LOCAL NEWSPAPERS J

Many persons suppose this list to be
composed of CHEAP, low-priced
newspapers. The fact is quite other
wise. The Catalogue states exactly
what the papers are. When the name
of paper is printed in FULL FACE
TYPE it is in every instance the BEST
paper in the place. When printed in
CAPITALS it is the ONLY paper in
the place. When printed in Roman
letters it is neither the best nor the
only paper, but is usually a very good
one, Notwithstanding. The list gives
the population of every town and the
circulation of every paper. 1T IS
NOT A COOPERATIVE LIST. 1T
rs NOT CHEAP LIST. AT the foot Of
the Catalogue for each State the inn
portant towns which are not covered
by the list are enumerated. IT IS AN
HONEST LIST. The rates charged for
advertising are barely one-fifth the
publishers schedule. The price for
one inch four weeks in the entire list
is $685.. The regular rates of the pa
pers for the same space and time are
So, 1866. The list includes go news
papers, of which 1853 are issued DAILY

A Handsome Income For An

ENERGETIC LADY OR GENTLEMAN.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just patented and are now in
Producing to the public Handsomely
finished Family Scale, an article
that has always been needed in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
paper the proprietors ask us torefer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. 1t is very seldom that a
new article steps SO suddenly into uni
versal favor. House-keepers are loud
in its praise, it is always ready. there
are no weights to get lost or to be
hunted up, it is reliable, and will not
get out of order. The description of
them is handsome base surmounted
by a column in which works spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to
weigh anything up to twelve pounds
with perfect accuracy, on the top OF
the column is the platform on which
the articles to be weighed are placed,
and they have an adjustable indicator
so that you can take the tare of any
vessel you may use in weighing,
giving you the exact net weight.
House-keepers at once see their value
in weighing fruits, sugars and other
ingredients used in preserving, cook.
ing ETC., or in testing the weights OF
purchases from others.
The scales are made of Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in 8
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
1t seems to us that nearly every
family in this county will want one
and is certainly rare opportunity fol
some smart and energetic party to picR
up quite nice little income during
the next few months The Company
has agents in other counties who ar,
easily making from $5 90 to So 90 pc
day selling them, and we would re
commend parties in need of employ
ment to drop the OHIO SCALE

fully given them by mentioning ou

-CYCLoPEDIA OF LITERATUBE.-A
list of the celebrated authors whose
lives and writings are represented in

Hale, Walton, Dryden, Temple,
Evelyn, Pepys, Butler, Addison,
Swift, Pope, Ramsey, Cibber, Steel,
Berkely, Defoe, and Bolingbroke, are

gladness to many scholars heart"
says the Times, Of Philadelphia, ITO
find that this truly admirable work
has been brought within the range of
shallow pockets" Eight such vol
umes, beautifully printed, and ele-
gantly bound in cloth, for only 81, so,
or by the single volume for 43 cents,
postpaid, is certainly marvel of
cheapness, and should establish an
enviable reputation for the publishers,
if it can not make their fortune.
Already they report sale Of nearly
10000 volumes, 1t ought to be in
every library and home in the land.

Some interesting statistics on the
consumption of alcoholic liquors in
France have been lately brought be-
fore the French Academy of Medicine
by M. Lunier. Wine is the true ma
tional drink, and there Is consumed of
it, Oh an average, thirty gallons per in
habitant per annum. In 1888 the num-
Der was only fifteen gallons. The con-
sumption of cider tends to diminish.
But brandy is drunk to facilitate the
digestion of cider; and the more cider
the more brandy. The consumption
of beer has increased considerable
within the last fifty years. The con-
sumption of spirits, which was about
two quarts per head in 1887, is now
represented by three quarts. The de
partments which consume most spirits
are those which do not consume much
wine. With regards to spirits, Nj.
Lunier proves that it is in the depart
ments consuming most spirits that
most cases sOfaccidental death, through
excess, occur, and the case of appre-
hension for drunkenness are five
times more numerous in these depart
ments than in those consuming prin-
cipally wine. Alcoholic insanity, too,
is almost everywhere in proportion to
the direct consumption of fspirits. The
only exceptions are La Vendee and
Charente Inferieure, where they drink
only white wines but these taken in
excess are as dangerous in this respect
rs brandy.

