The outlook for the Durham to
bacco market grows brighter. w,
Duke Sons & Company, by rea-
son of the agreement with the
three other largest cigarette firms
have withdrawn their orders from all
the other markets and will buy their
sock ON the Durl ann market. Now
perhaps some farmers would like to
know how many cutters and sm0-
kers it takes to supply this firm. We
will tell you. 1t will take more than
six million pounds. They are COM
PEELED to have these grades of tobae-
co in as large quantities as We mer-
toned.
Besides the Dukes, the Blackwell
Hurham Tobacco Co, have agreed
to buy all they can get on our mar
ket suitable for their stock. This
means six millions more. Then there
is z. |. Lyon 4 Co, Faucette Durham
Tobacco 4 Snuff Co, R. F. Morris,
Sons X Co, Corbett, Christian K Co,
and the ]. y. Whitfield Tobacco Co.
requiring one and half million,
more, making thirteen and oae-half
million pounds, Now our manufac-
turers will require this enormous
amount. Where are they going to
get it? They can pay three cent,
per pound more for the tobacco in
Durham than they can to buy it on
any other market. Then besides thi,
there are large number of buyers
representing leading manufactures
who will bay largely. Then there
arr the Spectators who are ever ready
to take all thew can get. Does il
not prove to any one that Durham
tobacco buyers can pay mere than
any other market in North Carolina.
They FAUST lave the tobacco.

Paradoxes of Science.

The water which drowns us, llu- ont stream, can be walked upon as ice. The bullet which, when fired from musket, carries death, will be harmless if ground to dust before be- ing fired. The crystalized part of the oil of roses, so graceful in it's fragrance--a solid at ordinary tenn peratures, though readily volatile Is compound substance, containing exactly the same elements. and in exactly the same proportions as the gas with which we light our streets. The water which will allay our burn ing thirst, augments it when con gealed into snow; so that it is stated by explorers of the Arctic regions that the natives prefer enduring the uttermost extremity of thirst rather than to attempt to remove it by eat ing snow Yet if the snow is melted it becomes drinkable water. Never theless, although, if melted before entering the mouth, it assuages thirst like other water; when melted in the mouth it has the opposite ef- feet. - Backwooa's Magazine,

Christmas Thoughts.

It is now just near enough to the holidays to set the little folks to thinking about old Santa Claus. What a happy time fer the children. And l am sure that grown people who have the right kind of hearts in them, enjoy it no less. We older ones live over again the scenes of our childhood in our participation of the joys of our children. Did yon ever notice a man going home with a load of holiday purchases? See his face light up as he thinks of the bright eyes, the joyous shouts, the glad faces in that little home-circle toward which the warm current of his love ever flows. Does he begrudge the money thus expended? Not he, for has it not brought him in richer re- turns than all his investments in trade? pity the man who is too much absorbed in business matters to think much and often about the children and what he can do for them besides merely providing their food and clothing; who thinks it be- heath his dignity to take aa interest in their little affairs; to chat with them around the evening lamp; in fact, to make himself a loving and companionable father. Many men have made this mistake and did not discover it until standing beside the coffin holding all that is earthly of a little one who had often poured his childish sorrows into ears that gave but a cold and careless hearing. Life is too short and too uncertain, and childhood, at most, is all too lecting to make mistakes like this. So, with the holidays close at hand, don't for get the little ones; and don't wholly forget tue poor and the unfortunate, to whom even a small remembrance will bring much joy and comfort.

there would be none of this and the experiment would have fair trial. Should it prove q success the older States would probably follow, though slowly, in the footsteps of the expc- rimenter. Exactly how the notion got such foothold that twelve men must be right, while eleven or any other number could not possibly be, is hard to understand. Nowhere, except in respect to the jury box, is the doctrine accepted. There would be more sense in it if the rule app piled only in criminal cases; for so. ciety might not unreasonablv demand the agreement of an arbitrary mum her-twelve being as good as any other before a citizen should be tle- prived of his fife or liberty. But there is the same requirement in civil matters where there is no sound foundation for the arbitrary rule.
 Even in criminal cases the rule is practically nullitied In nine cases out of ten the majority does rule in spite of the law that the verdict must be unanimous. The seven men or the eleven men almost invariably weary out the five or one. Or the verdict is settled, as it was in New Jersey a few weeks ago, by tossing a cent. Sometimes there IS an obsti- nate juror who stands out against his associates; but he becomes unpopu- lar and those who have found him obstinate object to sitting with him, and was done in a Michigan court q short time since.
 By all means let Montana trv the majority verdict experiment. If it succeeds-as we think it must the jury problem will be put in course of solution. Exchange.

A Majorily Verdict.

