The Queen of Roumania on Women.

Queen Elizabeth, Of Roumania, IS
one of the most literary ladies OF
European courts. She writes pleas
inglv and much-too much, indeed
for her own reputation. Her great
theme is woman, her joys and sor-
rows. for she has suffered much.
Some of her thoughts are worthy
of transcription:
"If woman is bad man is gener-
ally the cause therof writes the
Queen.
DO not trust man who does
not believe in thy happiness IN thy
home
Among the savages the wife IS an
animal of burden, among the Turks
luxury, among the Europeans she
is both.
s"The woman of the world is sell
dom the wife of her husband.
IAN unhappy wife is like flow
err exposed to the blast; she remains
a bud for long time, and when she
develops to a blossom she quickly
fades"
The virtue Of a wife must often
be very great, for not unfrequentlv
she must have sufficient for both
her husband and herself
"If one forgives one loves no lon
GER, for true love knows nothing OF
| forgiveness.
"The jealousy Of those who love
us is the grandest hattery."
"Man and wife should never cease
to do a little courting, no matter
| how old they may be.

A full and varied supply of fresh
vegetables during the fall months,
is luxury not always enjoyed by
farmers. And yetit is about as easy
to have them late as early, and some
times more so. A good, rich soil,
worked fine and kept moist by fire.
quent stirring, is the essential fea-
ture. Ground from which early
vegetables have been taken is always
available. Bear in mind at this sea-
son that seeds require moisture to
germinate and grow, so first steep in
warm water several hours, plant
deep and keep the soil from baking
about them.

Test for Butter.

Every housekc"per should know
how to tell o!conlsrg,rine from but
ter" said il Washington market
dealer to a New York UrruH re-
porter. "The market is full Of bogus
butter. SO skilfully made that it
cannot be told from the genuine
article by the eye or the tongue. TO
detect it market men draw the blade
Of knife across the suspected but
ter. If it is oleomargarine the place
where the knife was pressed will
look white, and track of the blade
will be marked with little beads of
water. When the test is made with
the genuine butter the white look
does not appear, but the butter holds
its color"
Another test is to drop piece of
the suspected butter into a we'll
heated fryingpan. If it is oleomar-
garine it will sputter, because of the
water in it. IF it is real butter it
will melt and bubble or boil but not
sputter. Any housekeeper can tell
the difference.

Who Cot The Money.

Mr.. Blaine tells us that the couE-
try has increased its wealth thirty
thousand million dollars (S3O,00O,-
0OO,O00) in TWO decades from 1850
to 1880 which mark the reign of
his party; and he intimates that this
large growth in wealth is the pro-
duct Of the protective tariff policy
which his party inaugurated i'll 1861
and has maintained up to the pres
ent day. lIr. Blaine's figures are
not correct; they are enormous ex-
aggerations. But let us for the
present admit them; will he please
to tell us where this thirty thousand
millions Of increased wealth, pro-
auo~5 II the last twenty years, IS to
ha Gau1d? Who owns it? 1t is
Sc, ,u"3 for every adult laboring man
in the country. Do the laboring
men Of the country own it? They
certainly produced it, if it exists;
but do they possess it? The inces-
SAINT strikes among the laboring
classes, their hourly protests against
low wages, and the chronic discon-
tent that has prevailed among them
for over half half the twenty years
embraced in Mr.. Blaine's review are
the most effective answers to this
question. There is not one working
man in hundred who is worth 3d.
eco. If this vast wealth has been
produced somebody OWNS it-not
they.
Let US see if we can trace it up.
The aggregate amount Of capital
employed in manufactures IN the
United States in 1880 was 50, 1o0,-
100000; total number Of hands en-
ployed was 2,737,O0O; the total
wages paid was S947,OOO,OOO; the
total value Of material used was s.
306,0O0,000; and the total value of
finished products was s., ,369, ,COO,0Oo.
Divide the wages paid (9i7, ,O00,C 0,COO)
among the number of hands =, 49,
O0O) and we have as the yearl Y earn
ing Of each hand S346-less than a
81 a day.
Now add together the amount
the manufacturers paid out iii wages
(S0+7, 7,0OO,0OO) and the amount they
paid out for materials 6. 5000, eco
and the sum is ST 343,0 ,000,OOO. Sub
tract this from the total finished
product (S5. 10000, ,00o), and we
have their ret profit-S1 ,053,O ,G0G
which is 30 per cent. on their
capital so, - !.0Oo,000).
The census figures tell a curious
story. They show that the manu-
facturers made more money than
they paid cut in wages to their
hands. Tn1 amount they paid out
in wages was 10000, ,G0O: tha net

Willing to Go Another Dollar.

