THE BOOK OF LIFE.

Our life's book-a different page
Is turned each day;
The mysteries the next cOnceals,
None dare to say.
The binding Of Life's book is Hope,
With Faith enwove:
The golden rim about its leaves
Is human love.
And each event, each deed Of ours,
Itself prints there
In blurred type, Sin, while Virtue stamp.
In letters clear,
Each noble act performed is marked
In blue and gold;
But all unjust or wicked deeds,
Black lines enfOld.
A bright, illuminated scroll
Adorns eace page;
For each temptation we Withstand
From youth to age.
Our days its numbered fOliOs are,
And Death its clasp;
The power to make this volume fair
Is in our grasp.
So live that when all work Is done,
And laid aside,
Our children'S eyes may look upon
The book with pride;
Then, void of shame or haunting fear,
1t may be read.
When haply we may rest among
The hOnOred dead.

We noticed an old Confederate
soldier in rags one day last week. He
gets small pension from the State,
but what poor compensation for the
sufferings that he has endured. If he
had his strength he would have no
need of help from the State, but there
are some narrow hearted individuals
who begrudge such unfortunates the
pittance that they receive. 1t is a dis
g,ace to the State that single Con-
federate soldier should be allowed 10
suffer in time of plenty. When will
North Carolinians awake to a sense of
their duty to the surviving remnants of
the Lost Cause?- ReiasUi3le Weekly,

The top of the hills so made are some
; inches below the common level, so
the dirt is easily moved up to the
young plant when set. This plan does
well both for wet and dry seasons.
For new land my plan is to have it
level, then run furrows or rows 31h
feet apart, apply 2 loads manure and
two hundred pounds fertilizer to the
acre and proceed as above stated for
old land.
PLANTING AND CULTIVATING.
The proper time for setting out the
plants is from the 5th of May to the
10th of June. As soon as the young
roots of the plants take new start to
grow, which they will in or 10 days,
the harrows and hoes should start in
stirring the ground and as soon as the
plants get larger and stronger, larger
plows may be used. Just after the
land has been packed by rain when
dry enough the blowing should be
done and hoeing at leisure. Flowing
and hoeing should be repeated every
10 or IS days till the tobacco is large
enough to top.
TOPPING
Every planter must judge for him.
self as to how high or low the tobacco
should be topped. Plants should be
topped somewhat according to their
growth. By topping at or 10 leaves
you get large, waxy wrappers and fill
ers, and by topping at 16 or IS leave:
you get fine, silky and thin wrappers
cutters and smokers. So the planter
must be governed according to de-
mands and prices, as before stated in
the selection of soil.
METHODS OF CURING.
For the last three years l have useo
with success the patent wire sticks in
troduced by Captain w. H. Snow, O
High Point, N. c., and fully described
in former issues of the Journal 1 an
fully persuaded that this methoe
should be adopted by all planters o
tobacco, as time, labor, fuel and stor
age room are saved by the use of it
with many other advantages. l hav'
been told by large dealers in fine lea
that they preferred buying tobacco
cured on the stalk, assigning as a rea
son that the tobacco cured off the stall
is generally light, without any bed.
and hard to get in handling order.
l agree with them that if the to
bacco is poorly worked; made withou
a proper amount of fertilizing, that tn
tobacco will be light and chafy. So
would be if cured on the stalk or b,
any other process. The secret is this
brother farmers, we top too high, d.
not fertilize enough, plant too much
plant too thick, do not work enough
and try to cure the tobacco before
natures. The process of curing ha
nothing to do with changing the to
bacco when it leaves the field a good
waxy tobacco to light, chaffy plan
when cured. Do you believe it? Wha
say you all?
With very great respect for you
patience, l am,
! Yours truly,
]. M. MCMICHAEL.

VOLUNTARY POVERTY
Adopted by a Man Who Has d Relig-
ious Mania.


