APRoPos of MIR. Grey's remarksable
poetical advertising, the following
from local paper, appears to be an
awful example:
Come in, come in, We p eople fine,
And buy something for only a
dime,
Or, look at a pretty writing
For papers and books, cheap as you
ask,
1t cannot be beat, it pleases them
all,
Perfect, adjustable and hangs on
the wall.
You stand up in the morning to
write
And then you may sit down at
night,
Feds fancy stands with legs No 8,
The prettiest things you ever did
see,
I have them round and square
for 81.
Perfect and complete ready for the
And if your fancy on odd things
Don'tstop to barter, have'em made
to order,
And thus If you hope 10 soar with
angels above
Don't let a man die for want o.
money or love.

New Uses for the scrub Palm

Everybody who has been in Flori-
da, and especially on the flat lands
along the st. Johns river, has learned
that the scrub palmetto. a stunted
palm growth, has been a poor, de.
spised thing ever since white men
trod Florida soil. 1t has been looked
upon as worthless and cumbrous to
the land and those who have
ploughed it up and made every effort
to kill it out have considered 1t q
curse. But it is now more than like.
" that it will be looked upon as an
article of value to the owners of the

land where it grows. Its berries have
been found to contain rare medical
qualities; the root Is said to con tain a
large percentage of tannin, and some
works have been started to convert
the leaves into fibre. A factory has
been put up at Jacksonville TO work
up these leaves into fibre which, it Is
claimed, will make the best rope and
mating, and is used for making hats,
mattresses and neutrality-suspicious.

AN EARTHQUAKE FEARED.

A dispatch from Rome says that
the villages on the slope of Mount
Vesuvius are being abandoned by
their residents, and it is feared that
one Of the worst earthquakes that
ever visited the country is imminent.
The earthquake shocks that have
always preceded destructive out
bursts of the volcano in the past
have been felt in several parts of
italy, and of late close inpropinqui-
ty to the mountain. The authorities
of Naples are keeping close wat ,h
for signs of increasing danger, and
visitors have been warned not to
approach too near the crater and to
avoid the path of the lava. Since
the death of a Brazilian journalists
a few days ago by falling into the
crater travellers have shown morbid
desire to gaze into the pit of molten
lava in which the unfortunate man
disappeared. In such cases, should
another fatal accident occur, the
guide, the perfect of police stated,
will be prosecuted. 1t is the opinion
of italian scientists that the earth
quake is that affecting the peninsula
will increase IN violence until Vesu.
vius breaks out in serious eruption
and that then the earthquake vista
tions will for the present subside.

THE MATTER SETTLED.
North Carolina Gets the Direct Tax
Refund.

A special from Washington says:
The investigation instituted by First
Comptroller Mathews has resulted in
the discovery that the State of North
Carolina is entitled to 1862 more
than was originally allowed it on ac-
count of the direct tax act. The
mistake was the result of an error
in calculation made nearly twenty
years ago when the question of the
refund of this tax was first consider
ed by Congress. A committee report
was prepared giving the amount each
State would receive through such
legislation. According to this report,
which until now has never been cor
rected, North Carolina was given a
credit of $377 ,S3643 and about
month ago the claim of the Governor
of the State for that amount was
allowed by the accounting officers.
At that time, however, one of the
clerks in the Fifth Auditors office,
where accounts are kept, reported
that part of the tax collected from
individuals had apparently been
omitted in the settlement of the case.
An investigation showed this to be
true and that the States proper
quota was $4O4, ,O54. Judge Matthews
says steps will be taken to pay the
balance as soon as the necessary for
malities shall have been complied
with.

