"And yet," muses the Atlanta Constitution, "the jtime is easily within the memory of middle aged men when the total railway mileage of the country was less than 110,000." 1 The disappearance of the Jiin Fisk restaurant recalls to an old New Yorker that there were as cheap restaurants in New York forty years ago as uow. In (the fifties there was a famous cheap restaurant on Chatham Square. Here one _ could buy for coats a good slice of ) beef with potatoes aad turnips. For 6 J s cents raoro one could have plum pudding with rich sauce. Thus one obtained for 12i cents, the ol I York shil ling, a wholesome ani satisfying meal, and not always in bad company. Several young men in New York ' thought it a good joke, relates the Atlanta Constitution, to mako one of their set think that ho had inherited and would soon receive a fortuno of $14,000,000 from an uncle in Europe. The news got out and the heir was flooded with solicitations from tho merchants and money-lenders. Ho began to live in. the style of a Monte Cristo, and now refuses to believe that lie hft? ho?n ceived. Tho doctors say he will carry ^rbis delusion through life. A writer in tho North American Roview implores Amoricaus to "build up tho body, build up the body," lest an excess of brain development result in a physical collapse. Not long ago, comments tho New York World, a distinguislied scientist told us that the average American of to-day has a better body than tho average Greek of tho palmy days of Olympiads. What is a layman to believe wheu the doctors themselves thus disagree? The chances are he will soou begin to s aspect that tho pessimists have been doing too much preaching about athletics and that nineteenth century Americans are getting along as well as could be expected of them in the matter of physical development. The latest reports from Russia indicate that the harvest prospects are even more discouraging than they were one year ago, and apprehensions are felt that there will be a renewal of the lainino which has excited such world-wide sympathy. Iu the Caucasus locusts have destroyed the crops, while in other sections they have been ravaged by worms. Throughout the famine-stricken district the stock of grain which was in store when the scarcity commenced has now been exhausted, and if there shall bo another failure of the crop the distress will be simply appalling. It is certainly to be hoped that more favorable conditions may be lound to exist when the harvest is fully gathered. The demolition of Heligoland going ou apace. Five military watch towers are being erected on the island, which is 6lowly but surely crumbling a way. One of them, a correspondent states., is just baginniug to appear at the South Point, the rock which ri363 sheer and red above AIOUI. % m A >1 ? t ... , ,U L VUO >T.IVUU V.lljf U>VU SU'jrL years ago that point was the loneliest, loveliest spot ou the sunny, silent island, and serve! the superannuate J, weather-boateu fishermen as a station, whence thoy looke i out when a stor.n was brewing, or whon the Ashing fleet was overduo. Now bricks and mortar cover tiio deep grass; the primitive seats have disappeared, and the Germ in bluecoat reign3 supreme. Close to the Government IIouso, in the fields, a powder warehouse is being built, and over the graves 01 tho old Frisiau Kings th3 walls of big barracks are risiug. ^ %K . ^ Garden and Forest pleads for the reservation of n Southern forest tract as a public park, and it thinks lioan Mountain, cn the boundary line of North Carolina and Tennessee, the ideal tract for the purpose. Among the trees to bo found on its slopes are varieties of the magnolia, ash, oak, maple, linden, birch, pine, spruce, chestnut, wild cherry, tulip tree, walnut, hickory and the hemlock. Many of thc3o attain a great height and girth, particularly the ash', the hickory and the hemlock. Among the loftiest, of the trees is rue snowdrop, or halesia, which is free of branches for one hundred feet from tho ground. The work of destruction among the forests of the South is going on at an alarming rate. A correspondent says that in the I)oe River Valley, which runs into the flank of the Roan Mountain, no fewer than twenty sawmills are in constant operation, and the stumps of monarch6 of the forest are to be seen on very hand.

Whereas, The last General Asscm- < bly of North Carolina failed to pass a i bill reducing tho legal rate of interest to 0 per cent.; and whereas we endorse tho positiou of those who used their efforts 1 aud votes to pass such a measure, there- i fore, 1 Wc demand of our General Assembly j at its next session to pass a bill seducing the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent. Wc demand of our General Assembly ] at its ucxt session the passage of a 6ccret i ballot law, with a provision in said law < that will secure to voters who cannot t read an opportunity to vote.

