distinguish.
The galleries were filled with specta-tors.

noon S. P. Sattertield, principal clerk
ol the last House, called the body to
order. Then one could see the faces
ol the members. It is a glad looking
body.
Rev. Dr. Le*f Branson offered the

He declared that Cunningham was

Hercules, as eloquent as Cicero and as
brave as Cesar. M r. Nelson seconded
the nomination of Cunningham and
said he was a typical free silver, in-come

in North Carolina thirty-six years
ago.
He was sent by the London Labor
Society is 188'J to investigate the
slave traffic in Kanakas, says the
New York Sun. While sailing
among the islands on his mission
his vessel was wrecked by a hurri-cane,
and after three days' battling
with the storm he was rescued by
natives and taken ashore. Instead
of being tortured.and put to death,
as is customary, his life was spared,
but he was treated as a prisoner.
The Illikas were at that time at
war with a neighboring tribe, and
Colonel Hobbs began to instruct
them in the arts of modern war-fore,
teaching them how to lie in
ambuBh and to use the sword. They
triumphed over their enemies, and
Colonel Hobbs was looked upon as
a special messenger of their deity
and was freed from captivity.

they thought he was a kinsman of
the Great White Spirit, the tribal
deity.
There are four islands in the
Illikan group, with a population of
30.000 or 40,000 inhabitants.
"They were cannibals when they
rescued me in 188'J," said Colonel
Hobbs, "but after I was chosen
King the practice was etopped
When the natives were celebrating
one of their victories after their
custom I told them that cannibalism
was nothing more than selfishness,
and when they killed another they
ware robbing the Great While
Spirit. This appeal to their re
ligious superstition won them over,
and since then there has been noth-ing
of the kind.
'•They have a curious custom in
regard to one of their ornaments,"
continued Colonel Hobbs. "For
each man killed they wear an eye
tooth of some animal strung with
beads about the neck. The head
chief has sixty in his string. The
principal exports of the islands are
pearl shells, cocoanuts, spice and
dried fish. They use porpoise teeth
for money."

The Education Question.
The eupremest need of the state
is to better and improve its public
schools. And what we need is real
remedy, not a scheme of destrue
tion. it is unfair and unfortunate
that it has been sought to confound
the University and the state schools
with this question. The University
is the logical head of the public
school s_\ stem It founded them in
the past, it has supplied and is sup-plying
them with teachers, without
which they would be useless and it
has always been foremost in work-ing
and pleading for them.
Its destruction would not add a
day and a half to their length of
term, but would deprive hundreds
of poor boys of the opportunity of
making men of themselves for the
state's sake.
Let us have a real plan for the
common schools, not destructive
and foolish as would he a scheme to
abolish the supreme court and dis-tribute
the money among the Jus
ticee of the peace, but some system
of local taxation supplemented by
the state tax which would give us
in lime good schools everywhere.
What we need is to strengthen
both the University and the public
schools. The state spends $S:i5.-
000 for its public schools and $20,
000 for its University. This is the
smallest sum given by any state to
its university. The tax for it comes
entirely from property. No man
who pays poll tax only, pays any-thing
to it and the average property
holder pays only a few cents each
year. The men of wealth really
support it and yet its halls are
thronged with poor boys who could
not get an education elsewhere.
Let no backward steps be taken.—

which we know to be destructive
carried on, and to find the house-maid
on her knees, with her brush
and dustpan, stirring up dust to
the detriment of everyone, and
breathing germ-laden particles to
her own destruction. It needs but
a small amount of common sense
to see that if carpets must con-tinue,
a thing greatly to be depre-cated,
they should be rubbed with
a damp cloth rather than brushed,
and that if, in deference to preju-dice,
they must be brushsd, this
should be dene by a covered Ameri-can
sweeper with plenty of damp
tea leaves. Of all ways of remov-ing
dirt from a carpet the worst is
by the use of the ordinary short
brush, which involves the house-maid
kneeling down in the midst
of the dust which she so needlessly
creates, and drawing it into her
lungs with every breath. For or-j
dinary household use something!
like linoleum, something which can
be washed with a wet cloth every
morning, would seem to be the best
covering for floors; but if carpets
must be, and it is impossible to
teach the present generation the
evils of seeking present comfort at
the expense of future risks, at
least let us remember that carpets
mny be washed even where they
lie; that, till the day of washing
comes, a closed sweeper is far bet-ter
than a brush, and that the worst
form of brush is one with a short
handle.—British Medical Journal.

