5issgreeable, but even costly mistakes /;
but they are about the least Of mis-
takes to which an editor is liable.
The editor must oe on the spo. till the
paper is sent to press, and make de-

but even greater causes may hang.
He cannot husband his strength with
comparative repose in the solitude OF
a study. or the freshness of green
fields. He must see the world, con-
verse with its foremost or business
actors, be open to information and
on guard against error. All this
should be borne in the mind by those
who complain that journalism is in

A CLIFF OF NATURAL Glass
Among the scientific papers which
will appear in the appendix Of one OF
the forthcoming reports of the nation
al geological survey rs one by Prof.
Joseph ?. Iddings upon the obsid.an
cliff of Yellowstone Park. This cliff
Is an elevation half u mile long by
from 100 to 200 feet high, the mate
rial OF which Prof. Iddings SAYS is as
good glass as any artiticially manuf,c-
tnted." Its color and structure not
only make it highly interesting to the
visitor. but furnish to the scientific
investigator phenomena Of Importance.
The cliff presents a partial section OF
surface flow Of obsidian, which
poured down an ancient slope from
the plateau lying east. II is impossi-
bie to determine what the original
thickness OF this flow NAV have been.
The dense glass which now forms it's
lower portion is from 75 to $50 feet
thick, while the porous and punicious
upper portion has suffered from ages
OF erosion and glacial action. A re-
markable feature of the cliff is the
development of prismatic columns
which form its southern extremity.
These are of shining black obsidian,
and are from fifty to sixty feet in
height with diameters varying from
two to four feet. The color of the
material of this cliff is for the most
part jet black, but much of it is mot.
tied and streaked with bright brown
ish red and various shades Of brown
from dark to light yellowish. purplish
and olive green. The brilliant lustre
OF the rock and the strong contrasts
OF color with the black are very strik.
ing. In places the glass in process OF
cooling has been b.oken into small
angular pieces. which have again been
cemented by the latter fow. In some
places the material shows a fine satin
lustre while in others a deep golden
sheen is noticeable, which under the
lens resolves itself into thin beams Of
red and yellow light. Through the
black and red glass are scattered dull
blush gray patches and bands and
round gray and pink masses. the ef

the appearance and beauty Of the rock
and make it the most conspicuous and
characteristic variety Of volcanic lava
known.

The urity of the Bar.

"Mr. j. T. Bagwell will move TO Charlotte
soon and enter upon the practice of law" is an
item going the rounds of the newspapers. If
this is the same as the Rev. D. D., whe was
suspended from the functions of his office as a
minister of the Gospel by the proprr authority
of his church for immortality, then the Supreme
Coart should to it that he makes complete
vindication from the charge of which ne stands
accused, or he should be denied a license, and
the members of the bar from the section in
which he proposes to locate ought to see to it.
Wilson Mirror.
viii the Mirror bear in mind that Mr.
Bagwell has never yet been tried by his
Church, and only stands before the world as
an accused man? "Doth our law condemn
any man till it hear him." Is the man to
be shut out from all honorable employment
because he has been accused Mr. Bagwell
well expects to be thoroughly indicated as
to moral character by his church He claims
that he has been shamefullv victimized and
expects to be able to show it the first time
he has an opportunity. -Charfotte Ballot.

the Worthy Movement?
Mrs. F. A. Odds, of Raleigh, President of
the Shotwell Memorial Association, has
designated Mrs Edward A. Oldham as the
member of'the Bazaar Committee for this
community 1t is the aim of the Associa-
ton to hold a Bazaar during the State Fair,
for which contributions are now being given
by generous hearted people all over North
Carolina, people who having known Ran
dolph Abbott Shotwell, propose to comment
crate his nobility and patriotism by fitting
shaft of marble.
The Association, through Mrs. Oldham,
respectfully solicits contributions in any
thing that can be sold at public bazaar,
such as it is intended the one at the State
Fair shall be. Our large hearted tobacco man.
ufacturers could easily vie with one another
in getting up the handsomest and incest
contribution in the shape of their own
brands of the leaf, which, after all, would
not only illustrate their iberality, but be a
valuable advertisement, as the contribution
will be given conspicuous position in the
hall beneath the Grand Stand at the Raj
eigh Fair Grounds. Miss Mamie Williams
will assist Mrs. Oldham in the collection OF
the articles.
Ours was the banner county at the Expo
sition, she is this year honored with the
Chief Marshallship of the State Fair, and
why can we not also take the lead in the
number of contributions we send to the
Shotwell Memorial Bazaar?

Hot Weather Drinks and Desserts-Care of
Children.

Cold chocolate is popular summer drink.
Grind up chocolate, put in little pulver-
lied sugar and pure or cam and it is ready
for use with the addition OF ice-water.
Orange Water Ice.-Rub the zest of four
oranges upon a half dozen Jumps of loaf
sugar, being careful in this operation not
to rub the white or underlying skin. Put
the favored Jumps into a little warm syrup
and let them remain until dissolved. Now
take a dozen fine Florida oranges, strain the
juice, and put with it the juice of one large
lemon or two smaller ones, adding pint of
water one quart OF clarified sugar and the
Juice which was made from the Jumps fla
vored with the zest. Mix all the ingredients
together, then strain and put in the freezer
and freeze.
Raspberry Vinegar-The following makes
a delicious summer drink by stirring two or
three tablespOOnfuls of il into tdmbler OF
iced water. Fill a stone jar with ripe ber-
ries and cover with pure, strong cider vine
gar; let stand five days and then strain
through a seive. pressing out all the juice.
Allow one and half pounds of white sugar
TO each pint OF this juice and boil until the
sugar is dissolved, removing any scum
which may arise. Take from the fire, bottle
and seal.
Lemon Sherbet.-Three pints lemon juice,
one pint orange juice and six pounds granu-
lated sugar. This will require about three
dozen lemons and half dozen oranges, all
of large size. With fine crater rub off the
thin yellow rind of the fruit, but none of the
white; the lemons and oranges separately
of course. Mix the gratings well with fonr
times their weight OF pulverized white sugar
and put into bottles, which keep corked
when not in use. You have thus two excel
lent, pure, every-ready iavorings for cakes
pies, pudding, blanc-manges, ices and what
ever else you like. Now pare off the white
rind, scraping it clean down to the pulp.
Cut the fruit in half, pick out all the seeds,
squeeze out the juice with squeezer, and
strain it as fine as possible through a flannel
ielly-bag. Measure it, and to each quart of
the mixed juices three pounds Of sugar stir

MIR. Blaine's EquivocatiOn.
Portland Mel Argus.l

The custom of Mr. Blaine is to make one
speech before hall gathering in the evening
and furnish another speech to the morning
papers. The reporters have always been
1enient with him, and have generally per-
mitted him to revise their notes. So
far as the Associated Press is
concerned this is a notorious fact
But Tuesday evening the custom
was departed from. His words were taken
as they dropped from his lips, and were
printed as he uttered them, with one excep-
tion-the mistake of putting Kosciusko
where the name of Kossuth should have ap-
peared. The words concerning Salisbury
which Mr.. Blaine now disclaims were said by
him in the Port ana City Hall, Tuesday
night. They are o.. record; they were heard
by hundreds of pc ple, and his silly denial
will meet with the ,Ontempt it 50 richly de-
