PURSUIT AND CAPTURE.

He fed, and when the woman recov-
cred sufficiently to arouse her neighbors a
mob started in pursuit of the brute. They
ran him down Wednesday night, brought
him in Mrs. Pritchard's presence for identi-
fication yesterday and last night hung MIN
to tree near the railroad switch. His body
was then riddled with bullets, and when the
passenger train came through this morning
1T was still hanging there. There is great
excitement, and none of Jackson's friends
dare to cut his body down."

Senator Evarts and Epherim.

In the employ of Senator William
Maxwell Evarts isa colored citizen by
the name of Epherim, and his business
is to do "chores" around the house and
make himself generally useful. Until
the other night Epherim has not wan
dered an inch from the paths OF rectitude.
It was the night when a dinner was CIV
en- to Secretary Blaine, and the Senator
from New York was rather late in return
ing home. As lie was taking off his over
coat he heard tremendous racket in
the basement and ran down stairs to sec
what had broken out. In the fur
mace room he found Epherim en-
gagged in q terrible hand-to-hand en-
counter with q step-ladder, and the
latter appeared to have the best OF it,
for in the struggle Epherim had been
thrown and the ladder lay on top of
him.
In his capacity rs peacemaker MIR.
Evarts soon released his servant from
the grasp Of his assailant and asked an
explanation. Epherim told long and
somewhat incoherent story aboutattend-
ing meeting of the Sons and Daugh-
ters of the Galilean Fisherman, the
point of which was the President had
resigned and he had been called upon
to fill the vacancy.
"Well, I see that you have filed it
pretty full" replied the Senator, "and
T advise you to get off to bed as soon as
possible, while take care Of the fire."

Why the Persian Minister Laughs.

My friend, the Persian Minister,
writes Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record, has had many
quiet laugh at our expense since he
came to Washington. For some mys-
terious reason somebody started the
story that he understood no language
but Persian, which, of course, found its
way to the newspapers at once. Now,
as q matter Of fact, he understands
English quite as well as most of us, and
French great deal better. But he did
not feel that it was his business to rush
into print with an elaborate explanation
of ali this, and SO has taken it out in
smiling at the queer treatment he has
received from those who really believed
the story. No end Of funny remarks
have been made about him in his pres
ence, which it was supposed he would
never comprehend. He tells story
very vel, and in rcluting his experiences
with Wasllingtonians, foreign and do
nestle, tells some very good ones.

track of this little baby, but have heard
nothing of it since the summer Of 1883, =
when it was becoming quite portly,
weighing over three pounds and half.
january 9Th, 1885, there came another
addition to the world of natures freaks,
when Mrs. Charles Tracy, of Kings
bridge, N. Y, gave birth to a son weigh
ing exactly eleven ounces. The length
of the child was six inches, and its feet
were so small that the mothers engage
ment ring easily slipped over them and
up to the knees of the little one. Prior
to the advent of this little elf three
children had blessed the union Of the
Tracy's, all of regulation size. The
head of the little wonder was about the
size of O horse-chestnut, the face about
like quarter dollar piece, the mouth
which was entirely too small to grasp
the nipple after the usual fashion, was
stretched to its utmost capacity over a
goose quill fastened in the neck OF
two-ounce bottle filed with milk. A
man of ordinary grasp could clasp bis
hand around the body of little Tracy
and meet the thumb and index finger.
For many days the little wonder was
the pride of Kingsbridge.
Tennessee also claims honor in the
small baby line. The Chattanooga
claimant was born in March, 1883, and
weighed but one pound and eight
ounces. The father, Mr.. Marion Poe,
was prominent merchant of that city
at the time, and aboTe the average in
height, being over six feet. Mrs. Poe
is healthy woman, weighing 125
pounds. The pride of the Poes, and
the wonder of Tennessee, had head
aptly compared in size to billiard ball,
but unlike the Tracy midget, provided
with mouth that was large enough to
take care of the body, which enabled it
to take nourishment after the usul baby
fashion. Mrs. Poe, when exhibiting
her treasure to admiring friends, fol-
lowed the example Of all mothers with
diminutive offsprings, and often slipped
her ring to the little ones elbow

Jack Tars' Superstition.

Among beliefs current among sailors
is the notion that it is unlrcl1y to turn
LOAF upside down after helping oneself
from it, the idea being that for every
loaf so turned ship will be wrecked.
1t is also said that if loaf parts in the
hand while being cut it bodies dissen-
sions in the family-the separation of
husband and wife. Again, it has long
been widespread belief that the where
abouts of drowned body may be ascer-
tanned by floating loaf of bread down
stream, when it will stop over the spo'
where the body is.
A curious account of body thus re-
covered near Hull appeared in the Gen.
hsman's Magazine. CATER dihgent
search had been made in the river for the
child to no purpose, o two-penny loaf,
with quantity of quicksilver put into
it, was set floating from the place where
the child was supposed to have fallen IN,
which steered its course down the river
upward of half mile, when, the body
happening to lie on the contrary side OF
the river, the loaf suddenly tackled about
and swan across the river, and gradually
sank near the child, when both the body
and the loaf were brought up with the
grapplers ready for the purpose"
A correspondent of Notes and Queries
maintains that it is scientific fact that
a loaf and quicksilver indicates the posi-
tion of the body, as the weighted loaf is
carried by the current just as the body
is. This practice, too, prevails on the
continent, and in Germany the name OF
the drowned person is inscribed on the
piece of bread, while in France loaves
consecrated st. Nicholas, with lighted
wax taper in them, have generally been
employed for that purpose.

