A Colored Man's Talk. . CHICAGO, January 26.?A Especial from Indianapolis says: Col. A. A. Jones, of the State auditor's office, who is con? nected with the latest proposed exodus of negroes from the . Southern States to . South. America, talks freely about the scheme. He is an active friend of all movements for the improvement of the : . condition of his race and was engaged in the first exodus. He accompanied Gov? ernor Chamberlain, together with several other young colored men, to South Caro? lina from.. Massachusetts and entered heartily into that movement. "Tho exodus," he said, "will be effect? ually pushed, and by May 1 we expect to . have onx first party on the road. There o^-are" no headquarters as yet; the move? ment is very young, less than a month old. So far as active work is concerned, headquarters will be established, proba? bly, in New York. We shall have three 'f-1 "agents. in Cincinnati, one in St. Loui'b Brand one at Chicago. I am agent at this point. We have some of the best people in the country interested?men who are willing to go down into their pockets for the relief of their oppressed brethren, inave had some colored people in this intry pretty well fixed, and they are nmitted to the work.

Baxeigh, N; C, January 27.?A romantic marriage was performed at the ; little town of Newton, which attracts much, attention, and is the sequel of a curious complication. Seventeen years ago Mrs. Elizabeth " - Ferguson was living in Rowan county with her first husband, John B. Fergu? son. One day he, on some pretext or other, went to.? Georgia. The wife -^patiently awaited his return for two ; years, and finally heard he was dead. >^"After many years of supposed widow-. . hood, she went to live as housekeeper in ?.-the; family of Mr. A. Hale, a wealthy prattled jeweler, of Charlotte, who had Amoved on a farm he owned in her neigh? borhood, on account of the delicate -health of his wife. ?';rvfMri. Hale died, and eighteen months ? ago;-Mr. Hale married Mrs. Ferguson. ^u^y ?yed happily until a month or two ? ago, when it was discovered that Fergu ? f son^ after going to Georgia, had married ' 'another woman and was still alive, ^?teps were at once taken by Mrs. Fergu | -i8?p, now Mrs. Hale, to obtain a divorce, I^^Rweedings were begun in Catawba y^cpgn^-Boperior court by publishing ; -notice to Ferguson. ^ The case came up ,n->yfflti?rday, and hearing the facts, the .r?nrtat once granted to Mrs. Ferguson ' an'absolute divorce, ii^jias^night, at the Haynes house, in the .presence of Judge. Boykin, ex Congress >fian Armfield and many prominent law .tyers, Mr. Hale and his wife were united /.firmly. They were serenaded by the . , band, and a large crowd was attracted to lIPp house. All felt in sympathy with the ?'i1ttide and groom over the happy termi ^nation of.their trouble. Anarchist Widows In Clover, :' Chicago, Jan. 25.?There is trouble Rin the Aid and Support Committe having ^Charge of the-fund for the families of ? / the exeeuted^narchists, and the mein? er hew threaten to resign. It was decided ^to.fix the weekly payments to the fami ;^3ies of thetexecuted Anarchists at $8 to ge*ch of the widows and $2 for each child, ?-.where there are two children, and $1 for .7 the third child in the case of Mrs. Fish? er. It appears, however, that the fam? ilies are better off now financially than ? they ever were while the husbands and fathers, were alive, and as their circum? stances bettered themselves so did their ".wants increase. ?$%t is said that Mrs. Parsons recently C. bought a gold watch, for which she paid -$65; Some time later she complained i that she had no money with which to pay rent, She got the money and went , to Warshall, Field & Co., and ordered a plush cloak. Mrs. Spies and her grown 'Children live in a house for which she pays $25 rent monthly. She has received about $400 from the committee in addi? tion to her monthly instalments, which was'claimed for the purpose of getting oMa biography of August Spies. Mrs. Parsons got $500 to get out her husband's ?.woi:7on "Anarchy." Mrs. Engel got $400 to pay off some debts on her store. The members of the committee complain that the families of .the dead men have /been writing to.New York abusing them and urging that no more money be sent Jo'the committee. =. About twelve years ago, the building . of theThornwell Orphanage was project? ed. Since the granite structure was erected, which is the Orphanage proper, "five ether, magnificent concrete buildings "lave been added, besides several wooden mildinga, making the entire Orphanage roperty worth between $35,000 and 0,000.. To this, another building? emorial Hall?is soon to be added. Six ndred dollars of'this fund has been raised in the past few weeks, and a sufficiency of funds will no doubt be secured for the completion of this ? building by the.28th of May next, at . which time it is proposed to lay the cor? oner-stone, thus commemorating the thir? teenth anniversary of the laying of the -corher.stooe of the first Orphanage building. By faith Noah built the Ark, and by faith Brother Jacobs undertook this commendable work, and ever since ifias seemed to be a labor of love with Jbim. May he live many long years yet -,tO come to prosecute his Christian labors. ?Clinton Enterprise. : ? The month of February, 1886, was in one respect the most remarkable in ^rthTw'orld's history. It had no full moon. January bad two full moons, and so had March, bat February had none. Do you ^realize what a rare thing in nature that P;..was? It had not occurred since the time jbf Washington, nor since the Christian era, nor the creation of the world. And it will not occnr again, according to the computation of astronomers, for?how .long, do yon think ?