ABOUT THE STUFF.

THE GLOBE has just received a clrcu-
lar from the Durham Fertilizer company,
though it does not know who sent it,
which is called the "Verdict."
This elaborate and comprehensive vol
ume deals in testimonials from different
farmers who have bought the stuff called
Durham Fertilizer, and which has been
declared to be not up to the analysis, and
which company attempted to detraud the
state, and which company admitted the
fraud.
We regret that this valuable household
book of song and library of universal
knowledge was printed before our Yam
farm was in full running order; we re-
greet that We did not have an opportunity
to contribute our evidence to the elegant
yet expensive circular.
However, as it hath been said that it
is better late than never, we will now
give a few crisp and sparkling gems
which may be placed in the back part of
the second edition, and we commend
these gems to the consideration of all
people who want to be in it.
They read, respectively and otherwise,
as follows:
To the Durham Fertilizer Co., Durham,
\. c.:
DEAR MR.. WATTs-While you are not
the sole boss of the business, your piety
calls for this from me. | used two (2)
sacks of your celebrated stuff and my
yams not only went forty bushels to the

and I regard your fertilizer as a grand
success. 1t is good for bed-bugs and
does its work speedily and we'll. Yours
in the faith, BILLY JONES.

The Raleigh Signal, republican, says
editoria'ly this week: Every citizen of
the state has reason to be proud of
JULIAN S. CARR. The world is much
better because he has lived in it. We
hope the time is not far distant when the
whole people Of the state will confer
their greatest gift on him because he de-
serves it and the people would do them
selves great honor by such action" A
correspondent from Shake Rag in the
same issue says: Mr.. CARR is 1.-The one
man above all others in the state who
would practically have no republican
opposition. There are thousands Of re-
publicans who would support MR.. CARR
in preference to any man of their own
party and they would do it openly and
boldly"

A PERMANENT CENSTs HUREAU

Tie superintendent of the census has
drawn up a bill providing for the estab-
lishment of a permanent census bureau,
and it is announced that it will be
among the first measures introduced in
the senate. The subject has received
some public discussion, and the weight
Of intelligent unprecedented opinion is ia
vorable to the proposition. Opposition
to it comes only or mainly from those
who will see no merit in the work Of the
census bureau as at present constituted,
and who for political or other reasons
are hostile to SUPERINTENDENT PORTER.
Possibly this opposition may have sufti
cient influence with the house of repre-
sentatives to defeat the proposition.
The question should be considered en-
tireIy from the practical point Of view.
1t has nothing to do with politics Or the
interests of parties. Would the creation
Of a permanent ensus bureau, doing con-
tinuOus and consecutive work in collect
ing statistics of the industrial progress of
the country, be sufficiently valuable in
suggesting and promoting intelligent leg
i~slatiOn, and in other respects, to Justify
the additional expenditure it would in
vOlve? appears to be the only inquiry it
is necessary to make. 1t is a fact fami-
liar to every one who has occasion to
consult the census, that statistics col
lected once in ten years soon lose their
value, especially as a guide for legisla-
ton, usually becoming practically worth
less for any purpose by the time they are
compiled and published. 1t is correctly
said Of the compilations of the last four
or five decennial periods, especially with
regard to manufactures, prices and wages,
that their great fault is in being fixed
and arbitrary, each period by itself, ignor-
ing the changing conditions that are con-
stantly going on in methods of produc-
ton and employment of capital. The
tabulatiOns are consequently misleading.
They fail to indicate the bearing of one
in the meantime by notifications of the
tariff, of the banking and currency sys-
TENS, and other causes.
\ permanent census bureau would
mean, not only formation having the
weight of contemporary authority, but
greater accuracy both as to facts and de-
auctions. 1t would provide trained sta
tisticians who avoid the errors and false
deductions that bring distrusl upon the
statistics as complied under the pre-
: vailing system, and these trained en-

baskerville Citizen.

