Almost Through.

A country editor, who was not
supposed to be rich, built himself a
modest cottage. The neighbors
were all interested, and naturally
made frequent inquiries as to how
the building was progressing. The
editor finally tired Of being asked
whether the plastering was dry vet,
whether he expected to move this
week, etc. AS he expressed it, he
could not appear in the street with
out somebody's asking:
Elbows the house getting along?"
One day he was quite out of pa
thence, and just then a subscriber
asked:
"Well, Mr. Barnes, have you moved
into your new house yet?''
I'VE began this morning." an
swered the editor; II carried over a
chair, and a salt-cellar, and left the
dog in the yard.'

Trinity is Mighty Rich.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix has ad.
dressed letter to the Churchman in
the correction of an exaggerated
statement of the value of the proper
ty owned by Trinity Church. He
says:
'It is said in the item referred to
that our property is sworth $3.50, ,OOO-
600. This is an astonishing exagger-
alton. 1t far surpasses statements
on the same subject which l have
again and again corrected in our year
book and secular journals Of this
country. Let me give your readers q
dem onstration Of the wildaess of the
estimate. --
The income of $3.50, 10000 at 5
per cent. would be $7,5OO,OOO. Our
property is managed on strict bust
ness principles and with the earnest
desire to make it available to the full
est extent tor the purpose of our
trust, but the entire income from that
property for the year ending July 81,
1889, hardly, fatal, exceeded $780,
900. The difference between $3.50, 900
nnd 100000 may be taken as q
fair expression of the difference be-
tween the value Of theproperty of our
parish as fancifully estimated and it's
actual valCe for practical purposes" J"

Shakespeare in Germany.

The Neue Theater Almanach for
1891 contains tables showing the fre
quency of the performance of certain
classes of plays in German theaters
during the last nine years. From
these it appears that, altogether,
Shakespearian plays We're performed
S22 times in the year 1889, ISL times
in 1883, Ut times in 1887. and 679
times in 1886. In 1881 they were
performed 795 times, which is attri-
buted to the influence of the Meiningen
plays. OF late years especially the
most popularplay seems to have been
"Othe,lo, (which during the nineyears,
1Ss1-9, was performed sa7 times;
next comes Hamlet" with SIG per-
formances, and s'The Merchant O;
Venice" with 695 performances. The
plays most seldom performed We're
"All's Well that Ends Well" and
''The Merry Wives of Windsor" each
Of which had only single performance 9
during the nine years.

OStriCheS in America,

There are certain old traditions
about the ostrich which, have been
told by the owner Of the California
ranch, are fallacious. He says that
the ostrich does not bury his head in
the sand and imagine he is unob-
served by his enemies. On the con-
trary, he is a very pugnacious bird,
and always ready for a fight. Nor
does the female ostrich lay her eggs
in the sand for the sun to hatch them,
10 40 them Justice, they are quite
domestic, and deserve a better repu
tatlon: Nor is the ostrich ever used
tor riding, as he has an exceptionally
weak back; any person might break
1T with a blow from an ordinary
cane.
His strength lies in his great
breast and his feeU. Hehas one great
claw, and a very small one, and with
a terrible precision he can bring
down the large claw with a cruel
force that will tear open anything
not made of sheet-iron.
Savage birds at best, theyare dam
gerous!y so during breeding time.
The twenty-five birds brought to
our California ranch trusted to their
instinct, and laid their eggs during
the California winter, which corrres-
ponded to their summer south Of the
equator. It being the rainy season,
their nests were filled with water and
the eggs were chilled; so the first sea-
son OF their American sojourn was
failure.
The ostrich makes it's nest by
rolling in the sand and scooping out
a hole some feet in diameter, and,
excepting an incubator house, the
Californiaranch requires no buildings
for the use of the birds, though the
land is devided off into pens fenced
in. each about an acre in extent, for
the use OF the breeding birds, every
pair occupying one such inclosure.
The ostriches live upon alfalfa and
corn. Alfalfa is a grass cultivated
all over the ranch; it resembles our
clover, and grows to a crop some six
times year.-Anna Eichberg King.

