AN INSANE WANDERER.
A Crazy German Woman With
out Friends or Money.

Thursday night there arrived at the
WOrieman house German woman of
small stature and thin vissge, apparently
about 40 years of age. She applied for
lodging and it was furnished her. Friday
night she went to the depot, saying she de-
sired to 60 of on the train. she failed TO
do so, however, and again returned to the
house last night. She repeated her visit TO
the depot and when the midnight train
came in she got on toe cars, but immedi-
ately got off again and went into the depot
\ reporter, noticing her peculiar actions,
attempted to ascertain, if possible, some
clue 20 her identity, but soon became con-
WINGED that she was insane. She first stated
she came from Kansas City, but declined to
state where she wished TO 90. When
asked what her name was she replied:
do / owe you anything"
After much persuasion she gave her
name as Mary Blanton and stated, she de-
sired to 60 TO Wsrrenton. where she said,
she Lad relatives After the train left,
she was again visite by the reporter and
Guced TO 60 back to the Werdeman house

Louis Greishsber and desired to have him
notified of her whereabouts. She is evil
dently crazy, and efforts will be made to
ascertain where she belongs. A telegram
was sent TO Little Rock last night, making
inquiries, and it is probable something
will be learned to-day concerning Der. She
ought to be looked after in the meantime
by some OF our good German ladies who
can speak her language.

Sun AND SHADOW.

Some lives are filed with sun and shine,
And nothing ever saddes bars
The tender blue of Haayen's line,

Some pathways lie beside the flow

And seasons calmly come and go
Thro, soundless dells and quiet hooks.

Sand ever meath the clouds of tate,
Ard struggIiI g forward yainly strive
To STEM the wclld's relentless Late.
Some tread the path ofthorns beside
The sullen poll and iurb d stream,
And days and woes arc so allied
They seem dreadful waking dream.

LiucoIn,s Nomination Over Seward.

1t is one of the contradictions not in
frequently exhibited in the movement
OF partisan bodies, that Mr. Seward
was defeated because of his radical ex-
pressions on the slavery question,
while Mr.. Lincoln was chosen in spite
of expressions far micro radical than
those of Mr.. Seward. The "irrcpressi-
BILE conflict" announced by Mr.. Sew
ard, at Rochester, did not go so far as
Mr.. Lincoln's declaration, at Spring
field, That "the union could not exist
half slave, half free" Neither Mr..
Seward nor Mr.. Lincoln contemplated
tSe destruction Of the Government, and
vet thousands had been made to believe
that Mr.. Seward made the existence of
the Union depend on the abolition of
slavery Mr.. Lincoln had announced
the same doctrine in advance of Mr..
Seward, with q dirertness and blunt

Fishing with a Flock of Geese.

In Scotland they have a curious way
of fishing that takes the medal for the
ease and repose with which it is con-
Quoted. The fisherman we will say is
after pike. Selecting a big goose from
his barnyard, or half dozen geese, as
the case may be, he ties baited hook
and line about five feet long to their
feet, and on reaching the water turns
them in. The birds of course swim
out, and the fisherman lights his pipe
and sits down. In few minutes fish
sees the bait and seizes it, giving the
goose a good pull The bird starts for
shore at full tilt, frightened half to
death, dragging the fish upon the
bank, when it is unlocked. The line
being rebaited, the feathered fisherman
is again sent out to try its luck. A
flock of geese can make quite haul in
the course of day, the human fisher
men having only to take off the game
and bait the hooks, the pulling in and
hooking being done ~ the birds. In
Washington Territory, in the great
salmon river, pigs have been seen to
chase fish, diving for them under
water. Pigs are not naturally lively
under water, but they are said to pick
up dead salmon In ten feet of water by
diving. -NeW York Sun.

NJack. - the Evangelist.

Some years ago there lived in Hanni-
bal, No., an old lame darkey named
Jack, who made frequent excursions
to the surrounding country to preach
the gospel to the colored population.
One Sunday, after having preached
an eloquent discourse, he raised one OF
his big scaly, splay feet and rested it
upon bench in front of him and said

ober stones and grabbed jess fo' de good
of yo' souls, an he dussen't spec muffin

The brethren not having brought any
shoes to church took up collection
and handed him the proceeds. After
pronouncing the benediction he placed
his old "yaller" saddle-bags across his
arm and hobbled off toward Hannibal
Having traversed q mile or two of
the distance he diverged from the road
among the timber. One CT the breth-
rem short distance in the rear, MOTTO
ing the maneuver, followed, and found
Jack standing beside a hollow stump,
with his hands resting upon his hips
and his mouth stretched from ear to
ear with laughter, looking at his feet.

Miniature Trees.

