Tnc bill Icdowu as tho Sundry Civil
Appropriation contains a good share of
Items which have rather a military or
naval than a civil look. Thus, tn the
measure just reported to the House, the
um of $310,1:05 is assigned to navy
yards and stations; another, of 244,
630, to armories and arsenals; a third,
of (178,856, to military posts, buildings
and roads; a fourth, of SS7,CG7, to the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth.
The Item for expenses of military con
t .tslsnleo reckoned. a civil appiopria
tlon, as are those for the Army and
avy Hospital and the Army Medical
Museum and Library Building. An
item foe' the Artillery School at Fort
Monroe finds Its way Into this conveni
ent receptacle. Tcrhaps propel ly
enough the $1,673,600 for Soldlcra'
Homos conies here, as it Is Intended for
disabled volunteers, and the same Is
true of the $202,000 for artificial limbs,
and tlii; 203,440 for uatlonal cemeteries.
The expenses of Gen. Ilnzcn's Signal
Sep lce, though under officers and men
of the army, belong to this bill, In whoso
title the omission of the . word civil
would hardly bo misleading.
Tub sale of tho Valentine Iron ore
banks to a syndicate of capitalists and
the development of that property will
give Centre county a trial for which Its
people haye long been nsklng. Tho fi
nancial men of that locality have de
clared that pig-iron conld be made there
for $0.30 per ton. and there seems to
ti.tve been reason for the faith that was
in them. Ileretoforo they have been
handicapped by tho restitctlve policy of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which charged $3 for carrjing a ton of
Iron from Centre county to New York,
while at the same time it was carrying
iron from Richmond, Va., to Now York
for only SO cents per ton. In the face
of these discriminations no capitalists
could be found who were willing to put
tlielr money into Iron ventures In that
locality; but, since a line has been sur-T.-yed
from tho Beech Crack Road to
Bcllefonte, the possibility of obtaining
competitive rates drew the attention of
capitalists to that territory with the re
sult Indicated. Thero is no reason why
Centre county cannot successfully com
pete with the South In the production
of cheap plg-lron. A famous English
iron master who visited Bellefonto a
few years ago declarod, after Inspecting
the ore banks near that town, mat pig-
, umuu in centre count j- as

The urobabilitv of Charles S. Vnlf i.n.

means notice to the Republican State
Convention to put their best foot fnre-
most in the formation of their ticket
and declaration of i.olicy. It Is a favor-
Ito amusement of certain oi-uans .mil
politicians to sneer at Mr. Wolfe as a
political cranK, but lie is not tho man
to bo put down with sneers. Ha Is n
bold, aggressive and able campaigner
aim thousands of pcopl i who will de
plore the stand ha has taken will ad
mire the courage of tho man and be In
sensibly moved in sympathy with him.
Tho cause he has espoused has now
reached a stage when It can no longer
be Ignored by the statesman or the poli
tician. As a moral Issue it appeals to
tne sympathy and judgment of human!
ty In much tho same wav that theslavn
ry Issue did when a handful of abolition
agitators were snecrod at by the pollti
cal parties and borcottedbv the mercm
tile community, who measured their
principles by the cotton-bale standard.
But their cause crew stronger nml
stronger until It overwhelmed one of the
great parties and compelled a recogni
tion or me antl-slavory principle by the
organization which took Its place. His
tory repents itself. It may not bo to
day or to-morrow, but like causes pro
duce Ilka effects In tho end. How best
te avert from the Republican nartv Mm
fate which befell the Whig party, for
ignoring a great moral Issue which by
the force of natural circumstances hail
become a political question, Is a prob
lem or snmclent magnitude to employ
all the wisdom and discretion nf Mm
men who assume tho direction of the
party's councils. As Mr. Quay recently
remarKea, llie political atmosphere this
year is not favorable for bostism, and
tho less of It developed in tho formation
of the State ticket tho less onnortunltv
will be given to men like Charles Wolfe
to recruit their forces from tho Repub
lican ranks. If wife counsels prevail
the success of the Republican party next
ian is reasonably assured; but If the
ticket Is not the very strongest that can
bo formed the hotly contested battle
that will follow will bo one of doubtful
Issue.