Here is a Genuine Touch of
PathOS,

A lady, living on Sixth Street, who
has window full of flowers all in
bloom, answered a ring at the door
bell the other day to find little girl
shivering on the doorstep.
''Please, ma 'am," said the waif, lift
ing her shy, beautiful eyes to the face
above her, twill you give me a
flower?"
The request was such an unusual
one that the lady hesitated in sur
prise.
"Just one little flower" pleaded the
child, looking as if she was about to
cry.
"Why, of course, you shall have
flower, child; come in. You shall have
a pretty red rose,' and the good
woman looked for her scissors and
stepped to the window where the
flowers grew Before she had cut one
a light touch fell on her arm.
"Not that one, please-not a red
one; that white one. Oh, won't it be
just booful,' and the elittle girl point
ed to a candidum unfolding it's lily
petals,
"That!'' the mistress of the house
shook her head. "I cannot cut that
one, child. Why must you have a
white one? Why won't any flower
do?'
"Oh, Observation-Disclosures,
it's for poor mamma, 'and the child
burst into a violent fit of weeping.
Mamma is dead and I ruined away
to get her some flowers.''
The next moment she was sobbing
on the bosom of q new friend, and
when she went away, she was COM
forted, and she carried the precious
lily with other flowers to the home
where death had been.

The Song that Reached Their

nearly every foreign country, our own

singers. A young student from Hell

of course, he received the customary
recognition. An Englishman sang

COPELAND, n c., April 18th, 1891.
try tributary to the Winston tobac-
co market which has been opened up
by the Wilkesboro Extension, or Wes-
tern North Carolina Road / feel
bound by the strong moving of the
spirit, to write a good long letter
about the "divide' between the wa
ters of the Ararat and Fish Rivers in
Surry county. This belt embraces an
area of about $50 square miles of
territory lying in what is known in
local parlance as "The Hollow''-a
great elevated valley or mountain
cave encircled on three sides by the
Blue Ridge and one of it's speers.
There is a wide vein or bed ofmag-
netic iron ore extending from the
northeast to the southwest along
this "divide" on which ia grown the
best tobacco in North Carolina-per-
haps the best chewing tobacco in the
whole world.
At Copeland, six miles north of
Rockford on the Mount Airy road,
Mr.. W. r. Doss has established an
extensive tobacco business, and from
him gather the following facts:
The average price of tobacco grown
on the mineral bed is not less than
$4,000 per hundred pounds. Last
year MIR. Doss sold about 10000
pounds on the Winston market.
which averaged $4,000 per hundred,
the best bringing $82. There are in
this immediate neighborhood many
farmers who make annually from
$4,000 to $500. 90 per acre on the
area cultivated. Among these are
Aaron Whitaker, J. T. Hancock, S.
W. Snow, James Briggs, T. E. Snow,
and W. R. Doss. The crop of last
year brought T. E. Snow $500. 90
an acre.
l saw in the factory of Mr.. Doss
about 125 900 pounds of dark and
bright mahogany, and fine lemon
yellow leaf, which surpasses anything
l ever saw in Virginia or North Caro-
lima. AT least 10000 pounds of this
tobacco would average, on the Win
ston market, $4,000 per hundred,
and the remainder of the entire stock
would average $14.OO.
The cultivation of tobacco is rap
idly extending in this section; and
Surry county within five years bids
fair to produce as much tobacco as
Granville or Rockingham, and a
quality of tobacco excelling anyt thing
to be found in the United States.
''The Hollow" or great valley of
Surry, is well adapted to the growth
of all the cereals and cultivated
grasses, as well as the fruits and veg
etables common in the temperate
zoq', and is perhaps the best watered
country in the world It will not be
long before it will be as famous as the
West farming country East of the
Blue Ridge, if not the very best in the
entire country. REGULVa,

Death of . Young Lady In Sale IN

Miss Anne Harris, daughter of
Judge and Mrs. C. H. Harris, of Ma
con, Ga, after an illness of six weeks,
died of heart disease at the Salem
Female College, where she had been
attending school, about two o'clock
Tuesday morning, aged II years.
The mother of the deceased was
notified of her illness aud arrived
here from Macon early yesterday
coming from High Point through
the country by private conveyance.
A brother also arrived on the mid
night train about an hour before she
died.
Mrs. Harris, mother of the young
lady, in talking with Mr.. Clewell
about the death of her child said .
Il do not regret having sent my
daughter to school here, for she was
SO happy in the Academy, and her
happiness was my first desire"
Principal Clewel informed us this
morning that this was only the third
death that had occurred in the school
during the past seven years, out OF
an enrolment of about 1900 pupils,
and these deaths, strange to say,
were all traced to the direct cause OF
organic diseases-two being heart
trouble.
