clear and soft as yours" said a lady
to her friend. "You can easily make
it so." answered the friend. "How ?"

OUR STATE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
crate people will reflect that our next can.
dldate has to be elected after he is ooujno-
ted. When times are very hard Democrats
are not apt to attend the elections. Our taxes
are heavy. What we pay and are to nav
towards the Ducktown and Paint Rock and
Asheville railways is being locked into
down here. The people are afflicted with
short crops and low prices, and are not en-
thusiastic in politics. Let the aspirants
know that We are looking very closely into
men records. Ny opinion is that it will
not be a Vance frolic in the next election.
And it will be quite we'll for our party if
they remember that there is an Eastern sec
ton Of North Carolina. -Bertie corresnon-
dent Of the Raleigh OJserrer.
Ii we refer to statistics we will find that
a majority of the Democratic votes cast in
North Carolina come from what are called
the black or negro counties. The county
OF Halifax alone polled "a large q vote in
1876 IS several Of the small western coun-
ties, and vet because we have no legislative
representative. one Of those small counties
has far greater inhuencc with the $50 vote.
than Halifax. The consequence is that.
though the East with it's forty thousand
votes is an important factor in elections. af-
ter the voting is done, the profitable places
are all given to some county that sends a
member to the Legislature. In other words.
the spoils are put where they will do the
most good regardless Of natural Justice

THE CAROLINA FAIR.-The Annual Exhl
bition of the Carolina Fair Association
opened on Tuesday morning last. The
number of visitors on the first day was not
large, but on Wednesday and Thursday the
number was considerably increased and
there was a larger crowd than on any pre-
vious occasion of the sort. The hotels and
all the boarding houses were filled TO over
flowing.
While the exhibition of horses and stock
was not very large, the quality was supe-
rior, being mostly blooded animals. The
display in Floral Hall was quite creditable.
and in some departments superior to any
thing heretofore exhibited. The exhibit
ton of machinery, though not large in
quantity, was substantial and of No. |
workmanship. 4 fuller notice of the exhi-
bition in the various departments will be
published in our next, as also a list OF the
premiums awarded.
The road steamer of DR.. Z. O. Elliott, of
Catawba county attracted marked atten-
tion and interest. 1t runs on even and I'M
even ground smoothly, being guided by a
lever IN the hands of an engineer who sits
on the machine.
The military parade on Wednesday was
quite imposing, consisting of the two Char
lotte companies and the cadets of the Caro-
INA military 1NSlIIule, anu CdpL. Dtll .
corps of cadets from Kings Mountain, the
Arson Veterans from Arson county, the
Southern Stars from Lincoln county, the
Polk Rifles from Pineville, Mecklenburg
county, and the Mecklenburg Riiemen.
The Rock Hill band and the band belong
ing to the Charlotte GreyS furnished the
music.
On Thursday there YVES a large CrOwd in
the city, and the Fair Grounds presented n
throng of people seldom seen there. Col.
ID. K. McRae, who was to deliver the an
nual address, was present, having arisen
from a sick bed for the purpose Of discharg-
ing that duty, and made an effort to speak,
but after speaking for q short time had to
abandon the attempt on account Of hoarse-
ness and general debility from the effects OF
a bad cold. The people regret his aff1ic-
ton and At being deprived OF hearing him,
but know that he made Il brave effort to
crafty them.
The friends of the fair are gr%atitied at the
success which has attended their efforts to
make it a strictly agricultural, mechanical
and commercial exhibition. We learn that
the receipts at the gate OF Wednesday
amounted to about 500, and on Thursday
We presume the amount was larger. All
the officers of the association have worked
well and faithfully, the president, bIr. j.
). Myers, especially, devoting much of his
time to the discharge of his duties; and the
same may be said of the secretary, treasurer
and executive COMMITTEE Democrat.

Recent Investigation into b Action
Of AnAStheticS.

The third report on the action Of anas-
thetlcs the Scientific Grant Committee
of the British Medical Association has been
made recently the report embracing the re-
suits OF investigating the condition Of the
blood pressure in animals under the inAu-
ence OF chloroform, ethidine, and ether
The experiments were made upon rabbits
and dogs, and seem to have been performed
with great care. The facts obtained from
the observations, says the Medical Record.
warranted the committee in reaching the
following conclusion: Ether, when adj
ministered to animals, has no appreciable
effect in reducing blood pressure; chloro-
form and ethidine have a decided effect in
that direction.
Chioroform has sometimes an unexpected
and apparently capricious effect On the
hearts actions. The occurrence Of these
sudden and unlocked for effects are a source
OF serious danger, because the blood pres
sure is with great rapidity reduced to al
most zero, while the pulsations are greatly
retarded or even stopped.
BY etheidine the reduction OF blood pres
sure IS not, so far as has observed, though
sudden and unexpected depressions. Chic
reform may cause death by primarily para
lying either there of the respiration. Al
though not free from danger on side of the
heart and the respiration, ethidine is, in a
very high degree, safer than chloroform
lnasmuch as the former does not comprom-
lsr the heart as does the latter.
\ legitimate deduction from the facts
given IS that ether is by far the safest OF the
three an9sthetics used, and that ethidine is
much safer than chloroform, and eluanly
efficient.
