T/VKII I- OPINION*.
Bill WIbUAM WIIEEMIOOHB at tho
British Association for thr Advanouiont
of Science, now in session ut Ismdon,
ascribed the commercial depression o'
tho country to the operation of Iroo-trudc
laws, and advocated u return to a pro
tective tariff. According to this wiseacre
thu way to restore trade is to restrict it*
operations still further; people arc buy
ing and soiling too littlu now; wo must
cause them to buy and sell less, and
litiio* Will be better. But how does Sir
William acoount for tho depression in
the United State*.-- Chicago A'<■;*.
J’enple huy and sell ull thoy can pay
for now u* ever.
The ability to pay depends on the
wage-earning capacity of the worker, and
thu world * mailt t for what ho produces
at given period*.
Production, commerce, tratio, run in
cycles of elevation and depression, und
always have.
Tho condition ol n country under any
given policy, (roe trade or protection, i*
no basis for nn arguuiont favoring this or
that country.
What is best for a oeuntry under all
the circumstances of its development is
the question for that country to settle.
In the United State* wc have advanc
ed under the promotion policy at a rate
never knowu, and still wo don't yet make
ouough woolen, ootton or iron articles to
supply the home market.
Wc mnko thirty per oent. more stool
rail* than England, and as many n* Eng
land and Uoraiany together, and still im
port them from England and Germany.
We huy $35,000,000 worth of cotton
and $70,000,000 wortli of woolen goods
abroad, aud jet wo have increased our
out put under protection many, many
fo'd iu twenty years.
Our workuieD arc better off than those
of any other country In the world.
ll.nl wo gone nn tho free trade theory
and practice tho nation to-day would sim
ply he a caterer ro English and European
lardera, without more variety of industry
than may be found in any souii vivibzed
country.
Neither prices nor supplies Would be
as satisfactory in this country if we de
pended on foreigners for manufactured
goods, as thoy now are.
Wo oould have attained nothing of
national independence except by stiff
protection.
Maybe we may bo ready soon to give

A lISAI HjWtAtriPtAT SKA. 2
It the Sepoy revolt
in Farther India,And the date of the
narrative oororioticca with September,.
1857. The Sepoys hud risen in aruis,-
and were bidding open defiance to the
power of the Kngljsh armies. The nn
tive Knglisi,moa who had gone to India
in tlie delusion uT suddenly becoming in
dependently ri(h were hewn to the
ground by the relentless swords and bat
tle axes of the aatives. Wives and ba
bies were tied to the stake ami made to
undorgo the most sickening tortures.
The extermination oontinuod until hardly
an Englishman was left in the country.
A few took refuge in the jungles, whore
tho wild beasts of tho forosts wore less
to be feared than the inhuman cruelty
of tbo natives. With this state ofaffaiis
in one of her recently ol tained domin
ions, England began preparations lor
war. Besides the regularly enlisted
army there were thousands who volun
teered to go, und among them some of
tho best blood in England. Whenever
it was practicable the officers would take
their families, and when tho fleet was
ready to sail it seemed as if all England
was going to empty her population into
India.
Tho one whom this stoiy mostly con
cerns was Sir Edward Courtney, a rela
tive of the illusirious General Francis
Havelock, the great English commander.
Sir Edward was young, then in his twen
ty-fourth year, but a brave and ga’lant
man, and aftciward a n.iblo officer, full
of judgment and courage. After a tern
posluous voyage, during which many
died, a landing was mad* on the southoni
coast of India, and the next day the
forces of the English were drawn up on
the *horo, and tho march for the interior
cODimenood. The route led through
rugged mountain steeps and low marshy
valleys, on every side the journey was he
set with attacks from tho enemy con
cealed in ambush. After wandering over
hills until provisions were almost ex
hausted, a council of war wus held. Sir
Edward Court my was present, and ad
vised that the army he broken up in di
visions and suti divisions, and a raid
made on evoiy town in tho coumrv He
hiuiself would lead one o! the companies
The plans wore adopted, and tho army
separated in divisions. Sir Edward rodo
in command o! 2,000, and led an attack
on Calcutta. Early in the day ho was
eatried mortally woundod fiom tho bat
tlrfiold. A heavy missile had struck
bin unconscious to the ground, lie wa*
taken to a tamp near C iloul ta, and uf.er
ward removed to one ol the ships, where
he breathed Ids last just twenty hours af
ter ho had received his wound.
It was hi* dying wi-h that his body
should be taken to England for burial.
His relatives and friends lived there,
und he had promised his mother, ono of
the royal ladies ol thu court, that he
would return to England dead or ahvo.
It was hard to comply with tho request
The enemy had pnt forward a stubborn
and bold front. All of the men were
needed in the engagements. It wr,
however, agreed that a small craft should
he li tied up to carry the remains to Eng
land. It was to he manned by sixteen
men, and I was assigned to the prepare
tton and care of the body during the
voyage. Two days later everything was
ready to sail. Tho remains were safely
packed in gin and spioes, anl enough
provisions were on board to las! and uring
the trip, provided we did not lose our
oourse or become disabled at se i. We
set sail one bright, sunny morning, with
Uaptain lloddiog in command. [ shall
always remember that man for the he
roic nerve he displayed in an instance
which occurred about two month* after
we had left port.
