WERE il not that North Carolina is held
uD to the plane OF civilization by her sur
roundings, she would soon drop back to
the condition Of Connecticut, two hundred
years ago. 1t was in the constitutional
convention of North Carolina that the sug-
gestion was made that no man who does
not believe the bible should hold Office or
be allowed to testify in courts of justice.
And it was North Carolina who elected to
the United States Senate a man who makes
every postmaster of the land u censor of
the press. The Waddel amendment to the
post office bill gives to every postmaster
authority to exclude from the mails any
public print which, in his judgment, ought
not to be circulated among the people
any Document or newspaper that might
nave tendency to corrupt their morals,
damage their virtue or unhinge religious
convictions, The name of the ,diotc biyot
who would thus manacle thought and in.
curry, is Waddcll. He will retire from the
position he disgracecs on the 4th of March
next; but public scorn and indignation
should follow him into his retirement and
there lash him into an appreciation of the
Tact that this is the 10Th century.

Tur TRUE WAY To MvIooR,TE,-The
true way to invigorate a feeble system is to
infuse activity into the operations of the
stomach, that wondrous alembc in which
the TODD is transmitted into the constit.
uentS of blood, the chief element of our
vitality. Hostetter's Stomach Bit;ers, be-
cause it accomplishes this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many so called tonics,
useful indeed as appetizers, but imperative
as aids to digestion and assimilation. This
sterling cordial, while it invigorates the
stomach, BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the liver,
bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the escap,
through the regular channels of effetc and
useless matter thrown off by the system,
which is thus purified as well as invigor.
ated by it. Its tonic influence is soon
made manifest by an increase of vital
energy and more active and regular dis
charge of every physical function, and =.
has the further effect of rendering the
system unassailable by malarial epidemics.

THE Greenback delegation in Congress
are harboring the deusion that they will
hold the balance Of power in the forty sixth
Congress. Granting two of the four Cali
fornia Congressman to be elected in Sep
TENDER to the Republicans, the Democrats
will still have 149 members, or majority
of five over the Republicans and grcenback-
ers combined. But, as all four of the Cali
fornia members will be democratic. the
democratic majority will be nine. OF the
thirteen Greenbackers eight are Democrats,
and, in the organization of the House
will vote with the Democrats. Hence, the
chance for the five Republican Grecnback-
ers to sell ont themselves and their Demo
cratic contedcratcs to the Republicans, and
thus give to that party the organization of
the House, is very slim indeed

that in the underfed and over populated
districts of England the thoughts Of the
laboring man should be turned to such a
country. 1t is not wonderful that his
longings by day and dreams by night
should be Of the means by which he can
reach it. And it is true that all signs
and indications point to a coming large
emigration of this kind. 1t will be read
lily swallowed up and asSimulated by this
country, and will tend very largely to its
growth and Importance il the near future.
Let it come by all means.
These things cannot fail to convince
thinking men in this country that the so-
called hard times here are to have no
permanency, and that the political party
which placed itself upon foundation *
unreliable, must pass away like the morn
ing mist. This country is to have fiji
ture as great and prosperous as its bounds
and is to enter upon a career which II,
adversely can overthrow.

Story Of a Brooch.

There is brooch in the window of
one of our best jewellers to which
curious tale is attached. This breast
pin is mounted with great art and set
with gems. It is divided in four parts,
and shows four twisted, bent, and blunt
ordinary pins under transparent
enamel. Where were these four found2
What were they used for? Did they
hold a fichu, shawl, or flower? The
poetry of the brooch had to be looked
into, and the following has been ascer-
tanned: A foreign count was years ago
hurried one night out of bed and ar
rested for political offense. Ere his
dreams had been quite forgotten he was
dressed by those who had spied out his
abode and dragged him to prison. IL
happened to be rather a dark one. The
day after this occurrence he began to
think how terrible it would be to live
long in such location with nothing to
do, and as he thought he fumbled about
his coat pockets. While doing 80 he
discovered four pins which he had
stuck in the lining of one of his frock
tails in case he might require one. He
held the four for some moments, then
flung them right and left about his mar
row cell. 1t was quiet one, but, lis
ten with all the intensity he could.
there was no way of knowing where
they had fallen. He therefore went
down on all tours, and carefully felt
about, sprawling in every direction,
until he had recovered them. Then he
got up and recommended scattering
them for the sake Of another exciting
hunt. Well, readers, this he did six
and seven times q day, and when he was
sleepless, for six long years. Napoleon
III. died, then Victor Emmanuel, and
the Count was set at liberty. The four
pins were kept, and q Comtesse is to
wear the brooch they are enshrined in.
This story only teaches that all must
take an interest in life. and the most
exciting the best under the pressure of
grief. The Comte has related that had
he lost one of his four pins he could
not have endured captivity. Each time
he flung them about he fancied they
were quite lost, and the ardor with
which he crawled over his nude floor
was equal to that of the chase. Books.
papers, and pens were denied him.

A Scotch NOblemsn on American
Manners.

Lord Ronald Gowar thus writes in
the London Vanity Fair: "You have
asked me to give you in few lines my
impressions of the American people.
This sounds to me like asking fly to
give his impressions of the mind OF o
man on whose head he has alighted.
Altogether I was but fortnight in the
Imperial City-as I believe New York
is now called-on my voyage to and
from San Francisco for I hurried
across the vast Continent, only stop
ping on my voyage out a day at Niagara
and one at Salt Lake City, on my way
from the shores of the Atlantic to those
of the Pacific. In New York saw but
little of the society of that place, not
caring for dining out or for calls Of
ceremony, and passing my dsys in
walks about the town and my evenings
at the theatre or in theatrical club
yclept. The Lambs in the Union
Square, where poor Harry Montague,
one of the best fellows that ever stepped,
had, on the day after my arrival, en-
tered my name as honorary member.
Not being parsonage. and not caring
to appear in the white tie and fine linen
every evening, and having wished to
see the social life in the American city,
not as guest, but as traveller, I think
I can more impartially judge of what
would be the impression made on CO.'S
mopolitan, than had traded on being
an Englishman with a handle attached
to my name, as probably most British
ers with such an impediment would do.
I mixed with all classes, in the street
car or omnibus (which, in its American
as is Partisan Victoria to "growler"),
in the Union Club-the travellers of
New York-and in the palatial steamer
of the Hudson River, to which steamer
and to which river we have nothing to
compare in the Old World. Wherever
I went found all classes of the Ameri-
cans not only civil, but highly civilized,
as compared class for class with the
English /; not only amiable, but, as a
rule, kind and courteous, and, with
rare exceptions, well-informed, we'll
bred, and having more refinement of
manner than any other people I have
come among. What struck me espe-
cially in New York was the invariable
civility shown by all classes of men to
women, whether the woman rustled in
silk or wore linsey-wolsey or homespun;
however crowded the car or the footway,
room was at once made for lady.
Does not this somewhat contrast with
the surley, grumpy incivility that is
shown to the fair sex in our public car
iiages and streets This politeness is
not as in a neighboring country to ours,
mere lip and eye civility, but it arises,
1 believe, from a mutual and intuitive
good breeding with which, as I said
before, the Americans of every class are
endowed.
