A CURE FOR THE MOST DAN
GEROUS WOUNDS.

An intelligent and trustworthy
correspondent has sent us the fol-
lowing: The smoke of woolen rags
is a cure for the most dangerous
wounds. A lady of my acquaintance
ran a machine needle through her
finger. She could not be released
till the machine was taken to pieces.
The needle had broken into her fin
ger in three pieces, one of which
was bent almost double. After re-
peated trials the pieces were ex-.
tracted by pincers, but they were
very strongly imbeded. The pain
reached to the shoulder, and there
was every danger of lackjaw. The
woolen rags were put over the Goals,
and she held her finger over the
smoke, and in very short time all
the pain was gone and it never re-
turned, though it was some little
time before the finger healed. This
IS but one Of the many instances of
such cure, some of them taking place
several days from the time of the
wound Let woolen rags be kept
sacredly and always at hand for
wounds. The smoke and stencil will
fill the house, perhaps, but that is
a trifie when the alternative is lock-
jaw or even a long, painful sequel to
wound. Another instance was the
wound made by an enraged cat,which
tore the flesh from the wrist to the
elbow and bit through the fieshy part
Of the hand. One ministration of
the smoke extracted all the pain,
which had been frightful.-Boston

TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACH.
ERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY.

At the last meeting Of the County
Board of Education three Teachers
Institutes were ordered to be held
this year, viz: One at Winston, to
begin on the 9Th Of July, and con-
tinue until the Goth; a second at
Kernersville, from August I'd to the
14th; and third at Lewisville, from
August 10th to the 28th. The first
will be conducted jointly with the
State Normal, which opens at the
Graded School in Winston, on the
9Th Of July, and continues till the
23d of the month. Our Institute,
however, will be limited to a term
of ten days, and has been placed un-
der the control of Prof. Tomlinson,
who has courteously consented to
assume the superintendent of it by
request Of the County Board; the
nert, viz: that at Kernersville, will
be under the control Of the County
Superintendent, assisted by Prof.
Ray, of that place; the third and last
one, at Lewisville, will also be under
the direction Of the County Superin-
tendent, who will procure such help
for the occasion as he can then OBJ
TAIN By reference to sec. 1867 Of
the Common School Law, you will
see that all the teachers, both white
and colored, are ''required' to attend
Institutes. Now, although teacher
may not attend all these Institutes,
(though at liberty to do SOY, it is
plainly his duty to attend at least
one, and he may select that which is
most convenient for him, thus COM
plying with the law. Arrangements
have been made for holding the
Institute for the white teachers in
the Graded School building and for
the colored teachers in the Court
House, during the Institute at Win
ston. There can be no doubt that
the Institute at Winston will afford
to teachers the finest opportunities
for improvement. The exercises
there being in charge of Prof: Tom
linson, (whose reputation alone is
sufficient guarantee for good work.,
assisted by other eminent instructors
as he will be, cannot fail to come up
to all that can be asked for in this
line. The teachers are, therefore,
all of them, earnestly requested and
advised to attend there and avail
themselves Of the freely Offered bene-
fits of both Normal and Institute.
Neither of the other Institutes can
reasonably be expected to offer equal
attractions. 1t is for this reason the
Superintendent SO urgently calls
upon you, one and all, to come up
and derive all the advantage you can
from this liberality Of the State to
your profession.
will also add, for the informa-
ton of all concerned, that | shall
be at the Court House in Winston
on the 9Th, 9th and 10th Of July
next, for the purpose Of examining
applicants for teachers certificates.

has been raging in Back Creek Town
ship, and is proving quite fatal with
children.-Asheboro Courier.
The crop of wheat, an inteIli-
gent gentleman from Stoneville tells
us, will be a light crop. He thinks
that much OF it, too, has been injured
by the wet weather while saving it.
He also says that the depredations
Of the cut worm has prevented a
good stand of tobacco, and owing to
the continued rains corn is so much
in the grass that it will not make a
good crop. Oats are the best he has
seen since the war, but there is not
a full crop sown. Altogether the
prospect is not at all fattering. The
wheat, too, in a considerable portion
of the county, has been completely
destroyed by the hail.-Dan Valley
Echo.
The cut worm has been doing
bad work throughout this section.
The tobacco crop has suffered terri
bly, from its work.-The Scottish
Land Company has purchased 80,
600 acres of Haywood county land
from the Love heirs. MR. McGhee,
of Haywood, has sold this year, from
40 hives, 1000 pounds Of splendid
honey, for 124 cents per pound
A son Of J. |. Miller, Of Highlands,
was bitten on the foot by rattle
snake about week ago. The wound
was we'll wet with turpentine, and
7 drops given internally. The wound
was then kept wet with the juice of
the milk weed. 1t is now healing,
and the boy is out at play.-AsheOiUe
Citizen.
Travel over the Western road is
becoming very heavy-every train
from this place towards the west is
loaded. d.-Conf1icting accounts are
heard concerning the wheat crop.
Some say it is medium to good,
while others speak less cheeringly.
1t is said that there are over 80
criminals awaiting the rope in the
jails of this State, and that most of
them will be hung this year-Mr
J. A. Boyden, Mr.. Breathed, and Mr..
J. F. Ross, are contemplating going
into the canning business here at an
early day. Mr.. T. n. Smith, a prac-
tical Gamer, will most likely take
charge of the works, should these
gentlemen conclude to go into the
business on large scale.-Sattsbury
Wdtchmdn.
Robert Robinson, aged Is years,
of Wadesboro, died on Monday of
hydrophobia, after twenty-four hours
suffering. He was bitten on the left
arm by mad dog two years ago
and few days before his death he
was stung by bees on the same arm.
Mr.. J. M. w. Elder, colporteur
of the American Bible society, gives
the Wilmington Star the following
statement Of work done by him in
Brunswick county: He visited 1000
families-1,227 white and 262 col
ored. Of these he found nearl y one
fourth without the Bible-297 white
and 262 colored families; a total of
$50 families found destitute Of the
word of God-G0ldsbOro Messenger.

