The chivalric gentleman never boasts
of his popularity with the ladies, but
the coxcomb has the ineffable meanness
to brag of favors that he never has re.
ceived, and that be is an object of admi
ration in quarters where he is regarded
as a nuisance. Now and then one of
these pretenders gets a horsewhippinq
from the indignant brother or lover or
husband of some lady. whose taste as
we'll as character, he has l,beled; but
many of the tribe, more'a tie pity, go
unwhipped of justice. We recently
heard OF one of the genus who is in the
habit of procuring the cartes de visite of
ladies at Photographic establishments
for the purpose of exhibiting them to his
m lie acquai' tences as portraits sent to
him by the fascinated originals. There
are some Witnesses which can only be
reached and adequately puni. he'd blythe
right ann of private avenger;and this
ia, we think, one of them. Only fools of
the lowest caliber seek popularity in this
way. All women, Without exception,
abhor such men. !.

The New York Age recently had an
article which applied the word pauper
to the Colored race because their schools
churches, etc., are 80 largely supported
by white men. There is some truth in
the structures, but there is also another
side of the question. That is how much
do the Colored people contribute to en-.
terprises conducted by white men. Let
US see. The eight million Colored peo-
pie of this country annually consume a
vast amount of clothing, provisions and
furniture, purchased generally from
white men. They buy books, newspa-
pers and many other articles made gen.
orally by white men. They aid largely
In sustaining the white mans breweries,
distilleries and tobacco factories, and
help largely TO support his lawy ers and
ply sicians. They pay for riding on his
railroads and work for him at the lowest
rates. And they produce for him sever.
al million bales of cotton every year.
The small amount donated by whites for
Colored institutions is but small per
centage of the above.

$2OO,OO FIRE IN RALEIGH.
The New Round House Of the Il.
s. G. IL. II. Rurned-Scvcn-
teen Locomotive Engines
Belonging to the Sea-
board System De-
StrOyed

4 destructive fire occurred in Raj
eigh at an early hour Sunday morning,
causing serious loss to the Raleigh &
CASTOR Railroad Company. The new
round house and seventeen locomotive
engines were burned or disabled. The
State Chronicle of Monday gives the
following account:
About two O'Clock Sunday morning
the prolonged and mournful sound of a
steam whistle alarmed the people of
tile northwestern portion of the city.
and almost simultaneously the bright
blaze of a terrible contiagration illumi-
mated the r.. s. G.. r. r. yards.
The new round house of the road with
seventeen locomotive engines standing
therein was wrapped in flames. There
are many conjectures as to the cause
of the fire, none of which can definitely
be said to be correct. One thinks it
was caused from spark or coal lodged
in the wood piled upon the tender ofan
engine placed i'll the house about IL
O'Clock midnight. Another thinks the
fire originated from the electric light
wires running into the roof from which
is suspended the lighting apparatus of
that building. The Waterman came
out few minutes before the fire was
discovered and had just made hisrounds
and found nothing to indicate danger.
Whether or not the true cause of the
fire will ever be known it is terrible
fact that there within the blackened
walls of once magnificent building
now stand seventeen large locomotive
engines charred and disfgured if not
totally ruined. Five of these were in
the course of getting ready for their
first trip, and cost $4,000 each. The
splendid little new engine Egypt, built
in Raleigh for the Egypt road, which
has made but one trial trip, is among
those burned. The loss Oh building
and engines estimated at 5000, 900.
The above was intended for last
weeks paper, but in making up the
forms it was left out Later develop
ments reveal the fact that the loss is
nothing like as great as at first sup.
posed. Fourteen of the locomotives
have been sent to the shops at Ports.
mouth and the others will be repaired
in the shops at Raleigh. i "ctua
damage to the locomotives wi. !.ot be
more than from 5000 to 500 each, it is
thought, while the round house was
valued at about 100000.

upon which the future of that region
rests, is based upon the Development of
actually existing natural resources and
the establishment of solid and su,,stan-

It may we'll be taken as conhrma-

claimed for the Sonth and the strength
of her position before the, world to-day,
that every effort to decry Southern in
dustries and development has its found
alton in purely fictitious conditions
that vanish into thin air upon the most
casual investigation. For single ex-
ample of this take the absurd talk of a
few critics, who are endeavorlng to
show that the building Of new towns
in the South has gone as far as it can
with safety. Just while this idle talk
is being intruded upon unwilling listen
ers and readers, the figures of the pres

of the South has not yet reached the
point that will make it necessary to fill
