A curious box was recently found
amid the ruins Of Pompeii. The box was
marble or alabaster, about 2 inches
square and closely sealed. When opened,
it was found to be full of pomatum or
grease, hard, but very fragrant. The
smell resembled somewhat that of the
roses, but was much more fragrant.

The returns at hand indicate that the
VIII eat crop Of the state this year will be
about Is per cent less than the crop of

ed, show al loss of Is per cent in the south
ern and northern counties, and Of 10 per
cent in the central. The average yield
will fall little IL anything below the
average of long series OF years. With

~ bushels; central counties. 1874 bus
hels; northern counties, 6.13 bushels;
State, Is. So bushels. The average yield
per acre for seventeen years has been as
follows: Southern counties, 1890 bushels;

the southern counties is 9S, central 102,
and State 100, la condition the crop
ranges SO per cent in the southern section
to 81 in the northern. The outlook for

throughout the state. Compared with
average years the increase in the south
ern counties is S per cent: central, II per
cent; northern, 10 per cent, and State 9
per cent. The average condition is high

Heaping Iosult Upon Injury.

At the last term OF the Wake County
IN. CO. Superior Court. at Raleigh, the
following facts appeared: A little half
grown bull was on the railway track.
ing train with below of defiance and q
toss OF gravel over his shoulder. A
tramp who happened to be close behind
him stepped off the track and waited to
see the fun. The engine struck the
little bull fair. doubled him up like a
ball, and sent him twenty-five feet as If
shot from catapult. The bull-ball
made line shot and knocked the tramp
into little goose pond near the road.
When the engineer backed the train to
take stock of the Damage done, the
tramp was crawling up on a log out OF
his Involuntary bath. Under advice Of
counsel learned In the law, action was
brought against the railway corporation
for the personal injuries anu indignity
inflicted. On the trial, to the surprise
and intense disgust of the plaintiff, the
verdict went against him. To sympa-
thizing bystander he placidly remarked
that he had been "bowled over into goose
pond by little doity piney-woods bull,
and that dozen jackasses had kicked
him out OF the court house." -Northwest-

To restore "a 600. 600 Acres.

The house has passed the McRae land
grant forfeiture bill, amending the act
Of Sept. 30, 1890, which in substance
declared the forfeiture to the United
States of lands heretofore granted to
states and corporations to aid in the
construction of railroads to the extent
only of lands opposite and conterminous
with the portions OF such railroads as
were not completed aud operat'd at that
time.
The bill passed extends the forfeiture
TO the portions OF the several railroads
to aid in the construction OF which the
grants were made, which were npcom-
pleted when the time expired within
which the roads were respectively re-
quired to be completed by the several
laws mating the grants.
1t involves portions of the grants of 20
roads, the principal one of which is the
Northern Pacific, and will restore to the
public domain alb nut $4,000 600 acres
proviso was added to the bill so as to
prevent 1T from being construed to for
fei. the right Of way or station grounds
of any company and also confirms to pur-
chasers in good faith from such railroads
to the title Of such lands not in excess of
500 acres to each holder.
An effort was made by Mr.. Hartmann,
Of Montana, to remove the $50 acres lin
tation on purchase titles. but this was
defeated by a vote OF 90 to 3l2.

The special Ironwood correspondent OF
the Copper Country Evening News writes
that paper concerning Ironwood's city
government as follows:
The city government OF Ironwood is a
disgrace to the city and country. AS
three men were returning from work at
the mines yesterday, they were attacked
by mob OF strikers In the city limits and
severely hurt. One man had an arm
broken, and the others were badly pound
ed with cordwood stick. The city ofii-
cials pretended to know nothing OF IT,,
officially, but word was sent to armory
an hour before the affair took place that
1t would happen. The troops had no
authority to act Independently In the mat
ter, and the sheriff knew nothing of it
until 1t was all over.
When spoken to about 1t, the chief-of-
police claimed he could take care of the
city and preserve order. Behold the sam
Pile: He had no official knowledge that
there was mob after the switchmen the
night before either, nor when the mob
gathered in the center OF the city and
marched up the ty the steam shovels and
drove rway the men working there on
July 3rd,
One of the strikers grossly insulted a
switchman at the railroad yards yester-
day noon, and was whipped for so doing.
Within fifteen minutes there were four
policemen after the switchmeD with war
rants for his arrest. 1t depends upon
which side the offence take place In order
to get the police to act.
