On yesterday, Mr.. Cyrus Murphy,
L. S. Commissioner for Cumber-
land county, State of North Carol
ina, in the town of Fayetteville.
Organized his court to try the case
of election contest of Cyrus Thorn
pson vs.. John G. Shaw. The case
opened before 10 o'clock q. m. and at
fifteen minutes past s o'clock p. IN.
the first witness, Mr.. A. J. Deal was
still testifying, how much longer he
was questioned, am at this writing
unable to say, as left for home.
DO all you can CONSTANT with the
teachings of the word of God and
the Constitution of the State of
North Carolina to have a delegation
of three sent from the General AS
sembly, to attend this court, for the
purpose of getting all the informa-
ton possible, that q proper report
may be made as touching this i'm
portant case, which if done, will Sc
cure TO TINS State, an election law,
so honest in its make up, that we will
never have such another fraudulent
election, as the one held on the 9Th
day of November 1894. Never has
such another case as the one now
pending, which is a disgrace-or
should be to any people who processes
to be enlightened by the teaching of
Gods word.
Our young men should have law
so honest and strong, that they will
be saved from all corrupting influence
of dishonest politicians in and out of
our church denominations. 1t is
difficult for the young to feel that
gray haired men are corrupt.

ANswER.-The peppermint crop of
the United States is mainly grown
around Lyons, N. Y, on black
swamp land. The crop was former
ly profitable when they could get
$500 per pound for the oil, but the
price is now about one dollar, which
is about the same as five cent cotton.
The New York growers supply all
the demand, and there is no room
for any enlargement Of the market.
There is no market anywhere for the
PEPPERMINT. The growers make the
oil, and sell it in that shape.

Liberia, in Africa, has neither clock
nor timcpiece of any sort; the reckoning
of time is made entirely by the move
ment and position OF the sun, which rises
at 6 a. m. and sets at 6 D.. m. almost 20
the minute the year round, and at noon
it is vertically overhead. The island
ers of the South Pacific have no clocks.
but make a curious time-marker OF
their own. They take the kernels from
the nuts of the candle-tree and wash
and string them onto the rib of a palm
leaf. The first or top kernel is then
lighted. All Of the kernels are of the
same size and substance, and each will
burn a certain number of minutes, and
then set fire to the n next below.
The natives tie pieces of black cloth ct
regular intervals along the string to
mark the divisions Of time. Among the
natives of Singar, in the Malay archi-
pelago, another peculiar device is used.
Two bottles are placed neck and neck,
and sand is put in one of them, which
pours itself into the other one every
half hour, when the bottles are re-
versed. There is a line neal by, also,
on which are hung twelve rods, marked
with notches from n to twelve. a
regularly appointed keeper attends to
the bottles and rods, and sounds the
hour upon a gong.-Tit-bits.

With All His Worldly Goods.

l Shall never forget, said an old
clergyman recently, the first marriage
ceremony | ever performed. I was
newly ordained and newly married, and
was On my wedding journey in the
southern states. We had stopped to
visit some relatives Of my wife, when
one of the servants, learning that was
a clergyman, thought it a good oppor-
tunity for wedding the man of her
choice. The service was to be per-
formed at the residence of the groom, a
tiny cabin not far away from the house,
and my young wife, with a bevy of girl
friends, went along ~ostensibly to act
as witnesses, but really to see the fun.
Matters went on smoothly enough I'M
til the bridegroom struck the sentence,
And with my worldly goods 1 thee
endoW," when it occurred to him that
it would probably be more business
like to enumerate the items. Starting
in with dis yer cabin Ell de ba'an," he
went through with a list Of all his pos
sessions, refreshing his memory from
time to time with rapid glances around
the rooom to make sure that nothing
had been omitted. He finally wound
up breathless on the three pieces c"
hawg meat and de mewl," leaving ne
with my place in the prayer-book lost
and my mental faculties in a state CT
chaos. The girls had long before fed
from the cabin, p%rudently distressing
their mowers of SaI~f-cGntrol so fin
ished up as best [ could and followed
them. l have never married a couple
since without a slight nervousness as

ored friend and enumerate his worldly
goods in the middle Of the ceremony,

To Have beautiful Hair.

Sara III. Henton gives a bit of tes-
timony on the care of the hair, which
should be needed by the opposite sex as
well:
The most beautifully kept hair 1 ever
saw was that of two young school girls.
They had their hair washed every
week during the summer time, and
every other week during the winter
time. They used nothing but tepid
water with pure soap, then rinse in
warm water, rubbing briskly, then
dried quickly. They never took cold;
in fact, they said they never had been
quite free from colds until they began
to be systematic in regard to washing
their heads; that their scalps used to
be SO tender they would get sore if they
combed or brushed them too hard. They
kept the skin Of their heads as white
and clean as could be, and their hair
grew thick and long. Never use am
monia or borax. A little salt is good
to strengthen the roots, but plenty OF
brushing, without using a fine tooth
comb. and following the method de-
scribed, is sufficient to make your hair
healthy and lovely. 1 have tried it.

Excellent Advice,

A young man just starting upon his
work in the ministry was n day
talking to an aged minister in London,
who had spent a lifetime in the SER
vice. The young man said:
You have had a great deal of exper-
fence; you know many things that I
ought to learn. Can't you give me some
advice to carry with me in my new
duties?''
Yes, 1 can" was the response. 81
will give you a piece of advice. You
know that in every town in England.
no matter how small, in every village
or hamlet, though it be hidden in the
folds of the mountain or wrapped
round by the far-off sea, in every clumn
of farmhouses, you can find a road
which, If you follow it, will take Won IN
London. Just so every text which Won
shall choose to preach from in the
Bible will have a road that leads IN
Jesus. Be sure you find that road and
follow it; be careful not to miss IL
once. This is my advice to you.

The Art of Forgetting.

A lady, whose life in a certain we'll
know educational institution has not
been without it's trials and vexations,
was talking about her experience to
her friends at home.
Are all the people at the institute so
lovely?" asked a listener.
With a bright smile she answered:
Somehow I remember the pleasant
things and forget the others"
No doubt this was, in part, an ac-
quired grace. Is it not well worth cul-
tivating, if only for our own peace OF
mind?

The pantry and the kitchen Of the

She was telling another guest, a lady

Of beetles that infested the food

"Oh, my dear, don't talk to me of in
sects. In this lovely country you have
very few. In Brazil, where l come
from, and other parts of South Amer
lea, they are numerous. They are of
all sorts, and the name of every sort
is legion. A friend Of mine who lives
at Columbia, on the Upper Paraguay,
tells me that the cockroaches there are
so many and so bold that it is next to
impossible to get rid of them. They
are everywhere, end they are at work
at all hours of the t~wenty-four. At
night they war; over the beds and
bite any part of the person that is ex-
posed. They attack children especial
ly, because these are tender and sleep
SO soundly that they are not awakened
by the marauders. They eat even the
eyelashes of the young, and, as they
bite i~rregularly, you may see a girl or
a boy with Il eye-lash long, black
and beautiful, and with the other bitten
partly off; this hair cut to the root, n
other n taken off midway, and so on"
