agri culture to whom have been left the various matters of exhibiting anil ad vertising north carolina have so far pursued a wise and commendable course in this direction they have fought a good tight at home and now when it is proposed to carry the war into africa and to complete victory abroad it is a proposition that meets the approval and is in accordance with the desire of the intelligent and right minded people of north carolina vast good has been already accom plished by our home exhibitions as advantageous as it is may be to spread our feast at home and invite the for eign world over to partake of it how much more powerful for good will it bo to carry the exhibit to them in their own land and say we have brought it to you before your eyes at your feet ! look at what our state lias and is and has accomplished so far as the board hasalreadly wisely gone in this direction it ig but meet and proper — nay necessary that the work be crowned by this last greatest and best effort of all tne writter does not believe it to be an exaggeration when he says that however inestimable has been the good result to t lie state from the various exhibitions in which she has already taken part the opportunity offered in london next year is oue the bene fits of which should it be embraced will he greater than all previous ef forts combined the advantages to be derived by an exhibition are in di rect proportion to the number of peo ple who will see the display and the ainout of unemployed capital seeking investment that will be directly reach ed by invitation the thus extended let us see briefly what advantages in this direction the american exposi tion in london in 1886 offers the exposition opens on the is of may and will outiiie about six months it will be exclusively amer ican and in this line is a new depart ure in the history of expositions the new york herald says of it editorially there has never yet been a first-class exhibition of american articles anywhere out of this country and the commercial result of such an undertaking can hardly be overesti i mated it is a private enterprise the united states government being in vited simply as an exhibitor and not being asked to vote any funds for the undertaking the high price of labor in america lias driven her to all kinds of devices to facilitate production all these will be shown to the wonder ami astonishment of the olil world 1 he boundless natural resources of our country will be also fully illustra ted to give some idea of the num ber of people who would have access to our exhibit placed there 1 will slate that lite site chosen is one such that ten millions of people reside with in an hour's title by rail of the ex position buildings and that the esti mated ordinary number of strangers who enter the city of london daily is one hundred and fifty thousand this transitory population will be greatly increased by the presence of the amer ican exposition there and the british colonial and indian exhibition which takes place at the same time these two exhibitions going on at the same time and near by each other will re act reciprocally to the mutual advan tage of both the multitudes coining to see the one will see the other and vice versa and the friendly rivally be tween the two will stimulate each to the highest pitch of excellence our state has already a complete collective exhibit this principal item of expense being then already incurred and that incident to placing and keeping it in london being prac tically nothing in view of the vast benefits to be attained the course to be adopted seenis to the writer — and he believes to the majority of the peo ple of north carolina as well — to be plain with such an opportunity to expose our exhibit to such countless multitudes and in a land teeming with unemployed capital as well as over i crowded with a good thrifty popula tion seeking emigration it does not seem that the board of agriculture i when the question shall conit up tor decision can long hesitate z gen grant's doctors bills were 12,000 for each physician the now york papers consider this quite a moderate charge the money was | made up by subscription by the j friends of gen grant's family great i ly relieveing the latter f severe em barrassment at the time of his death grant weighed only 85 pound archibald henderson wilmington star this distinguished native of nort carolina was the son of judge rich jard henderson of the revolution his mother was a daughter of lord-keel ing he was born in granville count and was a brother of the eminenl chief justice leonard henderson tin legi l;d are desired to place archibald jon the supreme court bench of the state but lie declined saying that one . of the family was quite eno tgh w : learned this interesting fact from the late ; hon hugh waddeli whose memory : we revere we knew him from our i boyhood and it was a letter from him , to the late william j bingham that secured u place for us in his school of thirty boys when that was his limit at . oaks we have heard the same thing concerning mr henderson ar.d the bench from another person unlike his brother who was of some what stammering speech archibald henderson wasan orator judgemur ; phey in his elegant address at chapel i hill refers to him as the model law | year of north carolina at the time i mr henderson was in prime there is j im doubt that he was the foremost ad j vocate and orator a our bar he was j a great lawyer elegant persuasive i full learned profound he was prob • ably not as great a jurist as his brother i he had not so reflective a mind but he i was far more rhetorical winning ready eloquent and effective lie succeed when his brother would have failed j lamentably if he had been on the | bench he would have left a nam but j little lower than that of the three or four first class jurists who have been chief justice ofthe state he died when his intellectual powers were in full splendor at his home at salisbury but few of the many able lawyers of our state ever so impressed their fellow men for uncommon powers as did this illustrious and admirable man he was amiable and true as the hen dersons have been generally one of the ablest men of the revolutionary period was the father of leonard and archibald henderson mr henderson has left no memo rials of his intellectual greatness it is already a tradition as it is with so many of our strongest and best fur nished men some ono ought to take the trouble to hunt up all the remi niscences that can be gathered of this great lawyer lie was a large man physically as was the chief justice the hendersons of that and the fol lowing generation were men of marked physical proportions their faces were very strong — noble foreheads promi nent noses protudiug chins srni-sel jaws with kindness and openness of expression they were remarkable for their benevolent qualities the late archibald henderson of granville son of the chief justice was of this type a man was arrested for stealing from him lie gave the late judge gilliam his intimate friend the money to get the rogue out of the difficulty north carolina has produced many noble able high minded men but no family has yet given to the state two such men in mental moral and social qualities as leonard and archibald henderson of granville some seven or eight years ago we published in the star a three column sketch of the chief justice we have supplemented this now by telling the very little we know of his illustrious brother gen grant waa at last put away in a temporary vault in

