There are neafly-SOb.OflfOturile^ of railway in the United States. "And yet," muses the AtlantA Constitution, "the I time is easily within the memory of middle aged men when tho total railway mileage of the country was less than ,10,000. The disappearance of the Jim 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 resr j;'-. taurant on Chatham Square. Here one could buy for conts a good slice of beef with potatoos and turnip3. For cents raoro one could have plum pudding with rich sauce. Thus one obtained for 12i cents, the ol 1 York shllk 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 makn nnn nt set think that ho had inherited and would soon recoive a fortune of $14,000,000 from an uncle in Europe. The news got out and the hoir was flooded with solicitations from the merchants end money-lenders. He began to lire In. the style of a Monto Oristo, and now refuses to believe that he has b9en deceived. Tho doctors say he will carry ,^-his delusion through life. A writer in tho North American Review implores Amoricaus to "build up tho body, build up the body," lest an excess of brain development result in a physical roll apse. Not long ago, comments tho New York World, a distinguished scientist told us that the verago Amcricau of to-day has a better body than the avcrago Greek of the palmy days of Olympiads. What is a layman to believe when tho doctors themselves thus disagree? The chances are ho will soon begin to s aspect that the 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 developmeU*' The latest reports from Russia indicate that the harvest prospects are even more discouraging than they were one year ago, and apprehensions are ft It that xl ill I 1 more win uo a renewal ui tuu muiiuo which has excited such world-wide syra' pathy. Iu the Caucasus locusts have destroyed the crops, while iu other sections they have beeu ravaged by worms. Throughout the fauaine-stricken district the stock of grain which was in store when the scarcity commenced has now been exhausted, and if there shall be another failure of the crop the distress will be simply appalling. It is certainly to be hoped that more favorable condl* tions may be found to exist when the harvest is fully gathered. The demolition of Heligoland is going on apace. Five military watch towera ai-a hsinop nrAfttar! on thn lalnnr) v'ninh I* lowly but surely crumbling away. Oae of them, a correspondent states., is just beginning to appear at the South Poiat, the rock which rises sheer aad red above the clear, greea water. O ily two short years ago that poiat was the loaelieit, loveliest spot oa the suaay, sileat island, aad served the superannuated, weather-boateu fishermen as a station, whence thoy looked out when a storm was brewing, or whoa the fishing fleet was overdue. Now bricks and uiortar cover the deep grass; the primitive seats hare disappeared, and the derm in bluecoat reigns supremo. Oloso to the Gov ernment House, ia the fields, a powdor warehouse ts being built, and over the graves of the old Frisian King) ths walls of big barracks are ruing. W , ttarden and Forest pleads for tho reservation of a Southern forest tract as a public park, and it thinks Roan Mountain, on the boundary line of North Carolina and Tennesson, the ideal tract for the purpose. Among the trees to be found on its slopes are varieties of the ^magnolia, ash, oak, maple, linden, birob, pine, spruce, chestnut, wild ch6rry, tulip tree, walnut, hickory and t, the hemlock. Many of these attain a great height and girth, particularly the ash' the hickory and the hemlock. Among the loftiest of the trees is the snowdrop, or halesia, which ia free of branches for one hundred feet from the ground. The work of deatruction among t the foreata of the South ia going on at an alarming rate. A correipoudect aaja "that in the Doe Hirer Valley, which rune into the flank of the Koan Mountain, no fewet than twenty eawmilla are in constant operation, and the atumpa of monarche of the forest are to be teen on ary hand. ?

