What They Want.

An official who has given much atten-
ton to the subject is of the opinion that
Russia will never consent to anything that
looks like indefinite occupation of
Corea by Japan, as Great Britain occupies
Egypt, unless she is herself allowed to
take possession of a port in Corea for the
eastern terminus of the Siberian railway.
France is reported to have demanded
coaling station on the Island of Formosa
and Great Britain has reached out for the
Island OF Chusan.

To the Vioe-Presidents of the Con-
federate Monumental Asssocia-
ton of North Carolina.

Our work for the past year has
been crowned with unprecedented sue
cess. SO much so that we have ac-
cumulated a sufficient SUM to deem it
expedient to lay the corner stone of
our monument on the tweuty-second
day of May. We request that all per-
sons in the State holding money for
the Association, will send in the same
before that date, that report may be
made, and we can best determine how
to proceed with our work. Our last
legislature composed of men, whose
noble instincts will engrave their
names in the hearts of all North Caro-
linians as typical representatives Of
Southern manhood, appropriated ten
thousand dollars. which is still bearing
good interest. From the mountains to
the sea-shore the ladies have worked
with zeal, which can only be
thoroughly tested when enlisted in
behalf of the Southern Cause. Many
of the men to whom this monument
will be erected, laid down not onl y
their lives, but names, not a link re-
naming to connect them with the
present, and we trust this monument
will be as the sacred Labarum which
guided the Romans-to show to the
world the pride we felt in Southern
soldiers.

Too Much Woman,

For conscience sake, let US cease
this everlasting prattre about the
present being " woman's century"
and woman's age," implying each
time that we say it that the women of
any previous age were driveling idiots,
and casting a slur upon the very
woman who gave us our being, writes
Edward W. Box in vigorous defense
of the woman of generation ago, in
the Laaies' Home Journal Why is
this woman's century, any more
than was any century before it? Just
because few thousand more women
are engaged in business? Does that
tact make GO woman's century?" We
haven't determined yet, by any means,
whether the present tendency of
woman going into the rougher COM
mercial pursuits is to her interest or to
the benefit of those who will follow
her. A little caution here is a very
good thing. What sense is there in
this constant dingdonging into the
ears of our girls that they are born at
the "dawn Of woman S emancipation"
Emancipation from what? Will this
sort of thing teach our girls to have
greater respect for the women of past
generations? If we keep up this
harangue much longer l shall not
blame our youngest girls if they get
the notion that the world only began
about forty or fifty years ago. If we
expect children to have respect for
their mothers, and their mothers par
ents, we can not enshroud the times in
which they lived with the darkness of
ignorance and bigotry. The women
who lived before the present agitato1s
of the woman's century" were born
did a. thing or two in the worlds
history, far more, venture to prophesy
from their present talk, than the women
OF to-day will do in these latter days
if they pursue their present course.

SOUTHERN FARMING.
In 1860 the South Raised One-Half of
the Agricultural Products of the
United States.

In the second of series of articles
on "The South Before the War;" by
Mr.. Richard H. Edmonds, published
in the April number of the magazine
Southern Stats, of Baltimore, Md,
the following extraordinary presenta-
ton is made:
The total population of the United
States in 1860 was 81 100000, of which
the South had 6,SOO,OOO whites and
100000 negroes Or an aggregate of
10000, 900, just little more than one
third of the total. With only one-third
OF an aggregate population and less than
One-fOurth of the white population the
South raised more than one-half of the
total agricultural products of the
country.

cotton. rice and sugar raised in the
United States-these were all practically
surplus cash crops-but also raised 35S.

the South needed beans,' claiming that
it's lack of knowledge of beans was one OF
the serious hindrances to it's agricultural
advancement. 4 Mississippi editor, s.

