The Crazy Quilt

ID. I. HlghmOre.I
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early
light
What you failed to perceive by the twi-
lights last cleaning;
A cranky concern that through the long
night
Ger the bed where you slept was sosaucily
streaming?
The silk patches so fair,
Round. three cornered and square,
Give proof that the lunatic bed quilt is
there.
Oh, the crazy quilt mania triumphantly
raves,
And the maid, wife and widow are bound
as its slaves.

A 'Frce" strip.


A little strip of sidewalk about five feet
wide in front of the United States court
house in Boston is constantly the refuge
of the street peddlers of bouquets who
wish to evade the payment of the license
fee which the city ordinances require
AS the strip is the property of the United
States, they can here bid defiance to the
police, but it not infrequently happens
that their eagerness to sell lures them out
and then, if caught, they are brought tt
court and fined.

You Aavnr Tried Winston Yet.
From the Raleiqh Chronicle.

Capt. Mike w. Moore, of Oaks,
Orange county, on Wednesday last,
sold on the floor of. the Farmers Ware
house, one load of his tobacco, which
netted him $157.79. Not having much
confidence in our market, Mr.. Moore
had fixed his price on every pile, in-
tending if he did not get those prices
he would carry it back to Durham.
After the sale the happy smiles which
played over the face of this honest
Orange farmer were good to look at.
Mr.. Moore says, I am Raleigh man
hereafter, for every pile of my tobacco
sold in advance of what i had expect
ed, 1 feared the intense cold of We'd
nesday would cause the prices to rule
low. Raleigh is glad to have her Or
ange neighbors visit her, and still
gladder to know that one at least has
given her market trial. Come on
old Orange with all your crops and
Raleigh will send you home as we'll
pleased as Capt Mike Moore was.

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.
The Bill of MIR. Dixon, the Youngest
Member of the Legislature.

Inc Bill OF Nlr. Dixon, the Youngest
Member of the Legislature.
From the Raleigh Chronicle.
A bill for the equalization of the
burdens of taxation has been introduc-
ed by Mr.. Dixon and is now being
! considered by the House finance COM
mittee. The bill provides for the ap-
pointment of a board of market re-
reporters in every township by the
commissioners of each county, whose
duty it shall be to take census of the
bono fide sales of land, horses, mules,
cattle and hogs that have occurred in
the township during the proceeding
four years. In brief, these market
reporters, constituting what might be
termed local statistical bureau shall,
by the means prescribed, ascertain
these market values and report same
to the county commissioners with affi-
davit annexed. A copy of these CEN
sus returns shall be furnished the
State Auditor. who shall obtain there
from the average values. He shall
then multiply the total number of
acres of land in the county by the av-
erage price, the same way with horses
and other taxable property, the sum
of these results he shall declare the
aggregate value of taxable property
in said county, and on the basis the
Sheriff shall settle with the Treasurer,
the whole system to be under the sup
ervision of commissioner of State,.rev-
enue, to be appointed by the Cover
nor, with the advice and consent Of
the Senate.
This equalization Of taxation is q
very knotty problem, and will be
found very difficult one to solve.
Mr.. Dixon's bill may not cover the
whole ground, yet he is on the right
track-and his bill should receive the
careful consideration of every member
of the Legislature.

Little Rough on Jarvis.
Ei.otn thR Mem York Tribune

The unaffected manner in which Mr..
Cleveland acknowledges his ignorance of
public men grieves good Democrats and
fills them with dismay. A North Carolin-
ian, who; by the way, was a Presidential
elector, has just visited Mr.. Cleveland. He
was received pleasantly enough. it seems,
but he was asked: "Who is this Mr. Jar
Wis? Jarvis, of your State "Why," re-
piled the North Carolinian, 'don't you

him in my life until his name was present

THE TOBACCO CURE.
How to Apply it-What its Actio
is, @ses

f is, &es
From Gen. Cling,nan's latest Circular.
would state that in cases where
immediate relief was needed the tobac-
CO itself should be used. Thus, in case
of violent injuries, such as sprains,
cuts, or severe Commissions, when the
patient will necessarily be confined,
let tobacco poultice be applied. AL
so for violent sore throat, infamed
eyes, cholera morbus, erysipelas, acute
rheumatism, sciatia, and like cases.
On the other hand, where time is
hos SO urgent, as in old chronic cases,
and when the person does not wish to
be confined to his chamber, the COM
pounds may be conveniently applied.
Thus, for corns and bunions on the
feet, for old ulcers, lumbago, pains of
the body or limbs, such as chronic
rheumatism and neuralgia produce,
All ointment, plaster, or liniment may
be conveniently used. Certain skin
diseases may be conveniently treated
in this mode.
Again, horses, horned cattle, hogs
sheep require this mode of treatment.
Even when tobacco juice is given to
hogs for cholera; different persons are
liable to make mixtures of such va
riable strength that an oyer dose may
sometimes be given.
Persons ought perhaps to be re-
minded that while small plaster of
tobacco may be kept on for days, yet,
that when large surface of the skin
is covered, from two to four hours Is
long enough, as nausea may be pro-
duced if the application is too long
continued. AS long as violent pain is
felt, however, no nausea is likely to
arise.
The effects of alcoholic stimulants
are just the opposite of those prodac-
ed by the tobacco. Spirits and wine
increase the circulation of the blood,
and may be termed infammatory In
their action, but depress the nervous
energies or seem to deaden the ner-
vous action. The reverse is true Of
tobacco. 1t is seductive to the cir
eulation of the blood, and hence rap
idly allays inflammation, but is re-
markable nerve tonic. Hence, when
nausea has been caused by it spirits,
or wine may be properly used as a
remedy.
