North Carolina Minerals.

A North Carolina farmer of Cabarrus
county suddenly found himself rich the
other day, when he was offered $50
bushel for 1900 bushels of a sand and
gravel mound on his farm. The dirt
was more profitable at that price than
any farm product he could raise on his
land, but he was as sharp rs old Farm
er Rogers. the North Carolina farmer of
"Esmeralda, F." ana didn't take it, The
gravel mound is as full of wealth as the
dirt pile of Dickens golden dustman,
and the latest improved machinery is
to be put in TO work a gold mine. The
discovery came about in this way The
farmer knew the mound, and knew of
an old hole near it which had been fill
ed up by the drift of years. He wished
to make a dry, gravelly front yard for
his house, and hauled some cart loads
of the mound and spread it before his
door. The rains washed it, and he found
among the gravel IA nugget of gold that
weighed an ounce This opened his
eyes. Then he scraped up the gravel
and it "panned out" %@2J in rough pick
ings. Then he took Il bushcl of the
mound, ground it to powder IN mortar
and it yielded S125, which showed hn
good sense in not taking 800 bushel
for it. Then the Oldest inhabitant o.
Carbarrus, nigh on to hundred, sud
denly recolected a story told him, wher
he was boy, by his grandfather. about
an Englishman who lived in Raleigh be
fore the Revolutionary fines, digging
pit, finding pile of gold and going
home to coin it, TIE pit was on this
very Cabarrus farm and the mound was
made from the diggings. The lucky
Englishman worked the mine in the
rough took out the biggest yellow
chunks and left the smaller nuggets and
rich dirt for the farmer, and the name of
this sudden millionaire is Bob Paul.
He will work the mine for oil it is
worth, and would not take for the Eng

gold pieces as would pave every inch

Archibald Forbes Relates How
he Was Granted a Russian Dec.

From the English Illustrated Magazine.
The Schipka Pass had been in Rus
san possession for quite a month, but
no plan of it had yet been made. The
emperor said at once, "Ignatief, go and
fetch paper and pencil" Ignatieff went,
and there remained the emperor and
myself alone together, standing oppo-
site to each ether, with a little green
baize table between us. The thought
that drifted across my mind as we stood
there looking into each others faces was
that, emperor of Russia as he was, nc
consideration that the world could offer
would tempt me to change places with
man so oppressed by ills.
AS we so stood, he listening TO me
talking, there came into his face for
heeting moment strange, troubled ex-
preston, which seemed to reveal the
sudden thought What chance for
this man to kill mel" The plan was
soon completed, and az skepticalIy look
ing it over The emperor said
Mr. Forbes, said he he spoke IL

"No, sir" said 1, IN the cavalry Of

most part conversant with military
draughtsmanship

not as an officer but as private trooper;

his majesty the impression that the
honest British dragoon is habitually
skilled in plan making.
When at length l was permitted to
take my leave, the emperor addressed to
me some words which gave me natu-
raj glow of great pleasure. As they had
reference to certain conduct of my own,
the reader will readily understand the
lelcacy and reluctance with which |
allude to them; nor certainly would
cite them but that the expressions used
by the emperor illustrates with what
dignity and gracefuiness he could ac-
knowledge service that commended it
self to the Observation-Disclosures he felt for
his gallant soldiers. Mr. Forbes,
said the ear, Il have had reported to
me the example which you showed when

der heavy fire. As the head of the

Bishop Hare's Views of the Crow Creek
Reservation.

Chicago Tribune: The administration j.
embarrassed in its position on the Grow
Creek reservation matter by the receipt OF
a letter from Bishop Hare, who so urgently
protested against the violation OF Indian
treaty rights in the first place. The an
nouncement of the determination of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Lamar to
drive out all settlers under the proclama-
tion of the 18th OF April, in
duced the bishop to write that,
while no doubt a good deal Of the land
thrown open by President Arthur's procla-
nation has been taken mp purely Tor specu
lative purposes, there are many worthy bona
fide settlers who believed the executive
order which declared the reservation open
to be valid, final and conclusive. These
are chiefly persons of small means, who
have spent their all in reaching the reserva-
tion and in making improvements Their
dispossession would, the bishop believes,
work incalculabe hardships and drive them
almost to desperation Their case, the
bishop urges, appeals powerfully to every
fair-minded man, and he invokes the gener-
Gus and immediate consideration OF the
government. 1t is believed at the interior
department that force viii have to be used
in such way as to open the question Tor
the courts There will be no formidable
use of troops or marshals. One case will be
selected for a test. There are, it is esti-
mated several thousands ofsettlers now on
the reservation, which makes he question
one of great Importance. 1t is regarded as
more serious to deal with than the Oklaho
ma problem.

Brown with extortiOn, but wrOngfu! use OF
the funds of the state that have CONS into
his possession under color OF his Office. He
shows wherein Mr. Brown has not yet, ac-
cording to his judgment, complied with the
requirements Of the law, and he states
clearly the only conditions on which he can
be reinstated. In conclusion he says
Mr. Brown cannot be restored o office

monthly statements of all fees received by
him in his official capacity verified by his
affidavit as the law requires, and pays the
amounts into the state treasury. Second
he furnish proper, legal and itemized vouch-
ers of all moneys expended by him for clerk
hire, and makes affidavit that the same
was paid for services actually rendered.
Third he furnish an itemizcd sta tement Of
the amount received by himself and dep
uty for the examination of the state
banks, together with the actual ex-
Denses thereof verified by his OATH
and shall pay the excess thereof above act
uaI expenses into the state treasury.
Fourth, he furnish his affidavit that in
permitting the destruction OF the vouchers
and orders of transmittal for insurance
payments into his office he was not actual

cause he thought them of no value and I'M

When these evidences are furnished in good