The dwarf trees of China are the
great curiosities of forestry. Every
child knows how the Chinese cramp
their women's feet by bandaging them
when they are infants, and thus render
it impossible for them to walk. 1t is,
however, wonderful to see miniature
oaks, chestnuts, pines, and cedars grow
ing in fower-pots, 90 years old and yet
not foot high. A friend of mine,
who is an invalid and confined to his
room, has been, during several years
past, amusing himself, among other
matters, with the cultivation of dwarf
trees, and he has succeeded admirably.
He takes a young plant, cuts off its
tap-root, and places it in a basin
in which there is good soil kept
well watered. If it grows too rapidly
he digs down and shortens in several
roots. Every year the leaves grow
smaller, and the little dwarf trees make
interesting pets, just as some people
raise canary birds, and others, squirrels.

Two of n Kind.

They were talking about Gus De
Smith and Kosciusko Murphy in the
Fizzletop family. Col. Fizzletop said
that he considered them two of the
brightest young men in Austin. Little
Johnny spoke up and said:
"Why, pa, Mr.. De Smith hasn't got
any sense. The other day he thought
1 was a chip, and Mr.. Murphy can't
count two.
What do you mean, Johnny?"
well, pa, 1 was riding ont on my
little donkey the other day, and met
Gus De Smith and Mr.. Murphy. Mr..
De Smith looked at me and said was
a chip of the old block"
And what did Mr.. Murphy say?"
HE put his hand on the donkey and
said there were two chips of the old
block. Now, if was chip of the old
block, how did he come to say there
were two chips? The donkey isn't q
chip of the old block, too, is hep"
The "old block" or rather Fizzletop,
has not quite as good an opinion of
those young men as he formerly had.

Prof. Adler, OF New York, wants to
reform home life 30 that there will be
less drudgery for woman. and more
time and strength to devote to her own
improvement and the "soul life" of her
children. He thinks that some form Of
cooperative housekeeping may be de-
vised to hberate the mother from her
present slavery. 1t is possible that the
labor of housekeeping might be con-
siderably reduced by some form of CO.
operation, as it is now by the employ
ment of public laundries; but it is not
certain that the liberation of woman
from labor would universally conduce
to the moral and mental improvement
of herself and her children. This is
not slur upon woman. Men who do
not work are very liable to degenerate
mentally, morally, and physically.
The greatest help for woman would be
to reduce the exactions of society,
fashion, and custom, if such thing
could be done. Every new feature in
modern society entails labor upon her.
The more sewing machines, the more
tucks and frills. The more brica brac,
the more sweeping and busting. The
more acquaintance, the more time
wasted in formal calls The truth of
the matter is that the wife and mother,
who really loves her children, does not
ask to be relieved of the cares which
make her habitation home. She would
rather work hard than make her house
q phalanstery, and any improvement
in housekeeping which tends to make
her family any less family, she would
reject. The housewife earns her half
of the family income, and until the hus-
band is able to procure an income
without labor the true wife will not
shirk her share of the burden. Spring

The Home of the Goldfish.

What q marvellous influence upon
civilization and human progress the
humble but nutritious Goldfish has had.
He has been a mine of wealth to a vast
population. 1t seems that good Mother
Nature, foreseeing the needs of human
ity, has made special preparations for q
good supply of this very necessary ar
ticle of food for body and brain, and
foated her icebergs, which were filled
with the sandy bottom of Northern
seas, down to the Gulf Stream, where
they melted and deposited their debris,
forming the Grand Bank of Newfound-
land. It was the work, the slow and
toilsome work, of ages. Every spring
thousands of these bergs, one-third
above the water and two-thirds below,
the upper part clear, sparkling and
translucent, rejecting the sunshine and
giving it back to the enraptured eve
with that prodigality and brilliancy of
coloring which only nature can afford,
the lower part mixed with the coast
bottom of Greenland and Labrador, to
the extent of thousands of carloads,
came floating down majestically through
Davis Strait, and, meeting the warm

melted and deposited their contribu-
tions until those immense shoals were
formed where the cod and haddoclx
swarm. And it is said that these sand
banks have huge depressioas like vast
valleys, which serve rs aquaria, and
that when vessel is lucky enough to
anchor over enc of them, IL can fill its
hold and deck with as many as it can
carry. For generations the inhabitants
OF Newfoundland, and the venturesome
folks who live all along the New Eng
land coast, get their daily bread or lay
up competency from this never failing
source of wealth. What vast number
of people on the globe get their living
out of and subsist principally on the
invaluable cod, and what vast quanti-
ties have been landed by the fishing
feet of Gloucester since her fishermen
first engaged in the business. Fisher

THE Tarhoro Southerner SAWS Z

THE Tarboro Sotttherner says that q
pea-vine in that section, grown from an
ordinary black pea, covers over two
hundred square feet of ground One
half the peas had been gathered, which
numbered about 300 and measured
little more than three pints.
This gives an increase from a single
pea, provided the remaining portions
of the vine we're equally productive, of
more than ten, thousand fold. Whether
the large yield was due TO the prolif-
cacy of tho pea as variety, or to the
fertility of the soil is not stated, but it
is demonstrated that we shonld not be
content with the average yield in the
face of such results.