-3,500,000 years. - Was not that truly a wonderful month ? ? One of our most sensible exchanges Bays; The boy who isn't afraid of any ' sort of honorable work that comes to hand is the hoy who is bound to succeed. There ia a great deal of room in this world a^jfchatsort of a boy, and it is room i jfliich no other boy can fill. The Tax Question, Oar people are a little restless nuder the apparently heavy taxes they have to pay and as the State is a big sort of thing without a soul, it gives little comfort to grumble at that; so the people generally take it out in finding fault with their editors and representatives, because they can get at them easy enough. The tax? payers should know that certain things are settled and will not be changed. For instance the interest on the State debt and the current expenses of the govern? ment have to be paid(< Then ? urrent county expenses, the two mill school tax and ^interest on county bonds cannot be avoided. There is no way of getting rid of the State debt except by paying it off, and the Bame applies to county indebtedness. Then some other things are pretty well settled and cannot be changed. It is the fixed policy of the State to make liberal and gradually increasing appropriations for the State University in all its departments. Then the Winthrop Training School, at Colum? bia, will call for increasec appropriations as the years roll by. The taxpayers may make up their minds to meet appropria? tions necessary for these expenses. No reformer, or reformers can go to Columbia and cut off any of these expenses. Your reformer generally has some pet scheme of his own and in order to carry that through he will Bwap off and "log roll with riders of other hobbies. For instance, send a man to the Legislature who is a Citadel man but opposed to appropria? tions to other institutions. He will be there only a short time before be will understand that they must all stick too gether and your reformer goes for the appropriations every time. In this way an agricultural college and a training school in eac.h county are possible in the near 'future. The taxpayers may settle down to the fact that taxes will be made lighter, but will increase faster than assessment values and population. ?Spartanburg Spartan. The Han and the Soil. After all is said, there is more in the man than there is in the ground. Some ground becomes worn and run down, and gets too poor to set flax without turning it over often. When it changes hands, and is cultivated differently, and manure and a little fertilizer applied until red clover will take root, then fine crops of grain will grow, and you will hear some one say he did not think there was anything in that old field, when really there is as much in one field as another if the right man takes hold. ? There are old men, farmers for fifty or sixty years, who don't understand bow to cultivate corn to make it a success. I know some farmers who will not plow corn when it is dry weather simply because it has no weeds or grass in it. Their idea is when clean it does not need stirring. But as the dry weather increases, the cultivator should go the more. If your ground is well and deep plowed early, and your ground well mellowed before planting, with the proper use of the cultivator there can be fair crops made in the priest seasons. Never plow too deep after first plowing, for the roots need compact earth to hold moisture. Where there is no moisture there is no possible means of plant roots getting a drink, for that is the way they live, and if the one means of subsistence is cut off how soon you see the effect in the parched blades. It don't matter how rich your soil is, if the earth is not in a condition to hold moisture your corn will not grow. I don't mean water when I say moisture, for this moisture can be obtained to some extent without rain. I am no scientist to explain how, but part is done by the atmosphere coming in contact with the ground often and not too long on the same surface. I had as soon have rocks in my cornfield as bard clods; they will absorb all the available moisture at night and the sun will extract it during the day, so the plant is robbed by degrees of the supply. Drilled corn will stand culti? vation in dry weather with better results. There is a strip of roots that is not bro? ken, and the moisture will meet from either side J*> supply them.. If you think it won't, just try it.?Home and Farm. ? Never begin a Journey in winter until the breakfast has been eaten. ? The new. tax return of Union County shows a decrease of $90,000 in valuation of personal property. ? It is estimated that in the past ten years North Carolina has expended $3, 000,000 for commercial fertilizers, while the value of the crops has been only 515,000,000. ? The Bichmond (Va.)