To secure by legislative enactment tho (8tabli6hment of a house of correction for young criminals. 4. That the law for collection of agricultural statistics for North Carolina bo abolished. STATU DEMANDS. Whereas, The last General Assembly of North Carolina failed to pass a bill reducing tho legul rate of interest to 0 per cent.; and whereas we endorse the positiou of those who used their eltorts tad votes to pass such a measure, therefore, Wo demand of our General Assembly a* im ut'Ai session 10 pnss a Dill seducing I the legnl rate of interest to 6 per cent. \ We demand of our GcDernl Assembly at its next session the passage of a secret ballot law, with a provision in said law that will secure to voters who cannot rend an opportunity to vote. Whereas, there are large railroad properties and interests in this State now escaping taxation in whole or in and whereas, further, it is in the province of the General Assembly of North Carolina making all property in the State bear its equal burden of taxation; now, therefore, bo it Rttolved, That wo demand of the General Assembly of North Carolina to force, as far as in its power, all railrond property and interests that are now escaping taxation, in whole or in part, to pay its full and equal share of taxes for the support of the government of North Carolina as the property of farmers, laborers and other citizens are now taxed. 2- That wo demand that no further franchises or privileges iu the way of amended or extended charters or otherwise be granted any corporation claiming exemption of taxation, until such corporation or corporations make a complcto and unqualified surrender of any claim exemption from taxation. Whereas, it is Iv'ievcd by many that there will bo ffort to repeal the Railroad Comission bill or cripple it by amendments; therefore We demand of the next Geficral Asaemhly of N.qrth Carolina .that it.ehalL sustain the <prcsent Railroad Commission bill, that no amendments lessening or unuiucriDg vac power 01 vac commissioners shall be passed, and that only amendments (if any at all) such as may or will increase the efficiency of the Comisslon and perfect the machinery and details of the same, shall be enacted into law. * * * * * * Columbia, S. C.?Tillman elected by 20,000 raajori?y. The Tillmanites carry 30 out of 35 counties. The congressional results are: 1st, Brawlcy beats Stokes, Alliance candidate; 2d, Tillman andTalhert lead and will run over; 3rd, Latimer, Atlianccmun, bents Johnstone; 4th, Shell. AUianceuian, renominated over Johnson; 5th, StAit, Alliancemao, beats Hemphill; 6th, McLaurin beats all competitors; 7th, Moise beats Hey ward, Till manite. Of the 35 counties in the State ex-Gov. Shcpnrd, the candidate of the Conservatives, has carried only 5, with a total thus far of 24,000. Tillman carries the other counties with a total vote of 37, 000. In an interview Conservative Chairman Dibbla said: "I beliove we are defeated by 16,000 votes. We are Demo crats and of course expect to abide the rrsult of the Democratic primary." The biggest surprise of tho campaign is the defeat of the brilliant John P. flemphill, of Chester, now l-corescotincr the tfifth district in Congress. It was thought that he was impregnable in his district. WHAT GOOD ROADS WOULD MEAN. They would make it possible for the fanner to take Advantage promptly of the highest market, no matter at what season of the year. They would save bim days and weeks of time which he wastes evcty tear wallowing through the disgusting mire of dirt roads. They would reduce to a minimum the wear and tear on wAgons and ctrt inges. They would lessen the expense of keeping horses in working oraer and vastly less hotses would bo rcquirod in the country to perform the farmer's work. They would require less expense to keep them in repair than do the dirt roads. They would make it easier for a team to pull several tons over their smooth surface thau to drag a wagon through the mud. They would afford ready communication willi tlift nnUiH? wnrf/l !! 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 increase the demand for country and suburban property. They would be free from dirt and dust in summer and mud and ruts in fall, winter and si ring. They would biing every farming community into closer social relations. They would make an evening drive a pleasure instead of a vexation, as it is now. They would do away with the ab-urd poll tax and supervisor system in p'aces where it is still In use They would be, in short, the beat possible investment to the tax payer, if built and cared for by the National Government and paid for by a national tax. AH these they would do, unless experience goes for naught.?Rural World Charleston, 8. 