Washington Progress: The crops in the Aurora, seetion are the finest we have seen there at this season of the year for many years past. There is a lare acre age in cotton and a short acreage in corn.

For sale by Druggists. PUBLIC OPINION. The moral sense of the country Is offended at the spectacle of $25,000,000 being taken yearly from the poor by law and given to a rich monopoly. It is immoral to do such a thing. Being mere robbery, the public easil be lieves that a law to make it legal is obtained by corrupt methods. The whole protectionist system is immoral and wrong in principle and practice. The sugar trust's favors attract at tention by their evident magnitude and few beneficiaries, but the same robbing of A f ir B's benefit attends the work ing of every protectionist schedule. Baltimore Sun. The old maxim of '"find out what your enemy wants you to do, and then don't do it," sef-ms to have been su perseded by a new- "find out what the sugar trust doesn't want, and then go do it." So repugnant has the sugar trust grown to our people, a repugnance which has grown as the trust has shown its ability to secure a tariff schedule to its liking, and so inbred is the le-iief that the interests of our peopk are the opposite of those of the. trust, that all that is needed to gather support from certain quarters for a proposition is to announce that the su gar trust opposes it. Philadelphia American. The theory that Democrats are In coming protectionists can offer little encouragement to any rational observer of conditions and tendencies. Morgan may want a litth protection for Ala bama, McEnery may want some for Louisiana, and Slaydn may want it for Texas woo!, but the fact remains that these states are overwhelmingly for fr'-e trade and free silver, and neither ef them can be of the slightest service to the republicans. The fact is, the so-called Randallit.-s of congress are merely giving the republicans all the rope the latter need for self-execution. The republicans are using the rope just as the free silver leaders want thm to. Galveston News. The gam-tilers of Wall street violate the law with impunity. They have no fear of punishment. The New Y'ork Herald in speaking "of the war on bucket shops and discretionary pool houses says that these men may "be forced to undergo disagreeable expe riences in court." This, then, will be their only punishment for violation of the law. It reminds one of the tales on Colonel Carter, of Cartersville, who killed a Yankee postmaster soon after the war because he refused to sell him postage stamps on credit. In speaking of the incident, the colonel remarked: "I tell yout sah, if it hadn't been for my influential friends, sah, they would actually have got me into litigation, sah." Where are we "at" anyhow? Houston Post. During the past ten years the south has made rapid progress in supplying iron to the trade of this country and Europe. A contemporary points out that it was only a dozen years ago that the first shipment of southern iron was made to Pennsylvania. At the time it created no small amount of surprise, for it was never believed prior to that time that the south" would sell iron in the Keystone state. Statistics on this point show that shipments for April, this year, amounted, to 101,141 tons. Of this the west took P.S.207 tons, the east T.KUW tons, and Europe 32.S33 tons. Shipments to Europe so far this year amount to more than 100,000 tons, more than double the abount exported last year. It is expected that total ship ments abroad for this year will be more than twice the amount sent last. I Jradsti eet's. Oltl People.