The smallest horse in the world has reached New York from Japan. The arrival is a dwarf of the Japanese ponies, being 30 inches high and weighing 72 pounds, although perfectly formed and intelligent. It is stabled under the oyster counter of a Monroe street barroom, and trots about the floor at will. ? A St. Paul gentleman tells of a church incident that came under his observation in the western part of New York State several years ago. A pious church member arose in experience meeting and gave a review of his life. When he came to the declaration, I thank God "I owe no man anything," a [[uiet man in a remote corner jumped up and said: "I have a little account against you, brother, that you must have forgotten." "Ah, Brother Camp," said the speaker, unconsciously, "that debt was 3iit of date a good while ago." ? P. A Slowman's store at Pine's CroBS Roads, Colleton County, was blown upon Friday evening of last week by the ex? plosion of a keg of powder. Mr. Hamp? ton Sneed, who was in charge of the store, was at the desk writing when the ex? plosion took place, and says he can form no idea of how the powder caught fire. The first thing Mr. Sneed knew he was blown several feet out into the yard, with the roof and weather boarding of the storehouse on top of him. Mr. Perry Ike was sitting on the piazza of the store, and was also thrown into the yard and covered up by the shattered timbers. With the exception of slight injuries these two were not hurt; but Mr. Aaron O'Bryan, who was standing near the powder, was terri? bly burned and wounded by the fire and timbers, and has lost one eye. He is un? der the care of Dr. Witsell, of Walterboro, and is dangerously ill. Five or six col? ored persons who were in the store were dangerously hurt, and some of them it is said will not recover. The house was completely demolished. ? The Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee are work? ing upon the tariff bill in a systematic way. They have divided the schedules among them, and, having made the pro? posed changes individually, discuss them in gatherings of the entire majority. This work is preliminary, and not at all final. The action of the committee will be governed, before reporting the meas? ure, largely by the suggestions and re? commendations of the treasury. Several gentlemen from the Arkwright Club of Boston are in Washington to give the committee reasons for not changing the duties on goods when such changes may interfere with their industry. It is probable that the bill will not, as at one time proposed, entirely abolish the tobacco tax, but that, upon the sugges? tion of some of the tobacco men, the tax will be reduced. There will be no haste about reporting the measure, for the reason that it is believed to be wisest to spend the time in the Committee in pre? paration rather than to attempt to get the bill into shape in the House upon an imperfect skeleton.

You wouldn't think that anything new could be written about such a homely subject as a barrel, but a decidedly new departure is to be chronicled. The barrel of commerce is made by splitting tho log into bolts about thirty inches long. Tho bolts are placed in a large vat, subjected to an intense steam heat for twelve honr3, and then, while hot, are cut up into staves. After five or six months of air drying the staves are ready for tho listing (or joint? ing) machine. This process completed, the staves are in proper condition for the cooper, who trusses them (arranges them in barrel form) and cuts the chino and croze, after which they are ready for heads and hoops. Shaving, planing and crozing machines are used in tho manufacture of common barrels, and in each barrel there are sixteen staves. The new barrel is made of two staves. In an establishment where they are manufactured I saw an elm log thirty-one inches long and twenty-four inches in di? ameter, resting in a steam vat. A crane, operated by steam power, grappled the log and swung it into position in the ma? chine. This wonderful piece of mechan? ism clamps the log exactly in the center and immediately begins a motion of fifty revolutions to the minute. "When the log commences to revolve in the embrace of the machine a knife is fed directly on the outside of the log, cutting oil a continuous sheet the proper length and thickness of a stave. In this way the entire log is util? ized as stave material except about six inches of the core or heart, which is prac? tically worthless. On the opposite side of the cutting knife, and revolving upon the - surface of the log, are two cylinders, being held thereon by the same mechan? ism which feeds the knife to the log. One revolution of these cylinders measures a half barrel of continuous and solid stave material. " In the surface of these cylin? ders is a knife, which is forced into the solid log, cutting off a sheet, which falls on to a conveyor in the perfect form of a half barrel. This half barrel, which has just dropped from the log, is completely chined, crozed and equalized. Its exter? nal form is superior to any work which the most expert cooper can execute. It is mathematically "true." The chining, crozing and equalizing have all been done by the same knife, and the perfected half barrel is the