most intelligent congregations we have
met in. some time. Rev. Wood is set
ting fine example for all preachers.
His work does not only show at home,
but by his influence more than half
dozen boys and girls went off from
Carthage to high schools this session.
Brethren do you do your duty in that
way?
Zion Methodist Church at Carthage
is one of the neatest in the conference.
1t is handsomely finished and has a
good membership. The choir is seat
ed behind the preacher as in Grace
Church in this city. They have
gallery all round. Rev. E. w. Dix
has charge of this Church.
The Enterprise Social Club gave a
very pleasant entertainment on Thurs
day night at the Odd Fellows Hall.
A very fine supper was served and
all enjoyed the night. Elders Tyler,
Rives and Stitt were among the
guests.
Democratic papers are publishing
that Prof. Price of Livingstone College
is favorable to and will support Mr..
Cleveland. We state from good
authority that the statement is untrue
and without foundation. 1t may be
intended to draw Prof. Price out.
Who will the republicans of this
Congressional District send to Chicago?
Let us divide between the white and
colored. W. G. Coleman is our
choice from the Western end. If you
go to the centre we will nominate
Jno. S. Lewis. Let us hear from the
dear people.
The editor of the Wilmington
Bulletin was brought before Judge
Meares few days ago for using Ian
guage about the Judge which was
thought uncomplimentary. He was
dismissed with the payment of costs.
We must be careful with the language
we use concerning our judges. 1t
came near being another case of libel.

DESTROYING THE DIES.
An Execution at the Philadelphia Mint.
Crushed by S1edge Hammer.

An Execution at the Philadelphia Mints
Crushed by a sledge Hammer.
A little roll of metal red with fire was
placed upon the anvil, a sledge hammer
fell twice upon it, three tiny sparks shot
into the air, and the molds of the old
years double eagle gold coins were wiped
out forever. TWAS thousandth part Of
the work that lasted all day at the mint,
the destroying of the 1887 dies.
This is novel form of destruction that
falls to the lot of the money making es-
adjustments blacksmiths at the end of
each calendar year, and is the only sure
way of preventing the willy counterfeiter
from making spurious coin without re-
gard to date. The dies of the mint are
the stamps that imprint on the coin all
that fancy business that, when rubbed
off by time, gives the street car con-
ductor Il chance to insult the holder by
refusing to accept it. For instance, it
stamps on the dollar the face of the beau
tiful lady encircled by stars and makes a
strong contrast on the other side by print
ing game looking eagle perched on ar
rows under ''In God we trust
The die is little round chunk of steel
about three inches long, sloping off at the
top, which makes it look like minia-
ture milkman's can without handles.
On the top of it is cut the face of the
coin it manufactures, with the date of
the year, and something to think about
when you look at them is that the die of
penny costs the government no less than
the die that makes the precious $50 gold
piece. Conner Steel. of the mint, signed
the death warrant of the old years dies.
1t meant the destruction of q thousand
of 1875 money makers Every stamp,
from double eagles to dollars in gold,
from dollars to ten cent pieces in silver,
the fives in nickel and the pennies in
copper were doomed.
The place of execution was the gloomy
shop in the basement. weirdly lit by
hungry freight. At $3.50 o'clock the
dies were taken from their cells upstairs
and conveyed thither in black, coffin like
pans. Coined gold jingled merrily on
all sides as the procession passed. What
regret had gold for the steel that gave it
power to ruin souls? So the dies of 'S7
passed to their fate unwept.
The little coiners Of big money were
first sacrificed. The dies of gold were
flung by handfuls into the flames. There
they lay until the steel grew red and the
face of Columbia blushed crimson. They
were not taken out by hand, but with
iron tongs, and placed right end up on
the anvils. Then the smith raised his
sledge hammer aloft and struck each enc
full in the face. A shower of sparks,
smashed sound and the agony was over.
The ring of the steel had gone, the face
vanished like magic and the die of the
past was but crushed, unshapely metal.

Sabbath in Para is holiday, and not
a holy day in any sense. Beside the daily
morning mass, very seldom is there any
service in the Roman Catholic church.
Sunday morning many of the women att
tend this mass; but the men almost
universally stay away; some remain at
home to work, but many more devote the
day to drinking and the game. Those
who wish to spend the day more quietly
visit friends or take their families to
Marco de Legua, much frequented re-
sort three miles from the center of the
city, reached by both horse and steam
car. Steam cars only run to thisresort,
however, upon the Sabbath and other
public holidays. In the evening twelve
large churches, one of these the massive
cathedral Of the bishop, have closed doors,
while both theatres. with seating ca
pacity of at least 1000, are crowded to
their utmost. Gambling dens and
billiard and drinking saloons all do q
thriving business, while the harlot
watches at her window for the footsteps
of the passer-by. Rev. A. G. Smith in

Writinr one,s own memoirs.

81 have" says NJ. Alexander Dumas,
often been asked why don't write my
memoirs. don't write my memoirs be-
cause man cannot write his own men,
oirs without writing those of others, or
without hiding from his own life that
which the reader ought most to know.
Those of whom l should have to write
would rather that l were silent, and l
have no desire to write about myself.
The laurels of Jean Jacques and of Casa
nova do not prevent me from sleeping
soundly at night-on the contrary. 1t
is, however, permitted to draw episodes
from ones personal souvenirs which time
has formed into whole, to which moth
ing more is to be joined, which form one
more lesson on the absurdities Of human
life, and which can no longer hurt or do
injustice to anybody. New York

SCOTIA SEMINARY.

Dear EditOr-Allow me space in
your widely read columns to assert
that l had the pleasure of exhibiting
my Panorama in Concord two
nights, assisted by Mr.. J. L. Mont
gomery. The first night in the Pres
byterian lecture room. Next day we
visited Scotia, and heard some of the
recitations, which were evidences of
thorough training. Professor Satter-
field and his amiable wife proves to be
worthy preceptors. Indeed. their
moral, religious, industrial, domesti-
cal and educational training are Sec
ond to none. No young lady who
will adhere to the instructions given
them there can ever prove failure in
the world. More such teachers and
more such institutions will eventually
raise us to higher standard. In
conclusion, we hope the 1872 teachers
and pupils who patronized our exhi-
bition in the chapel were pleased.
Yours, for success,
