OF NORTH CAROLINA.


This senator from North Carolina has en-
ioyed his present distinction since April "a,
1872 He was elected in January of that
year, and returned for the full term of six
years in 1876. Senator Matt w. Ransom
was born in Warren county, North Caroll-
ma, in 1926. He was graduated at the Uni
versity of North Carolina in lS47, and at the
same time admitted to the bar. His enter
prise as planter made him wealth and
gave him local distinction. He was attor-
general of North Carolina from 1852 to
1855 when he retired. In 1858, and again in
1860, he was elected to the legislature of the
State. He was member of the Mont
gomery Congress Of 1861. When the war
began he became lieutenant-colonel in the
Confederate army, from which he rose by
the successive steps Of colonel and brigadier-
general, to the rank of major-general He
laid down his arms with General Lee at Ap-
pomattoX.
In public as in private life, he enjoys the
confidence of the people of his State, and
ranks among the ablest members of the
United States Senate.

What think you would your grand-dames
feel were they to glance in at modern par
ty and see you whirling by, with some gay
cavalier, in one of the favorite round dances?
1 hope the girls in good time coming, will
not only cry, at the description of them,
how absurd but how disgusting!"
Squire Moore was a man always before the
people, and filled the various offices of trust
reposed in him, with ability to his State,
and satisfaction to his community. His
manners were urbane and his hospitality
unbounded. He had a fine person, COM
manding, almost stern appearance, and was
one of the few men of his day who always
wore black broad cloth suit, ruttied shirt
and high topped beaver hat. He had some
peculiar religious notions, but was, orthodox
in his faith, and died triumphant death in
the siXty-third year of his age. He was
buried in the Bethel graveyard, of which
church he had for years been a member.

Miss Latimer said no more, but accepted
the commission; and as good fortune would
have it, she was able to find purchaser for
the cross without sending it away. A gen
tleman, to whom she applied in confidence,
two-thirds it's original value; and Miss Lat
inner had the pleasure, two days afterwards,
of placing in Celestine's handsa sam which
would be sufficient for her expenses for some
weeks to come, at least, and thus stave off
the pressure of anxiety which now weighed
so heavily upon her.
She shed a tear or two in secret over the
sacrifice she had made but the pain it cost
her was trifling, compared with the pleasure
she felt in being able to render this assist
ance to one she loved.

TOBACCO AND THE VOICE.-While tobac-
co is now we'll known to injure the system
in every possible way, and to an extent not
generally appreciated, the voice is affected
more than may be supposed. 1t may not
be of much use to warn the enslaved victim
of tobacco to give it up, having as general
principle, lost much decision of character
by its degrading influence ; but it may be
we'll to warn the young, who may be willing
to receive advice from older persons. The
effect on the voice may be little more ap-
parent than upon certain other organs. On
this point there is the best medical authori-
ty in decided condemnation. DIR. Allen
says: "Tobacco Injuries the voice, of which
any one can be convinced by observing the
harsh, thick, husky, mumbling, and inson-
Orous voice Of the confirmed tobacco user.'
Prof. Mueso says: '"The habitual use of to-
bacco in any Of it's forms produces harsh,
condition of the voice." DIR.
Woodward, well known in connection with
the Massachusetts, Lunatic Asylum, is even
more direct in his opposition to the use OF
the poison, declaring hat ''nearly every
case of bronchitis and loss of voice is either
directly caused or aggravated by the habit
ual use of tobacco" The testimony of such
men, of great attainments in medical sci
ence-men of experience and observation
is entitled to consideration. Golden Rue.

center of the cyclone was that Of a system
of fiery balls as large as ones thumb, their
multitude greater than any human mind
could conceive, and in that apparent state
of ignition hustling through the air. This
experience of Mr.. Toler is shared by others
who were in it's midst, and almost every
one wrecked in the storm at La Crosse is
tatooed with bruises the size of a quarter
and half dollar, which must have been done
either by mass of pebbles heated to red
ness or by small bodies of some kind having
force enough to bruise but not to penetrate
the skin.
At the distance Of eight and ten miles the
flashes of electricity were so incessant and
the commotion of wind and thunder, and
possibly falling timber, as to almost par
alyze one with terror. Nearer at hand the
sounds were magnifed tenfold. with also an
additional accompaniment for the ears OF
those who were first beyond the edge of the
storm of millions of exploding bombs and
torpedoes-LiHle Rock Gazette.

