WEDDINGS IN BoKNEo.-On the we'd
ding day. the bride and bridegroom are
brought from opposite ends OF the vii
lage to the spot where the ceremony Is
to be performed. They are made to SIT
on two bars of iron, that blessings as
lasting, and health as vigorous may at
tend the pair. A cigar and betal leaf,
prepared with the areca nut, are next
put into the hands Of the bride and
bridegroom. One of the priests then
waves two fowls over the heads of the
couple, and, in u long address to the
Supreme Being, calls down blessings
upon the pair, and implores that peace
and happiness may attend the union.
After the heads Of the aflianced have
been knocked against each other three
or four times, the bridegroom puts the
prepared siri leaf and cigar into the
mouth of the bride, while she does the
same to him, whom she thus acknowl-
edges as her husband.

The tingkawanS tree, from Borneo,
is shown in the Netherlands section Of
the Centennial. The substance known
AS vegetable tallow is obtained from the
fruit of this tree. The tallow, carefully
prepared, is used by the natives for
cooking purposes. A common article
prepared with less care, is used for lamp
oil, for lubricating machinery, and
other purposes where fats are required
The roots of the tree are successfully
applied in healing wounds, and the
wood is very good timber.

AN OPTICAL DELUsIoN.-Here is a
neat delusion. Roll sheet Of writing
paper into tube ten inches in diane
ter, and hold it to the right eye, looking
through at any convenient object, keep
ing the left eye also open. Place the
left hand, open. with the palm upward,
against the tube. an inch or two from
the further end. The surprising effect
apparently seen will be hole through
the hand, the size of cross section of
the tube. Now. in place of the hand,
put sheet Of white paper, with a hole
in it Of quarter of an inch in dame
ter. Stare intently into the tube, and
you will see the hole in the sheet of pa
per floating in the hole of the tube,
clearly defined by the difference of il
Elimination Each eye obviously trans
mits a different impression to the brain,
and that organ, unable to disentangle
them, lands us on the palpable absurd
ity of materialized hole.

MANNERs.-Manners are more import
ant than money. A boy who is polite
ard pleasant in his manners will always
have friends, and will not often make
enemies. Good behavior is essential to
prosperity. A boy feels well when he
does we'll. If you want to make every
body pleasant about you. and gain
friends wherever you 60, cultivate good
manners. Many boys have pleasant
manners for company and ugly manners
for home. We visited a small railroad
town, not long since, and were met at
the depot by little boy of about eleven
or twelve years, who conducted us to
the house Of his mother, and entertained
and cared for us in the absence of his
father, with as much polite attention
and thoughtful care Us the most cult
waited gentleman could have done. We
said to the mother, before we left her
home: "You are greatly blessed IN
your son, he is SO attentive and oblig-
ing" "Yes," she said, Il can always
depend on Charley when his father is
absent. He is great help and comfort
to me-" She said this as if it did her
heart good to acknowledge the clever
ness of her son. The best manners cost
so little and are worth so much that every
boy can have them.-Chrisfian Atiro-
cate.

A few fossils met in conference in
one of the large parlors of the Fifth
Avenue Hote! in New York on Mon
day. If they are to be believed they
are the purest of all pure disinter
ested patriots in all the land and seek
only their country's good. Mr.
Schurtz at one time a citizen of Mis-
souri, but of late a resident of New
York, one of the everlasting Adamses
of Massachusetts, President Woolsey
of Yale College and DR.. Bacon of Con
necticut, who if we mistake not has
figured in the Beecher matter in some
way, Cyrus W. Field, a few preachers
and professors and some others from
New York, ROBERT W. LAssITER OF
NORTH CAROLINA and some forty or
fifty others hailing from more distant
States were present. Eighteen States in
all were represented There was not
very much done and what was done
was not of much Importance. This is
not a good year for new departures in
politics. New parties will not thrive
in these centennial times. North Car
olina's sole representative does not
seem to have been either loud or act
i've but he got his name into the papers
and that is more than his frien Brog-
den did at the Centennial. And just
here We would like to enquire what has
become of the balance OF the North

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The following words of wisdom
addressed to the Democratic Party by
the Baltimore Gazette ought to com
mend themselves o the careful con.
sideration of all thinking men in our
ranks. 1t says:
Let the campaign be an aggressive
one. Let there be no intre nching.
Let there be no defensive attitude.
Let the words retrenchment and re-
form be the party shibboleth, and let
retrencLment and reform be under
stood to be thorough and alI-reaching
in their action. The field is open for
an onward march to triumph for the
democracy, If they are led by wise and
courageous gener is. But we repeat,
let the war agrinst the central despot-
ism at Washington be sharp, fearless
and aggressive, yet, at the same time,
conciIatory to those still lingering OIL
the outskirts who are ready to join
the ranks of the democracy if st. Louis
gives them a chance. The race is not
always to the swift, nor the battle to
the strong. Whether the democracy
win or lose in the approaching contest
rests solely with themselves. They
can make or mar their own fortune.
This IS a fearful responsibility, but
the leaders might just as we'll look the
fact squarely i'll the face and act &C
cordingly.

EX.GOVERNOK REID.

In reply to the question of our es-
teemed correspondent New Hanover
printed in another column in this
mornings JOURNAL, we beg leave to
state that Ex-Governor Reid does
"possess the physical strength to
stand the wear and tear of the arduous
campaign before u.s." Governor Reid
completed his sixty-tbird year on the
10Th day of last month, and is a
strong, sound, hearty man, and it is
said, Can shake hands with and talk
with as many if not lore men in a
day than any one who ever canvassed
this State.
Governor Reid has been before the
people of North Carolina for a long
of years, but then, he began
early in life. He knows them and thew
know him. The same may be said of
Governor Vance.

The New York Herald publishes
an interview with the Hon. Thurlow
Weed, in which he says he attended
the Fifth Avenue Hotel conference.
He was satisfied with the address, but
not with Adams speech, and therefore
retired. He opposes Tilden's nomina-
ton.
Grants nomination, he says, is i'm
possible, and should Conkling, Morton
and Cameron attempt to transfer their

COVE xNOR VANCE.

The following important announce
ment, we take it, is m ,de by authority
of Governor Vance himself, as it ap
pears in the Charlotte Observer, pa
per published in the town in which
Governor Vance resides.
The Observer says:
Every much interest is beginning to
be felt throughout the State as to the
probable course of this gentleman in
the coming campaign. From iLfor-
nation which we have received from
authentic sources, we are authorized
to say that Gov. Vance will not allow
his name to be run in opposition to
MIR. Ashe the present incumbent, as 8
candidate for Congressional honors in
this District. Should Mr.. Ashe with
draw and leave the field open he
would accept the nomination of the
Conservative party of this district as
their candidate for Congress-, but as
Mr.. Ashe has already announced HIM
self, Gov. Vance must be regarded as
out of the field. If the nomination
for Governor be rendered by the Con-
sentative convention which meets in
Raleigh on the 14th of June, Gov.
Vance will accept the position and it's
responsibilities, and make such can
vass of the State as has never been
made before.
Knowing him as we do, we believe
there is no man in the State who can
get larger vote than Vance, and as
he has never been beaten after long
and successful political career. we have
no hesitation in saying chat his nomi-
nation will be most opportune.
