Rescued from Her Lover.

IN Campbell county lives an
old gentleman who has a beauti-
ful daughter, sixteen years Of
age. While she was visiting
relatives at Lawyers Road, a
young drummer fell in love
with her, and won her heart.
He had seen her three times,
when they planned to run away
from the old mother and father,
who dotted on her.
The plan was for her TO visit
a relative near Danville, and 90
from there to Greensboro, where
she would meet her lover. She
went to her relatives about two
weeks ago, and Monday she
said she was going back home
She bought a ticket to Lynch
burg as a blind. On the train
was a Mr.. R., who was to meet
her. They went as far as Chat
ham, where they staid all night
and started back Tuesday night
for Greensboro.
In the mean time, a cousin of
the girl heard of it, and as he
had promised her mother he
take good care of her, while she
was at his mothers, he jumped
ON the train at North Danville
and then a rare and exciting
scsne occurred. The girls
cousin, Mr.. j. S., swore she
should go back, and the drum
mer's friend swore she shouldn't
and the girl herself vowing that
she wouldn't. Trey had it up
and down, while the cars were
rolling on towards Greensboro,
where the lover was waiting
impatiently for their arrival.
The girl appealed to the con-
ductor, Capt. K. +. Morris, to
put her cousin off the train, so
that he would not interfere with
her plans. The conductor made
her a feeling and handsome lit
tie speech. Among other things,
he told her he could not grant
her request, and advised her
against the step she was about
to take. Mr.. j. S. (her cousin)
was determined and before the
train reached Brown Summit,
the girls escort had disappeared
There was nothing left for
the girl to do but to give up. So.
she consented to get off the train
with her cousin at Brown Sum-
init, and after waiting a short
time, they took the train COM
ing back and the next morning
she was with her parents

who should aBow" First.

A great deal of nonsense has
been talked about the question
of whose place it is to bow first
when a lady and gentleman
meet upon the streeto in a pub
lie assembly.
1t is very absurd to say that a
man should always wait until a
lady has recognized him. In
this, as in most other matters
common sense and mutual con.
venience are the only guides,
Many Indies are near sighted;
many others find great difficulty
in remembering faces. Are
they, because of these draw
backs, to be always debarred of
the pleasure of a chance meet
ing with some agreeable man?
The important thing, of course,
is that a man should not pre-
sumo; that, for instance, he
should not speak to a lady to
whom he has been merely in-
troduced, unless she shows some
sign of willingness to continue
the acquaintance. Not to lift
his hat to her with Difference
would be a rudeness, but he
should not stop to speak unless
she makes the first movement
in that direction.
When two people meet who
are really acquainted, it is not
the man who should necessarily
bow first, or the lady-it is
whichever of them is the first
to perceive and recognize the
other.
If a lady is walking and
meets a man whom she knows
well, and who desires to speak
with her, he will, of course, not
co nmit the awkwardness of
keeping her standing on the
street, but if he has time will
beg permission to join her for a
few moments aud walk beside
her long enough for a brief chat.
The lady, on her part, will
make it easy for him to leave
her wnen they have exchanged
the few pleasant sentences that
belong to such a meeting.-

Hands Across the Sea.

Every indication of good fell
lowship. every incident that
draws closer together England
and America, the great English
speaking nations, ought to be
made the most of. English is
the language of the future, be-
cause already more civilized
people use it than any other, al
so because those who speak it
are the coming race. Troublous
times are in store for the mon
arches in Europe. England is
a kingdom in little more than
the name, her government be-
ing nearly as free as our own.
In the crash that is sure to come
among monarchies and empires,
it will be well for the free Eng
lish speaking peoples to stand
together. They can rule the
world. ,.-
Significant signs show that
the feeling of brotherhood be-
tween Great Britain and the
United States is increasing. II
will grow still more rapidly
when lreland's wrongs are re.
dressed. Pleasant it is to read
of the special services held in
Westminster, Abbey in memory
| of our dead poet, Lowell. Arch
deacon Farrar himself conduct
ed the beautiful and impressive
service, and said of Lowell: "He
was one of the sacred unions
binding England and America
more closely together. He was
loved and his memory will be
revered by the two mightiest
nations of the earth"
Pleasant it is TO read, too,
that a special committee of Eng
lish ladies has taken up the
work of furthering the interests
of our Columbian fair. AT the
head of the committee is no less
a person than the queens own
daughter, Princess Christian,
which shows the feeling of the
British royal family toward A.
merica at least. We can recall
with satisfaction, too, that this
interest among the women Of
England in our " orld's far is
ldue to the efforts of the accom-
plished and patriotic president
of the American women's COM
mission for the exposition, Mrs.
Potter Palmer.

wholesale DlsmIssals.