result'of the single mechan? ical revolution. The elm log referred to remained in the machine-fifty seconds, at the expiration of which time it had been converted into thirty-four staves or material for seven? teen barrels. The staves are dried, listed (jointed) and then receive head and hoops. Two hundred and twenty barrels are made from 1,000 feet of log measure. By the old style of manufacture the maxi? mum product is about fifty barrels less. On the old barrel, with sixteen staves, thirty-two listings are required. Here only four listings are made. The saving in this detail alone is great. As a labor saving invention it represents an advance of 60 per cent, on the old method of man? ufacture. Barrels, nail kegs, butter tubs and pails are turned out at will with this wonderful machine. The inventor, a Michigan mam has had the idea germinat? ing in his brain for over twenty years, but it was only during the f resent year that the mechanism was perfected.?Chicago Herald. Winter Weather on the Nile. I am; however, forced to believe that, so far as climate alone is concerned, the average winter weather on the Nile from November to April is as good as any to be found for a majority of those who need a mild, dry atmosphere, free from malaria ?an element which must be carefully considered by all in search of warm win? ters. As the Nile valley is seldom more than ten miles wide between the deserts? and its average is much less?there must be a purity of atmosphere therein that is exceptional. It is cool and bracing, and necessarily very dry?too dry, in fact, for some invalids. On the Nile, above Cairo, but not in? cluding Cairo, fires are unnecessary dur? ing the winter days. Cotton,. tobacco, beans, and other plants very sensitive to cold, continue to grow and blossom in this season, and yet the heat is neither oppres? sive nor debilitating, and woolen clothing can be worn nearly all the time. The nights, however, are cool and frequently cold, and the variations from midday to midnight, or rather to the early morning hours, when the temperature is lowest, are suchas to require an amount of care and caution on the part of invalids not alv easy nor likely to be exercised.? Wii a Smith Brown in Harper's Maga? zine. Dong Khan and His Brides. Queen Hoang-Quiphi is one of the young? est and loveliest of the hundred and odd wives who help to make life pleasant for his Majesty Dong Khan, the potentate of Annam, and now that she has become a mother is generally boss and overseer over all other brides.. The king can have all the wives he wants. The clever idea of exempting from taxation all his fathers and mothers-in-law has been very success? ful, and he has the choice of each season's debutantes. Theirs, however, is not the life of an American girl who marries well. They are divided into nine classes, and are told off, thirty each day, to look after the king, dress him, perfume him, polish and trim his finger nails, and generally to make life easy for him.?The Argonaut. Musclo Movements After Death. Dr. Brown Sequard has just read a re? markable paper before the French Acad? emy of Sciences on the movements of the muscles after death. Many physiologists believe that these post mortem movements are due to atmospheric causes. Dr. Sequard controverts this, although he does not deny that they may be partially brought about by variations of the temperature. He argues that the real cause of such movements is to be sought in the vitality of the muscles, which remains in a dead body sometimes for forty-five hours after death.?Frank Leslie's. Wanted to Bo a Pirate. Washington Irving in his early youth had a longing to go to sea and be a pirate. He determined to make the attempt, but wisely decided to prepare himself for it by preliminary experiences. He began by eating salt pork. That made him sick. Ho then slept for a night or so on hard boards. That made him sore. It was enough. He had no more desire to go away.?Chicago Herald. Burglary as an "Industry." Burglary is not usually classed among mechanical trades, but it is nevertheless an "industry" in its peculiar way, and very numerously followed in cities and large towns. Some one?a safe manufac? turer, we believe?has been at the pains of compiling a summary of the processes which burglars employ in the present ad? vanced state of the art. They are said to be: 1. The driving of wedges into door jambs, by which tho tenon is forced out of the packed groove and explosives in? serted arouud and into the rabbet or stepped flange. 2. The application of th/ drill on material represented as drfL proof metal (?). 3. The application of tho Harris stripper, in peeling plates from their rivet and machine screw fastenings. 4. The application of the Burton pulling wrench, by which lock and bolt spindles are drawn out of doors. 5. The applica? tion of the Mason ripper, a late and in? genious implement of burglary, used on safes or vaults with iron surfaces. 6. Tho application of the powder pump in forcing explosives around the jambs of safe doors and into crevices created by wedging and in the use of jackscrews. 