Flro WorsIipins In Carolina.

Thirty years ago citizen Of Charlotte
county, N. c., lighted fire on his hearth
stone rs soon as he carried his bride to his
new home, and has kept it burning ever
since. A few days ago tho man being
questioned about the matter stated that the
fire was still burning, and that throughout
all these years 1t had never been allowed
to go out. Questioned as to whether or
not 1t made the house uncomfortably hot in
torrid weather, he said the extra heat thus
generated was not pcrccptible. In reply
to another question, lie said that in summer
weather, when it was necessary for COM
forts sake to keep the fire burning very low
he had to get up frequently at night to re-
plcnish 1t slightly, but that he counted this
as nothing when he contemplated the idea
of that fire going out. Hc has evidently
formed for 1t strong attachment, and vet
ono would not take him for sentimental
man. But this fire is to him constant re-
mindcr of the day when he first brought
home Ills bride. Around it his children
have grown up into manhood and woman
hood, and their children have gazed into Its
light. It's light was the last that fell upon
the eyes of his wife, and hc hopes That 1t
will be the last that will fall upon his.
Viewed thus his sentiment in the matter
can he understood, and 80 strong Is this
sentiment that with the old man it amounts
almost to apassion.

A lSaby Seal.

A fisherman while out on tho bay at
Northport pulling in his lines saw a
young seal rise to the surface or the
water close by his boat. Reaching over
quickly he caught tho youngster In his
hands and pulled him into the boat.
Knowing that a live seal would be quite
sight to Northporters he brought him
ashore and for an hour or two placed
the little fellow on exhibition. The
seal was about as large as common
house dog and his coat was one Of a
light gray color. His face was ono of
the most Intelligent ever saw upon q
dumb animal. Once in a while he
would cry like child for it, mother.
and the tears would trickle down his
cheeks In a very sad way. The fisher
man took him away in his boat, after
we had seen him, and put him into the
water again.

NfOltke and Bismarck.

During the eight years which have
clapsedsincc the German empire was found
cd at Versailles, the writer's of the father
land have been very busy discussing the
merits Of the leading pcrsonagcs in the
drama Of the Franco-Prussian war. BY
general consent, Prince Bismarck and Count
Moltkc were admitted to be the two fore
most leaders; but opinion differed r,licn as
to which is really greater. For some
time the imposing figure of Bismarck en-
tircly filled the foreground; but more re-
Gently there are mGny signs showing that
he Is not unlikely to be supplantcd finally
by the less obtrusivc personality of Moltke.
The moro tho actual events of tho years
1870 and 1871 became known, from both
official documents and private memoirs
somc of the latter as yet lttlcknown in this
country, while Of no mean historical impor-
tancc-tho more 1t appears certain that
Count Moltke was in reality tho leading
spirit Of the time. Ho commanded not only
in the field but in the cabinet. He drew
beforehand the plans Of battles; and rs he
designed the mcshes on which the German
hosts graspcd the capital Of France, so he
dc)ineated likewise the hard outlines of tho
treaty following the conquest. All this
was not known before, but is now gradual
ly becoming known. Moltkc, throughout
the Franco-Prussian war; remained very
much in the same attitude lie still assumes
in the German Rcichstag, where he sits
with arms folded, immovably in the samo
place, speaking rarely, seeming often to
dream, but still showing when he opens his
lips, that he has not lost word of the de-
bate. 1t has in recent years been the
fashion in Germany, adopted from comic
papers, to give nicknamcs to eminent men.
Prince Bismarck is "dcr chrliche Makler''
the honest broker, while Count Moltke is
called ''der Wagonlonker"--t driver, or
the man at tho helm. The title Indicates
moro nearly than anything else the position
assigned to tho grea. Captain by his coun-
trymen.

CIDAR VlNEuAR.--Therc Is no vinegar
which wears, or which we can use
without distaste, like good cider vine
gar. If any Of our readers have pure
cider which they wish to change into
vinegar, 1t can be easily done by nliing
cask partly full, and setting it at the
south side OF building or fence, where
it will keep warm; putting Il junk bottle
in the bung-EOle, neck downwards, to
keep out dirt and insects, and letting 1t
stand through the heat OF summer.
Once week dlaw out a few gallons
and ponrfack slowly. This will hasten
the process, and by fall very fair vine
gar will be had, which will be greatly
improved by keeping through another
year without freezing. The air will
circulate around the neck Of the bottle,
and the occasional drawing out and
pouring back gives more air, thus tend
ing to hasten the process. a warm
temperature, with plenty Of Nir, is all
that is nccdful in making vinegar-al-
ways provided you have good pure
cider to begin with, put up in clean,
sweet casks.