. smash tha heart of some heiress and
ride in his own coupe for the rest of his
, life. I don't know wliy.but there seems
to bo a sort of disgrace entailed on liv
ing at homo in tho summer. Tho man
or woman who Is unfortunate enough
to be so situated Is either looked upon
with pity by sympathizing friends or clso
wllh contempt by those who despise his
low condition. Tills Imperative demand
ot fashionable society has driven mo In
to the most disreputable white lying, to
get rid of tho Indelible disgrace of being
considered poor. "Going out of town?"
said a friend whom I met on tho street
the other day. ''I've been thinking of
It," I replied; which was literally true,
for I've been thinking of it ever since
last.ycar, and shall In all human proba
bility keep on thinking about it till the
July of 1887. I know plenty of people
who haye. good houses In tho city and
who cannot, without serious Inconveni
ence, afford tho expense of a country
trip, who would suffer tho pains of
martyrdom racier than' have It known
among their fashionable friends, that
they had remained In the city in July
and August, They will sacrifice all the
comfort and convenience of their own
homes, to poke themselves away for six
or eight weeks in somo out of the way
place where you have to pay sixteen or
eighteen dollars a week for a small, ill
ventilated room, with a straw1 bed as
hard as a board, bad coffee, toush
chickens, for they always kill all the old
snperanuated liens and roosters for sum
mer boardeis. Tho butter is half the
lime a delusion and a snare, and the
milk which, In the grass region, you
might expect to get straight, comes to
you after an Introduction to tho pump,
for fear that they would spoil your appe
tite for the Quid you arc used to at home.
I know several school teachers, male and
female, who by rigid economy can save
up two or three hundred dollars a year.
The instant the school is closed they
must rush abroad, and In the two
months of July and August they have
swamped the savings of an entire year
and mortgaged themselves for many
months ahead. I know a clerk who had
a salary of fifty dollars a month; to
board In a respectable house and drcs3
as he was expected to do would give
him no margin even for cigarettes; yet,
when he. got his two week's vacation,
last year, he borrowed fifty dollars, not
thinking how ho could possibly pay it,
and adding to It the week's salary just
due and two weeks advance, started for
Saratoga leaving his last week's board
unpaid. Ho went to thn best hotel.took
a room at five dollars a day, donned tho
new suit, for which he had not paid the
tailor, and swinging his cane started out
as a masher. He visited tho club-house
all fashionable men visit the club
house. Some one suggested poker, but
he did not understand poker; then a
tall, thin man with a dyed mustache
and mutton chop whiskers suggested
that thero was a very prettv came M"t
any gentleman could play, which was
named after the.nncientK2vntl.111 lrlncs
the only difference being that the name
was spelled plionographlcally Faro in
stead of Pharoah. My friend thought
that If the Egyptian king was a tony
game It was the proper thing for a swell
gentleman to do, and he would take a
hand In. Ho Hung down n ten dollar
bill and a mild mannered gentleman
wltn bushy whlskeis and a diamond In
his shirt bosom as big as a street lamp,
gave, him ten nice little round bits of
Ivory in exchange for it. He put down
two on the ten of diamonds, and the
gentleman sitting behind the table raked
them In; ho tried It again with alike
result and In five minutes, by (lie tick
of tho watch, his ten dollars had gone
where tho woodbine tulneth. Ills only
chance of getting square was to try an
other ten and that soon followed the
rest, and lu one hour from the time he
n.iu uuuui mo cmu-nouse no was
cleaned out. There ho was, no money
to pay his hotel bill, no money to get
home, llo borrowed fifty cents for a
telegram and sent word to his employ
ers mat he hart been robbed at tho hotel,
and they forwarded him enough of mon
ey to pay his hotel bill and set home.
Once back In the store, to hide Ills losses
and get even, ho began a series of nettv
thefts; he was soon detected and last
week was sent to tho penitentiary for
two years, a victim to tho fashionable
craze of going out of town in summer.
Brooklyn has had a lively sensation
with a couple of herelergymen, not that
either of them 1ms been at nil derelict,
but it Is the old, old story of a few old
fogy deacons and trustees trying to run
the minister. St. Luke's Is one of the
most fashionable and wealthy Episcopal
churches In tho city of llrooulyn, and
up ' turco weeks ago St. Luke's re
joiced In an assistant to tho rector, a
gentleman of unquestioned piety, lino
education and rate good looks. Not a
breath has ever been heard against him.
and to sum It up lu brief, lie was amnst
devoted and exemplary servant of Christ

There Is quite a number of marriageable
young ladles In St. Luke's conzrccatlon.

