to embrace, as it does embrace, the en-

must say, from my impartial observa-
tions here for week, that, in this
Legislature, the West has the advan-
tage of the East, in ability, speaking
capacity, and general attainments. 1t
does not seem to have been so in past
years, but it appears to be so now.
Whether the better water and purer
air of the hills and mountains of the
West are productive of more intellect
and higher patriotism than is indigi-
nous to our Eastern planes, the writer
does not say, but something seems tc

Governor.
RALEIGH Cor. of the Goldsboro Messenger.
But it is no disparagement to him
or to any member of either House to
say that among them all the chief OBJ
iect of attention and admiration is
that able gentleman and superior par
Humanitarian, Lieut.-Governor Charles
M. Stedman. He had made brilliant
and splendid canvass during the last
campain, it is true, and achieved high
honors for himself, but how he would
acuit himself as President of the Sen
ate was an open question, it being we'll
established that the best speakers and
most attractive men are not always
the best parliamentarians. That ques-
ton is no longer in doubt, for in par
liamentary tactics, in promptness, skill,
and success as President of the Sen
ate, he has had no equal since the
war in this State His thorough
knowledge of parliamentary, the care,
impartiality, and efficiency with which
he discharged his duties endew him as
a gentleman of sure power as pre-
siding officer and this is the high esti-
mate he has won for himself by both
parties, and by all fair minded men in
in the General Assembly. He is in
deed an ornament of the Senate and
an honor to North Carolina. And
then he is an honest man, incorrupta-
BILE, independent, able for any and all
emergencies whether in the chair or
out out of it, and of those broad and
expansive views that show he has a
heart big enough to embrace all the
interests of the people and the best
good of the entire State.

Jersey Cranberries.
Frou. Or. RaIeiqh Chronicle.

The interior of Dare is one vast
cranberry bed. The cranberry is the
bush variety, and the gstherers plod
around in the swamp with mud shoes
Ca plank with holes in it) on their
feet, a bag with ring in its mouth in
one hand, and the cranberry rake, with
which they pull them off the bushes,
in the other. This cranberry rake was
invented by Dare man, and cut out
of Cypress with a pocket knife. But
a Yankee borrowed it one day. went
up North and patented it. The cram
berries are all shipped North. A Jer-
seyman comes down in sloop and
brings all his family. He puts into
one of the bays and sends out word
that he will buy cranberries for so or
rs cents a bushel. They bring them
in to him, half s1icks and trash. The
wife and daughters pick them over.
and when he gets a load, off he puts to
New Jersey and gets four dollars a
bushel for them. You Raleighites buy
them, then, as New Jersey cranberries.
That is the typical North Carolina
way of doing things.

ority in this Legislature. The Eastern
counties, especially those when parties
are evenly balanced, seem to have
more decentralization since the war,
and this is so often contagious as to
become epidemic, and hence the COM
bined influence of white and negro
suffrage, does not always elect the best
men to office or send the worthiest and
ablest to the General Assembly.
But, however, this may be, there
are certainly some BRILLIANT and able
men from the East in the Legislature.
Among them all, or even among Wes-
tern members there stands forth in
manly form, superior intellect, and

From Le6ets House Plans.
In the estimate of the cost of this
house made by the designer, Mrs.
Minnetta Ashton, of Traverse City,
Michigan, no allowance is made for a
cellar or for foundation, other than
blocks. 1t is necessary that this should
be borne in mind in comparing the es-
timated cost with the plans A good
cellar, and foundation of the usual
character, would add, perhaps, $500
or more to the total cost

including cornice, window frames,
bands and veranda, pearl gray; all
the chamfers cut in the trimmings and

being used in the kitchen for cooking,
if preferred. BY means of registers in
the ceilings of the sitting-room and
kitchen, to be kept closed during the
day and opened in the evening, sufti-
cient warmth can be communicated to
the sleeping rooms to render them
comfortable for that use. This would
only be practicable in small house,

may be reduced to very low figure.

Senate Charles M. Stedman, the dis
tinguished Lieut.. Governor. He
presides with an ease, impartiality and

members of the Legislature, he is the
most influential in and out of these

Judges to be the ablest parliamentarian
of either branch of the General As

quired by proving those facts and pay

steader wants to pay for his land he al
do SO. The price per acre is Sl.25.

count of disability or the close Of the
war, the whole time for which he en-
listed,) deducted from the five years.
His army service, to the extent Of four
years. counts as SO much residence.
The original fees at the land Office are
Sl4 and $l8--the former for Sl.25 land
and the latter for $3.50 land.
