A great many people who believe,

of future state, have been perfect
ly satisfied TO take the conditions
and accommodations Of bliss on sim
pie faith. The preachers Of life ever
lasting have generally been content
to leave the degrees and successive
elevations of The happy hereafter
pretty much to the good Christian
Imagination, and thus work up indi-
-vidual interest. But a Vermont
clergyman recently rent the veil Oh,
the Christians future state IN twain
and revealed hehitherto IInpenetra-
bic mystery in the following words:
After crossing the mystic river, we shall
go on from the man TO the angel, from the
angel TO the archangel. from the arcban-
gel TO the celestial, from the celestial 10
the divine, and then, gathering the stars
in clusters about our heads, dream, out.
the endless dream 4 eternity.
Thus the treasures Of Imagination
are robbed by the exhaustive reyela-
ton, and nothing is left for hope TO
feed on. You cross the semystie

North Carolina has two rival gil

I North Carol1na mas TWO rival gu
ants, Preston Holloway and Andy
Walker. Halloway's height is seven
feet nine inches, and his weight $50
pounds. Walkers altitude is seven
feet nine inches and a hall, and his
avoirdupois 500 younds. The old
North State was not big enough to
hold them in peace, and each was
anxious to ascertain who. was the
boss giant. They were making. a
merry night of it in bar-room in
Charlotte with friends, and Walker,
the taller, was the more anxious of
the two to settle the question. Hal
loway, the heavier, yielded to, the
general desire, and there was bat
tie of the giants. Walker was knock
ed down by his antagonist twice, and
said ne had enough. He had SO far
to fall that two violent descents
were as many as he could stand up
for, and Holloway was declared the
champion giant. Holloway, and
Walker are doubtless the biggest
men who ever came together In a
match of fisticnfis, and North Caro-
lima has the honor. -

Boerland Beauties.

Such even of the bellies, says Al
the Year Round, as have had their
manners polished and theirminds en-
larged by travel in Natal and visit
to the "city" (namely, Maritzburg),
seem to fling aside the embarrassing
trappings of civilization when they
return to the parental roof. Not
that would be understood to hint
that the Boer maidens could be gull
ty Of such an improperly in its most
literal sense; far from it. Beneath
the orange trees and blue gums of
the paternal residence the lovely la
dies continue to bloom in all the bril-
liant hues of the most glaring red
Manchester can produce. BY the
side of bevy of young Decreases a
tulip-bed is dingy indeed, and even
red and yellow peoples would have
enough to do to hold their own
against the. masses of color with
which these coy damsels love to
decorate themselves. None of your
neutral tints or paltry touches of
color here and there for your gen
uine Dutch Boeress nothing but
the brightest scarlet or orange will
serve her turn, and good solid mass
of it, too. A fine stout calico dress
of strong pink or blue, with a bon
net i'll the complimentary hues of
green and orange, form one of those
neat and harmonious toilettes which
make party of Boer girls vision
of startling splendor to the sober
Britisher. :.t.ff "a.
This style of dress has the advan-
tage, moreover, of enabling the
wearer to be visible almost as far as
the flash of the heliograph, until she
is actually-if one may use the ex-
pression-hull down on the horizon.
1t is fortunate for these ladies that,
considering the not very chastened
character of their taste in dress, ma
ture has endowed them with a bril-
liancy and purity of complexion
which not even the forcible coloring
of their raiment can avail to kill.
The pure red and white of their
round cheeks, and dazzling fairness
of their Threats, surpass even the
famed complexion of England, and
are only retained by the strictest
care on the part of their buxom
owners. The thickest of wells and
the most nun-like of forehead and
chin-bands are worn whenever there
is the slightest chance of exposure to
the outer air, and as for the sun, he
is never allowed to imprint even the
most fugitive kiss on the blooming
cheeks of the bellies of .Boerland. On
the occasions of the periodical visits
to the towns to attend the 'fNacht
mahl," or sacrament of their church,
the groups ofveiled beauties peering
from the wagons give the Boer the
aspect of a Turk travelling with his
harem. Nor, by all accounts, was
the engaging naiyete of these houris
calculated to inspire aught save ter
rOr to the British breast.

GRACEFITI, WOMEN

None receive so much benefit, and none
are so profoundly grateful and show such
an interest in recommending Hop Bitters
as women. 1t is the only remedy peculi-
arly adapted to the many ills the sex Is al
most universally subject to. Chills and
fever, indigestion or deranged liver, con-
slant or periodical sick headaches, weak
ness in the back or kidneys, pain in the
shoulders and different parts Of the body,
a feeling of lassitude and despondency, are
all readily removed by these Bitters.

Philips, who was arrested down at

murder, formerly lived in this city. While
here he bore good character, and save
an occasional spree, conducted himself
we'll He is charged with the murder of
Emily Parker. her daughter, Emma Sim
mons and child, Sherwood Simmons. The
Express says:
1.-THE finger of suspicion points very
strongly toward the herder, Phillips. He
was one who was cognizant of all the
facts he knew of the whereabouts of the
razor and the money. but showed no evil
dence of having committed a bloody
crime. One circumstance, however, that
is against him, is the fact that when ar
rested he had on white shirt, and those
who had seen him had noticed him wear
ing q colored shirt, and no other SHIRT but
the one he was wearing could be found
in his possession"
Phillips stoutly protests thathe is entire
ly innocent of the crime, which was one
of the most horrible that ever occurred
in this state. Those who were acquainted
with Phillips in this city, are inclined to
believe that he is innocent of the charge.