incline probably to McMillin which
gives him his chance for election.
Senator NJ. w. Ransom, arrived at
the Metropolitan last evening He
is here on business in connection
with the collection of the direct tax.
Speaking of this matter, Senator
Ransom said the legislature of North
Carolina was in session when the di-
rect tax bill passed Congress, and it
at once passed law ordering it re-
turned to those who paid it, or their
heirs, if the original parties were
dead. 81 really know nothing of
politics." said the Senator. 81 have
been living a retired life on my
farm, and have stunned politics.
There is little afoat in political mat
tsrs, and what our State will do in
the Presidential matter cannot say.
Mr.. F. H.-Busbee, of Raleigh, N.
c., attorney for the State in the col
lection of the direct taxes, who has
been at the Metropolitan for day
or two, left Thursday for his home.
When asked about the politics of
the State, Mr.. Busbee said that this
being an off year, there was nothing
to excite the people to politics. ''The
Alliance" he said, sis doing little
save remaining in a menacing atti-
tude toward the Democrats because
they won't adopt their sub-treasury
plan. AS far as the Presidential
question is concerned it may be said
that Cleveland is unpopular with the
leaders, but is popular with the rank
and file, save that his silver letter
weakened him in that respect. There
is one thing certain, however, that if
Cleveland is not nominated it will
not be Hill. In this event it will be,
in my judgment, a Western man,
When asked what Western man he
| considered as possible Presidential
candidate, Mr.. Busbee said the re-
suits in Ohio and Iowa would largely
regulate that matter. 1t seemed
now that Campbell would be defeat
| ed in Ohio, and the chances We're
that Gov. Boies would be successful
| in Iowa. In this event Gov. Boies
would bean undoubted Presidential
quantity of prominence, provided,
of course, that neither Cleveland
| nor Hill was successful.

that you have done me the honor to
ask me:
1. The attributes of perfect man.
hood are calmness and force.
2. My ideal is perfect tranquility
of spirit.
3. The best types, morally, are the
women Of acute sensibility and the
man of great activity; physically,
the Anglo-Saxon type is best.
4. My ideal ofa cultured man is
he who knows many thing, but does
not show it.
5. The qualities of character that
should be cultivated are will, sensi-
bility and sincerity.
Egotism and vain curiosity must
be repressed.
Z. The cardinal point to be insis-
ted upon for development in the
coming man is the developing of his
muscular system.
3. We know too little of America
to say what point must be urged fol
awakening the higher intelligence O
the young American.
8. The best counsel for the young
man of today is not to reflect toe
much before acting

nature is good faith.

CHARLOTTE'S FINANCES.

OF Charlotte. A city hall is going up
at the rate of 81 900 expense per
week. The streets are costing $500
per week, and we are told that there
are only $4,000 in sight between
now and November. A proposition
to issue $4,000 bonds was defeated
by the Board of Aldermen on Mon
day, and there is also opposition to
the borrowing of money. The Board
of Aldermen had just as well fall in

sands of dollars, acquired by a life
time of miserly frugality. But one
child of William kottinger was pres
sent at the death.
When the old man in his death
throes raised himself in bed, the son
rushed to his side. His father, mis-
taking the act, with a frenzied yell
waived him back and clutching at
the bed clothes, pulled them back,
disclosing a quantity of gold coin,
He made a grab at it with both
hands, and with the bright pieces in
his fingers fell back and expired.
Professor Kottinger was once n
doctor in Heidelberg University, and
was ninety years old. He was so
wasted 10y hunger and want that
his body weighed less than forty
pounds, and was in a disgusting
condition.

French Capitalists Invest in America.

A Chicago special says: Albert
Verillion and c. Bourbon, French
mining engineers, are in the city en-
route to Utah. Mr.. Bourbon said
that while the English had invested
much capital in this country, French
capitalists had been rather shy of
initiating their examples. They were
now becoming convinced, however,
that it would be good thing to do,
and large amounts of French capital
we're ready for investment here as
soon as the possessors Of it were con-
yinced TINT their money would be
safely placed. To this end, Mr..
Bourbon added. himself and compan-
ion were going to Utah and Colorado
to inspect certain well known mining
properties, They would make re-
ports on them which could be relied
upon the Bourse. This was made
necessary by the numerous wildcat
reports which have been spread
abroad in Paris about American en-
terprises.