0., is making soundings to deepen its harbor, se as to admit the biggest ocean ships. j?wrr^-r?-- ?r; " Pig Culture in the South Euy and . Profitable. Ralkuih, N. C.?The New York paperj Bay fresh figs are being shipped to New York from California. If this is bo whj can not wo here in North Carolina send them in much bo.ter condition. To-day (July 22d) figs arc retailing in Raleigh markets for twenty-five cents per peck and tho crop from now until frost will be very largo. I am going to make an experimental shipment" for the benefit of our growers and believe thit they can tc Shipped in strawberry boxes aud cratct just as well,or better, thau strawberries are. Figs all over Eastern North Carolina can be growu as successfully and ol as fine quality as auywhere in California, and if wo once get our slow people stirred up to their interest in the matter, they are sure to "git th^re" in the end. The interest in the fig crop is increasing here I have distributed in the last three years over 6,000 fig trees from the North Caro lina 8 ation of our thirty varieties of tho choicest figs of Italy and the Levant, and am beginning to see some of the results. w. 1 I?J * ? - "ciimi) mi i rcccnuy can i'caro nga, which weighed a quarter of a pound each. These wero of the first crop, which ia 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 bj frost and the early crop is never so largt as the later ones. The second ? r main crop is now coming on, and is unusually abundant, and will be until frost I have suggested to onr growers and wish to lepeat it here, to tako the figs when ripe, but not too soft, wrap each >n ticguA unnnr and pack snugly in strawberry boxes, ftTia thou not longer than thirty-two in a crate, and I am sure they will reach the northern cities in good order. A number of farmers have written to mo for directions for drying tig*. I have found the following the best plan: Take wcll-ripeucd. figs, make a strong lye of hardwood ashes, dip the figs in the lye, rinse nnd wipe dry with a soft cloth, and dry in any of the cheap, portable evaporators. Whon dry pack in boxes just as figs are packed abroad. A lye made of washing soda will answer, bnt is not so good as wood ashes lye. The object is to remove tho acidity of the skins. The figs can also bo treated in this way aud then instead of drying, preserve them in tho old-fashioned way, in syrun: Put them up in glass jars with neat lithograph labels and tbey wiil "sell like hot cakes." Many a southern lady could make money iu this way. A little ginger root with them is an improvement. II ft 11 i ml 11 l I i" j ah* "" luuuoiij niui.il VUI UVUVUV.IL people ought surely todevelopo. I met one of our leading farmers to day, about a wonderful enthusiasm for the culture of cow pease in the State, and that in this section more are being sown than he ever knew. Formerly from his station a number of car loads were shipped annually to New Orleans for seed, but this year they were hard to get at any price, ns the farmers were using the seed on their own land. I had great difficulty iu getting seed pease wanted for parties North who are taking aa in tcrcst iu the crop. Here is another open iug for our Southern folks. Huudreds o: farmers arc trying these pease in localitici too far North to ripcu them well. Tbej are finding thciu valuable, and the de maud will annually increase. Our farmer: should grow them not ouly forthebenefi of their soil, but for the sale of seed. Yoi cm not go wrong in this matter. Then will be a greater demand every yesr fo this valuable crop aud our growers shouh be prepared to meet it. At present tin balaucc of the trado is against the Soutl and many goes away from us northward but it ip in our power, with the wonder ful variety of crops we can grow to cbangi all this, get the balance on our side anc thus make the money stay here. Grow pease for sale of seed, grow pease to fecc hogs and stop sending money North foi bacon; and, finally, grow pease to propar< your land to grow more of everything else. All through the upper Picdmonl country of North Carolina, there is th< finest wheatsoil,naturally, iu this country and the people aro attempting to grow cotton when wheat on pense fallow woulc bring tliein more money, and would en able them to keep stock and make man ure and all the products of the dairy, ate to day cheese made at ourexpcrnnen station by Prof. Emery, trier than can bi bought to-day in Raleigh at twenty cent per pound.

It will be t happy day for the hill country when the; quit cotton on most of their landa and g( into wheat, grass, pease and cows. W. F. Massbt. Personal. Joseph L.