THE DURHAM GLOBE proposes to give
$3.50 to an exhibition at the Worlds fair
and label it "NOrth Carolina" if no
other man or individual donates a penny.
But THE GLOBE hopes, and so do we,
that there will be a great many more pen
MES in the form of substantial checks
contributed for this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this to be brought
about ? 1t occurs to The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing a start. A powerful adj
dress from him might awaken the peo-
pie to a full realization of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
ously represented at Chicago as to at
tract the attention Of a gOOdly percen-
tage of the visitors. Attic present time
we are not going to anticipate the gov-
ernOr and point out the immense advan-
tages that such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure to afford. We are
only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be a curious COM
mentary on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furthelmost nations Of
the earth already see, and are octing
upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
knOWn-greatest lot only as a show
but as a means of making money, of ad.
ding to our population and to our
wealth.
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe
vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and it is also
proper and timely to remind all who are
interested-and who is not that much
more of delay mean that we shall be

fuse more space to some foreign exhibit

THE DURHAM GLOBE with its usual
enterprise has started a popular subscrip-
ton fund to represent North Carolina at
the Worlds fair in '93, by heading the
list with $3.50. We hope that Colonel
Fairbrother will be successful in raising
the balance to make up $25, 600. North
Carolina should be represented by all
means and her moneyed citizens ought
to contribute literally to such a fund.

Poison by Absorption,

The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and am
monia show their effect about as quickly
as any. The popular belief that arsenic
clears the complexion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with 1t in
small, continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivorylike appear
ance of the skin during certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible afrel
effects have become too well known .c
make it of common use as Il cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the coD
plexion are directly opposite from that
Of arsenic. The first symptoms of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
a discoloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face, until the complexion has a
stained, blotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water and food, these strik-
ing symptoms do not appear SO soon.
The only effect of the poison that is Wis
ible for time is general unwholesome-
ness and sallowness of the complexion

Of Paris, Monseigneur Affre, voyaging

different social stations. Among the
group was a young drummer for busi-
ness house who, like his successors Of q

good story in his own mind and practi-
cal joke. The clerical standing Of the
archbishop did not exempt him even
from attempts at banter or witticism,
but with the consideration he thought
due to the company present he passed
the Youngsters efforts over with merely
an indulgent smile. Waxing holder by
this apparent immunity, the young trav-
eler at last went beyond all bounds Of
proper respect.

asked spiritedly, ''the difference between
the archbishop and an ASST"

tomary courtly manner and without the
least appearance Of offense or resent

own little circus, ''the one bears cross

Bleeding Kansas Going 70 Rack and Ruin

Information from Washington

gresham B. w. Perkins, Of Kansas,
lie in the city on business in the de-
partments. Speaking of the situa-
ton in his state, he remarked that
the success OF the Farmers Alliance
was the greatest curse that ever be-
fell the state. s'When we were af-
fiicted with the grasshoppers, the
drouth, and all those plaques, we had
the sympathy of the people at large,
but since we have Endorsed the ALI
snce by electing it's men to congress,
the public have lost confidence
in us as state; money is scarce
and it is almost impossible to borrow
it. The money that has been In the
market has been Withdrawn. The
leaders of the Alliance have declared
for what is practically fiat money and
the reputation OF debts. Mr.. PETER
has publicly said that the people OF
Kansas are too much involved to pay
their debts. Mrs. Lease, one of
their champions, is going about or
ganizing societies to prevent the
foreclosure OF mortgages and collec-
ton of debts. My successor, Mr..
B. III. Glover, comes TO congress to
secure legislation on platform that
declares the residents OF cities are
supported by the farmers, and it
would be cheaper 10 keep them in
The poor house than as tradesmen in
the cities"
Referring to the actual condition
of business in Kansas, he observed
that, 'sin all the state, save a few
cities in the mineral belt, there was
not nail being driven or single
being put on. All improvements
have stopped and the intelligent
farmer is to realizs that instead Of
helping them the Alliance has added
to their evils and precipitated addi-
tional misfortune upon them"

A tragedy occurred at Peters
Landing, Ark, Thursday night.
| The principals were two farmers
named Brewer and Smith. The
house of the latter was visited by
Brewer, who accused him of killing
some of his (Brewer's) hogs. The
men quarreled, and Smith opened
fire on the other with pistol. Brew
er was unarmed and fed in the d.
rection of his own house. Smith
followed, firing at him until he had
emptied his pistol. As he fired the
last shot Brewers house was
reached, and the fleeing man ran
into it. He armed himself and came
out quickly. Smith then ran and
Brewer pursued, firing four times,
each shot taking effect in Smith 5
