Gowns which combine two or more pronounced colors often appear at first glance to be divided between the shades In quite different proportions from those which actually exist. Thus China blue silk gown has delicate green silk sleeves covered thickly with yellow lace, and myrtle green points are added where they do not touch the blue yet most observers would say they saw a bright blue dress trimmed with a real dark green.

Judge Grosscup ordered the acquittal of thieving letter carrier on the ground that the decoy letter by which he was caught had not been mailed in good faith, The postoffice inspector placed some marked bills in a letter, put special delivery stamp on it, and gave it to the suspected carrier to de- liver. Finding no person at the num- Der given answering to the name, the carrier pOcketed letter and money.

At Winger, in New south Wales, there is burning mountain. It is l, ,S2O feet in height, and is supposed to be large coal seam which has in some unac- countnble way become ignited, and has been burning for many years, certainly long before the advent of the white man in this portion of the colony. The course of the fire can be traced con- siderable distance by the numerous de- pressions or chasms occasioned by the falling in of the ground from beneath which the coal has been consumed. Smoke is continually issuing from the sides of the mountain, and ill the vicin- ity of these openings the surface is hot, and has dry, parched appearance, while sticks thrust into these openings are readily ignited.

A report comes from Winnipeg, Can ada, that there are great numbers of buffalo still alive ill the northwestern part of that country. They are wood buffalo, but it is said that they are to all appearances the same as the animals which at one time were so numerous on our western plains. It is said that more than 200 of them were killed by the h. dians in the Slave Lake district this sea- son. They are slaughtered for their hides. The question, Where did these wood buffalo so suddenly come from? now naturally suggests itself. The In- dians and traders have long ago given up hope of ever seeing any again. Last winter the weather in this section was unusually severe and thus the animals were driven southward ill search of food, and wandered in the tracks of In- dians.

JUDGE WHITAKER CRITI-
CISED.
IStateSyille Landmark, I

From all accounts there were some
interesting occurrences at Alexander
court last week, and Judge Whitaker,
in accordance with his usual custom,
succeeded in making the Alexander
folks hate him most cordially. Fri
day the foreman of the grand jury
went into the court room with some
presentments. His honor looked at
them and, because the county COM
missioners were not indicted, made
the foremen put all the presentments
save one into the stove. Then he
sent for the other grand jurors-not
outstanding the body had not finished
its Enthusiastically berated them
and told them to go-he had no fur
Their use for them. While this was
going on in the court room some one
went into the grand jury room and
found on the table a presentment
against Judge Whitaker for not being
present to open the court Monday
morning. 1t was afterward learned
that the grand jury had voted unani-
mously to make the presentment, but
whether they would have done so had
they not been SO suddenly and I'M
expectedly discharged, is not positively
known. The news Of the presentment
came to Whitaker's ears and he asked
to see it. 1t was shown him and he
g was heard to remark" that if the
presentment had been brought into
court he would have ordered every
member of the grand jury to Jail.
But it is reported that Sheriff Watts
"was heard to remark" that he would
not have taken them to Jail. Of course
the Judge could have ordered the
sheriff to Jail, but it is not at all prob
able that he would have found any
body in Alexander to execute the
order. However, this contingency did
not arise.

The Opposition to Mr.. Simmons
[Webster's Weeklv.l

AS we stated last week, the charges
filed against Mr.. Simmons are of a
political character and amount to
nothing. He organized the Demo-
cratic party in this State and did all
in his pawer to have the Democratic
hosts registered according to law.
This is the sum and substance of his
offence.
We see that Mr.. Robert M. Furman
in an interview disputes Mr.. Hussey's
statement in regard to the conference
Of Democratic leaders at which the
circular was gotten up. He says
Hussey attended no such meeting, and
his statements are true
The editor of this paper saw Messrs.
Wray and Malloy few days ago and
asked them about the afidavits filed
by them against Mr.. Simmons. They
could not name single instance where
the Republicans were wronged in this
section by reason of said circular.
They have heard that it did harm in
the State at large.
1t is said that Chairman caves, of
the Republican State Committee, sent
out thirty thousand circulars similar to
that issued by Chairman Simmons
calling attention to the requirements
of the law on registration.
The violent opposition of Editor
Hale, of the Fayetteville Observer, is
easily accounted for. Mr.. Hale
wanted to exercise his diplomatic
talents abroad, but Mr.. Quincy, AS
sistant Secretary of State, asked Mr..
Simmons question, and he answered
it. He told Mr.. Quincy he did not
consider Mr.. Hale's services entitled
him to preferment above such men as
w. NJ. Robbins, W. R. Henry and
others.
Now the Clinton convention is
brought forward and Mr.. Simmons is
charged with having managed it badly,
etc. Mr.. Hale complained to the
National Committee in 1892 and
received poor comfort. 1t is said that
the Democratic Club of his own town
endorsed Mr.. Simmons and repudia ted
Editor Hale's attacks.
Mr.. Simmons will be confirmed. /

