A lady dressed in neat, simple, nurse 5

she wore TO my surprise the order Of
merit, which is awarded by the Russian
Red Cross society, but which in most
cases is not bodily" bestowed. In her hand
she carried what presently found 10 be
one of the most important budgets Of docu-

months tour through the wide domin-

war in ls77-7s, and one day at Sistova saw
two lepers for the first time in my life. The

altogether appalling, and the suffering Of
the poor men was so beyond anything that

"And from that day forth have waited

years. Several of my sisters were living.
They were very much opposed TO my plan,

after the other, and now there is no longer
any obstacle in my way, except one. which

ROCKY HOOK LETTER
ROCKYHoCK, N. c.. March 10, 80.

ROCKYHOCK, N. c.. March 12, 80.
EDITOR FISHERMAN & FARMER:-The
recent cold wave seems to have played
destruction with the pea and fruit crC ps
IN this vicinity. just short while ago
the farmers were jubilant over the fine
prospects for an early pea crop. Now
they are very respondent. Some have
plowed up and planted over again: 9th
ers are still hoping that the old stock
will bud anew and bring forth a crop.
What consolation there is in the lit
tie word hope; when all other things
fail, hope stands by US until the last
ray of light is gone. Be not discourag-
ed my friends. He who sends SHOWS
and chilly blasts will also send the sun
shine and showers. Onlv do your full
duty, and all will be we'll.
AS the planting season is dawniDg
upon us, let us not forget the Fair to
be held next fall. Let each farmer see
what he can produce that will help to
make a creditable display. We feel
very sure that the farmers will take
more interest in the next Fair than they
did in our first.
We hope to see a larger per on of the
Fair building occupied by agricultural
products than we witnessed last fall.
which many of us may not be inclined
to accept the challenges offered by DR..
Capehart, still we shall not be deferred
from making a strong effort to excel
in the production of some Of the lmpOr-
tant crops commonly raised among US:
Industry and perseverance, coupled
with good common sense, may occom-
piish wonders:
Mr.. Editor, do you not think it
would be well to change the name of
cur Fair? Instead of calling it the
Edenton Agricultural and Fish Fair,
suppose we call it the Eastern Carolina
Agricultural Association: then it would
not sound SO local. We wish many
other counties besides Chowan, to feel
interested and take an active part in it.
Edenton being centrally located and
easy of access, is the very place at
which the farmers and mechanics, mer-
chants, &C., &C., should have a grand
reunion every fall. Let US hear from
you ana many others upon this sub
jeCt. +.

VICTIM OF THE SWINDLER,
A YOUNG MAN, HAILING FROM EDENTON,
SWINDLES A MAN OUT WEST.

1t seems that swindler who halls
from North Carolina: has victimized
some people in the west. Who is he?
Is he a man wanted for homicide?
Col. E. P. Jones, business man of
Indianapolis, but originally from North
Carolina, has discovered that he is the
victim of a swindler. A young man
called at his place of business, repre-
senting that be was from Edenton, n.
=. that he was a nephew of the late
Senator John Pool, of this state, and
won the COlOnel's favor. When the
friendly relation was intimately estab-
lished he said he had matter of vital
importance to impart, and intimated he
was wanted by the authorities in this
State and wished to elude their detec-
tives. He asserted that he had killed a
man in Edentcn in self defense, and that
a reward of 800 was offered for him.
Colonel Jones s heart was touched, and
then the visitor said that for reasons of
security he had adopted the name Of
Pool, that he was in fact a nephew Of
Gen. w. d. Pender, late of the COnfed-
crate army. AS proof of his being want
ed he took from his CFavat a postal card,
and from one of his shoes another. Put
ting the two together, he showed the
Colonel that the reward was genuine.
He then succumbed to the young man S
appeal for assistance, and, fitting him
out with clothes, bought him ticket to
Salt Lake and gave him money. Last
week Colonel Jones learned from North
Carolina that Gen. Pender had no
nephew. He is out $500 in money, as
the young swindler had drawn on him
two or three times. An effort will be
made TO arssst Pool, alias Pender.-
Raleigh Cor. Wilmington Messenger.
THE young man spoken of in the above
can { be from Edenton, as there is no
one wanted here for killing anyone in
self defense, and the authorities say
there is no reward offered for such a
person.-ED. FISHERMAN & FARMER.

