A NEWS item is going the rounds
1t farmer in Watauga county
recently sold a walnut tree on his
premises for $500. This valuable.
wood is yearly growing scarcer while
the demand is annually increasing,
and if something is not done to pro-
pagate its growth it will not be
many years before furniture, &c.,
made entirely or in part of walnut
will be beyond the reach of any ex-
cept the wealthiest people. Any man
who desires to provide patrimony
for his children could easily do so by
putting ont few acres in walnut
trees. A few dollars thus expended
would yield thousands twenty-five
or thirty years hence.

and the fight against it was carried
into the Legislature. So persistent
we're its enemies that it was with
difficulty that any appropriation
was secured, and the meagre amount
that was appropriated was rushed
through at almost the close of the
session. The present situation of
affairs at James City, near Newbern,
ought to be sufficient to demon
strate to every one the Importance
of a well-equipped and properly
maintained State militia.
What would have been the result
at James City had there been no
State troops at the command Of the
Governor it needs no prophet to tell.
The civil authorities had been defied
and any sheriff's posse would no
doubt have been met with armed re-
sistance. War aud bloodshed would
have followed, possibly with victory,
for a time at least, for the negroes.
The presence of a few companies OF
citizen soldiery, with the knowledge
that they could be largely reinforced
within a few hours had the effect to
disarm resistance and secure obedi-
ence to the law. The very fact that
a competent and we'll disciplined
force is constantly at the command
of the Governor carries with it a feel
ing of security to law-abiding and
peace loving citizens, and at the
same time is a check upon the law

realize more fully than did the last

ed for 1t is to be regretted that the

penuriousness, but it will serve as a
wholesome lesson to it's successors.

A VANDAL FOILED.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Ste al the
Ashes of Columbus.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Herald of
Saturday morning has the following:
An unsuccessful attempt to steal
Christopher Columbus ashes was
made last evening. The glass COB
tanning them was broken and the
priceless remains lifted from their
resting place by an unknown thief,
whose presence desecrated the sacred
Convent la RObida at Jackson Park.
The ashes were carried from the
dark corner to the light of a window
and carefully examined that no mis-
take might be made, but the delay for
examination proved disastrous to the
purpose of the vandal and saved to the
exposition and to posterity all that is
left of the mortal remains of the
great explorer and benefactor.
