The great spectacular representa- tion of "Paris from Empire to Com- mune" which has just been inaugu- rated at Manhattan Beach is said to be the most interesting of the whole series ot outdoor s|>ect»oIes which Mr. Paiu has yet given. The colos- sal scenery exhibits a fine view of Paris and shows, in n very distinct manner, many of the principal build- ings and places of interest in* the French capital. The spectacle first presents the city under the reign "t Emperor Napoleon III, then shows the occupation of the capital by the German troops with the Crown Prince at their bead, after which is ghen tbe reign of the Coinmuuc and the burning of the sit*. The principal fire-work display is given in the first part which represents tlic night of the Emperoi's fete. This scene shows the city magnificently illumi- nated while the revels or the carnival arc in progress. The stage is ISO feet long, and the representation is life like anil grand.

Goldthwalte'c Magazine. Dr. II. Carnngton Uolton, in oue

of his recent lectures, told ol visit- ing tbe little island of Niihau, one of tbe smallest of tho Huwaiiau gronp, and ol the pleasant days be spent there as tbe guest of the only white family on tbe island. This ia tbe family of Mr. George S. Gav, and tbe entire island has been own- ed by this family for twenty-five years past. The family includes Mr. aud Mrs Gay and three or four children, and, except for an occa- sional guest, they seldom see any white people. Tbe island is a great sheep ranch, embracing about 70,- 000 acres, and with a native popu- lation of less than 100, all that re- main of nearly 1,000 natives who in 1832 inhabited the island. Even in this favored spot, where Mr. Gay has done everything in bis power to preserve tbe natives Iroin

An exchange well says : A large majority of all classes, conditions and sexes, intelligent aud ignorant alike, greatly multiply the suffer- ing and perils ot hot spells by sys- tematically tooling with tbe exces- sive beat. They fluiry and bother about it and put themselves into needless pio&lration ; they begin early in tbe morning to gorge their stomachs, already made sensitive by unusual beat, with Ice water, ice soda, ice cream, ice cold beer, and wage tbe fool's warfare with heat until they are prostrated by 8ick« neas. In short, they fool with the hot spell until they bring upon themseves the worst possible results

from it. The few wise people who have

studied bow to ilisann hot spells and have courage enough to carry ll out philosophically, fsce the hot, sweltering morning serenely, dress comfortablv, oat sparingly, drink uioi e sparingly than they ear, and iio about their necessary labors with deliberate care. They never fume or liei ; uevei fuss;and waltz around to si nko a temperature ten or twen ty degrees above tbe Ihei'uoineter, aud Ibej set aside lor a cooler sea- son all oppressive labors that can be postponed.

Of course, there am many per- sons who inns expose themselves to the severu heat. Laborers, bui'ders and others whose occupa- tions must be conducted under the blazing sun, o.iu tioistly mitigate the serious effects of excessive beat by temperance in all things—in I ewr, iu dunk, in food, and above all temperance in temper. Roofers and others working on buildings should avoid work if possible in se- vere hot spel's. If they must work they should protect their beads by damp clot Its or a fresh cabbage leaf, on the boad under tbe hat, aud they should at onoe stop work when they feel dizziness or nausea of the stomach, for they are danger signals that all should respect.

Two-third* of all the n'.ious suf- fering from hot spells comes from people fooling with heat. Iu tropi- cal climes, where our hottest spells would be temperate summer weath- er, the people suffer less from heat than do the people of our generally comfortable climate. They never

A 9ood Dog Story.

A Newfoundland dog was one day sitting on a wooden bridge over a very s.vitt stream, discussing

bone, wben a predatory pug came along, and a smart altercation arose over the bone. So violent became the debate that both suddenly over- balanced, and fell Into the stream beneath.. The nearosc landing- place was a hundred yards down, and to it the Newfoundland betook himself without much difficulty, and after a good, shake, was preparing to depart when be suddenly be- came aware that the pug was hav- ing a very hard time of it—wildly beating the water, add showing every symptmosot exhaustion. Oue look was eiougb. In went the shaggy-coated fellow, and, seizing tbe other by tbe collar, brought his late enemy safe to land. The t wo dogs then eyed each other with in- describable expression for some see- conds; then aolmnly wagged tbeir respective tails, and with dignity departed.

