together they were successful. "Ms
wife helped me nobly," he said, il
talking over his wonderful SUCCESS.
"She travelled all over the district
with me, and it was so large a one
that it took many weeks to cover it
once, and her quiet talk among the
women aud the men, too, did vers
much in helping me in the tremend-
Gus fight | had to make. We would
drive about the district, and when We
would come to a big rock or tree
and there are plenty of both there-I
would paint on 1t in big letters "Vote
for Budd." When We would find a
little knot of miners we would stop
and chat with them, my wife among
the women and babies and I talking
to the men. The result was that We
were successful, and the worst sur
prised man on the day after the elect
ion was the Republican candidate on
the other side, who had no sort of

A Peculiarly North Carolina Custom
Portland Me- Transcrfpt

1t is the custom in North CaroIina
to whitewash the hearths and jambs
Of their fire-places each morning of
the season when fires are built in them.
The wash that is used in the central
part of the State is made by pouring
hot water Oh a whitish clay that is
found in the bed of the creeks. The
object of this ceremony it is difficult
to understand, as the natural color OF
the bricks, at the places where we have
observed it, is more pleasant than the
muddy color of the wash, which is put
on with swab, often welded by
heavy and inar,istic hand. Carpets
and rugs and mantels are apt to get a
share of the treatment, at their edges,
and whoever sits by the fire is likely
to get the whitewash upon his cloth
ing. Doubtless this custom had some
reasonable origin. Can any of our
readers inform us if it is practiced in
other States? We have never seen
traces of it elsewhere.

and the delicate Havana for those that
indulge, together with the music, re-

happy occasion. The guests, of whom
there were many, were, with very few

Eutt0T Hefdtd.
DEAR sIR:-As we hav'nt seen any,
thing lately in THE HERALD from the
village of Bloomington, / thought |
would send in a few lines. We are
waiting with breathless suspense for
the time to pass when the frost will not
do any damage to our large corn crop.
Ii the frost should take our corn you
may look for quite number of regul-
ar boarders out at the big house where
they keep people who have no visible
means of support, but from the present
outlook | think our corn will be all
right. Business is reviving some and
we look for good trade this fall We
have been having a lively time in our
school matters. We had voted five
thousand dollars for new school-house
to be placed in the public square, but
some of our sterile old heads who are
closer than the hide on lean pup, got
together and voted the whole matter
out OF existence. But it is only temper
airy, because the well wishers of our
school will get the thing voted back
again. 1t is very singular how easily
some men can be influenced when il
comes to five cents out of their pockets.
For the last three or four weeks
Bloomington has been entertained with
quite a number of performances, Oper-
attic, negro minstrel and peep-shows.
The last | think was the most beautiful
l ever had the pleasure to behold. The
scene was located in Arbor where their
hammock swung loose at the sport of
the Wind but delighted and kissful
they passed their hours away with none
to hinder or make them afraid. But
we cant dwell any longer on the har-
rowing scene, our feelings won't admit
of it. Items of interest at present are
scarce. Mrs, Vogt was kicked by a
colt, last Wednesday and had one bone
in her arm broken which was attended
to by DIR. Lewis of Bloomington.
Miss Mary McNamn was thrown
from buggy last Sunday and sustained
fracture of the collar bone which was
attended to by DIR. Sala.
Thursday night three men went home
from town feeling quite funny up
set their buggy and threw them out, but
owing to the looseness of their muscu-
lar systems received but little damage
except bunged noses.
One of your great horse traders by
the name of OFT Stevens was in town
the other evening and succeeded in
cheating one of the boys out of a blood
ed mare worth about a dollar and a
quarter Tell OFT to be careful how he
comes out here and gets away with the
boys.
Mrs. Sam Woodhouse and her son
Folck have gone to southern Illinois on
visit for about two weeks duration.
Mrs. +. Geer returned last Wednes-
day from Sibley where she has been
visiting her sister for two months.
Prof. Barrett has gone TO Mt. Hope
to take charge of their school for the
next school year.
Fred Stevens who is in the employ
of ID. +. Brown & Co is at homo on
short visit.
