A great deal is being said just now
about the Southern question" Per-
haps when Gen. Harrison goes into
Office some one will call his attention
to the Crawford county question"
in his own State of Indiana. There
is not negro living in that county,
nor has one ever been permitted to
stop there. A poor colored roust-
about, driven from the boat on which
he had been employed, sought a ref
uge in Crawford for few days on
~, but was forced to move on. He
should have dropped in on the Re
pnblicans there when national cleo
ton was being held. This would
have insured him at least one day Of
rest and two dollar bill

THE EFFECTS OF MARRIAGE.

Our exchanges for the past few
weeks have come to us laden with
marriage notices, until it began to
look as though all North Carolina
was going to marry or be given in
marriage.
Few men pass through the expert
ence of marriage without some
change, for betttr or worse, in their
outward condition at least. In
many cases the change is an imz
provement, source of enjoyment to
the man himself, and subject for
fattering comment on the part of
his friends. This is especially so
with regard to slovenly fellows,
who often look, after they have come
into the hands of neat and ener-
getic wife, as if they had just gone
through Turkish bath, had their
cravats tied, and been fitted out
newly by a competent tailor.
1t is with shock of pleased sur
prise that one meets man Of this
character soon AFTER his marriage,
finding him not merely clothed, as
of yore, but dressed, brushed, and
trimmed as to his hair, and well
shaved. In fact, he seems to have
acquired new set Of bones; his
back is certainly straighter, the
shape of his head is altered entirely,
and pair of well-defined shoulders
have emerged from the mass of cloth
under which they were formerly
concealed. Nor is the change phys
ical only: the married mans morale
has improved. He looks out upon
the world with face cleaner and
brighter than it was in his bachelor
days; and the consciousness of pre-
senitng good appearance has raised
him fifty per cent. in his own esti-
nation, and therefore 25 per cent. in
the opinion of others. And all this
is due to marriage-an institution
that sages and cynics in every age
have ridiculed!
1t is true that the Improvement is
not always permanent, for affection
may wane, the wife. may cease to in
terest herself in her husbands APP
pearance, and the husband to care
for his wife's opinion. When a
young man marries an heiress the
changes in his outward condition are
more subtle but none the less inter
esting. Very soon-miraculously
soon, indeed-he becomes little
stouter, ard his walk is slower, his
feet being planted more solidly and
more carefully than they were when
they carried bachelor. His clothes
turn darker by one shade at least,
and his watchchain is certainly a
thought heavier. The handle of his
umbrella, also, has become percepti-
bly, bigger, whereas his scarfpins are
undoubtedly more quiet in character
less fantastic or trivial. Observe
him on his way to church we'd
ding, for example, and mark how
different is his mode of progre sion
from that of an unattached and mis-
cellancous youth. The rogue knows
that good seat will be reserved for
him near the head of the aisle, and
that he has no occasion for hurry.
When he drives out in his substan-
tial dog cart or mail phaton, and
he escheweth-not perhaps altogeth-
er without regret-the side-bar
buggy, which he used to think the
kind of vehicle, that he would have
if he were rich. He is now a sub
stantial person in the community
a family man, capitalist by prory
land he begins to have serious
views on political and financial mat

in Northern aud Northwestern mar

OIL LAMPS PREFERABLE


To the Evidently Grounded Circuits That
Supply Electric Lights in the Magn;fi-
cent New Court House-Will They Re-
Wire lie
Some people are inclined to%hink the
County Commissioners did not make any
money by letting the contract for lighting
the Court House with electricity to the low
est bidder, though they find no fault with
the Commissioners for doing so, as it was
'strictly business 1t has all along been
held by the Competitors of the United States
Electric Light Company that it had taken
the contract at too low rate to allow the
work to be done right, and these competitors,
or some who at least talk as though they
were their champions, the Westinghouse
and Edison companies, now point to the
work of the lamps in the Court House In
proof of their assertions If the work of the
lamps be the best the United States Com
pany can do, the detractors have certainly
won their case, for half a dozen OF the
burners do not give as much illumination as
one should do.
Commissioners McWilliams and Mercer
were spoken to yesterday regarding the mat
ter. and they did not seem prepared TO de-
liver an ex-cathedla opinion. They stated
that it was possible, and they seemed to
think probable, that the wires were
grounded" so that the greater part of the
current was wasted, and that the trouble
might be remedied.
In the various departments the opinion
was expressed that the ftful kerosene lamp
would be an immense improvement. The
matter will be overhauled ere long, and the
nature, cause and cure of the trouble in
vestigated and remedied, as something must
be done, or the Court House habitues will
soon resemble a spectacle bestridden school
of German sayants.