fancy dressing gowns, velvet smoking

seemed not to make tho slightest Im
pression on his flinty heart and ln
walked through tho tangled web with
unmeshed feet. Among the worship
pers ami most nevote.l communicants
was a hdy of unblemished character,
wha had passed youth's bloom but who
might yet have hung somo timo upon
tho bush and still bo worth picking. It
Is true that there were several years dif
ference between herself and the young
pastor. At any rato she distanced all
competitors and boro off tho tempting
prize. When the announcement was
made to the congregation of St. Luke.'?,
that tho minister was going to get mar
ried, It was very much Ilka the explot
Ion of Irish dynamite In tho HnglUli
ran anient House. Mnm.na uim i..i
I daughters to marry fairly run wild, and
all tho young girls of the congregation
felt ns If thev could pull tho hair out of
Hlie minister's affianced bride. At last
; they made It so uncomfortable for him
Itliat he was forced to resign; but so
manifest was the Injustlco that despite '
the loud protest of a portion ot the con
gregation tho rector performed the mar
riage ceremony for his lato assistant In
the presence of a congregation that
filled tho church from tho chancel to tho
doors.
Tho other case Is a clergyman who
had n fluo congregation and was getting
nlong swimmingly, till somebody found
out that he had separated from his wife.
As far as can he learned this wife was
not a saint, and sho exhausted his stock
of christian patience. There Is no evi
dence that ho over knocked her out or
gave her what Paddy gave the drum,
but they parted. Then a little clique
in the church tried to run the minister
and he would not be run; then came
war, open and secret, and at last ho was
accused of undue Intimacy with a mem
bci of tho church choir. The congre
gation dropped off one by one till bank
ruptcy threatened the church, and on
Sunday the hunted minister turned at
bay and. defied bis accusers from the
pulpit.
notify Ward''Bec'cher Is going abroad
to earn a little money to live on during
his yVatlon. lib fearlessly announces
that ho goes across tba water.fpr ducats,
as he has no money. What.has he done
with the vast sums he has made tn the
last twenty ycars? Afte1r- his trlal'lii's
salary was.ratsedtp $25,000 per annum;
his lectures would easily net him $10,-
000, and his writings, marriaaes and
presents $10,000 more. He had no rent
to pay, his hat was chalked wherever he
traveled, ho was entertained everywhere
with no cost at hotels and private
houses, and no.v comes tho question,
how did ho dispose of nearly $1,000 per
week? He Is not n great entertainer; ho
says himself that his money is all gone,
Is it possible that the reverend gentle
man takes an occasional flyer in stocks?
Since they have stopped the French
pools on the Coney Island race-course
there Is not the slightest suspicion of
any of his stray ducats having gone that
way. Mr. Beecher always stands up

Southern Pines, N. C, June 13, '80,
"niute! hiute! hiute!" Tho call rang
out like a huglo blast.
Tho accent was strongly marked on
tho last syllable. It sounded more like
"shoot I" than anything else. At first
wo paid uo heed to the call; but as It
continued wo investigated and iound
that It was the call of a negro who
wanted somo Information, and in that
way nttracted attention. That was
when wo first camo South. Wo have
heard It many times since heard It
from colored men, women, iu mutin
nigs" no larger than a little blue churn
onii.niuiui oi a country store. And
we have even heard the call from some
native whites.
Tho word "11111101" seems to take the
place of our Northern modo of calling
attention which finds vent in tho "hel
lo!" which is so common In all the Mid
die and Eastern States. The word "hcl
lol" Is seldom used down here excepting
by people from thn North. Indeed.lt is
regaided as vulgar and almost, If not
quite, wicked.
To me, one of the most abused words
In the English vocabulary Is tho word
"at" as It Is used in the South. The use,
or misuse, rather, - of the word seems to
be quite general. Hero are a few sample
sentences, and they may be heard on all
sides, from all sorts of people:
"Where is ho at?" "What Is he at?"
'Where Is ho stopping at?" "Where is
it at?" Where Is ho working at?"
"Where Is ho preaching at to-day?"
Ac, &c, Ac.
Then there Is the word "up." This
word Is generally abused all over the
United States. I have noticed here that
the word is almost invariably used to do.
note elevation, and not to denote geo
graphical direction. From the South
Carolina Una Raleigh would bnNoith
according to direction and the course of
tho rivers. Yet it is no uncommon
thing to hear people talk of going down
to Raleigh. Southern Pines is moro
elevated than Raleigh but it is South of
that place; yet people speak of going up
to the l'lnos.
For genuine, uncouth, yet real music.
a band of negroes working together take
the hoe-cake. They am all pious
every one of them. And tho way they
will make tho very air tingle with their
wild melody at times Is a caution to
good lungs and sensitive ears. The olh-
er day a good old undo with white top
knot and quavering voice made the air
vocal with his music as lie saug some
thing like this:
I'm a pit a pll a pil grim,
But ole satan totes mvload
I'm boun' to tell do story,
Be slory, story, sto-o-ry.
While on my n ay to glo-o-ry,
I'll sing along do road.
"You seem to bo happy, uncle."
"Oh, yes, sah. 'Deed I Is. sail."
"Sing a great deal, do you?"
"Most all de time, sah. You sec I'se
glttln' ole, and dat's 'bout all do good 1
can do is jest to sputter roun a lectio."
And the old fellow hobbled -away
singing:
' I'm a pil a pll a pll-grlm, J

