Ponderous Purses of Pompeii

A man may have ponder0us purse

largest returns tor it. The poorer
classes are obliged of necessity to
do this, but those who are bet

for one half their original costs, or less.

Rock Paved Streets and Roads.
The Raleigh Visitor says:
The city government of Char
lotte are paving the streets of
that city with crushed rock, by
which they get solid streets
duriag all sorts of weather, at a
small cost. The city owns it
and runs a rock crusher which
crushes enough to keep four
wagons engaged hauling the
crushed rock on the streets,
which they have excavated and
graded about ten inches below
the proposed surface. They
first put about four inches of
the coarser rock at the bottom
which they level and pack to
some extent, keeping up the de-
sired grade. They next put on
about four inches more of small
er, rock, from the size of an
acorn up to a hulled walnut,
which they also pack and grade.
Then they put on about two
iDs hes of the rock gravel and
d.set which after being graded
issis ise% packed, is thoroughly wet
s'nas then rolled with a heavy
nas'ier. Streets and roads fixed
,rsthis way, do not get muddy,
,eld last almost a life time with
out repair. A rock crusher and
the engine to run it costs about
81, 500. Will it not be economy
for Raleigh to get one not only
for the streets but for the roads
leading to the city which be-
come almost impossible every
winter. Will not the city faith
ers look into this and profit by
the experiments of our neigh

Great excitement prevailed
among the people of Kershaw
over the finding of Sl63,000 in
gold and other valuable treas
ures last week, which were
buried i'm that neighborhood
twenty-four years ago, wEen
Sherman's army was passing
through South Carolina The
officers of the Camden Bank col.
lected the money and jewelry
and brought it near Hanging
Rock Creek, Keshaw county, TO
bury il. They were captured
by Shermen's men and forced
TO give up their treasure. The
soldiers in turn appointed one
of their own number, named,
Rhodes, to bury it. Among the
treasures was a gold pitcher,
presented by the ladies Of Char
lesion to Calhoun. On his death
bed a few days afterward
Rhodes said he had buried the
money near an old mill. For
the past twenty years various
parties have been digging for
the buried treasure, but with.

however, il was secured by a

A Name I'm the Sand.

Alone | walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
/ stopped and wrote upon the
sand
My name, the year and day.
As onward from the spot Ipassed
One lingering look behind l cast,
A wave came rolling high and
fast
And washed my lines away.
And so methought twill quickly
be
With every mark on earth from
me!
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where l have trod the sandy
shore
OF time, and be to me no more;
OF me, my day, the name / bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts
the sand
And holds the water in His
hands.
| know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has
wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has
thought,
And from these fieeting mo-
ments caught,
For glory or for shame.

Vermont Farmers League.

The Vermont Farmers League
held a special meeting ON last
Friday to consider ways and
means to promote the growth of
the organization in the State.
There was a large attendance
from all sections. Resolutions
were adopted favoring a sound
and efficient currency and uni
versal compulsory common
school education, after a rea-
sonable period as a condition of
suffrage, demanding a rigid
limitation of monopolies; Just
and equitable freight and pass
enger rates on railroads; favor
ing the prohibition of liquor as
a beverage and the adulteration
of foods; favoring a rigid reduc-
ton of the alien ownership of
land and of the immigration of
criminals and paupers; opposing
class legislation; favoring an
equal and Just system of taxa
tion, and calling on Congress to
make a law to provide a graded
income tax and demanding
strict economy in the expenses
of the State and national gov
ernments, with salaries of Of
ficials to correspond with the
financial condition of the tax
payers. Hon. George 7. Pow
ell, of New York, president of
the National Farmers League,
was chief speaker of the con-
vention. He said he was not an
advocate of a farmers political
party, but he wanted ballot re-
form and a cessation of class
legislation. The farmers of the
East, he said, were utterly op-
posed to the free coinage Of sill
yer and to the sub treasury
scheme promulgated at Cincin-
natl.

Tobacco Planting.

The Farmville (Va.) Journal
says: For the past week, this
important work has been going
ON by our farmers. The glori-
GUS seasons of the latter part of
last week and the first part of
this week have been taken adj
vantage of by our planters.
Some OF the more forward far
mers finished last week, but
most of the crop was set out this
week. If it lives well and it is
seasonable from now out, a fine
crop will yet be made, although
we don't think over three
fourths of an average crop of
dark shipping tobacco will be
made, even under the most fa-
vorable circumstances.

