We reprint this week from the Char
lotte Observer OF March 18th, an ar.
ticle on the "Negro Scare Of 1881"
The Observer of that Issue said:
"Genera! Barringer favors the pub-
lie through the Observer this morn
ing with 8 singularlY interesting and
valuable Contribution upon oneof the
most Interesting events in North
Carolina and Virginia history--the
"Nat Turner instruction" Of 1881.
The histories Of that time furnish
less information concerning that
tragedy than its gravity deserves,
and comparatively few of our people
know anything OF 1t excepting
through the crude, inaccurate tradi~
tional stories which have been hand
ed down. General Barrin2er has
put on record some important facts
of history"

The Two Hands.

1t is remarkable that with the major
ity OF people the neglected left hand il
not in mere strength inferior TO the
right. We have heard truly right hand
ed people actually declare that their left
hand IS the stronger, and from ths
writer's own experience h knows this
to be the case. This may be from the
mechanical advantage and better bal
ance Of the body, the right side being
heavier, or it may be due to the large
muscles of the unused arm being less
hampered by the development Of other
muscles. 1t is difficult in these cases to
say which is the right" hand, for the
fact that the unused arm is the stronger
does not imply ambidexterity, nor can
we justly give the precedence to strength
over dexterity.
Moreover, we cannot call the hand
that excels in one series of dexterous
motions the superior hand if it can be
shown that the other Is chosen to
perform an act which, apparently tn
fling, may require some knack or nicely
of touch. 1t is the hand put forth in
emergency, when taken by surprise,
that makes a spontaneous gesture. this
hand that acts first, which Is the right"
hand.-London Spectator.

A FRAUDULENT FACE.

A circular 70 der reaches US of town
site scheme, or more properly, probably
a swindle, with list of directors at
Garnett, Kan, and Chicago, H., and
headed Cherokee Colony and Town Site
Company, incorporated under the laws
of the state of Kansas Capital stock,
$3.50, coo" The circular describes the
Cherokee strip accurately as to climate,
resources, ETC., and then announces that
the company is going to lay out the
great city of the strip, in which lots will
be sold for 81, or five for SO. The COM
pany announces that they want thou
sands of laborers and mechanics to join
Cherokee City" No DOUBT. And no
doubt they want thousands to buy lots a t
81 each. 1t is unnecessary to say that
one man has as much right in that strip
as another, which is no right at ali.
The man who sends his money into such
a scheme deserves to lose it.

One Way of Banking.

"What have you got there that's in

SCOT people thatll make more money
in ten minutes doing banking their way
than you'll make your way in tea
years"
How do they do it,"
"Discountin."
eve make something in that line our
selves"
Eyes, s'pose so; but not like them.
By criminy," he went on emphatically,
Il had note for $3.50 the other day l
wanted discounted, and took it to one
of them shavers, and after he had fig
gered about ten minutes he said owed
him $l37."
How did he make that out?" inquired
the puzzled cashier.
That's what l said to him, and he
told me that according to his way Of
calculating the discount on a note like
that, the whole thing would amount to
$151.37, and he was willing TO take the
note if I'd pay the balance in cash. You
amt got any bankin like that in Detroit,
have you;" and the cashier FASTENED to
assure him that Detroit bankers didn't
do business in that way.-Detroit Free
