which alone Senator Vaoco bases the

This Lo.iiiiiiinicatioii. which seemed to
endanger the giant of extension which 1
had beon pr. aiiai-,1. cansed me much
anxiety, and I instated to Oov. Jarvia that
he and Dr. Worth should stand by their
promise, or I would be foroed to atop tbe
work and refuse to l«t out the contracts
liiv. Jarvia assured me that A< felt bound
and would grant the. exteusion agreed up-on.
Dr. Worth was then m Randolph
county, and I urged Gov. Jarvia to write
him a letlor explaining the critical aitua
I affaira, and that I would send il
with tbe petition and insist that be, Dr.
Woith. should sitfu the extension. Now
bear in in nd lhat tbe Iraud ol which
i Vii ■ooneea me conaiats iu ob
taining Dr. Worth'* signature to the exten-sion
' in ignorance of hia (Vance's) lotter."
Gcr Jams wrote tbe following letter to
Dr, Worth :

at the meeting of the commissioners of the
Western North Carolina Kailroad ii waa
agreed by yonreeif, Uov. Vanne and uiyaelf
that we Would extend tho time for llie
aa great a mistake aa he made iu asserting
thai the wotd •'continnally" waa in the
grant n( extension. Il.lh asaeniona are
recklessly incorrect. "As soon aa the
labor could bo employed at a reasonable
compensatio: ," more'than three hundred
hands were put to work up n tbe Duck-town
line, and the number has been
increased from time to time until tbero
are now over seven hundred hands at
wotk upon that line.
I also call the attention of the public to
ibe fact that tha commissioners di'J not
deny or controvert any facts elated in
the petition al. t.t the ciusce of '-hiodrano
ar.d delay," uor did Senator Vance denv
■hem iu his interview, and lhat they are
therefore takeu lo be true. Bat if It la
necessary, it can he easily demonstrated
that Ibe average number ol "able-bodied
convict.-" faratehest by the Suite ha. been
leea ihan/our hundred, or at least oue fifth
leas than they stipulated to furnish.
if ibe Senator is not satiafled; «e may

This petition of A. B. Andrews, Presi-lent
of the Western North Carolina
Railroad Company re.peclfnlly represents
that in pursuance of the A?' of tbe Guueral
Assembly, ratified March 99th, 1880, enti-tled
'An act to provide lor the aile or
lbs State's interest iu tba Western Norlh
Carolina Railroad t'ompanv and for o her
purposes," the Western North Carolina
Kailroad hsa been reorgtniEed. and the
work of completion of said road has been
begin, and the sauia will ha prosecuted
with th-inmost diligonce and energy, und
aa an indication of its sarnestnees the
company has already advertised for o"0
hundred hired laborers, who are being
daily employed mid placed upon ih- work
end advertisements aro to be posted im.
mediately for lie. hundred additional
hired laborers, making aix hundred in the
aggregate, which, joiued to its force of
live hundred convicts tarnishsd by the
Stale, will soon gira tin company a total
working force of eleven hundred hand-,
and it ia purpose and intention to keep
all of this lorce or aa many as it can place
on the roil employed during the whole
wurkiug seaaon j nt now opining. But
it ia respectfully aubmitteI to V,-.ir Hon-orable
Board that, notwithstanding the
employment of Ihia largo force anil the
cosily expenditures which wiil thereby b-nocessaiily
incurred tint the eompiny
baa serious apprehension- that Ihey will
not be able io reach the points Indicated
in ihe short time left them nader tbe
provisions of the Act of the 29th M neb
HSU. The petitioner respectfully shows
to your honorable board what ia weil
known through the public documents of
tho Senate of North Carclina, lhat too
original grantoes lost four months of the
moat valuable end suitable lime -IV.-I
them by tho Legislature, to-wit: from Ibe
J9th Maieh to the Hist day of July, I
and which was the ba'si, „f estimate
when ibe Legislature prescribed tha i--
July, 1881, as th- time when the mad
should be completed to Paint Koclc and
Pigeou River, audit was at thin glo in;
period in tbe history ot Ibis cmtract ,ii
which North Carolina had I . toman]
bric.li: Inpes ih.it the assignees were
to assume lbs burden of the contract and
complete the load; nu.l thai Ihey did at
that lato day, af.er r„ui months bad been
lost without any fault of theirs, assume
tbe responsibilities o- the contract nnder
the assurance that a liberal policy would
b- pursued toward* them by your honora-ble
board iu iho exercise ol the large
discri:! mary powers granted iu .said Act.
And your petitioner further shows thai
the woik ou th- road which v.-as began in
iho early autumn was obstructed and ill
times aim ,ii forced to oeaae by a winter
season unparalleled io its coldness in the
history of ibis Stale; ilie snow and frosts
were «o seveio a„d eontinaoos Ih it il
would have beeu erne! and inhuman at
times to compel the convicts furn - i '
the Siato to he exposed in them And
your petitioner further shows aa a forthei
reason forsaking all extension, that it has
not been practicable or perhaps possible
for the State to take her convicts from
the penitentiary or remove them from
other public. Inntovemsntl and furnish
them to the company eecordtng to ibe
provisions of the act, and that the easis
see have submitted io this curtailment of
its labor with the expeatatiou thai
spirit of aeoomuiodation and liberality
would be extended to ili.m, it they s'tould
be compelled io ask lor an extension ol
time.
For the reasons set foflh above, the
undersigned reaneclfully sak your honor-able
board togiautbim In wiring, over
your own signal ore- i.a commissioners, an
"extension of tune " for Ibe oompleti :. - I