Hie Deserts of Southeast California of the one hundred and fiftyseven thousand square miles which compose the area of California, ai.jut 3.J.0OO square miles are desert. These do not to any distinctive extent appear in the northern and central part of the state, though as you approach the Nevada line at all latitudes the country as sumes more sterile characteristics; but when you cr.ss the southern boundary oi Mono county, an extreme eastern division of the state and about mid way its length, you pass into a country which gradually assumes those quali ties and appearances which constitute a des'-rt the globe over. From a ixLht ai-.ui thirty miles wtit of the forty-fir.-1 parallel f longitule and upon the s,uth line of Mono county, southerly i ,. o hundred miles to the base of the Sierre Madre range of mountains, east to the Nevada line and the Colorado I river along the entire longitudinal dis tance, the country is all desert. For fifty miles inland following the bend of the ocean beach at and below Dos An geles there is a climate tempered! by j the sea-fogs and the cool salt breezes, but these cannot clim'b the sPopes of the Sierra Madre, the San Bernardino, and the San Jacinto mountains, so that thence to Arizona and south to the Mexican line there is ariditj', a parched dryness and a dancing heat which op presses all animal life when the sun is high, and radiates and disappears soon after the sun has set, so that even th summer nights are cool, and in winter there 'is a freezing temperature. The general aspect of this country is strange even to weirdness. It is not generally barren, but is covered by the most curious and remarkable vegeta tion. For a hundred miles you may ride through orchards of the torch cactus, its thick trunk supporting bare arms, jointed by like bare perpendicular branches, standing in roug'h nakedness and stillness. The yucca, whose cen tral stalk bears an abundance of pen dulous white flowers, shows the green blade-leaves of the palm family up all canons; and tne thorny mescal ana tne Spanish dagger, the intricate brush of greasewotd, the scrubby mesquite, tjje white sage, and the innumerable grasses which in tufts and bunches checker here and there a broad sweep of bareness, all make up a flara as cu rious as it is wonderful. Even in re gions of the maximum aridity, where the fierceness '-of the sun's rays is in tolerable to life above the grade of a lizzard, some 'defiant organisms of the vegetable kingdom will sustain thejn- selves and cling to a reluctant exist ence. It is a country, too, broken by numberless and strange mountains which generally show a barrenness, the valleys do not Viisplay; in some parta their sharp ridges and craggy peaks will line a broad valley in continuous Chain for many miles; again they will stand at varying heights, isolated high round cones or low broad lumps, leap ing su'ddenly from the flat surface ai though they were set there by some enormous hand like giant bee liives. The Country shows everywhere evi dences of the most turbulent activities of fire occurring in past geological ages. Some of the plains are mere ashes, while the mountains and elevations are black lava. Igneous dikes plunge here and there through sand stone, and the acid granite caps country rock blown out info peaks piercing far in the pale heavens. John E. Bennett, Lippincitt's Magazine. A Oueer Premonition. Psychical phenomena, or what pass for such, are attracting more attention than ever here at the present moment, as well as the proceedings of the so ciety which has been formed for the ex press purpose of examining and discus sing them. The case of the Soeur Ma rie Madeleine, is now occupying the particular attention of the members, owing to the fact that she had ex pressed her conviction that she would be burned to death at no distant date. The communication submitted to the society at the meeting which has just been held is certainly curious and in teresting. Soeur Marie Madeleine was 44 years of agre. It was in 1S77 that Mile. Julie Garivet, for such was her name, took the veil. She was in the enjoyment of excellent health, was active, of a very cheerful disposition, and therefore was entirely free from any tendency to con templation of a melancholy or morbid character. Yet she had a presentiment of her approaching end. Two months ago she told one cf her aunts, who com plained of feeling ill. that she her niece, would die before her, and a fortnight before the catastrophe she remarked to a female patient that she would not be there when she was again unwell, as she would have been brought back to the house a charred corpse. As she was leaving on Monday, May 3rd, the eve of the fatal dav, for tjie bazaar, another nun wished her good luck with her sale, whereupon she exclaimed: "My poor sister, what would you think if I were carried back burned to this house?" It was noticed that evening that Soeur Marie Madeleine was in very low spirits, and as she was starting on the following' day. never to return alive, she asked the chaplain to give her his blessing, and left with an ag onized cry. Due note was taken of this strange communication, but no explanation of the alleged phenomenon was volunteer ed by the members of the society of psychical science.