TO DO UP THE WORKERS.

Macbeth & Co. to Erect n Warehouse and
Put in n Stock to Last Two Years-Work
to be Commenced Soon.
Macbeth & Co., the largest chimney man.
ufacturers in the world, is the first firm in
this section to take steps to prevent any en-
barrassment on account of labor troubles
next summer. There seems to be no doubt
that the workers will demand an advance in
wages during the summer shutdown. This
in order to do so the chimney men will be
compelled to have stock on hand to supply
the trade until the trouble is settled.
The firm of Macbeth & Co. have made,
or rather, are making, provisions to supply
the trade, strike or no strike. No firm III
the city has any extended facilities for
stocking its product that is not sold At
present wages chimneys can be made
cheaper and better than ever before
In order to build up stock to carry the
firm through an ordinary strike, Macbeth &
Co. have decided to erect a large warehouse.
The contract for the building was let yester-
day, and the warehouse will be the largest
in the county. 1t will be built at the corner
of South Ninth and old Sarah streets The
dimensions of the building according to the
plans, will be 296x64 feet, and five stories
high. The building will require fully
!, 500, 900 brick to build it.
This building will be used to store all
chimneys not sold between the time it is
completed and the workers strike for an ad-
vance in wages, if the latter should ma
terialize. The proprietors of the works pro-
pose to have warehouse in which they can
store a tWo-years' supply More mon will
be put to work, and every effort made to
''stock up"
The information given above came from
a seemingly very reliable source; but when
Mr.. George A. Macbeth was spoken to last
evening, he refused to ADMIT that the firm
intended to erect such warehouse for such

Regular Increase in Private Property
Assessments - Big Increase in Glass
Houses and Mills.
Official and final assessments on property
in the Twenty-ninth ward, issued yester-
day, show uniform increase, though it is
especially noticeable in valuable mill prop
erty, as is indicated in the following sample
comparisons:
The Iron and Glass Bank is raised 81, 900 over
1887; Mrs P. Shannon's lot and glasshouse is
S79,55O, compared to $50, 400 last year; Adams &
Co.'s glasshouse, S56979, to S47,724; George
Duncan & Sons, 557l1, to 81, 323; Doyle & Co.,
SS7.3S0 to S2S,06S.
George A. Macbeth is nearly doubled, the
rise being from s16,372 in S8 to S3l 200 in 'S9;
A. NJ. Byers & Co., on Bingham street, S2l5, ,S37
to S15S.350 last year: A. Garrison Foundry Com
pany, Sl2s los to Sl09 $50; H. B. Scutt & Co., lot
and factory SIS 800 to So $50 in $751; Oliver Bros.
& Phillips, S252, los to Sl32,S94.
In the Thirteenth ward regular advance
is also shown. with the exceptions, as usual,
in the case of large manufacturing interests:
Abel, Smith & Co., on Carson street, are ad-
vanced to S13l, ,017 from sS7, OIL last year; Rob-
inson, Rea & Co., lot and foundry, to S1l3, $50,
from SIS, $50; G. T. Robinson. II acres and
house on Coal Hill to $40, 5S2, from S2i, 776 The
South Pittsburg Planning Mill Company on Nc
Kean street is an exception, being assessed at
S2o, 800 for 1889 to $50 1854 in 1888. There is
tainly most notable advance in the assessed
valuation of Dilworth, Porter & Co. 1t was
SlS2970 last year, but rises to S24S 204 this sea-
son. Then the Oliver Wire Company, Limited,
came up from S53,S34 to S76.9S2; William Rich
ards, $40, 54S to Sl245C.
These are the most noticeable cases,
though the increased value of properties
under $4,000 in value is quite up to the
average.
