Dr. SttEET gives tho mortalily of
Newport, N. H., for 1883 at 11.5 per 1,-
000 Inhabitants, a very low rate. The
remarkable features iu his record arc,
however, the small number of deaths
among young persons, and tho fact that
those who passed the age of 60 had an
overage life of 70 years. Of tho thirty
who died, fourtet-n had passed or nearly
reaohed iholr 80th year, their average
longevity being 81 years and 3 months,
Tho number attending school was 520.
Among these no death occured during
tne year, and but one child died who
was under school ago. Such figures
bring very forcibly to mind tho f.ict that
to keep down tLo mortality billj we
must look carefully to tho health of child
ren. Wno hai ooi it? Rodger McGlnley,

Fair profits and small savings seemed

A proviso with respect toccal is to the effect
that It shall not apply to Canada until that

Jones voted In tho affirmative, and Messrs.
Kelly, Kasson, McICinley, Iliscock and

The business outlook is as yet very poor.
In comparison with former yesrs there is a
dullness Id '.be dry goods and similar trades
whose like has no, been experienced for
years, and in consequence the hotels thst
depend upon out of town buyers for patro
nage alaj suffer. Western and Southern
floods, prolonged snow-storms and heavy
lee formations have for the time being al
most paralysed trade. In agricultural dis
tricts the fierceoeu of the weather with
which March has installed itself has been
the cause of delaying farming operations
and thus everything is backward and spring
trade will be known barely in name. The
letall business is no better. Here it Is bare
ly a week from tbe forma) opening ol
spring, according to the calendar, and the
stores barely show a trace ol spring goods.
Of course such unhsppy beings as are an
nually compelled to diy deep into their
pockets to pay for tbe spring bonnets of
their wives will not weep oyer tbe absenoe
ot temptation from store windows, but the
tradesmen whose money is invested cannot
but look very blue over the rnapect.

Is in a measure dying out. Within the last
few weeks there have been several enter
tainments, and a few oftbeni of very high
order.yiewed from the purely sporting point
which nave practically laiien dead, now
and then an encounter with bare fists Is

Harry Hill's lieutenants about the causa of

of sadness in his voice that the newspapers
were soieiy responsible lor mis. "When
ever there is a nice, geuleel entertainment

of him around ostensibly to show him op

steered him to a den where Fan-Tan, the

poor fellow had lost every dollar he owned

here, but we could do nothing for him, as
he was unable to identify the place or the

them to form a society, whose members

WIthont doubt tbe northwest is as
much a part of the United States of Am
erica as New York or Massachusetts, but
to a visitor from a foreign country, it
would be difficult to persuade him that
it was uot a system of provinces of dif
ferent nationalities. In one section be
wilt find the short, nwartby bued Bo
hemians exclusively, invariably speaking
their native tongue and generally living
in abject poverty. In another and per
haps adjoining tier of counties there will
be found only the tall Danes with their
nrlstocratio bearing. Nearby a horde of
Russian Jewish refugees partake their
first freedom aud drink in tbe zephyrs
from the Dakota prairies which, compared
with the Siberian air.tbey And warm nnd
healthful, French peasants have appro-
piiated another land distriot, and with
proverbial thrift and industry are mak

meichant for allot' these classes, and the
bwodea and Norwegians are the aristo
crats, notwithstanding tbey are by far
tbe most numerous class. In fact tbe
Swede bos practically appropriated the
northwest, and is n power politically that
parties respect, lie u a good citizen,
honest, energetio, industrious and sober.
The majority of these foreign elements
of our society are of comparatively recent
adoption, nnd like all new comers lire
suspicions of tbe natives, hence, an ex-
clusivents8 that divides society into
many cliques. All however appear to
feel that tbey have struck a good thing
in coming to this oouutry and will stand
by each other in a common cause. The
native born children ofiwedes who have
lived here ft loug time rather look ask
ance nt the new comers Irom their fath
ers' land, aud speak of them as "come
over folks." There seems to be some
thing iu the air that makes a child born
u-jdtr the stars and stripes feel that he
is better than one boru in any other
oouutry or clime. It will be interesting
to know what will be tbe characteristics
of tbe child of n tuture generation result
ing from tbe admixture of these widely
differing classes of society, lor while tbey
are ctauuisn at prvseui, love win break
through such bars and intermarriage
will be common.
There is much discontent among the
farmers iu the Canadian proviuce of
Manitoba. Ilebeilion is talked nf nod
the movement is agitated by tbe Fcuian
element who want anything that will in
jure old England, and upheld by laud
boomers tbla side of the line who kuow
that it will iucrtase immigration to tbe
territories. There is uo i)oubt soma just
oanse ror growling, as tbe Uauadlau uov
ernment has largely subsidiz-d one rail
road that proves to be a harsh monopoly.
Western enterprise is fast crowding
Yaukee ingeuuity, and now breaks on
iu tbe form of a railroad from some point
in Dakota to tap Hudson's Biy and then
connect wun a water route through Da
vis Stiaita to Eoclaud, thus seenrinrr a
line not longer than via tbe Oreat Lakes
and New York aud it is alleged much
cheaper.
Anticipating the probable forfeiture of
a large portion of laud now held by the
northern racino road , settlers are squat
ting ou them, and when the average west
ern settler squats, he must have cold be
fore he'll move, but then a little of this
stuff will go a long ways, especially in
winter.
Business men and farmers, who were
fortunate enough to be able to leave
these trigld latitude ror warmer dimes
in tbe east during tbe winter, are now
beginning to wander back again, and
after digging tbeir stores and bouses out
of the snow will begin to lay plans for
the spring movement in booms and tbe
fall movement -in wheat. There will be
less personal baggage dumped 'on lbs
Dakota prairies ibis year tlian lasf,'as
much of the Immigration will skip. across
this ambitious territory to more oougoti
al climes ou the Paciflo coast. At the
present rate of progression, the next

He. Oct What the law Allowed.
Bquire, Helms, of Schuylkill Haven, like
alt good Justices, performs the matrimonial
ceremony when the parties dcstie to be
bound by the authority of the Common
wealth. The other day a young couple
celled on the 'Squire and desired lobe mar
ried in the regular style. Tho ceremony
was performed with proper solemnity, and
the papers made out.
"How much do I owe you?" asked the
elated groom.
"The law allows me three dollars," said
the Justice.
The man fished around in his pantaloons
packet for thirty seconds, and brought up
three nlekles and a dime.
"The law allows you three dollars," said
the happy benedict; "and here are Iwenty
five cents; that will make three dollars and
twenty-five cents."
Before the 'Squire could recover himself

This warmly expressed ragret fell from the

TUE CLIMATE
or North Carolina surpasses that or any oth
er State In the Union, being tempered on one
side by the Alantlo ocean and on the other
by the high peaks of the Appalachian Moun
tains. Tho average rail of snow for the en
tire winter Is six Inches. The average num
ber or foggy days are two (3). No pan or the

In N. C, Dnrlng a lato winter of unusual

THE SOIL AND CROPS.
The great variety or soils together with
the climatic conditions gives rlso to the

Cotton, grain, tobacco and rice are the
leading staple crops.
The Chinese tea plant flourishes through
out the Eastern half of the state.
