Caught Between the Corustalks,

The corn in Big Creek is fine, as is illus
trated by the following. A crowd of boys
and a dog were chasing rabbit on Cap
tain II. L. Cunningham place; the dog and
the rabbit run into corn field and were lost
sightof. After awhile the rabbit was found
firmly wedged between two stalks of corn
where it had become fastened in its efforts
to escape. The dog has not yet been heard

FORT wRAEGEL.

Leaving Fort Tongas we still sail north
ward through the inland seas and among the
islands of the so-called Sitkan archipelago,
which skirt the coast of the mainland for
about 400 miles, and stop at intervals to
land freight and allow the passengers to
wander among the huts of the Indians.
Finally we arrive at Fort Wrangel, an In
dian village, having a few white traders,
and formerly trading post and base of sup
plies for large mining district Of British
Columbia which lay in the interior. As we
fire the anchor gun there is a general stir on
shore. The Indian curio women don their
bright colored wraps and prepare for the
siege of curiosity hunters, and while thew
cannot understand our tongue they have
learned the value of our money. We land
on pebbly beach strewn with graceful
canoes and varigated with the brown green
wash of moss and ''kelp" from the sea.
While the ship unloads her cargo we wander
about viewing the low wooden huts and
their quaint and swarthy occupants-ybo
will sell anything they have from basket
or horn spoon to papoose. Here are also
many graves with curious carved wooden
figures upon them; also tall carved wooden
monuments, on totem poles, which are used
by these Indians for much the same purpose
and with the same pride of ancestry as the
crests of European families. These cary-
ings are syIabolical and tell their own story.
They are figures Of the bear, wolf, eagle,
whale, salmon, etc. These Indians, mostly

BOXER AND THE czAR.

"Another American who was personally
a great favorite at the court of Russia, and
with the late Gear as well, was Mr.. George
Il. Boxer OF Philadelphia, at one time
United States Minister to St. Petersburg.
Mr.. Boxer is a good-looking man, with cnl-
tivated tastes, considerable poetic talents,
and refined manners, and he quite won the
heart of Alexander III. by refraining from
making speech on the occasion of
his first private audience. The Car

Minister, and after the preliminary
courtesies had been exchanged, as

ker made remark. The Gear responded,
and again looked expectant. Thereupon

that he had prepared no formal speech for
the occasion and did not intend to deliver

NOTES FROM HALIFAX COUNTY.
Essex ALLIANCE, No. 885.

Essex ALLIANCE, No. 885.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Our Alliance met
Saturday at the appointed hour in
regular order. It was not our regu-
lar time of meeting, but our President
saw fit to call a meeting, for the pur-
pose of attending to some business in
regard to trade, and we hope settled
it satisfactorily to all.
For several months past our lodge
has not increased any in number, as
pretty much all of the good, working
material of the neighborhood has
been worked up. But we now have
three names before the house for ad-
mittance.
There are in all neighborhoods, we
suppose, some who are always ready
to be a drawback. The question is
very often asked by those who are not
members of the Alliance, DWELL,
what good has the Alliance done you?
I don't see that you are any better
off than [ am" Just as if they ex-
pected to see some great result accom-
plished every time we meet. Well

we hope they are as well of as we
are, and perhaps they r better off in
many respects, but as for their seeing
the good results of our order and
work, they never will, until they
open their eyes to q sense of their
duty and g what an obscure position
the farmers of North Carolina now
occupy, and unless we, as other
bodies, unite how can we expect to
be shielded against the strong opposi.
ton we meet =? And to compose this
body, we need brave, honest and ex-
emplary lei and women, those who
are willing to work for the good of
others as well as for themselves. We
don't NEAR to do anything that would
be detrimental to any one. Several
of the Alliances around here have
been opposing lady membership; but
since Bro. Harry Tracy's speech in
this county, 1 believe some of them
have agreed to take them in. We
have thirteen ladies in our Alliance,
and also one application pending.
We are always pleased to hear good
words spoken in favor of the ladies.
With many kind wishes for The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, the kind editor
and all those who may have the grand
privilege Of perusing its valuable
pages, | nm
Very truly,
LIGHTNING.
