How to Prevent Panscs.

If in addition to the fe ars OF the
depositorsi n the broken banks of
the country there were an y reason
to fear that the note hold ers would
also lose their money the dimens
sions of the existing panic would
be wofully enlarged. 1t is because
the pote-holders are protected by
the United States Government,
and every national bank note has
Uncle Sam standing behind it that
there is now unprecedented distress
amongst the people everywhere.
The reader can scarcely imagine
the deplorable condition of things
which would exist in this country
now if there were no bank notes
except those issued by State banks,
and no currency except "homingo
currency.
Recollect that the Constitution of
the United States provides that
no State shall make anything but
gold and silver a legal tender for
debt, and then imagine the ma.
tionai bank system, under which,
If it should be the same as the in-,
dependent bank system of ante
bellum days, the State banks
would issue notes not merely upon
90 per cent. of deposited bonds,
bat upon their debts. They would
issue 100000 of their own notes
for every real dollar--gold or sis
ver-they might have in their
vaulta; and the inevitable conse-
quenee would be that ia such
crisis as the present "nnmercifnl
disaster" would sfollow fast and
faster" until every bank in the
land wonld become an object OIL

way are heralded IN the most sensa.
tional manner by many public joura
nails, and every possible aid thus
given to gamblers whose profession
is to cheas honest investors by the
depression of values.
Sensationalism would be harm
les. beyond the contempt it inr
vites upon its authors, but for the
cowardice that shrivels up,common
sense with many who have money.
The best of dividend paying stocks
are now purchasable at the lowest
rates for yeare; but the cowardice
that is cherished by thousands
makes them hoard their money.
They draw it out Of banks and
lock it up in boxes. They Know
that the banks are safe, but others
are afflicted with cowardice and
lock up their money, and they do
it without reasoning on the subject.
By and by. when the securi~
ties they could buy to-day at the
lowest prices shall have advanced
twenty, thirty or forty per cent,
they will rush in and make invests
ments; and when the banks and
business public will have no need
for their surplus money, they will
unlock their boxes and deposit it
again.
Cowardice lie the root Of all our
financial troubles to-day. There
is no reason for distrust and least
of all for panic. The shipment of
gold has ceased; our exports OF
breadstuff have been the largest
within the last six weeks of any
like period in the past; there is
abundance of money 10 the
country for al legitimate wante;
the people of all business chan-
nels, outside of the petty silver
States, are more solidly solvent
than at any lime in the last decade,
and wardIce alone halts the re,
turn to honest values and general
prosperity. Let sensaionalism and
cowardice be sent to the rear;
let US trust our conntry, our gov
ernment and ourselves, and PROS
perity will be speedily restored.

WHAT THEY THINK
Views of Southern and Western Gov
ernors and Senators on important
Questions.

S0SSttOuS.
New YoKK, July 21.-The
World prints the replies it has re-
ceived in response tc its teleeraphic
request sent to Governors and
United States Senators of every
State south of Mason and D;xon's
line and west of the Mississippi
river, for a statement Of their views
upon the three questions, VIZ: /.
Whether or not they favor the res
peal OF the Sherman law. 2. What
measure should be substituted for
the Sherman law, if they do not
favor its unconditional repeal. 3
Whether Or not the extra session of
Congress should enact tariff Iegisla-
tion.
Replies We're not received TO all
the queries, because many OF the
gents were taking their vacations
at places beyond telegraphic COM
munication, but so far as they have
been heard from not single South
ern or Western Governor or United
States Senator favors the Sherman
law out and out. Some of the
Soutberners favor it's unconditiona al
repeal; all are willing and many
anxious that it should be repealed
conditionally, but they do not
agree as to what should be subeti-
tuted for it.
Nearly all the Western and some
OF the Southern statesmen favor
the absolute free coinage of silver.
Several of them refer vaguely to a
gold conspiracy, aud others cons
denim the "crime of '73 when eil-
yer was demonetized." Even the
Sherman law is said by some to
have degraded silver, and to have
made necessary the rehabilitation
of the white metal aa money.
Several Of the replies, from Re-
publicans as we'll as Democrats,
favor tariff legislation by the
special session, but most OF them
say the tariff question has been
dwarfed by the financial problem.
and ought to be left alone until
Congress meets In regular session.
Senator Coke, OF Texas, however,
think Congress could and should
deal with both questions at once.

CRY OF DESIRE .

