urke Letter.

q promir ent Raleigh lawyer recently
SAID 10 your cO~rrosoonient that he had
an extensive acquaintance In many caun-
tle> OF Tins State. but he was Of the opin-
ION that Burke had more odd characters
tnan any. other he knew. ] I'm f the
same opinion. Recently one Mr.. Powell.
whose only 'horse-beast" was Of the
Drawing species, rode him off Tor a Jug
OF liquor. As he returned home the
Aforesaid jack rubbed up agsinst a tree.
or"ke Powells jug threw him IF and
marched directly home. As he moved
on, lowell remarked. "old Teller, d n
Sod' II ut YOU" and he did git him."
for a. Q as he got home he took a
shot gun and gave the jack the benefit
OF two loads from, which he died.
"A lew years ago an old fellow who |
VIII snot mention by name, was on his
death bed, giving expression to some in
coherent remarks, which none of the
family seemed able to interpret. They
were poor people and the most valuable
piece OF property the old man owned was
a gray mare. Each member Of the ann
lily tired To interpret lis dying words; but
to no effect, til! his youngest son came
to the rescue and interpreted a. follows.
After putting his ear close to the old
mans mouth he said: Pap says the
bureau and bedstead belongs to sister
Mary. lie says the things in the kitchen
and the chairs and dishes belong to SIS
ter Sallie. He says the spotted sow and
pigs belong to brother. He now says
the gray mare belongs to me-" the prop
erty was divided accordingly.
Another old Teller in Burke, noted for
his laziness, had a crop of blackberries
on his farm. A peighbor went to his
house one day and asked permission TO
gather a few of his berries. lie replied:
You can get some this time but no
more If you warn so darned lazy you
would have a blackberry patch Of your
own The neighbor wilted. but got
his ~blackberries as If nothing had been
said.
Burke has all sorts OF characters and
some real good wits among them. As a
rule her men are thrifty, industrious and
enterprising. Vance says. and correctly,
that Burke has the best buttermilk,
the ~crookedest roads and the best and
prettlest women in the Sta e." While
these things are tire, she has her dudes
and some ofihe most polished, accom-
plished and encycl pediacal liars in the
5 ate. They scorn q petty lie. but glory
in the grand and lprdiy style. They
Scorn a mean action as much as a mean
lie.
There has !been a very marked i'm
provement in our agricultural ways in
the past few years.
There is very little talk of politics.
The Burke folks would be delighted to
vote for j. G. Mills for Congress Cor
respondence Of the Landmarks.

....A most magnificent book is Les
phases illustrated Niagara just IS
sued b, r. L~espinasse, 81 Clark Street,
Chicago. 1t is a masterpiece OF complla-
ton. and oftypographic and photographic
art, embracing some four hundred pages,
nearly eighteen inches square. Ii con-
tains an exquisite engraving OF nearly
every famous drawing, etching and pain
ting of the worlds grandest cataract
since its discovery by Father Hennepin
and the Cavalier La. Sale in 1857.
Among these reproductions are full-page
copies of Father Hennepin's India ink or
crayon sketch of the Falls N 1857, from
the original in the gallery at Utrecht; of
Yields two paintings of Niagara in 1896,
which had a world wide celebrity; of from
Coles equally famous picture IN 1888; OF
Gustave Dore's gorgeous painting, exc
cuted without having ever seen the
Falls, from a description given by
Chateaubriand, and from sketches by
others; and of nearly a hundred other
notable pictures, ranging over nearly W
centuries. Accompanying these char
ming works Of art are all the most strik-
ing descriptions; in prose and poetry,
ever written of the mighty Failing

we're wont to term it in their picturesque
v~ernacular. These literary gems COM

en- by Father Hennepin of his discovery
of the Falls, with La Sale, IN 1857. and
the Able Picquet's story of his visit IN
1852; and include Bryon's rhapsody, Mrs.

poems by Dickens, Willis, Irving, Porter,
Buckley and a long line of their brothers
in genius; scientific articles on the past,
present and future of the Falls, by such
men as Professor Tyndall and Sir Charles
Lyell: a characteristic description of a
visit to the Falls by Offenbach, the faith
er or step father of opera bouffe; the ln.

The feasibility of the plan for inun-

last year. The commission also found
that the work would be durable, " not

cation. They were, however, divided
Ia their opinions In regard to the mill
tary and commercial advantages
to be derived from the en-.
terprlse, and found 1t difficult
Of execution and consequently
very expensive. The commission
studied the scheme ia Paris; Lesseps
went down to Africa, accompanied by
specialist engineers and experienced
contractors, and 'all have come BAG
quite convinced" They found the
estuary of the Melan, the beginning
of the lnundating canal, to Offer q part
admitting Of easy excavation, and
fitted to form q well sheltered port.
The navigation Of the canal would be
facilitated by Its s%trsigbtness. There
would be no obstacle to anchoring In
sho inland sea, owing to q total alb
sence of rocks; vessels would thus
everywhere be safe. All the territory
on the north banks Of the waters,
from Gabes to Biskrs, could easily be
rendered fertile. Borings and nat
ural wells proved the existence oil

covered for cultivation would afford
ample remuneration for the capita.
and expenditures. 1t would evidently
be sufficient to cut, In the alluvial
party, q canal averaging twenty.fv Of
thirty meters In breadth, which tht
current Itself would widen. The cal
careous rocks at the base Of the Gabel
bar would off.r little inconvenience
and In compensation would furnigf
material for the construction Of piers

When to Plant Grape Vines.

DR.. S. d. Philbrlck, of Des Moinas,
Iowa, writes to The Homestead: 1t is
customary to plant the grape quite
early In the spring, but ! have recent
ly made o new departure from the old
practice, and now plant the vine about
the hrst of June. BY this time the
vine has made a growth of FIVE or ak
inches, and new rootlets have been
thrown out from the old roots. These
new roots furnish a constant feeder
for the vine. If properly set, the vine
can be planted any time In the day
without whiting, If the following direc.
lions are adhered to: Take your vines
up from the nursery and place them In
a bucket of thin mud; be careful and
not break the vine; have your ground
well prepared; in planting be sure and
have the roots evenly distributed; fill
the pot one.thlrd full, then pour In {
sufficient quantity of water to wet the
earth we'll; then I'LL the pit and presi
the earth firmly. If these directions
are strictly adhered to, 80 per cent o.
