Deer Stnp A PnssenCcr Train.

Who would think that a railroad en- zine that rested in a round house here was stopped on it's way to Charlotte to prevent 1t from running over two deer that, charmed by the big yellow glare from its headlight, stood on the track and waited until the engine stopped within ten feet of them? Such thing did occur. It was on the Carolina Cen tral railroad, and Frank Lewis is the en- gineer who came within an ace of bring ing a load of venison to Charlotte.
 The Charlotte bound passenger train, Capt. George Welsh, conductor, pulled out of the depot at Wilmington at the usual time Tuesday evening, made the regular stop at Hilton Bridge, another stop at Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley crossing, and was just getting under way for Meares Bluff when Engineer Lewis saw a dark object ahead on tho track. He at first thought it was man, but, as it did not move, he seized the whistle cord and gave the cattle alarm. The object grew bigger, but remained motion less, and the engineer threw on the brakes. The train slowed up abruptly, and as it drew near the object the engineer saw something that astonished him.
 There, just in front of him, was big buck deer with fine spread of antlers. The buck was standing in the center of the track staring directly into the head light, and just behind him, standing across the track and looking at the engine over the bucks shoulders, was a beauti- ful doe. The engine got within ten feet of them when it's nearness threw tho rays of the headlight over them, and the mo- ment that occurred they bounded from the track and disappeared in the dark ness. The engineer was almost unstrung by the novel experience, and he and the fireman talked deer all the way to Char lotte. Had he known what the objects ahead of him were he could have put on steam and bagged big mess of venison. Charlotte (N, O. News,

Talo of A Cat.

A gentleman was passing near Hough- ton square just after a recent storm and discovered cat ensconced on the stringer of wooden fence in shelter ing angle He called the attention of neighbor it, and together. thinking that perhaps the cat was frozen to death, they proceeded to stir it up. The cat got up, and in attempting to jump off the fence, hung suspended like an icicle by the end of it's caudal appendage. which was frozen to the fence. The animal had crawled in for shelter from the storm, the heat of the body melting the snow, and then chilling enough to freeze the tail to the fence. As it hung suspended the gentleman began to look around for warm water, or some other means of thawing it out, but before they suc- ceeded the weight of the body caused it to break it's hold. and the cat was re- leased from it's strange predicament.-- Lynn (Mass.)

The Tin Plate Myth NfaterIalized.

The latest tin plate myth takes form little calculated to add to the tariff "re- formers" peace of mind. It is in the shape of sheet of brand new tin plate from the United States Iron and Tin Plate company, limited, Demmler, Pa. On one side is neat picture of the con- panys mills, and under it ringing words in which the writer rejoices that Uncle Sam can now make tin plates at home, and at John Bulls own prices proclaim ing that the American workingman need not worry about the cost of his dinner bucket So long as he can have it always well filled. He assures us that the in- dustry has come to stay, and that before another election rolls around the logic of events will have exposed the misrep- resentations of Free-traders, with the certain result of victory for the new bill and Protection in 1892.

NEW TARIFF CHANGES.
ANALYSIS OF THE NEW LAW BY AP-
 FRASER COOPER, OF NEW YORK.

What Protection Has Done for silk-Re-
 ductions In the Different Schedules.
 The Kind of Tariff Reform the Coun-
 try Needs.
 Twenty-Five years ago the idea of pro- ducing silks in this country was laughed at: today we are one of the largest manu- lecturers of silk goods in the world, and the prices are about one-half what they were prior to the introduction of the silk industry into this country, the goods themselves presenting all the delicacy of the foreign goods and more enduring. The manufacturers spend their lives and money inventing and perfecting machin- cry, with all the risk of loss. in order to cheapen the cost of production, with less profit on an average than the capital employed would receive if invested in government bonds.
 One would imagine to hear the daily conversation that the present tariff was made by the enemies of American in- terests. What are the factsp There has been reduction of about $70,000, ,000 in the custom duties-20 per cent. has been added to the free list, making 90 per cent. of all importation absolutely free reducing materially the duties on all products, when it could be done without injury to our industries; increasing the duties on others, when it seemed i'm portant to encourage their production here. It is not claimed by the framers that the bill is perfect, and no one is more capable or willing to complete the work than its friends.

THE TOMBSTONE MINES.

The mine owners of Tombstone should, by some cooperative means, control the water in the lower workings of the mines in order that work at a reasonable depth may progress and the camp be given the resuscita ed life it merits. IL seems s though the Tombstone mine owners worked along with great profit until the first difficulty was encountered and then threw up their hands without a reasonable effort. The Grand Central and Ontention mines were brilliant ex- captions to this rule, but they failed to receive the cooperative assistance that was their due, and they tired of the burden so unjustly loaded wholly upon them.
 The whole policy of this camp since reaching water has been succession al errors. No mining camp in the country had a more brilliant inception. In fact, the commencement was of a nature to lead the successful mine owners to ex- pect too much, and when everything was not sunshine they became easily discouraged. Inasmuch as 1t has been demonstrated that the pump ing of water on any one of these mines benefcially affects .he en- tire camp there is no possible reason why the work should not be done by combination of effort and money, and the result is no experiment. The water can be lowered, and we believe when the large volume held in body is once exhausted, the trouble thereafter will be no greater than is usually expe- rienced in wet mines. This theory is partly borne out by the action of the water after the pumping ceased at the Grand Central and Contention.
 Mine owners who have ore above the water should not be selfish about the pumping proposition, but bear their proportionate share of the expenses, as they will be benefited equally with the deeper mines, and they can leave their ore above water to be taken out any time, but they cannot get their ore out water can be reduced. The burden would be light if borne by all, while the new vigor given the camp would be re- markable. Itseems a crying shame that this great camp should get rutted at the very door of it's prosperity, especially with a certainty awaiting the lucky and neryy mine owners,