The Southern ocean seemed to smile
from its blue, coral depths, and every
body agreed that tho voyage had been
begun under favorable oireomstanees;
and notwithstanding the sad mission of
our sea journey, the best of spints
prevailed. All was well until on tho
night we reached the Capo of God Hope.
The clouds were charged with thunder
and lightning. The wind roared in our
masts. Nothing could be done, li was
a fearful night and uo one oa board eveo
hoped to see the light of another sun
After the storm had cleared awav we
drifted,God knows whither, without rud
uer to guide or sails to propel. Thieo of
our men bad been swept overboard and
swallowed up in the gurgling sea. We
wete aloue oo tho ocean helpless, ami
with but a limited supply of provision-.
Our craft drifted wes wa-d and to the
north. Our only hope was to bail some
passing steamer, and thus bo saved from
the fste of starvation and a watery gtave.
The most thrilling part of my narra
tive is to come yet. We bad probably
been at sea a month. No sign of land
and no godsend in the way of a steamer
had Heeked the horixjn. The provisions
grew scantier by the day. Finally noth
ing was left but a few crusts of broad. I
had a private lurid of edibles, which 1
had packed securely in my chest, and of
which the sailors knew nothing. Star
vation knocked at our doors. Two days
we drifted, with nothing to satisfy the
terrible hunger of our stomachs. Mat
ters reached a desperate turn. Some
thing must be done, or we would all pol
ish with hunger. The Captain ami I
tried to put on a bold front. We encour
aged the men to resist tho gnawing in
their stomachs a little while longer, and
looked forward to a brighter day. it was
Ia sad picture to see those men perched
j upon the elevations on tiro boat gazing
| in vain over the briny deep in search of
j something which might bring them the
j long-hoped for relief. One day we tv
j (iced that the men said nothing. We
! knew they were pinched almost to death
with hunger, and wondered why they had
I ceased to complain, That night the
mystery was explained. A few hours
after 1 hud retired 1 was aroused by vig
orous knocking at my door, arid, upon
awakening inqu'red the cause oftlre on
Visual noise.
g-> “We want tho key* to the olrcst in
which Courtney’s body is preserved,”
was the response.
I my bunk and hurriedly
dressed anu vurne out to ask what it all
meant.
‘‘lt means,” said one of tho men,
“that wcarc dying with hunger, and
have determined to eat ,tho remain* of
the doad passenger.”
and called the Captain. H>„ threatened
Iris men with puui -hrnont, and drew a
long sabre to defend the keys to thu olrest
where Courtney’s remains were encased,
with hi* life. But it was of no use. The
men were determined, and I was forced
to deliver over the keyf.
The Captain and I stood by and saw
the hortihle least of the scan-on. First
they drew the gin which covered the
body. This was strained and put away
into jars, to be u.-cd with their victual* ol
human flush. The body was divided be
tween them. Tho Captain and l were
each proffered an arm. The poor
creatures devoured the meal voraciously.
When the flesh had been gnawed from
thu bonus they were placed iu the chest,
to he boiled after wc reached our desti
nation, if such a hope could be enter
tained. Two days elapsed uud starvation
again visited our little ship. Tho flush of
the dead Courtney hud Leon consumed,
and not a fragment remained as an
evidence. I shuddered when I thought
that the next step Wjuld ba to draw lots
to determine who sbou'd be slaughtered
to satisfy the common hunger. The step,
however, was never taken. After sailing,
as we thought, almost an age, We drifted
in sight of an English trading vessel. We
hailed her, and two hours after wc were
all on board. Wo had drifted almost
2,000 miles from where the storm first
came upon ua. Wc arrived at our desti
nation safe, und each man attended tho
solemn mass which was said over tho

whose flesh had been devoured to satisfy
the rapacity of hunger, and had saved tiro
lives of 16 men. Chamber* Journal.
A NOI.TII tZKOI-INA KOMAM K.
The correspond* nt of one of the Cin
einoatt paper-, writing from Jamestuwn,
N. C., says : This quaint old pluco,
which lies iti the ccntie of one ul the
Quaker settlements, wa* during the war
a luvorite ro.-ort of ‘‘refugees,’’ by wh'oh
name wete designated those person
who.ro homes in the eastern section oft lie
State were inside the danger line, or in
counties already hold by tlie Federal
troop*. 11l this slei py town these louud
a haven of refuge, and made themselves
comfortable, to remain while the war
lamed. They brought hither their mon
oy, and in the old fashioned bank stared
confederate hond.4 and currency in greai
smounts. The erush came, in the fatal
1865, and Storeman’s raiders whirled
down *o near that most of the refugees
prepared to fly. A litrle later the war
ended. The big old safe, ns solemn as
the grave, ami as chary of its secrets, was
shut. But fi-w of the depositors had
withdrawn the now valueless currency i:
contained.
