THE HOME CIRCLE
The Old North State Forever


Carolina! Carolina! Heavens blessings attend
While we live we will cherish, protect and defend
her;
Though the scorner may sncer at and writings de-
fame her,
Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name
her.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State!
Though she envies not others their merited glory,
Yet her name stands the foremost in Liberty's
story!
Though too true to herself e'er TO crouch to OPP
preston,
None e'er yields to just rule more loyal submis-
Hurrah. Hurrah! the Old North State forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State!
Plain and artlcss her sons, but whose doors open
To the knock of the stranger or the tale of dis
aSter?
How like to the rudeness of their dear native
mountains,
With rich ore in their bosoms and life in their
fountains.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever!
Hurrah. IIurrah! the good Old North State!
And her daughters, the queen of our forest re-
sembling.
So graceful, so constant, to gcntlest breath
trembling,
So true at their hearts when the test is applied

How blessed each day as we spend it beside them!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever!
Hurrah. Hurrah. the good Old North State!
Then let all who love us love the land that we
live in.

Where Plenty and Freedom, Love and Peace

Elementary School Physiology.

For pure confusion of thought the following
brief essay by a school child OF twelve on the
Human Body" would be hard to beat:
1.-The human body is divided into three parts
the head, the chest, and the tummick.
1.-The head contains the eyes, ears, nose, mouth,
and brains, if any.
1.-The chest contains the heart, lungs, and part
Of the liver.
1.-The tummick is entirely devoted to the VOW
els, of which there are five, namely, a, e, i, O, u,
and sometimes y and z."-St. James Gazette.

The Countercheck Quarrelsome.

Two little negro boys were having a difference
of opinion. One was talking with great volubiI-
ity, while the other was listening. The speaker
was pouring into his companions ears all the
walls of his wrath in the characteristic language
of his race. Finally he seemed to have exhausted
himself, and paused for breath.
Said the listener, "Is you done?"
Eyes, is done" replied the first speaker.
"Well, den," said his companion, call dem
things you say | is, you is."-May Woman's Home

Catching Cold.

Habitual colds are due to an ill-kept skin on
the outside and d~yspcptic mucous membranes
on the inside, the result of indigestion or consti-
patton. coupled with carelessness.
Cold water. proper food and common sense are
the foundations upon which a cold-curc must rest.
\ cold sponge bath. one to three minutes long,
with a brisk, dry rub Immediately before and af-
ter, is cxccllcnt-usualIy all that is necessary to
keep the cutanoous circulation alive and the skin
rcactivc to sudden changes Of temperature.
For those unaccustomcd to cold water. tolcr-
ancc can be gained in three weeks time by the
use Of water at any comfortable temperatures.
making it ono degree colder each day, until it can
be employed without dread as cold as it will run.
Salt may be added to the water for its stimulating
effect, or alcohol; witch-hazcl is also useful.
Cold water intclligently used does not steal
vitality but fosters it. 1t stimulates the nerves
that control the expansion and contraction of the
blood-vesscls and regulates the cutaneous circu-
lation. The dry rub is a fair substitute for those
who cannot take the cold sponge.
Hat water may be employed once or twice a
week when a full bath is taken and soap used.
This bath should end with a cold sponge.
For cold feet, wading anklc-deep in cold water
in the bath-tub for one or two minutes before
retiring will be found effective. If reaction does
not set in after brisk rubbing, wrap the feet in
flannel; they will soon thaw out. Do not use hot
water bottles or other facilitating forms of heat

Where Good Breeding is Shown.

Every daughter Of Eve-or at least every one
who belongs to that branch of her family that
eventually became Amcricans,-is fond of pretty
clothes. as an adjunct in the futherance of the
natural desire to please, an instinct implanted
by a beneticent Crcator,-but not every girl knows
that her breeding is shown in her clothes, and that
fine ones do not make her a lady nor impose upon
any one by making her appear to be one.
Cheap fnery not only betrays poverty, which it
is unnecessary to confide to the world at large,
which regards it most unsympathetically, and not
only proclaims ignorance Of good taste, but also
lays a girl open to misconception and possible
Identification with the least worthy of her sex.
We are not all amcnable to suggestions for our
good; and, when our desire clash with our "sense
of oughtness," it depends upon the quality of our
makeup which shall prevail. Another evidence of
gentle breeding is a wcll-modulated voice. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson said: "Shut me up in a
dark room with a mixed multitude, and I can pick
cut the gentlefolks by their voices"
In the compass of every voice there are three
registers,-the middle or throat, the lower or
chest, and the upper or head register. The use of
the middle pitch for talking is very desirable, but
the voice should be trained to slide up and down,
varying with the emotions; low, when the mood
inclincs toward seriousness, and higher when it
becomes tingcd with excitement. An interesting
speaker constantly changes his pitch; not abrupt
ly, but with case and skill, and the greater range
one has the more certain he is to get and retain
the pleased attention Of listeners. Our high
pitched, strident voices are sharply criticised, and
1T is quite within our power to change them.
l confess to liking a bit of slang now and then
from a young mans mouth. 1t sounds racy, adds
snap and spice if used iudiciously, and a few of
its terms are pithy and expressive, but when a girl
uses slang it only sounds common. What is be-
to one sex is not becoming so to the
other.
When we see a woman who laughs and talks
loudly in public places, we. put a severe strain uD-
on our charity and Judgment not to think her vn1-
When to the conventional, GLOW do YOU do Q"

Raleigh Times: A gentleman from the country
was speaking to-day of growing cotton and the
growing prices of cotton, and said that yester-
day he sold eight bales for 1882, and that lust
exactly six years ago he sold eight bales of good
cotton for $16O.25.

