Especial Correspondence Of the iSentinsl)
REIDsvILLE, n. c., Jan. %, 1884.
Almost every family possesses a
chronic growler which is born of old
Satan and sent into our midst to keep
back the sunshine of life. 1t would
be such blessing to mankind if in
building house there might be
growing attachment, (ike Dickens
has in Bleak House) where all the
fuses and misunderstanding could be
adjusted without upsetting the entire
family and sometimes the neighbor-
hood. Some men are SO hard headed
that it would be like moving a noun
tain to get them into this growing
room, which ought to be built, SO as
no sound might escape to the outside.
They would ever-so-much rather sit
and find fault right before the world.
I wonder if Congress would not take
the cause in hand if houses were built
that way and compel people to go in
that room to do their growing Bat
just suppose they all should get to
fighting and no one could hear them :?
[ guess it is best just as it is, for [
know if Thomas Jefferson had me out
of sight and hearing, sometimes when
his head actions is Influenced by
Satan, there is no telling what might
become of me. He's powerful man
for good appearances and no doubt a
great many growls are nipped in the
bud by some visitor coming in. Towns
have set of GROWERS too that's
mighty troublesome. These town
GROWERS have no opinion of their own,
but they generally sit off by them
selves and wait to see what Judge
Harris and Squire Bennett will say
about things, which may interest the
town and no sooner is a grunt of dis
appreciation made by these worthless,
than the irrepressible rabble take it
up and carry it without sense or rea-
son. Men GROWERS are ever-so much
more worrysome than female GROWERS.
Somehow another or somehow else it
is more adjustable to females. They
generally have better tongue action
than men and can say sharp, bitter
stinging things with more grace. Men
stumble in talking, which accounts
for the cuss words they use. They
have to use this stragegy to keep their
| ideas come cted and to enable them to
catch their breath, while most women
can be continually on the jaw from
early morn to dewy eve without sin
gle hitch in breath or voice, and in
the meantime, men use one single bad
word. Their jaw work is not always
growing, for l have sat and listened
for days at time, when my soul longed
for silence, at an old woman on the
tongue. She would tell stories Of by
gone years over and over again, until
[ would wonder if all the words she
spoke could be numbered, how many
would there be. She talked all the
teeth out of her mouth, but she was
ever gentle and kind to all and l never
knew her to growl. AUNT MAGGIE.

This is the Right Kind of Doctrine.

The lesson, then, taught the party
in 1882, we conceive to be simply this;
it must nominate candidates for office
around whom there is no shadow of
political corruption; men who are
known as men of worth, who owe their
nomination to no scheming, ringism
or bossism.

If all Democrats were like Senator
Vance, of North Carolina, they would
not be such bad fellows, after all.
There is great geniality and humanity
in Senator Vance, and no one tells a
better joke than he does. He also
enjoys good joke. The Norfolk
Virginian is authority for the state
ment that the Tar-heel Senator told
such winning jokes to President Ar
thur that he appointed Zeb Vance, Jr
a lieutenant in the United States army.

If the Democrats intend to elect the
next President of the United States,
they may as well make up their minds
that they have got to fight to do it.
1t has reason to be. Not for many
a year has the Democracy shown such
bold front to its ovcrweening foe,
nor exhibited so openly its determina-
ton to dispute its supremacy.