"The most vxciting performance that he gave for my amusement was the converting of a baml stick into-a native servant, who waited at table and supplied our wants. "Afterwards in his absence I tried it on and to m surprise the sam man was before me asking f jt instructions. I directed him to till the chatties in the verandah with water from the well in the compound. This he proceeded to do. When he had filled them all to overflowing I requested him to stop. He, however, took no n'otice of me and went on stolidly bringing in the water. until, in my excited imagination, it seemed that the bungalow would be washed away. "Finding that I could not arrest or stop his movements, he passingthrough me as though I did nut exist, I drew my sword and lay in wait for him. Making a slash, I apparently cut him in twain, when, lo! there were two men bringing In the water, neither of whom could I restrain or prevent from doing so. "I was completely out of my d;pch, when I heard a quiet laugh behind me, and on turning I found it was my in structor, who held up his right hand and the two men disappeared, the stick resumed its place in the veranda, anil, to crown all, there w'as not the slight est sign of any water 'having been brought in. I excitedly appealed to him for an explanation. He said that he had been present all the time, hav ing willed that he should be invisible to me. and that I should imagine myself to see and do what I thought had taken place. "In order to prove it. he asked me to step out into the c impound and direct my attention to a huge cavern, which I knew was not there before. As I entered a number of huge elephants and camels issued from it in a con tinuous stream, yet I could not touch one of them. They apparently passed over me as though I did not exist. He again raised his hand and the cavern and animals disappeared and there was no indication of an exodus of any kind." Improvements on Hie Southern. The Southern Railway Company has projected improvements at Pinner's Point. Va., which, it is expected, will be completed by September, 1S?7, and which will aggregate fully $250,000 in value. It is intended to increase the shed room by a structure 252x700 feet in capacity, 'and to add to the present yard room, making its total extent over thirteen miles. The freight sheds will be increased until they can ac commodate 155 cars, and there are also to be added a cotton ware'hiouse 8ox400 feet, a cotton compress 40xG0 feet; also repairing and machine shops, an elec tric light plant and an office building. At these wharves there is a depth of twenty-seven feet of waten, enough to accommodate steamships of the larg est size. The company has changed i its divisions somewhat, and announces the following sections: Washington, D. C, to Monroe, Va., 168 miles; Monroe to Spencer, N. C, 166 miles; Spencer to 'Greenville, S. C, 154 miles, and Greenville to Atlanta, Ga., 161 miles. It is estimated to make these changes and erect the necessary buildings at the terminals will cost $55,000. It is expected that the inauguration of the fast freight line by the Southern Railway Company will eventually erect an elevator at Pinner's Point to give it necessary facilities for export ing grain. It is authoritatively stated that already business at Pinner's Point has increased 600 'per cent. Manufacturers' Record. ' Street Car Politeness. A friend of mine was in an electric car the -other dav. After taking his seat he presently began to be very uncomfortable, for everybody seemed amused at him.- Glances were leveled in his direction, girls giggled, elderly I ladies drew the-ir faces into a pucker, and the atmosphere of the place yjas as electric as the fluid which sent the : car through srace. After a short in- ; terval the puzzled gentleman discover el that it was not he who was the ob ! jeet of mirth to his comrades on the ' road, but a poor, shy, blushing, teaj ful. trembling, trightened girl Who was ! sitting by his side. She, poor child was dressed in utre fashion, which did not please the set of people in rhat conveyance, and, evidently, she bad met with an accident, fur her clotmng was tumbled and torn, her face bruised and cut, and one hand had been wrenched, and seemed to be paining her very much. I can imagine noining 1 more brutally ill-bred and rudely ig norant and unfeeling than the behavior i of those silly girls and loys, and still more silly grown-up people, in the car. Can you? They were laughing at a child who had met with an accident on her wheel! One of the first rules to le adopted by a thoroughly polite per- I son is this: Never show surprise, ex- ' cept of the genuinely gracious kind the kind that expresses cordial interest and pleasure Never laugh at an awk- j wara predicament, as. ror example, a j fan or a mistake made by another. Be j careful to never pain anyone, friend or stranger, by ridicule or by tboughtless- ljr plain Sreaktng. Harper's PvOund Tabiet , .