Counting at tho rate of 200 a minute, for twelve hours every day, hot work in the heated season, it would take 0,944 days, or about ninetceu years, to count a billion.

A billion dollars in silver dollar j pieces, falling on the ground with' twilight's dew J, would cover shout 360 acres, considerably moro than half a square mile.

A billion dollars would pay the salaries ot 20,000 Presidents of I he United states ; and it in dagwr bills laid in line, they would form a belt about 114,500 miles long, going around the earth nearly five nines

make, as we nre told, if spun to- gether in one large sheet ami then cut up into pieces ol the proper alft| dresses for nearly 1,000,000 women, or more tnnu 2,000,000 children.

A billion dollars would pay for the education of 250,000 child ten fiom the kindergarten coun-n through college.

Tbe weight of the average man is 135 pound: ; hence it would take an army of more than 530,000 average men to turn tho scales against a billion silver dollars.

We often mm persous make tho remark that tbey can mako money but, cannot save it As A matter of fact the explanation of the larger share of poverty iu tbe woild lies not in a lack of industry so much as iu a lack of economy. Did oven half tbe people lay up what they might from their earnings the num- ber of tho wealthy wonld be greatly ! drowned in the Capo Pear increased. There wonld too, tn this j WeWamy. event, bo fewer cuormous fortunes accumulated.

For it is a truth, though unwill- ingly admitted to be so, that the few get vas,ly rich because the many aro not prudeut iu taking core o| whnt tbey earu. Every man who resolves to live within his in- come and persistently stands to that resolution removes himself from the risk of becoming a prey for specu- lators.

The trouble is really to some ex tent lii not knowing how It re- quires no email share ol intelligence to employ money to advarlage; so that every dollar shall do a dollar's service. This is a form of common sotl.'e that i- very mi ttom being common. Some iu their efforts in this direction develop a stinginess that does not ami should not noni- nieiiil issell to general ailmiratioi.. but the practice of prudent econo- my which has in it nothing of nig- gardliness demands a soundness of judgment I bat is decidedly rare.

The number of those who become rich without being uuduly close or unjustly grasping is very small.

Some, however, know hotter thau they are willing to do. The> aie not willing to subject Ibeinselvi's to the sacrifices which they recognize as necessary to accumulation. They cannot bring themselves to lorege the gratification ol their tastes though aware that such gialloca- tion is nnwise. Thus one young man spends a considerable sum in cigars, another mnoh moro than is needful iu dress, and others are lured into extravagance by fond- ness for fashionable nninsements. Pet hups tlicss are never at t be pains to count np the little amounts spent for things which they would lmvo dispensed with generally without hurt ant| sometimes with postive advantage.

Nay, some of those who indulge in these ioolish expenditures aro very loud in their oomplaints of be- ing t'nfaiily treated.

Conductor Linstex was seriously hurt about tho hoad und body, bio injuries being danger- ous; Flagman Morrison had his right haad and arm so badly crushed that amputation was necessary, and the colored brakeman was killed. It will 'akc several days to repair the wreck and in the meantime passen- gera and mail arc being transferred.

Wilmington Star: Col. Hall exe pects about five hundred State pen- sioners to attend the reonion to be held at the Encampment grounds this snmmcr. Kvery arrangement is being made for their comfort and pleasure. A colored woman named Sikcs, living on Ninth street near Brunswick, made complaint last night against a colored man named Oeorge Bowdcn, who she claimed had assaulted and knocked ber dpwn on Bladen street. Deputy Sheriff Shee- han and a police officer went in search of Bowden, bat failed to find him. They ascertained, however, that after assaulting tbe woman Bowdcn had gone to her house and beaten her son, a cripole about fifteen years old, and intli ed serious injuries. The boy had t aevere scalp wound, caused by a blow f.-orn a stick; and the Door was covered with his blood. Bowdet. made his escape before the ofneem arrived at the house. The canoe of the difficulty between himself and the woman Slkoa eonld not be ascer- tained,

