Where to Find Out a Man

The Langhorn (Pa) Standard has ev-
identity been studying human nature as
revealed by the masculine sex. The
following terse, logical aud common
sense article, which shows that his OBJ
servatiOns have not been without re-
suits, should be pasted i'll the hat of
every husband and father in the land:
The best place to take the true measure
OF a man is, not at his place of business,
or ut church, but at his own tiresde.
There he lays aside his mask, and YOU
may learn whether he is gentleman or
a humbug. No matter what his reputa-
ton may be, if his children dread his
home coming, and his wife swallows her
heart every time she asks him for a dol
lar, he is a fraud OF the first water. You
can forgive much in fellow mortal who
would rather make men swear than
women weep; who would rather have the
hate of the whole world than the con-
tempt OF his wife; who would rather call
anger to the eyes OF a king than fear to
the face of q child

BOOK NORTH CAROLINIANS
OUGHT TO OWN.

North Carolina has literature of her
own. North Carolina has a poetry OF
her own. 1t is a sad fact, however, that
the majority of North CarOlinians are
unaware of the existence of this poetry,
but it does exist and it ought to be in
every household within the State.
There is a glamour of poetry about
1.-The good Old North State, her history
and her children, such as fingers about
the fame of no other State of the origi-
T ! thirteen The Roanoke Island col
Ony and its mysterious fate; the birth
of the little girl, Virginia Dare, on our
coast, the first white child born in the
New World, the very beginning of that
superb and splendid womanhood which
is the brightest jewel of all the treasures
of the republic; the residence amongst us
of Flora Macdonald; the history OF the
State in the Revolution; her unrivalled
record in the civil war when she furnished
more soldiers than she had voters and
lost more men than any other Southern
State; theidentity OF the Croatans; storm
swept Hatteras; the everlasting hills
that form the barrier to the West; the
death of and search for Elisha Mitch
ell; the States wealth of flowers, her sill
yer streams, her Alp-like landscapes, her
golden sunsets, her grand men, her
beautiful women-all these and many
other themes offer opportunity to the
poet.
\ most excellent compilation of North
Carolina poetry is the volume edited by
Rev. Hight c. Moore, entitled "Select
Poetry of North Carolina" We have
referred to it more than once before. The
only similar work ever published in the
State, as we learn from the preface, was
"Wood Notes or Carolina Carols" by,
Mrs. Mary Bayard Clarke, OF New bern,
| which appeared in 1854, "at least two
decades before our best poetry was writ

'The Angel in the Clond,'' by Edwin
w. Fuller, are here to be found, with the
choicest selections from John II. Boner,
Mrs Mary Bayard Clarke, Thomas n.

Henry Jerome Stockard and many 9th

denis superb ''l1atteras, which Henry
Jerome Stockard considers peerless
among North Carolina poems, and

But Mr.. Moore's book has not met
with the reception from the North Caro-
lima reading public which its merits enti-
tie it to; he finds a large number of cop

ought to have copy upon the parlor

A dispatch from Teheran, under

of the Shah of Persia by assassination.
He was shot by man disguised in
female apparel. The details OF the
tragedy are given as follows:
The Shah, accompanied by the
Grand Vizier, Asghar, and a number
of attendants, paid visit to the shrine
of Shah Abdul Aim. His Majesty
traversed the outer court of the shrine,
where he stopped and gave a bank
note to an Arab and spoke few kind
words to a water carrier. Two chains
barred the way to the inner court OF
the shrine.
The Shah had just passed the
frs chain when the assassin ap-
preached him, and when within a few
feet of him fired revolver, the bullet
from which struck the Shah near the
heart. His Majesty fell forward upon
his knees, but rose to his feet and
walked few PAGES, when he fell again.
The assassin was Immediately seized
and hurried away.
The Shah at once became uncon.
scious and was Immediately taken to
his carriage and conveyed to the palace

That is what the ssold reliable'
Baltimore Steam Packet Company,
better known as the ebay Line" oper-
ating the handsome fleet Of steamers
between Norfolk and Baltimore, are
doing. They are constantly adding
some new craft or equipment to their

by the following announcement:

RUSSELL SEVERELY SCORED.
At Republican meeting in Raleigh
last week Judge Russell, who aspires
to be Governor, made an inhammatory
speech in which he undertook to array
the negroes against the whites. But
be it said to the credit of the Colored
people who heard his harangue he met
with cold comfort. Indeed, the man
who sought political preferment by
appealing to the passions of the ne
gr0cs was rebuked by one Of those to
whom the appeal was made. The
next night there was meeting of The
colored Republicans, when one Of then
number, DR.. l.. a. Scruggs, replied &c
the incendiary utterances Of Russell
during the course Of which he re
buked, in an emphatic manner, The
man who had sought to array the
blacks against the whites. He said
am no politician, but desire te
register my eternal and everlasting
protest against the effort that was made
here last night to array the black man
against the white man. 1t is wrong
it is unwise, it IS unjust, it is dangerous
and damnable. Hold your politlca

last night. The white man and tn,

together. 1t is our country; our home

GREAT good to the South will in

Some prominent men from different
sections of the country have been in

full share toward making the event a
success by the extremely low rates of

say that if the people of North Caro-
lima were interesting themselves half
as much in attracting emigration of

Beware
OF Mercury!

Whenever a doctor is called upon to
treat blood disease, the result nine
times out of ten is that the treatment
is worse than the disease, and in a
short while the patient finds his
condition far worse than it was at first.
The reason of this is that notwith-
standing the great progress made in
surgery, and in some branches of med
icine, the doctors have failed absolute
" to discover a cure for blood diseases.
Whether in the form of pill, powder or
liquid, their treatment is always the
same potash and mercury which
temporarily dry up the poison in the
system and no sooner has it taken on
the full effects of these powerful drugs,
than that supp1eness and elasticity of
the joints give way to stiffness, fol-
lowed by the racking pains of rheu-
matis1n. Then follows loss of hair
and finger nails, and even decay of the
bones-a condition most horrible.
Mr.. Henry Roth, of 1848 South Ninth
street, St. Louis, Mo-, was victim of
contagious blood poison-that worst
form of blood disease, which has always
baffled the doctors. He was treated
by physician, and In due time pro-

ABOUT TIE RAILROAD SHOPS.

As regards the removal of the Sea
board Air Line shops to Henderson,
our people are anxious for them and
will leave nothing undone to get them
here. That this is the best location
in the line, many think, though the
railroad officials know best as to that.
There are many strong points in IA
vor of Henderson, all of which are suf
ficicntly we'll known to those concerned
to need no suggestion or elaboration
here
Certainly, by its central situation
and environments Henderson is the
logical point for the location of the
shops if this system is to continue to
grow and develop as we believe it IS.
Henderson Is the most important
saipping station the Seaboard Air Line
ldS, SIEIlIS IL illDIC btiHiilCo> IMAM an
other place, and it viii continue to do
so. The attitude of our people to-
ward the road and its management, past
and present, has always btea one Of
friendlincss. Business men here have
perfect confidence in the wisdom an
ability of the officials, and accord to
others the same privilege that they ask,
the right to manage their affairs to
suit themselves.
Yet, as we have already stated, We
believe Henderson IS the proper place
for the shops, and it only remains to
demonstrate the fact to the railroad
people in order to convince them. In
the meantime our citizens are deter
mined and pushing this matter as they
do all other business enterprises.