Whereas, it is believed by mauy that there will be an effort to repeal the Railroad Comission bill or cripple it by amendments; therefore We demand of the next General Assembly of North Carolina that it shall sustain the present Railroad Commission bill, that no amendments lessening or hampering the power of the Commissioners shall be passed, and that only amendments (if any at all) such as may or will increase the efficiency of the Comission and perfect the machinery and details of the same, shall be enacted into law. Columbia, S. C.?Tillman elected by 20,000 raajori?v. The Tillmanites carry 00 out of 35 counties.

Tillman carries the , other counties with ? veto of 37, ; 000. In an interview Conservative Chairman , Dibble said: "I believe we are dc- , fcatcd by 15,000 votes. We are Demo crats and of course expect to abide the ] result of the Democratic primary." The biggest surprise of the campaign is the defeat of the brilliant John P. J flemphill, of Chester, now representing ( the Fifth distiict in Congress. It was thought that he was impregnable in his ' district. WHAT OOOD HOAD8 WOULD MEAN. Thry would make it possible for ?he farmer to take advantage promptly of the highest market, no matter at what, season of the year. They would save him days and weeks of time which he wastes eveiy \ear wallowing through the disgusting mire of dirt roads. Thcv would reduce to a minimum tlm I wear and tear on wagons and cuiiages. They would lessen the expense of keeping horses in working order and vastly less hoises would be required in the country to perforin the farmer's work. They would require less expense to keen them in repair than do the dirt roads. They would make it easier for a team to pull several tons over their smooth surface than to drag a wagon through the mud. They would afford ready communication with the outside world at all timc3 of the year. They would spare the farmer many vexations and nervous s rains. They would practically shorten the distance to the local market. They would iucreaso the demand for country and suburban property. They would be free from dirt and dust in summer nnd mud and ruts in fall, winter and sj ring. They would biing every farming community into closer social relations. T\\(Iv waiiIiI inol'/i on ? pleasure instead of a vexation, ns it is now. They would do away with the ftburd poll tax and supervisor system in p'aces where it is still in use They would be, in short, the best possible investment to the tax payer, if built and enred for by the National Govern mcnt and paid for by a national tax. All these they would do, unless experience goes for naught. ?Rural World Charleston, 8.

