Approaching the great and pressing

of Raleigh, St. Johns Guild has made
arrangements by which a quantity of
good, nutritious soup will be issued free

A brilliant correspondent of the Put

little for agricultural matters, suggests
the following themes for discussion bv

do not cows sit down to rest as dogs7

times before he lies down! Why does a
COW get up f:om the ground hind end
first, and a horse fore end first7 Why
does a squirrel come down a tree

How Long May a Man 1.-Two.

to man, and skipping the paIfiarcns,
we find recorded Instances OF longevity
among the classic Greeks and Romans.
Pliny notes that in the reign OF the
Emperor Vespaisan, in the year 20,
there were ia men living IN the limited
area between the Apprentices and the

whom were l40 and l35. Cicero 5
wife lived the age of $50, and the Ro-
man actress Luccia played ID the pub
lie as late as her Il2th year.
Coming down to more recent times
the most notable authentic instance OF
great age is that of Henry jenkins, OF
Yorkshire, England who died in 1870,
l69 years old. He was a fisherman,
and at the age of 100 easily SWAIN across
rapid rivers. Another historic case is
that of Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, a
day laborer, who lived to the age Of
I52 years. When more than 40 he mar
ried his second wife, and still at $50 he
could swing ~the..scythe, WELD the HAIL
with the fellow laborers. In his l52 year
Parr went up to London to exhibit him

Thirty Five Millions Emptied In
to their Laps Every Year.

Careful Investigations by the Scifn-
tiic Americon show that more than
t~hirty-fve millions of dollars were
brought into the United States last
year by foreign immigrants. Think If
these figures They are enormous.
But they are only a fraction of the real
amount for, Of course, the value Of
any bona fde settler is not to be meas
ured by the money in his pocket. H s
labor, his skill, his Intelligence, al
must be counted. In former times we
valued a negro according to the state of
his health, his muscles, his activity,
etc. An aged slave was Of little value
compared with one at maturity. A
mere field hand would sell for $1,000;
but a good mechanic Was valued at
81, 500, or more.
Now, the Statistical Bureau estimates
the Immigrants during 1879 I'VE have
no report for 1880 as follows: Males
between Is and ~ years of age, 46 per
cent; males over 40. I per Cent; males
under Is, 10 per cent; females over Is.
% per cent; females under Is. 9 per
cent. Making a low estimate of the
number OF years that each of The above
classes will be available for work, and IA
fair estimate II the wealth produrinr
power of the several classes, our al
thority strikes the average oil 81, 900 aa
The money value of each Immigrant IN
landing, irrespective of his worldly rc =
sessions. This gives the sum of $500,
900, Geo as the amount Of wealth added
to the country by immigration during
that year, a footing which is corrobo
rated by the estimate of the Bureau Of
Statistics as to the growth Of capital
through immigration during the fifty
years prior to 1871, which places the
amount at $l25, 600, 600 annually, dur
ing a period when the quality of the
immigrants was much below the pres
ent standard.
Reflect on these things. oh, men of
North Carolina, aud resolve to have
some share 10 this inflowing stream OF
wealth Think how eat a State we
should possess if We had people enough
to fill its empty corners, and bring to
light its hidden treasures Who will

INHERITED TENDENCIES To DISEASE.
DR.. j. r. Black, in The Popular
Scisnce Monthly, says: Seventy thous-
and persons in America yearly die
with consumption, most of whom have
inherited the disease. Vast numbers
inherit a tendency to rheumatism. cpl,
lepsy, insanity, cancer, indigestion
nigraine, neuralgia, asthma, and to
early loss of sight and hearing. No
other cause of grief and suffering com
pares with that due to organic defects
handed down from parent to child.
or our 40, c0O, GOO of people probably
90, 900, 600 inherit some constitutional
defect. But hitherto little has been
done to arrest these tendencies. Phy
sicians are called only to the sick. On
the contrary those who have Inherited
tendencies to disease are generally as
careless of their health as Others, while
in the case Of those who already show
the tendency, their friends are apt to
pursue just the course most likely to
strengthen it. For instance, a cor
sumptive is shut out from the out door
air and gentle exercise, though these
are his only hope. Moreover, the
whole influence of our social life and
practices encourages the thoughtless
sq0andering of vital reserve.
As a consequence We are ~degenera-
ting as a people. The death-rats and
b%irth-rate are steadily approximating.
The difference is already less iu New
England than in any country of Europe
France alone excepted. Yet there is
no Inherent difficulty in the way of sx-
tirpating hereditary diseases. Hygen-
&c care would accomplish it
such cara as can only come from a
medical expert, and such as we are all
ready to resort to in acute diseases.
Able physicians have thus been able to
e1tirpate tubersular consumption from
themselves their families and descen-
dants.

THE death of Matthew H. Carpenter,
United States Senator from Wisconsin,
which occurred in Washington on yes
terday week, removes from the Senate
one Of the ablest and certainly the most
brilliant OF it's members. He was fifty
six years old and started in life as poor
boy, the son or obscure parents in Moore
town, Vermont, Having been adopted
IN the twelfth year OF his age by the
then Governor OF that State, whose
daughter he afterwards married, young
Carpenter when he was twenty years old
entered the law Office Of the distinguish
ed Rufus ChOate, in Boston, and after
having been admitted to the bar settled
in Milwaukee, where in a few years he
became as an orator to the Northwest,
what Rufus Choate was to New Eng
land. It is unnecessary to speak Of his
career IN the Senate. He appeared be-
fore the Electoral Commission in 1877,
mot, as he said. ''for Samuel ]. Til
den, but for ten thousand legal voters of
the State Of Louisiana, who, without
accusation or proof, indictment or trial,
notice OF hearing, have been disfran-
chised by four villains incorporated sin
perpetual succession, whose official title
is the Returning Board of Louisiana. "
Mr.. Carpenters faults were many, but
he never attempted to conceal them, as
so many public men do, behind the mask
Of hypocrisy. The vacancy caused by
bis death cannot be filed by the Wiscon-
sin Legislature, under the act of Con-
gress regulating the election of Senators,
until the 9th OF March, next Wednss-
day which, owing TO the nearly equal
strength of parties in the Senate, will
give the Democrats the power of organ
izing that body to-day by electing its Of
fcers as well as the standing committees.
