BURNED IN THE FLAMES.
Damage 10 Farmers and Lun1oermen
by Forest Fires Very Great.

Columbia, n. c., April 28.-( Speeial)
Copious showers having subdued the
fires which have been destroying the
forests of this (TyrrelD county aud
prevented further damage to the for
ests and agricultural lands Of Hyde
county. the casualties and damage re-
sulting therefrom are apparent.
So far as known there has been but
one loss of life, although reports from
outlying districts are meagre, and 9th
ers may be added to the list.
Henry Meel1ins, an aged white man,
of humble circumstances, but much
respected, went in the woods to fight
fire on the goth instant, and has not
been seen or heard from since. He is
supposed to have been burned alive.
All efforts to find him in the woods or
elsewhere have proved unavailing.
Samuel Bricl1house, who has been pre-
viotlsly reported as seriously burned,
it is thought will recover, although the
back of his head and his back were
burned to a crisp.
The damage to both farmers and
lumbermen was great. Many Of the
farmers have fencelesg fields i'm which
much Of their crop had already been
planted, and the season is now too far
advanced for them TO build new fences
before III is too late to plant crops
while many of the lumber men are
forced to suspend operations until new
tram and railways can be constructed,
iii the place Of those destroyed.
But in the juniper swamps the most
damage has been wrought. These
swalnps are very low and are generally
covered with water, but owing 10 the
dry weather they were very dry. The
soil is composed of decayed vegetable
matter. and it burned as if it had been
fuel The result is that all timber has
been burned from them, and the soil
adapted to its growth having been
burned also, the timber will not repro
duce itself, although ii Is Of quick
growth, and ordinarily does so in about
fifteen years.

PENSIONS n NORTH CAROLINA

Recently, in North Carolina, a Com
federate veteran, aged one hundred and
one, applied to the State authorities
for O pension, stating that, what with
age and the effect of wounds received
during the civil war, he had at length
become unable to support himself. He
had volunteered at the age Of sixty
seven and served through the war, be-
ing wounded several times. Both
hands had been injured by wounds re-
ceiped in BATTLE, yet he has continued
tin now to work and has refused to
receive a pension on the ground that
he did not think it right" to do so
while he was able to earn a living. His
application was ''for the future" and
mo back arrearages." 1T was granted,
and it is to be hoped that the old sol
der will continue, after his long re-
cord Of self-reliance, to enjoy his own
seIf-respect and the respect of his
neighbors lie sets an example to the
veterans Of the Union armies which
they viii honor themselves by imitat-
ing. There are no doubt many Union
veterans who still refuse 10 ask the
bounty Of the government because
they feel able to provide for their
wants. There are honorable survivors
on both sides. But iii may be inferred

pensioners that there are thousands

FASHIONS IN RINGS.

In Nero's time there was fashion
prevalent of wearing large rings, the
setting Of which was carved with the
bust of the special divinity who was the
wearer's patron.
Paradise rings were greatly worn in
Italy three centuries ago. They were
very wide and bore on The circumfer-
ence representations of Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden.
When the tomb of the great En-
peror Frederick, who died in 1880, was
opened in 1850, his coronation ring,
set with beautiful emerald, was still
found upon his finger.
The ring of Edward the Confessor
is preserved among the royal regalia
of Great Britain. For several centuries
it was used in the coronation cere-
monies of the English kings.
In the Etruscan tombs of northern
Italy gold rings have been found made
in the shape of cord, large knot of
intricate pattern forming the princi-
pal part of the ornament.
Mourning rings were greatly used in
Europe during the 18th century. After
the execution of Charles /. his sym
pathizers in England wore mourning
rings in token of their grief.
The scarabaeus, or sacred beetle Of
the Egyptians, was favorite subject
for a setting in the early Egyptian
rings. It was carved in stone, the work
often being exquisitely done.

Nelson Dingley, Jr., the chairman of
the committee on ways and means,
never had any profession other than
that of newspaper proprietor and ed
itor, creating in 20 years of hard work
the most influential and widely-read
paper in Maine, the Lewiston Journal.
Even now he finds time on occasions to
write leading article.
Paul Louis Courier, when bitterly as
sailed by French professor, quietly re-
marked: 81 fancy he must be vexed.
He calls me 'Jacobin, rebel, plagiarism,

he and 1 are not of the same opinion,

''The mainest thing with poor folks.
Rufus, is to make the edges cut comm"
says he. "Save your time as we'll as
your money, and make the fggers count
your way. Settle the question as to
what you will do and what you will be,
and then set your pegs and work out
your plans accordin. If you mean to be
farmer, which l reckon yon will, as 1t
runs in the family, it would be vanity
to spend your money to go off to college
and learn everything in the high fiurtin
branches. 1t will pay you better to take
the money you would spend for fancy
book learnin and put it into pair of
good mules. Latin and algebry and
history and the like of that will do toll
erable we'll if a boy has got plenty of
time and plenty of money to take it all
in, but you can be a good farmer and run
your business to the winnin pint with
out all them fancy trimmins. If you
can read and write and fgger through
the rithnctic that will do to start on,
and IL you must learn any more you can
pick it up on the run. Lawyers and doc.
tors and school teachers have to go on
up into the higher branches, as they
say, but that wouldn't stand for much
with you when it comes down to rock
bottom and plain business. Make the
edges cut comm, Rufus, and spend your
time and money for somethin that you
need in your everyday business-some-
thin that will fill your hand and help
you in the fight"
Now then. Set you down this. Tho
money that people spend for book
learnin, which never will be worth a
continental in the great issues of every
day life, would feed all the widers and
orphants in the land, and build a new
school house in every settlement.
