Brother King Ought To Know,


Blessed is the man that liveth in
the far off back woods. where the
linen SHIRT cometh not, and collar
and cuffs are not seen, but his de.
light is in a thin cause, and his feet
looketh best without shoes. And
when he shall lie down the mosquito
will not trouble him and his rest
shall be in peace.

The Crop.

The Nashville ArgOnaut, in
speaking of the crops in Nash,
says: The reports from the to-
bacco crops in the county are
upon the whole encouraging. Re-
ports from the Hilliardston sec
tiou are that on account of the
heavy rains the crop will proba-
bly, fall short in weight, but ex-
perienced growers say that it will
cure very good. Tobaecogrowers
between here and Rocky Mount
give a very tlattering account OF
the prospect for this years crop.
Hon. Il. II. Bum says that in his
vicinity they have the best crop
that was ever known in Nash
county. Mr.. X. IL. Kicks, who il
one of our largest tobacco plant.
ers. says he has got two acresfor
which he would not take one
thousand dollars as it now
stands. From some parts of the
county complaints come that the
crop has beeninjured by excessive
rains, but hope our present fine
weather will do much to remedy
this, aud upon the whole We an.
tiripate a very successful year in
our tobacco industry

Just as We Expected.

Now some party or parties have
already started a LIE in regard to
the tobacco warehouses in Louis
burg, They are reporting that
the houses are to be run by the
same persons, which, to cut the
matter short, is unqualifiedly
false, as this is Just exactly what
the Board of Trade has been try
ing to prevent all this time. Sep
arate contracts have been signed
up with two gentlemen who are
to take charge OF the warehouses,
and we are authorized by the Sec
retary OF the Board of Trade, Mr..
J. J. Barrow, TO say that they
havpnO connection whatever. On
the other hand, the competition
between them will be lively. The
fact that they are both from the
same place need lead no one
astray. They are both men ofex-
pelience and energy, and each one
will put forth every effort to out
do the other. Let our farmers
be on the alert, as many more
such false rumors will soon be set
ahoat by those who do not want
a market established in Louis
burg. Make up your minds to
support Your home market, and
do not listen to the gilt edge tales
ofthe tempter.-Louisburg Times

Do LiaMOrs Produce Eat?

Liquids make fat. There is no doubt
Of this in my mind, though l am fully
cognizant of the fact that good many
people will deny it. The character of the
liquids has good deal to do with it, but
to unwieldy bulk. In Spain, Whefe lie Hen
drink little, fat man is unknown. In
Paris, where men content themselves
with slipping thimblesful of absinthe or
small cups of black coffee, the French are
thin to remarkable degree. The wom-
en-, on the other hand, drink great guam
titles of champagne, Burgundy and lat
terly beer, and they are as result prone
to stoutness. In England men drink ale
and beer, and they are thick necked.
pudgy and heavy race as rule. I had
observed all this many times, and when
went to Germany, where I knew the
consumption of beer was very great, I
had prepared to find fat men in abund-
ance. was not disappointed. There
would seem to be absolutely no end of
big, ,corpulent and unwieldy men in Ger
many. While in the army they are slim
and splendid looking warriors, but two
months after they leave the ranks they
become heavy, puffy and beefy to the
last degree. This is even so in the ranks
among the other soldiers, and the cav
airy were men of such extraordinary
weight that they always excited com.
ment from Strangers Philadelphia

,I In Hayti the people are divided into
three classes-the blacks, the colored and
the whites. The blacks are, of course,
the most numerous, and they are also
the most ignorant. The colored are those
who have mixed blood in them and form
the intelligent portion of the inhabitants.
They are largely in the minority, but
they are the only class competent to con-
duct the government. The whites are
those white men who go down there as
merchants. Many of these marry the
colored girls, and then, of course, be-
come more thoroughly identified with
the best interests of the government. The
people generally, particularly the colored
portion, have curious mixture of traits.
The negroes as race are impressionable
and excitable. They have these quail
ties, and in addition the mercurial tenn
permanent of the French, for nearly all
are sent to Paris to complete theireduca-
tion. This combination makes ,hem diff
ficult to govern, for there is II natural
jealousy between the blacks and tho col
ored, and SO affairs are generally more
or less unsettled. - Washington Star.

Capture and Ilecapture.

A veteran of the Thirty-sixth Illinois
volunteers furnishes this:
After we had fanked Johnston's army
from Dallas, it was, contrary to the usual
custom, the fortune of the First brigade
-Sheridan's old division-to be left be-
hind the army few days, as guard for
an ambulance train. One day two of
our men--oneo of them Jack Tyrrell, COM
missary of our brigade-went to take a
bath beyond and in sight of our picket
line, in small bayou, which temerity
was observed by some of Ferguson's cav
airy lowering in the vicinity, who de-
tached two men armed with sabers and
carbines to bring them in. Being with
out arms they were surprised, and start
ed off Ell deshabille, in the very face of
the pickets, who dared not fire for
fear of injuring the prisoners. Each
rebel started in a different direc-
ton with his charge. After going a
short distance Tyrrell lodged to one side,
exposing his captor to our pickets, who
gave him volley, but missed, on which
the Johnny, out of spite, returned the
shot; when Tyrrell, taking advantage Of
his. empty carbine, sprang and caught
him by his abundant whiskers and
dragged him from his horse. Here a
short struggle ensued, in which the Con-
federate had to give way to northern
muscle, although they were both good
types of their countries, and Johnny,
minus his gun and saber, was marched
to the picket lines by his escort, who
guided him by walking behind him with
one hand in each side Of his whiskers. It
is useless to say that he was received by
the pickets with considerable merriment
The other Confederate, on seeing his COM
rade's fate, and hearing the whir of a
few random shots, fled, and left his
charge to come back at his will