Mr. Wm. II. Bailey, of Concord township, was wounded at Kinstoa on the 14th of December, 18«2. The ball ■•ntered his left thigh and though the surgeons probed for it they could not find it. It has given him much pain at intervals ever since, causiag supperation at two spots in the thigh. On the (list day of June while be wea working in the field he felt what !■• knew to be the ball catch in his ne- dcrclothing, ami he stopped work and nicked il out It was a ml mole ball, mashed out of shape. It had worked down and around tbe bone and came out on the other side of tha thigh from that it had entered. Than after 28 years, I months and 17 days Mr. Bailey was relieved of his almost constant reminder of Burnside. sad as a consequence he feels a good deal better.—Statcsvillo Landmark.

f The Durham Fertilizer Com- panv, who ore making what '".-v^w called an Alliance brand of fertili-l s*~$p ter, have placed themselves in an unenviable muddle. The new law requires that every sack of fertili- ser offered for sale in this State. shall be tagged. A lot of this

i Durham company's goods were seized at Mebane, some weeks ago, which was not tagged, the untagged sacks being packed in the centre of the car load. Some of the goods was analyzed and found to be worth over f 2 per ton less than it was guaranteed. A long investigation followed, and about the time the company were publishing a card trying to ex- plain matters another lot of their goods was seized at Oifonl with- out tags, and which the analysis showed was oyer $3 per ton lew than guaranteed value. The Com- missioner of Agriculture ordered the company to return the short- ago in value to the Mcbane pur- chasers. The Oxford investiga- tion has not ended. We have

rates and MUST heard of come Pitt county farmers .VASCE. The ! ► i wuo purchase,} this fertilizer this

season and are finding that it is not near so good as last season. Borne of them are under the impiession. that the company will bo requiied to return to them the same amount that was ordered returned to the Mebane par- chases, but they will find this to be a mistake, as the return was ordered only where upon analysis by tho Agricultural department the goods were found to bo short in value.

lion. E. T. Nesbitt, State Com-

missioner of Agriculture of Geor- gia, in Iris report calls the atten- tion of the farmers to the fact that they mast raise more products for home consumption and less cot- ton. From an agricultural stand* point he says our history can be divided into three periods- "In the first we find the people living in rough houses, working small patches with rude implements, their wants supplied to ■ great ex- tent from tho game with which the woods abounded. Truly a primitive period of agriculture! In the second we find the small patch developed into the wide field of Virginia soil, diligently cultivated, and as a result, tho overflowing barus, crowded with everything to make the home a place of bounteous content. There were well filled cribs, the sleek cattle grazing on the hillside, the fat porkers grunt- ing their satisfaction; tho hospi- table home wheie peace and plenty reigned, the contented and prosperous farming class. But now mark the third era. To-day in many sections, we find land too gullied and furrowed from want of care that wo stand amazed at the destruction and wondoringly ask ourselves if this waste can ever«be restored ? Agriculture is depressed, discontent everywhere- It has required years to bring us to our present depressed condi- tion, and it will require years for us to get back to our former period of plenty." The commis- sioner then goes on to explain the can%jp.of this depression and to shoif the way out. The chief caa^was the high prices of cot- ton just after the war which caus- ed farmers to rush into raising it to the exclusion of other neces- sary tiiiugu, and thus bring a heavy drain upon their lands. And to get oat of this dilemma we must adopt common sense and soumd business principles in farm ecoBABuy, We must live upon our {aims, and look upon them as our homes for life, work and re- rliinaihm. —A *T " diversity of crops maj».everytLing needed in food supplies. Labor not especi-» ally for immediate results, as has been largely the case in the past, but labor and make improvements t hat will repay us in years to come. We can never prosper as long as our corn cribs and meet houses are in the "Western States, while both can be raised here just for a little more than it takes to pay the freight on them here.

Mills, told us Saturday that be had invented a tobacco hanger that he thought wonld bn a good thing. He did not have a model along to show ns hut explained how it is construe: cd. lie pots up plain sticks from which project ordinary screw hooks, then the tobacco leaves ure strung on a 2-l'eet straight wire and then tbe wires are placed in the hooks, not lengthwise the stick but across from one stick to the other. It is only necessary to remove the wires after a barn is cured and the slicks can remain in one position without being handled after first put up if desired.