In the draft of the Constitution for Montana there is provision for ma iority rule in juries, and it is earn estly hoped that it may be the be- gining of reform of our jury sys- tenn, There is a growing conviction throughout the country that the re- quiring of unanimous verdict is q mistake, and the experiment of it's abandonment will be watched with q great deal of interest. It is an ex- pertinent that can be tried much bet ter in a new State like Montana, than in one of the old, long settled States. In the latter, even if the constitu- tional obstacles were removed, there would be a barrier of professional conservatism and the prejudice in favor of precedent. In a new State

Some find work where some find rest
 And so the weary world goes on: sometimes wonder which is best

 The ones who strive or those who yield. some hands fold where other hands
 Are riitcd bravciy in the strife; And so through ages and through lands Move on the two extremes oflifc. some feet halt where some feet tread In iirelcSs march, q thorny way; Some struggle on where some have fled, Some seek when others shun the frav some swords rust where others clash. some fall back where some move on. some flags ftIrl where others flash

home in Ohio, his mother a widow.

TAKING DEATH CALMLY.

During tho late war while at one o.
the hospitals at Alexandria the heat
steward told me the following touching
incident; IA young man." he said
"had been placed under my care who
had severe wound in the thigh. The
ball having passed completely through,
an amputation was necessary. The
limb was cut up close to tho body, tho
arteries were taken up and he seemed
TO be doing we'll. Subsequently ono OF
the small arteries sloughed Off; an in
cision was made and it was taken up.
1T is not tho main artery said the
surgeon as he performed the operation.
Had it been so he might have bled to
death before could have taken 1t up.

ways spoke of him, got on finely for q
time and was favorite with us all.

about midnight, when suddenly us /
was passing Charley's bed he spoke to
me. Harry, my leg is bleeding again,
he said. threw back the bed-clothes
and the blood spurted in the air. The
main artery had sloughed of. Forum
ately l knew just what to do, and in an
instant l had pressed my thumb on the
place and stopped the bleeding. TWAS

barely room for my thumb, but sue
ceeded in keeping it there and, arous-
ing one of the nurses, sent him for the
surgeon, who came in on run.
"1 am so thankful, said he, as he
saw me, Tint you were up and knew
what to do, for otherwise he must have
bled to death before could have got
here But on examination of the case
he looked exceedingly serious and sent
for other surgeons. All came who were
in reach, and consultation was held
over the poor fellow. One conclusion
was reached by all. There was no
place to work save the spot where my
thumb was placed, they could not work
under my thumb, and If removed it
he would bleed to death before the
artery could be taken up. There was
no way to save his life.

they told him, and he requested that
his brother, who was in the same hos
pital, might be called. He came and
sat down by the bedside, and for three
hours stood there and by the pressure
OF my thumb kept up the life of Char
ley while the brothers had their last
conversation. The last word was said,
the last goodbye spoken, and then
turning to me he said: Now, Harry, /
guess you had better remove your
thumb, "Oh, Charley, how can lp"
said ]. "But it must be done, you
KNOW" he replied. ~ thank you very
much for your kindness, and now

life current gushed forth and in three

THE ENGLISH PULPIT.
Ways and Manners of Preachers Living Il
thu nnNa of I.nIIincr.

| NHe bh0h VI hNIttntTs
Tho people did not come simply tC
be taught, they came TO be interested
to be moved, TO hear evildoers, even II
in high places, denounced unsparingly
With the gradual awakening OF mems
minds which came with the sixteenth
century, the power of the pulpit in
creased amazingly. The nation was
! divided into two schools of thought'
the opponents of each side endeavored
10 persuade by means of the pulpit,
while they coerced- by means of the
stake and tho prison. Have at them,
Master Latimer, have at theml" cried
the people who filed st. Paul's Church
yard to the preacher, as they made a
passage for him to reach the Cross.
They had no idea OF being listeners
only-"passivo buckets to- be poured
into"--they intended to show which
way their sympathies went in the great
question then agitating England, to
mark approval or disapproval of senti-
ments delivered. Thus, when shortly
afterward Bishop Bonner was preach

the crowd threw dagger at him as
emphatic mark of disupprobation. 1t
is easy to note In the language Of the
sermons of that time how unrestrained
the preacher was. Lutimer, when he
was preaching, scattered denuncia-
tions, epithets, invective and sarcasm
about him in a way which modern
audience would not appreciate. He at
tacks the Judges for unfairness, for
taking of tribes; the citizens OF London
for their selfishness, their greedy ex-
travagance; their BROTHER he cries,
"shall die in the streets of cold, he
shall lie sick at their door, and perish
for hunger! The ladies before him are
reproved for their vanity, "laying out
their hair in tussocks and tufts" and
for the general people he has such epi-
thets as you velvet coats, you upskips
you hodipoles, you doddypecks." The
preachers of that time could, moreover,
employ that dangerous weapon. humor,
which a modern preacher had best
avoid. The people then were used to
humor and understood it. Latimer was
once on the want of interest
shown in church services, and blam-
ing the clergy for it. he said: "A
ncighbor met II gentlewoman of Lon
don, and said: Mistress, whittier goest
thou?' Marry said she, Il am going
