The sudden and marked rise in the price
Of printing paper has induced the proposal
Of numerous schemes for relief, and among
them is . bill in the house, introduced BY
Nj. Wood, for the removal of duty upon
smatefialss used in the manufacture of paper.
The press generally sustaiEs this measure and
agreat many petitions are being forwarded
to congress asking for the passage of the
bill. The rise 10 paper lie due to some
other cause than the duty placed upon the
material and the manufactured article itself.
though the removal Of that duty would
open the way to foreign competition aud
thus cut down the price to some extent.
Paper makers allege that the cause of the
rise is the scarcity Of rags, but they have
become so suddenly scarce is inexplicable.
Within the past few months. paper has gone
up about fifty per cent and is not easy to
obtain even at the advance. The general
revival of business has produced an lncreas.
ed demand and manufacturers have taken
advantage Of this to increase prices. They
are reaping the harvest at the expense of
the printers of the land, for the latter can.
not vel! advance beyond established rates
without loss 10 circulation or shrlakage in
the volume of coordinate business. There.
fore the proposition to admit paper duty
free strikes them favorably. while it will be
strongly opposed by manufacturers.

Alexander H. Stephens, having taken {
manly stand in opposition to house rule
twenty.one, which permits legislation for.
eign to the suhjectto be fastened upon ap.
preparation biils, the democratic side of the
house rose in it's wrath and attempted to st
down on the little statesman. The republi.
cansyrallied to his support and BY shrewd
parliamentary practice succeeded in &C.
curing for bin the right to the floor. Mr..
Stephens then gave his political brethren
an hours talk, which was contemptuously
received because there was no other way for
them to get around the truths to which he
gave %utterance. The report on the subject
Of his speech runs as follows:
Mr.. Stephens, after expressing his obliga-
tions to the house and to the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Conger), said that it was not
his purpose to speak Of the history of the
democratic or whig party, although his at
-tachment to, the party was n strong Is that
Of any man In the house. He had been
reared in the Jeffersoniau school Of democ.
racy. In 1t he had lived and breathed and
had his being, and in it he should die. Com
ing to the .mendnent offered By the gentle.
man from Ohio Mr. Warnerl, he declared
that there jwassa great principle involved in
it Whether it was adopted or rejected,
neither party would be vorsted. He
was opposed to the, twenty-6st rule indi-
vidually. Why? Because he did not
believe that, according to the democratic
doctrine of Jefferson, Madispn and Jack
son, it was ever intended that appropriation
bills should be encountered With any other
legislation than appropriations. II there
had been any progress in legislation in this
country, it had been in excluding from ap.
ppopriatiop bills other matters Is riders.
Tie sentlSman from Ohio (Mr.. Hurd) had
said the other day that it was democratic
doctrine to seek redress Of grievances BY
Withholding appropriations. He (Mr. Ste
phens) Fepndisted that proposition toto eoelo.
That had never been democratic doctrine /;
il was monarchical doctrine. The redress
Of grievance in this country was, frst, BY
petition to the legislative body; next to the
judiciary, and next to the ballot box. Under
The constitution the executive had the same

A Remarkable Deer story.

Mr.. James Scruggs relates the fol-
lowing with good JUNCTION: In the year
1925, his father, in company with
Lewis Upshaw, Thomas Howard,
John Upshaw and others, went deer
hunting in the region of country
around Aspen Hill, at a place called
Sugar Tree Ford. Mr.. John Upshaw
was placed upon the stand, and in a
very short space of time the dri yers
sent up seven beautiful specimens of
the game, all in a bunch. Mr.. Up
shaw took deliberate aim and fired at
the whole lot. When the smoke
cleared away he discovered that he
had killed FIVE and wounded the re-
naming two. This remarkable feat is
well authenticated by Mr.. James
Scruggs. who was boy at the time.
The gun which rendered such good SER
vice on the occasion is now in the pos
session of Mr.. William Scruggs and is
used by his little son in hunting squir-
rels. Can any of the surviving Nimro1s
of the olden time tell a story that will
beat this ?-Putdski Citizen.
Pshaw, we don't believe the fish
tale now.

