The news comes across the water
that Mr. Gladstone has written a let
ter to a friend, in which he expresses
the fear that his parliamentary and
political usefulness is about ended,
The old man is a splendid specimen
of zeal Saxon strength. He has been
a conspicuous figure in the public life
of England for half = century. 1t is
a ply that he cannot put the crown
upon his brilliant parlia nentary career
by securing Home Rule for long,
suffering Ireland. The old mar Can
not take his farewell of public place
and usefulness with feelings of deeper
regret than those which must fill thu
breasts of all true Saxon men, as they
see him step into the shade and silence
of old age and retirement.

THE Alliancemen in the Nebraska
Legislature are having trouble to get
what they understand to be their
rights. There seems to be a determine
ton upon the part of the old politicians
to beat them by fair means or foul.
1t is such desperate tactics upon the
part of the old party leaders that
makes the Alliancemen in the North
west so anxious to form another party.
Many conservative men are anxiously
asking the question: Will it evec be
possible to get the reforms needed by
the people by working through the
old party organizations 2 The present
winter will answer this question. And
it looks now very much as if it would
be answered in the negative. We
advise all our friends to use patience
and ~forbearance, SO that if independent
action shall be forced upon them, they
may have nothing to regret when thu
hour of battle comes.

The General Assembly met in Raj
eigh on Wednesday, the 7th inst, and
organized for the transaction of bust
ness. The farmers have a majority
in both Houses; and can secure such
legislation as they may desire. We
call their attention to the fact that
they now have the power in their own
hands, for the purpose of reminding
them that they will be held strictly
accountable for the character of Iegis.
Iation at the present session. The
farmers now have an opportunity tc
make good the claim, so often put
forth, that when they got into power,
they would give their fellow, citizens
an example of conservative and eco
nomical legislation, such as the State
never had before. Gentlemen, the
eyes of the people are upon you, and
they expect, and they have the right
to expect, that these promises and pre-
! dictions shall be fulfilled to the letter

JUDGE r. W. WINSTON began his
first court in Raleigh on Monday of
last week. All who heard his charge
to the grand jury speak of it in terms
of the highest commentator. The

disappointed if this praise had not
been forthcoming, The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER congratu .atea Mr., Winston
most heartily upon his elevation to

T US HAVE THE SCHOOLS.

In a sensible article forecasting the
work of the incoming Legislature, the
Charlotte Chronicle says:
More particularly, however the
masses will be interested in what will
be done by the incoming Legislature
for common schools. Will there be
heroic treatment, or will there only b
a slight increase in the school tundf
The Chronicle favors heroic treat
ment. 1t favors levying safis ieni
taxes to do the StaJe's work; the
States work is public education. ANY

Some Rare Old Instruments.

Mr.. Steinert, of this city, has added
to his rare collection of musical instru-
ments a viola de GAMBIA, which is prob
ably the only one in playable condition
in this country. It is in excellent pres
ervation, and it's present owner thinks
that none can be found in Europe in
such fine condition.
The first instrument has a straight
back and the top is of conical shape
similar to the bass viol of the present
day, and not rounded as the violoncello.
The scroll is an artistic piece of carving
made to represent the griffin of ancient
mythology and is of brazed wood. Ivory
squares are set in the finger board in
stead of raised brass frets, and accurate
ly designate the lingering places. 1t is
keyed for five strings, while all bow in
struments of the present age have but
four.
This valuable treasure of Mr.. Steinert
was found in monastery in Berlin, in
connection with viola d'Amore, by a
German citizen. He brought it to this
country about thirty years ago and kept
it until purchased by Mr.. Steinert. Al
though there was nothing about it to
show the date of it's make, its construc-
ton indicates that it was made some
time during the Fifteenth century. New

What Keeps the Bicyoler Upright9

Let us suppose a cyclist mounted on
his wheel and riding, say, toward the
north. He finds himself beginning to
tilt toward his right He is now going
not only north with the machine, but
east also. He turns the wheel eastward.
The point of support must of necessity
travel in the plane Of the wheel. Hence
it at once begins to go eastward, and as
it moves much faster than the rider tilts
it quickly gets under him, and the ma
chine is again upright. To one standing
at distance in front or rear the bot
tom of the wheel will be seen to move to
the right and left.
conclude, then, that the stability of
Che bicycle is due to turning the wheel
to the right or left, whichever way the
leaning is, and thus keeping the point of
support under the rider. just as boy
keeps upright on his finger a broom
stick standing on it's smallest end

Louis Blankenhorn and Sutherland
Hutton were yesterday seen fondling
a black mass of something like tar.
"What is it?" queried the HERALD

"That," was the reply, "is an asphalt
lining for reservoirs, and it is going to
do away entirely with cement for such
purposes. 1t is Southern California
product and will keep lots of money at
home which has heretofore gone to the
east, and will give employment to hun

and all the new ones will use it. 1t will

is only partial result of the work done

This is probably so, for what Mr..

know about such things, is not worth

posing the greatest number of ''proper"
words from the names of one OF their

quirer they responded through the
HERALD that the "proper" words would
be decided by Webster's dictionary /;
but which edition? The different edi-
tions have great many different and
proper" words; the later editions
omitting certain proper" words in the
former editions, and vice versa. Again,
the Webster itself has been supple
mented by the International, which has
many "proper" words not in Webster's,
and vice versa. Take the word "euca-
lypta." This must be a "proper" word,
else the aforesaid firm would mot
use it. That word is neither in Web
ster nor the International, but is in the
Century. If the aforesaid firm goes to
the Century, why may not the competi-
tors also for the greatest number of
proper words? Why should the
aforesaid firm enjoy a privilege and pro-
scribe it to others? Then there is the
word "Tulare." Is it not proper
word? 1t is not found in any dictionary,
even in the geographical list, yet it is to
be found in "eucalypta extract" Why
should the ruled out? Now, want to
know if the International and Century

Begged Johns Pardon.

At the Old Bailey it was customary to
sentence the whole Of the prisoners found
guilty at the sessions at one time. It
fell to Baron Graham's lot to perform
this duty, and he accordingly went over
the list with due solemnity, but omitted
one person brought up for sentence Mr..
John Jones. The judge was on the point
of finishing the sentences, when the Off
Ger reminded his lordship Of this omis-
sion. Whereupon the judge said grave
ly, "Oh! I am sure I beg John Jones'
pardon" and then sentenced him to
transportation for life.-San Francisco
