There are nearly as many local
weeklles as there are counties, and
to this may be attributed the limited
circulation of them all. The week
lies issued from daily Offices are
scarcely worth considering for the
same reason. Among these local
papers the Statesville Landmark

coupled with the Morganton Herald
Winston Republican, Shelby Aurora ,
and the Mt. Airy News, forms Il com
blnatlon that cannot be excelled. In
the central section the Raleigh n. G..

CATCHING SANTA CLAUS.

one damp rainy morning. when Christmas was
near,
4 shout from my nursery fell on my ear;
There romping and playing in merriest glee.
Was the happiest group you ever did see
There were Harry and Julia, Lucy and May,
To say nothing of Puss and her kittens, or Tray;
When opened the doors, such sight met my view
wish could paint it and show it TO you.
The little ones there all armed with long sticks,
We're poking and prying high up in the bricks
ofthe chimney-because they said that they knew
Santa Claus was up there; they declared it was true
For while they were playing and dancing about,
The SCOT and the ashes came tumbling out
Twas Santa Claus peeping, to see them at play
And knocking it down as he scrambled away!
eAnd. o mother =, cried Lucy, (the baby was she,)
81 saw him as plain-o, as plain as could be!
saw him. know it; saw his big foot,
= And twas covered all over with ashes and SCOT;
And if sister had only caught hold of it quick
We'd have pulled him right down here, our dear old
ST. Nick!
We never would hurt him, but treat him SO good,
And wash his face clean, and give him some food
And we wouldn't put any bad soap in his eyes,
And he should have half of my cakes and my pies ;
And he'd give me doll with bright yellow hair,
And rabbit and cat and big candy pear
Oh! mamma do just call him knew hes up
therew
babe them be patient-in time he'd be here,
With his bag and his sleigh and his tiny reindeer
And the stockings of good little children he'd stuff
With candies and toys till they cried out Enough
But to bad ones, who cried quarrelled or fought
A bundle of switches was all that he brought.
And specially begged for the sake of my floor,
That they'd throw away sticks, and modest him no
more,
But let him stay quietly, just where he pleased
That the more he would give them the less he was
teased

VIEWS OF MIR. VOORHEES,.
The Senator Not in Favor of Tariff
Work Now.

Ny position said Mr.. Voorhees,,
chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,
with respect to further tariff Legislation,
must be determined by the question of
revenue for the Government. The public
credit must be upheld at all hazards, and
without resort to the continued sale of
bonds and the increase of the national
debt. would be glad, of course, to have
sugar, coal and iron, and, indeed, all other
raw materials. free from tariff taxation, if
such thing were possible, but in the pres
ent condition of the Treasury who will
dare to enter upon legislation making
still greater deficiency in the public rev.
enues?
'sThe bill as it passed the Senate, and
became law, provided beyond all question
sufficient amount of revenue, and the
only reason why deficiency exists in the
Treasury srises from the fact that many of
Its important provisions, the income tax
among others, have not yet gone into OPP
Grafton Their postponement was made
necessary by the opponents of the bill
THE law as it now stands, +" Mr.. Voor-
hees continued, should have fair, prac-
teal test before any further agitation takes
place on the subject of the tariff Amend
ments, found by experience to be necessary,
may here and there be made, but to enter
upon another general revision or to inaug-
urate at this time discussion which would
inevitably lead to such result, would in
my judgment, be exceedingly unwise and
hurtful to the public interests, as well as
to the reviving business of the country.
The duty left on coal and iron is so insig-
nifcant in amount that it does not mate
rally affect the revenues of the Govern
nent, or prices to consumers
Touching the sugar question, Mr.. Voor-
hees said so far as sugar is concerned
the question is different. The Secretary
of the Treasury finds the moderate duty
placed on sugar to be absolutely necessary
to the revenues Of the Government, and
he has found no substitute on which to rely
in place of sugar. For the present at least
this sourse of revenue cannot be disturbed.
1t is pleasure in this connection, however,
to know that the price of sugar to the con-
sumner has gone down instead of up, under
the existing law ever since its enactment,
plainly owing to the repeal of the wretched
bounty tax, and the extinction Of three
fourths Of the tax of the trust, .

