An Example Of North Carolina Slang
Senator Ransom's Story.
at seems to read so" said Senator Ransom,
Of North Carolina, the other day, in response
to something; probably Q clause in some bin
that was shown him. Another senator,
standing by, made some laughing criticism
upon the expression
you don't know North Carolina slang,
said Mr. Ransom.
AN old tavern-keeper in one Of our pine
wood towns, was q rough, half -pious, wholly
honest man, who utterly declined to bet. But
one OF mis- guests, a professional gambler,
could not live without some excitement Of tho
sort. One day he insisted upon laying q bet
that the name on a sign across the street was
spelled without the it needed to make It .
namel Every one could 80 that the was
there, but he would bet; and finally the
landlord took him up, and Of course the man
lost. He stayed on, however, . week or two;
but finally packed his bag and called for his
bill. The place was too slow for him. The
landlord gave him the bill, &1GO. Tho man
looked at it, and then said: DO you ever read
the Bible, landlord Were you piously
brought upr"
"'Ohl yes, know my catechism now, and
read the Bible-more or le8'

at was too much for tho landlord. He
again, although he felt as before
that he was betting upon q certainty; but, ii
the man would do it
THE man took little worn Bible out Of
his bag, turned to the chapter in Judges, and
read that, with the new jaw-bone Of an ass,
did Samson slay the Philistine.'
THE landlord turned round, saying: Look
for it in my mothers good old Bible taking
1t down as he spoke.
The gambler found it, and held the text
under his eyes.

in a humbled tone, feeling the whole board

Western Land aad Cattle Investments.
It has always been curiosity to me until ]
came to New York this time why English,
French, Scotch, and even German capitalista
would como to this country and invest largely
in the cattle business, when New York and
other home capitalists could not be induced
to enter the field The secret Of it find In
the different conditions Of society. In the old
country the rich men have estates in the
country which are handled by agents for
them year in and year out, and which, In
many instances, they never ere. They grow
accustomed to having property that Is not
right under their noses
It Is little difference 70 IN Englishman
whether he has an estate in ireland, Canada,
Australia, or the United States, % Il bring
him in an income The American d differ

up in an atmosphere Of stocks and bonds. ths

think the investments Of foreigners In the Last
ten years in western lands and cattle have
made eastern capitalists open their eyes and
decide upon taking . little Of this business

it reached $15.35S.S0O, and for the
current year it will be over $50, cOO,O 900,
equalling the gold output Of the whole

this great mineral center are not ap-
