Mrs. Ellen Campbell was for many years superintendent of the North Carolina Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute. She had the misfortune to read the "Fool's Errand" and write to a friend in faroff Massachusetts that it was a true picture of Southern lite. Her bservatiion was printed in a rural paper in the Bay State, bnt it happened to find its way to North Carolina and caused Mrs. Campbell's discharge.

The net earnings of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad in 1880 were 260,000. The company laid down 140 miles of new track during the year, sixty miles of which were laid with steel rails. Three new locomotives, 200 new bos cars, and four splendid, first-class passenger coaches were added to the rolling stock, and orders are out for five more locomotives. The car-works of the company have been greatly enlarged, and 250 additional box-cars are to be built as rapidly as possible. A company has been formed in Scotland for the purpose of encouraging Scottish farmers and manufacturers to emigrate in large numbers to America. Mayor Caven, of Indianapolis, has received a communication from theru in which a preference for Indiana is expressed.

Fifty dollars was the price for a sleigh carrying four persons on New Year's day to make calls between noon and ten o'clock at night, in Washington City; and cutter sleighs for two for 15 the day. While crossing the Ohio River i n the ice at Bising Sun on New Year's day, Frank Larrison, a young Kentnckian, stepped in an sir hole and went down to his arm pits and was unable to draw himself out. He remained in this perilous position for nearly an hour, and when rescued was almost frozen to death. Gooi Idea. A handsome young roan named George Butterfield killed himself in Denver Saturday night, Jan. 8, because a bar-tender refused him credit for drinks. His sensitive soul could not stand the damnable insult to one of the elite, and rather than mix with such peoEle as infest this mundane sphere, e went out of the door, selected a place on the sidewalk, fired and fell. He has left this country and may bring up in a country where it is even harder work to obtain drinks than in this. We congratulate this nice young

man on quitting. It is better for him to die now than to live along year after year, drinking poison, whooping it about town, living by charity, subsisting as a member of the free-lunch brigade, being supported by nymphs du pave, costing tax-payers large sums each year to arrest and bring him in, and at last, alter months in jail or prison, to die slowly with the jim-jams, and be buried at the public expense. The example of George Butterfield is commeoded to all who have pluck sufficient to quit before, the game closes. - There is a strange rumbling noise audible upon the Bed Biver, Texas, and as the locality is fifty miles from any railroad it cannot be attributed to passing trains. The inhabitants are much excited over it, believiug that it presages volcanic action. It resembles the sound of a railway train, the roar of a distant waterfall, and at night the moaning of the wind through a pine forest. Its range, which is not changeable, is from north to northwest, and it recalls the ominous sounds described by Humboldt a preceding the great earthquake of 1759 ia Mexico, when the volcanic mountain of JoruIIo was upheaved. Scientific investigation will probably be ordered by the State authorities. m m m Indianapolis Journal: Many lawsuits are of such a nature as to show that they owe their existence .solely to attorneys who are common iKirrafnrs. Vermin of this kind y -t afflict the body politic and the h' viorable profession of the law. They thrive by encouraging litiga--'.'II on trifling pretexts, and are th? urse of society. The old pun-i-intent at common law of barratry, vh: h is as common an offense as zt ever wo3, should be revived srah.st pettifogers who stir up and murage litigation.

A correspondent of the Scientific American say s : Let any one who has an attack of lockjaw, take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than a minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine; it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a niece of flannel

with it and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and in every case three or four drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly. Every family should have a bottle on hand.

of October next following the death

Dakota laid more miles of railroad last year than Texas, Ohio nearly as much, and New Mexico about the same as Ohio. Mississippi did not lay one mile of railroad last year, but it has the distinction of being the home of Jeff. Davis and laying more contest to seats in Congress than any other State in the Union.

California sends about 250,000 barrels of flour to China every year, which indicates that John is cultivating a taste for food other than his favorite rice.

Jay Cook lost all his wealth in the Northern Pacific railroad

scheme in 1872, and the men who

then opposed him are now securing the money to complete it.

It is reported that Vice President-elect Arthur is soon to commit mataimony with Mrs. Marshall

O. Boberts, a wealthy- widow of

some $4,000,000.

Some bonko swindlers at Cincinnati put a green farmer through the usual process of meeting a forgotten acquaintance, who had drawn a prize in a lottery ; of going with this "steerer" to the den of the rascals, and being there induced to invest $50 in the bunko game. But at the piont he was expected to retire a quiet loser be drew a revolver, and declared with many rural oaths, that he would have his money back or take every life in the place. He got his money.