CLARKsBURG, w. VA, Feb. i5.-Henry
Strader, a well-known and wealthy farmer
living at Flatwoods, Braxton county. in
this state, has conceived the idea that the
Lord appeared to him personally and COM
manded him to sell all his property and
divide the proceeds among the poor. He
has succeeded in disposlng of considerable
amount, and is about to sell his farm and
lumber lands. His poor neighbors, among
whom he is dividing the proceeds Of the
sales, encourage him in his belief aud pro-
fess to think that he has been chosen by the
Almighty for some great work, if he only
observes the command.
Strader has family, and if some means
are not taken 90 prevent him it is feared he
will render them absolutely penniless, so
firm is he in his belief of the truth of of his
conviction. He has long been a religious
man, but had never before shown any sign
of insanity. He is apparently sane on all
subjects except this, and in disposing of the
property has at times driven some close
bargains, while at others he has been very
reckless. His family is greatly distressed,
and Is eudeavoring to adopt some plan to
prevent him sacrificing everything.

One Cause of Trouble at the Saltwater
Penitentiary.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 15.-The testi-
mony given before the special senatorial
prison investigating committee this after
noon proved most sensational in character.
H H. Hart, secretary of the board of cor
rections and charities, made an inspection
Of the prison and testified that Convict
Munger, in charge of the warden's stables,
furnished conviets with liquor, and, on
numerous occasions, intoxicated prisoners
were found about the prison premises at
Saltwater. Convicts were allowed TO
run loose together in the cell-room
every Sunday morning after service
in the chapel. They were permitted to
have money, and in several instances
gambling bad been carried on. Ball-play-
ing, quoit-pitching, and other games were
often going on, and in the blacksmith shops
convicts made coffee, molasses candy, and
lemonade during working hours. Matron
Walker said she had lots of trouble with the
women because of the men throwing kisses
and passing Signals to them. She finally
had to give orders that the women should
be closely watched. 1t was also shown that
it cost nearly 800 moro per year to keep a
prisoner at Saltwater than at Joliet.

rotary to make certain entries on his books,
which he believed were intended to defraud
the persons interested, and he refused to do
as she wished. This enraged Miss Murray,
and she Immediately called pack OF dogs
from an adjoining room and set them on
the secretary. Before he had an opportu-
nifty to defend himself they had torn both
his legs terribly. Miss Murray stood by
and seemed to enjoy the performance.
Barton at once left the service of Miss MUIR
ray and went TO New York, where he was
obliged to remain in bed at the house of a
friend until last week. His injuries were
nearly healed, when blood poisoning set in,
and he at once decided to bring suit against
his employer. The papers have been served

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Relation of a District Judge to the General Government.

The supreme court of the United States has just rendered an important decision in the case of Ward McAllis- ter vs. the United States. From the Globe Democrat the following facts are obtained: McAllister was removed from office as Judge of the District Court for Alaska by President Cleve. lane and claimed salary from the time of his removal to the qualification of Dawson, who was confirmed as his successor. One question Tn the case was whether the Judge of the Alaskan Court came within the provision of section 1768, Revised Statutes, an- thorizing the president to suspend all civil officers "except judges of the United States" The court holds that the Alaska court is not a court of the United States in the constit ltional sense as set forth in the third article of the constitution, but a territorial court.
 The fact that the term of the Alaska judge is limited to four years and that he dees not hold office for life or dur ing good behavior, the court cays, proves it is not court of the United states as the term is constitutionally used. The court said the decision in the present case gave the president complete power over territorial officers. Judgment is therefore given in favor of the United States.
 Justice Field and Justices Grey and Brown dissented in an opinion in which Justice Field maintained that the mere will of the president was not sufficient to remove judge of court created by the United States, and that ] the constitution did not contemplate that a judge should be responsible to any one for @ continuance in office, It seemed to him that some of his brethren overlooked the character ol the judicial branch of the government when they made distinction against the courts of the territories.
 These courts had similar powers and there was the same necessi y that they should use their office fearlessly and without fear of offending any presi- dent lest they should be removed. The case of Wingard, Justice of the Washington territory court, was deci ded the same way.
