and Evarts, and that he had been strongly
advised by very near friends to displace
them from his Cabinet but he declared that
these efforts had not impressed him in the
least.
speaking of the year just closed, the New
York Tribune says: "The year has been one
of the most significant in modern history.
The United States have passed through the
abysses of Presidential controversy and a
labor insurrection, only to be menaced in the
end with financial disorder. At the outset
the Sultan set at defiance the will of Europe
as expressed by the representatives of the
six Great Powers; and now, at the close of
the campaigns in Bulgaria and Armenia, he
is suing for peace. In the diplomacy of the
Continent, the Triple Alliance has absorbed
the functions of the Conference. A pro-
longed political struggle, during which the
Republicans have maintained perfect self
command, has proved that France is ripe for
selfgovernment."

good but the purchaser, not having heard
from Mr.. Wheeler for some years, and fearing
that he might retire from the business, want

Says the Charlotte Observer: Mr.. j. M.
Turrentine, one of the route agents on the
Richmond and Danville Railroad, did double
duty between Charlotte and Danville just
after the opening of the road after the No.
vember freshet; and the weather being cold
and the mail car not supplied with fire, was
attacked with an affection Of the throat which
caused him the loss of his voice. He is still
unable to speak in tone above whisper,
and on the ground of this loss of voice has
entered suit against the railroad company,
whose duty it was to have furnished him a
fire, laying his damages at $4,000. Mr.. Tur-
rentine is still in the discharge Of his duties,
against the advice of his physician, however.
Speaking of the Chester and Lenoir Rail-
road, the Lincoln Progress says: We inter-
viewed Mr.. Robert Roseman on the Narrow
Gauge Railroad the other day. He reports
that the grading is completed to Cline's
bridge on Clark's creek, three miles from
town. The weather is so bad now they can
not make much progress. The new winter
quarters for the convicts have been completed
and good mattresses furnished, so that they
are very comfortable. Two convicts Of the
thirty sent up in September have died. One
was much diseased when he came, and died
from its effects; the other died fpnuemonia.
One convict attempted to escape a week
age and Mr.. Lutz, one of the guards, gave
him foot race for hundred yards, and as
the darkey was about to get away, he fired on
him with pistol and shot him in the back.
The wound was painful, but has healed up,
and the darkey is now at work again, wiser
and better man None Of the convicts have
run since this affair. 1t will take twelve
months to complete the grading to Newton.
Appropos to this, we are informed that there
are now in the penitentiary one hundred con-
victs and no further acquisitions for them.