One of th,. questions being asked here by politicians is what s rt of an office will ex-United States Marshal Joshua B. Hill get. S. Otho Wilson today received news that his mother-in-law. Mrst Mary A. Bobbins, of Forestville. was dying. Mr. Mewlorne. commissioner of agri culture, and J. C. L. Harris, attorney of the Uard - f agriculture, will go to Washington in a day or two to see the secretary of agriculture in regard to the settlement of the cattle quaran tine line; that is. the line of quarantine against splenetic fever. The council of state is now the public printer. So said the secretary of state today. He added that orders would be issued today that the various depart ments would send the jobs of printing to Barnes Bros., and the latter will re port then to the secretary of state, who will issue the order for the work, or rather approve the requisition. He will be aided by the auditor in this matter. The state apditor says the late leg islature imposed What he terms a stu pendous amount of work on his office, and yet allows him no extra help. Be sides this an annual appropriation of $2,500 which had heretofore leen made for contingencies in the office of the state treasurer was stricken out and he can't employ any extra help. The result of the matter, as far as the aud itorf is concerned, is that he will have to work himself. Ben. R. Smith, of Reidsville, is com missioned adjutant of the second bat talion of the Third regiment. The horticultural experiment grounds near Southern Pines are under the control of the state experiment farm and not of the agricultural depart ment. There are eighty acres, of which sixty are leased from B. Vonllerff at $1 a year, and twenty from J. VanBind ley. for the same amount, these rents being nominal. On the twenty acre tract are the cottages and other build ings. Another judgment against the de funct Tribune has been obtained. Not another copper can be squeezed out of that corporation. It was rumored that the plant had been resold, but this is denied. The late public printers. Stewart Bros., are deep in trouble again, and an attempted overcharge is again the cause. Mr. Rivers, one of the examin ers of public printing, gives me the de tails. He says: "They put in a bill for about l.noo.OOO fertilizer tax tags, which are in 'blocks of 8 and are so printed and they counted each tag singly as an 'impression.' This increased prices seven times, making the total $2,000. I while the proper bill was $225. I allowed the bill on their statement that they could furnish these tags singly if they were so disposed. I did not know the law required each 'impression' to be of a block of eight tickets. Ex-Secretary Bruner explained the matter to me as to this and I have now made a state ment that only $225 should be paid. The further the matter of Stewart Bros. overcharge is hoked into the worse it gets."

HO Patchwork! One of the most encourapiriK. feature of a cute raaile by S.S.S.(Swift's SpeciSc) is its pemanency. Of all diseases, it if well known that those of the blood are the r-iot obstinate, and therefore the no't difficult to cure. The medical profession, in fact, have virtually ad united that a real, deepseated blood di-easc is leyonJ their skill. Of course, their admission is not made ia so many word's, l::t actions speak loeder than words, and their inability to cure, after months and often years of treatment, is suf.icicnt evidence that dis eases of the blood cannot le cured by doctor;. Their mercurial mixtures, al though taken faithfully, only cover tip the symptoms of the imeasc, inducing the patient to feel that lie is lacing cured; but when he is sooner or liter seized with stitt joints, pain in the lones, etc, the evidence of the doctor's patchwork is conclusive. Such results cannot le ex pected from the use of S. S. S. rein purely vegetable, containing no harm ful mineral ingredients, it is the only blood remedy which acts ou the true principle of forcing the disease from the system, building up rather than tearing dovn the health.

I Myers, of loo Mulberry street, Newark, N.J. , mule the mistake of re lying upon remedies based upon mineral ingredients, and for the hundreds of dollars which he invested received only disappointment in return. He says : 'I was afflicted with a terrible' blood disease, which was in spots at first, but afterwards spread all over my body. These soon broke out into sores, and it is easy to imagine the suffering I en dured. "Before I became convinced that the doctors could do no good I had spent a hundred dollars, which was really thrown away. I then tried vari ous patent medicines, but thev did not reach the disease. When I had finished my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly improved and was delighted with the result. The large red splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entitely. I regained my lost weight, became strong er, and my appetite greatly improved.
