Why a Letter Don't Go.

Because you forgot to address
it.
Because you forgot to staml
it.
Because you forgot to write
the town or State on the en-
velope.
Because you didn't write the
street and number plainly.
Because you didn't put tar,e
cents on the letter for every
half ounce or fractional part
thereof.
Because you used a once
cancelled stamp.
Because you cut out an envel-
ope stamp and pasted it on your
letter.
Because you used internal
revenue stamps instead of post
age stamps.
Because you used patent
medicine Or proprietary stamps
instead of postage stamps
Because you used an old, out
OF date, stamp.
Because you used a foreion
Because you wrote the address
SO badly that no che could read
it.
because you wrote the address
on the top of the envelope and
1t was surely obliterated by the
postoffice dating, receiving and
cancelllng stamps.
And because you put your
letter in a blank envelope, and
sealed it and forwarded it to-
the dead letter office, where
thousands of letters are dai,v
destroyed, because the people
ire either careless or ignorant Of
he postal laws.-St. Louis

raised in the State, but if there
is a really good farmer who does
not feel heartily ashamed to ac-
knowledge the fact, We shall be
compelled to think that he is a
very poor judge of stock erihat
he has but a very small pride In
that important farm adjunct.
So far as our observation extend
nine-tenths Of the horned cattle
of the State are a little, half
starved, stunted, scrubby mon
grel set, with long coarse hair,
which stands out in almost every
direction with a general ten
dency towards an attempt to get
over the ears. The oxen are too
small for work. and the COWS
give but a little milk and that
Of the poorest quality. They
are undoubtedly hardy and that
makes them too tough-oh, how
tough,-for beef. Proper care
in breeding and a humane care
of the stock II feeding, with
comfortable sheds for lis protec-
ton in the cold and stormy
weather of the winter months,
while it costs but little, and the
outlay wonld be more than COW
cred by the increase in its value
and the saving of fertilizers
which would otherwise be lost
would prove ofimmense advan.
tage to the farmer, and in a very
few years a stock of cattle would
be produced of which he might
be proud.
Sheep raising in neal'y every
other State in the Union is high
ly profitable, and might be made
equally SO here, but 50 long as a
"yaller" dog or a hound pup is
considered an indispensable adj
junct of the farm, it is needless
to urge this branch Of husbandry
upon the people of North Caro-
lima.
Lastly, but not the least in i'm
portance and interest to farmers
of the State, is the need Of a
vast improvement in the stock
of hogs. This fact is apparent
to any one who has travelled
through the surrounding country
Much of the stock, so tar as our
observation extends, is a scurvy,

with confidence. To five gallons
of whitewash made of we'll burn

of whiting, half a pound of loaf
sugar, three pints Of rice -four
made to a well cooked paste,
aud a half pound white glue
dissolved in water. Apply the
mixture warm, after having pre-
vious'y scraped off old scaley
whitewash. This is like kalso-

First, collect together your

the correct numbers. The club
being formed engagements are
made to meet at each others
houses each week, or each fort
night, as may seem convenient.
Each member prepars a bill OF
fare written on a menu card,
which is dropped in a box. Then
each takes out a card and by al
lotment prepares a little supper
to be served to the company at
her own home on the appointed
evening. It is permissible to
have cold viands, and in this
case so much the better for my
young lady cook. Each lady
has the privilege of inviting a
gentleman, and it is understood
that criticism on the cooking is
not only allowed, but to be de-
sired. Of course it would not
do for cooks to dress too much,

Teach Your Boys.

Teach them that a true lady
may be found in calico quite as
frequently as in velvet.
Teach them that a common
school education with common
sense, is far better than a college
education without it.
Teach them that one good,
honest trade, we'll mastered, is
worth a dozen beggarly "pro.
LESSONS"
Teach them that honesty is
the best policy, that It's better
to be poor than to be rich on
the profits of crooked whisky
etc, and point your precept by
the examples of those who are
now suffering the torments of
the doomed.
Teach them to respect their

Teach tn that, as they ex-
pect to be4en some day, they
cannot too soon learn to protect

Teach them 81 your own ex-
ample that smoking in modera-
ton, though the least Of vices to