An Incident in History.
Major Parsons of the Nineteenth
Maine told this one:
"There is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine played
in the war. though most of the boys
think it put down the rebellion.
The fact is, the Nineteenth ate up
the Southern Confederacy. They
stole pigs, robbed ben roosts.cleaned
out orchards and cellars, and for-aged
the country so thoroughly
that the rebellion had nothing left
to feed on, and so lay down and
died."
Then Al Wells of the same regi
ment took up the thread of the
story:
'■We were sweeping along one
day dining on ihe fat of the land,
as usual. Another troop was ahead,
and between them and us rode Gen-eral
Hancock. As the General was
passing one plantation the aged
proprietor came out and stopped
the General's party.
" 'General,' said he, 'I want eome
sort of safeguard. Those troops
that have Just gone by stole my
pigs, lifted my hen roosts and emp-tied
my cellar.'
" 'I'm sorry,1 said Hancock.
" 'Yes,' replied the old man, 'they
stole everything but my hope of
immortality. Thank God, none of
them can steal that.
" 'Don't be too sure about that,'
retorted the General, 'the Nine-teenth
Maine is coming next.'"—

self. The Christian era has its
epoch or point of departure deter
mined by the Gregorian rule, but
it seems to be generally agreed that
the beginning of the era should
have been fixed four years earlier.
since Christ was born four years
earlier than the date now eettled
on by the Christian calendar.
The proof lies in two main facts.
One is the death of Herod the
Great, which is known to have oc
curred 37 years after he had been
declared King by the Romans.
Now, this declaration took place in
A. U. C. 714. The initials A. U. C.
stand for anno urbia condito, the
year of the building of the city (by
Romulus), which was the epoch
whence the Romans computed time.
Add 37 to 714, and you get A. U.
C. 751, which corresponds with B
C. 4. It is obvious that Herod
could not have died four years be-fore
Chri t Kufther, we know that
there ■»-» .n eclipse of the moon on
Slarch 12, B. C. 4, on which eight
Herod ordered some Jewish rabbis
to be burned for urging their pupils
to destroy his golden eagle, and
then he was dead before the Pass-over,
which took place on April 12,
B. C. 4. Christ must, therefore,
have been born before February B.
C. 4. The 25th of December, B. C
5, would fulfill all historical re-quirements.
Our present reckoning is then
Just four years in error, but it is
not one that can be easily remedied,
nor, perhaps, in view of the great
mount of inconvenience that would
result, is it worth that trouble
The most important epochs in the
or'ul's history would be made to
appear as having happened four
yeare later than now. America
would have been discovered in 149l>.
the Revolution to have occurred in
1780 and the Mayflower to have
landed in 1624. It, however, would
make no difference in our ages.
Railway Embarrassments.
The past year was a bad one for
railroads, since 5,441 miles went
into the hands of receivers, involv-ing
$173,064,000 of bonds and
$102,533,000 of stocks. Th* B dr
O , with 2,094 miles, and the Louis-ville,
New Albany A Chicago, with
501 miles, were the principal euf
ferers. The present era of receiv-erships
began, says the Railway
Age, in 1892, when 10,608 miles
were involved. In 1893 the mile-age
was 29,340 miles, in 1894 it
it was 7,025 miles, in 1895 it was
4,089 miles. To find like figures
we have to go back to 1885, when
8,386 miles went into receivers'
hands, and 1884, when the mileage
was 11,038 miles. In the interme-diate
years the average was little
over 2,000 miles. The five yeare

"The fact that in North Carolina
thirty six Mormon proselyters are
allowed to carry on their nefarious
and wicked work in peace is a
triumph of tolerance and long suf-fering.
We do not write 'religious'
tolerance, for there ie nothing in
Mormonism deserving of such a
name except in the broadest sense
e dignity of a hiett»rj—wer*Lhin ne,.e„ary for the support ,„,,, tal,ee in Mohammedanism and
other obscene, lustful, debasing so-called
religion. While the people
hear and forbear, it is not credits
hie to North Carolina intelligence
and morality, for the emissaries of
the religion of lubricity must think
it a fine field for exploiting their
tenets of that eupremest of hum
