North Carolina Hospitality

A gentleman of this city, lawyer.
who had occasion to make u recent trip
into an adjoining county, was very much
impressed with the Astounding hospital
ity of the farmers. He said to us that
he believed the farmers of North Caro-
lima are the most hospitable people in
all this land. Our reply was that we
could take buggy and horse at Eliza
beth City and travel to, Stokes county
without paying dime for lodging or
midday meals, and offer to pay each
day. We do not know how it is in other
States, but we do know that the hospi-
tality of the North Carolinians living
in the country is unstinted and gener-
Gus. We hope the time will never come
when the hospitality that has always
distinguished the people of North Caro-
lima will become less Astounding and
generous. We do not care for the "ele-
giant hospitality of which people boast
so much, as we do for hearty, spontan-
eous, warm hospitality that welcomes
the coming guest. Wilmington, N. c.,

A Chinese Murder Case,

A horrible story is told in recent
number of the Peiin Gazette. There
was young man of so bad disposition
that his father compelled him to te'a-chtd
(set up separate establishment. One
day the old man came to his sons house
intending to pawn one of the young
mans coats to gamble with. The son
refused, Directing also to give him apair
of stockings he had asked for, On this
the father threatened to complain to the
antn6~ities of the sons unfilial conduct,
and marched ,-,F for that purpose. the
son followed him, arn.e'' Win jar,
with which he hit his parent over 'H
head. The old man retaliated with
bill-hook, but was soon overpowered
and killed. The son then stripped the
corpse, and, rolling the blood-stained
clothes up into a bundle. took them
home and hid them under the floor of
his room. The corpse being found, it
was supposed that the old man had been
murdered, and the affair passed off; but
one day the murderer got drunk, and
told his wife the whole story. The wo-
man, fearing that discovery might lead
to her being implicated, accused her
husband to the authorities, and he is
now sentenced to undergo the ''slow
and ignominious'' process of being grad
ually cut in pieces,

Telling Tales Out of School,

Among the arrivals of immigrants at
Castle Garden recently were a number
of manufacturers of English jams and
preserves. Speaking of the extent to
which adulteration of food is carried on
in the old country, one of them said:
''People are ignorant how so-called
family preserves are made. 1t is no I'M
usual thing for INSCRIPTIONS manufac-
turers to make them from all kinds of
faded fruits and decomposed vegetables.
More than one-half of the RASPBERRY"
jam made in England is from decayed
figs, which are boiled down with sugar
and little essence and other chemicals
added. The pip of the figs represent
those of the raspberry, so the fraud is
scarcely apparent" 1t is to be hoped
that in this country, where fruit is usually
so abundant and cheap, the ways ex-
posed by these English immigrants will
have no imitators.a

Keeping Food for Months,

The more people reflect on Prof.
Barff's discovery that by heating boraic
acid with glycerine a compound was OBJ
tanned which keepsfood perfectly sound
and sweet for <nonths. the greater will
be their conception of the revolutionary
character of boroglyceride. To begin
with, the vast refrigerating vaults which
have been constructed at Victoria docks,
in which A, 800 ''muttons' can be stored
at one time, viii be rendered useless
and the demand for refrioerators will
suddenly cease. That, however, is one
of the most trifing of the consequences
of Prof. Barff's discovery. A sultry day
will no longer be able to spoil ''the har-
vest of the sea-" and London and all the
inland towns will for the first time be
able to enjoy constant supply of cheap
fresh fish. The revolution will fall
heaviest on farmers. Mutton is PEN
ny pound in New South Wales, and
beef three half-pence pound in Texas.
If Devonshire cream can be delivered in
Zanzibar as fresh as when it left the
English dairy, the one great element
which has hitherto favored the British
agriculturist in his struggle against for
eign competition will disappear. Rents
will fall once more, and the reluctance
of the Irish tenant to purchase his hold
ing will be greater than ever. Prof.
Barff may yet figure in history as the
revolutionist who administered the coup
de grace to the ancient landed system
of Great Britain.

Making Flour BIZ ELECTRICITY.

Flour was formerly made by simply
grinding wheat at one operation to the
finest possible flour, and then separat-
ing by sleeves the flour from the bran,
necessarily grinding in much of the bran
with the flour and discoloring it, while
much of the very best material was sep
arated with the bran and lost. The
later common method is to grind very
coarsely the wheat several times, using
strong blasts of air between each grind
ing to separate the bran from the gran
ulated interior portion, and at last
crush it to flour, relieved of all the bran.
The new electric method consists in
passing the middlings under revolving
hard-rubber cylinders, electrified by con-
tact with sheepskin. The particles of
bran fly up to meet the rubber, from
which they are turned off in a side chan
mel, the purified middling, freed from
bran, passing through rollers to become
fine -four.

A Reckless Government.

When Lee invaded Pennsylvania hay
was SIT per ton around Chambersburg.
One day a confederate forage-master
drove out into the country with his wag-
ons. and hating at farmhouse, he
asked if they had any hay to sell.
Il might spare two or three TONS"
replied the farmer.
.tWhat is it worth?"
"Wal, being you are enemies to the
government, shall have to charge you
$40 a TOM
..All right, I'll take all you can
spare" said the officers, and he loaded
up and then made out his receipt and
an order on the rebel quartermaster-
general for the money.
1t was only after the farming had dis
covered that he could get nothing that
he explained:
Il don't keer so much for the loss of
hay, but it aggravates me to remember
how mighty reckless them rebs was
when tucked on 50 ton. They didn't
even ask me to split the difference. y

Did Not Do It.