Yet one lay to the love, long. deep and
sweet,
That heartens as it hears,
Before the worn tones falter, for py feet
Are in the vale of years.
And the night cometh, in whose realm
of ice
tSo the sad Hebrew said)
Is found no kindly labor, NJ device
Of warm heart, pondering head.
I would to God had your faith firm
set,
That seems almost to know
1t is but just moment to forget,
Then wake the boundless glow
Ola new daybreak in new heavens to
see,
Ger new earth outrnll;
And feel flash of continuity
Comfort the perSonal soul.
The beauty, wo der, freshness, youth
and might
{ the still world, the sea,
Lyrics of dawn, the splendors of the
night,
The breath of mountain free:
The music of the river as 1t glides
Cleaning thru meadowy lands,
The virgin passion that erchants and
guides,
Shadows these are, perchance, pale
shadows cold,
If glimmeringly fair,
Mists that shall melt to morls of burn
ing gold,
surely, some time, somewhere
And every sweet deep tlceting mortal
thing
Height end and enless bes
ALI then the clouded grave would have
no sting,
Death would mean victory!

ANOTHER DIVIDEND.
of the Fl. & N. G. r. r. in Session in
this City Yesterday.

ton of President Chadwick, declared
a Q per cent. dividend on the entire

was The marvel Of tie year, because
Il is road which had been operated
for 33 years, under passing admins
trations, of more or less business sa-
sagac,tg and thrifty times, had
never before declared dividend
aud all hope of its ever declaring
one under State management had
long since ypniehed from the minds
Of ev-n the most sanguine. But
there it was-a DIVIDEND OF
Q per ceot: and il took $780,
900 in round numbers to pay
it, leaving. however, still $4,000 in
the treasury of the company
this after buying and paying cash
for Two fine new locomotives, two
new first class passenger cars, a
superb parlor chair car, twenty
freight cars. and many other cub
stantial improvements and all the
floating indebtedness Of the road
handed down from former admins
strations.
Thursday, in SESSION in this city,
President Chadwick presiding, the
Board Of Directors found from
his annual rapport, sufficient funds
in the trea5ury,fr from the years earn"
ings of the road under his manages
ment, to declare another dividend OF
2 per cent payable on and after Sep
tembar lst, to all stockholders OF
record August lst; which Will re-
suit in another $26, to the State
treasury, besides taxes paid to it by
the above road, and will still leave
a surplus, this yea, of over $4,000
in the treasury Of the road.
These facts carry their own CONS
ment and should silence every
tongue that would utter a word
of disparagement against an ad-
ministration that has resulted SO
beneficially to the private stock
holders and to the State.

Satan Does Take Vacation

We note in several of our cons
4emporaries. the headline "Satan
takes no vacation" The meaning
of this headline is that it is over
the names of a long list of clergy
men who will b. absent from the
cites during the summer months
Orr esteemed brother OF the eds
itorial all~powerful pen expresses
the hope that "the absentee clergy,
man have made an arrangement
with Satan to keep still during
their vacation"
This is alarming but overdrawn.
Something can be said on the
Minister'S side. La the first place
if he stays in the city, he breaches
to empty benches.
In the second place. be needs
rest, trsh air, and recreation to fl
himself for a continued fight on
the arch enemy.
In the third place, the facts
show that Satan does take a vacas
ton, that, according to all enews-
paper reports, he, too, spends his
time attashionable summer resorts.
The minister should be at such
places to fight him.
In some instances city ministers
succeed in swapping their pulpits
with country ministers. The city
minister gets a change and his
rural brother gets change.
LII these exchanges were more fre-
quent they would be advantageous
all around.
The country preacher would
learn that the city people are not
made of gold, that they do live at
ease and plenty,and are not all ex-
empt from sorrow and privations.
as many country men suppose.
Satan is spending his vacation in
the country men suppose. Satan
is spending his vacation ID the
country when such ideas prevail
The city preacher would learn
that all farmers are discontented,
lazy and actical, are errons
eone. Satan is getting in his best
work in the city when that notion
prevails.
In short, Satan himself probably
fancies this head-line to the effect
that "Satan takes no Vacation"

