CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, n. G.
The reports of correspondents of

sued by the North Carolina Expert.
ment Station and State Weather Ser
vice, operating with the United
States Signal Service, show that the
temperature and sunshine during the
week ending October 18th, 1890,
have been in excess, and the rainfall
deficient; conditions altogether more
favorable than those which have ex
listed for several weeks. Light rain
occurred on one or Two days, the re
mainder of the week being bright and
clear. Almost all the farmers time
has been devoted to cotton picking
and gathering corn, which is fully
matured. Tobacco has all been cured.
1t is probable that the damage caused
by the wet weather of preceding
weeks will not be quite so serious as
anticipated. The seeding of wheat
and oats is progressing slowly. Light
rain will occur during the earlier por-
ton of next week, to be followed by
fair, cooler weather.
The past season on the whole has
been an usually favorable one, and
the crops of cotton, tobacco, corn and
rice raised in this State are all fully
up to, even above the average for
many years.

This was the last obstacle which
the water had to contend with. Turn

through a comparatively level cOun-
try, a distance of fifteen miles to
Lake Memphremagog, which 1t
reached about sundown. Over this
distance the speed of the water was
much slower and thousands Of trees,
logs and debris were left and buried
under greater or less depths of sand.
The lake was observed by the set
tiers where Newport now stands,
the next morning to be over a foot
higher, which fact alarmed them
somewhat as there had been no rain.
It was some days before the cause
was found out. Great number of
desel fish were found the next day
alonp the entire route from the pond
to the gorge in Barton.
Deep depressions were filled up
and all projecting spurs of hills were
cut off. The noise made by the wa
ter in its passage was heard a long
distance by the settlers on the hills :;
those WHO could not see it supposed
the day of judgment was at hand,
and, not being quite prepared for the
event, were much alarmed.
The bed of Long Pond is partially
grown to trees and bushes, grass
being cut on the remaining part,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Especial CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR.
Va ShjnqtOn, Jan. 3

Washington, Jan. .
A quorum was hardly to be expect
ed in Congress, o.day, owing to the
ravages of the grip. The adherents
of Mr.. Reed confidently assert that
business will be so rushed from this
date that adjournment will actually
he earlier. instead of later than usual.
The opponents of the administration
still assert that it will be the longest
session in the history of Congress.
The Ways and Means and the appro-
priations committee are the ones
whose work is expected to prolong
the session. The first named COM
mittee is expected, according to sew
eral of its members, to report its gen
eral bill in the latter part of February
or first of March, and to have the
work finally cleared away before the
first of the summer months. Mr.
Cannon, Chairman of the approprla-
tions committee, thinks that commit
tee will surely not prevent, by Its
work, adjournment in July.
Justice Brewer, just raised to the
Supreme bench, freely admits that
he has now reached the goal of his
ambition. He has certainly reached

The Best of All.

1t was only the other day that John
Greenleaf Whittier celebrated his
eighty-third birthday and on Sunday
Mr.. Gladstone celebrated his eight
ieth. The lives of these two great
men have been as divergent in their
daily vocations and avocations as
two lives could we'll be. The one is
a poet, the other statesman, scholar
and orator. But in the common judg-
ment and estimation of men of thought
there are honOred in their old age
chiefly for the same great and noble
quality-that of integrity of purpose
and deed in the work of human prog
ress. The one is a man of peace,
singing sweet and gentle songs, with
others that are noble and paCrlotlc,
stirring mems hearts the other Is
man of constant political action hav-
inc been for the greater part of his
life a leading actor in politics. always
controversial, often aggressive. For
wears he has filled England with the
eIoouent and earnest voice of the ad-
yocate and disputant, and Kept IN
ferment Parliamentary proceedings.
His contributions to literature alone
would have made him distinguished
even among literary men, and as a
statesman and orator he has taken
unouestioned high place in the fore
front of EurOpe's public men. Ihe
celebration of the American poet
birthday and of the birthday OF the
English statesman were curlOusly
alike in form. They were both dis
tinguished-bv the reception by Mr.
Whittier and by Mr. Gladstone 0
congratulatory addresses, letters, ant
telegraphic dispatches, sent not onl.
bv their respective countrymen, bu
bv foreigners also. These tribute
were given to the high character o
the men themselves more than to tn
greatness of their actual poetic OF pc
Iitical achievements, to what the me
are rather than to what they did q
poet or statesman. Their work shove
the nobility, the truth, the courage
their characters. In their widely oil
ferent ways they wrought for I'll
good of their fellow-men-W hlttl'
for the slave of the South, Gladstor
for the enfranchisement of his OW
countrymen and for the oppressed
Ireland. That which everyone 7
.cognizes and honors in their chara
tiers is the sublimiJy of the steadfas
ness and integrity, which, throus
good and bad report, through IL
and i'll fortune, they always MAJ
tanned. Their lives, the love whi
is felt for them, the respect CIV
them, the honors paid them as th
approach the ending of their ola
seem to teach anew that the bt
thing that anyone can strive for