Satti Changtt. Last week Agent Moore received

his schedule or new rates from Green- ville to points on the W. & W. road as revised by the Railroad Commis- sion. The RiFi.ECTon gives below a few of the changes, showing both :he old and new rate:

Ofcl Oat Wstermllyun I The watermelon sent the RSFLECTOU

by Mrs. Anderson Saturday morn- ing, was kept all day in a conspicu- ous place at the office, and made in any a darkey's mouth water. It was not a little amusing to see them step up and eye it longingly, and withdraw with a groan when they found it was not for sale. A party of women were going by when one spied It and ex- claimed: "Jes' look at dat water* milyun!" and the whole crowd walk- ed in to admire and thump it. They stood around as if they never wanted to go anywhere else—unless a water- melon was there. When one of them inquired, "Mistab, w'at ycr ax fer dis?" and was tolu that it coqld not be bought, she said, "I'se walked scbenteen miles dis mawnin' and thj't sho' J'd eat er watcrmilyun, Dis Is do fust un l'sc eben lade eyes on an' now I kant git dat." And she left looking like tbe 4th of July was a poor day without a watermelon.

Karrled SATCIIWEI.L-WH.MAM8—On Mon-

Move, first passed up the aisle, being followed by little Misses Gertrude Williams and Hennic Sbeppard. Behind these came tbe bride with Dr. W. M. B. Brown and the groom with his best man, Mr. J. B- Jonos.

After the oeremoay a reception was held at the home of Mrs. E. A. Sbeppard, sister of tbe bride. They received a number of nice presents.

ing Saturday evening was not so successful as was wished, though there was a good sised gathering present. The day was celebrated by tbo colored people, and so many of them were in town that tbe business men could not leave their places, nor could tin ladies come out to the speaking.

But all who attended found a rlob treat in store for them The address of Mr, G. B, King was an admirable one and as patriotic as our people have ever had an opportunity of bearing. The speaker was frequent- ly applauded. No. synopsis of the

notica.ol Mr. D;inlcn, Hi ton M* WilniingtonVott'"'^ after hi* death and: parted in an oiil memorandum book, A fcipy of which 1 send you. Tin article is Iseadci, "The Heaviest Man on "Historic Heccnl," and is as

follows: "Miles Daiilpn, probably 'ho lar-

gest man on Itooud, bun in North Carolina, died in Henderson county, Tennessee, January 23, 18.17. He was seven teet nino inches high, and in 1842 weighed 871 pound* At his death, his weight was a :ittle over 1,000 pounds. 1'ntil 1813, he was ac.ivs and lively and was ablu Is) labor, hat from that lime w-.« obliged to stay at lioinu or bu hauled about in a two IH.ISU iv.-iiion. In 1839 Ins

coat was butloned around threo men each of them wcrgliin-j :u*re than 200 pounds, who walked together in it across the square at L-xington. In 1850 It required thirteen and a half yards of cloth one yard wide to make him a coat. His colliu was eight

feel long, thirty-live inches deep, thirty-two inches across liie head, and fourteen iuchei across the feet, and twenty-live yards of black velvet

was required to cover the sides and lid. He was twice married and his chili.rcn are very large, thongh

probably none of tliem will ever reach half the weight of their father."

In a letter to the Atlanta Conatitu- I'OK Mr. Edward Atkinson says:

'•That tliw colored people do not ask anybody to take care of them, and that the fact is apparent lo every Northern man who comes South." This is a very satisfactory aim ission

and we hope that Mr, Atkinson's opinion will be more largely shared in the luiiirc at the North. The

trouble has been that many at the North have considered it their special, ^Only • day's journey, Majesty," dm? be take undsr thsir guardian- ship the negro race at the South, and this voluntary protection has been more of a political character than

any other. .It has seemed to grow in iiitensitv abont tiio time of election*, and the peculiar care thus manifest- ed remarkably weakens alter such events. The colored race is getting along very sjcjl in the South; there is noAs§#g4as>m between it and the whia rife, and if Northern Iiepub-

llnngarj- which is only another ren- dering of the '-Emiieror and the Abbott" adapted apparently to a sly attack up** the Catholic Church. Rendered into English this Slat ok