Borne of the refugees had died, other
had been suddenly called away, others at
tho last nioiuont, amid ail the excitement
of the hour, left. Tho bank, a dead cor
poration, eeasod to exist, dying a- it had
lived —lazily. Years rolled by, each
making tho old safe and it* secret* more
solemn still, as it stood cobwebbcd, in
ouc of tho lower rooms of the gloomy old
brick bank building.
Rumors of its content* being of value
began to be created in the fertile (laid,
imagination, and it wns whi-p.rcd that
in its deop recesses lay piles of solid sil
ver, vast quantities of bonds, jewelry
worth a Priuoo’s ransom, and finally the
contents of the safe became a matror of
daily conjecture. Last year the "boom”
in Confederate bonds began.
Sleepy old Jamostowu was insensible
to “boom.” The word was too ucw.
What of it? But, nevertheless, ono day
two hoary-headed old officers of the long
dead hank hobbled to it, open:d the
door and entered the nin.-ty room, in a
recess of which sat the great safe. Th y
tried the lock ; it would not open. A
locksmith was sent for, fut even hi.
uftnris wore unsuccessful. The old men
gave up the attempt; hut others took up
the wo’-k. Keen speculators bent the
hearts on gutting into the safe. A mac,
modern in his ideas, said he would sce
that it was forced, hut kept his own
con use f.
On Wednesday last another pr.v?-
sion, if so it might bo termed, entered
the building, one of the men who com
posed it being a man whose bullet-head
and cropped hair gave him the aspect of
a criminal. Ho looked at the safe. The
others retired. Half an hour later there
was an explosion. Returning, the pu-ly
found the door of the sale opeu. The
man, a pardoned convict from tlie peni
tentiary at Raleigh, who in bygone days
had been a ‘‘cracksman,” had made
speedy work concerning the antique safe.
The old man, cx-cnnviot, two speculators
in Coi federate bonds, and half a dozen
spectators were in the room, while out
side were a curious crowd of perhaps one
hundred.
The sale was ransacked. From its ca
pacious depths were taken out quite $3,-
000,000 in Confederate bonds, while
uearly a million in State bonds, and as
much in Confederate and State currency
was also discovered.
The bonds were tied in rolls or in
boxes, and the Dames of thu owners
could be found in but one case. Ou a
large roll, the largest, was found the
uauie. "Adam Exam, 1863.” Unrolled,
the bundle was found to contain 1,500
SI,OOO Confederate bonds. What tho
long dead owner hud paid I ull value for,
and what had for long years been so
winch paper only, had again become of
worth by one of the strangest financial
movements of modern times, for the
bonds were worth $5.50 rer SI,OOO.
But strange a* past events might seem,
future ones were Oven more curious. It
was found that Exnm had gone to
Charleston, 8. Q„ in October, 1863, and
nothing had been beard of him.
H:s son, a sol lyjp, bad been wounded,
had married alter tho war in Virginia,
had come Luck to North Carolina, died
in 1871, his wile following him a year
later, and their child, a girl, had been
placed iu an or; hen asylum. The action
of the ex-bank officers was prompt and
just. When told about the girl, so poor,
so desolate, they sold the bonds, on
which wuro her grandfather’s name, and
sent the money they brought, $8,250, to
a Raleigh bank, notifying the superinten
dent of tho orphan usyfum where the
girl was being oared lor.
The case is a curious one in all its as
pects, and is attracting much attention
in tho State wherever known. The girl
is intelligent ami modest, and though no
great fortune com-.-s to her, yet the
strangeness of jtaootniag gives it an in
terest which would not ordinarily attach
to it. The girl ha* been sent to a lead
iug school.

O. E. Uibb gives Ms experience with
an incubator in the Rural Kew Yorker,
which is fur from flattering. Following
are a few extracts:
I have owned and run an iucu' ator for
three years. It is ofu pattern most ex
tensively adverti-ud, and probably one of
the best iu the market; capacity 100
eggs. It requires about one quart of oil
per day to run it, or five gallons for a sin
gle hatch. With ordinary eggs [ get
i'oriy and fifty chirks per 100 eggs. In
three years 1 have medal out 1,200 egg-,
and have obtained 543 ch oks. My eggs
average übout three cents each iu value,
and it costs mo ono cent an egg to run
the machine, for nil, making the total
cost t 4 per 100 erg-. I lie average cost
of a chick when ha'ehed is nine cents,
ill iai*inp tho chink* 1 have thus far
made aim -t total failure. My first at
tempt was to put ti.e chicks under hens
that had been .rota..g th co week*. I
divided seventy chicks b .tween five hen*,
, ut.mg the uhiuks uuder after dark, re
moving the dummy eggs on which they
had been sitting. By seven o'clock the
m xt morning three oftho five had killed
haft their chicks and nothing could in*
duco them to adopt the incubated little
things. INin were not -o fastidious and
made good mothers. Ith n tried arti
ficial mot! er.- and abandoned their use
because chicks raised in them will cost
mein care, feed, fuel, etc., not less than
$1 each when ready tor market.
For eight years I have kept from 75 to
125 lien*. Tho aggregated result is a
considerable sum on ilie wrong side ol
the prnfir and 10.-s. I have never seen a
man who hus kept a * milar number who
who has not met with a similar result.