The Yankees have the reputation of
being shrewd and unscupulous in a
bargain. and we hear a good deal of
Connecticut nutmegs and hams But
one thing is certain, whether Yankees
are given to cheating or not, it Is very
hard for a rascal to turn the tables and
cheat Yankee. This was amusingly
illustrated the other day on one of the
Boston horse ears. The car was crowd
ed on the rear platform, when large
man offering half-dollar TO the con-
ductor, cried out
Il want to pay the fare for myself
and for man on the front platform;
you'll see him-a large man in an I'LL

and after q moments hesitation, he
passed out the bill.
The conductor felt satisfied that the
fellow had intended to pass his counter
felt half-dollar and was now ashamed
to back out, so he determined to punish
him, so far as he was able.
Slowly, very slowly, as the car rolled
on past street after street, he plunged
his hand into his pocket and brought up
the coppers and nickels, and began to
count them into the mans hand
Five cents, one is six, two is eight,
two makes ten. Hold on a minute, till
l get some more-ten makes twenty,
one makes twenty-one."
Hurry up. hurry up!' cried the fell
low; you're taking me clear up town.

Five makes twenty-six," continued
the conductor, mercilessly. AT last the
four dollars and ninety-four cents was
counted out, and the man who was in a
hurry got off with his pockets bullying
out with coppers.
The conductor went to the front plat
form. The driver was alone.
"Any big man with an ulster been on

A Thorougb .Ioh.


Judge M, well-knowr jurist liv-
ing near Cincinnati. was fond of relat-
ing this anecdote: He once had occasion
to send to the village for carpenter,
and sturdy young fellow appeared
with his tools.
II want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some anplaned
boards-use them. 1t is out OF sight OF
the house, SO you need not take time to
make it a neat job; will only pay 81 80.
The Judge went to dinner, and coming
out, found the man planning each board.
Surprising that he was trying to make a
costly job of it, he ordered him to nail
them on at once, Just as they were, and
continued his walk. When he returned,
the boards were planned and numbered
ready for mailing.
II told you this fence was to be COW
cred with vines" he said angrily. Il
do not care how it looks
II do" said the carpenter, gruffly,
carefully measuring his work. When it
was done there was no part of the fence
as thorough in finish.
How much do you charger" asked
the Judge.
"a dollar and half" said the man,
shouldering his TOOLS
The Judge stared ..Why did you
spend ell that labor on the job, if not for
money!"
'For the job, SIR
Nobody would have seen the poor
work on it,
'.But l should have known it was
there. No, I'll take only the $3.50. y
And he took it and went away.
Ten years afterwards the Judge had
the contract to give for the building of
certain magnificent public buildings
There were many applicants among
master builders, but the face of one
caught his eye.
1T was my man of the fence" he
said. Il knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. l gave
him the contract and made rich man
of him."

The Threa Gold Daxs Of Anil.

Few weather phenomenal in this coun-
try are more remarkable, and seem at
present less easily explained, than the
borrowing days." as they are called,
between the 10th and 14th of April, when
usually the temperature falls considera-
bly, below that due to the time of year.
The cold at this time is, at any rate,suf-
ficiently marked-first to have attracted
long since general attention; and, sec
ondly, to affect in a very obvious man.
ner the average temperature for these
days during the last eighty years. We
find these three cold days of April,
which, before the change of style. were
the first three days of the month, thus
described in doggerel lines in the north
of England:
March borrows from April
Three days, and they are i'll:
The first of them is wan and weet,
The second it is shaw and sleet,
The third of them is a peel-a-bane,
And freezes the wee birds neb lac stane.
The following lines are given in the
GLOSSARY of Scotch Words and
Phrases"
Said March to April,
Gle me three hOggS upon yOn hill;
And in the space of days three
I'll find a way to gar them die.
The first a bitter blast did baw,
The second it was sleet and shaw,
The third il cam sac full freeze
The birds nebs they stack to the trees;
But when the days was past and game
The three puir hoggs cam hirplin hame.
This is manifestly an imperfect ver-
sion of the lines in the poem called the
Complaint of Scotland,' where the
borrowing of three April days is much
clearer Tin the above account March
borrowed hogs not days.:
March said to Aperill
see three hogs upon bid;
But tend your first three days to me,
And III be bound to gar them dee.
The first it shall be wind and weet,
The next it shall be shaw and sleet,
The third it shall be sic freeze,
Shall gar the birds stick to the trees,
But when the borrowed days were game,
The three silly hogs cam hirplin hame.
This is, / believe, the oldest version
of the doggerel. 1t belongs to time
when the three cold days of April really
were the first three days of April. The
other was modified to correspond with
the new style, according to which the
cold days fall in the heart.of the month,
and can not be very well imagined to
be borrowed from March. 1t is worthy
of observation how correctly common
observation has indicated the true posi-
ton of these cold days, for in the tenn
perature curve derived from three-quar-
tiers of century of accurate observation

fore the change of style were the 1st,