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE.
Volcanic Eruptions in the New He
brides Islands.

VICTORIA, B., C. Dec. 13.-The Aus
tralian steamer WarimOo, which arrived
Yesterday, brings startling news that ma
iority of the islands of the New Hebrides
group are passing through a baptism of fire,
earthquakes and volcanic disturbances,
threatening the very existence of several
of the largest and best islands, including
Ambrym. celebrated for the excellence Of
its coffee On the latter an entire village
of natives was recently carried into the sea,
the loss of life being estimated at sixty to
seventy-fve men, women and children,
while in Others of the group fatalities are
also reported.
A layer of ashes from two to six inches
deep covers the once fertile fields. At Epi
ON November there was a. severe earth
quake in the early morning, which opened
an entire volcanic crater on the west side
Of Ambrym and on the next day the whole
island trembled. Since then it has opened
in FIVE or six different places. Even the
island of Epi which was much less affected
had. up to the 9TH of November, felt sixty
three distinct shocks and for weeks had
been covered by clouds of ashes and smoke.
Natives from all the volcanic islands were
1ocking to the centres of civilization for
safety
COMMANDMENTS Chief Admiral Bowden
Smith has given the press the following re-
port made to him by the commander Of the
Dart While we were lying at Dip Point,
Ambrym Island, he writes, IAN eruption
on that island took place. 1t presently
became evident that lava stream, marked
by dense column of smoke, was making
its way through the hills to the sea. The
ship was stopped some 300 yards off shore
where it was seen the stream would emerge,
and soon afterward tongues of flames were
seen among the trees, and presently the
head of the stream appeared red-hot
mass, with Jumps of Stag tossing about on
the surface.
'When it reached the water a most
magnificent sight ensued A dense pillar
of steam rose rapidly, in perpendicular
direction, to height of about 4, 500 feet.
A few seconds later violent submarine ex-
plosions of steam took place, the water ris
ing in huge bubbles some one hundred feet
high and bursting in all directions in radiat
ing tongues of water, mixed with black
masses, presumably of lava. A consider
able swell was sent out afterwards, and, as
the arc of explosions seemed to be extend
ing rapidly, the ship was moved to a safer
distance.
''The next day the Dart went to the south
side of the island, and while rounding Dip
Point sudden outburst, accompanied by
continuous violent explosions, took place.
About two miles to the southwest of Mis-
sion Station the cliffs were seen to be fall
ing inland and flames appeared over the
crest of the gap between the mission. The
natives were assembled in terrified groups
on the beach, and accordingly sent boats
in, offering to take off all that wished to
come. The group was in state of terror
and the noise of the eruption was indescri-
bable Dust and debris from the burning
brush fell continually Throughout the
next day earthquake shocks were severe.

We unhesitatingly invite thorough investi-
cation through capable mediums feeling posi-
lively assured of the justification of our
opinions acquired by the enormous expendi-
lures of money. If rich ore bodies now sup
posed to exist are encountered as anticipated,
all shares will be Immediately Withdrawn
without notice, from the market. The Victor
Companys various properties are designated
as follows: The Victor Consolidated, the
Victor Consolidated No. 2, the Calhoun,
Calhoun No. and Calhoun No. 4. The two
Victors are located in the south slope of
Squaw mountain, in the immediate locality of
many of the greatest and richest regular pro-
ducers in the district. In addition to this the
Company have obtained with great difficulty
longtime working leases on adjoining proper
ties, thereby advancing the possibilities of our
organization practically to an unlimited ex-
tent While the present value Of our proper
ties might be considered by the uniformed
partially speculative, few, however familiar
with this especial locality or reliable mining
enterprises of this class, would not hesitate to
consider it other than conservative and safe
mining investment Of the highest order. We
are assured that subsequent development will
demonstrate this.