A FINE COMPLEXION.

n TINE
TO soften and whiten the skin there is
nothing more beneficial than oatmeal, TAX
ken internally and used externally. AS I
have no wish to encroach upon the house.
wife's domain, Pr simply give directions
for its external use. After warm bath it
may be used dry, or pour boiling water over
a few teaspoonfuls of it, and let it stand a
few hours. On going to bed, wash the
hands and face freely in the starchy water,
and dry without wiping. Bran and Indian
meal may be used instead, with nearly the
same effect. For the full bath put the bran
or oatmeal into small bags, otherwise the
difficulty of removing the particles which
adhere to the skin is considerable.
Instead of the poultices of bread and ass
es' milk which the Roman ladies found so
ef1icaciOus for softening and whitening the
face, we may use a mask of quilted cotton
or chamois skin, wet in cold distilled wa
ter. This will not be the most comfortable
in the world, but no great excellence is ever
attained without labor and care. Many Ia
dies whose compilations are the envy of all
their friends, acknowledge that they owe it
all to distilled water, which they used for
their face and hands. Queen Victoria is to
be envied for one thing, if nothing else, for
she has the delightful comfort and luxury
of having distilled water for all her baths.
Ladies with oily or greasy skins may use,
sparingly, a few drops of camphor in the
bath. Borax and glycerine combined is
used with good effect by some people, while
thoroughly disagreeing with others. Glyc-
crime alone softens and heals, but in time
will darken the skin and make it over-sen-
sitive; the borax obviates this, and has
tendency to whiten. No toilet table is COM
plete without bottle of ammonia. A few
drops of this in the bath cleanses the skin
and stimulates it wonderfully. 1t is espe-
cially valuable in removing the Odor from
those who perspire freely.
10 remove tan and sun-burn, cold cream,
mutton tallow and lemon juice may be used;
for freckles apply the latter, with q, tiny
camel's hair brush. The country girl, de-
prived of many things which her city cousin
finds indispensable, discovers that she can
remove tan from her face with wash made
of green cucumbers sliced into skim milk,
or, failing in this, she makes decoction of
buttermilk and tansy.
A Well-known writer on feminine beauty
recommends the use of Underground French
charcoal for the complexion. A teaspoon
full OF this, we'll mixed with water or honey,
should be taken for three successive nights,
followed by simple purgative, to remove
it from the system. The aperient must not
be omitted or the charcoal will remain in
the system, a mass of fostering poison, with
all the impurities it absorbs.
None of these things will bring about the
desired result unless the foundation is first
laid by proper food, exercise and bathing {;
above all things do not neglect the bath.
Cleanliness is one of the cardinal virtues,
and woman fresh from the bath feels a
good deal like an angel.-Dio Le,cis.

GRAspING Too MUCH.-It has occasioned
surprise to the readers of modern history
that Philip II. of Spain failed to conquer
the revolted provinces of the Netherlands.
He was the most powerful monarch OF the
age. Under him were the most celebrated
generals of the day, the Duke Of Alive and
the Prince of Parma, who commanded the
finest and best disciplined soldiers in Eu-
rope. His revenue, drawn principally from
the New World, was much larger than that
of any other monarch of his time.
But he was beaten on land and at sea by
a few Dutch States, with little wealth and
less discipline, and was compelled to cede
their independence. Spain soon after set
tied into a third-rate power. He failed, like
great spectators to-day, by grasplng at too
much.
He longed to be sovereign of all Europe,
and built the Armada to subdue England,
and gathered an army to conquer France.
Had he been content with subduing the re-
volted cOlonists, the work might easily have
been carried through. Butwhen the Prince
ofParma had fine army equal to the emer-
gency, Philip, instead of supporting it, law
ished all his treasures on the expeditions
against England and France, and accom-
plished nothing. The Prince begged inn
Fortunately for money, but Philip sent it
where it did little good, and the Prince, dis
heartened was able to accomplish little.
Grasping too much, the King lost all.
THE ART OF ADvERTIsING.-The news
paper has become the legitimate inheritor
of the patronage Of advertisers. 1t offers
advantages that no other vehicle possesses,
and it costs less than most others. 1t can
not now be assumed that the advertising
pages of paper are so carefully read as the
news portions, but it has gradually educated
the reader to look for what he or she wants
in the advertising columns, and those who
read the paper quietly at home are far more
inclined to go over their wants and look
where to supply them, than the man in the
street who is probably thinking more ofsell-
ing his own goods than of buying his neigh
boris. Then the scope of this method of ad-
vertsing is almost endless. Ittakes in busi-
ness cards or two line notices, or it may COW
er an entire page, and there is chance for
literary display. Many large business houses
keep a gentleman Of education and skill in
literary matters to superintend this depart
ment of their business, and it is wonderful
how much he can find to say on what would
seem to be a hackneyed subject. Indeed,
the art of advertising is to be always fresh
and new, yet clear and concise, to be humor-
Gus when humor will tell, but to be plain
and direct. The nearer an advertisement
harmonizes with the general drift of the pa
per the more likely it is to be read and make
an impression.-,Snn HdnriscO CW.
