Secretary LincoIn's Position.

1t is evident that Secretary Lincoln
will be nominated for Vice President
at Chicago, unless the candidate for
President shall be taken from his
State, or he shall peremptorily decline
the honor. While there is the widest
diversity of opinion as to the head of
the ticket, there is practical unanimi-
ty in favor of Lincoln for the second
place,
Indeed, so strong is Lincoln as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency
that the friends of every Presidential
boom seek to borrow his plumes by
coupling his name with each and all
of the favorites for the head ofthe tick
ct. Blaine and Lincoln; Edmunds
and Lincoln; Grant and Lincoln
Arthur and Lincoln; Hawley and
Lincoln; Sherman and Lincoln; are
common combinations; and it would
doubtless be Logan and Lincoln but
for the fact that one Gtate is not bis
enough under the Constitution tc
hold both candidates.

The Old Catholic Movement in Italy.

The old Catholic mo> ment in Italy
has this winter received considera-
BILE impetus by the adhesion of one OF
the Pope's domestic prelates, Monsig-
nor Glambattista Savarese. He has
lately completed course of confer
ences on the subject in Rome, held on
Sundays, which were well attended by
both Italians and, English. He and
Count Campello formerly one Of the
canons of st. Peter's) together con-
duct the services in the Old Catholic
Church, 1S Via Geneva, Rome, Father
Curci, who, unlike them, works for re-
form within the Romish pale, has
come under the Papal censure, though
he has as yet escaped excommunica-
ton. In his last work, "Il Vaticano
Regio"-of which it is hoped that a
translation may before long appear in
England-he sets forth the evils accru-
ing to the Church from the policy pur-
sued at the Papal Court. His opinion
has all the more weight as coming
from one who was for fifty years an
ornament of the Jesuit Order, from
which he was cashiered not long ago
from the liberality OF his opinions and
his advocacy of the overthrow Of the
temporal power as cargo heavy
enough to sink the bark OF st. Peter.

Proving their Fidelity to Temperance

The Crump Label Company of
Montclair, N. j., has informed all its
customers who are in any way con-
nected with the liquor trade that it
will hereafter accept no orders from
them for printing labels for liquor,
wine, beer, or cider. The notification
is in form Of copy of resolutions
adopted last Wednesday by the direc-
tors of the company. One of the di-
rectors said
"We employ between $50 and 400
hands, and there are not more than
half dozen of the men who have not
signed the temperance pledge. Some
of them were hard drinkers. When
the present temperance awakening
struck Montclair, and our men began
to feel its influence, we felt as though
the company ought to do something
too.
"a company can't take the pledge
but this company could show its de-
sire to be with the men by refusing tc
work for the liquor trades. So itt
President, Samuel Crump, promised
for the company that no more work O
that kind should be taken. We have
been making for one liquor firm abou
100000 labels year. About $40,
900 worth of business year is wha
this decision will cost the company

In the old biographies North Caro-
lima had the credit for tar. pitch and
turpentine, and the illustration for
our State was tar kiln. Things
moved very slowly for century, for
before the Revolution, North Carroll
ma had just such pre-eminence. But
now it would be difficult to say whrt
this State is pre-eminent in. The en-
ergies of the people have been awak-
ened TO every industry, and the State
takes the lead in many things, and
stands side by side with all others in
almost everything She leads in fine
tobacco, she stands high in cotton, i'll
rice she is at the head in quality,
though not in quantity +; in wheat, she
makes the best in the world, if weight
be the criterion in wines she has no
equal in silk, she has become the
chosen field for American experiment,
and there is not cereal that does not
find a favored soil. Then there are
here the finest timbers on the conti-
nent, the best iron ores in the United
States, the richest gold mines east oi
California, and now the opening oi
the most valuble tin veins outside oi
Cornwall.
Truly this is great State.-Ash-
vile Citizen.

MSssic0l Note,

Gabe SnodgrasS was arrested for dis
turbing the peace and quiet ofan Aus
tin neighborhood. He did not actu-
ally make the noise himself, but he
created the row by kicking his wife,
which caused her to weep so vocifer-
ously that the neighbors imagined
there was church choir practicing
in the immediate vicinity. Her
screams we're so loud that o crowd at
saloon ten blocks distant, put their
untouched glasses back on the bar,
and rushed to the door.
When Gabe was brought up before
the Recorder, he expressed conside-
bic surprise. The injured wife was al
so present.
"What do you mean by kicking your
wife in such brutal manner?"
"Whose wife does yer want me ter
kickg"asked Gabe, protruding his low
er lip.
You should notkick anybody"
Gabe assumed stage attitude, and
emphasized every word with the most
extravagant gestures:
1ll try and 'splain it teryey. Foah
God, I hardly teched herwd de toe of
my boot. De kick l CUB her wouldn't
hurt fly. Hits her voice what's ter
blame. When she sings out, you hear
her talk for miles. Am | ter blame
bekase Matildy's got 40-hoss power
lungs?"
His honor shook his head, as much
as to say that the explanation was
about as thin as some of the explana-
tions made by the indicted New York
city officials.
oyer don't believe me, does yer,
Judge?"
His Honor shook his head, and
smiled.
''Well, I'll jess show yer" and lifting
up foot of about the size of a canvass
covered ham, before the policeman
could interfere, Gabe planted kick
in the small of MatiIda's back that
might have iolted Jumbo. Matilda
threw open her mouth so that it re-
sembled the circus pictures of the
hippopotamus, and then she emitted
wall that might have created envy
in the bosom of a steam whistle. II
caused two teams in front Of the court
house to run away, and made the
Judge hold his hands to his ears.
"Dar," exclaimed Gabe Didn't
tole yer SO. Is yer gwinter punish me
bekase dat nigger's got sopranel
voice. Is | ter blame bekase she's 6
gifted vocalist? Has ! got ter take
her out inter de middle ob de stakeC

