VANCE AS A JOKER.
Three Anecdotes of the Popular
North CaroIinian.

Three Anecdotes of the Popular
North CaroIinian.
Vance. of North Carolina, is large,
heavily built man, with a heavy grey
moustache, a twinkle in his eye, and a
lover of a joke that knows no limitation,
says an exchange. He is an inexhausti-
BILE story teller, and he is rarely caught
without some retort or repartee at hand.
A newspaper man telling him one day
that he was about starting for a rather
out Of the way portion Of the Senator's
own state. and was asking something
about the accommodation he was likely
to find They'll give you some of their
fried hog and eggs" he replied That's
| better than nothing" said the newspa-
per man. 81 don't know don't know
the senator answered in a dubious tone
I've tried both"
Vance was in the Southern army, and
is q little lame as the result. He was in
one of the battles before Richmond,
where the fighting was particularly hot.
A startled rabbit appeared for moment
| on fallen tree, and then, at a murder
Gus discharge Of musketry, darted like
an arrow for the underbrush. General
Vance had noticed him, and as he flew
for cover the general called out, in a
manner that left no doubt as to his abso-
lutte sincerity: 60 it, cotton-tail If |
hadn't Il reputation to maintain l would
run. too"
One of the liveliest campaigns that was
ever carried on in North Carolina was
the one in which Vance and Judge Set
tie competed for the governorship. They
carried on joint debate All the white
democrats turned oup to hear Vance, and
all the colored republicans to hear Sc .
| tie. On one occasion, at the conclusion
of the speaking, Vance was informed
that there were some charming young
ladies who desired to testify their devo-
| ton to the democratic party by kissing
/ the democratic candidate for governor.
/ Nothing loath, Vance descended from
/ the platform and kissed a dozen or SC
young beauties from the Old North State,
when he paused long enough to turn
around towards his competitor and shout
Settle, I'm kissing my women; you kiss

did not kiss the feminine republicans.
The Empress of Russia must be en-.
dowed with a wonderful constitution.

men long ago, but has not even enfee

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884
THE TINES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in it's histOry-more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fiercely criticized, with q more complete or
ganiZation, and an able SsOf of contribution
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates TO advance, but will meet every ISSUE as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right. to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually In the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of newspaper Is not in its size or
display but in the intelligence and care, the
cOuciseness and freshness with which it ia
edited THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order tG give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it Il large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and to make it journal adapted both to the
busy man and TO the leisure Of the home cir
Gle d welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TUNEs is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago. The day OF those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient nsages have lost
their hold on our forward moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but shadow Of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone: and, with it, they are going, TOO 1t
was not the fault Of the papers: it was the i'm
proyement Of the country that brought about
the change Men and women wherever fbcX
live now require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.

A syndicate of northern and wes-
tern capitalists has been formed with
a capital of $1,000, 900 for develop
ing and working the marble quar-
ries around Tate Station, near JAS
per, Ga. The marble lies as a rule
from two to eight feet below the
surface. Excavations have been
made in a score of places, and every
where, without exception, solid mar
bic wins struck. a hole was drilled
in the marble and a blast put in it.
The explosion always showed that
the bed of marble was solid and
deep. Several creeks ran through
the valley and ran over solid marble
all the way. With the machinery
already put up at cost of $4,000,
the company are cutting out and
saving 300 cubic feet per day. 1t
expects to have running next year
ten or twelve engines and 300 men
at work. Gen. Mcdonald, of Geor-
gia, says the quarries which he Wis
tied in company with Senator Joe
Brown and other state officials, Sat
urday last, were revelation to him.

A Panama newspaper speaks of a
local physician, DIR. L. Girerd, as
having discovered a method of sue
cessful vaccination for yellow fever.
"He has vaccinated himself" it says,
"with culture of yellow fever
germs, and experienced mild form
Of the disease. 1t may be remem-
bered that proposition was made
in congress a few months ago, to Of
fer reward of 100000 to any per-
son of any country who would p ct
form the precise service which is
thus claimed for the Panama physi-
clan. 1t is rather remarkable that
at the same moment Pasteua should
be endeavoring to do for rabies,
Koch for Cholera, and Gnerd for
FELLOW fever, what Jenner did fol

volunteers were secured, and it is
predicted that within a few days a
membership of several hundred will
be obtained. A number OF republi-

The Lake City Reporter says:
'The Savannah News utters some
weighty words to the disconnected
democrats of the second district.
We may understand, once for all,
that the defeat of Mr.. Dougherty
means the success of Mr.. Bisbee.
If our people are ready to have re-
enacted the miseries and vices of the
radical regime, let them remain in
different and refuse to participate in
politics. Let US view this matter as
patriots and free men, and we can
find no argument which can justify
the neglect of our duties as Demo
Gratis or as good citizens. The only
hope for this country, politically, is
in a white mans government; and
this means, government by the de
mocracy. Mongrelism, independent
ism, and republicanism can do moth
ing for the uplifting and purifying
of the body polite. Twenty-fom
years experience in national affairs
proves that among the most corrupt
vicious, and dishonest parties which
has ever been tolerated, the republi
can party stands foremost. Fellow
countrymen, we must maintain dem
ocratic supremacy, and in order t.
do this, we must rally to the duly
recognized standard bearer of tn,
second district"

The anti-Blaine movement among the
Republicans of the Eastern States in.
cludes much of the more respectable and
influential element of the party. The
conference in New York on the 22d ultimo
resulted in organization for work against
Blaine, as to which the Brooklyn Union
(republican) says:
The practical result of the Conference is the
formation Of an organization fully equipped for
campaign work, all of whose influence will be
thrown against the republican and in favor of
the democratic candidate for President. ANY
one who regards this AS an unmportant element
in the Presidential contest must know very little
about the character of the men who have under
taken the active direction Of the movement We
venture to say that in activity, energy and or
ganizng skill the workers in the Independent
cause cal give odds to three times their number
of campaign committeeman in either of the regu-
lar organizations But ii should not be forgotten
that all there is of tangible organization In the
movement is but the head of the spear. Hun.
dreds OF thousands of thinking. selfrespectlng.
conscientious voters are behind il, whose
strength and determination will be appreciated
ON the day after election, but not before.
