FOOT NOTES.

| The Seer etary OF the Treasury has
appointed the following store-keepers
and gaugers: Jos. l.. Moritz, Meade
Camp, n. c.; Calvin G. Church, Mil
ler's Creek, N. c., and Marshall S.
Church, Adley, N. c.
There are nearly 250 nominations
pending before the Senate, the most
of them for postmasters. There is no
reason why they should not be con-
firmed except that the Republicans
want to keep the places for Harrison
| to fill.
The active support that Mr.. Blaine
is giving Mckinley in his fight for the
Speakership is having its effect. His
chances are now regarded as best by
close observers, but if Blaine should
get turned down" by Harrison it
will cause big tumble in Mckinley
stock.
Tom Reed of Maine, is much dis
cemftted at the manner in which
Blaine is undermining his strength
in the Speakership canvass. Blaine
never forgets or forgives an injury,
and nothing is too small for him to
undertake in order to get even with
people.
An amendment giving a bounty Of
one cent per pound on all sugar pro-
duced in this country was sdded to
the Senate Tariff bill, but required a
vigorous use of the party whips 10
bring the Republican Senators in line,
and even then Senator Quay voted
against it.
Bills have ibeen introduced in the
Senate to provide lighthouses, light
house sites, beacon lights and new
structures in North Carolina as fol-
lows: Cape Hatteras light station,
$4,000; off Fork Point, Roanoke Is
land, Croaton Sound, $4,000; at
North River bar, $4,000.
Senator Morgan has given 'gran-
n.y. Blair another tongue lashing.
Some people would get tired of such
treatment, but Senator Blair seems to
thrive on it, indeed he almost looks
disappointed if he has anything to
say and does not receive some abuse.
He often gets it from his own party
as well as from Democrats.
Mr.. Randall is receiving many let
ters urging him to report the Cowles
internal revenue bill. Nothiug has
| yet been determined as to when the
committee on appropriations will take
the matter up, but there will be a de-
| cided pressure from Southern Demo.
Gratis to get the matter before the
House soon after the tariff bill has
been passed in the Senate.
The old adage that "a house divided
against itself shall fall" is likely to
prevent the passage of bill admitting
| Utah as State, Notwithstanding the
| fact that Democratic caucus of the
House has agreed to pass it. Gov
ernor West, of Utah, is here working
hard to prevent the passage of such a
bill, and Delegate Caine, of the same
territory, is vigorously working in its
favor. Both being Democrats, what
they have to say on the subject is care
fully listened to by their party asso-
ciates.

Kissed the Wrong Ono.

A lrmouth IN. H. paper is re-
sponsible for the following: "a re-
spectacle gentleman went to the cars
one day to see his daughter off. Sc
curing her seat, he passed out of the
cars and went round to her window to
ssy a parting word. While he was
passing out the daughter left her seat
to speak to a friend, and at the same
time grim old maid took the seat and
moved up to the window. Unaware
of the Important change inside, he
hurriedly put his face up to the win
dow and said, sOne more kiss, sweet
petv In another instant the point OF
a cotton umbrella was thrust from the
window, followed Dy the pious injunc.
ton, "Scat, you gray headed wretch!'
He "scatted."

want to say that the public roads
should be worked under the present
law modified 1. e., levy tax on
property sufficient to purchase suitable
tools and pay ovorseers for their extra
time and trouble. Make it somewhat
to their advantage to be overseers and
good men will not shirk it.
Put the convicts for short terms ON
the roads leading out from the court
houses. Let them begin macademiz-
ing. When they have gotten mile
on one road, then go back and begin
on another, and so on till all impor
tant roads are put in good condition
for mile, and then begin to extend
the work farther. By this plan the
convicts can be kept in Jail at night
with little expense.

To Try 1t Again.

The Piedmont Exposition Company
of Atlanta, Ga, which had a most
successful exhibition in 1887, has
determined to hold another one this
fall. The grounds and buildings are
to to raise $4,000 to put the shown show in
running order and to provide for con-
tingencies, of which the Exposition
Company will subscribe $4,000, and
the business men and railroads will be
asked to subscribe the balance It is
to be an exposition of Atlanta's in
dustries and the resources and indus
tries tributary to Atlanta. The last
exposition at Atlanta was one of the
most complete held in this country,
but it is intended the coming one shall
surpass it in all respects.

have had no communication with
Mr.. Blaine for years, and would not
have anything to say upon his promo
ton but for fashion / have of de-
spising hypocricy and cruelty. The
question has arisen to the proportions
of cause in human nature. If
Blaine is not good enough for, the
Cabinet it follows that he is good
enough for nothing; therefore the
popularity and resources Of this man
are to be used by every body who goes
into the Presidency, and he is to be
thrown aside afterwards as unworthy,
he is to be the Joan of Arc for our
Charles VII, and carry the Ori-
famine. But after the victory is won
and the crown secured he is to be
handed over to the English and burn
at the stake.

SUFFERING SAILORS.
me Terrible Experience OF NIno Casta-
was I'm tho Caribbean

wa.Ss I'm tho Caribbean.
Nine shipwrecked sailors lived for
over three weeks, in April last, on q
desert island only thirty miles from
the southeast corner of Jamaica.
They were entirely naked, for in their
terrible struggle to get ashore after
their bark had foundered on a
coral reef they lost all their clothing.
For two days they were without drink,
but they finally obtained, by digging,
a small supply of very brackish water.
They had no means of kindling q fire,
and were compelled to eat their food
raw. They found q few cocoanuts,
caught a few birds and a number of
sea crabs. and eked out q very meager
diet with some little roots like tho
common white radish. Their story is
oil the more interesting because the
adventure occurred in tho West Indies.
within a short distance of the large
town Of Kingston, Jamaica, where it
would hardly be believed that ship
wrecked sailors could suffer so long
without succor. In fact. relief did not
como until after two of the crew had
reached Jamaica on q raft

was on her way from Montevideo to
Pensacola when. nn a dark ant. stormy
night, she struck IN a reef outside the
Morant Aeys, and in q few minutes sank
In deep water. Seven of the crew were
drowned, but Captain Stewart and
eight men, after clinging to the wreck
age until daylight, succeeded in getting
ashore. Ha!f starved, terribly Bills
tered and burned by the hot sun and
some of them 80 weakened by their
struggles in the sea as to be almost
helpless, they were from first to last
in q most pitiable condition. There is
no telling how long their suffe"ings
would have continued if they had not
at lastsucceeded in making a frail raft
that bore two of the men safely to
Jamaica +.
Out Of an old piece of bagging,
some bits of llanket, and a mat
tress that had been washed ashore
they contrived to rig some sails for
their raft It was Just three
weeks after they landed on the island
that Jones and Allan, two sailors,
started for Jamaica. The provisions
they carried were all the cocoanuts
that were left Oh the island, piece of
pork that had washed up on the
beach, and nine pints of water in old
bottles thew had found on ths island.
The raft sank eighteen inches below the
water in the center, but at the ends It
was slightly elevated above the sur
face. The men were too weak to
stand, and during the forty-eiRht
hours required to sail thirty miles to
Jamaica they were constantly in water
up to their waists. Landing nea-
Morant Bay. they were picked I'D
nearly dead from exhaustion and
taken to Kingsto.I, where they were
kindly cared for. Relief was prompt
ly sent to their comrades, and the
whole party wero landed in England q
few weeks ago.
The Pacific has of late years been
the most prolific scene OF castaway
stories; but the thrilling adven lures OF
the crew OF the Gettysburg show that
sailors along our Eastern shores may
also meet with experiences now and
then Of the Robinson Crusoe order.--
