Per Vine.

d. Hunt the Raleigh correspondent
OF the Goldsboro Messenger, gets off a
imaginary "interview" between Jesse
Holmes, the imaginary "fool-killer," and
an imaginary Governor. We quote a bit
Jesse Holmes Don't you think this
Swepson trial business is slightly inserted
in the soil?.
His Excellency.-I am afraid it is begin
ming to drag a little, 20 say the least, but !
did not begin it, and it is not my province
to stop it.
J. H.-Don't you think that honest old
Quaker in the Treasury Department could
make things a little wholesome if he were
charged with the regulation of the fees of
counsel employed by the State in such
cases, made and provided"!
H.. E.-He might, and | should have no
objection if he did.
J. H.-Swcpson seems to have throwed
'em again in Judge Avery's court.
H. Eyes, it appears to be impossible
to do anything with Swepson and Little
field in the courts. Our legal nets do well
enough for minnows and reaches, but
horse-fish and jocks go through.
}. H.-Tbey say Rollins has got loose now
at Asheville.
ii. E.-Such is the report. The matter
is in the hands of the Board Of Directors
of the road, and they ought to know what
they are doing.
J. H.-Governor, you know we are a
plain spoken people up in the Dan river
country. We always mean what we say,
and we don't go whacking about the bush
es. Come now, haven't you got some smart
Alexis on that board !
Ii. E.-Wcll, they ont appear to be
smart enough for Rollins and his law
yers.
J. H.-Haye you seen the awful cartoon
the Asheville .Jomua1 gets off on you, Judge
Graves, Rollins ard your Director for the
State at large?
H. NO. Is it a good one
J. H.-Good amt no name for 1t. But
some people may think it a good thing, and
vet not like it much. By the way where Is
Littlefield?
H. En- Florida.
J. H.-Shall you try again?
II. E-The judiciary out there Is ex-
hausted.
J.. H.-The Executive here is about ex-
hausted. too, is it not?
H. E.--Well, it's had a pretty hard strain
on it. Governor Caldwell began to issue
reouisitions for Littleield early IN 1871;
Broeden and Vance followed, and then |
took hold. [ sdnt a Chief of Police and a
great tall grenadier. They came bacg with
empty ha1dcufs; and | then sent a lawyer.

THE 1NTER-OCEANIc CASAL.-It is said
the scheme for a ship canal across Central
America is about to be carried out BY a big
company with Grant as President, or Head
Boss. DR.. r. H. Gibbon, of Charlotte,
writing some time ago, said :
THAT the name canal is freely bes-
towed by Spaniards and Indians on very
slight means of water communication be-
tween the head waters of rivers in Central
America during the rainy season. Several
years ago two Americans journeyed up the
River Buena Nentura from the Bay of Chico.
Each had a mules load of baggage, which,
together with the travellers, was placed in a
barge, or rather dug-out canoe, propelled by
paddles. Ashley assembled the river became
shallower, and the craft was exchanged for
two canoes of a smaller size. These were
forced against the current by the Indian
boatmen by means of poles. Nearing the
mountainsf still smaller canoes were brought
into requisition-one for a passenger and
another for his baggage.

for the mass Of the farmers, and all classes
OF workingmen, whose servants the salaried
officials are, though some of them seem
hardly aware Of it.
As for our criticisms upon the Depart

sincerity and real desire for more effective
work. Col. Polk, Prof. Kerr, Gov. Vance.
Capt. Alexander, and other members of last

bear us out in saying that the defects hither-

THE DEATH Birth speaking of Bow
man, the ~wife-poisoner, who was hung at
ASHFORD last Friday, the Charlotte OJsever
the chrin of evidence that bound the wife
murderer, was forgotten in the haste of
writing. 1t was proved on the trial that Mrs.
Bowman had said more than once to a
neighbor that if her husband ever poisoned
her she would put a mark on him, by a bite
or otherwise, that would hang him. 1t was
further in evidence that on the day she died,
a neighbor at the house asked Bowman
what had been her symptoms. He described
these and said, among other things, that
lust before her death, and while struggling
in the ~agonies of dissolution, size had caught
him around the neck, held him fast and
tried to bite him in the face. The prosecu-
ton made good use of this point.

SToLED.-ATLANTA, GA, August %,
1S79.-A mysterious abduction is reported
from Ebert county, in the upper part of
this State. Mrs. BROKER Puliian. a hand
some widow of the highest responsibility,
was found last Tuesday to be missing from
home in the country. She had one little
daughter, her who says that late at night
some one knocked at the door of their house.
Mrs. Pullian refused to open it, when the
outsider Knocked the door down and entered
the room. Only one person entered, but
there were others outside. This person
stated he was a revenue officer, and ordered
Mrs. Pullian to get up and dress. She was
then pulled from the bed and made to dress
in the dark, not being allowed to make a
light. She was taken off and has not been
seen or heard of since. OF course the
greatest excitement prevails. and searching
parties are at work, but no trace has been
found. Mrs. Pullian was well off and a
model of robust, rosy widowhood. The
revenue officers here say that no revenue
officer had any authority to make such ar
rest, and if it had been done the lady would
have been brought here. They have ordered
an investigation.
Loter.-No traces of her have been found.