reminded Mr.. Atkinson that he had
failed to study Southern agricultural

even before the war, Mississippi alone
raised more beans than all of New

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
ICEristian Register.l

lShAAoVaou lNCSioeCI.i
This is such day of specialties that
comparatively few can ever enter into
the dear old relation that existed
formerly between the physician and
family. Heart secrets and suferings
that the minister could not extract
from burdened souls were poured into
the trustworthy ear of the good doctor,
who ministered to soul quite as much
as to body. His breast was the safe
repository of every man, woman and
child in the parish who needed his
confidence; and to no other human
being did he ever betray these conf
dences. When such man enters the
sick room the burden of anxiety falls
from the mothers heart her child is
safe so long as he is there. 1t seems
as though he had power to Danish the
death angel; or, if indeed that sad
messenger must come, the physician
becomes the sympathetic friend who
gives strength to bear the sorrow.
There is no man in the community
who has more love and respect than
the family physician. AS rule ply
slcians are more permanent residents
than ministers since short pastorates
are now the fashion, so that the pastor
must give up to the doctor the place
of honor which he once held when he
was the cure of two or three successive
generations in the same parish. One
asks with sadness, as the poets pass
away. Who is going to sing the songs
of the future? When the great men
die we ask, Where are they who are
to be the great men of the days to
come? And so, when we see the fam
lily doctor going his rounds, faithful,
generous, devoted, and daily growing
more wise, treadlng his way through
crowded streets that were pasture
lands when he began his practice forty
years ago, we ask with pang at our
hearts, Who can ever take the place of
the beloved physician? Long may he
be spared. And may many of the
young men who are now seeking that
professor for "what there is in it,"
find that the noblest thing there is in
it is the opportunity that it gives for
devotion and self sacrifice, for winning
love and honor, and for saving men
heart and soul as we'll as body. No
profession requires more of a man,
fidelity, purity, wisdom, patience,
hard work, sleepless nights, weary
days; but no profession brings richer
rewards or sweeter benedlctions.

when every household was in great
straits, he endeared himself to the

affairs, it was to him that the people
turned Tor guidance and counsel.
In him they reposed confidence
bestowed on no other man, and year
after year he proved himself more and
more devoted to their welfare. At
last, full of honors, having enjoyed a
long career whose brilliancy surpasses
any other in our annals, he has been
called hence and his place is vacant,
and the people realize the void made
by his departure from their midst and
mourn the loss that can not be re-

VANCE, THE STATESMAN AND ORATOR.
No name has been more prominent,
honored and beloved by the great
masses of this State for more than a
generation than that Of Vance, and
this irrespective of party or color.
The respect and regard in which
Senator Vance has been held by his
people and his State is best seen in
both the many public honors bestowed
upon him and in the social fellowship
by which he gained the good will and
esteem of all with whom he came in
contact. Zebulon B. Vance was
peculiarly man of the people.
His OWE people and his own State
could always feel certain that their
interests were his, and no besitancy
was ever felt in entrusting to his care
anything within the gift Of the people
of his State.
The greatest reason for Senator
Vance's popularity might be said to be
his sociability; no one was too humble
or too great to greet the "Governor"
and share in the brilliant and kindly
wit which was always the charm of his
companionship. Combined with this
sociability which made everyone his
friend at home and abroad, Senator
Vance possessed the abilities Of
statesman and orator that have made
his name famous far beyound his own
State, although some of his greatest
speeches were undoubtedly those
spoken in his own State while sur
rounded by thousands of his friends
and constituents.
1t is not with all the public honors
which will follow the remains of the
great Senator to his grave that will be
seen the greatest tributes to his memory,
but at the thousands of quiet fresdes
throughout the Old North State, where
gather the young, the middle-aged
and the old there with tears of sorrow
will there be mourning, heartfelt and
lasting, which will be lasting monu-
ment to the Governor and Senator,
who gave his experience, labor, ability
and love for those who will ever hold
in their hearts the name of Zebulon B.
Vance in love and reverence South
port Leader.

STATESMAN.

In the death of Senator Vance, the
country has lost one of its greatest
statesmen. He was a conspicuous
figure in Congress nearly forty years.
His record is one that is not often
equaled and rarely, very rarely, ex-
celled.
Perhaps no man in the Senate was
SO popular with his constituents.
Whatever he wanted, North Carolina
was always anxious to give. The
L" mountain boy was the pride of the
State, and we'll did he deserve his
popularity. He was one of the peo-
pie He was honest and fearless in
the discharge of every duty. While
the most popular man in the State, he
did not trim his sails to catch the
popular breeze Whatever legislation
he thought best for his constituents,
he advocated. He did not care
whether it would add to or detract
from his popularity.
A few year ago the Farmers Ali
anCe seemed sure to sweep the State.
1t made demands that his judgment
did not indorse. TO oppose it seemed
certain Geieat-and yet he never
hesitated He followed his convic-
tions, careless of results. He was
elected, because in the affections Of
his people he was stronger than any
platform. He was platform in him
sell,
Senator Vance was the wit of the
Senate This was unfortunate for his
reputation. Men associate solemnity
with greatness where frequently it is a
sign Of dullness. Like S. s. Cox, one
Of the greatest orators and statesmen
this country every produced, Senator
Vance suffered in reputation by permit
ting the brilliancy Of his mind to eclipse
the solidity OF his thought. Men
laughed at his jokes, and felt too tree
and easy with him to accord him the
full measure Of the respect he de-
served.
In that assembIage OF distinguished
men. no man was readier in speech
and none more solid in argument.
North Carolina has lost the creates,
of all her sons, and the Union has lost
a patriot, who was perhaps nearest the
people Of any man in public life