iu conclusion, your petitioner ia advised
lhat y.,ui honorable board are empowered
by virtue of the 23rd sectiou of the said
act, under the ciicuui.'.anco-, above nieu-sioned,
and lor the cause set forth "to

bis everlasting sospicions, bis im-pertinence
and big cruelty. He may
have appreciated the nicety of at
fection; he never understood its
slow growth, while Schiller's first"
love-letter expresses the exquisite
hope that the sentiment which he
had experienced aud excited might
be permitted to grow-as grain
grows in the fields.
What are the noblest gifts which
nojio women can bestow on men T
Lord Beacousfield declares that all
Women and Faiuouj Men.
lieci'iit bouks of biography, no-tably
Oarlyle'a Reminiscences and
the Memoirs ot Mine, de Kenins.it,
have afforded a frnitlnl topic of
conversation iu tbe relations ol wo-men
to famous men. In the caseol
Carlyle it ia hardly possible to with-hold
some amazement in reading
hU remarks about his wife. John
Stuart Mill spoke of his wife with
a bimilar unreserved admiration,
oily in be compared with the exal-tation
oi spirit ;u v.-lii.'.-i fond p.tr-ents
sometimes apeak of their child-ren.
Mr. V.ites intimates that Cir-lyle
lacked some of tbe il imei ic
graces, and ibis theory partly i x-i'
' tie tbe I: rninist ences, BO far aa
they deal with Mrs. Carlyle. ll.u
neither Mill nor Carlyle deem to
have reasoned much about what
they were saying. Ihey had a simil-ar
experience, and, by a common
mistake, ihey maguitted tbe objects
of their affections beyond reason.
Tbey seem to have thought tbeii
wives women ot genina because
tbey themselves—men ol genius
fi-ll in love with tbem. Tbey never
oatgrew this subjective stage of af-fection.
In the case ot Carlyle it
was felt with tbe greatest intensity
atii-i tbe death ol its object.
Ii i< rematkable tba) Got the,who
knew womet: so well, ia happiest it:
describing tbe sentiments aud devo-tions
ot young women, such aa Mar-garet,
Claercbcn, [phigenia and
Dorothea, while hia practical rela-tions
to women were, io say the
. mure enrious than admirable.
.'!■■ possessed, In a rare di ■;"••', the
talent of winning the affection of
girls, although Charlotte Boff, tbe
most spirited girl whom he ever
wooed, resisted him steadily and
gave her heart deliberately to bin
rival. Perhaps Goethe illustrated
better than any other writer the
faet that literature deals rarelj
with the love of matured men and
women for each other. It describes
youthful affection in almost all its
pbaset; frequently it alludes to ma-tured
love as a reality; but wbai
author describes a love which be-
I'ins at 21), retains ali its early
charm, at the same time becomes
calm and deep and saturated with
reason, and reaches its golden
beigbta .it 40and 50? Yet such nn
experience ia fortunately not exces-sively
rare, and the ripened love of
4(1 means so much nine than love's
Brat blush aa the beauty of a mi -
luted woman is superior to tba; oi
a girl, however pretty. The differ-ence
between a violet and a perfect
orange holds good throughout the
economy of nature and human n a-aoo
.IM well as human aentiment.
The malice ot Mine de Bi ninsat
—or was she unconscious ot wl I
she did t—tells us niiii astounding
detail oi Napoleon's n ';.:■':_■:; i with
women. He began with indiffereni
women, then addressed
bis successes gave him fall satisfac-tion
in so far as he could lay his
laurels at the feet of bis wile. Wo-men
themselves aro rarely aware of
tbe supreme charm which they
exerl, not only upou the imagina-tion
aud sentiment of men, but also
upr.n their intellectual talents and
their reason. Sohelling, perhaps
the most inspired writer in the