On August 1st about eighty
employees of the New York
Custom House were discharged
by direction of Secretary Of the
Treasury Foster, and by like or
der, the salaries of a number of
other clerks were substantially
reduced. The discharges include
one Deputy Collector, one Chief
Clerk Of one of the divisions and
many clerks, messengers and
laborers. The removals and re.
ductions in salaries will make
a saving to the government OF
about $4,000 a year.
The extravaganza of the Bill,
lion Dollar Congress has made
necessary this wholesale dis
missal OF government employees
and yet, If the public interests
can be properly served by the
force remaining, it is clearly
proved that there have been toe
many places on the government
pay roll that economical admin.
istration has no placein the con
sideration of the powers that be
except as a necessity bred by 9
shortness in the supply Of cash.
IL is often said that il costs
the people more TO have a giver
work performed than private
citizens or well organized cor
porations would pay for the
same service. This is unques.
tionably true, for the pressure
for employment upon govern
ment officials is so strong that
places are made for the benefit
Of political and personal friends
lin order TO get rid Of their i'm
Iportunities. There is, Of course
mourning among the beheadec
and their friends, who mutually
think that "some other fellows
ought TO have suffered the con-
sequences Of too liberal appro'
priations by the Congress.

THE WHEAT CROP.
A Plentiful Harvest in North
Dak0ta--Farmers VIII Mark
Of Tbair Grain af Onca.

ct Their Grain at once.
A dispatch from Grand Forks,
N. d., says: The wheat crop
just harvested in this state ex-
ceeds 20,000, 900 bushels.
Commissioner of Agriculture
Helgesen's official estimate
places the wheat acreage at g.
OO0, 900 acres, with an average
yield of seventeen bushels to
the acre, making the aggregate
yield 81 900, 900 bushels and this
estimate will fall short of the
actual crop. Wheat threshed
in Grand Forks county yielded
thirty eight bushels to the acre.
In Nelson county two and one
half acres yielded 1886 bushels of
oats.
DULUTH, MINI, Sept. L.
Wheat in store here now is only
228, 900 bushels, but the new
wheat has begun to pour in at
the rate of fifty to seventy-five
carsa day, and advices from the
country show that shipments by
farmers from now win be large.
Talks with farmers who are here
indicate that few of the Dakota
farmers will try to hold their
wheat, but that nearly all will
put it on the market at once. A
few Of the larger farmers will
sell part and hold what they can
in elevators The Dakota ele-
vators will not store what for
farmers on account of the new
Dakota law and they will thus
be compelled to sell.
j. Sawyer, the head of the
North Dakota Elevator Com
pany and the Duluth Elevator
Company, says that his COM
pany would handle about l6,-
900, 900 bushels here and that
he estimated the total receipts
of Duluth for the crop year at
so, 600, 900 bushels. Last weeks
Duluth receipts aggregated 490,-
900 bushels and this weeks will
probably amount TO as much
more.

The Carlsbad Trademark Decis.
VI. ion.

iOn.
The spectacle OF a city of the
Austrian Empire sueing a citi-
zen of the United States is a un-
ique one, but above this, the
question of trademark right is
Of wide interest. The City of
Carlsbad is the only municipal
corporation in the world having
the right under patent to engage
in manufacturing and selling
goods, and the privilege has
been theirs for several hundred
years. They have manufactur-
ed and sold a variety of articles,
but the most important has been
developed during the past fifty
years-to wit, the Carlsbad
mineral waters and Carlsbad
sprudel salts. The operation
Of the wells and the sale of the
waters and salts has made the
name of Carlsbad famous, and
naturally the temptation to out
siders to appropriate it was
great.
So many people are now max
ing Carlsbad water and Carls-
bad sprudel salts-some with
the addition of the world "arti-
ficial"-that it is very evident
that the belief is prevalent that
the name of a city is not a legi-
innate one to be used as a trade
mark. But the case of the City
of Carlsbad, operating as a mer-
chant in its own behalf, and
under letters patent, is quite
unique and not comparable with
anything else in the mercantile
world.
The decision of Judge Blod-
gett, in favor Of the plaintiffs,
will no doubt be q surprise to
many. He is very clear upon
the point that no one but the
plaintiffs have the right to use
the word Carlsbad. and that
even the addition of the word
artificial" will not serve the de-
fendant "to escape the charge
of wrongfully availlng himself
Of complaints name and repu-
tation." He grants an injunc-
tion against w. 7. Thackeray
& Co, Of Chicago, enioining
them from selling or offering
for sale any preparation of salt,
of which the word Carlsbad
forms a part Of the name. Il is
safe to predict that this sweep
ing decision will cause the
changing of some hundreds Of
labels in this country. Oil

The Sonfh,s Prosperty.

Financially the Southern
States are glowing with health
and promise and rejoicing in
the consciousness of their es-
sential greatness. No furor has
been created by sensational adj
vertising, the world has been
astonished by the latest statis-
tics of wonderful growth as
shown in the national census
for 1890. The sum Of all Is the
fact that the assessed value of
property in nine states is esti-
mated by the census officials to
have grown from $1,000, 900, 900
i'm 1880 to 81, 900, 900, 900 in 1890.
The reports Of the census
everywhere tells Of enlarged
and enlarging areas Of cultiva-
ton, of new mines Of coal and
iron, excellent in quality and in-
exhaustible in quantity, of new
manufactures in every depart
ment of human industry. All
the basis Of wealth and sound
and satisfactory finance are
here; and in my opinion South
ern enterprises are animated,
sustained and fortified by as
sincere and as high a regard for
commercial credit and personal
honor, and by as profound q
conviction Of the necessity of
fair dealing as are to be found
anywhere The Forum.

"Just to see what'll happen. here

The lady bounced from the seat,
and, snatching the cigar from his lips,
threw it out of the window.

The gentleman, quite taken back,
thought it best to be quiet, while secret

the lady's muff appeared to become
