GEN. JOE JOHNSTON.
How He Thanked the Ambitious Politi-
clans in the Richmond Congressional
District---A Illustrative Story.
Elizabeth City IN. c. Economist.

Elizabeth City IN. c. Economist.
Old Joe Johnston seems to be an ele-
plant on the hands of our Richmond
IVA. cousins in the political camp. It
seems that the aspirants for congress in
the Richm ond district sought to get rid
of each other by laying their claims at
the feet of the old battle-scarred war
rior, supposing that he, having no polit-
ical ambition, would decline the offer.
He bit, and he holds on. And now the
trouble is how to get rid of him. He is
besieged by anonymous communica-
tons through the press soliciting his
withdrawal. He needs them not.
How this case of cold Joe" brings
back to us the memory of a friend long
gone. Some Of the older members Of
the legal profession, Gillian or Martin,
perhaps, remember Malachi Haughton,
of Edenton. A good lawyer, a good
man, of great simplicity OF character,
never in public life, but, as only few
of his friends knew, with latent but
ardent desire to be heard in the public
councils. When the convention of
1885 was ordered, it was suggested to
Mr. Haughton that it would be a good
occasion to present himself in public
life. He thought SO too. He laid his
plans, and, after consultation, he con-
Guided he would get before the public
by selecting some man of influence that
he felt sure would have no aspirations
himself, and suggest to him to be a
candidate for the convention, suppos-
ing that the man would decline and
then naturally return the compliment
by suggesting the Office to Mr.. Haugh-
ton. He picked his man-old "Crane"
Parker. Crane" was popular, infu-
entail man in his neighborhood in
Chowan, but no one dreamed that pub
lie life ever entered Cranes brain.
Mr.. Haughton met Crane at court and,
taking him aside, said. Crane, folks
talking much about convention up your
way?" Yes, right smart" said Crane.
"Who do they speak Of for candidateg'
said Haughton. Well, [ dunno; no
body in pe1tickilar," said Crane.
"Well," said Mr.. Haughton, II tell you,
Crane, we want smart, sensible man
to represent us in this convention, and
[ think you are the man for us, if you
will run" Both faces wore a thought
full and anxious expression. Mr..
Haughton thought that Cranes next
word would be proposition for him to
be candidate. Not so. After a pause,
Crane said: "Well, I hadn't thought of
it, but [ reckon | will be a candidate;
you'll give me your infuence?" Mr..
Haughton retired, wiser man; and in
giving an account, secretly, to friend
Of his interview with Crane he made
this philosophical reflection: "There is
no one such q fool but believes he's
qualified for public life"

day.
THURSDAY, March 14.-House.-

SPECIAL attorneys appointed to assist the
district attorney to one, and limiting
the fee to $4,000. The bill finally passed
and the house went into committee of
the whole on the bill, extending to 3
years, the time for the Withdrawing of
distilled liquors from bond After a
long debate, the bill passed. Yeas, 118;
nays, 116.
FRIDAY, March 15-Senote.-The
senate was not in session.
FRIDAY, March 15.-House.-I the
house Mr.. Robins from the COM
mlttee on ways and means,
reported a substitute for the
bill to promote deposits Of savings ia
the treasury and the refunding Of the
national debt, which was referred to
committee of the whole; The bill pro-
vides that for the purpose Of refunding
the outstanding per cent. bonds into
bonds bearing a lower rate of interest;
any person may deposit at any postal
money order office lawful money of the
| United States, in sums not less than
! one dollar, and shall be entitled to re-
ceive therefor a postal money order on
the treasury, and that when such money
orders shall be presented to the treas
ury at Washington they shall be enter
ed to the credit Of the depositor, and
when such deposits amount to fifty dol

bonds. The contested election case of
Dean vs. Field, for the third district of
Massachusetts, was then considered.
After some discussion, the speaker
said ''the chair believes it his duty,
though it is very painful one, to lay a
communication before the house." He
then handed to the clerk and had read
telegram from the secretary of state
announcing the death in Havana, of
yellow fever, Of Hon. J. E. Leonard, of
Louisiana. The house Immediately ad-
journed.

Black Hills Gold.

Black Hills placer gold is ranked as
follows: Deadwood gold is fine and very
rusty; Spring and Rapid creek gold is
fiaky and very brilliant; while that
taken from Potato and Niger gulches
is nuggety, and the ground very spot
ted. Spring creek gold is by far the
most valuable, being from 81 to 81 80
per ounce in excess of that taken from
other districts. The largest nugget found
in the Hills thus far was discovered in
Niger gulch, and weighed 147 penny
weights, and was valued at $40. The
largest lump found at Deadwood was
valued at $50. Placer mining will con-
tinue for several years yet, and will
continue to yield handsomely.

A Project is underway which, if sue
cessfull, will make the great Colorado
desert, now one of the m ost barren spots
in this country, productive and valu-
able tract of land. A large quantity of
the seeds Of the best varieties Of dates
grown in Egypt have been planted in
that district, and the experimenters are
very hopeful for the result. The eli
mate and soil of the Colorado Desert is
singular, like that of the richest date
growing districts of Egypt, and it is
thought the date tree will grow and bear
therein without difficulty.

CHEESE MADE from PorAToI.S.-A foreign
paper says that cheese Is made from potatoes
in Thuringia and Saxony i'll the manner de-
scribed below Possibly the process may he
found worth trying if not profitable in this
country: After having collected guan-
.ity OF potatoes of good quality, giving the
preference to large. white kind. they are
boiled in caullrcn, and after becoming cool
they are peeled and reduced t" pulp, either
BY means of a CRATER or mortar. To five
pounds OF this pulp. which ought to be as
equal as possible, is added one pound OF Sur
milk and the necessary quantity OF salt The
whole is Lneaded together, ana the mixture
covered up ard allowed to lie for three or
four days, according to the season. At the
end Of this tir1e 1t Is kneadel anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets, when
the superluous moisture escapes. They are
then allowed to dry IN the shade, and placed
in layers, in large vessels. where they iaust
remain for fifteen DAYS. The oder these
cheese are the more their quality improves.
Three kinds are ma,ic-thc FIRST and most
common is made as detailed above; the
second. with four parts of potatoes and two
parts Of curdle! milk; the third, with two
parts OF potatoes and foEr paris OF cows or
ewes milk These chceseS have this adran-
tage over other kinds, that they do not en-
gender worms, and keep free for a number
OF years, provided they are placed IN dry
situation and III We'll closed vessels
