THE DEATH OF w. H. Crow

The suicide of this well known gentle
man, announced by telegraph as occur.
ring to-day near Raleigh, will be heard
with mingled surprise and sorrow sur
prise that such death should have
fallen to the lot of such man at such
an age; sorrow that 90 good man and
such useful one is removed, though at
go ripe amage. At this distance, and in
ignorance of the late surroundings ofthe
deceased, we are at loss to conceive
the changes which came over a mind SO
genial as to drive him, through despair
or dependency, to such an act. The
death comes as startling shock upon
all who knew Mr.. Grow. His social and
his business relations were extensive,
and in all of them he commanded re-
spect and confidence.
Further particulars of the sad incident
we will give hereafter as received by
mail.

In the Cluverius trial the most
important point lately developed is
the Identification in the trunk Of
the deceased of letters in the hand
writing of the prisoner. A witness
also identified several large sealed
letters, and the watch and chain
and other articles found on the
prisoner when he was arrested. The
handwriting of the prisoner was
identified by VIM. Qnarles, bank
-ez and broker, ,,and an expert. The
evidence of the guilt of the accused
accumulates each day.

OPPOSITION TO THE FENCE LAW.
A discussion on the fence law question
which we are glad to say possesses the
thoughts of our people just now, called
forth the animadversions of an old lady,
a land owner, who ranks herself among
it's staunchest opponents, "Drat that
President for passing sich law; 1 wish
he had bullet put clean through his
head" Her interlocutor reminded her
that the President had nothing to do
with the making of the law; it was the
Legislature that passed it. "Well," F"
she snappishly answered, 81 wish he had
a ballet fh rough has head ,,
We commend this to some of our
friends down in Greene and Lenoir.
They will find that they are not left
alone in their opposition, and that the
above specimen Of enlightenment on the
subject is equal to their own.

Breaking i'm a Steer.

Did you ever pillow steer? Well, it NAV
be your high privilege some day to plow
one, and perhaps little advice now would
not be forgotten. In the outset, if you are
not pretty good singer, learn at once to
sing. When you get ready to plOw
select Il young four-year-Old steer,
one with plenty of ambition
and one that hasn't been worked in two
months. Hitch him to the CplOw; he will
start before you can get hold of the handles,
but that needn't trouble you. As the plOw
passes make a lunge for the handles; this
will be apt to hasten his steership, and he
will perhaps be going so fast by this time
that you wont think to say whoa" or to
check him with the line. but will be
pulling for life by the handles to
check him; this will throw the
pillow point perhaps three feet above
the ground. AS soon as you discover the
aerial attitude of your plOw point give it
sudden thrust tOwardthe center of the earth;
twill beisure to strike root and break your
plow-beam, land your head between the
steers legs, and he, being free, will likely
gallop around the field several times.
l forgot to mention that you ought to
commence whiStling as soon as you hitch
up and whistle until you land between
his legs. inst at this point your musical
talents will be found cOnvenient-arise,
commence singing some good spiritual song;
most any will do. Amazing Grace" for
instance, or it may be better to sing ''Haste
to the Wedding" 1t all depends on the
rate of speed the steer has on. While sing
ing stand firm in your tracks, with your
hands in your pockets. Remain i'm this
position and sing until the steer stops. In
the meantime, keep your mind On things
above and not on things below
After the steer stops don't start as if you
were going straight to him, but obliquely,
whistling from the time you start until you
get opposite him; then walk around him
two or three times, as though you didn't
care about catching him, singing in the
meantime, "Come, Humble Sinners" ETC. :;
finally, walk up in a gentlemanly manner
and take hold of the line. If the steer goes
through the same general performances for
three days you will have steer that will be
hard to part with.-Carrollton (Ga.) Times.

ST. PAUI,s RAPID PROGRESS.

The new city directory will mark an in
crease of 4, 231 names over that of last year,
making total of 43, $50, indicating by the
ratio which has usually been given of 81
a population of 100, 900. 1t is clearly evil
dent that the ratio of ~ is too low, from
the fact that the same multiple was used in
1880, and the total fell below the actual
population as shown by the census returns
of that year. In estimating population
from directory statistics Chicago, Buff
falo, Cincinnati. Cleveland and Kansas
City multiply the number of names by 81.
In Denver indianapolis, Milwaukee. and
Toledo the multiplier is used. and in Min
neapolis 2 10. Taking 81 as a null
tiplier, the population of st. Paul would
be 13S. $50, taking as the ratio it would be
131, $50. and accepting the multiple used by
Minneapolis our population would be 1922
III. Thus we see that the actual popula-
ton Of the city is not far from 1885, 900. But
whether the directory estimate of population
be accepted as authority OF not the increase in
names shows satisfactory increase in pop
ulation. From table published in our To-
cal columns 1t will be seen that there has
been steady and rapid increase in the
names reported in the city directory from
the year 1873, when the number was II, I13,
down to the present year, when it is a.
9G0
The new directory statistics show that
the prosperity Of the city has kept pace

APOLOGY TO LADY CHURCHILL.
Lord Randolph aud an American
SnOb--A Drawing Room Farce.

Lord Randolph and an American
SnOb--A Drawing Room Farce.
From the New York Times.
Lord Randolph Churchill. so conspicuous
just now in the affairs of the English gov
eminent, recalls a good story to be heard at
New York clubs. Lady Churchill. who
was one of the brightest girls ever reared in
New York, was one of the attractive
features at recent charity ball in London.
Her husband, hot-headed but generous, was
one of the fashionable throng.
While Lady Churchill was executing soma
brilliant dash on the piano keys tall Young
fellow with bangs, eye-glaSs and all the rest
OF dudedOm'S paraphenalia. stood neal
Lord Churchill. In a feminine lisp the tall
young man remarked for his lordship's ears;
'Deuced fine music, you know, but it lacks
veal soul, it lacks the veal soul.'' Churchill
gave him half cOntemptuous glance.
The tall young man still dispensed his Iips.
lie had nothing original to say. but his
criticisms made up for what they lacked in
that direction by silly personality. He was
in delightful ignorance of the identity of
his listener, and seemed amazed by the
spirit of a low phrase that finally flew into
his ears, sounding very like this: For a
shilling I'd wollOp the life out of you here
on the spot.
A soothing panacea to wounded feelings
came to the tall young man ON the follow
ing day, when card unexpectedly invited
him to the Churchill drawing-room. He
wasn't long in responding. Neither was
he long in departing. He got no further
than the hall. A burly Young
man met him there 1t was the
same gentleman whom he had favored
with the lisplngs last night-I.ord
Randolph Churchill. Then out floated
Lady Churchill. This fellows come to
apologize to YOU" Thus the lord to the
lady. Down on your knees!" Thus the
lord to the caller. And down on the rugs
fell the perfumed creature. He was very
abject. He even consented to be kicked
l haven't much pride in chronicling the fact
that this youth is a New Yorker.
