This and That.

LUMBERToN, N. c., Feb. I, 1888.
Dear SIR ALLOW me space in
your paper for a few thoughts from
this section of the State.
Last Saturday afternoon, in compa-
ny with our esteemed friends, Prof.
j. W. Jacobs. who is a graduate of
the Within Normal, and our distin-
guished young lawyer, j. S. Lewis,
Esq, we visited the growing town of
Maxton. Though only few miles
from us, it has been quite while
since we visited this thrifty town.
We can truly say that we know of no
town Of its size which has made more
improvements within the last decade.

SOMETHING ABOUT GLASS EYES.
Artificial Optics for Day and for Evening

Artificial Optics for Day and for Evening
Use-Tho Oculist's Skill.
One eyed people who can afford it have
two glass eyes-one for day, the other
for evening use. The reason for this is
that the pupil of the eye is smaller in the
daytime than at night, and hence the
two glass eyes are Of different sizes. SO as
to correspond with the natural eye The
price Of glass eyes is becoming cheaper
on account Of competition. and ut the
same time the quality is better. y COM
mon glass eye may be had for $40, but
they are not good receptions and do not
last long. A first class eye costs $50, or
even more. The best will not last over
two years, because the secretions in the
hollow of the eye roughen the glass by
chemical action, and this roughuess iIri-
tates the flesh.
A glass eye, like false teeth. is taken
out at night for it would net lie safe to

might drop out, and the Ii htast fall
would break it. If perso.. o,..ild buy
glass eyes at wholesale, by the 81 50. he
could get them for about So a;iale. But
he would have to look over q great many
before finding one to fit and to match his
other eye in size, color and expression.
Glass eyes are all made abroad, princi-
pally in Germany nd Trance. no

that when inserted in the cavity it may

lids and the tissue back of the cavity, but
the wearer grows accustomed to it and
finds it a rest and protection. A skillful
oculist can put glass eye into the cavity
SO that very close observation is necessary
to detect it. Not only are the size and
color Of the natural eye counterfeited,
but even the general expression. The
oculist has yet to discover means of giving
that sympathetic movement which dis
tinguishes pair Of eyes. There is quite
a large number of people with glass eyes,
say one in 400. You would not know it
by casual observation, for the wearer Of
glass eye is SO sensitive on the subject
that he is careful of his actions in public,
and he becomes so accustomed to the
glass orb that he can prevent all but in
innate friends from discovering his de-
feet. Science has done better by him
than by the man with the wooden limb.

Lawrence VS.. Black.

Mr.. 4. A. Black was on last Thurs
day morning before Esquire D. G.
Maxwell charged with assaulting Prof
Lawrence, professor in Biddle Uni
versity. The merits of this case have
been published, but neither party has
been presented till now. We were
not allowed to hear the trial, but
learn afterwards, there were new de-
velopments. DR.. Lawrence swore that
Black hit him first and Black swore
that Lawrence kicked him first.
DIR. Lawrence knew nothing of the
prosecution and did not desire to con-
tend, hence the matter was dropped
on Mr.. Black paying ten dollars. 1t
seems that as DR.. Lawrence failed to
prosecute Mr.. Black the great State
of North Carolina moved forward and
did so.
An effort was made to break down
Blacks character, but for some cause
it failed. How in the name of COM
mon sense could a faculty afford to
prove man of bad character whom
they had five or six successive years
endorsed and recommended for aid
three times year =? As soon as a
white man begins prosecution against
a colored man he tries to break down
his character.
There was no corroborating or con-
tradicting evidence. Each swore pos
itively against the other. The white
mans word weighed down the colored
mans so much that it took ten dol
lars to balance them.
Commonly when colored persons 60
before magistrate here, each pays
cost, but in this case Lawrence goes
free while Black pays ten dollars.
Should we contend for recognition
of manhood in the students out there
and say anything to condemn such un-
fair and partial trials, some one might
charge us with being an outside med
dler Such acts as this will bring
forth their fruit at the proper season.

One article Of subsistence sometimes
employed by the Indians is only resorted
to when they are driven to great straits
by hunger. Around many Of the water
ing places in the pine forests Of Oregon
and California the trees of Pinus pom
derosa may be seen stripped of their bark
for space Of three or four feet near the
base of the trunk. This has been ac-
complished by cutting with a Ratchet a
line around the tree as high up as one
could conveniently reach, and another
lower down, so that the bark, severed
above and below, could be removed in
strips. At certain seasons Of the year a
mucilaginous film (the liburnum) separ-
ates the bark from the wood Of the
trunk Part of this film adheres to each
surface and may be scraped off. The re-
sulting mixture Of mucilage cells and
half formed wood is nutritious and not
unpalatable, so that, as last resort, it
may be used as a defense against starva-
ton. The frequency with which signs
Of its having been resorted to are met
with. is striking indication of the I'M
certainties and irregularities Of the supply
department among savages.-Popular
Science Monthly.

