The FRENCH BROAD BANK.

AS will be seen by the ADVERTISE
ment this institution is in full oper>
alton. It's features are.new with US,
and are such asscommend them to
the mechanic and laboring man.
Thrift and frugality are the founda-
tions of fortune; and the small saw
ings periodically laid away in hands
prepared to nourish them grow
apace by accretion and the accumu-
lation of interest into surprisingly
large sums. This is the principle
upon which the New England peo-
pie have SO wonderfully prospered.
The individual has prospered and
the community of States has pros
pered. The careful and the Thoughts
ful man has a place in which to de-
post his small savings; the little SUR
plus of the days, the month s or the
years earnings, instead of, because
he has no encouragement to save,
to spends as he goes, and is COM
tent if at the end of the year he has
made both ends meet.
The French Broad Savings Bank
is the only one in the State. It's
organization and its operations will
prove a God-send to the people.
We hope they will appreciate the
blessing.
w. N. ALTMAN ESQ.
The democracy of Macon has
done itself, and the State great SER
vice by its nomination of the above
gentleman for the House of
Representatives. No truer demo-
crat. or truer citizen, lives in this or
any other State than w. N. Altman.
The Franklin Press well and truly
says of him:
1.-THE nomination of w. N. ALI
man, ESQ.,, was an unmistakable
case of the "ofice seeking the man."
He was selected and nominated by
the Democrats of this county, be-
cause of his spotless private eharac-
ter, his faultless record as an officer,
his personal popularity, and his
great fitness for the office of Repre-
sentative. He is an honorable, high
toned, Christian gentleman, against
whose reputation not one word can
be said. He is a man of ability and
fine sense-a practical sound and
safe man-and one into whose
hands we can safely commit our
rights and interests, with the full
assurance that they will be ably and
faithfully guarded and protected.
Mr.. Altman has been selected by
the faireet system -of. nomination
known-primary meetings having
been held in the different townships,
at which every Democrat had the
right to cast his ballot for the man
of his choice. He received large
majority of those ballots, and at the
Convention subsequently held, his
nomination was made unanimous
by vote of all the delegates pres4
ent. It therefore becomes the duty
of every Democrat of Macon county
to give his hearty support to the
nomination of the party, and to do
everything in his power to secure
the election of Mr.. Altman by a
large majority.

Many OF the evils of modern society arise
from misconception of individual rights
No man has "a permanent foothold here,
his is only tempory occupancy. "If," as
Dr. Griswold says, "men could realize
that the earth Is large omnibus, making
its annual rounds, that its inhabitants
are but way passengers. getting on and
taking seats left by others, without as
signment, and riding diverse periods and
distances; getting off and yielding their
places to others without having acquired
permanent rights in the equipage; if they
could realize that the stars of heaven
wink at them when they come aboard
and watch the futures of their earthly
destiny. and the angels Of heaven await
and attend their alighting, a disposition
would soon engender in universal human
ity. that would facilitate the happy ad,
justment of earth life and fill it with un-
bounded felicity. Budget.

man named Sheffey, who was one of his col
leagues. and who had been a shoemaker in
early life. Sheffey had made a spec, h whi, h
excited t,andolph's jealousy. and Randolph.
in replying 20 him. said that Shetfey was out
of his sphere, and by way of illustration
had told the story of the sculptor Phidias.
The sculptor" said Randolph, had made a
noted figure, and having placed it on the
sidewalk he secured a hiding place near by.
where, unObServed, he might hear the criti-
7cisms of those who passed. upon his statue.
Among those who examined the marble was
shoemaker, and this man criticised the
sandals and muttered over to himself as to
where they were wrong. After he had gone
away, Phidias came forth and examined
the points that the shoemaker had objected
to and found that his criticism was correct.
He removed the statue TO his studio and
remedied the defects. The next day Phdi-
as again placed it upon the street and the
shoemaker again stopped before it, He saw
at once that the defects he had noticed had
been remedied, and he now began to criticise
very foolishly other points about the statue.
PhidiaS listened TO him for time, and then
came forth with Latin phrase which means

recent statement of the London Spectator
as to the meager rewards of authorship.
which, contrary to popular notion, are really
below what they are here. He tells of a
novel published some time ago by the Mae
millans, two or more editions of which were
readily sold, and when the accounts were
squared up, it was found that the author
owed the publisher SEQ. MesSrS. Blackwood.
whose standing is second To none among
English publishers, when approached by an
author whose novel they had published. in
formed him that it was sufficient remun-
Grafton to have placed their name on the
title page. There are probably not ten au-
thors in England, says Mr.. Hawthorne. who