C.?The New York papers say fresh figs are being shipped to New York from California. If this is so why ran not wo here in North Carolina send them in much be.ter condition. To-day (July 82d) figs arc retailing in Raleigh markets for twenty-five cents per peck and the crop from now until frost will be very largo. I am going to make an experimental shipmcut for the benefit of our growers and believe thit tlicy can le shipped in strawberry boxes aud crates just ns well,or better, tbau strawberries are. Figs all over Eastern North Carolina can be grown as successfully and of as tine nnnlitr n? ?nv?vhAni in fi.ur..? %>? r" i j ,,m "**; ,mv,v ,m vm'mv.m'u, ana if we once gel our slow people stirred up to their interest in the matter, they nrc sure to "git th?rc" in the end. The interest in the tig crop is increasing here I have distributed in the Inst three years over 6,000 tig trees from the North i'aro linn 8 ntion of our thirty varieties of the choicest tigs of Italy and the Levant, and am beginning to sec some of the results. \Vc have had recently 8nn Pcaro tigs, which weighed a quarter of a pound each. These wero of the first crop, which is always large in size of fruit. These early figs set in late autumn and remain dormant all winter and swell out in spring when the winter is not so severe as to injure them. Many of them get nipped by frost and the early crop is never so large as the later ones. The second ? r main crop is now coming on, and is unusually abuudaut, and will be until frost I have suggested to onr growers and wish to lepent it here, to take the figs when ripe, but not too soft, wrap each ? ticaiM pnwr and pack snugly in itrawherry boxes, ana iticu - ? ? ? lot longer than thirty-two in a crate, and [ aui sure they will reach the northern dties in good order. A number of farmers have written to lie for directions for drying fig*. I have ouud the following the best plan : Take ,vcll-ripeued. figs, make a strong lyc of mrdwood ashes, dip the figs iu the lye, insc and wipe dry with a soft cloth, ind dry in any of the cheap, portable ivaporators. When dry pack in boxes lust as figs nrc packed abroad. A lye nndc of washing soda will answer, but s not so good as wood ashes lyc. The ibject is to remove tho acidity of the skins, lhe hgs can a'so bo treated in this way and then instead of drying, preserve them in the old-fashioned way, in syrup: Put them up in glass jars with seat lithograph labels and they wiil "sell like hot cakes." Many a southern lady :ould make money iu this way. A little finger root with them is an improvement. Here is an industry which our Southern people ought surely todevclopc. I met one of our leading farmers to day, v member of our Board of Agriculture, fie said that our work nere niw Drought ibout a wonderful enthusiasm for the Milturc of cow pcuse in the State, aud hat iu this section more arc being sown han he ever knew. Formerly from his station a number of car loads were shipped annually to New Orleans for seed, jut this year they were hard to get at. my price, ns the farmers were usiug he seed on their own land. I had great lilliculty in getting seed pease wauted for parties North who are taking aa interest in tiic crop. Here is another opeu ing for our Southern folks. Hundreds of farmers are li ving these pease iu localities too far North to ripen them well. They ire finding them valuable, and the demand will annually increase. Our farmers should grow them not ouly for the benefit [>f their soil, but for the snlc of seed. You sin not go wrong in this matter. There will be a greater demand every yesr for this valuable crop aud our growers should | lie prepared to meet it. At present the | balaucc of the trade is ngainst tlio Soi?*b J !?ud many goes away from us northward, but it i^ in our power, with the wonderful vuriety of crops we tan grow to change nil this, get the balance on our side and thus make the money stay here. Grow pease for saio of seed, grow pease to feed nogs and stop sending money North for bacon ; and, finally, grow pease to prepare your land to grow more of everything else. All through the upper Piedmont country of North Carolina, there is the Quest wheat soil, naturally, in this country, and the people are attempting to grow cotton when wheat ou pease fallow would bring them more money, and would enable them to keep stock and make manure and all the products of the dairy. I ate to day cheese made at our experiment station by Prof. Emery, fi \ier than can bo bought to-day in Ka'cigh at twenty cents per pound. All of Piedmont N. C.,can make good cheese even if tbey cau not make u market for hutter. P will be a happy day lor the hill country when they quit cotton on most of their lands and go into wheat, gras9, pease and cows. W. F. Massey. Personal. Joseph L.

A delegation of mill owners have left for Madison to lay the matter before the Governor and ask that the militia be sent here to protect their property. Not a saw mill is running.

The Sheriff took all possible pre viiuiivuo {i^niiiot luimtDca rescue, sud a company of State troops were prcseut lo aid the large feice of opeci-ii deputies io preserving order.

When the war ended they returned to Kentucky and inaugurated a reign of terror in the mountains. Murder's were the daily amusements of the gang, and although Ihey were frequently arrested, tho ttrror which they inspired insured their acquittal when brought to trial.

Finally on July 14, 18ttl, lie deliberately murdered Chief of Police Ilyllon, of Nortoii, Va. My this time public sentiment was too suong for hiui and he tied the country. He was captured at Memphis Tenn, however, and brought back for trial. He was duly tried and couvicted.

Another department of this Southern exhibit interesting to many lias been the turpentine industry as shown in the excavations in the forest tree, "chipping," collecting the product and its distillation into oil ami the manufacture of rosia. A lur:jc collection of growing plants was in exhibits .showing the sugar cane, sweet potato, peanut, fudiau corn, r!cc and other atopic poducts of the South, while in the contribution from Florida were to be seen pineapples, bananas, oranges, lemons, tigs, and other tropical fruits in the growing state. The Florida contribution was also accompanied by a pond o'live nlligatois, while the wild beasts and game from all States in the South were sliowo, including the bear fiom his native jungles, the graveyard rabbit, the soaring eigle, aud the nielolions mocking bird. t.. ii </wv l... 4 1 a : ..a Ill II JflllUli: L^HIIl'IV il'U uy IIV II. *11 t*pacc iii nnotIt- r part of the building wore to be seen pho ogrnphs of Southern farms, factories, h lio.ds,churches,private residences, banks and public buildings, scenes at Winter Park, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine, Florida; Marion, Columbia, Aiken, South Carolina; Winston, Charlotte, and Tokay, and Southern Pines, in North Carolina; Annieten, Florence and Birmingham, and many other places in the Southern States, rentiily recognizable.
