DEATH OF HON. PAUL C.. CAM.
ERON.

Information reached US by telegram
that this gentleman died at his residence
in Hillsb1ro Tuesday morning at half
past 10 o'clock, after somewhat brief
illness.
1t is not too much to say that the
tidings made profound impression
upon this community with which he has
been intimately associated for 8 greater
portion of his long life. His familiar
face and figure were known to all, and
though not constant resident of
R4ieigh. he was so much here as to be a
participant in all that interested its
people He was the charm OF large
society circle as he was the mainspring
OF some of it's most important business
enterprises. AS he was to Raleigh, so
be was to large portion of the State.
sagacity that was deep searching led
him to the inception Of measures through
which many comm antics derived essen
tisl benefit and his unerring judgment
guided them to successful development.
In fact sagacity and judgment were traits
30 prominent in his character as to have
impressed upon him the stamp Of great
ness, which would have had larger pop
ular recognition if the necessity had
been laid upon him for greater public
exertion. As it is, he always responded
to any call made upon his mental stores,
and with the gift of a ready, animated
oratory, he was welcomed as forcible,
convincing and most entertaining and in
structive speaker. Associated with his
sagaety and Judgment was a strong
sense of exact justice in his dealings
with mankind. He was candid and out
spoken, disdaining aattery and subter-
fuge, but his opinions were so tempered
by fairness aod frankness as to win ac
quiescence, even when his decisions
we're advers.
In a brief notice, such as this must
necessarily be, details either of life or
character are iaadmissible. 1t must suf-
fee now to say that the State has lost
one of its most useful and prominent
men, one whose loss will be senslbly felt.
For even at his advanced age, the powers
of his mind were so little abated, the
kindness of his interest 20 actively alive,
that ho lived in oontemporaneous inter-
est in full sympathy with the contem-
poraneous generation. As friend of
tha NojvArsitv tn uhosa weIfaro as "a Ia
Dor of active love and most effective
service, he has devoted much of his lat
ter years. His death will be the occa-
sion of the profoundest interest. His
memory will DO conspicuously and hon

so revered as the legacy of revolutionary

Recently some people coming in on
one of the ferries saw large family
towed along by dapper, pink-faced
little man. The family consisted OF
one very large wife, two very neat
nurses, five babies, assorted sizes,
and seventeen bags and bundles. The
little man led the way out of the ferry
house, called carriage, and packed
everything, even to the last bag neat
ly in. Then he said to the driver: "To
the Windsor" and then, with hand
on the door, said affably to his wife:
"Now my dear, you're all comfort
able, and I'll go uptown on the elevat-
ed and meet you at the Windsor" !"
and gave the carriage door a bang as
he backed off. But the large wife was
more than match for him. She
pulled the window down like flash
and called out to the driver, "Don't
you novel" and then to her recent
spouse, who was sheering off with
smiles, she thus addressed herself;
Here sir you don't do thatl This
circus belongs to you and you travel
with it. You come back in this car
riage!"
And he suddenly grew grave and
meek and crawled into a small cor
ner of the carriage, looking not half
so happy as q man should who owned
such a circus and had the privilege OF
travelling with it.-New York Evening

Edison on Dress,

Mr.. Edison has some singular ideas
regarding dress. He says: II wear the
same thickness of outer garments the
year round. I never wear an over
coat. It is big heavy, clumsy and of
little value as protector against cold.
The air can get in under it in anum-
ber of places. l increase or decrease
the number of my yunder-garments, ac-
cording to the temperature. Every
morning when get out of bed I open
the windows of my room and try the
air. If it is warm or mild put on one
under-shirt; if cold I put on two, and
if very cold l put on three. I was
down in the mountains of New Jersey
one winter with number of men and
proved that my ideas were good. The
thermometer was Is degrees below
zero, and they who wore heavy over
coats almost froze, while l, with no
overcoat and q thin summer-weight
suit of clothes over three heavy fan
mel undershirts was as comfortable
and clipper as if l had been in some
flower garden, in sunny, warm clim-
ate. You see an undershirt hugs you
tightly, doesn't allow any heat to es-
cape, and yet doesn't confine you as
an overcoat does"

Sleep After Night Work.

