AIr. RiddIeberger, vic is announc

Mr.. RiddIeberger, who is announc-
cd to speak at Island Park tomorrow
for Blaine, said two years ago:
"Blaine has a peculiar record of hos
tility to the South, and as a slandcrcr
of Southern men and women he en-
joys a reputation among the radicals
of the North second tonobody.
lie is the most malignant of the
haters and slanderers of Virginia and
the South. Blaine has the
worst reputation as a political cor
ruptionist known to the annals of
Congress. He is the pc
culiar pet of the monopolists and lob
byists of Wall street and Washing
ton. -

A very tame Republican meeting
was held at the Courthouse in this
place on Thursday night last, at
which addresses were delivered by
Messrs. p. A. Rohrbaugh, Geo. L.
Evans and Geo. w. Feidt, of Mar
tinsburg. The principal themes of
the speakers were the amount of
money borrowed from the school
fund, (not stolen, as have been mil
lions from the national treasury, } and
the rcassessment question directed
at the farmer, although there were
not four farmers presently. Before
the close of the meeting most of the
white people present took their de-
parturc, and even a number of the
coIored brethren followed their ex-
ample and did likewise. One Rcpub-
lican friend present sent us word
across the room that he would now
vote the Democratic ticket. A few
more such meetings will benefit the
Democratic party here immensely.

The Democratic State and County
Executive Committees in West Viz
ginia arc determined to enforce the
law to the fullest extent in regard to
all q Offenses relating to Elections. y
We therefore caution all parties
against attempting to vote illegally,
procuring bad votes to be admitted
orgood ones rejected, deccivlngvoters
by altering ballots, using force or in
timidation, bribery, treating voters
on election day, selling or giving
away liquors on said day, being drunk
at or near the place of voting, &C..
for which offenses penalties are pro-
Vidcd CT imprisonment i'll Jail or pen
itentiary, and fines from $40 to SIS, 900.
We have it upon good authority
that one Karicofe, new light from the
sacred rcadjuster precincts of Rock
ingham county in Virginia, who has
been making himself conspicuous in
Republican politics at Kearneysville,
told a Democratic voter of that Sec
ton that he would work for the Dem
ocrats if they would give him a
thousand dollars. The patriotism of
Republicans appears on the surface
once in while, and this is fair
sample of many more in the ranks of
that party. Will any honest voter of
Jefferson give heed to the speeches
of a man who would make such a
proposition? We hope not

EFFECT ON THE MARKET.

The effect upon the naval store market
caused by last weeks fires cannot even be
guessed at with accuracy. But that 1t
will have an effect there can be no doubt.
The greater part of the country lying near
the railroads between Wilmington and
Hamlet between Hamlet and Sanford, and
between Charlotte and Columbia has been
worked to a considerable extent, but by
no means exhausted The fire in Moore,
Montgomery and Cumberland and in South
Carolina went in several places through
virgin forests.
The annual value of the naval store
products is about 81 900. 600. 1t is hardly
rash to guess that nearly million dollars
worth of property has been destroyed.
But all this, of course. is not properly a
part of the naval store product. Lumber
comes in for a considerable share
Undoubtedly the price Of rosin and tur
pentine will be higher this year than it
would have been. But the more deplora-
BILE fact is the heavy individual loss Of
many operators, who are in a state of
practical bankruptcy; and even worse, for
they have now no means of making a liv-
ing for this year They are not farmers:
they were entirely dependent on the trees.
The trees are burned, and they are in a
sad plight.

Old University Romance.

Nrs. c. p Spencer, IN the University Monthly.
The families that came into Chapel Hill
and settled round the infant University
were in all probability very plain people.
They came to take boarders, and to live by
some dependence, direct or indirect, on
the college. The first person we hear OF
who came here to educate her son was a
widow ladv of Scotch blood and birth,
whose husband, William Hooper of Hills
boro had been the son of our Congress
man. the signer of the Declaration Of In
dependence, of the same name. Mrs.
Hooper established herself in the house
nov occupied by her grand daughter, Mrs.
J. deb Hooper. The President Of the
University, DR.. Caldwell, was then a
rrtdower living in the house occupied now

