The other day an omnibus full Of
passengers drove up town from the
Union Depot. Side by side sat a
commercial traveller named William
McCaby aud Mrs. Winnie G.. DUN
bleton, the eminent lady temperance
lecturer When the omnibus reached
the Barrett House the commercial mis-
sionary seized his valise aud started
out. The lady made grab after
him and he halted.

"You are certainly mistaken, mad

"No, sir the lady replied, firmly,

Finally, the traveller said he would
open HE valise Ia prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her valise opened in the
presence Of a crowd Of strangers; but
as there was no other way Of settling
the dispute, she ut length consented.
The traveller sprung the lock, opened
the valise, and the curious crowd bent
forward to see. On the very top Of
every thing lay big fiat flask, hall

one or two-things that nobody knows

Joe G. $. Blackburn is the repre-.

defeat after defeat upon their party
while advancing their own personal

upon the Southern members of Con

PEELED them to support him for the
Speakership. This gave him some
what a representative character. and
his utterances were supposed to ex-
press the wishes Of the Democracy.
But, lacking judgment and conviction,
he has made himself ridiculous and
bis party suspected. He was very
bitter against Tilden before the Ohio
election because Of his financial views;
after the Ohio election be was for Til

financial issue; after the news from
New York he was quick to throw Til

because they were hard money men.

Probably never in the history Of the
world have mechanical invention and
scientific discovery been brought TO
bear 20 universally and eaectually to
cheaper and improve the products Of
industry a. in the past ten years. Es-
pecially has this been the case in this
country, until, with our manifold la.
bor-saving appliances, we have been
enabled to place our wares in all the
leading markets Of the world. com

worthless and magnify results in in
creased values.
Blast furnaces now turn out double
the product Of former years without
increasing the size, and from many
parts Of the country we have been
told that iron was made at from s11
to Sl4 per ton. Considering these
facts, and the facilities now known Of
utilizing our abundant lean and cold
short ores, many of our conservative
and solid manufacturers look with
alarm upon the persistent efforts Of
some Of our dealers to talk up
prices and urge a yet greater advance.
If pig iron can be made for ga per

it would he best for the interests Of

About three years ago the Observer
reported the case Of a citizen Of Meek
linburg county, N. c., who having
married in 1S43, lighted a fire on his
hearthstone as soon rs he carried his
bride to his new home and had kept it
burning ever since. The citizen was
in town yesterday, and, being ques-
toned about the matter, stated that
the fire was still burning, and that
throughout all these thirty-six years
il had never been allowed to 60 out.
Questioned as to whether or not it
made the house uncomfortably hot in
torrid weather, he said the extra heat
thus generated was perceptible. In
reply TO another question, he said that
in Summer weather, when il was nee
essary for comforts sake to keep the
FIRE burning very low, he had to get
up frequently at night to replenish it
slightly, but that he counted this as
nothing when he contemplated the
idea Of that fire going out. He has
evidently formed for il a strong at
tachment, and yet one would not take
him for a sentimental man. But this
FIRE is 10 him a constant reminder of
the day when he first brought home
his bride. Around it his children
have grown up into manhood and wo-
manhood, and their children have
gazed into its lights. 1t was the last
light that fell upon the eyes Of his
wife, and he hopes that it will he the
last that will fall upon his. Viewed
thus, his sentiment in the matter can
be understood, and so strong is this
sentiment that with the old man it
amounts almost to a passion [Char-
lotte On. CD Observer.

Of the merlin or "stone falcon" species
make use Of the passing OF the trains
for predatory purposes. They fly
close behind the train, near the
ground, partly hidden by the smoke,
but carefully watching for small birds
which, frightened by the train as it
rushes roaring past, fly up in bewild-
cred shoals; the merlins then, while
the little birds are thinking more Of
the train than of lurking foes, swoOT
on them from the ambush OF the
smoke, and strike them down with
ease. II they miss, they return to
the wake Of the carriages and resume
their fight and their hunt. They
can, it seems, easily keep pace will
an express train, and outstrip it wher
they please.
