The discussion of the question of Prohi

cheerfully give publicity to the views ot
our friend- and if there arc others who
feel disposed to taker, hand in the ventila

them so long as they keep within propel
limits and abstain from personalities of an

there is a great deal to bo said on both sides

An important railroad meeting is now
being held at States"ille, N. C., the objet I
of which is tho consideration of thc quos

this Road is controlled is looking towards
Port Royal for an outlet, and that lt is theil
purpose to extend tho Virginia Midland tc
that port at an carly day. Regarding tin
meeting as one of importance to this sec
tion, thc Town Council on Monday las
1 appointed Gen. W. W. Humphreys an?
Maj. E. B. Murray to represent our inter

? Tho twin bed spring is one of thc bes
things introduced in this section in a loni

considered that poopJe spend at least one
third of their lives in beti, and that refresh
I ing sleep gives tone to tho system and vigo
to the mind, it does seem that beds sliouli
be made as comfortable as possible. Mair
a man has worn himself out on hard um
uncomfortable beds, when a small sum o
money would have not only secured bin
comfort, but would also have prolonged bl
life by years. Read the advertisement o
H. S. Lipscomb it Co., and then invest fiv
dollars in a set of their springs, and yoi
will never regret it.

Blind Toi.!.
Tilt' vi-.it ?if Blind Tom lo our 'owu wu*
un event that wiU long be remembered by
our citizens with pleasure and wonderment
combined. Everybody bad heard of the
wonderful twrforrnances of Illind Tom, hut
they hud not realized whut a real wonder
bo was until they beheld him with their
own eyes mid listened with their own ears
to his enrapturing and snul-iuspiring mclo
dies. Ho -.lerfornied ia McCully's Hall to
a densely crowded house on Saturday night,
anil for moro than two hours delighted his
audience with both instrumental and vocal
music, Interspersed with humorous recita
tions and exhibitions of his remarkable
memory and acuteness of hearing. He
was in charge of Mr. Bethune, u son of
bis former owner, who lived near Colum
bus, Ga., whore Toni was bom and raised.
Just now the following extracts from a
biography of Tam will bc perused with in
terest, and will give our routiers nu idea of
his general ehuractor and history :
Tom was born blind, and, learning noth
ing from sight, manif?tted in his early in
fancy so entire a want of intellect as to in
duce tho belief that ho was idiotic as well
as blind. His imbecility and helplessness
secured for him tho sympathy and care of
the family In his infancy ; whoo ho bogar,
to walk and run ahout the yard, his amus
ing peculiarities made him a pet. His lind
manifestation of interest In anything was
his fondness for sounds : the first Indication
of capacity, his power of imitating them.
Musical sounds exerted a controlling intlu
once over him ; but all sounds, from the
soft breathings of the flute to the lian*!;
grating of tho corn-shcller, appeared to
alibi i him exquisite enjoyment.
Ho talked earlier than other children*
and he talked no "baby talk." lie uttcreA
his words clearly and 'distinctly, attaching
no meaning to them, but seeming to con
sider them merely sounds, which he imi
tated, us he did all others that he heard.
Whatever words were addressed to him,
whether in thc form of a question, a com
mand, a request, or as mutter of informa
tion, he simply repeated in the tones in
I which they had been uttered ; and would
i repeat not only them, but conversations he
had bearii-sometimes for hours at a time ;
yet, long after he was in possession of a
vocabulary, with which, if he had known
Its uso, he might have sustained a respect
able conversation upon any ordinary topic,
he never attempted to express by words an
idea, a feeling or a Want. His wanta he ex
pressed by a whine, w hich those about him
had to interpret as best thov could.
* ???es*
He exhibited ids wonderful musical pow
ers before he was two years old. When the
young misses of the family sut on the steps
of au evening, and sang, Tom would come
around and sing with them. Ono of them
one evening said to her lather :
"Pa, Tom sings beautifully, and he don't
have to learn any tunes ; he knows Hiern
all ; for as soon os wc begin to sing, he
sings right nlong with us."
Very soon she said :
"He sings tine seconds to anything we
sing."
His voice was then strong, soft and melo
dious. Just before ho hud completed his
second year, he bad the whooping-cough,
from thc effects of which his voice under
went an entire change : it became and con
tinued fur years exceedingly rough and
harsh, though it did not affect the taste or
correctness of his singing.
He was a littlo less than four years of ugo
wdiciL a piano was brought to the house.
Thc first note that was sounded, of course,
brought bim up. He waa permitted to in
dulge his curiosity by running his lingers I
over und smelling the keys, and was then
taken out of the parlor. * As long as any
one was playing bc was contented to stay in
the yard, and dance and ca]-erto the music ;
but the moment it ceased, having discovered
whence the sounds proceeded, and how
they were produced, he was anxious to get
to Hie instrument to continue them. Ono
night the parlor and tho piano bad been
left open, his mother bad neglected to fasten
her door, and he had escaped without her
knowledge. Before day thc young ladies
awoke, and, to their astonishment, heard
Tom playing ono of their pieces. He con
tinued to play until the family at the usual
time arose, and gathered around him to