WINS A Gallon Of whisky.
Farmer Alanson T. Croft, Of

Farmer Alanson T. Croft, Of
Forest Lake township, placed
an effigy of himself in his corn
field the other day, and before
sundown three crows alighted
on the scarecrow's hat and
sat there for several minutes.
Dave Holcombe, who works for
Farmer Croft, thinks there is
nothing so cunning on earth as
a crow, and the sight of the
three black rascals on top Of his
employers old hat tickled Dave
immensely. The boldness of
the crows displeased the farm
er and he took Dave to task for
being tickled about it. Dave
retorted by declaring that Mr..
Croft might as well stick a
feather in the ground and ex-
pect to keep the crows out of the
cornfield with it as to set his
own image up out there, and the
discussion became so hot that
Dave finally offered to bet the
farmer a gallon Of whisky that
he could fix himself up and
stand where the scarecrow was
until at least two crows came
and alighted on his hat.
Farmer Croft snapped up the
bet at once, and the next morn
ing Dave donned his best suit of
clothes and took the scarecrow's
place in the cornfield. The
image was taken to the barn,
and Dave pulled an old slouch
hat over his eyes, stuck his
hands in his pocket, braced his
back against a post, and waited
for the crows to come around
make themselves familiar, with
hum. 1t was a holiday for the
farmer, and while Dave was
posing he sat on his porch,
watched Dave every minute,
and scanned the sky for crows.
Not a crow came near the corn
field during the forenoon, and
when Dave adjourned for din
ner he said he hadn't been so
hungry in a dogs age.
Dave took an hours incoming
and then started in again. Far
mer Croft kept an eye on him
and a little after 4 O'Clock he
saw a flock of crows sail out of
q piece of woods and alight
ON the cornfeld fence. They
looked at Dave a spell and then
the whole flock rose in a body
and settled down aisxund him
Pretty soon three OF them flew
up and perched on Dawes head
and shoulders and when they
had sat there for a minute or so
Dave reached up and caught
one of them by the legs. All
the other crows flew away in a
hurry when they saw their COM
panion fiuttering and squalling
in the scarecrow's hand and
Dave, who said he had never
been so tired in his life, march
ed to the house with the noisy
bird and took a swig of the bet
he had won.-N. Y. Sun.

dIers' Home Association.
Capt. w. L. .Srdrey director
of the North Carolina Soldiers
Home Association, makes the
following statement of the con-
dition of the Home. He says:
Our good old North State can
now boast and be proud of her
beautiful and comfortable Sol
diers' Home for homeless Con-
federate veterans, situated in
Raleigh, on Newbern Avenue,
and Harget street and formerly
known as Camp Russell. 1t is
in a beautiful grove of native
oaks, containing five and three.
fourth acres. By the indomi-
table energy of that big heart
ed and patriotic citizen, Mr.. w.
G. Stronach the buildings have
been remodeled, painted and
plastered and newly covered,
all on the cottage style, but
beautifully and artistically ar
ranged and all inclosed by a
neat wire fence, making the
place quite attractive and in
viting. The Association was
incorporated by an act of last
General Assembly with an an
nual appropriation of three
thousand dollars, and the So
ciety has been organized by
electing Col. A. r. Andrews
President, and Mrs. Williams,
the present matron pro TEN, and
Messrs. w G. Stronach, Julian
S. Carr, and +. III. Busbee, ex-
ecutive committee. The Home
now has thirteen inmates All
are neatly and cleanly dressed
and provided with wholesome
food. The present capacity of
the building is about thirty and
could be increased to forty with
a little more expense.
This move was first started in
the State by the Confederate
Veterans Memorial Association.
By the charities of our patri-
otic men and devoted women
the institution has heretofore
been self-sustaining. By pro-
vision in the charter of incor-
poration lady from each con-
gressional district has been
elected on the Board of Man
ayers.
To the noble women of our
State, whose patriotism and de-
votion through the sun shine
and shadow Of our history has
ever been worthy of the highest
praise, we appeal for continue
ton of their help and sympathy
in this worthy cause.
We look to these lady man
ayers with the cooperation of
the old soldiers and their friends
to thoroughly organize each
community throughout our
State for the purpose of raising
funds to perfect and equip this
noble institution.
At an early date circular let
ters of instructions will be is

One Hundred and Fifty Years
did

Very interesting anniversary
services were held on Sunday
last in St. Johns Church,
Richmond Va, with historic
address by Bishop Randolph
and Mr.. VIM. Writ Henry. IL
had been Just one hundred and
fifty years since the church was
built, and though the house is
of wood, it had been preserved
through all this period. Old
st. Johns Church is truly a
historic building. In it was
held the convention, prior to
the war Of the Revolution, in
which Patrick Henry made
his famous and daring speech,
which every school boy re.
members, and within its walls
the Virginia convention again
assembled on July IL, l775,
when the organization of the
Virginia troops was completed
by the election of officers, and
further war measures were
adopted. Mr.. Writ Henry, who
is himself a grandson of Pat
rick Henry Of Revolutionary
fame, recalls the fact that in
January, 1881, part of the troops
of the traitor Arnold, who had
landed at Westover, and was
rayaging both town and coun.
try, slept in this building and
desecrated it. Thus the old
church becomes an object of
great interest TO the people of
this generation, too many of
whom, both in Virginia and
North Carolina, place quite too
low an estimate on the relics of
the olden time. The correct
sentiment, according to our
thinking is, that these objects
OF history be taken account of
and preserved as helping to i'm
still into the minds of the young,
that love Of country, that is es.
sential TO the highest civiliza-
ton and the purest virtue.