DISCOVERY OF A GLASS WHICH VASTLY
IMPROVES THE MICROSCOPE.

That a recent wonderful discovery
in microscopy has not been even
noted in the public press may be
cited as proof of the general apa-
thetic tendency as regards scientific
matters, says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. The microscope has al
ways been regarded as wonderful
instrument, but by the discovery Of
an entirely new kind of glass lately
its powers are increased to an in
credible degree. 1t was in the year
1878 that DIR. Abbey read paper
before the South Kensington Associ-
alton in England, in which he
strongly set forth his ideas that it
was possible that a new kind of
glass might be made which would
increase the power of the micro
scope.
In the year 1881 he and DR..
Scott, celebrated chemist, began
to experiment in the town of Witten,
in Westphalia. Their funds gave
out in 1888, however, before they
had obtained any remarkable re-
markable results from their expert
ments, but both were so sanguine
of making beneficial discovery if
they had funds to continue their
work that the Prussian Government
was induced to give 81, 800 for the
continuance of the experiments.
Prof. Abbey and DIR. Scott then
erected laboratory in Germany, at
the works of Carl Zeiss, manu-
facturer of instruments used by
scientists. They tried nearly all
elements, and it was only about six
months ago that their long labor was
crowned with success which viii
make them famous in the history OF
science. The ordinary glass con
tains six substances. The new glass
made by Prof. Abbey and DIR. Scot
contains fourteen. The most essen
tial elements of which it is composed
are phosphorus and boron, neithe
of which is used in common glass
With the old glass the full power O

ment of the 500th part of an incl
and with the new glass it is claimed
that the 2O4 ,700,0 00th part of al
inch can be distinguished. Thi
certainly seems incredible, but posi-
tive assurance Of its truth is give
by parties who have tested Prof
Abbey's and DIR. Scott's new instru
ment.

THE CAUSE OF IRELAND.
AN ABLE ADDRESS ny JUSTIN NC
CARriiN IN NEW YORK.

Justin McCarthy's address on the
cause of Ireland in the Academy of
Music was notable event. Every
door of the building was besieged
by an eager crowd, and the police
had to be called to prevent an. acct
dent. Outside of the academy re-
semhlcd huge beehive. When
Mccarthy was introduced by Mayor
Grace he was greeted with dcafen-
ing cheers and shouts. In the
course of his remarks he said; "The

submitted. So long as there is in
England, America, Australia or
anywhere one single group, l would
say one single Irishman, alive, the
claim will never be admitted.
Any English statesman who thinks
he can reconcile Ireland to the exist

terminate the whole of the Irish
race before he can boast of having
done so.
We make claim of local self

OLE SKIN CANCER.

For seven years suffered with cancer on
my face. All the simple remedies were APP
piled TO alleviate the pain, but the place con-
tinued to grow, finally extending into my
nose from which came a Yellowish discharge
very offensive in character. 1t was also In
famed, and annoyed me great deal. About
eight months ago ! was In Atlanta, at the
house of q friend, who SO strongly recon-
mended the use of Swift's Specific that de-
termined to make an effort to procure it, In
this was successful, and began its use. The
influence of the medicine at first was to some
what aggravate the sore; but soon the In
fiammation was allsyed, and began to inn
prove after the first few bottles. Ny general

LON. JOHN s. BARBOUR.

1t is with inexpressible regret that the
members of the Democratic party read
the announcement made in the Alexan-
dria s'GaZette" that John 5. Barbour will
retire from public life after the expiration
of his present term in Congress. 1t was
but very lately that the public heart was
stirred with the profoundest sympathy
for the great leader in the death of his
Wife MIR. Barbour as leader of the Vir-
ginia Democracy ''hath borne himself 30
clear in his great office;' he has held
himself so far above the use of his great
power for personal advantage; he has been
so thoroughly devoted to the success of
Democracy in it's best sense that every
Democrat will feel that in losing leader
he also loses friend. In Congress he
has been wise, conservative, far-seeing
statesman. While he loved his State and
was jealous of her reputation, he also
potent for good in all that concerned the
welfare of the Nation for % any years past.
Of Mr.. Barbour it may be said without
qualification; that wherever he has stood
in public life he has shown himself pow
er, and his State will most keenly feel his
absence from participation in her affairs.
There can be no mitigation of the loss
which induces Mr.. Barbour's re-
tirement. but if there could be. it would
be found in the undying gratitude and
lasting admiration and esteem of the
Democratic people of Virginia which viii
follow him to the eEd.