Quite a sensation was created On
Alber.narle street the other day. An
old man came driving up the street.
His cart was a queer vehicle of an
ancient type and had evidently been
used great many years. AL! at
once the iron gray mule came to a
standstill. He refused to move. He
wouldn't go. The dilapidated speci-
men Of long departed past beat
him vigorously with a club. The
old man pounded him numerically.
But that mule refused to go. He
would not move. BY this time a
great crowd had gathered about and
strange to say almost every one
knew how to make that mule go.
"Unti his belly-band," SAID a man
with pug nose.
The bcliy-band was made loose.

tie him to d great street car said a
man who was smoking a big cob
pipe. :.
A rope was put around the ami
mails neck and tied to a street car.
The mule moved almost block.
The crowd followed. He was un-
tied but refused to move.
"Tie string to his ears and pull" "
said man with long red hair.
1t was done. The mule remained
stationary.
Put some dry sand in his mouth" "
said little man.
Another failure.
Tie up one of his front legs, y
said a staggering fellow.
The leg was tied up. The mule
didn't move, and apparently didn't
miss the leg.
"Rlow in his ear said q clerk.
The mule winked his left eye, and
throwing the other ear back. looked
as if he would be blowed before he'd
move.
The old man began to show signs
of encouragement. Trouble, and
labor had told Oh him.
At last man came up wearing a
smile, a Roman nose and blue shirt.

mule was thrown off his guard, his
tail went down with a bang, and

Prejudice

On a recent visit to Asheville, we
were a little surprised to see preju-
dice quite as high as we found it.
Because we did not agree to support
DR.. York, we failed to get several
subscribers among the unterriiied. If
these self-sanctified followers OF Re
publicanisn were as particular about
their support Of Democratic journals,
we imagine that things would take
a different shape; Or should Demo-
Gratis be so mean and low as to at
tempt to swear every Negro against
Republicanisnl, there would hot be a
sin gle Negro paper i'll the State
for, if Democratic patronage should
be withheld-the last one Of them
would be compelled to suspend,
which would be just what these lat
ter day masters desire. They fear
every Negro paper that they do not
own, and would gladly assist in con-
signing them to oblivion.--Banaey

HOME CIRCLE.
OLD CORNSTALK.

The benson boys had committed
a foul murder, and the entire neigh
borhood was up in arms against
them. Jack Dover, the victim had
dared to face the boys, and tell them
they were infringing on his rights
by pulling down fence and allowing
their cattle to range in his field.
For this assumption he was shot
down. The Densons, four in num-
Der, fled to the mountains. The
governor issued a proclamation, cal
ling on all good citizens to assist IN
their arrest. Men turned loose
their plow handles and rallied to the
support of the law. 1t reminded
one of the beginning OF the war,
when farmers suddenly became SOL
diers. The posse wa. under COM
mand OF Sheriff Guiding, a bold
man. who brought home three
wounds from Gettysburg, and a
mong the avengers was an old fei-
low named Cornstalk Johnson.
Why this name was given HIM IS
not known, unless It be the fact
that he has bat one ear, and it Is
said that Il stalk Of corn i'll Old Fiat
neighborhood never bore bat one
ear. CornstalIl took wish him al

ented to. his grandfather by HAEE
Crockett. The nciS:5ors held their
own opinions concerning the hiStor-
ic value Of the gun, and some OF
them limited that he ''nipped the
rife during the Brooks-BaNter war,
but as every one desired to be on
good terms with the old fellow, he
was allowed to have his own way.
1t was known that the benson
BOYS had friends in the mountains,
and that desperate resistance would
be made.
Ouite a number of men who were
eaoer to serve the state, became DIS
couraged when the excitement had
died away, and finally Sheriff Gull
ding, Just as the posse was enter
inc the defles, stood high up III his
stirrups, and exclaimed:
Il want You fellows to understand
one thing. There is going TO be
some music round here, and COW
ard has no business i'll the gang.
If anybody wants to go back, now $
the time to git.
The appellation Of coward had ef-
feet and for a time no one was dis
posed to accept the hum!llatln@
terms of discharge. Finally Old
Cornstalk rode from the ranks, and
said:
I know as we'll as I know my

By reference to rage se4 Of TIE

this bill came up on the third read

he offered a proviso limiting its OPP

this, he again voted squarely against
the bill.

crossed the mountains. but would
have stopped at Old Fort. With
the yearly appropriation of $4,000
the road has been built, and at no

the appropriation has been paid back
into the State Treasury, and we
have no State taxes this year.
: In February 1879, DR.. York was

bill authorizingthe consolidation of
the Western Railroad Company with
the Mt. Aairy Railroad Company

was called on the passage of this