all othsr things look well to the water they drink impure water causes sickness and dis ease under the most favorable ein uni stances but when contagious ww deadly diseases are lurking around the danger is then all the greater f.>r bad water is a slow but sure poison that much of our drinking water is vilely bad goes without saying a very simple way to purify water is given by the state geologist of new jersey in the making of a cheap but j excellent filter it is the bottle filter and made by tying a string wet with turpentine around the bottom ol a quart bottle and breaking out the bottom this is done by lighting the , string and when the flame has encir cled the bottle dipping it in cold wa ter layers of tine cotton batting must then be placed in the bottle till a wad is collected that rests on the ' shoulders of the bottle and over its neck now dissolve a cup of alumn i in hot water and pour the solution in j to a cup of cold water ihis makes a filtering substance we use alum because it is the on y thing which will precipitate all impu rities in the water to the bottom for every gallon of water that it is desir ed to purify add a teaspoouful of the tillering fluid aud stir it until every particle of the animalcu'se is precipi tated this usually takes d ut live minutes then run your gallon of water thus treated through the falter j you will have your water free

send out a currency that is noi good i debts why should a great govern ment like our own have in circulation a currency that is so debased that it is really worth but 70 cents in the dol lar it isa stigma upon th very name of government and if the congress was equal to its duties an i resp msibil ' ities there would be no occasion for such i complaint to allow the people to have forced upon them

all othsr things look well to the water they drink impure water causes sickness and dis ease under the most favorable ein uni stances but when contagious ww deadly diseases are lurking around the danger is then all the greater f.>r bad water is a slow but sure poison that much of our drinking water is vilely bad goes without saying a very simple way to purify water is given by the state geologist of new jersey in the making of a cheap but j excellent filter it is the bottle filter and made by tying a string wet with turpentine around the bottom ol a quart bottle and breaking out the bottom this is done by lighting the , string and when the flame has encir cled the bottle dipping it in cold wa ter layers of tine cotton batting must then be placed in the bottle till a wad is collected that rests on the ' shoulders of the bottle and over its neck now dissolve a cup of alumn i in hot water and pour the solution in j to a cup of cold water ihis makes a filtering substance we use alum because it is the on y thing which will precipitate all impu rities in the water to the bottom for every gallon of water that it is desir ed to purify add a teaspoouful of the tillering fluid aud stir it until every particle of the animalcu'se is precipi tated this usually takes d ut live minutes then run your gallon of water thus treated through the falter j you will have your water free
