisest
way is TO let him alone, for there is
nothing better than this cool, calm
and quiet way Of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with. Lies unchased'
will die; fires Unframed will burn out,
and quarrels neglected become as dull
as the crater of an extinct volcano.

Letter from BnfOrd.
BUFORD, Sept. 4. 1877

BUFoRD, Sept, 4, 1876
Editor Herald:
Weather very pleasant, and bids
fair to remain so for a number of days.
Nothing new here since my last. But
we learn that Mr.. John Kigel, a very
prominent merchant of some ten years
standing, at MELVILLE, Davies county,
recently sold his entire stock OF dry
goods DC, to Messrs. Crow & Bro,
very recently from Calvert City, KY.
We of the yard stick will miss friend
John, but wish him success wherever
he may drift, and extend, at the same
time, the right hand of fellowship to
his successors.
Mr.. Charles Field, living near Bu-
ford, can beat all in large tobacco.
He has tobacco that measures 26 By
80 to the leaf, and says he has a field
that will average % by IS inches.
Can any of your patrons beat it! if so,
let us hear from them.
Mr.. William Paris says he can beat
the beaten in the sweet potato line.
Many of his potatoes will weigh a
pound.
The good people of Glennville, Nc
Lean county, will raise a Tilden and
Hendricks pole on Saturday, Bird Sep
TENDER.
Prof. Joseph Hardnfan will put in
his name for a couple of weeks at this
place very soon, for the purpose Of
showing you just how pretty you are.
We mean that Mr.. H. Is a number one
photographer, and would be pleased to
have you on his list. Come along,
gentlemen and be taken in a group.
Messrs. Webb, Rogers & Co. will
have a first-class barbecue at No Creek
bridge, on the Hartford and Owensborc
road, September 9th. A good time is
expected, of course. Come down, Mr..
Editor, aud enjoy life.

The DemaHdsorme Times.

The issues upon US are not war, but
peace issues. The practical Questions
all the time are:
LIST. Better men in Office.
I'd. Honest and intelligent admins
tratiOn.
Sd. The war is over.
4th. Official ROgues must be pun
ished.
9th. No military interference in
elections.
9th. Less taxes and more economy.
7th. The earliest practical resump-
ton of specie payments.
9Th. Government salaries and pay
to conform to salaries paid for cOmpe'
tent like services out of public life.
9th. Less federal Capitalization anC
more respect for the rights of the PEG
pie.
10th. Let common schools alone.
18th. No federal interference witt
religious, sects or organization.
18th. One term for the President
and six years service, if the Con
stitution is amended.
Thislis exactly what the Democrat
are fighting for, and their candidates
if elected, will insist upon these re
forms.-[New York Express.

Hits and Hints.

Some of the Washington officials
Chose receiving above 81 200 a year,,
are taxed 20 per cent. for party pur-
poses, and others 10 per cent. This is
where the great corruption fund is sup
piled, and is the natural source of the
corruption of which the people have so
much cause to complain. If the aver
age salary be $4,000, 10 per cent.
would yield 500, OOO, 900, and the Gov
eminent employees would be just as
well off with 10 per cent. reduction, il
not compelled TO contribute to this
corruption" fund, and the people
would have nearly $4,000, 900, OOO
less taxes to pay.-[FrOm the New
York Express of Aug. %, rs.

Power Of Bearing Heat.

1t is generally supposed that the hu-
man frame cannot endure great heat
and, if exposed to it, will soon sink in
to exhaustion. This is true in hot eli
mates, to which people have not BEEN
accustomed. But in this case the effect
may be due to influences from vegeta-
ton, or to some disturbances of nature
1t is certain that artificial heal, far
greater than the heat Of the sun is In
the TOrrid Zone, may be born without
special suffering or harm.
The British Journal of Science says
that men in iron establishments work
without inconvenience with the Their
mometer constantly at one hundred
and twenty degrees, and in pitts for
making the Bessemer steel at one hum
dred and forty degrees. In Turkish
baths the shampoOers are often bGsilY
engaged for four or five hours in sue
cession, with the temperature at one
hundred and ten degrees. In the Red
Sea Steamers the stOkehOle marks one
hundred and fOrty-6ve degrees and-in
enamel works the operators are COM
PEELED daily to endure a heat of three
hundred degrees. The ehstic pOwe-
of the body to accommodate itself 10
extremes is wonderful.