Othello's Occupation Gone.
Special Correspondence Of the Chronicle

CHARLOTTE, April 10.-One of the new
big things in Charlotte is the Charlotte
Steam Laundry. That the enterprise, un-
der its present management is a success is
evident from the agencies which the pro-
prietor has established in different parts
of the State, all around for one hundred
miles in some directions, for receiving and
forwarding work to the laundry, by which
families get reduced rates of freight. 1t
uses a three horse boiler, three Wardens
patent washing machines, one Tyler bosom

one Rhyston mangle for ironing table

Greensboro, AprH 1.
First of all you want one or both Of the
foremost American monthlies-IHe Cen
tu1y (7He Century Publishing Co., New
York;, or Ha1per's NonthIy Harper Bros,
New York; The difference between them
is greatly difference of personal taste.
They are both excellent-as everybody
knows. There is nothing more beautiful
in periodical literature than The N0g0zine
of art, (Cassell & Co., New York; Then
you want a semi-weekly or weekly of a New
York daily. Your selection of this is to a
certain extent also matter of individual
taste and of political feeling The .Sun
Dem.) The Times and The Tribune (both
Rep are the best You could not do bet
ter than to add to your list The Current, a
masterful weekly review of American
events, published in Chicago.
For the children young or old) two pc
riodicals which lead the world are St.
Nicholas (1He Century Co., New York;
and IVideAecake %. Appleton & Co.,
Boston,. They are both monthlies, and
both marvels. In fact, the literary and
artistic work done for them has never been
excelled in periodical literature. If you
wish a Juvenile weekly instead of a
monthly or in addition to it, get Hu1per's
Young People-a capital publication. If
you care to add an illustrated weekly,
Ha1per's is the best; if you wish humor-
Gus publication, the best that has ever
been published in the world is Life, (New
York; which however cost So year.
OF English periodicals, the Saturday
ReoieO is the old standard weekly. 1t is
often very heavy, however and you
might subscribe to the weekly edition OF
| the London Times or the Telegraph.
From these suggestions you can make
up a very complete list, which will not
| cost more than $25. For exact prices
consult you bookseller. By subscribing
to so many at once, you can get reduc

Negro Mob Possibilities.

In Georgia a negro whose latest name
la John Smith has issued a number of cir
cl.ar, which read as follows
''AII coIored men are still oppressed.
We are still under the heel of the whites.
Mess We fight for our rights, we will be
l4 slavery again in two years. Now IS the
time to fight. General Grant has promis-
ea to send US an army from the North to
sweep our white tyrants from the face of
the earth The North will send US money
and weapons. Rise fellow in your
might We outnumber the whites three
20 one. Let us sweep them from the face
oL the earth. Remember the chains of
slavery. Remember the whips and the
auction block. Our liberty can only be
saved BY a great uprising. Now is the
tme-now is the hour. The colored men
OF Georgia are ready. Join us, my broth
ers Come one; come all"
The fool hasn't created much excitement,
however; and beyond an attempt to ar
rest him as a probable maniac, no action
mas been taken.

DIR. Gatling Tells how he Came TO In
vent the GatIins Gun.

DR.. Gatling. the inventor of the Gatling
gun, as everybody knows is native of
Eastern North Carolina. In a recent
Washington letter TO the Cleveland Leddev,
the story of his invention and its success
is told III an interesting way. DR.. eating
said
I'm 1861 | was living at Indianar oils
One surprise TO me was that the number
of men killed by sickness and disease was
more than those killed by ball or actual
battle. One day | remember nineteen
corpses We're landed at the depot; three
had been killed in battle. The thought
then struck me if a gun could be invented
that would do the work of Il hundred men
and would require but a few men to oper-
ate it. that the horrors of war would be
greatly diminished, and an end would
come much sooner OF every struggle. The
thought took such hold Of me that | com
menced to work on it at once. The result
was the Gatling gun.
''My first guns We're made in Cincinnati,
and they would fire from $50 to $50 shots
per minute. l had six Of them manufac-
tured in 1862, when the foundry was
burned. Next | had thirteen guns made
at what is now the type foundry in Gin
cinnati, and these | sent to Washington
to persuade the Government to buy them.
The Chief of the Ordnance Department
at the time was an old fogy. He had no
faith in the gun, and believed the flint
lock muskets, were on the whole, the best
weapons for warfare. Ben Butler bought
them on his own responsibility, giving his
voucher for $12, 900 for them Ben But
Ter took the guns he had bought with him
to the battle of Petersburg and fired them
himself. They created great consterna-
ton and slaughter, and the news Of them
went all over the world. Now they are
used by all the leading governments of
Europe and also in Asia and Africa.
! They enabled the Prussians to conquer
Austria in 1860, though the Austrians had
the larger forces, and they shortened the
war by Germany and France so that it
practically lasted but few days.
The Gatling gun is now made in Hart
ford in this country, and in Europe at
Observation-Disclosures | sell only to
| governments and the United States uses
many of my guns. They now take part
in all wars and you have seen the reports
of the work they have done in Egypt.
The Gatling gun will send ball from two
| to three miles.
''We can aim the gun at a plank nailed
to a support several thousand yards away,
and by moving the gun rapidly along
while firing we can cut a line through the
board as though it were sawed. No two
bullets leave the gun a the same time,
but when you consider tEat 1, 200 shots are
fired in minute you will0see how rapidly
and regularly it works.
