C\, February 2.?Special: Tbe appointment to-day by the Presi dent of the Uuited States of District Attorney Holton and Marshal Milliken, of the Eastern North Carolina district, to succeed themselves for a third term each, has almost paralyzed the leaders of both wings of the Re- publican party in this State. Tbest were the only two prominent Federal officeholders which both elements of the party bad agreed should not be reappointed. > The Republican State chairman. Rollins, thought be had a cinch on tlx district attorneyship,and Congressman Blackburn, who leads the other win*, of the party, had been conceded th* marshaiship for a pesonal friend it payment for not antagonizing Rolling appointment to the office of district atattorney. Blackburn had presented the name of this friend, Clint Wagoner, of Statesville, to the President and was absolutely sure he would ge the plum, and Wagoner bad already begun preparations to take the offiict' in a few days. District Attorney uoiton and Mar- ? 4 shal Milliken have been and are still C making it very uncomfor.able for sora? of the revenue agents who have beei defrauding the Government, and th< prosecution of some of tbem is still going on in the Federal Court at Greensboro. It is said that the department of justice, being pleased with the official record of these officials, took h hand in the fight and urged tne President to reappoint both men, with the ^ result so unexpectedly announced to the politicians of this State to-day. * Charleston and Western Carolina R. b Augusta and Aaheville Short Line.

Do Not Want Straagon to See Tinti Household Arrangements. It soems to be a part of the real sim ;>licHy of the Italian Latin to put oq a juito useless look of mystery on all occa lions, and to assume the air of a conspirator when buying a cabbage, and more ;han one great foreign writer has fallen nto the error of believing the Italian iharacter to be profoundly complicated. Due is apt to forget that It needs muob leeper duplicity to maintain an appear ince of frankness under trying ciroumitances than to make a mystery of one'* narketing and a profound secret of one's sookery. There are few things which the ioor Italian more dislikes than to be ivutclied when he is buying and preparing lis food, though he will ask any one to ihare it with him when It is ready, but he s almost as prone to hide everything else hat goes on inside his house unless he hat !air warning of a visit and full time to )repare himself for it. This is perhaps not entirely a race pecularity. but rather a survival of mediaeval ife as it was all over Europe. There are iretty clear Indications in our own literaure that the ladies and gentlemen of two ir three hundred years ago did not like to )e caught unprepared by Inquisitive vlslt>rs. The silks aDd satins In which they ir? nnrtravfirt wonld not have 'lasted a life lime, as they did, If they bad been worn ivery day. As for the cleanliness of those lmes, the less said about it the better. In Borne there was a long period during vhlch not a single aqueduot waa in workng order, and it was a trade to clear a sup>ly of water out of the Tiber from a porion of the yellow mud by letting it settle n reservoirs, and to sell it in the streets or all household purposes. Who washed n those days? It is safer to ask the quesion now than it would have been then. Probably those persons washed who were he fortunate owners of a house well or a alnwater oistern, and those who had lelther did not. Perhaps that was very nuch the same all over Europe. It Is oeralnly to the credit of Trastevere that it li >ot a dirty plaoe today by Italian stand urds.?Marlon Crawford in Century. MARY ANDERSON'S WARDROBE. yh?n She Bkd bat One 8te|t Costame i For Five Five Act Flaja. Three months elapsed between Mary Anderson's first appearance on the stage ,nd her second performance, "a beart ireaklng Interval," writes Mrs. De Naarro Id The Ladies' Home Journal. Manger Macauley of Louisville then offered ler his theater again for a week, and shs resented the chief roles In five plays? 'Fazio," "The Hunchbaok," "Evadne," 'The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo and ruliet." Of her first week's engagement he writes: "At the end of the week I was n debt to the manager for the sum of 81, he house having been large enough only o cover the running expenses. All I had ained by a week of bard work was a sad leart and a very sore throat Besides, redttors 'became unpleasantly importulate, (or my soanty wardrobe was nob yet aid for. This consisted of a white satin iress, simply made, which did service for 11 the parts. It sparkled in silver triraalng for Juliet, was oovered with pink oses for Julia, became gay In green and ;old for Evadne and oloudy with white aoe for Pauline. The unfoztunate gown wed its many changes to the nimble and rilling fingers of my mother, wbo spent QQoh time each day in Its metamorphoses. "A train of velveteen, a white muslin Iress and a modern black silk gown, rhloh, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought would be so useful,' but which had to be iiscarded after its first appearance, competed my wardrobe?surely a meager one or five plays of five acts each, requiring t least 12 gowns. We bad bnllfe up inanolal as well as artistic hopes for that reek and were disappointed in both. But b proved more successful than was at first bought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar, ne of the greatest Falstaffs of his time, ngaged me for six nights at hlB St. Louis heater. At the end of that time I found ayself in his debt for the sum of f000, but be honses had steadily Improved, And th?. ress was filled with long artloles enthu lastlo about the present and fall of protations about the future." The Swiss Band* The Swiss bands marched to the mosta f fife and drum or of their own voioes, be notation of one of their marobing ongs being still preserved. The forest antons also Bent a horn with their oomanies, wbioh instruments were known y nicknames, Bull of Uri, Cow of CJnterralden, and the like. Their sound was jag a note of terror to the men of Auaria and Burgundy, and made a grand allying cry for the Swiss in action. But part from this, these horns appear to be tie origin of the bugle horns which still ppear on the appointments of our light ofantry, and have displaced the drum as be distinctive instrument of the foot sollar.

I ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES Explorer Borcbgrevink Thinks There Be a Future For Commerce There. The recent Antarctic expidition waa a commercial one, and commercially It was a failure, because we did not find the right whale, bo valuable for its whalebone. The Antarotlo was fitted out for tbe bunt of that particular kind of whale; nevertheless I bave no doubt that tbe commercial result of the expedition would have been much better bad we worked under more favorable auspices. I do not by any means consider the faot of our not having met with the right whale in those seas as conclusive proof of their nonexistence in tbe buy at Victoria Laud. The Antarctic found the right whale at Campbell island in the winter time; the boats fastened to five of them, of which, however, only one was caught. Now, to mo it does not seem improbable that these whales go south to the bay of Victoria Land, where Ross saw them, In the summer, and return north in the win tfir. It would seem incredible that a man 01 oxr Ofimea rwot*s B&auuiufj, auppuriuu t?a be was by able soientists and experienced whalers, should have made a grave error whon he said that thi/valuable whale was to be found In large numbers in those southern latitudes. The dlfleronce In the appearance of the blue whale, as we found It there, and the right whale, in the method of spouting, is so striking that even the most casual observer could not easily be deceived.- Very possibly, had we penetrated farther into the large open bay discovered by Ross in the vicinity of the volcano peaks Erebus and Terror, we, too, would have found the right whale in great numbers. We saw very many blue whales, but had not ths appliances to take them. As I remarked at the international geographical congress, we found few soals. They inoreased, however, in number as we worked eastward, and seemed afraid Of the land. All of the seals that we met on the shore showed muoh uneasiness, and speedily made for the water, a fact which strengthened my belief in the existence ol | a large enemy of the seal on the continent. I do not doubt that the seals congregate together in larger numbers at some places on the bay. I consider the guano beds which we discovered of great commercial importanoe, and they ought to be well worth the attention of enterprising business men. The specimen whloh I brought back with me oontains a large percentage of ammonia. Furthermore, from the analysis of the MAAlmAn mlitnK T Kw\ii(vKf. Kan b" i B|reuiUiOU Ui Awa TTU1VU A isawuquw with me, the possible and probable presence of valuable minerals on the oontinent Is proved, although the lava and the volcanic aspect of tho ooast line do not speak favorably for the presence of heavy metals near the surface.?C. E. Borchgrevink In Century. How thi Chine** Count Tim*. The Chinese sundial embodied the usual prlnolple, but was crude indeed. A rod or needle Mt upright refleoted a shadow on a flat surface as the sun moved. On this were characters indicating the hours of the day. Tbe Chinese also used a water dock called tbe clepsydra. It was a disk of copper or other material, with an extremely small aperture, from wblob the water trlokled, drop by drop. The olepsydra of Canton is thus described by a traveler: "It is a vase of oopper. It is situated in a pavilion built on a double aroh that orosses a street leading from the great south gate of the oity to the palaoe of the treasurer of the Drovlnce. Like that which existed, and perhaps exists still In the Peking observatory, it is composed of four oopper vases, whence water runs from one to another by little tubes*flxed at the base. The vase that rests on the floor has on Its wooden oover a kind of handle, crossed by a rule mounted on a float and ooveeed with characters representing the hours. When the water has run out?that Is, in the morning or evening?it is poured again Into the uppermost vase. There is a little briok staircase by whloh the attendant ascends. "In the temples there are attendants whose business It is to hang up a placard, with a white ground, on \thioh is indicated the hour. They strike the hours of the day on a drum, and at night they beat a gong. The attendants who thus look after the flight of time occupy the Intervals between in making stloks of Incense, on which are marked the hours. These are sticks so arranged as to burn a certain length of time for every hour, and these are used by peasants and others. The Btlok is lighted when the gong sounds, and in this way the private Individual oan keep very tolerable aocount of the boon as they pass."?New York Ledger. Painting the Lily. Painting the lily has beooxne a literal fact, not merely the poet's notion of the wildest exaggeration. An army officer's wife, writing from an out of the way western town, tells of ayonng woman out there, "quite the most refined person here she is, too, who related to me, with much pride, an Idea of her own whioh she bad oarrled out for a recent silver wedding 'I cut some of our annunciation lilies,' she explained, 'and pasted silver paper in strips on the outside of the flowers. They were very much admired.' " This western artist (?) is equaled and outdone by a Berlin soolety woman who Bet out her dinner board lately with exquisite flowers, on which mottoes and quotations were painted In gold, silver and various colors. On a deep purple heartsease was a greeting in cream oolor on Its surface, and other flowers had been equally disfigured, at great expense of misguided kill and money.
