once within the little harbor, the great guns
from the war vessels would speak their sa-
lutte TO the DANISH nag, awaiting the answer
from the fort above, which was soon forth
coming. Then came the salute to the Amer
lean consul, a gentleman Of color who bore
his honors during that exciting period with
evident satisfaction and unequaled dignity
and ceremony. 1t was a noisy time for the
people OF st. Thomas, for the hills around
the harbor gave back the echoes Of the guns
until they were repeated a hundred times
with deafening force. A cloud Of smoke
constantly hung over the little red-roofed
town, and the streets were filled with an
unusual number Of strangers upon business
and pleasure bent. The trade Of st. Thomas
took on new life. The stores were thronged
with sailors and civilians, the cable office
with naval messengers and newspaper cor
respondents, and the older inhabitants must
have again dreamed Of the years gone nv
when St. Thomas was the busiest port In
all the West Indies.
Where Our Vessels Get Coal,
1t was here that vessels OF all descrip-
tons came for coal. brought there in the
first place by GOLFERS. The negro women
of st. Thomas. with their enormous bas-
kets. put the coal aboard the ships, thus
furnishing novel sight for those who had
nothing better to do than to wait for the
day Of sailing. At the hotels the naval
men and correspondents gave each other
little dinners of twelve or fifteen courses
1t was good food, clean and well cooked
and tasted like mamma from heaven to those
who had been long at sea or upon short
rations with the army in Cuba or Porto
Rico. The Americans paid right well for
everything they got but begrudged nothing
that was asked. The vendors OF cooling

MiIliean Copper Ore.

Alvin, Brazoria Co., Tex, May
S.-There has been considerable
written about the discovery Of cop
per ore at Millican. Major G.. W.
Durrant, a resident Of this city,
once owned a farm near Millican,
and says some parties brought three
barrels Of copper ore from Jack
county to Millican as samples.
The ore was stored in a house which
burned down and the ore was scat
tered over town. Years afterwards
parties more recently settled there
would find some of this ore and
get excited about it being a local
product. He thinks without doubt
the ore mentioned in The News
was from this same lot, as living in
and near Millican for years he has
never seen any indications Of cop

How to Help Others.

Selected
Did you ever think how many
people you could help and bless in a
single day il you would only set your
self deliberately to trying? There are
a thousand and one little things, the
doing of which would cost you no
serious effort, and would at the same
time prove serviceable to somebody
else. The mere habit of speaking a
kind word as you pass has great pos
siblllties in it. We have often seen .
sad face brighten at the sound OF a
CHEEKY voice.
There are some men whose very
presence is an inspiration. They carr.
a wholesome atmosphere with them
wherever they go. Contact with them
though it be only brief and casual, is o
q quickening force. And there are
other men whose influence is as
disheartening as q drlzziing day
or east wind. To look at them is to
suffer reduction of intellectual and
spiritual vigor.

The workman paused, his hamme,
lifted midway, and smiled. "You
would never do fof a mechanic, then,'
he said "it is only repeated effort that
brings good results"
This Is true along any line Of work
you may pursue. The art of accom-
plishing task skilfully is not learned
in a day, but often represents years of
steadfast toll. This ought not to dis
courage us, but, rather, to increase our
desire to succeed. It il true that "no
great thing was ever lightly won."
A boy who In early life sets about
his work, whatever it may be, In earn
est, Is likely to accomplish wonderful
results. "That son of yours is a born
farmer" remarked one man approving
ly to another, as he noted the energetic
manner in which the lad performed
his task. "John always does his level
best at everything" was the reply.
That is really the secret OF the whole
matter-our level best, and stopping 1T
nothing short of it.

Cost Of Growing Corn.

Selected.
The American Agriculturist has
published statistics on the cost of
growing corn, which would seem to
show that it IS good and profitable
business, alter ali.
There has been much controversy
over the cost of raising wheat, cotton
and corn, and it certainly varies great
ly under different conditions. Never
theless, it il as true now as 1t always
has been, that farming is profitable
business when pursued with reasonable
intelligence and industry and in no
other occupation is there so small u
per centage of risk. The small farmer
is always assured of his Lying which
the snail merchant and manufacturer
may not be, while the capital of the
latter is subject to great risks. 1t is
an economic law that where there is
little risk there is less return than in
more precarlous ventures, and the
farmer may be content with moderate
profits when he feels that his principal
is not jeopardized. AS a matter OF
fact, there is great deal of money to
be made in tiling the soil, and 1t Will
continue to be made as long as present
conditions exist. The corn grower will
have good crops this year, and he is
sure of good market whether be sells
the grain direct or converts it into
beef or pork, which is a much better
way to do.

They may have the chance
There has been considerable discus
sion Of the various phases of the liquor
question in North Carolina since the
present Legislature convened. The
vsrioug dispensary fights and other
things pertaining to the liquor ques-
ton have put on record the sayings OF
many members of the Legislature.
In opposing certain dispensarj
measures soma Of the members have
glibiy declared that in the interest of
consistency Of church members and
for the sake OF the State keeping out
of the liquor business they can not
afford to vote for the State to do what
they would ecorn to do individually /;
adding the solemn declaration that
if it were question Of State prohibi
ton they would vote for it.
Very well, gentlemen You may
have the opportunity Of proving your
position sooner than you think
THE COMMON believes that the
State Is about ready, sure enough to
vote "absolute prohibition" Of which
some members of the Legislature
speak so easily and we are ready to
join the press and the people of the
State in an earnest effort to have the
election OF 1881 repeated.
Can't we have It? If the temper
ance- people OF the Slate will bend
efforts and blend energies for it, We
can have 4 fair chance at the question,
and The COMMONWEALTH believes pro-
hibitlCn will win out.