A Railway Incident.

A good-natured-looking westerner in
boots entered car bound for Rosedale,
Mass, on the Providence road. 1t was
very crowded, and people were standing
up on all sides. Walking slowly through
the aisle he came at last upon a young
woman reading a novel, who was occu-
pying the whole of an extra bench,
turned over, for the accommodation ofa
small pug dog that lay comfortably
snoozing upon a shawl. The passengers
who stood about were cycling the
spectacle with looks of indignation but
not one of them seemed to have had the
nerve to protest. The newcomer, how
ever, was not lacking in that quality.
Madam" he said mildly, 81 would
like to sit down, if you please"
The young female looked up at him
from her book with cold and wither-
ing glare. "The seat is engaged, she
replied with acidulated accents.

will have to bounce him off the train"
And with that he picked up Mr.. Pug
by the back of the neck and gently
tossed him through the open car window,
and calmly took the seat thus made va
cant. -
The train had come to pause at Rox-
bury station just minute before, and
was only beginning to move as this oc-
CURED. The dog alighted upon the
ground uninjured and at once scamper-
ed out of sight. The mistress who had
not had time to interfere-so quickly
was the thing done-iumped to her feet
with scream Of surprise and would GER
tainly have gone for the wool of her ad-
versary, had not the conductor at that
very instant thrust his hand at her for
her fare. To the latter, who had not
seen the occurrence, owing to the crowd,
she made an hysterical appeal for redress,
begging him at the same time to stop
the engine so that her pet might be pick
ed up. But another passenger put in
word, upon which the official said that
she had been served quite right and that
she might get off at the next station.

OUT of o corn crop of 1888, 900, 900
bushels, the largest ever grown, though
not the largest i'll proportion to the pop
ulation of the country, there has been
consumed and distributed within about
five months from the ripening of the
crop, 1,201 ,OO0 900 bushels, or GO.4 per
cent. of the whole. A comparison for
the last eight years shows this to be q
smaller percentage than had been con-
sumed at the same date in any year ex-
cept 1886, but, owing to the magnitude
of the crop, this relatively low percen-
tage constituted the largest absolute
quantity ever consumed within the
same five mouths.

TILE WARREN SISTERS.

Mrs. Tom Thumb, the wife of the
subject of the foregoing, was, before she
attracted the attention of her husbands
patron saint, little Betsy Bump. When
put on exhibition beside her future hus-
band, at the New York Museum, she
adopted Lavina Warren rs stage name.
She was married to the little General ut
Grace Church, New York City, in 1868,
and was, therefore, just twenty years q
wife.
Mrs. Stratton, when young, weighed
anywhere from fifteen to thirty pounds.
As age advanced she became quite
portly, and weighed, when she made the
last trip west, not less than fifty pounds.
Robust health, general portliness, COM
bined with q natural rotund figure, gave
her quite mothcrly appearance, which
earned for her the soubriquet OF the
"NIatron in Miniature.
After mourning the death of the
renowned Tom for q year and nine
months, Mrs. Stratton tried abDre-
waited matr.mony a second time by a
union with Count Primo Magri, April
9th, 1886. The Count Is but thirty-two
inches in height and weighs less than
his miniature bride. Like her first
marriage, this second one WAS also per

In the spring of 1880 Mrs. J. B. Mar

girl baby, perfectly developed strong
and healthy, that weighed but one and
three-quarter pounds. The tiny shirt
prepared for the prospective arrival COM

served we'll the double purpose OF shirt
and gown.
The smallest baby ever born in the
United States was little son born to
Mrs. and Mr.. D. G. Miller, at Candle

first saw the light of day it weighed, ac-
cording to the birth certificate Of the
attending NJ. D., eight and three-quar-
ter ounces. The father and mother
were both healthy, well-deyeloped pco-
pie, weighing one hundred and ninety
and one hundred and sixty pounds, re-
spectively. A silver dollar laid over
the face entirely hid it from view; the
mouth was not larger than the diameter
of a common Faber lead pencil. The
nose was as perfect as that of a grown
person, and in that particular was differ

der in the North Carolina conference,
and brotherinla law Of Col. Julian S.
Carr, of Durham, is to take the very
responsible and important superintend-
ency of the Orphan Asylum at Oxford.
Of course it is an experiment with him
as it would be with any other man in
the State save DR.. Dixon or Mr.. Mills.
We have a slight but pleasant ac-
quaintance with him, and some knowl-
edge of his work for some years past.
We are much inclined to think he is
the best selection that could have been
made from those heretofore named for
the place. Mr.. Harris is an alumnus
of Trinity College, and is about forty
years old, we guess. He is man OF
genuine piety, is good pastor, of gra-
cious manners and we believe, OF
much sweetness of character.-Wil-