His Honor dismissed the case
against Gabe, but suggested that they
should endeavor to cultivate harmony
in the family circle

A general bankruptcy act is now
under consideration by the Senate.
1t proposes to give the United States
District Courts jurisdiction in all
bankruptcy cases, which appeal to the
Circuit Courts on disputed questions
of law. The machinery of the new
bankruptcy act is to be under the
charge of Commissioners of Bank
ruptcy, appointed by the Circuit
Courts, the number of commissioners
not to exceed the number OF Con-
gressmen in any State. There is to
be Supervisor of Bankruptcy for
each circuit also appointed by the
Circuit Courts, who is to have the
power of inspecting all bankruptcy
proceedings much as Bank Examin-
ers have the power to inspect the
books and condition of the national
banks.
That some wise legislation on this
subject is needed is evident to prison
every cognizant of the business condi-
ton under our contradictory and mad
equate State laws. The laws relative to
insolvency proceedings in each State
are different from the laws of every
other State on the same subject; the
amount exempt from levy and execu-
ton are dissimalar and the laws re-
lative to preferred or judgment credit
ors are the most contradictory of all,
To bring some kind of order out of
this Legislative chaos on so important
a subject may well occupy the efforts
and thoughts of the wisest and most
judicious of our national Legislators.
The bill beforesthe Senate may an
swer the needed purposes as we'll as
another if properly guarded but it
should not require a crowdS Of new
officials to carry it on. The machin-
cry of the lsw is not so important as
efficient restrictions against fraud un-
der its provisions. The old bank
ruptcy law became an engine to drive
honest men out of business and to
make rascals rich. This should be
guarded against by every possible
means in the new act if new act il
to be passed at all. No man should
be allowed, under its provisions, to get
an immence stock OF goods on credit
sell them below cost for cash sbefore
the bills become due, then go into
voluntary bankruptcy, pay ten cents
on the dollar and pocket the balance
of the proceeds from the sales of the
goods and have clean discharge
from all his debts. This was practic
ed in numerous instances under the
old law, and the new one should rem
der this kind of racality impossible o.
or there should be no new law at all

The Southern Forest Fires.

The forest fires which have recently
swept over parts of North and South
Carolina proved much more destruct-
i've than was at first supposed. In
Moore, Robson, Johnston, Cumber-
land, Pender and Richmond counties,
in the former State, and in Richland
and other counties of South Carolina,
vast extent OF territory was burned
over, the flames destroying everything
in their track-houses, saw-mils,
churches, fencing and timber--and
driving the people, helpless and desti-
tute, to the swamps for shelter. In
some sections, turpentine orchards,
containing from 5000 to 10000 trees,
were burned, and the lumber industry
has been practically ruined. In Rich
land County, S. c., the fire utterly de-
stroyed the turpentine timber on
thousands of acres OF land barns and
smokc-houses, with their years supply
Of meat, corn and fodder, were con-
sumed, and mules, hogs and cattle
were overtaken by the lurions flames
and roasted to death. The farmers
lost their stores of fertilizers, and even
their poultry were cooked in the
sweeping fires. Nota panel of fencing
was left in the ten miles range OF the
| fire. The horrors of the situation Of
the dwellers in the burning forests
fighting tho flames foot by foot, only
to be driven away at last, stripped o.
everything, can be imagined, perhaps
but not adequately described.

DO Girls Swear?

Most any girl who is frank will tell
you yes that most girls do swear up
on occasion is not shocking, except as
all swearing is shocking, and that any
bad done by the weaker sex is worse
than if done by ours. l must not be
censured for that publication; the
ladies themselves enforce it. There
are things which for them to know
have been done by father, husband,
brother, or son simply cause a smile.
To even suspect the same things done
by any woman they loved would un-
speakably horrify them. Girls swear
as they smoke cigarettes, when nobody
is about, and because they think it
does them good. There may be other
girls to hear them, but girls do not
count with girls as anybody when
beaux and dress are not in dispute.
They keep their swearing as secret
qualification, for no one is better salts
fled than themselvers how badly the
habit would fit them. For it is not a
habit. If it were, they would once in
while lose control of themselves and
let out their little oaths before gentle
men, and that they never do. All
women and girls are actresses, but all
actresses sometimes momentarily for
get their parts. The swearing of girls
such as it is, is mere declaration of
power and independence; we can
swear if we choose, and we will swear
when we want to. But they are care
full, very careful, as to the when and
where. No girl ever swears when real
angry. Then she cries. Swearing is
a weapon she does not know how to
use. Her swearing means nothing.
1t never even goes up as high as the
big d. 1t is all small very small DIS
and combination of genuine oaths
SO mixed that all their vigor is gone.
A girl, even if held up by half dozen
other girls, would be afraid to ring out
as loud as she could, a string of first
class, Al oaths. A thousand times
rather all alone with a mouse than
thatl