A SAD SIGHT.
"A Drunken Father Leaves His Wire

a Drunken Father Leaves His Mfe
and Children Among Strangers to go
After Drink.
A sad sight was witnessed by
MANY at the Trade street station
last night. Among the passengers
who arrived on the Charlotte, Co
lumbia and Augusta train was
family of cotton mill operatives
The family consisted OF father,
mother and two little children.
They were moving from Chester to
Concord, where they expected to
get work at one of the factories.
The mother was poorly clad IN a
torn calico dress and the little
children were bare-footed, pale,
aud they, too, were in rags. The
husband and father was scarcely
able to stand up and as soon as he
reached Charlotte he started up
t1wn to get more wbiskey. As be
turned the corner by the ladies' re-
ception room, his wife caught him
b. the arm and begged him to
stay with them and not come up to
the barsroom, as she was afraid
they would get left. The train
was then almost ready to start. He
insisted on going and pulled away
from his wife and staggered along
up West Trade street.
The O6serUer reporter was anx :
ious to see the outcome of the pro-
ceeding, SO waited until the Richs
Enond & Danville train pulled out.
The husband did not return at all
and the mother and her two little
children went back to the rscep-
fio1 room to wait tor the drunken
man. AS the reporter neared the
postGfice building the man came
staggering down the street and
asked OF a stranger how long be
fore the train lett. When informed
thst it had gone he turned and
went back up the street, leaving
his wife and children alone in the
waiting room, where they were
obliged to remain until the 3:45
O'Clock train this morning.-ChG~s

THE HOT WAVE.
Philadelphia Times.

The temperature has been uns
usually Oppressive for several days,
and there is no promise OF relief
from the hot wave until after the
mi de of the week. No only has
the mercury ranged along in the
nineties, but the humidity has been
almost sitting at times.
There is only one way toget. along
with hot wave, and that is to subs
nit to it as philosophically as pos-
sib:e. All worry only intenslfies
the oppreesiveness Of the heat, and
eEcesise use OF either ice water or
other cooling drinks supply add to
the oppressiveness of the hot
spell.
Special care should be exercised
in diet wien the heat is unusually
sever. This is the season for esrly
fruits, few of which are wholesome
at besf. They should be scrupu :
lousy avoided by all and should
be perem ptorily forbidden to chils
dren. 10 little while there will be
plenty Of good fruit in the mars
kets, and when ripe and fresh it
is an important part of summer
diet.
Meats 81 ouId be used sparingly
during hot weather, and all but
hardswcrlsing people would be
quite as we'll without any. Veget.
ables are abundant and wholesome
when fresh; but stale, unripe or i'm
perfect fruit, carry q large snpply
of summercomplaints with unpleas
ant suggestions of cholera.
While the hot wave lasts all
thould avoid needless exposure to
he sun, and those who must be ex>
posed to it should protect their
heads By damp linen cloths. Ex-
posure to the sun is not in itself as
dangerous as excessive labor and
exhaustion. What are called sun
strokes sometimes come at night
when there is severe physical and
nervous prostration.
What is most needed when the
hot waves come is plenty of CONS
mon sense and philosophy. Keep
cool in temper and it will greatly

Ali is not lost, though much is changed

Though tanned the eager torrent of

And sobered, dashed, or dead the homes

The morning hills of time with magic

The calm, the charity, the JUG gment

A MISSING BARK MAKES PORT
The Stella Belmarco Turns Up Afte,
Her Insurance Had Been Paid.

Her Insurance Had Been Paid.
O.d seafarers, ship chambers
brokers and merchants scratched
their heads and looked blankly al
each other on the floor Of the Mari
time Exchange when the notice
was posted yesterday that the long.
givensup-for-lost bark Stella Bel
marco had reached her port all
right.
The Stella Belmarco, under
command of Captain Beafz, left
Philadelphia, MaYch Is asst, bound
to Santos, Braz''t with a cargo OF
flour. Nothing more was heard OF
her, and last May she was posted
among the missing. The under
writers paid the Insurance and she
was written off the list.
The Stella Belmarco has had an
extraordinary career. She was
formerly the American bark Sans
uel B. Hale, and was built at
Westburg, Me-, in 1870. In 1872,
while on a voyage TO Jamaica, she
was, it was reported, seen to found
ed in a hurricane, that is, she diss
appeared, and was not heard OF
for weeks. One fine morning she
quietly put into St. Michael's un~
der jury masts, having been blown
many miles out of her course.
Another time she was run down
by a steamer eff the banks in a
fog. Some fragments Of wreck
were found on the steamers fore-
castle-~it was 1nman Liner City of
Bussels-and they were identified
as belonging to The SamuetB,
Hale. About three weeks AFTER
wards the Samuel B. Hale put into
Halifax minus her fore and main-
topmasts and bows stove, but she
had survived the shock as if by a
miracle. Old sailors say she is a
charmed ship. like the Flying
Phila. Times.
