The Editors Trousers.
1.-THE Cesatatry.)

An editor in Chicago recently order
ed pair of trousers from the tailor
On trying them on they proved to be
several inchestoo long. It being late
on Saturday night the tailor's shop
was closed, and the editur' took the
trousers 70: his. wife .sand asked her to
cut them off and hem them over. The
good lady, whose dinner had, perhaps.
disagreed with her, brusouely refused.
The same result followed an applica-
ton to the wife's sister and the eldest
daughter. But before bedtime the
wife, relenting, took the pants, and
cutting off six inches from the legs,
hemmed them up nicely and restored
them to the closet. Half an hour later
her daughter, taken with compation
for the unflial conduct, took the trou-
sers and, cutting off six..inches, hemmed
and replaced them. Finally, the sister
in-law felt the pangs of conscience, and
she, too, performed an additional sur
gical operation on the garment. When
the editor appeared at breakfast on
Sunday the family thought High
land chieftain had arrived.

A HITCH IN HISTORY.
WAS THE BATTLE OF KINGS NOUN
TAIN EVER FOUGHT?
A Startling Discovery Made by Cores
pondent of the Winston Sentinel

WINSTON, Aug. 27.-Nothing has
ever surprised US more than the state
ment contained in the Encyclopaedia
Histo1';oa that there never was bat
tie fought at Kings Mountain. This
publication is edited by Frenchman
one Emmanuel Kausau who claims to
be an ex-member of the Acadamie Roy
al. His story is that the whole of the
history of the battle was a fiction in
vented by General Davie Of this State
while Minister at Paris, to influence
the action Of the French Government
on the question of the recognition of
our American Union. After careful
examination of this theory to be found
under the head of "Imaginary Bat
tles' on page SO Of the work-there is
we confess more in it than we believed.
The attempt having been made to rob
us of the glory Of the Mecklenburgh
Declaration of Independence are we
now to lose Kings Mountain
Your correspondent would especial
1y request our State antiquarians to
look into this matter, as it is of emf
nent Importance to our State history.

THE SPLIT IN SPAIN.
A GREAT POLITICAL CONFUSION.
The People C1amoring for a Republican
Form of CoVernmeI =.
{ Cincinnati IImes-Star,)

Cincinnati ITmes-.Star) =
Spain is In convulsion. Evidentiy
the present outbreak is something
more serious than Alfonso has witness
ed since he assembled the throne Dan
gerous elements are engaged in the
Republican plot. Lower grade officers
of the garrisons, common soldiers and
the bold peasants of the provinces join
in the uprising. The Government is
making vigorous efforts to crush the
rebels and will probably succeed, for
they seem to lack organization and
leadership. But as yet the spirit OF
rebellion is unsubdued,
1t appears that Andulasia, Valencia
and Catalonia are ablaze with enthu-
siasm for the cause of liberty. The
Province of Andulasia comprises the
entire basin of the Guadalquivir, and
contains population of 100000.
Nearly the whole country is owned by
great landlords. The people have been
oppressed, as in Ireland and Scotland.
That is one explanation of the general
discomfort and periodical Insured
tlons. The peasants ale said to be
more boastful and boisterous than
brave, but still are capable of much
mischief in irregular warfare. Valen-
cia covers 5000 square miles, with a
population of 1 100000 The inhabi-
tants of this province present the most
peculiar combination of characteristics
to be found in any branch of the
Spanish race. They are gay and friv-
olous, given to amusements, renowned
as accomplished dancers, and the wo-
men are famous for their beauty. Yet
they are people Of ferocious instincts.
From Valencia i'll former times came
the hired assassins who dispatch un-
lucky persons obnoxious to royalty or
nobility at Madrid, Human life is
now very cheap in Valencia. Assas-
sination is common crime. This des-
perate and fiery element, if thoroughly
aroused, may prove dangerous to the
Government and difficult to conquer.
Catalonia is larger province, COM
prising 12,4OO square miles, and hav-
ing nearly 100000 inhabitants. It
is rich and fertile country, with a
mixed population. The men are de-
scribed as broadshouldered, muscular
and proud, brave and bold, and al
ways ready for revolution or anything
of the sort which offers an opportunity
to fight They seem to cultivate a
warlike disposition. They frequently
fight among themselves for the fun Of
it.
While all these things go to show
that the young King has reason to
dread the possible consequence Of this
great revolt-would that he had great
er reason they may also appear to
justify the doubts of CASTELAR, and Ser
rano as to whether Spain is prepared
for a Republican form Of government.
But there were doubts about France
and France has fourished. Liberty
elevates and ennobles people.
The sympathies of every free coun-
try on the globe are with the revolu-
tionists of Spain. IF the present up
rising fails, let us hope they will gath
er strength, renew the struggle, and
finally be able to dump the old throne
into the sea.

EVENINGS Ar HOME.

Solomon tells us that there is time for
all things time to weep, and time
to laugh, to play and to dance. Surely,
the time to laugh, to play and to dance
comes most appropriately in the long
pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs
And silently steal away.
1t is we'll for the women of the house.
hold to remember that the pleasant
evenings at home are strong antidotes
to the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by
and forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be indulged In somehow
by most men, and happy are they who
find in the home circle the diversion
they need. A lively game, an interest
ing book read aloud, or, in musical
families, new song to be practiced,
will furnish pastime that will make an
evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day,
a little pulling of wires that need not
appear will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
provided for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly, and time to be looked
forward to with pleasant anticipations.
We visited once in large family
where it was the duty Of each sister, in
turn, TO provide the evenings occupa-
tion, and there was q pleasant rivalry
between them as to whose evening
should be the most enjoyable. The
brothers entered fully into the spirit Of
the simple home entertainments, and
were as 10th to be obliged to spend an
evening away from home IS their sisters
and parents we're to have them absent.
Every one spoke of this family as an un-
commonly united one, for each and
every. member showed such strong at
tachment for the home to which each
one contributed so much pleasure.

