trustee ofthe sinking fund of that road judge kerr decided against the board of directors and re fused to remove mr wilson — from that decision an appeal was taken to the supreme court and the follow ing is the opinion just delivered by which it will be seen that judge ken's decision has been reversed : by smith c j the n c rail road co and john w graham vs x h 1 wilson from orange — error — the railroad company in ex ecuting a mortgage upon its road provided by the mortgage deed for a sinking fund and appointed a trustor with provision that if said trustee or any trustee thereafter appointed should die or resign or become in capable or unfit to act in the said trust a successor to such trustee shall be appointed etc the original trus tee liaving died the defendant was appointed trustee but becoming in solvent and it appearing that he had invested a portion of the trust fund in a private banking firm in which he was a partner and which had like wise become insolvent the board of directors having in vain requested said trustee to resign removed him and appointed the plaintiff graham hold it was a broach of trust to in vest any portion of the trust fund in the banking house in which the trus tee wa interested though collaterals may have been taken therefor it was improper for the trustee to sell bonds of the company which he re ceived uncancelled from his prede cessor and apply tiie proceeds to meet overdue bonds instead of cancelling them as he should have done that the finance committee ofthe company examined the defendants investments and collaterals and made no objec tion was not a sanction by them of the loans the trustee had made to his inn even if it were the directory being a mere fiduciary agent ofthe company their concurrence in a breach of trust would not relieve the trustee who acts under the deed crea ting the trust the exacting ofa bond from tiie trustee i.s but a subsi diary security for his fidelity but it is ikk a substitute for his personal fit ness for the place the bond holders are not necessary parties to proceed ings to remove thc trustee while the court does not impute any dis honest purpose to the defendant yet as he has acted in opposition fo the well settled rules in reference to trust estates it is manifestly proper that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the funds of the company during the tendency of the contest over the possession ofthe office timely and proper words our friend cameron of the dur ham recorder we prefer saying hillsboro recorder knows how to say things at the proper time and in the right way read the following and see how timely ai d proper it is the temptation to enlist in parti sanship for future incumbents of high office is not very great some ofour confreres are expending a vast amount of premature zeal in the cause of spe cial favorites we incline to the be lief that before the day of nomina tion comes they will find they have done more harm than good it is rare to find human virtue proof against long continued assault and in the armor of the veteran politician some crack is sure to be found into which the filial weapon of a watchful enemy will make its way the fresh est ami newest in the field is more of ten the safest from attack ami apt to come out the winner in the race thare is no necessity for the press to commit itself in advance to any man all that can be required of the democratic press is to plant itself irrevocably on the platform of its nnty and unflinchingly stantl by its principles the press of north caro lina is under few obligations to poli ticians but it is under the heaviest obligations to the principles which distinguish the democratic party it will make no mistake if it bind itself last to the latter without being in a hurry to declare for the former the art of bonqtiet making it seems an easy thing to make a bouquet as one looks over the garden ami sens the bea ut i ful flowers but after all it is a tlillicult matter and one sometimes forgets that flowers have their affinities and preferences as well as the human race above all give them room and not crowd them when flowers are massed heavily to gether all lose their beauty i saw an arrangement of flowers yesterday \ where two lovely day lilies that | would have been beautiful if grouped | alone in a slender vase with a few j ferns or gieen spires but whose effect [ was ruined by being put in the cen ter ofa mass of lark-spurs and com mon garden flowers the common flowers only looked the more com mon in contrast with the lilies and : the lilies looked as though caught in very coarse company for vases and bouquets of any sort there should be plenty of white for the foundation when steraless flow ers are used like a tuberose or a single geranium stems can be made by putting the ends inside of straws i and then wiring it in : when arranged j in tlie bouquet the straw cannot j be seen but the flowers can be kept i fresh by absorbing the water a pret i ty arrangement is to take a spike of scarlet gladiolus with its brilliant ; coloring arrange it with feathery j grasses and gleams of white fever few here and there and you will have a lovely spot of coloring for some dark corner again petunias and morn ing glories are difficult to combine with any flower bnt give them a wide mouthed vase and a few leaves and they are positively graceful all lilies 1 think are prettiest if no oth er flowers are mixed with them for small vases a very good way is to clip them off and put them in carelessly as thoy come then they will look datura ; too much arrange ment often spoils the looks ofa vase of flowers for either hand or vase bouquets do not put too many colors together no smoking in here you can't smoke in here said a john street conductor to a countryman who was pulling away vigorously at a five cent cigar in a car full of ladies the man didn't seem to hear 1 say said the man ofthe bell punch in a louder key if you want to smoke come out here on the plat form all right returned the passenger and he stepped out didn't think it would hurt nuthin he said apolo getically seeui's there ain't any straw in the ear to catch on fire but there's ladies in there you know oh yes didn't think notliin bout that might get ashes on their gowns and spile em it isn't so much that explained the conductor but ladies object to smoke well i didn't atile an'y on em to smoke did i ? they needn't object before the are invited you don't understand smoking i.s disagreeable to ladies best reason in the world why they shouldn't practice it catch me smoking if it was disagreeable to mc and he tranquilly puffed away at h i.s five center — detroit free press the liddell k\gixi>.-.-rthis en gine the invention of our townsman is to bo

