A HORRIBLE SCENE.-A STRONG ARGU-
MENT FOR III PRIVACY OF EXECUTIONS IN
FRANCE.-The movement in France to have
all capital sentences executed In private IS
likely to receive a remarkable impetus from
the horrible scene which occurred at Agen
at the execution Of the parricide Laprade.
When Deibler, Roch's successor, entered
the condemned man cell with his three
aides, Laprade sprang into a corner and re-
fused to sit down on the stool and have his
hair cut and his toilet made. No, | want
to 90 as | am" he said, and when the execu-
toner said soothingly Come, come, we don't
want to make you suffer- shouted, But
you do make me suffer, and unjustly, tool
never hurt any one.
1t took the four executlOners nearly halt
an hour to get him down, SO desperately did
he defend himself with hands, feet and teeth,
indeed. four keepers had to be summoned to
their assistance. Then when they had tied
his legs he refused to sit down on the stool,
and breaking the cords with which he was
bound began another fierce struggle, crying
all the time: You d)n't think it. painful
l wish you were in my place At last
one of the keepers took the PROSTATE nan
by the hair and ears and pounded his head
against the stone floor till he surrendered
aud promised to struggle no longer.
After feeling the steel OF the scissors as
the neck of his shirt was cut off, Leprade
made no resistance, but remained in a hor-
rible calm, muttering only from time to
time, ''This is painful-very painful" As
is done with PARTICLES, a white shirt was
thrown upon his shoulders and a black veil
knotted about his head, descending to his
feet. When at the scaffold the veil was re-
moved his face was seen to be all bruised
and bleeding from the pounding he had re
ceived. After his head had been placed in
the lunette he writhed round ~endeavoring to
get a glimpse of the axe but in a moment it
was placed in position and the blade fell.
A similar case occurred in lS49, when a
poacher at Nievre, who had assassinated a
game-keeper, was condemned to death.
He resisted in prison first and then on the
scaffold, and finally assistance was sent for,
and the victim was literally forced under the
guillotine. The crowd heard his groans and
struggles until the fatal blade cut off his
head. Charles and Francois Eugo, the son
of the poet, related this terrible affair in the
Erenen,ent at the time, and were condemned
to Imprisonment for insulting the law and
the maglStracy.

MARLBORO, July 1st, 1879.

Editors Farmer and Mechanic:
Last Saturday the farmers of Pitt county
were favored with the rarest treat that it
has been our good fortune to receive for
many years. Indeed | doubt if ever our
county has had the pleasure to celebrate
such an occasion. We have been visited
often by eloquent and honored men, but
never before has one come to us on a mis-
sion 50 appropriate and 50 fraught with
tldlngs OF good to our people as did our
worthy COMMISSIONS of Agriculture. If
had been announced that Col. Polk would
speak at centre Bluff on the 2Sth of June.
some weeks before that time, and prepara-
tons We're made for a large turn out, and A
glorious reception for our honored guest. SO
at ten 0 clock there was assembled under the
shade OF the stately trees that lined the
banks OF the Tar, a crowd of ladies and gen
tlemen that would do credit to any county in
the State. COMMISSIONS Polk soon made
his appearance on the stand and was intro
duced by Mr.. John King, of Falkland. who

And rich indeed, It was, in everything
calculated to inspire hope for the future and
pride for the past and present history Of our
mother State; for in a speech Of about two
hours the speaker demonstrated the great
benefit the State had already derived from
the Department OF Agriculture, which is yet
IN its intan,y and showed too how much
more efficient it could be made, with nroner
aid and encouragement from those for whom
the Department was established-he told
how large sums had been saved on com
mercial fertilizers, and how the companies
that manipulated them raised their war
against both the Department and the neo-
pie, IN consequence thereof; and were At
last forced to hear the demands of their on
pressed and outraged patrons he referred
TO the startling fact that the amount Of

capital invested in fences in North Carolina
would pay the whole of our State debt three
times over, and that the mad devotion OF
our people to the canine race robs our state
of thousands of dollars of the best property
known to an agricultural country, showing
most plainly that one great need OF our
State was lawmakers sufficiently bold TO
throttle the dog and let the sheep go tree In
our land. He spoke of the vast and mex,
haustable natural resources ofthe State, and
insisted that all that was wanting to make us
the wonder of our sister States, is capital
and energy to lay hold and develop the
means a most beneficent Providence has
placed at our doors. It is needless to toll
low him In all the valuable hints the honor
able speaker gave for our consideration, but
| assure you that the eloquent appeal to our
sense of manhood and State pride Will not
soon be forgotten by those who heard HIM,
and his touching tribute to the memory OF
those who fell for their country 5 honor and
that of their native State since 1913, his
fattering commentator of the patience and
energy of the men of the present day, and
his matchless eulogy upon the courage,
modesty and purity of our ladies, proves hun
an earnest and a worthy son OF our native
State. Long may he live to fill the position
he now SO ably occupies, for North Carolina
is learning to believe that l.. l.. Polk Is the
the only man who could ~acceptably perform
the duties of his Office, and we willingly leave
the Department in his hands, not fearing
even the ASA ults of political wire pullers and
d~emagogues. ,. II.

