CONFESSED HIS GUILT.

North Hudson County Employee Associ-
alton Misses Some of Its Wealth.
There is scandal in the North Hudson
County Railroad Employees Association.
The association, which is benevolent
one, issues yearly manual. The manual
is replete with advertisements. from
which great revenue is derived At a
meeting held on Friday night it was dis
covered that several advertisements had
been inserted for which no account was
given to the society.
One of the members of the Troy detec-
tive agency was put on the case and soon
found that S109 had been collected by one
Bollinger and several others for different
advertisements and that tine amount had
never been turned in to the society
The report of the detective was read at
the meeting last night and created a sem
sation. Bollinger admitted collecting the
money and agreed TO make restitution.

the fern of the duties laid make the
bill puzzle, which only experts can
finally unravel with much trouble and
waste of time.
Inc duties on cotton and wooden
materials are raised heavily along the
whole line, but those ON the goods
used by the laboring masses are To-
variably, so far as we can see, made
to pay higher duties than are put on
the more costly goods used by the
rich. The duty on wool, unreasonably
high at present, is heavily increased;
the duty on woolen yarns is doubled,
and the duty on blankets and wooden
stuffs is doubled, and on some of the
cheaper qualities, those most used by
the poor, is nearly trebled. On some
of these goods, in universal use, the
duty is run up to $50 per cent. So,
too, the cheaper kinds of carpets have
their duty heavily raised. ias
Houses are made dearer by the
increased duty on lime and cement
double the present rates-aLd by in
creased duties on brick and tiles and
by higher duties ON glass. The poor
mans kitchen is made more costly by
increased duties on pottery and OH
glassware, that on common glassware
being increased in some cases more
than hundred per cent; the poor
mans clothing and bedding are made
more costly, by heavily increased du
ties on blankets, coatings-in fact, on
all that he and his wife and family
wear or need to keep them warm in
winter or cool in summer. The poor
mans shoe bill is increased by the
duty on hides, which is laid to keep an
anti election bargain of the Republi-
can committee with some Western
hide men. On common window glass
such as lights the homes of the farm
ers and mechanics, the duty, already
up to from sixty to one hundred and
sixty per cent, is heavily increased

INGALLS, PICKED UP.
How His Name Got Into a Soap Adver-

TFro.. the WdshinQton Post

From the Washington Post
With profound regret we learn that
His R.y..l Highne~s the Prince 1T
Wales has resolved s far to Withdraw
his patronage and sanction from Eng
lish literature as to permit nobnly to
use his name in a soap advertisement.
By the way, this reminds us Of some.
thing that once happened to Senator
Ingalls,. Mr.. David Lewsley, who was
at that time reporter for a Wash
ingtGn Journal, was sent to hold an
interview with the Senator upon an
important matter of state. The SEN
ator, who had no intention whatever
of being drawn into conversation on
that subject, met Mr.. Lewsiey with his
accustomed grace, and courteously
veered the conversation into other
channels. Somehow, for want of an
other handy subject. the Senator said
,, something about boards, which led to
BARRIERS, and, Of course, to the general
subject of shaving
'sBy all means" said Senator In
tgalls, "you should learn to shave your.
self" aud then he went ON with a
lear ned, thoughtful aud highly enter
tanning disquisition oD the advantages
economic and m taphysic, of shaving
ones self rather than hiring a barber
to do it. Mr.. Lewsley paid careful
Attentions to all the Senator said, fixed
facts and dates in his mind, and said
nothing. When the Senator had re-
lated circumstantially his own varied

TILTED GEORGE WASHINGTON.
A Virginia Girl Who Narrowly ESCAPED
Becoming Mother of Her Oountrv,

Becoming Mother OF Her Country.
George Washington was once a re
jected lover. The fact is testified to
by his own band in a letter given to
the world few years ago by Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. Gen. Lee, writing to
the editor of Virginia paper about
the matter, said:
: cat the request of many persons I
send you and thus permit the publica
tion of the inclosed letter 1t is, as you
see, from Gen. Washington, written
rover f20 years ago, and is addressed to
William Fauntleroy, ST.. in Rich
mond.' the brother of Miss Betsy re
ferred to SO tenderly. I think it re-
veals an affair de ceur on the part nf
the Father of his Country (for it is
not said that he was the father of any
thing or anybody else) not heretofore
known, Washington, at the time this
letter was written, was some 20 years
and 3 months old, and is represented
by all historians and biographers as a
quiet, dignified, bastful aud reticent
young man; but, alas! it seems in that,
as in this day, those particular kind II
young men always did the most court
ing"
Washington's letter reads as follows:
"Sir: should have been down long
before this, but my business in Freder.
ick detained me somewhat longer than
l expected, and Immediately upon my
retura from thence l was taken with a
violent pleurisy, which has reduced me
very low; but purpose, as soon as | re
cover my strength, to wait on Miss
Betsy, in hopes of revocation of the
former cruel sentence, and see if I car
meet with any alteration in my favor
I have inclosed letter to her, which
1 should be obliged to you for the de
livery of it. I have nothing to adj.
but my best respects to your good lady
and family. and that l am, sir, YOU
most nb't and humble serv't.

Not a Candidate.
TFron the Statesu;He landmark

hs
A number of the brethren of the
press have been so good as to have
lately expressed desire to see the ell
itor of the Landmark Governor. He
tenders to them his most grateful
thanks, but he would rather labor
with them and continue to enjoy their
good opinion as one of their mum Der
than to hold any Office whatever. Say
ing this, he hopes not to make himself
ridiculous by declining something he
is not apt to be offered; it is with per
feet sincerity and because something
needs to- be said lest our partial breth-
rem should think US insensible of this
new evidenced Of their regard. Frankly.
no political ambition burns or smoul-
ders in our breast. We are not built
way. Besides, we hold too many un
popular opinions and haven't policy
enough to conceal tham-believe in
the whipping post; oppose the present
homestead law; not only believe in the
present system of county government,
but think judges as we'll as magistrates
should be elected by the legislature;
don't believe there is anything III the
notion which is SO popular now that a
railroad commission would cure the
State of all her miseries; hold opinions
equally unpopular on half dozen
uther public questions and couldn't
whip around to suit popular sentiment
80 that we would be certain to get
beate n for any office outside Of States
Vile or Iredell county. Lack of de-
sire united with unavailability rule
the editor of the Landmark off the
track, but with all his heart he thanks
those friends who think him worthy
of public position. S

To-day the mails will be fl )oded with
missives of love and also a good many
that are not exactly love tokens. The
custom Of sending valentines is an old
one. having its origin away back in the
dark ages when the names of the youth
and beauty of ancient Rome were sha.
ken up and the young lady whose name
was drawn by a gentlemen was said to
be his Valentine" for shorter or lon.
ger period. 1t was the custom also TO
make costly presents Of jewelry to the
o jet of affection. Like all the ancient
Gu u'tonis. that of sending valentines has
not been improved by the passage of
time, rs the vulgar carricatures of hu-
mani,y, like unto nothing under the
sun, which to-day form the bulk of val

UNDER THE SNOW.

With the wilderness munied
From canyon to crest;
With the white mantle lieing
Like peace on his breast;
With the fleecy ilakes falling
Like whispers of rest,
Sank the weary child down
To his slumber-at last
tnietter'd aud freed,
From an agony past.
No. Scar of the struggle
On his brow found place;
No dread OF the death
On his lips left trace,
Hut the Angel Of Sleep
Lett light on his face.
Ay! he slept. DID HE WAKE?
fe that would know,
Go ask the dumb dreamer;
There under the snow.
