No farmer can afford to buy other mowers, as is proved by these facts The cut is one third or one half wider than others; draft at the same time lighter; the perfect floating bar adjusts itself to all inequalities of the land, gl ding over stones and down into hollows, leav- ing a close, even stubble; there Is no choking or clogging, the machine being started in any place without backing; the pitman box can never become cramped and is protected by a heavy steel bar in hont,its entire length; the mower can be instantly thrown into or out of gear without the driver leaving his seat; 1t has the highest wheels and widest tread of any light mower; is as easy to ride as 2 buggy; the one horse mowers arevery paragons of worth; ]; the Deering six and seven foot cuts are the best tw O horse mowers made they do the work so much easier and qaicker; the knives are r not ClulIed after H Whole seasons work, IS the knife sections are so fsfrrow ca instead of inches) that stones do not get in to dull them I send these mowers on trial to any responsi- ble persons. All paris of these mowers broken in the firstyear of service will be supplied free

women come hurrying from their cabins;
the master walks out from his lodge; two
stout fellows in high rubber boots wade
out into the eliptical inclosure formed by
the seine and examine it all round, recti-
flying bitches: the lines reach the ends of
the platform, the horses cease their rounds;
men Jump from the boats and wade
ashore to assist in the landing at either
end they pull, some on the top, some on
the ground line. There is a splash; a
sharp fin cuts the water; steel hooks set
on long handles are tossed to the watchers
in the net; the hauling continues steadily.
Thump, He has him, and tussle occurs
between one of the men and a big stur-
geon, but the man wins and passes the
handle ashore to eager hands, who drag
the struggling fish out Of the way Thump
again Another, and another. The light
Of the full moon, the flare of burning
Hghtwood, shining upon these dark eXcit-
ed faces, upon the broad ripping waters
OF the sound, upon the boats With their
heaped seincs and groups Of watchful
men, upon the close drawn Let cleaning
with silver sparklings, forms 4 picture
never TO be forgotten. The bottom is in
and secured to the platform. Nov
pull ALL" Back and back 60 the men,
pulling with might and nam Throw,
Back flies the top line toward the water,
followed Instantly by the men, VINO catch
meShes of the net ia each hand and pull
and tug once more. The fish in the buut
come in sight and roll in upon the plat
form, the water spouting from the seine
in tiny lets Pull hardies, There she
is and in rolls the great mass, while the
men III the water put up the hinged bar
riers. Then all of the seine is withdrawn
and tossed out of the way and the catc
lies shining like FURNISHED silver i 100
shad, 5000 herrings, 40 rock and a mis-
cellaneous lot of eels, cats suckers, gar
and what not.
Oft start the boats for another shoot,
the fish house hands begin their duties,
and five hours hence precisely the same
scene viii be again enacted.

..fIRST STEPSIN NORTH CAROLI-
Ma HISTORH.''

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
our accomplished friend, Mrs. G, p
Spencer, has laid a great debt upon her
native State in the production OF THIS
charming little book 1t has risen above
the horizon with a suddenness which has
nearly taken cur breath. Without any
heralding. with no subsidized Iatterers,
leaving the questions OF admiration and
patronage to be settled hereafter, il very
modesty bids for our approval and we are
frank to say that it gets it. This Is not
the notable North Carolina History 50 long
predicted by the press. That Is to be
profound and elaborate performance, full
of wonderful views of men and measures.
But this is something a great deal wiser
and better. ii is a sweet, wholesome,
health giving child's history, written in
style borrowed from wonder land, its
language bright and sunny, its sentences
rolling along like the blue tides of the sea
in summer time, and its free spirit Of pa
triotism and good sense captivating every
reader. If the bright boys and girls Of
our graded schools do not make friends
with this book we have greatly misunder
stood them We hope and believe it is to
be the wizard volume Of our school litera-
ture, making to every chlld's fancy the
musty, dusty annals of North Carolina TO
be transformed 1t is high tioe for such
a miracle to be wrought. Beautiful for
situation, the Joy of the whole earth,
North Carolina has yet been pauper for
the want of good histories Mrs. Spencer,
in one of the sweetest spots ever trOd by
toiler or dreamer, sets the keynote OF this
work. She not only shows that North
Carolina history is full of interest, but
that it can be written with the pen of IN
spration. She shows a beautiful phlloso-
ply in first telling her story to the lnno-
cent intelligence of the school-room. She
thus not only stimulates the ambition and
scholarship of the student, but creates a
new highway for historical composition,
and shapes the historians Of the future.
We hope to see this dainty volume III every
| school in the State.