Teach them that to wear

but to wear a black eye is.
Teach them that God is no
respector Of sex, and that when
he gave the seventh command

Men, Women and Children Liter
ally Dying off Like Sheep by
Starvation and SMALLPOX.
The New York Herald prints
a detailed history Of the famine
in Brazil, which is truly start
ling, The particular district
visited by the famine contained
about 5000 inhabitants. The
winter of 1867 brought a
drought which cut off all crops
for the next season, and the
winter of 1878 was equally
disastrous. The people were
reduced to absolute starvation.
They lived principally In little
settlements, and these were
starved out they began to herd
together, and finally to flock to
the larger towns. Over 100000
refugees moved to a single town
whose population was only %.
900. Through the years 1877
and 1878 famine ruled supreme.
Cattle and all animals that
might have served for food per
ished with the men, women and
children. In the migration
from the interior the unfortunate
people
DIED on THE ROAD By THOUSANDS;
in the madness of starvation,
parents ate their own children.
The number of those who died
from starvation is estimated at
from 100000 to 100000. This
does not include those who cied
from disease resulting from
famine. 1t was not until this
terrible restitution and desola-
ton had been progressing more
than a year that the government
was able to afford even precari-
Gus and altogether insufficient
relief. The famine stricken
country was shut in by noun
were not n.av1gapre. II was de-
ficient Of railroads, and, when
the cattle died, there was no
means of transportation for
either persons or food.
Hardly had the government
been able to afford food and
shelter to those who had been
able to crowd to the larger
towns, when, as an almost ma
tural result Of the restitution,
filth and wretchedness, the
MADE ITS APPEARANCE.
Vaccination had never been
practiced, and the scourge fol-
lowed hard upon the famine.
Yellow fever and cholera had
their share, but the smallpox
asserted a supremacy. At the
town of Fortalez there were $780,
900 refugees. Here the pesti-
lence ragged for several months,
and in December last the num-
Der of deaths reached 1000 a
lay. Twenty-one thousand
persons died in December. At
,ther places the mortality was
,roportionately as great. There
vas no sanitary attempt to avert
he mortality or to limit it. 1t
vas allowed to wear itself out.
The dead were buried in trench
IS, thinly covered with sand, [
md now the black plague is {
onsuming those who escaped s
he famine, the yellow fey er,
holera, and the smallpox. ,
THE WORST OVER. /!
While the p~estilence has not !
ntirely exhausted itself, the
7orst at least is over. Heavy F,
aims have fallen, and the pros !
ect for crops il good. The {
government is doing t
verything in its power t. allie
late sufferings OF the people of t
ne unfortunate district, and it S
probable that the remnant of

A Forger Leaves his Wife
in his own Garb ans
Emerges from Jail in the
Paraphernalia of Woman,

IdIdpu0TuotIld u w OuQdu.
Our readers will remember
the account we gave of some
shrewd forgeries- yeQWWiitatesd1l 5 bHi
time since, for which he was ar
rested and placed in Nash coun-
ty Jail, at Nashville. The first
forgery was a draft on DR.. John
Arrington's sons, Of Petersburg,
purporting to be signed by A.
w. Kicks the second was a
note purporting to be secured
by I. P. Braswell, Esq, and on
which the money was drawn
from the bank in Wilson.
Before he was conveyed to
Jail he attempted to escape, but
not being okous podous, as
Achylles was said to be, he was
soon overhauled and returned to
a hearing before the magistrate.
On Thursday last his wife
was admitted to the jail to con-
fer with her husband, as is the
custom, and after the usuallapse
of time she, as was supposed,
came out deeply grieved and
weeping, and departed for her
home. The surprise of the jailor
can better be imagined than de-
scribed, when he discovered in
stead of Benjamin Franklin Pitt
in his prisoner, the wife of Pitt
undergoing vicarious imprson-
ment.
The festive forger had donned
the apparel of his courageous
and better half and had fled the
scenes.
Then came the question
what should he do about it
He had no commitment for
Mrs, Pitt, and how could he hold
-.
Her offence was assisting a
prisoner to escape. But was she
not coerced by her husbands?
law yers are vexing
their brains over it.