Keep Money Circulating.
tReidsville Weekly.I


There is valable suggestion in the
following as to making money Of the
best service in these tight times. 1t
is from the Burlington NezUs:
When poor fellow gets a dollar
now it does the work of two or four
paying debts, and tor that reason every
dollar that can be put in circulation
should be kept moving. One day
last week we presented an account to
man here in town for one dollar he
sent us to a man who owed him, we
owed that man, and the account paid
three dollars indebtedness and there
was no money passed, and the first
man to pay got the last credit. And
while writing on this vein we want to
add that every dollar paid in here
pays two dollars Indebtedness that we
know of.
Yes, the moral is: pay the newspa
per; there are no misers among the
editors. They are great on circulating
money

capable OF The exploit OF this lady was
typical OF many Others.
What shall we eat and wherewlthal
shall we be clothed were certainly the
burning questions OF those days. In
the towns, where the refugee women and
children mostly collected, many must
have suffered from hunger. Indeed, how
they subsisted at all, even with the vast
charity which the period called into
being, is a mystery. Those who had the
means took these unfortunates in, giving
them food and shelter for months and
often for years without pay. Still this
left q large residue who had to shift Tor
themselves, having left everything IN
their flight from the approaching
Federals. The few who brought Off
slaves hired them out for the merest
pittance when the purchasing value OF
the money was considered. 4 negro
woman hired out at thirty dollars
month brought it home in the form OF
pound Of very inferior coffee.
House rent was SO high that these
refugees had to resort to the apartment
system, several families living in the
same house and employing a common
cook \ straitened housewife tells how
when meal was measured by the teacup-
full, even sorghum had grown scarce, and
a mental record had to be kept OF the
size Of the sweet potatoes counted out to
the cook, lest someone should exchange
her small tuber for your large one, she
actually saw that functiOnarY on one
occasion rush into the dining-rOOm and
rescue one of these changing vans while
it was in the very act OF being eaten.
Another lady tells how the war news
acted to shape her daily bill of fare.
Whenever Sherman, in his Atlanta
campaign, was reported to have received
a check, the allowance of corn meal,
pease and sorghum was stinted, but when
adverse tidings came she dealt out these
luxuries with a lavish hand, well knowing
that the only way to secure anything
from his followers was to eat it before
their arrival.
Several bread riots occurred among
the working momen; one in Salisbury,
North Carolina, and one or more in
Richmond, Virginia. In one OF them a
commssary officer, accused of dlyertlng
government supplies to his own use, was
ridden on rail by party OF amazons.
The Richmond riot assumed such pro-
portions, the desperate women lOOting
the bakeries and then beginning an
discriminating pillage, that some OF
the government officials recommended
that they be fired on. This advice
President Davis rejected, as he did the
suggestion of clearing the street with
cavalry, and Fastening to the scene,
vainly urged the frenzied mob to dispense:
But not till the fire engines were ordered
out and cold water applied did the
trouble end. DAVID DODGE.

SOUTHERN GRIT.
baltimore Sun.

Less complaint Of the hard times
has been heard from the South during
the last eight or ten months than from
any other part Of the country, but this
is not because the people of that
section have not felt the financial
stringency, but because they have
learned to suffer and be strong, and
silent, too. They are not given to
making an outCry every time they
come to a rough place in the road of
life. For a people who prior to 1860
enjoy an exceptionally easy and
luxurious existence, the manner IN
which they bore the poverty and
privations that followed the war was
amazing in its calm strength and quiet
endurance, and was fully as heroic as
their bearing during that conflict.
The bravery and patience with which
they have since struggled to redeem
their fortunes have been no leess al
mirable, and their progress t"w'rd
prosperity has been noted with heart
felt interest by their friends in other
sections.
This progress would have been mnGh
more rapid but for the checks it has
received from time to time from the
sensational and speculative Schemes OF
unprincipled adventures, VIII" have
endeavored to loot various Localities
by bunco business devices, jn>' i, VAS
done by the political carpet-h1ggerS
after the war. The boom towns and
boom methods which these " business !.
sChemers established and encouraged
were injurious not only because of the
financial losses they occasloned, but
because of the lowered business vitality
that followed them and the temporary
discouragement consequent upon dis
appointed hopes. They are not the
sort of people, however, to sit down
and cry over split milk, and after
every check they have bravely renewed
the fight. They have suffered IN com
mon with the rest of the country
during the last few months, but they
have confronted the situation with
their usual Spartan spirit, and the
improvement which will soon set in
will be felt there probably as early as
in any other part of the country. But
to tell them, as do some of their
pretended friends, that "to starve
awhile is good for the health some,
times is piece of sublime assurance
A famous New York divine, who had
a fat salary and Jared sumptuouSly
every day, was once reported as saying
that working people could live fairly
well on bread and water. In the
same spirit the Southern people are
now told that to starve awhile is good
Tor the health sometimes. As II the
robbcr should say to the man he hac
plundered, "Never mind, my gooc
fellow, you'll feel all the better fol
not eating for 4 few days The
South has too much grit to be Away:
complaining about its troubles, but II
will probably remember with anything
but affection the individuals who tall
SO coolly about starvation being good

The secret of the great success OF the
Cosmopolitan is not so hard to find, if one
looks carefully over the number for Feb
ruary. \ story by Naldes, the famous
Spanish novelist, the first from his pen
to appear in any American magazine,
Is begun in this number. Arthur Sher-
burne Hardy story, GA Rejected Manu-
script is charmingly illustrated by l..
Marold, who we believe makes his first
appearance in the magazines on this side
of the water. \ profusely illustrated
article on the designing and building of
a war-ship appeals to the interest taken
by all in the new navy, and a thrilling
description OF a naval combat under the
significant title: The Meloban and the
Pentheroy' describes, after the manner
of the Battle of Dorking, a possible sea-
fight. the outcome OF which is watched
by the entire naval world. "Glidng
Flight is an interesting contribution to
the problem of aerial navigation by one
who has studied the flight OF soaring
birds in the East for twenty years.

OF the Sioux nation, has some interesting

riors. I. {. Crawford, the Washington