witness and wonder at bis performance,
which, though necessarily very imperfect,
was marvelously strange; lor, notwith
standing this was his first known effort at a
tune, he played with both hands, und used
thc black as wall as the white keys.
After awhile be was allowed free access to
the -da?o, and played everything he had
beard. Ho soon mastered all of that, and
commenced composing for himself. He
would sit at the piano for hours, playing
over the pieces be had berni, then go out,
and run and jump about the yurd a little
while, come back and play something of his
own. Asked what it was, ho. replied, "It
i? what the wind said lo mc," or "what the
birds said to me," or "what the trees said
to me," or what something else said to him.
No doubt what lie was playing was con
nected, in his mind, with some sound or
combination of sounds proceeding from
those things, and not unfrequently the rep
resentation was so good as to render thc
similarity clear to others.
. . ? . a r *
It has been sLited that Tom was born
blind ; ill his infancy and for years thc
pupils of his eyes were as white and appa
rently as inanimate as those of a dead tish.
But nature pointed out to bim a remedy
which gradually relieved him from total
darkness, and in process of time conferred
upon him, to a limited extent, thc blessings
of vision.
When he was three or four years of age,
it was observed that ho passed most of his
time with his faco upturned to tho sun, as
if gazing intently upon it, occasionally
passing lils hand back and forth with a
rapid motion before his eyes - that was soon
followed by thrusting his fingers into his
eyes with a force which appeared to be
almost sufficient to expel the eye-balls from
their sockets ; from this he proceeded to
digging into one ot them with sticks, until
the blood would run down his face. All
this must have been pleasant to bim, or he
would not have done it ; and there is no
doubt that he is indebted to the stimulus
thus applied to his eyes for the measure of
sight ho now enjoys. When live or six
years of age, a small, comparatively clear
speck appeared in on? of Iiis eyes, and it
was discovered that within a very small
space ho could sec any bright object. That
eye has continued to clear, until be is now
able to see luminous bodies at a distance,
and can distinguish small bodies by bring
ing them closo to his eye. Persons that he
knows well, he can distinguish at the dis
tance of a few feet, and it is hoped that in
process of time his sight will so far im
prove aa to relievo him f:om many of thc
difficulties to which ho is subject.
? . ?. ? ? * a
Tom has been seenprobably by moro
people than any one living being, ile has
played in almost every important city in tho
United States and in a great many of the
smaller towns-Paris and most of the prin
cipal cities of England and Scotland ; and
every Where hu has astonished and pleased
those who have heard him. Those who
have observed him most closely, arid at
tempted to investigate him most fully, pro
nounce him "a living miracle," unpar
alleled, incomprehensible, such as has not
been seen before, and probably will never
be seen again.
A Kew Kind of Mortgage.
CIIAKLOTTF N. C., April 15.
One of thu most r- markablo deeds of
mortgage probably evor made waa put
upon record in the register's office here.
According to tho terms of this mortgage,
Charles Didenover, an intelligent but
impecunious man, conveys himself, and
all right and title to himself to another,
to have and to hold forever, to secure a
debt ho owes the mortgager. The deed
was duly witnessed, signed and sealed.
Didenover is a married man, and there
fore, under the laws of this State, bofore
a man can convey any real estate his wife
has to givo hor signature thereto, ac
knowledged before a Notary Public or
Magistrate. Althougn it is doubtful
whether thc object in this case has the
character of this property, Dideoovcr's
wife waives all ot her rights, title and
claims to him in favor of the mortgagee,
and has signed a deed of conveyance,
and acknowledged the esme'with all due
form bofore a Magistrate. The cas?la
ono of tho most remarkable ever known
in this section, and attracts wide-spread
interest. Jf a man can mortgage him
self and convert his body into legal col
lateral, it will open up a new class of
security, which will bo bailed with great
?lcasure by many an impecunious man.
f the legality of this deed is confirmed
by the courin, it will not be a great while
before Didenover's example will bo fol
lowed by many hard pressed topers in the
old north State.

- A special dispatch from San Anto

triple murder about seven miles from thnt

owner, left his hon e on Sunday lust.
Yesterday his herder, named J. S. Phil
lips, went out with the sheep. About
noon Mrs. Simmons was fouud lying in
the herder's room with her throat cut

His condition was very alarming to all of
us, and we did every thing wo could think
of to benefit him, without success, until 1
got him a bottle of your Lung Restorer.
Ho began to improve after tho first dose,
and before he hail taken two bottles was en
tirely cured, where I feared no cure was
possible, and I most cheerfully recommend
it to all who have an\ affections of thc
Lungs. He was coughing and spitting all
tho time, so incessantly that it prevented
his sleeping at night, and what little sleep
'ic got ?lid not refresh him in the least,
ii.'d but little appetite, and since ho began
thomee of Brewer's Lung Restorer lias slept
well and his appetite is very much better.
I have never seen anything act so promptly
and effect a euro in so short time. Wishing
