BALD MOUNTAIN.

A letter from near Bald mountain
shows how deep-seated was the first
belief of the people near that noun
tain that it vas actively in eruption.
At the little settlement called Bat
Cave, in the Blue Ridge, very near
Bald mountain, the shocks were so
powerful that furniture actually danced
around in the houses. The noise was
so great that it was difficult to hear
human voices. People became so
alarmed that they fled from their
houses, and, gathering together, awaited
more wonderful results. Twelve shocks
are reported as occurring there in rather
rapid succession, becoming lighter aud

FRIDAYS SHOCK.

The earthquake wave last night was
very decided--at least as strong as the
second one which occurred Tuesday
night. 1t had the painful result OF
alarming the people and Of destroying
much Of the feeling Of confidence which
bad been acquired since Tuesday night.
The wave continued about twenty or
thirty seconds. Many people ran out
of buildings-some half dressed. Re-
ports from several parts Of the State
Asheyille, Fayetteville, Tarboro', Char
lotte, and Durhsm--show that the same
effect was caused there. At Whining
ton the shock was lively. The guests
Of the orion House fed precipitstely.
People were greatly alarmed. AT Ma.
sonboro' Sound the shock is reported
as being severe. A report to-day from
Lincoln county says that the water in
South Fork river splashed from bank to
bank like water in basin moved from
side to side. 1t is said that waves were
observed in some other streams aud on
mill ponds.

A E 0 OF HONOR.

Authorized by Congress, and Yet seldom
Heard OF.
In the early days of the civil war Secretary
Stanton proclaimed that "alacrity, daring,
courageous spirit and patriotic zeal On all
occasions and under every circumstance is
expected from the army of the United States.
n y = And the people of the United States
will rejoice to honor every soldier and officer
who proves his courage by charging with the
bayonet and storming intrenchments, or in
the blaze Of the enemy's fref' And to carry
out this purpose congress authorized the con-
ferring of a decorative medal of honor for dis
tinguished conduct in the presence Of the
enemy, A thousand heroes have been SO
decorated, but SO quietly hac it been done that
but few persons have ever heard of it.
The war department has recently and
tardily published the list of men who re-
ceived the medal during the war. Since
the war there lave been about 800 of these
medals distributed, and it is to be hoped that
the names of these gallant 800 will be pub
lished before the close of the century.

He served as drug clerk by day and played

the worst drug he had ever compounded.
Like many another funny man he pinned to

roars of laughter. He cok his defeat like a

making people laugh. After all that is bet

o. g.. ID OF HONOR of service, mark
maaship, zeal in recruiting, athletic sports,
personal popularity and other commendable
things. That a great nation, possessing for
more than twenty years a congressional
decoration for valor, already conferred upon
several hundred heroes, should be ignorant
Of its existence is astonishingl
The cause Of. this ignorance may be found
In the mistaken simplicity which has marked
the method of presentation. In countries
from which we get many of our best military
s:sssssrss :ss:ie G.scosa siiei IS ofssn handed TO the
soldier by his sovereign in the presence of the
principal officers of state, Of large bodies of
troops n of thousands of people, The
name Of the fortunate recipient is published
In the official gazette and by the press
throughout the doninions. In our country
this reward from the highest power in our
government is sometimes conveyed to tho
brave winner by the hands of the postman,
with the brief remark perhaps of "a parcel
for you" Seldom Is there a parade of the
troops or prancing of cavalry squadrons or
rumbleiof artillery wheels or flashing of in
fantry bayonets or crash Of military bands
while the prize for yalor is pinned over q
heart swelling with honest pride. Seldom is
the affair an occasion Of ceremony.

or the way the game is played. the paperin
The New York Sun gives this information:
When tho game Is ready to begin ths skips
take their positions at one Of the tees; one
man from each side at the other tee, and the
remaining four men arrange themselves along
the intermediate space. The skips have abao-
lutte authority over their respective sides, d.
recting the play Of each individual. One OF
tho men at thu further tee, with his foot
within the eighteen-inch ring, throws his stone
along the ice, aiming for the tee where his
skip stands. II the skip sees any snow or dust
or other obstruction in the path Of the on
coming stone, he can order .hia men On the
middle line Of the rink 10 sweep it away with
his BROOM. No player has any right to touch
the stone with his broom, but at the command
OF his skiph he may remove any obstruction In
it's path. l
When tho first stone has been thrown and
has come to rest near the tee, q player Of the
opposing side takes his turn. His object, Of
COURSE, is to lay his stone nearers the teS than
that of his opponent, but he waits Tor instrRc,
tions from his skipas to how he shall try To
throw. II his, opponent has left his stone dt
! rectly in his path the skipinay command ain
to play agaimstit, to knock it, hspossible, DO
/ yond the seven-foot ring, or at all events fur
ther from the tee than it nov is The player
may or may not succeed in fulfilling his skipt
desires. The opponent then plays his second
stone, and the second player likewise. Ona
pair having played, they take up their brooml
and go down to the middle Of the rink while
another pair take their places at the initial
tee. The skips play last, one curler from each
side assuming the directing authority at the
critical tee. When all the stones have been
by each side, deciding as in quoits by the
proximity of the stones to the object tee.
That constitutes an end; and sometimes q
definite number Of ends are played to con
~stituteia game, and sometimes a definite time
Is played, in each case the scores Of com
