Correspondence Of the YOrkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, n. c., April7-
I send copy you a of the YoRKvILLE EN-
QUIRER of April 7, 1857. You will see by it
that there was frost in abundance this day
tWenty-nine years ago. AS l looked over
this old paper 1 felt that my heart is untrav-
eled when my mind recurs to the old Dis
trict of York, the land of my birth, the
home of my childhood. Therefore, the EN-
QUIRER is looked for every Thursday and
arrives promptly. So I am familiar with
the hue and cry raised about the lien law,
which is now the same as our own, which
has been in operation for years and works
we'll. No one, 1 think, could ask its repeal
until the homestead is abolished, which is
the father of the lien law.
AS to your own agricultural boom, look
upon it as a more serious matter. 1 do not
mean the Bethel Agricultural Club, as it is
controlled by level heads, and has my best
wishes, and the officers in it do not expect
to be directors in al agricultural college,
But the matter to which 1 allude, I fear,
will prove very detrimental to your State
The idea of assembling the farmers of your
county and State in convention and sending
delegates to Columbia to a convention to be
held in the busiest season of the year, will
surely cost not less than 100000. 1t is tc
be hoped that the delegates sent will be OF
those who have nothing to do at home, and
that when they assemble there will be wis
dom enough in the convention to advise
that the lawyers are competent to make
laws, and that the farmers should produce
an abundance Of hog and hominy. If these
instructions should be carried out, you will
soon be a glorious, happy and prosperous
people, and the rank and file of the Demo.
cratic party not demoralized in any way.
But your readers may ask, What about
the Prohibition boom in my W State
Well, so far, the speakers have been lady
missionaries from the North but | see post
ers UP calling ~acounty convention to send
delegates to a State convention to be held
in Raleigh. The delegates we send at
this season of the year, 1 hope, may be wo-
men who have no children, no cross and
drunken husbands nor friends to mourn
their absence, so that our convention will
probaly cost much less than yours; yet at
the same time radicalism, death and desola-
ton may follow in the wake.
The wheat and oat crops of our county bid
fair to be average, and our farmers are hope
full and we'll up with their work, considering
the lateness of the season. Labor is plenty
and effective thus far. SUBSCRIBER.

FLOOR COVERING.

Twenty years ago physicians began tc
protest against the e%nervation of modern
houses: thence they passed to detail; the
more enlightened entered into a sort Of
crusade against floor covering, and declared
that infectious diseases were harbOred in
the wooden hangings and carpets of their
well-to-do patients, quite as surely as amid
the squalor and filth of over-crowded al.
leys. People no longer sleep in four-post
bedsteads, with wooden curtains drawn
around them. They are even recognizing
the desirability of leaving their windows
unincumbered with voluminous folds Of
velvet and rep, and going a stage farther,
they are beginning to realize that floors and
their covering are very important factors
in the question of Hygiene.
Rugs are certainly free from many of the
most serious objections to carpets, even
when they are fixed upon the floor, which,
in our estimation they never ought to be.
1t is impossible to wash we'll around them,
to remove the dust from the corners of the
room, and even under the edges of the rug
itself.
buC SUCH Il cOllultlOl VI dllllio ID Id HUN
satisfactory. There is always more or less
dirt about a stationary carpet, in any room
that is much lived in, and the best house,
maid in the world cannot rid an immova-
able rug of dust as readily On the floor as
they could off it. Carpets ought, as a mat
ter of health, to be taken up once a week,
laid over a line and thoroughly beaten.
But where is the household where this rule
is enforced?
The growing conviction of the superiority
of rugs to carpets, is shown in the newest
houses, in many of which the floors are ex
pressly arranged with stained borders, a
parquet flooring, which tits possible to leave
entirely uncovered. What a boon this is to
the persons of small means. Nothing eats
into a small sum of money for house fur
nishing more d~isastrously than a carpet.
1t is useless to buy a cheap one; cheap car
pets are never of any use and the price OF
a good one is a formidable consideration.
That is another argument in favor of rugs
cheap rugs wear much better than cheap
carpets.

A WoLF.-"Bill Ridley is a WOLF" said
old Judge Bjcknell.
"Why do you think SOP" some one asked.
swell, I will tell yon. Some time ago a
roughly dressed man with bushy red whis-
kers rode up to my house and wanted to
sell me a horse, a lean animal, but one in
which I saw many fine points. The fellow
said he was in such need of money that he
would take twenty dollars for the animal.
I gave him the money and took the horse.
The animal fattened rapidly. I found him
equally serviceable in shafts or under the
saddle. One day shortly after the animal
had developed into as fine a horse as 1 had
ever seen, Bill Ridley came along and
claimed him. He brought forward suff-
cient proof to establish his claim and of
course T gave up the horse, thereby losing
my twenty dollars beside losing the time
I had spent working with him."
81 don't see how you can blame Ridley"
"You don't then I will show you. The
scoundrel wanted his horse fattened, but was
too stingy to spend money for corn, so he
disguised himself, sold me his " horse,
then, after the horse was fat, came back
and claimed him. Yes, Billy is a wolff