the valley of the thames on saturday night the storm was attended by a fall of hail stones some of which were five inches in circumference damage to glass in places immediately around london amounts to thousands of pounds ster ling in a great part of bedfordshire the hay crop has been completely swept away and many cattle drowned newmarket and neighborhood are j flooded the rain fall in bucking

badger was ascend ing one ofthe entrance stairways from the lower floor of the main offices of the custom house he was suddenly met by wm brown ex-metropolitan policeman who with the remark i've got you now drew a revolver and fired at the head ofthe collector seeing the man's movement collector badger caught his arm and directed the shot over his shoulder and then took the pistol away from brown and threw it below brown lost a leg on the 14th of september 1874 under badger and was among badger's first appointes as postmaster becoming collector badger left brown in the postoffice where he failed to remain the collector thinks brown was craz ed by poverty and seems unwilling to prosecute him brown evidently thinks gen badger should have giv en him a place in the custom house new

birth statistics ba?s for protecting grapes in an essay published in the report | of the kentucky state horticultural society thomas s kennedy a horti ; culturist near louisville writing on ' grape culture says :— a better pro l tection from insects and disease i have found in covering each bunch of grapes with a close fitting bag made of cheap cross bar mosquito netting costing last season only forty-five cents per piece of eight yards long by two wide — one square foot being sufficient ' for a bag it is slipped over the bunch and tied closely around the stem with a string this simple contrivance is a complete protection against all kinds of insects but only a partial preven tion of rot i have nsed this cover ing for more than fifteen years and am satisfied that without this safe guard i would not be able to save any considerable portion of my annual crop from destruction by insects uu der this covering the grapes have fully ripened and hung long after wards on the vines until wanted about seven years ago a very large collection of grapes that had been pro tected with paper bags was exhibited at the louisville fair these grapes were very clear and translucent and only slightly colored the darkest kinds of red grapes had only a light pink tinge and no person could tell what kind any of them were by their appearance the paper bag had evi dently excluded the sunlight and caused the grapes to mature without attaining their natural color the flavor too was insipid and watery the contrast between these and the rich colors of the grapes exhibited from my vineyards caused the judges who awarded premiums to decide that the netting was a better covering than paper bags death at a camp meeting — baltimore august 2 — a special from lid wood maryland where a camp meeting ofthe church of god is in progress says a startling scene was enacted at the alter yesterday niorn ing the members were holding the regular morning prayer and praise meeting and hanson penn of

morning a noble man the late john crossly nce enter tained the prince of wales and a number of other titled people at his magnificent house of manor heath one evening after his guests had been shown over the beautiful place some of them sat conversing with him res pecting his earlier days and con cerning his mother he answered thus oh my mother was a remarkable woman ; she was once a farm servant she lived fourteen years in the same familv she had to milk the cows and churn thc butter and carry it to market she had for a long time only i a year wages and yet she manag ed to save a nice sum ; and her leis ure hours were filled np with spin ning wool her mistress allowing her a fourth ofthe profits for herself ah said a friend who was present perhaps you are indebted to your good mother for some of your success in this spinning world ?" oh yes ' he replied under god's blessing i owe everything to my mother if a cat doth meet a cat upon a garden wall and if a cat doth greet a cat 0 need

never use an ordinary lantern in a : spout or bin where there is a draught of air carrying dust with it one end ' of such spout or bin should be closed before the lantern is introduced a : lantern
