One Sign that he Could Read.

Our friend, Mr.. Charley Raney. of
Kittrell, tells us one which is too good
to lose. Coming down on the train
from Greensboro the other day a lady
with two small children were also
aboard Passing each station she was
asked by the inquisitive youngsters
what certain buildings were, and had
to read the signs for them. She had
pointed cut all the mills and factories
along the line until Durham was
reached. Passing Dukes cigarette
factory they wanted to know what that
was, and then the snuff factory, prize
houses. sc. Finally the train stopped
opposite the Blackwell Durham Bull
Smoking tobacco factory. Looking
through the window enc bright little
fellow saw the big pictures that stand
out so conspicuously on the front part
OF the building, when he rapturously ex-
claimed: "Oh. Mama. and there's a
cow factory"

Some idea of the immense business done
by one mercantile firm in Henderson may
be formed when we say that Messrs. s. &
c. Watkins have bought between $S, 900
and $40, 900 worth of clothing alone for
the fall and winter trade, and many of
the goods are now daily arriving. And
then they have placed orders for over
$4,000 worth of shoes, besides hats,
gents furnishing goods, &C., which will
probably foot up as much more. And
these goods have all been bought for
cash, at the usual discount, which of it
self would be handsome profit to small
dealers. They mean business and start
out with the determination to do business
this season.
They have the house, they have the ex-
experience, they have the money, and
they have the goods. These four requi-
sites Of success this firm possesses in the
fullest degree. They lead all others in
amount of stock carried, in styles, quality
and prices.
Their stock OF clothing, hats, shoes,
gents furnishing goods, etc, has been
selected with great care, and speaks for
itself. All they ask is an inspection of it,
and when you see the style and quality
of the goods and learn the pieces you
will be sure to buy of them whatever you
may need in this line.

1t seems TO be the prevailing impression
in Washington that no tariff legislation will
be passed at the present session Of Congress,
and that even if so improbable an event as
the enactment OF the Mckinley measure
substantially in its original form, by the
House, were 20 occur, it would either be
thrown out by the Senate, or so radically
modified rs TO amount 20 a new bill.
II is strongly intimated that Senator ALI
son for one is opposed TO the whole scheme
of the Mckinley bill, and will give express
sion to his views at length when 1t comes
before the Senate Never very extreme in
his opinions, he has had reason to become
still more conservative, on account of the
result OF the election in his State, by which
his return to the senate was put in such
serious jeopardy. That election was prin-
cipally influenced by the discomfort Of
the farming classes, direct consequence
of the unequal working Of the tarin laws
now in operation. senator Allison, who is
noted for his shrewdnoss in calculating poll
teal chances. has seen the current fpoliti-
cal affairs in the West running in opposi-
ton TO the present tariff and it is very un-
likely that he will commit himself in the
Senate TO any course that will otmaterially
diminish ITS burdens.
II is rather surprising that the Republi-
cans, who favor a high tariff as the cardi-
nal principle Of their party, should so fire.
quently indulge an inclination TO tinker
with its provisions. II would appear
wisest on their part TO mNintain the exist
ing law, whatever that may be, with the
fewest changes possible, for every change
produces discomfort, those who have
enjoyed special duty in their
favor, or special exemption from
duty, having come TO look upon IL as
AN established right. \ fair instance is the
duty placed on hides under the terms Of the
Mckinley bill. which has created much more
IN feeling ON the part Of those who would be
injured by il. than good feeling among those
who would be benefited. To have allowed
the matter 10 continue 10 stand as IL had al
ways been, would have, on the whole, accom-
plished more substantial good for the Re
publican party than the proposed change Is
likely 10 accomplish.
II. after all, no tarfl legislation is passed
at the present session Of Congress. that fact
will prove an advantage rather than dis
advantage 10 the Republicans, while Il
can neither injure nor benefit the Demo
cratic party TO any very important degree.
The Republicans probably recognize this,
and in consequence, will either make few
radical alterations in the present tariff. or
will maintain II 10 all intents and purposes,
precisely ~ Il now stands.

The tributes Of gratitude, respect andven-
Grafton which the German people are now

the man Of blood and iron. whose whole

must, IN spite Of his old age, find the mac

disagreeable, for the fiery energy of his
spirit still remains unquenched, and the
yigor of his physical frame is not seriously
impaired.
II can be easily imagined with what keen
and lively interest his sagacious mind f0l-
lows the contemporary events, not only IN
the history Of Germany but also Europe
The Prince may yet develop a disposition
to initiate the example of Napoleon on the
island Of ST. Helena, in preparing for the
benefit Of posterity the memoirs Of his re-
markable life. That life is associated with
the most glorious period i'm the annals o.

In point Of fact, New Mexico has more ex-
collcnt grounds upon which to base It's
claim TO Statehood than Wyoming. The
population OF the latter territory does not
exceed l25.ooo, according to the statement
OF its delegate In Congress. The population
Of New Mexico. on the other hand, by the
last census. amounted 10 100000, and in the
course Of the last ten years has advanced to
a. least $4,000, and is by some. whose means
Of acquiring information ON the subject are
very good, estimated as high - 22j,OOO.
In 1852. the assessed property Of Nyom-
ing was SSl, 100000, while that Of New Mex
leo was SiS.G90,72& II should be recalled
in this connection. that the prices Of i've
stock had declined very much when TINS "7-
sessmcnt was made, these prices ha'in-
now advanced very apprcciably' although
moi so much as they will do in the near iu-
,uro if expectations are well grounded.
The wealth Of both territories consists prin-
cipally Of sheep and cattle. In this respect
New Mexico has very much the advantage
over Wyoming, its sheep and cattle exceed
ing in number those Of Wyoming by about
100000. an enormous disproporton
in the leading industry Of these TWO
territories. In Wyoming there are only ten
organized counties. In New Mexico. ON
the other hand, there are fourteen. Ina the
matter Of education, New Mexico makes
showing which is superior TO that Of Nyom-
ing.
And finally. New Mexico is the only terri
tory which the United states has pledged
itself formally TO admit as a state into the
Union, the provision having been intro
duced into the treaty drawn up by Guada-
the time, however, being dis
cretionary with Congress.
