Selfish Daughters.

When the daughter has grown up
selfish and domineering it is primarily
the mothers own fault The fond
mother, especially if she has few of the
good things of this world, is too likely
to say: II will sacrifice everything for
my child. will do without, that she
may possess; will drudge, that she
may be a lady. Twill stay out of socie-
ty and wear old clothes, that she may
60 out as well dressed as her compan-
ions and enjoy herself"
That is the first misstep. Any mother
who follows that plan will be the slave
of her daughter before she is out of
pinafores; and the daughter is sure to
grow up selfish, exacting, silly and un-
reasonable. By and by the mother
looks for some reward. She doesn't
ask for fine clothes and relief from
drudgery-she has got use to her hard
lot; but she Graves little sympathy
and commentator from the worshiped
daughter for whom she ''has done so
much"
Aye, altogether too much; so much so
that it has spoilt the girls naturally
sweet and unselfish disposition. Mary
is a little uneasy once in while, but
she has no real sympathy for her toll
worn mother. She is ashamed of her
mothers old-fashioned clothes, though
she takes as her right all the new ones
herself, and the aesthetic young lady is
impatient and mortified because her
mother can't talk about anything but
common domestic subjects, you
know"
This is all wrong. AS long as a
woman has home she should be the
undisputed mistress of it, the superior
officer. AS long as a daughter remains
in her fathers house she is the natural
and proper subordinate of her mother.
Daughters brought up to understand
this and to shape their actions accord
ingly receive discipline which best fits
them to be, in their turn, mistresses of
their own homes and judicious mothers.
A mother is right in desiring the best
welfare of her child; but it is better for
the child that her mother should main
tain her own dignified position, and that
she should make the most of herself in
tellectually and socially.-Cor Mime

Don't Hurry.

You might as well recall the old adj
age "Wait till your hurry's over" and
try and live up to it. There never was
anything done well in hurry and new
err will be. SO soon as one in any sort
of work feels himself pushed for time
and pushed on by the thought of half a
dozen things behind which must be done
within certain period, so soon does he
in his work commence to scrabble,
and ''scrabbling" ruins it all. The
best thing to do under the circumstances
(unless the house is on fire. is to break
short off, pull up and wait till the hur-
nv is over If it really is better to do
one thing well than six things i'll, then
the sooner the habit of hurry is gotten
rid of the better. Some people minds,
however, by a long life use get in the
habit of hurry from which it is quite
impossible to free themselves. They
perform the most trivial act in breath
less condition of haste when there Is no
necessity for it. They dress in hurry,
walk in hurry, and this mental condi-
ton is kept up all day. Usually they
die in hurry. BY and by more ply
sicians will tell us that these forced and
abnormal conditions of mind beget dis
eases of the body. When hurry is so
carried into every act of life (and the
tendency for this in these days of steam
and telegraphs grow greater and great
err there is an incessant and useless
frittering away of vitality. The victim
at last falls sick; some organ or func-
ton weaker than the rest gives way and
the doctor gives the complaint name.
But few will trace its real cause, and
that may be continued unnecessary
strain of body and mind for years caused
by overmuch hurry.-M Y. Graphic.

else, experience Is the best
guide. Many growers remove the cork
gradually. The first year all below q
height Of twelve inches from the ground
is taken off, two years later all above
this and below the branches, and after
another equal period that of the branch
es. In this way the tree is less exposed
to cold while the new cork forms more
rapidly. Great care is taken not to
wound or remove the inner bark. Aft
er the removal of the cork two, some
times four, longitudinal incisions, reach
ing to the inner bark, are made under
that portion of the trunk which has
been tapped. This prevents the crack
ing OF the outer surface of the new cork.
Many persons will be surprised to learn
that the cork oak does not shed its cork
naturally. If not removed the outer
portion OF the cork comes off in flakes,
just as the bark of many other trees.
The color of the freshly removed cork
is rosy white, but this tint soon disap-
pears. The cork is stacked in piles.
In two months it has lost one-fifth of its
weight and is ready for market. Strip
pers receive from sixty to seventy cents
for days work. In Spain cork is
worth from one dollar and half to two
dollars the quintal. AS the demand for
corks is increasing annually, SO the
value OF cork plantations increases from
year to year. Forty years ago in one
of the departments of France the cork
plantations yielded annually net profit
OF twelve per cent. on their estimated
value, and this was four times the profit
derived from forests of oak.-G. B.