A Swiss doctor says that many
persons who extend their mental
work well into the night, who during
the evening follow attentively the
programme of a theater or concert,
or who engage evenings in the pro-
ceedings of societies or clubs, are
awakned in the morning or in the
night with headache. For a long
while the doctor was himself a sufferer
from headache of this kind, but of late
years he has wholly protected him
self from it by simple means. When
he is obliged to continue his brain
work into the evening, or to be out
late nights in rooms not we'll ventilat-
ed, instead of going directly to bed he
takes a brisk walk for an hour.
While taking this tramp he stops now
and then and practices lung gymnas-
tics by breathing in and out deeply
few times. When he then goes to bed
he sleeps soundly. Notwithsta nding
the shortening of the hours of sleep,
he awakens with no trace of headache.
There exists a clear and well-known
physiological reason why this treat
ment should be effective-Scientitic

HIDING GOLD.
Gold Accumulated in India Never
Leaves the Country.

Gold Accumulated in India Never
Leaves the Country.
A considerable part of all the gold
that goes to India never returns.
Having been obtained in the West by
the sale of exported productions, it is
retained in the East as realized profits,
wealth stored up, and, to moderate
extent, for use in the arts; for the rest,
as representative of value on the
credit of which traders buy and sell
with the bills of exchange they issue
and the book credits they open, and
settle up the differences with the
silver money of the country.
But the vast stock of gold accumu-
lated there undergoes no diminutiOn;
there is no ebb and flow under the
reciprocal action which commerce en-
forces in the case of countries trading
together on a common metallic basis.
The three millions sterling or there
abouts of gold bullion which India
annually adds to her store are, under
the momentary law Of that country,
Just as much lost to the nations of
the West, by being withdrawn from
the general commerce OF the world,
as if the money had been lent to a
South American Republic.
Between the years 1885 and 1889
(April) this depletion amounted in
value to 913O,292,7 Between that
date and the month of September OF
this year a further accumulation to
the value of 95,O69,272 has taken
place, bringing this portion of the
gold treasure of India up to a
value exceeding E135, $50, ,0oo.-Black.

Worth Its Weight in Gold.

In China there is a root called Khe-
ki-ye, which often sells for twenty to
one hundred times it's weight in gold.
In Nanchuria the same root, under q
different name, if anything more un-
pronounceable, sells equally as high.
These roots, which in order to be high
ly valuable must be ola peculiar shape,
are bought only by mandarins, priests
and others of the wealthiest classes.
Singler roots OF this plant not weigh
ing more than tenth of an ounce
are said to often sell for from fifty to
seventy-five dollars each. What is
still more remarkable about this
valuable eastern root is the fact that
it is a closely allied species,Jff not
identical, with our common ginseng

Vagarles of the Cuisine.

The climate of Hindoostan goes q
long way toward explaining the
religious scruples which would make
millions of Brahmins starve rather
than eat meat stews, but less intel
ligible is the prejudice of japanese
peasants, who cannot be persuaded
to drink cows milk. The Abyssinian
highlanders would shrink from neither
alternative, but would promptly cut
the acquaintance of a neighbor who
should defile himself by broiling a
rabbit. Moses, too, interdicts rabbit 8
flesh, which constitutes the only
luxury of the snow-bound Jakoots,
who would scorn to waste copper
coin on Chinese tea, but are apt to
fuddle with a decoction of fly toad
stool. The Tartar emirs scandalize
American missionaries by their fond
ness for milk brandy (koumiss), but
ere, in their turn, amazed at the
caprice that makes their pious guests
prefer pork to horsefesh. After all,
there is no disputing about tastes.

Five Arab MaximS.

The wisdom of the ancients is pro-
verbal. Here are five maxims from
Arabia that will stand the test of
time:
Never tell all you know; for he who
tells everything he knows often tells
more than he knows.
Never attempt all you can do; for
he who attempts everything he can
do, often attempts more than he can
do.
Never believe all you may hear;- for
he who believes all that he hsars often
believes more than he hears.
Never lay out all you can afford; for
he who lays out everything he can af-
ford often lays out more than he can
afford.
Never decide upon all you may see;
for he who decides upon all that he
sees often decides on more than he
sees.

The Yeomen of the Guard.