7. The explosion of dynamite on tho surfaco of the door, by which tho bolts and bolt frame are dislodged by concussion.?Bos? ton Budget. In the Azores. There aro no beaches and but little or no level ground on these islands. Most of tho roads are excellent, equal, if not superior, to anything that our parks can boast of. While at Fayal I hud scverul rides along these smooth, clean, hard roads. They aro lined for miles with flowers, the most prominent being tho hydrangea, whose flower clusters some? times exceed ten inches in diameter, and ; wero so close together that the leaves were hardly visible. For miles we could see this magniflcent shrub doing duty as fences for their fields and gardens. It appeared like passing through a park liko garden. The road skirts precipices and passes over hills, giving a magniflcent view of tho country; and then descends through valleys and crosses many water courses spanned by good substantial stono bridges. These people use the same ox cart as their forefathers. The wheels, a circle of wood with irou tires, and tho axles simply a huge stick firmly wedged in the wheel and kept in place by a wooden I pin.?Cor. Pittsburg Tost. A Wonderful Watch Dial. A gentleman connected with a West? ern watch company bas a wonderfully curious watch dial. Instead of Roman numerals to denote the hours, there are eleven small but very distinct silhouette figures, representing a man out with his dog for a day's sport. At 7 o'clock he is seen starting out with his gun and dog; at 8 o'clock ho makes a shot; at 9 o'clock be has a sandhill crane, which measures as long as himself, at 10 o'clock the man and his dog are Beared at the sight of a jack rabbit, which is sitting upon his hind legs, with his big, long ears raised above the bushes; at 11 o'clock the hunter takes a drink, and while in this attitude the dog sits in front of his master, with his noise point? ing directly at the flask; at 12 o'clock the sportsman is seen sitting on a stump, and is eating a lunch?the dog is eyeing the piece of bread which the hunter has in his hand. At 1 oclouk he starts out to fish for the rest of the day, and bo takes his dog and fishing tackle and goes to the water; at 2 o'clock the dog, which is behind his master, bas been caught with the hook by an attempt to throw in his line; at 3 o'clock be and the dog are straightened out again, and the line is in tho water; he has both hands on the pole and his foot braced on a stump by the water's edge as though he had a tremendous bite; at 4 o'clock the man has got a big fish on his line, which has pulled him offhi3 feet, and he falls on the dog and doubles him all up, but the man is holding fast to the pole, which is bsnt almost double; at 5 o'clock he is all straightened out again, his pole is thrown across his shoulder, and with his fish in the other hand he starts for home, the dog following behind with his bead hang? ing down, being all tired out. The man's name is also painted in the centre of the dial in rustic letters. The figure VI is superseded by the seconds.?Jewelry News. ?

It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. * We are ter? rified nt the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis? ease constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their owu stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi? demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change? able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug? gishness of the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head? ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat? ed tongue; a sense of a load on the stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre? quently attended by palpitation of tho heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in tne ^air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto? ration; poor nights'rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz? zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli? cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some? times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis? ease. But its real nature i3 that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body?including the nervous system?is literally starved, even when there is no emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shown that there is put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be lost in trying other so called remedies, for they will do no good.

Those interested in Fruit and Fruitgrow? ing are cordially invited to inspect this the largest nursery in the State snd one among the largest in the South. The proprietor has for many years vis? ited the leading Nurseries North and West, and corresponded with these of foreign countries, gathering every fruit that was calculated to suit the South, both native and foreign. The reputation of Pomona Hill Nurseries is such that many agents going out from Greensboro, representing other nurseries, try to leave the impression that they are representing these nurseries. Why do they do it? Let the public answer. I have in stock growing (and can show visitors the same) the largest and best stock of trees, &c., ever shown or seen in any two nurseries in North Carolina, consisting of apple, peach, pear, cherry, plum, grape, Japanese persimmon, Japa? nese plum, apricots, nectarine, Russian apricot, mulberrv,quinces.