SHAW SPEAKS IN JERSEY CITY.
Answers Judge Parker's Anti-Protecion
Talk-Big Crowd to Hear Him.

Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw.
spoke for two hours last night at a big and
enthusiastic Republican mass meeting in
Elks Hall, Henderson and York streets.
Jersey City. Herman Walker, candidate
for Congress in the Tenth New Jersey dis
trict, presided.
Mr.. Shaw's breezy delivery caught the
crowd and he made hit with the remark
that there Is as much difference between
politician and a statesman as there Ia
between a young man looking for situation
and a young man looking for work. In
part he said:
On Saturday last the Democratic candidate
for President discussed the tariff question.
He cites the fact. so frequently stated. that
originally the protective tariff was imposed
for the encouragement of infant industries,
and he draws the conclusion that. because
our industries are no longer infantile. there
fore the protective tariff should be re-
moved Those who advocated protection
under conditions existing one hundred
years ago very likely failed to antici-
pate conditions existing now, and there
fore some OF the arguments used then
are not applicable now. The principle OF
protection, however. is as sound now as then.
and the application Of the principle Ia as ben
eficial now as II was then.
Judge Pa rker quotes Henry Clay in his
support of his compromise tariff Of 1893. but
with the instinct of an advocate. Judge
Parker failed to quote Heny Clay's opinion
of the tariff law which his compromise bill
gradually reduced. In speech delivered
in the United States Senate Of 1882. he said:

BALTIMORE. Oct. rs. Private Peter G..
Emmett of the Coast Artillery at Fort
McHenry, who served twelve years In thu
British Army, two of which were spent
in the stronghold OF Gibraltar, has had an
of the plans OF Gibraltar, suoh as were
recently found in the streets Of Baltimore.
This proposition, he says. was made to
him on last Thursday night by a stranger
in Harlem Park. The man spoke with a
foreign accent.
Some time ago maps of forts Horeshand.
Hurst Castle and Gibraltar were found
on the streets Of Baltimore. Private Emmett,
who examined them, recognized them as
crude but faithful drawings OF the forts.
He said that in case Of war with England
they would prove invaluable to the enemy.
Since then stranger has appeared at
Fort McHenry and has had several inter-
views at other places with Private Emmett
He offered Emmett 1000 to reproduce
the drawings OF the forts or to make draw
ings OF his own.
Emmett says this stranger was about so
years old and about five feet ten inches
tall, and has n dark red beard which he
chews as he talks. He was dressed in
black and wore soft hat and glasses.
Emmett believes he is a spy Of foreign
Coy ernment, probably a Russian, and
thinks he came here from Washington.
Emmett refused to make the drawings.
Il can't shatter an oath, he told the man.

feelings as an Irish American, but Emmett
remained firm.

FORMER PARTNER, EX-JUSTICE
FURSMAN, COMPLAINANT.
Arrested In Troy on Bench Warrant
Following an Indictment for Grand
Larceny-Cnse Grew Out OF Alleged
Fraudulent Transaction In New York.

Fraudulent TRANSACTION In new YORK.
Troy, Oct. 25.-Under an indictment
charging grand larceny John Schwarzkopf.
formerly member of the law firm of Furs-
man, Little d Schwarzkopf of New York,
was arrested in this city to-day and is now
in Jail. He was arrested on State street
in this city this afternoon by District At
torneys Officer Humane on a bench war
rant charging grand larceny in stealing
e. 400 from ex-Justice Edgar l.. Fursman
Of this city.
This Indictment was found on testimony
OF Mr.. Fursman and his partner, Mr.. Little,
furnished to the Grand Jury which sat in
September. Subsequently, at the October
term of the Supreme Court, Justice Belts
presiding, judgment by default was taken
on note which, it is alleged, ex-Justice
Fursman was ultimately obliged to leash.
1t is understood that Schwarzkopf came
to this city to-day to inquire about that
judgment, which was taken by default
Evidently he knew nothing Of the criminal
proceedings instituted and seemed greatly
surprised when the officer accosted him
in the street and, despite his protestations,
took him to the Jail.
This arrest grew out Of a transaction
which it is alleged occurred in New York
city. Scnwarzkopf was then accused Of
appropriating money collected by him
When arrested and confined he appealed
to his law partner, Mr.. Fursman, who
furnished the money by means Of a note
which gave Schwarzkopf his release. His
note, it is charged, proved to be worthless
so far as the ind rsement Of Schwarzkopf
was concerned, nd when the time came
for payment ex-Iustioe Fursman had to
meet it.
Both the crimi lal and civil proceedings
were conducted - quietly as the law per-
mits in such discs. Mr.. Fursman per-
sonally appeared before the Grand Jury
and was the only witness in the civil action.

on bail, but a. IL O'Clock tonight had not
succeeded, and looks as II he will have