■Uirj; run' as follows: Once -ipon a lime there lived in a

V ilsge a doivmight stupid but very

rich miller; whatever he Moft in hand prospered, nad laughingly he

used to say, "'1 he dollnrs rain down the chimney for me." The miller was a Catholic, but had an only brother who, lo please his wife, had turned Protestant, and was in all I lungs the very opposite of the miller. He was shrewd, prudent, industrious aud teeiperate; but uo matter what he took in hand luck eras against him, until at length he became so poor that be had lo herd his brother's sheep for a livelihood. Whenever

they met the miller used to say to his brother, -'Ah, yes! this is a visi> tation from God; whv didst thou be- come Lutheran, and loisake the church of thy fatherV" To this the shupherd invariably answered, "Yes, brother, you Catholics have the gold, but God has given us Protestants in

telligence, I stand by the latter.

So the years passed, and the miller grew ever richer, and at last so far forgot himself that be caused to be

written in large gold letlcis ou his house: • I know no car.."

One day the King Matthias came ruling by the miller's house and read the strange inscription. He imme- diately ordered llic miller to be brought to him, and asked him: "How comes it that yen have no en re?

I am your king, and yet 1 know well enough what euro is.:' \Siinpciing like a boiled trout on the table of a Jesuit Father, the miller replied:

"Ob, yes! I have no cares, for 1 have plenty of money, and no need to bother my brains." "Oh, indeed:"

retorted the king, ".-ic.ee you don't know what care is, I will soon teach you." The king then set him three questions with the understanding

that if he were not ready with a so» lotion within a week, he would cause all his possessions to be conliscated. The three questions were: FirsI, How far is it to heaven? Second, How high do you value me? Third, What am I thinking about ibis min- uter* The king then rode on", and left the miller a prey to enrking care. In vain lie puzzled Ins head over the

king's questions; no answer was forthcoming. On thu last day of the week he went to his brother in the Held, and laid his trouble before him. The shepherd, laughingly, replied:

■•We are as much alike as two eggs. Let ine put on your clothes, and I will go a*, once to the king and answer his questions." He then

quickly slipped on hi.- brother's clothes, and went to the king, who at once propounded the first question: "Well, how far is it to heaven?"

answered the shepherd, "for Jesus promised the thief on. the cross that he should that day be with Him in Paradise." The king laughed, and set him the second question: "How

high to you value me?" "I cannot put your Majesty's worth at more than twenty-nine pieces of silver," replied the shepherd. "Christ was betrayed for thirty pieces, and your Majesty is probably worth one piece less." The king laughed heartily at the shrewdness of the answer, and

propounded his third and last ques» tion: "Now, miller, what am I thinking about at this minute?" "His Majesty thinks he is talking to

the miller, but it is not so, I am only the miller's brother." "Well," said

j the king, "I am delighted with thy shrewdness, and I will make thee

richer than the brother who has cheated rac, but whom 1 forgive for thy sake." Then he gave rich gifts to the shepherd, who returned to his brother and told him all that bad occurred, ending with, "We Protes- tants find in the Bible both sword and shield."

While a number of couuties in the State have made appropriation.". and some of them liberal ones, to

defray the expenses of a county ex- hibit at the Industrial Exposition to be held in Raleigh, some have re- fused and mauy have taken no ac- tion at all. This is to be regretted. Every county in the State should be represented at this exposition, for it is not simply a State Fair bat a Southern Inter-State Exposition,

where North Carolina will stand in comparison aide by side with other States.

"What does your husband do?" asked a traveller of a slatternly woman whom he found living in a

little old cabin in the backwoods. "Well," was the reply, "he's one

o' these bandy, gifted sort o' persons my man is. He kin jest turn his hand to anything.

"He's a blacksmith by perfession but he cooked in a res'rant in town most o' last winter, and he done

kyarpentin' and paintin' all spring and then he lectured on temperance awhile antil he got a chance to run an mgine for a month or two, and then he dug wells and hung walls

paper until he got a good chance, to lay brick at three dollars a day."

"And what is he doing now?" ask-

ed the amused guest. "Tcachin' singin'-school, but he

allows to give it up pretty soon, and go to practisin' medicine. He kin

do anything he's a mind lo turn his hand to." -