Moriarity, who had been assaulted by Schmidt, appeared against him in a .San Francisco police court. " Did he have a provocation to strike you ?" the Justice asked. " He may have had something of the kind con cay led about his person, but it was a brick he struck me wid," replied Moriarty. . m a m We talk of the growth of our great American cities, but how many can boast, like Berlin, of adding sixteen per cent, of population in the last five years, and 600,000 people in the last twenty?" Still, she includes in her reckonings the soldiers in garrison, who are objectionably numerous. Among the extraordinary contrasts in the census of cities one is furnished by San Francisco and New Orleans ; and this contrast is made more apparent because the two cities stand side by side in the

list as ninth and tenth in point of

eiae. Twenty years ago San Fran

cisco had but 56,802 inhabitants, while New Orleans had 168,675; last July San Francisco had 233,956, while New Orleans had 216,140. On a smaller scale a still more marked contrast is afforded by Oakland and Mobile. Oakland in 1860 had but 1,549 inhabitants, and Mobile 29,258; but iu 18S0 Oakland bad 34,556, and Mobile 31,205.

Why Was It? Perhaps the Indianapolis Sentinel will etate calmly wjiy i: was that the cornerstone of the State house was not supplied with a war history, and why especially the record of the War Governor, Morton, was omitted. We would be glad to have an explanation. It is unpleasant to believe that the Democrats who have had Indiana since Morton's death, are small enough to desire to belittle by a studied and ceremonious omission the part of Iudiana in the war. Therefore we seek to know the real reason.

of the sixth, to open the casket and drink the wine. This agreement was faithfully carried out. For five years the seven ate their annual dinner. Then in June, 1837, Mr. James M. Mason died. The six continued the custom two years, when, in November, 1839, Wm, Stanberry died. Three years later Mr. J. E. Mason died, leaving but four of the society. These four partook of their annual dinner for seven years, when in 1849 death again invaded the society, choosing for his victim Wm. Dinsey, jrt For six years Messrs. Lawson, Tatem, and Dr. Vattier kept up the annual dinner until in June, 1855, Mr. Lawson died, and his death is said to have produced such an effect on the mind of Mr. Tatem, in whose custody the mystic box was at the time, that he died two months later. In the delirium preceding death he is said to have begged that the casket be removed from the house. By the death of Mr. Tatem Dr. Vattier became the last surviving: member, and in accordance with the object for which the club .was formed, he, on the 6th of October, 1855, broke open the bottle, and drank the wine. Up to the date of his death Dr. Vattier, regularly, on the anniversary of October 6th, has prepared and eaten, all alone, a dinner in memory of the Last Man's Society, which by his death is now extinct.

The Midwinter (February) Sckibnkk has always been a special number, as rich as the choicest literary matter and the most beautiful wood engravings can make it. Of last year's midwinter number the London Times said; "It is a really magnificent triumph of American pictorial art and literary genius," The English publisher of Scribner has telegraphed for 17,000 copies of the present number an advance of 6,900 upon his orders Inst year, and the largest edition of an American magazine ever sent to England; in fact, it is said to be larger than the monthly galea of any English Maya-zinc-The American edition of Scmbxeb has grown during 1SS0 about 20,000 copies. A delightful feature ot the magazine this year is a series of sparkling novelettes, or condensed novels, instead of a serial story. " A Fair Barbarian," the story of a piquant American girl in England, by Mrs. Prances Hodgson Burnett, begins in this February number with a twenty-two page installment, and will run through three issues. Since the death of George Eliot it may be said that Mrs. Burnett commands a larger English-speaking audience than any other woman. Her novelette will be followed bv one bv George W. Cable, author of "Tho Gran'disstmea," etc., and afterward Boyesen's "Queen Titania" will be published. "Peter the Great," Eugene Schuyler's historical work, begun in February, 1880, will be finished in 'October of this year. By means of the recently published special offers of Scbib-

ner, the whole of this great work, with

its wealth of illustrations, can bo had-at a very low price, in connection with a year's

suDscripuon. jlu oooK-seuers can give

the terms. In the same ratio that Scribxer's

oUosthxt is prospering, St. Nicholas,

the famous magazine for girls and boys, issued by the same publishers, crows

apace. About 100,000 copies of the Christmas (December) number were sold, while the January number has been for some time out of print. In February there is a

full account of the Obelisk, richly illus

trated from sketches and photographs, showing the great monolith in all stages of moving.

The Midwinter Scriiwkr will bo ready January 20th, and St. Nicholas five days

later.

Of all the various methods proposed for the reduction of postage none ia so practical as this Get married I Tbe Last Maa Society. The death, at Cincinnatti last

week of Dr. Vattier, at the age of

72 years, is announced. In connection with the death of Dr. V., the story of the Last Manx's Society is again brought to public notice. This story, which was first published in 1855 aqd again in 1874, is of such interest that it will bear reproduction in full : On the 30th day of September, 1832, seven then well known young men of Cincinnati met and formed a club, from its peculiar object called the Last Man's Society. The seven were Jas. M. Mason, Dr. J. L. Vattier, Fenton Lawson, Henry L. Tatem, Wm. Stanberry, Win. Disney, jr., and J. R. Mason. The seven were to hold an annual dinner each year, or as many as survived, and at the first dinner, held October 6, 1832, in a mahogany casket prepared by the father of present Exposition Commissioner McAlpin, a bottle of wine was placed, and the casket locked, the lock sealed, and the key throw away. This casket was to be kept annually by the members of the society, and when six had died, the seventh was, on the Gth