Wonder is sometimes expressed that
the South Is so backward and behind the
age. Tho States are old. The lands
have been tilled for years. A nd vet there
has been little progress made. New In
ventions and labor-saving machinery arc
comparatively unknown. A clothes
wringer and a washing machine aru
novelties. But tho lightning rod ped
dler has been all through tho South.
The trouble Is that the peopln in the
South have been moving in a circle. Its
outer edge has hardly reached beyond
Portsmouth and Norfolk, Virginia. As
soon as it reaches Baltimore and New
York, rapid progress will be made.
Thero nevci was bettor opportunities

Mr. Editor: The reception given by
tho President nnd Mrs. Cleveland on
Tuesday evening last, will certainly bo
ranked In the. social annals as the lead
ing event of the decade. More than 2,
000 persons In response to Invitations,
paid their respects to the Chief Magis
trate and his bride. Tho decorations
within the buildings wcro made with
unusual taste. The East Room was a
bower, rose garlands entwined tho tinted
pillars and chandeliers, and banks of
roses rested upon the mantels. The at
tendance of diplomats was tho largest
over seen at tho White House. Nearly
every representative of foreign coun
tries present In this country was there,
many of thorn having cotno lrom Now
York expressly to pay their respects to
tho President nnd his bride, TJie.uni-
'versal verdict of thoso who wero' prCs
cnt, is that the lady of tho White House
-has scored nn Unmistakable social suc
cess. Although tha test was allying
ouo she conducted herself in such a
manner as to show that sho is quite
equal to her position.
Tho Secretary of War and Mrs. Endi-J
cott gave a dinner to tho President and
Sir?. Cleveland on Thursday night, and
on Friday evening occurred the long
looked for reception to tho general pub
lic. Tho labor strike which has delayed
the building operations In this city lor
two or threo months past has practical
ly ended, and preparations are being
made with great activity for a full re
sumption of work.
Although Congress has been busy
during the week, the legislation has
been of that character which usually
laarks tho closing week of a session.
Many bills of a private nature haye been
disposed of, and comparatively little of
Interest to the general public has been
done.
The attempt on the part of the friends
of the Morrison tariff bill to secure a
discussion of the bill on Thursday last
was defeated by a majority of seven
teen. Many of tho members have how.
ever prepared lengthy speeches in writ
ing, and have secured leave to print,
These snecches will appear in the Con
gressional Record, and will bo used as
campalgu material.
Tho experiments Instituted several
months since by Prof. Thomas Taylor,
tho mlcroscoplst of the Department of
Agriculture, with tho view of establish
ing a certain and reliable means of dis
tinguishing butter from oleomargarine
and the numerous other imitations, has
resulted In some discoveries that are
tiuly wonderful. The professor has not
only found that when butter Is placed
J - -i-vui - r-
rangemcnt of crystals Is at once re
vealed, which Is found only In butter,
and cannot bo produced In any of its
imitations; but he has by carefully ex,
aminlng specimens of butter from vari
ous creameries throughout the country,
discovered a marked difference both In
the form nnd arrangement of the crvs
tals. Further study of tho subject has
revealed tho fact that butter produced
from tho milk of any particular breed
or variety of cows has a form or ar
rangemcnt of crystallzation entirely dif
ferent from all othcrs.and that tho form
of the crystal Itself depends upon the
food with which tho cow is supplied. A
chart has been made showlnz the varla.
tion In tho forms of the butter crvstals.
which will enable a person by the aid
of a microscope not onlv to distinguish
genuine butter at a glance, but also to
know the breed of cattlo from which It
was produced, and tho food with which
the animal was supplied. The rcvcla
tlons of the microscope aro indeed won
dcrful. if.

There is nn old savltur tn the effect Hint

I hero Is an exception, even to this rule.
At n point six miles west ot St, Augustine,
Florida, on the line of the St. .tiihns Railway,

ly been laid out In iilown-slto called, Weht

it. was imiiiiicu ncpicmiicr mu, ioi.i, loriy
twn years previous to thu settlement of James
tow n. Va., and llfty.iicars before tho land
ing ol tho Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. The
name St. Augustine wus ghen to the place by
tile Spaniards, because they landed upon the
day dedicated to that rocred and learned
Saint. St. Augustlno Is growing rapidly, be
ing tlie terminus of two railways, ami others
aro being extended toward It, nnd It is now
known us the Hotel Ctrv oi' Flouida.
The proprietors and owners of Tint Ili.uk-
TIIAIKDSOPIIIF.IIN WOULD, It slXtCCII page

made in the ancikkt Citv, purchased a

Mr. Wm. Astor, of New York. Immediately
on the line of thn SL Johns- ltallwav, which Is
also owned by Mr. Astor, and In the midst of
tills tract and within two hundred feet of the
railroad, havo planted In a plot of ;uo acres
thu city of Wkst St. AUdUsriNK.
From West St. Augustine there exists
direct dally connections for tho St. Johns

In addition to this, tho tract on which is

And now comes tho strnngo feature of the