Call for Convention of Democratic
Clubs.

| Call IOf convention OF democratic
| Clubs.
! RALEIGH, n. G., September 4, 1880.
To The State Association Of Democratic Clubs,
and the Democratic Clubs of North Carolina
BY unanimous vote of the Executive
| Committee of the State Association OF
| Democratic Clubs, after full consultation
with the Chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, it is deemed
advisable to call Convention of the
Democratic Clubs of the State; and as
our great party has now named her
| standard-bearer, and another struggle
| for Democratic supremacy-another ur-
gent need for the defeat of Republican
ignorance, corruption and misrule, is
upon us, and as there is work to be done,
work in behalf of a cause dear to every
patriotic North Carolinian, and as it is
for us young Democrats to see that our
share is well and faithfully performed.
|, therefore, as President of the State
Association of Democratic Clubs, call
you to meet again in Convention, to be
held in our Capital city of Raleigh, on
Wednesday, the Oath day of September,
inst.
Our constitution provides that each
Club shall be entitled to three (3) dele
gates and one additional delegate for
every twenty-five (25) members in good
standing.
The certificate of the Presidents and
Secretaries of Clubs will constitute the
credentials of delegates. Such certificate
should set forth the actual number of
members borne on the Club roster at the
time of naming delegates.
Delegates and other Club members at
tending the Convention will be entitled
to reduced rates of board at the Marlboro
House, and to special railroad rates.
Full particulars will be published.
The objects of this Convention are
The thorough Organization of forces;;"
to foster the organezation of Democrotic
Clubs in every township in North Caro-
lima; to increase our facilities for promul-
eating Democratic principles, and to
cooperate more fully with the regular
Democratic organization in promoting
the success OF Democratic measures.
10 these ends we invoke the co-opera-
ton OF all good men and the active sup
port OF the press throughout the State,
and invite the participation of our
Democratic nominees; and we request
that our party organization, in every
county, lend us their aid in making this
occasion one .of mighty demonstration
Several men OF national reputation are
expected to lend us their presence. Ex-
President Cleveland has been invited and
no stone will be left unturned to have
him speak to the young Democracy of
North Carolina. Senators Vance and
Ransom will certainly attend, and every
Democratic Congressman and nominee
for Congress from North Carolina is ex-
pected.
We urge the formation of Clubs in
every county, city, village and township
in the State, (and that their membership
should embrace every voter of their re-
spective sections who expects to support
our Democratic nominees,) in time to
send delegates to this Convention. l |
have the honor to be, gentlemen, respect
fully yours, ETC., Us. CARR,
President Association Of Democratic Clubs.

ALLUDING to the fact that the new
knitting mills in Goldsboro had been
named in honor of his paper, the
Argus, Editor Robinson is moved to
say: "It is a compliment to this
paper that is appreciated beyond the
power Of expression; for it is with
newspapers as with men of philan-
thropic mold, though they labor for
the good they can do, often having for
their reward only the sweet consola-
ton that the high consciousness of
duty done brings to one, still, the
kindly smile of approval or the sub
stantial tokens of endorsement from
their fellows, are always an inspiration
to yet higher effort and broader ac-
complishments."

The nomination Of Capt. w. J.
Rogers, of Northampton county, for
member of Congress from this district,
will give general satisfaction to all true
Democrats outside the Alliance as we'll
as those in it. While we preferred
Simmons, beC-use we considered HIM
the strongest man, we are quite salts
fed that such staunch Democrat as
Capt. Rogers, in whom the elements
of character, ability, patriotism and
true manhood are SO splendidly por'
trayed, is to be our standard bearer.
He can be elected if every Democrat
will do his full aut amt ao0,k for his
election. But it will require WORK to
do it, and it is well enough for US to
understand and appreciate this fact at
the outset.

The selection of Rev. J. T. Harris
to succeed DR.. Dixon as Superintend-
ent OF the Oxford Orphan Asylum, is
pronounced wise and fitting one by
those who know the gentleman. His
new position is one requiring peculiar
talents if not true genius, and follow
ing such men as Prof. J. H. Mills and
DIR. B. F. Dixon it will not be a very
easy matter to keep the institution up
to their standard, to say nothing of
improving on their work. But in the
person of Rev. ]. I. Harris, we take it
that the right man has been found for
the right place. The Winston 77oin-
CITY Daily says this OF the new Super
intendent:
Mr.. Harris is we'll known through
out North Carolina as gentle, patient
and far-seeing man, worthy of the
great responsibilities that are being
placed upon his shoulders. He is re-
spected and loved by the entire
church, and the little orphan children
may rejoice that they will be cared for
by another fatherly superintendent such
as was the noble DR.. Dixon.