New York, in November, 1878, pay
ing 1855 month, with meals included.
In March, 1874, 1000 worth ofjewelry
was stolen from the rooms occupied by
the family. Mrs. Hancock sued for
50 2,452, the value of the articles be-
longing to her, and Gen. Hancock
sued for the value of the articles be-
longing to him. Referee H. F.
Averill decided for the proprietors of
the st. Cloud on the ground that the
Hancock family were not guests in the
meaning of the law. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court. which on
Thursday reversed the decision of the
referee and ordered a new trial. So

the 81 1000.

An exchange says: Mechanics
and material men should be careful
about doing work or furnishing ma
terial OH the separate real estate of
married women, unless receiving pay
in advance as to secure them from the
necessity of fling liens. The Supreme
Court interprets the law as very
strictly limiting the powers of mar
ried women, and expressed the opin-
ion that it is to be sincerely hoped
that "neither by construction or legis-
lation will their power to contract for
improvements to their separate real
estate be extended. Married women
are thereby looked upon by the Court
as being incapable of managing their
own affairs, hence this protection"

Baltimore is the champion city of
America for the manufacture of cheap
jellies. 1t is we'll understood that the
jelly is an animal, rather than a vege-
table product, being simply gelatine,
colored and favored according to the
fruit that is to be represented. Boston
jelly is chiefly made of apples, also
favored and colored in imitation of
other fruits, and the imposition is dis
covered by very few. 1t costs IA cents
pound, which is about half what the
genuine fruits represented can be sup
piled for. Boston is also great rasp-
berry jam mart, and the eight firms
manufacturing it produce an aggregate
of 500 tons year. 1t sells for l8 cents
pound, and is made from dried rasp-
berries.

DOGS In THE CONSTITUTION.

We are upon the eve Of great public
crisis: and while the whole city slept in
seeming indifference to the fearful issue aris-
ing around us, the Picdptae sounded the
alarm and startled the whole city to It's feet.
We concede all the credit to our esteemed and
fearless neighbor for detecting in jennings,
the dog fighter, the enemy of our constitu-
ton and the secret and insidious foe OF the
liberties OF the people The grandest Jour-
nalistic triumph of the day was gained by
our stalwart neghbor when it got the dog
fight issue before the courts. The Judge of
the Superior Criminal Court, it is true, failed
to suppress jennings and Murphy, or to curb
the fighting propensities of their bulldogs;
but our interchangeable contemporary dragged
out from the obscurity of remote Justices
court meek, inglorious Mansfield Mr.. JUS
tice Falls, who, spurning the Judge Of the Su-
perior Criminal Court and the law issued an
order that the dog row should not proceed.
Yet our contemporary does not seem to
rest easy on Mr.. Justice Falls decision,
ana yesterday morning it burst forth In an
eoquent and startling denunciation OF dog
nsnung. Hung be the heavens with black"

The proceedings Immediately preceding
the adjournment of the United States Senate
yesterday calls to mind the wild orgies which
always marked the closing scenes of the Lou
isiana Legislature during the Warmoth re-
gime. The same iawessness characterized
the proceedings, the same indecent spectacle
was presented Of the approval of bills which
were never passed, and the same disregard
OF decency and decorum was manifested II
Is tame language we use when such proceed
ings are pronounced as disgraceful 1t Is
doubtful II such a scene was ever before wit
messed in the Senate Chamber at Washington
The occurrences reported cannot fail to SHOCK
the public sense, and will go far TO dispe
prevailing notions about the august charac
ter of the Senate, and the dignity and de
corum of Senators. No tap-room in Wash
ington witnessed more boisterous and un
diRnified display than that made by the Sen.
ate of the United States as the late session
drew to close.

A bill has just passed the Legislature of
North Carolina providing for the settlement
OF the State debt. 1t provides for the fund
ing of the old debt at forty, twenty-five and
fifteen cents on the dollar, the interest cou-
pons to be surrendered with the old bonds.
The debt, principal and accrued interest,
affected by this bill amounts to about $685.
100000. The amount of new bonds to be issued
under its provisions will not exceed S3700,-
900. They are to draw per cent interest.
The bill provides that no interest shall be
paid on any OF the outstanding bonds. 1t Is
believed that the bondholders will cheerfully
accept the propositions contained in this bill.
Otherwise no relief is afforded them. The
State has not paid any interest on the debt
for several years. 1t is too poor to pay both
interest and current expenses. It discrimi-
mates in favor of its officials and employees,
paying cash for al warrants when presented
at the treasury OF course the bondholders
think that they ought to have all the money,
but most people will agree that the Tarheel
policy is the true one. The States first duty
is to its own citizens After they are cared
for, outsiders should be attended to as far as
possible,