When Queen Victoria holds her
Drawing-rooms, one of the sights that
most pleases the public is the march
of the Yeomen of the Guard down the
Mall to Buckingham Palace. The
Yoemen of the Guard form, together
with the Gentlemen-at-arms, the body
guard OF the sovereign on all great
state occasions. They are one hun
dred in number, all old soldiers of ap-
proved service, and were originally in
stituted in 1885 by Henry VII. With
some very trifling alterations, they
have preserved for four centuries the
costume of the period, and with
their gay uniforms, flat caps, and long
partisans, have very striking ap-
pearance at state ceremonials. The
headquarters of the corps are at the
Tower of London, where they show
visitors round the fortress, and are
popularity known as beef-eaters, a cor
ruption of the French buffetier, q
name by which they were called from
it being part of their duties to attend
the sovereign at royal banquets.

SOME ANTIPATHIEs.
Queer Superstltions Of Some Cele-

81 like to see cats about, but if one
rubs against my flesh it almost sends
me into fits, and nothing could make
me touch one voluntarily" remarked
q young lady recently. "Stuff and
nonsense" said one of her listeners,
"Ive no patience with such antipa-
thies." Many people take the same view
of these peculiar dislikes, but history
records some strange instances of pet
aversions which seem to have q found
alton in more than "stuff and nom
sense"
The celebrated Erasmus, although a
native of Rotterdam, had such an
aversion to fish that the smell of it
threw him into q fever. Ambrose Pare
had a patient who could never see an
eel without fainting; and another who
would fall into commissions at the
sight of a carp.
Joseph Scaliger and others could
never drink milk. Gardan was dis
gusted at the sight of eggs. A kind of
Poland and secretary of France bled
at the nose when they looked at ap-
pies. Henry III, of France and many
others had great aversion to cats,
mice and spiders. A great huntsman
in Hanover, who would valiantly at
tack wild boar, always tainted
away at the sight of a roasted pig.
Amatus Lusitanus knew a person
who tainted whenever he saw u rose,
and hence always kept his house when
they were in bloom. Scaliger men
tions similar case in regard to
lilies, and Bayle about honey. Bayle
himself turned pale at seeing water
crosses.
Tycho- Brahe tainted at the sight oi
q fox, and Marshal d'Albret at the
sight of a pig. A lady, wonderful
enough, could not endure the feel oi
silk or satin. A man, not so strangely,
was known to faint whenever he heard

How to Drink Milk.

Some complain that they cannot
drink milk without being "distressed
by it," The most common reason why
milk is not we'll borne is due to the
fact that people drink it too quickly.
If a glass of it is swallowed hastily, it
enters into the stomach and then
forms i'll one solid, curdled mass, diff
cult of digestion. If, on the other hand,
the same quantity is slipped, and three
minutes, at least, are occupied in
drinking it, then, ON reaching the
stomach, it is, so divided that when
coagulated, as it must be by the gas
trio juice, while digestion is going on,
instead of being in one hard condensed
mass, upon the outside of which only
the digestive fluids can act, it is more
in the form of a sponge, and in and
out of the entire bulk the gastric juice
can play freely and perform it's funct-

Sir Edwin Arnold Speaks OF the
Ethics In Japan.

Sir Edwin Arnold speaks with au-
thority unquestionably upon the eth
les of Japan. Others may know more
about it's arts and history, perhaps,
though it must be remarked that the
connoisseursd do not agree with one an
other much. But when it comes to the
usages OF the people, we should accept
the evidence of poet and a cultured
observer, who loves them enthusiastic
cally beyond all others. Sir Edwin
states that it is usual for q Japanese
shopkeeper in the cities to put up an
English translation beside the vernac-
ular upon his side-board. This is
certainly curious, and significant.
The. adoption of our language must
be growing indeed when such custom
prevails. The translations are every
comical sometimes" as yet; but that
is nothing In most European ports,
those tradesmen along the waters
edge who deal in things required by
SdHOfS put up I'LL LIlSllsH AlSCrlpCloh'
The Russians go further; at Cron-
stadt, for instance, q large proper
ton of shops throughout the town
follow this practice. But Sir Edwin
Arnold spoke of Japanese cities in gen
eral, apparently, and of tradesmen in
general. Furthermore, though this is
a slight matter by comparison, "at
all railway stations the name of the
town or village is written up in both
characters" Under such extraordi-
nary circumstances, it is clear that
the study of English must be advanc-
ing at great pace. There are not yet
so many European residents in Japan,
nor so many travellers, that a trades
man should find it really worth while
to translate the descri ption of his
goods. He must be following a fashion,
and in that case we may be sure that
he makes an effort to have his chill
dren taught English. The result might
be grotesque for a generation; but
year by year the teaching will improve,
If the fashion remain.