The American Architect asserts that
one of the new building materials which
is likely to be found useful in many ways
is common salt. Among the carpenters
salt is now found to be useful as an aid to
the heating of glue. Where, as is usual
in joiners' and cabinet makers shops, the
glue is melted in a jacket kettle, sur
rounded by water, it is said to be advis-
able to put salt in the water in the outer
kettle. The addition of salt raises the
boiling point, and, therefore, allows the
glue in the kettle to be kept at higher
temperature than could be maintained
with water alone, and this is advanta-
geous to the work. The masons find
their use for salt in adding it to cement
mortar in cold weather, to preserve it
from the bad effects of freezing.
1t is not quite clear why the salt should
act in this way, as the beneficial results
of using it are visible with mortar which
has certainly been frozen, and frozen salt
water expands nearly as much as fresh
water. But engineers and contractors
who have tried it are unanimous in their
opinion of its value. In many cases
masonry has been laid in cement in cold
weather. using o considerable proportion
of salt in the mixture, which after re-
peated freezings and thawings has re-
manned in perfect condition, while work
near by laid in mortar of the same kind,
but without salt, has been disintegrated
by the frost. American.

nevenge Among INC Afghane.

Badal, or revenge, is the soul Of Afghan
life. All the history of Afghanistan, both
public and private, is one continued tale
Of vendetta. However, it chances that I
have not in my collection any song Of
vendetta illustrating this side of Afghan
life in manner sufficiently character
istic to deserve quotation. Suffice it to
say that vendetta is with the Afghans
what it is with the Corsicans. the Alba
mans, all primitive mountaineers; it is
hereditary and not to be prescribed. Even
on British territory the law is powerless
against the badal; it is one of the crimes
for which no witness will be found to
speak before the judge in kachehri. There
is hardly an Afghan in the mountain who
has not foe who aims at his head and
at whose head he aims. It happens not
seldom that an Afghan sepoy from Yag-
histan-many Afghans from over the
border enlist in the native contingent
asks for leave for private business; that
means that there is up there some VOLTS
head which he has to take. There is q
story of an Afghan sepoy, who, having
not joined his paltan in due time, COM
planned bitterly of the iniquity of his
officer, who had dismissed him from ser
vice: II had a duty Of badal to perform:
had a foe to kill. The scamp absconded
for weeks; what could l do?" -Contem-
porary Review.

Star Chamber Courts.

The first Star chamber court of our
knowledge held in this city, was the
one held by Justice D. G. Maxwell
last Thursday morning in the trial of
Mr.. +. A Black, for assaulting Prof.
Lawrence, of Biddle University.
The writer sought and was refused
admittance to the trial. This new
ruling of Justice Maxwell is another
evidence of the little regard these lat
ter day magistrates have for the
people. Justice Maxwell refused to
admit reporters or any one except the
witnesses. What law he has for such
actions we do not question, for he is
an honorable justice of the peace.
The matter will certainly be published
as the Justice we'll knew when he had
his door shut against the public.
His action will cause the more said

Gen. Butler, as is well known, is the
ideal man to interview-when he is will

both ends of the conversation, debating
questions and answers; and he has been

was not a shorthand man, to call in his
private secretary and make that unfortu-
nate man do the reporters work. We

Education in Germany.

The Germans are rapidly developing
system Of evening continuation classes
which carry on education for two or three
years longer. In Saxony the boys who
leave the primary school, if they do not
go to the higher schools, must attend for
three years longer say until they are II
continuation classes for at least five
hours per week. But teaching is pro-
vided for them, and they are encouraged
to attend twelve hours per week. So
complete is this system that even the
walters at the hotels up to the age of II
attend afternoon classes, and are taught
one or two foreign languages. l take
Saxony as one OF the most advanced
states, but the law is much the same in
Wurtemberg and Baden, and the system
is found to work SO well that it is in con-
temptation to extend it to all the states in
the German empire, and Austria will
probably follow suit. This is confidently
expected to happen in the course Of 1888.
may state as an undoubted fact that
in Germany and Switzerland, aid l be-
lieve in some other continental countries,
the opinion is ripening into a conviction
that the education, even Of the poorest
class, should be continued in some form
Or another to the age of 16 or II. They
find by experience that wherever this is
adopted it gives an enormous advan-
tage to the people in the competition of
life, and, above all, trains them to habits
of industry and mental application. be-
lieve tits owing to this system Of thorough
education that Germany has almost eX-
tinguished the pauper and semi-pauper
class which is the bane and disgrace of
our country.-London Times.
