A Miscellaneous Collection that Shows the
Hum efous Side of Life In TarheeIia.
From the Ne,o Berns Journal.

Yesterday there was regular set
to between a niger and mule on
South Front street. The mule refused
to 90 ahead with load of slabs; the
driver was determined that he should,
and with assistance showed the dray
forward on him until, finding resist
ance was of no avail, he broke for a
run and dashed into Maj. Dennison's
mill yard, but probably thinking the
slabs were intended for use there, he
turned about, took the street, spilling
some of the slabs as he went, until he
reached his position on the spot of the
first encounter where he again made
halt and another competitionofstrength
aud stupidity ensued when the un-
loading of the dray led the mule to
think the driver had thrown up the
sponge he galloped off with a trium-
phant air up Hancock street towards
the depot to see if the steam horses
were treated any worse. This exhibit
tion attracted at least 200 colored peo-
pie, who with great unanimity ejacu-
lated, "Dat's what makes me 'spise
| mule"

The Elizebeth City Economist this
week brings one of the best of hun
dred good stories that it is recently
brought. Court was in session in
Hyde. Solemnly Judge Gudger sat
on the bench and solemnly the law
yers were proceeding with business.
A word was whispered through the
court room. Lawyers and clients and
listeners got restless. The crowd be-
gan to run out. The lawyers gradu-
ally followed, their clients at their
heels. Presently one grand rush emp
tied the courthouse and Judge and
jury were alone. 1t was herse race,
and Comet beat "Grey Bob"

! Everybody in Hyde county is named
Gibbs that amt named Spencer. A
traveller came into the country for the
first time and was introduced around,
and went through the country on his
business, and when he got home from
travelling all through Hyde County,
and had formed the acquaintance of
all the people, said that every man he
met was Gibbs or Spencer, except two,
who were introduced by their full

The ticket is one that will inspire
confidence and arouse enthusiasm.
The men who compose it are so dis
tinguished for ability and purity of
character that by their election the con-
tinuance of good government, with
which we have been blessed since the
accession of the Democratic party, is
assured. The contrast between this
ticket and the one set up by the mon
grel crew under the direction of Mott

One of the most curious instances OF
how matters, apparently the most re-
mote, react upon each other, is found IN
the distress occasioned in the rural popu-
lation of West Virginia by the Franco
Chinese war, owing to the fact that the
market for ginseng is closed, or dulled,
and the price has fallen by a large per-
centage. .u
The mountain people of the Ale
ghany highlands, from Pennsylvania TO
Tennessee, have long been accustomed,
in early spring and late fall, to dig the
root of this plant, and prepare it toi
sale by scalding and cleaning. 1t was
then sold to the country merchants, and
served as almost the only means by
which the rude dwellers in the interior
of the mountains got any ready money,
or its equivalent in the few "store'
goods" they consumed. Twenty-Five
wears and more ago, the root was worth
only about thirty cents pound, ant
every little trading centre would expor
four or five thousand pounds annually
Latterly, however, the mountains be
came so depleted that the root rose to
dollar pound in value.
With the exception of a trifie used IL
our pharmacy, the whole demand TO
this herb comes from the Chinese, Ii
whose medicinal arts 1t stands almos
first in importance. 1t is not only re
garded as a panacea, but prepared TO
use in nearly every way physician cal
contrive, but takes superstitious rank
chiefly through the fancied resemblance
seen in the gnarled pieces Of root to hu
man faces, and variety of other forms
earthly and celestial.

Chanfrau, the Actor.

The sudden death of Frank s. Chan
frau removes from the dramatic profess
sion one of the old-time favorites OF
New York. He was born sixty years
ago in ''The Old Tree House." that
stood on the corner of Pell street and
the Bowery, and thirty odd years ago
he made the town ring with his lmper-
sonation of the fireman Nose, in "A
Glance at New York." played at Nit
chell's Olympic, than which no greater
local success has been achieved on our
boards since. Mr.. Chanfrau was an ex-
traordinary mimic, and his impersona-
tions of Edwin Forrest and other emil
nent actors with whom he was contempo-
raneous were for long time a source
of amusement to theatre-goers. During
the last ten years of his life he was
identified with the play of exit, the
Arkansas Traveller" which he played
all over the country. Chanfrau tirs'
appeared as Nose, and ever afterWaro
Cbanfrau and Nose became almos'
synonomous. 1t is said that the actor
first idea of this character struck hin
while in a city restaurant. A regula
old rounder of a fireman came IN
"Give me a plate of pork and beans,
he said, ''and don't stop to count q
beans. either" Chanfrau noted tn
makeup, the style and intonation OF tn
man. and made up his Nose from Il
There is scarcely city or town OF an
Importance in the United States wher
Chanfrau has not been, and whel
Nose has not carried by storm thos

messy bank as if his performance gave
him intense satisfaction. Then he con-
siders himself fairly intr oduced, and,
taking wing, rises in the air, flying uI
in spiral circles, each growing smaller
as he ascends. During this flight he
utters low, sweet, cooling noise. After
sailing about in series of aerial somer

The Law of Corporations.

A corporation is an artificial concern
created by law, and empowered to do
certain specific things.
1t is like a partnership, and both are
commonly called companies, but they
are really very different.
Each partner in firm is liable for all
the debts of the firm, while a stock
holder in most corporations OF the
present lay, rl1II44od undo tho principle
of limited liability, can only lose what
he puts in.
A member Of a corporation cannot
make a bargain for it, but one partner
can bind his firm.
A corporation can only DO such bus
mess, an make such contracts, as its
charter allows, while firm can do all
kinds of business.
While a corporation must not do bus
mess outside the limits of its charter,
some discretion is permitted.
A glass manufacturing company may
buy glass of another company to sell
again at profit. A ferry boat company
having an extra boat, may rent to an
other company.
A fire insurance company, however.
cannot go into life insurance, nor can
railroad co npany go into the banking
business, or run a stage line.
They can make such contracts only al
are really adapted to the object stated il
their charter.
When corporation has made con
tract that it had no right to make, j
may refuse to fulfil its part of the agree
ment even when it has received the ful
advantage of it.
For example, if mining compan.
should hire men to build a railway,
could refuse to pay for the road after
was built. This rule of law was prot
ably in the mind of the old law write
who said that "a corporation hat
neither a body to be kicked nor sol
to be lost.
Corporations make their bargain