How TO GET on IN THE WoRLD.-A bit
of advice to young men who are trying to
get on in the world. Never complain that
your employers are selfish. Not that they
are otherwise, but it will not do to growl
about it. They are selfish. Their employ
ers, when they were young, were no doubt
selfish, and from them they learned the les
son. You, too, learn it, and when you be-
come employers, you'll be selfish too. 1t is
from selfish motives men engage in trade,
and selhshness rules their actions. OF course
it would be better and wiser, and all of that,
If they We're not selfish, but they are.
Now, what are you going to do about it?
Why, make it for their selfish interest to do
better by you, and they will. Respect your
self and you will make them respect YOU.
Remember that you are at a disadvantage,
that there are a hundred ready to climb into
our place if you do not fill it, and those
who employ you are fully aware of the fact
and ready to make the most they can out of
It,. Remember that you are getting s 1000
this year and want 81, 500 next year, you've
got to earn 81 500 this year.
You We got to pay for promotion, often an
exhorbltant price, and as you have no other
means to pay with, you've got to pay in
work. OF course it is unjust, of course it
seems hard that your employer should keep
and spend money that you have justly earned.
but Causeur's word for it, it won't pay to
growl about it. Never be satisfied with hay
ing earned your money" Earn more
than your money, and then In a manly,
straightforward business like way, ask for
more pay. Ten chances to one you will get
it.
If you don't, look about, and as soon as
you have found a better place, discharge
your employer. The hard work that you
have done, the record of it, and the reputa-
ton you will have established for hard work.
will make the task of finding new employ
ment comparatively easy. Your capacity
for labor is YOU only capital. Invest heavily
and you are sure to win.

Stains in almost any colored silks can be

Buff or Ja~n colored muslins or calleoes

a Haunted Society.

Where Yankee would suspect a
practical joke, a Welshman stands in
awe of the supernatural. In Swansea
Valley there is friendly society among
whose rules is one that the funeral al
lowance ON account of a deceased MEM
Der shall not be paid in cases of suicide.
One of the members recently died by
his own hand, and the club accordingly
refused to pay the death money. The
members are now complaining that they
are subjected to serious persecution from
ghostly agent. The manifestations
began on a recent Sunday, when one of
the officers, returning home over lonely
road, was assailed by the spirit of the
late member, who failing to obtain a
satisfactory reply to his demand for the
money, actually tore his clothes to rib
bons." On the following Tuesday even
ing, while the members were assembled
in the lodge-room, the usual knocks were
heard at the door as of a brother seeking
admittance. The door was opened, but
no one was 60 be seen. The members,
however, are all very certain that they
heard the voice of The deceased utter the
words: "Pay my widow my funeral
money, and then / shall be at rest. +"
The meeting was broken up, the brothers
being unable to determine how they
should subject the deceased member to
discipline.

The /" Vibrator" Thresling Machine.

For upwards of forty years, Messrs.
NICHOLS, SHEPARD q Co., of Battle
Greek, Mich, have been prominent man
ufacturers of farm implements and ma
chlnery, steam engines, mill machinery,
etc., during which period their wares
have become well known and highly
valued throughout the country. Over
twenty years ago they made fortunate
hltby originating the celebrated 'Vibra-
tor" Thresher, machine which has so
rapidly gained favor with the farmers,
that from the manufacture of only ten the
first year, their sales now largely exceed
those OF any other thresher factory in the
world. And this popularity is founded upon
merit Tor the machine (Which is said TO be un-
doubtedly the original and only genuine '.Yi-
orator, } probably comprises all possible I'M
provements for threshing and separating grain
In the most expeditions and perfect manner
AS now offered to the public, the machine ia
the result of long and careful experimenting
by persons Of genius and skill, with the aid of
liberal expenditure, and hence it is not surpris-
ing that the "Vibrator" should far excel all
the old-fashioned threshers in every essential
requisite. Indeed, the great value and success
or the vibrator which long ago achieved
national reputation-renders it worthy the
attention of all grain and seed growers and

Notwithstanding which its firm friends
Fought fierce foes-the signal triumph Of this
machine Is notable instance of the SURVIVAL

Tying to the manufacturers as it is beneficial
to the farming community. The vibrator"
Is confidently claimed to be "the head and
front OF the thresher family" and to possess
and combine such qualities that it saves all the
gram ana cleans perfectly, makes no waste or
llttering, threshes flax, timothy and all seeds,
has no heaters, pickers or raddles, is perfect
IN wet grain; simple, light-running, durable,
easily kept in order, and is always reliable. A
machine which does all this must surely pos
sess such intrinsic merit as to challenge COM
petition. The Mounted Horse Powers and
Steam Thresher Engines which Messrs. NIcH-
OILS. SHEPARD u Co. manufacture at their cele-
brated Agricultural Works, have also acquired
high reputation, and are worthy of COM
mendation TO all interested. These of our
readers desiring specific information in regard

manufacturers, as above, for illustrated
