Setting q TurkeY,s I.er.

Last summer Mrs. James Mcconnell, of Cadiz, O., had a brood of fine young turkeys caught in hailstorm, by which several of them had each leg broken. The grass be- ing high near the house she could only find one of the unfortunates, which she picked up care1ully and, with spllnters placed on either side of the fracture, bound up the broken part. A day or two passed and she had forgotten the incident, when what was her astonishment one afternoon to see ap- preaching her in the yard the old turkey and all her brood-fve-with broken legs, These, under the leadership of the one she had operated upon, came chlrping up to her and would not leave until she had bound each one's fractured leg

Uses of CelIulOid.

"Celluloid is turned out in this city in large quantities. said prominent dealer to New York MaiI and Express reporter. "The method of it's manufacture is peculiar. A roll of paper is slowly unwound and at the same time saturated with a mixture of five parts of s,lphurio acid, which falls upon the paper in Q fine spray After this the roll Is pressed and washed. It is re- duced to pulp and passed through bleach ing-trough, whereby it becomes charged with pyroxvline (gun-cotton), which gives 1t it's explosive nature. Celluloid, in it's use as a substitute for ivory, has already exercised worldwide cffect upon the lyory industry. This composition Is already used for billiard balls, combs, backs of brushes, hand mirrors and other toilet articles, whip. cane and umbrella handles, every kind of harness trimmings, foot rules, chessmen, handles of knives and forks, pencil cases. ]ewelry of all kinds, pocSet-pieces, mouth pieces for pipes, cigar holders, musical in- strllments, doll-heads, porcelain imitation, hatoands, neckties, optical goods, shoe tips and irsoles, thimbles, emery wheels, skirt cuffs, collars and great variety of other articles which European nations manufact- ure out of their ivory importatlons from India and Africa.

public auction room in New Orleans; an apartment capable of containing upward of hundred people.
 At one end of this room stood the rOs- trum of the auctioneer, while immsdl, ately before his desk was stretched a long table of rough deal, upon which, one by one the slaves took their places, while the auctioneer expatiated upon their merits.
 Round this table was placed benches, on which the buyers and lockers on !ounged during the auction.
 The plantation hands were the first to be sold, and tho sale had lasted for some hours when Toby, the mulatto. slowly mounted the table, and took his stand before the eager eyes of the buyers.
 The countenance of the slave was sad and careworn; and. as he ascended the table, he looked anxiously round the room as if seeking among all those eager faces for some one he expected to see there.
 But it was evident that he looked in vain, for. after long and earnest scru- tiny of that varied crowd. he sighed heavily, and his head sank upon his breast with 8 gesture of despair
 The bidding lasted for some time, and the most persevering bidder was Silas Craig himself, who sat on 8 bench close to the table, and amused himself by whittling stick with his bowie knife
 One by one the other purchasers gave way. and the mulatto fell to the attor- ney
 seconded upon his desk, thus proclaiming that tho bargain was complete, a singu- lar expression illuminated the face of the slave, Tobv
 That expression seemed one of min gled hate and triumph; and, as he de- scended from the platform, the hand of the mulatto mechanically sought for some object hidden in his breast.
 That object was the knife with which Francilia had stabbed herself-rhe knife which Toby had offered the day before to Gerald Leslie.
 The mulatto slowly withdrew into . corner where some other slaves pur- chased by Silas Craig were huddled to- gether, awaiting tho termination of tho sale
 For some moments there was pause. Several among the crowd asked what the next lot was to be. The voice of the auctioneer responded from his rostrum, ''The Octoroon girl. Cora!'
 Again there was pause. There were few there who did not know the story of Gerald Leslie and his daughter, and every one present seemed to draw a long breath.

 Never in her happiest day--never, when surrounded by luxury, wnen sur feited by adulation and respect, had Cora Leslie looked more lovely than to-day.
 Her face was whi,er than marble, her large dark eyes were shrouded beneath heir dropping lids, fringed with long and silken lashes; her rich wealth of

RAILROAD SPEED.

some Semi-Scientifc Comments on ar
 Interesting Topic.
 Many questions have been asked concern, ing the highest speed possible to be attained by railway locomotive The London En 0'ncsr submits the statement that eighty mlles an hour IS the greatest possible limit and for the following reasons;
 Because no greater velocity has ever been attained
 Because of the resistance of the air.
 Because of the back pressure in the cvlin. ders.
 Because Of the amount of power which must mo doubt be lost in imparting violent motions to masses of metal which can make no return when coming to rest. The sw1ng. ing Of the engine, the excessive vibration of It's parts, and the jar and concussion all operate to the same end and tend to keen down tho specd'
 Because of " the extraordinary retardipo Q influence of very moderate rising gradi- ents."
 Because of the coupling rod-"i appears to be beyond question that coupling an en- zine tends to keep down the speed'
 This scarcely seems to settle the matter There is not a defect in the mechanism which can not probably be remedied or inn provlsed The whole question depends on the resistance of the air and of friction The resistance of mechanical friction does not increase with the speed, but with the weight of the load to be drawn, and it does not appear that the resistance of the air through which the train moves increases in such ratio with the accessions of motive power as to neutralize the increase of vel oclty that should ensue With a smooth. solid and stable trackway and improved mechanism for creating and utilizing steam power there appears to be no good reason why trans may not attain the rate of one hundred miles per hour. But it would be manifestly dangerous to attempt such speed on the average American rail way There are, of course, limits to the power of ail mechanism, but it does not appear that all the possibilities Of rapid transit by rail have yet been exhausted.

