A Newspaper Hero.

heard sad story the other. day about
WEIGH, who writes most of the funny bits of
supposed conversation that appear in the
New York papers. WEIGH began to make
his reputation as a humorous writer while
employed on The Rochester Post Express.
When The Philadelphia Call was started he
went to the Quaker City, and his accident
ally overheard" were his own fortune and
those of his paper. He is the most widely
quoted funny man in the United States. For
several months Mr.. WEIGH has been troubled
with cancer of the tongue, and not long ago,
to save his life, he consented to a terrible sur
gical operation. One cheek was laid open
nearly to the ear, and the greater part Of his
tongue was cut out. He can never speak
again, but life will be prolonged, and he has
wife and children to support. Not all the
heroes wear brass buttons and shoulder
straps, and WEIGH is a hero.-New York Cor.

A New York gentleman just arrived from

Mrs. Billiard are often seen riding out to
gether and are distinguished looking couple.
Tilton's daughter Florence, who married Pei

his marriage with intermittent attacks of in
sanity, has at last become a hopeless lunatic,
and is now in confinement. Tiltons other
daughter is living with her husband in Chi

Tho Southern Members Pass Resolutions
Regarding Social Equality.
At meeting of the Southern delegates to
the General Assembly. K. of L., held Oct.
14th inst, the following was adopted and
ordered to be submitted to the General AS
sembly for ratification, with the hope it
may not elicit discussion -
WHEREAS, reports have been circulated,
and impressions have been created by the
press of the country regarding the position
of the Order of the Knights of Labor upon
the question of Social Equality and,'
WHEREAS, we believe the welfare of the
Order to the sections of the country which
we represent would be largely enhanced if
the General Assembly would take such
action as would dispell those wrong i'm
pressions; therefore,
RESOLVED, that the Organization of the
Knights of Labor recognizes the civil and
political equality of all men, and in the
broad field of labor recognizes no DISTINCT on
on account of color, but it has no purpose to
interfere with or disrupt the social relations
which may exist between different races in
any portion of the country"

M0CKsvILLE, Oct. 13-Quite large
crowd here this week attending court Ow-
ing to the long drought the ground is not
in condition to be ploughed. Consequently
the turn out is good. Farmers are some
what respondent after several poor crops
Everybody complains of the scarcity of
money and the future does not look encour-
aging for the farmer. The people over here
are growing desperately in earnest about a
railroad and We hope they may succeed in
obtaining it.
We have seen no finer farming country
any where than along the road from the
Yadkin river to this town. Among other
things we noticed some very fine meadow
lands and quite quantity OF hay being
saved and stacked along the road
The discussion between Solicitor Glenn
and his opponent, Mr.. Settle, waxed warm
here yesterday. The people will not turn
out as good an officer as Mr.. Glenn to re-
place him with young and inexperienced
boy.
Col. L. L. Polk made splendid agricul.
tural talk to the farmers here to-day. He
gives much good and sound advice to the
farmers, much of which We hope they will
put into execution. Everyone whom we
heard speak of the address spoke very high
ly of it. Farmers Clubs are being formed
everywhere and we hope much good may be
accomplished. TRAvELER.

methods of Evarts and conklins.

People have been RECALLED from time to time
with samples of the oratory OF William M.
Evarts, in which single sentences have been
given of more than 200 words each. As a
contrast we may mention Roscoe Conkling's
address to the jury in the case of Farnsworth,
receiver of the Bankers and Merchants Tele-
graph company, against the Western Union
Telegraph company, a pamphlet Of forty
eight pages, in which the speaker uttered no
paragraph larger than sixteen lines, including
100 words, and this in five sentences There

Reports from Washington show that the
Presidents action in vetoing pension bills will
work both hardship and injustice to many de-
serving persons. One case has come directly to
our notice, that of Mrs. Cornelia Il. Schenck, OF
Detroit, the widow of Capt. Daniel +. Schenck,
a brave Union officer. The bill granting TINS
delicate and helpless widow pension of $50 a
month was carefully examined by several SEN
ators and a committee of the House and pro-
nounced Just one Yet the President thinks
it necessary to hurl his veto at this poor woman

NOT A REBEL.
The Gardener Of the Hampton Soldiers II,

The Gardener OF the Hampton Soldiers Home.
To THE EDITOR: In your issue Of the 18th
ult you state that many complaints come 10
you from the Home Of the gardener, who is
represented as being much unrecOnstructed
rebel, harsh in the treatment of his men. etc.
few Of us have taken the trouble 10 look into
the charges and find no just cause for them.
Mr. Allison is not, nor was he ever, rebel, aud
needs no reconstruction. We find no proof OF
his harshness. IT'S true that the men are not
sufficiently paid for their labor, but that is not
the gardeners fault; he does not make the APP
preparations. OF course, in such a large school
AS this is, and coming from all parts, we may
expect faultnnders and many hasty critics
