escaped arrest and punnisll-
ment.
And whereas, the growing
frequency of thesecrilnes and
the apparent immunity from
punishment Of their perpetra
tors has caused grave appre
tensions among the intelli.
gent and virtuous citizens,of
the State, and have brought,
great scandle and disgrace
upon our community.
Now, therefore, l, Daniel q.
Fowle, Governor of North
Carolina, do issue this my
proclamation, enioining all
officers, and especially those
charged with the administers
tion and execution of the laws
in the lO,1,hnties where the Of
fences mentioned have been
committed. .toenergatirallyex
ert themselves to arrest and
bring to justice these Offend
els against the stability Of
society. Tnelaws must, and
shall be maintained. The Fix
ecutive is ready to exercise
all the power conferred upon
him, including the Offering Of
rewards and the employment
of special agencies, to pre-
serve the peace of society and
protect the good name OF the
people OF the slate.
While it js a cause for pro-
found sorrow that these evils
should have any existence
within our borders, there is
some consolation found in
the fact that they are confin.
ed to very few and restricted
localaties. The great body
of the people are sober, indus
trious and law abiding. They
have ever been remarkably
distinguished among the
States Of the Union for revel'-
ence for tie law and steady
support Of it's ministers. TO
this people | appeal to aid
me, and thei" other servants
in suppressingthe evils refel r
ed to. A sound public senti-
ment, makingitselfheard and
fealt fearlessly on all proper
occasions, will not only en-
courage those who are charg
ed with the difficult, and Of
ten dangerous duty of execu-
ting the laws, but will soon
SO impress the criminals
themselves, that they will not
dare attempt to accomplish
their wicked and dangerous
purposes.

There's Millions in III.

81 have Just got back from trip to
China, said an American, the other
day, "and the one thing that struck me
most fOrcibly of ali the queer things to
be seen there was the wretched agri-
cultural implements the people use. I
am in that line Of business myself, you
know, and that is the reason, I sup
pose, why the want Of good tools i'm
pressed me so much If the Chinese
are as shrewd and inventive as they
claim to be, why have they used for
thousands of years a pillow that is sim
ply a broad blade fastened to one rough
handle and never cuts the ground
deeper than six inches, generally two
or three? They thresh yet with a stone
roller and winnOw by tossing the grain
into the air. For a harrow they use
the hoe, and everything else about the
farm Is on a similar scale. The nation
is largely composed of farmers and
there ought to be a splendid market
there for American implements. One
great obstacle in the way, of course, is
the conservative spirit of the people,
and another their extreme poverty;
but if they once could be walked up to
the possibilities that lie in the use of
decent farming tools, the magnitude of
the demand that would ensue would
well repay the pioneer manufacturer
who risked some money in the endeav-
or. If 1 could only pick up some cute
washee-washee man In this city who
could speak enough English for me to
understand him and who had business
capacity enough to go among his coun-
trymen and show them how to use and
sell the machines, 7 think I could make
my fortune and his in a short time. -

Snfders, Webs.

Probably every person who has spent
a summer in the country has been sur
prised, while taking a morning walk,
to note the immense number of gossa-
mer-hke webs, gIstening with dew,
that have been spread upon trees,
shrubs, grass, fences and hedges dur
ing the preceding night.
There is a common belief, by no
means confined to the ignorant, that
these webs fall from the sky In show
ers. but wherever they come from, there
is little doubt that they are woven by
the gossamer spider. It was an ancient
notion that the gossamer was made by
dew. that had burned In the sun, and
one learned man of OIden times even
went so far as to advance the theory
that it was not unlikely that the white
clouds, SO frequent In summer, were Of