Facts for the People.
From the Albany Argus of Aug. 22.l

From the Albany Argus of Aug. 22l
The following truths which we cut
from the Detroit Free Press are worth
treasuring up?
The great bulk of the people of the
United States are dependent upon
their daily earnings for support, and
it is of the highest Importance to them
that the government demands upon
these earnings should be as light as
possible.
1t makes difference of So per head
to every man, woman and child in the
country whether the annual expendi-
lures of the nation are 5000, 900, 900
or 100000, 900.
1t makes a difference of seventy
five cents per head, or Sc for a family
of father, mother and six children,
whether the national expenditures are
s24O, 900, 900 or $27O, 100000.
The Republican party and the
Grant administration have in the past
seven years and half expended over
three hundred million dollars more for
the ordinary purposes of the govern
ment-exclusive of interest, premi-
ums and debt charges-than was nee
essarv for an efficient, honest and
economical administration.
Grantism and the Republican party
have taxed the people for the national
administration about eight dollars per
head more than was needed with hon
esty and economy.
Every family of five has been plum
dered of forty dollars to maintain and
perpetuate republican ring rule since
1869.
The people complain of hard times !;
but republican rogues have flourished
while the people were Overtaxed and
plundered, and hundreds of millions
have been recklessly misspent.
The Democratic House has stood by
the people. 1t has demanded anil in
sisted upon a reduction of exDendi-
tures. inIrLy million dollars have
been cut from the expenditures of last
year.
A Democratic administration will
follow up the reduction in expendi-
lures of this year by still further re-
duction and will take efficient meas
ures to lessen taxation.
A Republican administration, aided
by a Republican Congress, will main
tain lavish expenditures and drag mil.
lions unnecessarily from the people.
Economy is the order of the day.
The people must be economical to live.
To secure economy in the nation they
must elect a Democratic administers
ton.

A Parody.

You'd scarce expect one Of my age,
To smoke cigar and look SO sage;
Aud if I should a mustache wear,
Although the hair is rather spare,
Don't view me with a critics eye,
But pass nv little whiskers by.
Big aches from little toe-corns flow
Long beardsfrom downy faces grow;
Aud, though my beard lie short and young

Yet, ell the whiskers in the town
Once existed but in down.
But why may not H-sface

international Postage stamps
d. hI1AF AIhICks
To r. B. Hayes, Governor, &c.


Now that the demand for an inter-
national treaty has been acceded to,
and that for an international or univer-
sal coinage is seriously discussed, with
prospect of an easy solution of the
problem, it NAV be in place to suggest
the filling of another, though less i'm
portant, public want-that of an issue
ofpostage stamps and cards which shall
be current in all countries within the
recent postal treaty. 1t so frequently
happens that business, literary and
scientific men wish to write to another
country for some piece of information
requiring that stamp be enclosed for
postage, and so frequently happen that
they are debarred from obtaining the
information from the inability to make
the petty inclOsure, that this is worthy
of attention. A system ofexchange al
the post-ofices would prevent compli
cations arising from American postage:
being paid for in British stamps, or vice
versa. Authors desiring data, socie.
ties, investigating committees, etc.,
would be much less hampered than al
present, if these petty remittance:
could be made.

The thraldom in which the colored
people are now held by the Radical
party is but a type, and a worse one,
of that in which they were held in
1860. After all its boosted friend
ship for the race, in what manner does
it help it? In what instances do they
recognize him as a man and brother,
except about election time, when his
vote is needful? The words and the
acts of the Radical party are two dis

A YOUNG man was frequently eau
toned by his father to vote for ''meas-
ures, not men," He promised to dose,
and soon after received a bonus to vote
for Mr.. Peck. His father, astOnished
at his voting for man whom he deem
ed Objectionable, inquired the reason
for his doing so. "Surely, father" said
the son, "yOu told me to vote for meas
ures, and if Peck is not a measure, l
don't know what is"

Mr.. Frye declares that God struck
down Mr.. Blaine. As Mr.. Frye
seems to know all about it, We may be
permitted to ask Mr.. Frye why God
struck down Mr.. Blaine. Saul of Tar
sus was struck down because he oppos-
ed Gods chosen people, and Ananias
was laid out because of lying, and now
we want to know why Mr.. Blaine was
hurt. There must have been some
reason for the blow, and the people In
Maine are supposed to know more
about the purposes of the Almighty
than anybody else.