WILLIS CREEK, y. c.. Dec. 10.-You
drove good nail and clinched it when

Tie beginning of wisdom is the fear OF
the Lord, and so the fear and knowledge
of our poverty is the beginning Of our
wealth. 1t is the fralties of our nature
to try 10 palm ourselves off on other
folks for being Just little better off than
we really are. First, don't let is try 10
''cut a swell" Don't get store clothes
and attend fairs and leave the merchants
balance on the debit side. When your
wife says, .'old man just bring a yard and
a half of small-checked calico to make the
baby dress,' twill only cost II cents.
And, when you start TO town don't below
out hard times and then dose all your
friends on whisky and fume them with
cigars when you get there. When dinner
time comes don't say, ''Well man ought
always to be well fed to work right. and
pay seventy five cents for a first-class dim
ner,' when the BARNS are at home on corn
dod.r1s Put a norton yam and a cold
biscuit in your pocket for yourself, and a
bundle OF fodder for your pony, get the
dress and carry back eighty eight cents.
All this is for the poor folks.
Don't buy on crop time if you can pos
sibly avoid it. for 1.-The debtor is but

on his collars Above all let us not be
covetous; keep the heart right; help the
suffering and disconsolate, not only with
words but also with your means. It is
truism as we'll as a paradox that giving is
getting. There never was prosperous
man that was envious or cOvetOus. There
is no good digestion for a Thanksgiving
dinner, even if the fry pay was out of use,
if you can't feel thankful for it and wish
your neighbors had a better one. In nut
shell, ''Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and his righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto YOU" Don't try to
get more value for what you have than it
is worth. There is such thing as being
too close to thrive. It is the liberal soul
that grows fat. If you have an old SOW
that eats your chickens don't wait for her
to kill them all but pen her right away,
for eggs are worth twenty cents per dozen
cash. Be prompt as well as industrious.
There is light streak on the horizon.

WILLIAMSON, Dec. S.-The firing of
the town on Thursday night was undoubt-
edly the planned work of incendiares.
The wharf that was burned and the fire in
the town had two distinct origins; and the
town is (or was) on the hill SO far from the
river that there could have been no such
thing as communicating the flames from
one to the other. The telegraph office and
the postoffice were destroyed, and the
establishments of Messrs. j. w. Daven-
port & Co., c. B. Hassell, George w. Will
lams, S. r. Biggs, j. I. Deans, William
Slade, Peel & Curiganus, B. B. Watts &

1t is with some degree Of pride that we
can record the fact that last week was the
biggest tobacco week within the history OF
Durham's S tobacco trade. The break be-
gan Monday and lasted until Saturday.
There was so much tobacco here that it
required extra efforts Oh the part of the
auctioneers to sell as fast as possible in or
der to get the farmers home, and make
room for more. 1t is said that Mr.. &. E.
Webb, Parrish & Blackwel's auctioneer,
made the best time and gave the best sat

would have in every county where spirits
are manufactured one bonded agent. and
only one, whose bond might be examined
by the Federal Court to insure good faith

sell the stamps as in the case of tobacco.
Now this system Of licensure would great
ly simplify the business both to the people
and to the government. There would be
only one set of officers Immediately res

gauging, spying one man to watch
another-would be at an end. Revenue

Special Correspondence Of the Chronicle.

Special Correspondence Of the Chronicle.
NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-You ask for Cos
sip about Mr.. Tilden. There is no gossip
about him. All that has recently been
said is the report, which, of course, has
reached you, that he will donate his dwell
ing on Gramercy Park and his great libra
ry to the city of New York and that rtl-
NOR has been denied. Indeed the stand
ing enigma about Mr.. Tiden is whether
he affects mystery or whether he cares
nothing about the gossip of which he is the
subj"ct. The prevalent impression in
New York is that he likes to keep his name
a football. Ii the public were utterly to
lose hearing OF him, there would be no
curiosity to know whether he will be the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
The opinion here is that he will not be,
but this opinion is not based on the suppo-
sitiOn that he does not care to be. The
enigmatlcal utterances of Mr.. Dana and
OF Mr.. WattersOn that under no circum
stances will he be the candidate are not re-
ccived altogether as the expressions Of ora
cles. They look too much like pretty
game to make the Convention ask him to
run.
But the reason why it is generally taken
for granted that he will not be a candidate
is because he is not now in any way iden-
titled with the fight along the line that has
now been drawn which the party will
make. While nobody doubts the injustice
that he and the whole party suffered in '76,
the fraud issue" is nothing. The election
OF any other good Democrat would be as
great recompense and vindicaton as the
election OF Mr.. Tilden. Besides, the De-
mocracy, let us hope, is now party with
a set purpose to bring the tariff to a reve
nue. basis. And simply the fraud issue"
is no longer foremost.
Mr.. Tilden, no doubt all your readers
know, lives practically in retirement.
There is an office down town with his name
on the door, but he does not often go there.
He does not trouble himself with business
affairs. He seldom goes out. You cannot
hear once in three months of a man who
has recently seen him. These facts point
pretty strongly to the conclusion that he
| affects mystery.
Yet what a political manager he is I.
Aud, if he should be taken up again by
the party as its candidate, he would be
taken up simply because of his skill in con-
Quoting campaign. We are moving very
fast and the prevalent impression is that
he will never again be on the political
boards. s.