whole literature ot Germany, began
to write when he saw his wile: wheu
she dud he ceased to be an author.
Che profoundly and the marvelous
depth ol a woman's affection are
notorious. A father can cast away
bis daughter, a mother is forever
tho sate retuge of a graceless son.
Xet almost all great men have tried
to reach tho very extreme of the
love which they tried to excite, by
allowing perhaps a brief month for
that growth which nature baa pru
fleutly aud beneficently d:stributed
over decades and the better part of
a lifetime. A famous rhyme says ol
the passionate but uncertain lover
that
Either he feara his f.,te too much,
O; his desert is small,
Who dares not put it to the touch,
To win or lose it all.
Win or huso what! Is tbe one
wont, "yes," all? Idle dream! Uow
many an altar has witnessed what
waa thought a religious yes, and
within a few montha nature itsell
revolted nt tbeaberatiousof bnman
rashueas. And dues nature make
mist ikeal The finest examples o!
affection that began slowly, bat
grew for fifty years, proceeding
from unconscious sentimentthrough
'1 i !> passion, fiery ordeals if need
be, aud honest reason to fine ma
turity and nature's perfection-these
examples aro not found in
lit< rature, bowerer fine, hut in the
silent homes of Christendiun,where-ver
men and women c»n obey na-ture
and at the same time remain
loyal '.i the 3tate,dntifnl in society,
and (he servants of high interests
i i ndure. Life is, after all,
Inirer aud finer ilian literature is.
Bui ibe finest examples of human
happiness are not iu the fau'oua
uovelo uor In recorded history, but
those v, bo lead an inner life as well
aa a visible existence.
A Discovery Ri valing Jenner's
One of tbe mo3t important
papers read at the meetiug of the
International Medical Congress,
held iu London, was that ot M.
Paatour, tbe distinguished biolo-gist,
on certain discoveries of his
which will enable physicians to
convert vacciuatian horn being an
isolated aud empiric precaution
into a wide system of treatment,
applicable to many kind of f.iver ol
both man aud animals. His inves
tigations have resulted not alone in
preventives for four distinct violenj
diseases, but iu a knowledge ot a
method of preparing a vaccine for
preventing fevers and many—it
not all—coutagious diseases." M.
Pasteur, iu his address as reported
by the London Thut, gives iu
detail bia discoveries with respect
to two diseases—chicken cholera
and splenic fever. It will suffice to
trace his method of preparing a
vaccine to prevent the first. He
takes a chicken about to die of the
cholera and draws from its veins a
small quantity ot blood. Under
the microscope this blood isseeu to
be full of small living creatures,
winch, for waut of a better uarac,
wo shall call microbes—the name
employed by M. Pasteur. A drop
of this blood is placed in a close
glass vessel containing clear strain-ed,
recently boiled broth, made
from chicken or other flesh. Great
precaution is takeu to exclude the
orgauic germs floating in the air;
m fact the glass neck of the vessel
is closed with a plug of cotton, or
is drawn out in a lamp Hume and

A Gentleman.
The consciousness of beariug an
honest, staiuless name, untarnished
by a single breath of dishonor,
clear in its records and pine in its
deeds, gives to a man's heart the
proudest thrill that it can know.
No father cau give bis sou a
nobler heritage, nor son receive a
grander birlb-right.
Hut all are not blessed with this
inceutive to au honorable life, and
many fall into wickedness for the
want ol it; but there is a Divine
inheritance that i.li men share—
the power to wiu and wear the
name of gentleman. *
