turns II as an Unknown.

lem Morgue to the effect that the man

Russia, It is added, will not permit any
interference upon the part OF Great Bri-

Railroads vs.. Melon Growers.

The trouble between the railroads
and melon growers is not confined to
South Carolina says the Charleston
News and Courier. Agriculturists OF
Wicomico county, on the eastern shore
of Maryland, arc loud in their COM
plants. The melon growers and the
railway company that carries the mel
ons to market have long quarrelled
over the question of frcights, and the
company has refused to grant what the
growers esteem an essential concession.
Some of the growers sny they will
transport their melons solely by water,
while others will plant no melon seed,
or only enough to yield melons for
home consumption. Wicomico coun,
ty has hitherto been an important mel
on growing district, and its melons
usually come into market hard upon
the heels of tho crop from the Norfolk
region.

Sky-Ldnd!

James r. Randall writes thus Of
Western North Carolina in the March
number of the Southern States maga-
zine, of Baltimore, Md:
And wh.t q valiant exaitation the
:h'll breath of the ozone-ladened breeze
fixes in our blood, and what roses in
our cheeks! How we dominate with
;e.istless stride the pedestrian paths.
Dr how we credit the fable of the
Ceutaur, when, in the fcTvor OF en-
'ircrment, we partake Of the joy and
very existence of the nimble steed we
have hestrode adventurously! In other
climes and with other surroundings we
bave felt lsnguor, or dullness, or
restive incnrecity, hnt here, with the
potent inspiration of the panorama and
the atmosphere, our whole being bounds
with daring briskness and mastering
activity In the overwhelming sense
Of powerful forces put in play, we do
not ask if life be worth living, but
thank God that we are alive and filed
with the alchemy of Sky Land. When
these agencies react and demand the
upbent bow, we lounge, it may be on
the porches of the grand hotel, with
eyes restful upon Pisgah and the en-
ormous petrifaction of the rat that
never budges from its lair. Perchance,
with appetite made robust and un-
ieniable, we attack the toothsome
repast provided, but ever and anon We
glance through the big windows at the
splendid pictures beyond, as if we
were afraid that some stray expression
of the amphitheatre would escape us
unaware. We stroll, happy and sat
istied, to the piazza, and roll in an
easy chair, putting at pipe or cigar,
but never ceasing to confront admir-
ingly the scenes that intoxicated us
from the first. The sun has driven it's
fiery, glowing chariot beyond the vast
barrier of loan and basalt, but left O.
sparkling, glowing, radiant wake be-
hind. The clouds are blushiDg like
traditional brides, and the sorcerer of
the sky has grouped them among shin
lug lakes and islands and witching
perspective that this inimitable artist
alone can fashion and dissolve. You
presently understand how the poet
merely revealed what ne mad seen when
Night dropped her crimson mantle
and pinned it with star. And It was
no exaggeration when the grim Carlyle
bade us witness how Bootes drags his
reluctant dogs in leash of sideresl
fire, or how mailed Orion flames his
plumes mid bright-battalioned planets.
As the mystic dusk robes the familiar
scenery with pail, we hear the insect
world, if it be the proper season, con
versing in thousand tongues, startled
anon by the shril cry Of night bird,
sud possibly we wonder if the momen-
tary shadow on the orb of the moon
was .be vsgraut pinioo of Mioerva's
bird, or the flashing stroke Of the eagle,
put to fight frcm his eyry slumber.
