don't stop here. Keep right on until
you get to Patagonia.
Not long since met a farmer from
New England who had settled in this
state.
At time when every body else was
busy it was noticeable that he had
great deal of spare time, sufficient to tell
the story of his wrongs to every one who
would listen. He had been conspired
against and driven out from comfort
able place in the North.
Just at present he is very much pleased
with North Carolina, but next year it
will be the same old story over again.
he will find himself ill-used by his
neighbors, his crops won't turn out well,
and again the sympathetic listener will
have a chance to be bored to death by
the recital of his woes.
People are very much the same wher-
ever we find them. A man who doesn't
succeed in making friends in the North
won't make friends in the South. 1t
takes the same qualities to make valu-
able citizen of North Carolina that it
does in Massachusetts,.
LITTLE BUDGETS.
As one passes along the forest-border-
ed roads of North Carolina and sees
rank upon rank of magnificent trees he
wonders if such vast stores of lumber
can ever be exhausted. He goes on a
little farther, hears the buzz of saw, a
fire flames up, pungent smoke tingles
in his nostrils and the answer is at hand.
Millions of feet of lumber, in these great
piles of slabs, are annually wasted, ,puffed
away in a cloud of black smoke. 1t is
no poetry, but plain, prosy truth to say
that there are ships in the air, houses
in the clouds and neat little henneries
on every breeze. Why this wastee Why
not saw these thick slabs into laths.
The time will come, and that too before
very long. when this forest wealth will
not be such an embarrassment of riches
as it is now. Unless something is done
to prevent this destruction, North Caro-
lima will one day have occasion to mourn
a glory departed.
Southern iron is the great nightmare
Of the iron-mongers of Pennsylvania.
Iron in the South can be manufactured
at eight dollars ton less than it can be
manufactured anywhere in the North.
The result is Inevitable.
If you are in search of new sensa-
tion, try an unripe persimmon. 1t will
make you wonder what persimmons are
for.

LoRp RONALD COVER says that
Americans have little of that "disgust-
ing patronage of manner that prevails
in England among the richer classes"
and none of the "no less disgusting
cringiness that as greatly distinguishes
English merchants" On the contrary,
the New York shopkeeper receives you
With ciyility, but without any of that
manner which seems Ia Lord Ronald
little less insulting than actual insolence.
He will be equally civil if you purchase
or if you do not; but II you affect to
look down on him as being "only a
tradesman," he will probably show you,
says this tourist. something more in
being a citizen of great republic than
mere sound, and might be able to prove
10 you that one man is as good as an
other"

The estimated population OF Roumania is
somewhat less than $500, 900, though the
total number Of Roumanians is about
100000. They are scattered through the

Roumania owes its present independent
position to its friendship with Russia.
When the war broke out between that
country ani Turkey in 1877, Roumania
signed an agreement with the czar's govern

troops through Roumanian territory. Then.
while Turkey had her hands full, the