DIR, wHEELER,s APPOINTMENT.

The news of the appointment OF
DR.. VIM. III. Wheeler to the Wins
ton post office came to the Repnbli-
cans of this county like a thunder
clap. 1t was surprise for two
reasons. DR.. Wheeler lived in
Salem. Besides, he had done little
in the recent campaign, and was not
known as IN applicant for the posi-
ton. AT least it was known to
only few of his coadjutors.
There were three or four petit
tons for leading Republicans, signed
by many of their friends, lying up
at Washington, and DIR. Wheeler
was considered dead cock in the
pit; But, without petition; with
out making noise about it, and
without arousing his following he
stepped in and secured the prize
almost as if by legerdemain.
This is accounted for by two
facts. i, First, DIR. Wheeler has
Green b. Raum and John Sherman
as political friends, and their infu-
ence, together with that Of Col.
Cannady, means much in the fight
for the offices in North Carolina. In
the second place, Capt. Goslen had
offended Brewer by criticising his
vote on the Mills bill, and Johnny
didn't forgive him. As between
him and DR.. Wheeler he owed more
to the latter for campaign work.
Brewers recent threat to bolt the
Republican caucus has scared the
administration and, in order to con-
ciliate him and prevent the possible
ity ola Democratic speaker, they
are giving him any offices he de-
mands, as is shown bv the appoint
ments at Reidsville and Greensboro.
He was specially. active in urging
Wheeler's name.
One result of the appointment is
the downing of the Reynolds wing
again. In olden days the Doctor
and "High Heel used to run the
party. Then Chas Reynolds and
Capt. Goslen got on top in the last
county convention, but now the
Doctor and "High HeeP' are again
on top, and they wear spurs, too.
The appointment of Mr.. II. L..
Shore as post master in Salem is in
line with that of DIR. Wheeler and
shows which faction has the pull on
the public pap.

Rev Mr. Tuttle; of Wilson, and
Rev Mr.. Bid, ofSaIisbury. have been
called from the North Carolina Meth
odist Episcopal Conference to fill po-
sitions in the Texas Conference of
that Church. The appointments were
made by Bishop Key. They willleave
in December next.
Mrs. Jefferson Ball and her twelve
year-old daughter were drowned last
week in Yancey county while attempt
ing to walk a log across u swollen
stream. The bodies ofbotl gers found
some distance down the creek. 4 boy
made a desperate effort to rescue the
drowning people.
A negro man arrived in Raleigh
having walked all the way from Mis-
sissippi.S He is one of the exodusters
who left here last spring. He gives a
bad account of Mississippi and of the
life led by exodusters there. He at
tempted to get back by rail, but had
no money, and so he walked back
rather than remain in that country.

DR.. GRISSOM,S CIRCULAR.

DIR. Eugene Grissom, the mar
who stands Gisgraced in the eyes OF
the people, Notwithstanding the
"white Washing" verdict of the
Board of Directors of the Insane
Asylum, is out in a circular letter
in which he gives the names of lis
gentlemen who have written him
"letters of sympathy and congratu-
lation."
Immediately on reading it the
editor of THE SENTINEL made in
quiries of several gentlemen whose
names appeared and we were not
surprised to hear them say that DIR.
Grlssom took an unwarranted liber-
ty in using their names, and further
that their letters were not meant to
be construed as endorsing the action
of the Board.
As men who had long had close
personal: and fraternal relations thew
meant simply to say to DR.. Grissom
that they were glad he escaped, just
as they would have said had he com~
mitted felony and been acquitted
by too easily satisfied jury. But
they did not mean to say to DIR.
Grissom that they believed him in
nocent. On the contrary, several
with whom THE SENTINEL talked
are glad for his sake that he was
acquitted but think him guilty.
This circular is weak effort to
parry the righteous blows DR.. Girls
som is receiving from the indignant
people of North Carolina.
For long time THE SENTINEL
would not believe DR.. Grissom gull
ty. We read all testimony with the
greatest care, and it was not until
the proof of his guilt forced us to
believe it that we did so. But we
believe it now, and we are with
those who demand his political
scalp.
Unless pr. Grissom resigns both
he and the Board of Directors are
going to hear something drop. The
people of North Carolina will not
allow DIR. Grissom to g6 unwhipt of
justice