A NEW SNOW PLOW.

A Kansas City inventor has patented
snow pillow which promises to take the
place of the cumbersome scoops which
are attached to locomotives running on
Northern railroads during the winter.
1t is an arrangement of steam pipes
which can be heated at the will of the
engineer, melting the snow as tine en-
CINE slowly advances. The form of the
ordinary snow pillow is preserved so that
the snow in shallow cuts can be thrown
aside, as by the pillow now in use but
when deep drifts are encountered the
steam can be turned on the pipes and
the road cleared in far less time than it
can be done with shovels. Another
advantage in the new invention is that
it will not leave additional embankment
to catch a still greater depth of snow in
succeeding storms.

Rec CULTURE.

1t is but few years since anything
like systematic bee culture has been at
tempted in the United States, but the
business has now become an important
industry, more than 35, 100000 pounds
of honey being annually produced and
sold. The trade is principally carried
on by large capitalists, who often have
from $500 to 5000 swarms of bees. In
California the bees are farmed out, that
is, apiaries of 100 swarms or so are
placed in the grounds of farmers, gener-
ally from three to four miles apart. The
farmers receive fixed rent or share of
the honey for their compensation, as may
be agreed upon. On an average, one
acre of ground is estimated to support
twenty-five swarms of bees, and the yield
of swarm is generally about fifty
pounds of honey a year.

GARFIELD As IN ORATOR.

Gen. Garfield was the most effective
stump and platform orator OF his party.
He went directly to the reason OF his
hearers. There was never any sophistry
in his speeches, or any appeal to preju-
dice, or any trick of suppression or half
statement. He approached his audi
ences neither in way of mock Difference
nor of superiority, but as if he were one
of them, come to talk with them on
terms of intellectual equality, and de-
sirous only of convincing their minds by
perfectly-fai presentation of facts and
arguments. He had q strong, far
reaching voice, pitched in the middle
key, dignifed, manly presence, and an
abundance of the quality which, for
want of better term, we call personal
magnetism. His manner in his speeches
was first engaging by reason of its frank
ness and moderation, and afterward I'M
pressive by its earnestness and vlgor.
At the climax of speech he gathered
up all the forces of statement. and logic
he had been marshaling, and hurled
them upon his listeners with tremendous
force. His eyes dilated, his form seemed
to expand, his voice took on sort OF
explosive quality, his language gained
the height of simple and massive elo-
quence, and his gestures became so en-
ergetic and forcible that he seemed, at
times, to be beating down opposition
with sledge-ham blows, throwing his
arguments forward like solid shot from
a cannon.-E. Y Snaalley, IN the Cent
ury Magazine.

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS,

In France a pearl costing SIG is now
initiated for so cents or 81, and so sue
cessfully as to be sold at the price of
the genuine article to any one not a
veritable expert, and even the latter
class are often puzzled. The artificial
pearl, however, is simply glass bead
or globe which is first coated on the in
side with glue made of parchment,
then treated with peculiar so-called
"essence," after which it is filled with
wax. The essence is the chief pearly
ingredient, and is obtained by rubbing
together whitefsh, SO as to remove the
scales the whole is then strained
through linen, and left to deposit it's
sediment, which is the essence in ques-
ton. It requires about 1900 fish to
produce pound of the pearly essence

POLAR EXPLORATIONS.

For many years explorers have made
attempts to penetrate to the far North,
seeking the open Polar sea, which was
believed to exist, and endeavoring to
penetrate to the North pole. In 1850
an Arctic expedition was fitted out by
Henry Grinnell, of New York, with
Lieut.. E. J. DeHaven as commander
and DR.. Elisha Kent Kane as naturalist
and surgeon. This is classed as the first
United States expedition of search; it
returned in 1851 without finding trace OF
Franklin. DR.. Kane in 1853 sailed
from Boston in the Advance, with a
company of seventeen men, among
whom was DIR. Hayes; they encoun-
tered many dangers, and returned to
Boston, where they arrived Oct. II, 1856.
On May 20, 1860, the first expedition
Charles Francis Hall sailed from New
London, Ct, to search for Franklin,
and returned without finding any trace
of that navigator, after an absence Of
two years. DIR. Hayes sailed from Bos-
ton, July 8, 1850, in the schooner Unit
ed States, of 1873 tons, with fourteen per-
sons in the party, not including him
self; he reached land in latitude 81 deg.
81 min. Hall started from New Lon
don, Ct, on his second trip, July 30.
1864, and returned in 1869; and again
he fitted out an expedition by o Con,
gressional appropriation, and went
north to find the open Polar sea, but he
died in Greenland, Nov. 8, 1871 his
vessel was the Polaris, which sailed from
New York June 20, 1871. On July 8,
1879, the steamer Jeanette was fitted
out at San Francisco by James Gordon
Bennett, for an Arctic trip through
Behring's straits, the crew numbering
thirty.two men. On June 10, 1878,
Lieut.. Fred Scwhstka, with 0 party
of five, left New rk In search OF the

were found, and the party returned after