Mr.. Labouchere on Two SuItans.

read last week with interest a letter
from Turk that appeared in a contempor-
ary The writer is incorrect in saying that
the present Sultan is insane, and that
therea strong party DESTROYS to replace him
by the ex-Sultan Murad, who has recov-
cred his wits. Murad was never mad, but
he was Away drunk. Possibly, he has nc t
been allowed an unlimited supply of liquor
of late, and is, therefore, more frequently
sober. The present Sultan is the son of a
Kurd slave who was in the harem of his
reputed father. His real father, it is be-
lieved, was an Armenian coachmau attached
to the court. Far from being mad, he has
all the sharpness of an Armen an. He is an
abiect coward. and he is PROBABLY making
purse for himself, as he is as ready as any
pasha to take brides The writer of the
letter alludes eulogistically to the late Mid
hat Pasha. Every one who resided in Con
slant inople during the career OF this
worthy is aware that he was one of the
vilest among the vile.-London Truth.

against the proposed order allowing the
receiver to sell 700 worth of manufac
tured goods now in the warehouse of the

Lewyer Meyer boldly declared that the
failure was a swindle. ''In September,
1882 said he, ''the firm made statement
that their assets exceeded the liabilities by
$780, 600. To-day the liabilities are $500, 0O0,
but what the assets are no one knows.
They have lately invested extravagantly
IN fine homes, and 1 have positive infor-
nation that they have secrcted large
quantities OF goods in warehouses" Judge
Collins directed the firm to submit to an

! tlonS against the warehouse companies

MOSAIC MEAT.
Rabbi JOseph's Meat Inspection Causes Jews
to PatrOnize Christians and Vice Versa.

Rabbi JOseph's Meat Inspection Causes Jews
to PatrOnize Christians and Vice Versa.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, Jan. IA year or two ago
some ultra orthodox Jews put the inspec-
ton of the meat consumed by their core
ligionists into the hands of Rabbi Joseph,
VINO was apparently imported from the old
world for the sole purpose of preventing
meat that was not up to the Mosaic stand
ard from being eaten by the Hebrews who
live in this city. Such meat is called tract
meat. That which is properly slaughtered
and is free from all taintS of disease, is
called kosher. Rabbi Joseph was guaran-
teed $1,000 year for his services, and a
house was given to him. In order to pay
this salary, it is claimed it became necessary
to charge for certificates as to the
orthodox character of the meat, for
all calf butchers were forced to affix &c
cent stamp on each calf slaughtered which
was kosher, and all calves sold without the
stamp were declared to be tract, while two
plompers, costing 10 cents each, were or
dered to be affixed to each bullock killed
A plomper is lead impression of the rab-
bis seal, which, with a tag setting forth
that the meat is kosher, is wired to the
carcass after it is dressed. The City
Dressed Beef company concern, composed
of Christians, solely agreed to dress the
meat for Jewish consumption in the Mosaic
manner, and to make use of plompers at re
gular rates. Large Jewish concerns, which
do their own Strengthening, however
refused to use of rabbits plompers, and
smaller dealers have followed their ex-
ample.
About two hundred of them met on Mon
day night and formed an'organization, each
member of which is pledged not to buy
any meat with plompers attached, under a
penalty of FORGETTING $50.
RABBI Joseph, on his part. has publicly
declared all meat without plompers to be
tract. The result, of course, is that the
only meat now sold to, or eaten by
Hebrews under the OF thodox auspices, Is
furnished by company OF Christians,
while all meat furnished by Hebre VS. is
denounced as unclean by high religious
authority. The kickers attribute merce
nary motives to Rabbi Joseph, aud decl are
that he insists on the use OF stamps anC
plompers for revenue only, and not fol-
the sake OF having kosher meat. He, OF
the other hand, says he has sanitary anC
religious reasons for the basis of his actor
and that the money collected from the ust
of the stamps and plompers goes to pay tn,
cost of the inspection. Should the income
thus derived more than pay expenses, thu
| cost of stamps and plompers will be re
duced
