New York Manners Surprise Londonel

New York Manners Surprise Londoner.
The ordinary Londoner who has not
had the good fortune to cross the At
lantic is wont to picture his American
cousin wearing goatee and victim
to the constant chewing of tobacco
and liberal eXpectoration. On arriv-
ing in New York he is amazed to dis
cover that the goatee is conspicuous
by it's absence, tobacco chewing un-
noticeable and expectoration practical
ly unknown. In this respect he finds
the New Yorker far more cleanly in
his habits than the Londoner, more
especially on public cars and in pub
lie places. The unrestrained indul-
gence of splitting on and off the tops
of buses and in railway trains, and
the random chewing and smoking Of
tobacco in and around London are
simply odious, and make travelling in
tolerable and ofttimes disgusting even
to a smoker. Here the stringent pro-
hibition against splitting in public
places and the sensible regulation as
to smoking are so thoroughly observed
that travelling becomes a pleasure. If
London would only copy the most ad-
mirable example existing in New York
in this respect the English metropolis
would soon be rid of most unwarrant-
able and filthy habit.

Knitting is declared by specialists in
the treatment Of rheumatism to be a
most helpful exercise for hands liable
to become stiff from the complaint, and
1t is being prescribed by physicians be-
cause of its efficacy III limbering up the
hands of such sufferers, says Woman's
Life. For persons liable to cramp,
paralysis, or any other affection of
the fingers of that character, knitting
is regarded as most beneficial exer-
'cise. Besides, the simple work is said
to be an excellent diversion for the
nerves, and is recommended to women
suffering from insomnia and depres-
sion. In certain aanitariums patients
are encouraged to make use Of the
bright steels, and the work is so pleas
ant that it is much enjoyed by them.

him, but suppose all l have written con-
corning him in the last thirty-fve years,
would amount to thirty or more pages of
Harper's neutrality-suspicious. forty. l hold
steadfastly that Mr.. Badger. if not the
very greatest, was at least one of the
two or three greatest men men ever
born in North Carolina-a man of genius,
an advocate at the bar without rival,
in less than six years became the ac-
knowledged leader of the Wing party in
the United States Senate, and upon his
retirement at the close of his one term
the opposing party in the Senate-the
Democratic-passed a resolution of regret
that the Senate was to lose his presence,
and the country his services. He died
at some II or 70 years of age, having
been stricken with paralysis while taking
walk for exercise. It was my happi-
ness to have heard him at the bar more
than once and also to have heard him
make the first political speech of his life,
as he said-when As years old-and by
common consent of the greatest bar in
the State. he was easily the foremost
advocate in North Carolina. He had
great reputation in Washington as
lawyer. Webster read an opinion pre-
pared at his request by Badger before
the Supreme Court of the United States
instead of arguing the case himself. Sen
ator John j. Crittenden, then with the
largest practice before that supreme trib
unal, upon leaving the Senate to become
Governor of Kentucky, gave all his cases
to. Badger When Rufus Choate asked
Senator Robert c. Winthrop whom could
he secure to appear before that court in
a Massachusetts case, he himself being
unable to visit Washington at the time,
had for an answer, Get Badger" 'Why,"
said Choate, what can Badger know of
maritime law. as he never had a case in
his life?" The reply came: 'Never mind,
secure Badger, drop in while~he is making
his argument, and you will think Badger
never did anything in his life but prac-
tice in a maritime court.
Who are the greatest men ever born in
North Carolina? / see sometimes third
or fourth rate men characterized as very
able" or indeed great" Not infrequent-
ly men of really not second rate capacity
are placed at the head. North Carolina
has had many able men among her sons.
Men may write other names for the front
rank, but in my seventy-fifth year, after
many opportunities, a wide acquaintance,
much reading and hearing and observa-
ton, l am persuaded that it is proper to
write the nomes-George E. Badger, An
drew jackson, Thomas Hart Benton, Will
liam CASTOR, Johnston Pettigrew and
Zebulon B. Vance. These. in my belief,
are the six who deserve the highest
inches in the States Valhalla. Who
ranks first l will not press.

RAIN WAS A S0AKER.
Il Worth Thousands Of Dollars to
Wheat Growers.


The rain which began falling early
Friday evening and continued at inter.
walls all night is worth thousands
upon thousands Of dollars to the
farmers Of this section. 1t will give
the wheat the necessary start before
winter sets In.
A big wheat grower was in town
the other day, when merchant re-
marked to him in a joke that he be.
lieved he would close up his store,
business was so dull. III it rains
within week." remarked the farmer,
"I'll buy your place out and give 1t
back to you" The merchant is now
looking for the man with many hun
dreds Of acres Of wheat to make him
keep his bargain.
There Is no way to estimate the
value Of good rain at this time OF
year. A very dry fall is death to
wheat and plentitude OF moisture,
if it is not too plentiful, is the saliva
ton Of wheat. Every farmer in the
country was smiling this morning
over the generous rain last night.