WILMINGTON, August "A New
York World correspondent called on
Senator Bayardat his office, in this city,
to-day, to ask his opinion of General
Hancock's letter to General Sherman,
printed in yesterdays World. The
correspondent found the senator so
we'll pleased with the letter that de-
spite his chronic objection 70 the inter-
view as Il method of eliciting the opin-
ions of public men, he talked freely
about the matter. Mr.. Bayard said
that the first thing to be noted in the
letter was the quiet ant, Unconscious
force of character displayed in it.
Letters" he said, written with an
object are like all prearranged affairs,
open to the suspicion that some things
are deliberately suppressed and other
things made unduly emphatic. This
letter exhibits Hancock the patriot
and soldier writing out his unpremed
itated views upon a grave political cri-
sis. The letter was called out by re-
peatediletters from his imilitary supe-
rior. He did not originate the cor>
respondence, as the opening sentences
show. TO appreciate its full force
and meaning you must have seen and
known as | did what was then going
on liz Washington and at the war de-
partment. Troops even then, under

and South Carolina had suffered the
same fate, and the work only remain
ed to be cOnsummated at Washington
in February by repetition on na-
tiOnal scale of the,,frauds committed in
New Orleans and elsewhere in Novem-

Father Curci, a Roman Catholic
priest, living in Rome, who has recen :
Iy published a new translation Of the
gospels, with the consent of the Pope,
makes the following astounding state>
ment. 1t is almost incredible, and
would hardly be believed by any per-
son of limited general information on
any less indubitable authority.
Nevertheless, it is useless 70 dis
simulate the matter. Also IN this
respect what is, is in direct opposition
to what ought to be- the case. The
ordinary practice is diametrically op.
posed to that which ought to be our
conduct. For the New Testament is
the book Of all Others the least studied
and least read among US. So much
so that the bulk of the laity-even of
those who believe they have been
instructed, and profess Religions not
aware that such book exists in the
world; and the greater part of the
clergy themselves scarcely know more
of it than what they are compelled to
read in the Breviary and the Missal." 3"

could not have written Hancock's No.
40, not because | pretend to be dumb
or altogether unskilled in the use of
English words, but because if | had
undertaken to write it the chances are
ninety>nine in hundred that my ar
gumentation would have marred its
majestic simplicity and greatly di>
minish its power. When public
man, especially a military man, meets
Il grave responsibility, saying no more
nor less than just the thing he ought,
but saying thatwith unequivOcal clear
ness, you may be sure he is the inter-
prefer of his own thoughts. AT any
rate the attempt is unjust to bastar>
die No. 40 by assigning to it an Ori>
gin totally different from the true one.
Why should my opinion be asked
OF volunteered on Gen. Hancock as a
civilian? Anybody who has watched
his life is as good a judge as |, and
there are thousands who know him
much better. But since the question
is prOpOunded | will answer, subject
to fair correction, that he has in him
the highest and best qualities Of re-
publican ruler. l think his fidelity
to sound principles, coupled with his
sound judgment, Will entitle him to
rank well with the great presidents of
former times. do not compare him
with Washington, tor the grandeur of
that character is and will remain for
ever unapproachable, but l do say
that Washington, if placed in his sit
uation would haze acted precisely as
he did. His patriotism has not the
impul>ive ardor Of Jackson's; but his
fidelity to the truth, his love of justice
and his scorn of wrong, are quite as
unmista kable. He is not a doctrin-
aire like jefferson, for his busy life has
left him 10 time to study the abstract
philosophy Of politics, but his practical
good sense knows the right intuitively
and always catches the nearest way to
do it. If he be elected, the ability of
his administration will inspire univer-
sal respect, and his moderation and
magnanimity will conciliate even his
enemies. l have the fullest faith that
he will not only keep his oath to pre-
serve. protect and defend the constitu-
ton, hut will so carry out its provis-
ions that the great object of its franz
ers as expressed in the preamble will
be fully accomplished-"TO form a
more perfect Union, to establish JUS
tice, to insure domestic tranquility, to
provide for the common defense, to
promote the general welfare and to
secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our pOsterity."
