The Earthquake and the Tar Heels.
NEW TO-DAY.
MlSC E LL A N EOUS BUSI N ESS.
I was in court when a colored man was
being tried for killing another colored
man, and, on asking why his jury was
wholly white, was told that he was given
the choice of being tried by his own color
or by whites, and he chose the whites—
wisely, it seemed to me, as he got off with
seven years’ sentence, instead of life or
worse. While listening to the trial of
this case every one, excepting a very few,
hastened out of the court room aud down
stairs, and in a few moments tiled back
into their places. The judge remarked:
“Gentlemen, the shock is past, and we
will proceed with the case.” Yet I had
not felt any jar or tremor, but both white
and black natives are very sensitive re
garding earthquakes; the one manifests it
by fear, and the other by nightly prayer
meetings ever since the great shock. At
Morganton I was told that the colored
churches had not been closed since the
latter event, and that meetings were held
every night in the week.—Raleigh Co!».

Tobogganing in Canada.
Said a Canadian to a scribe recently:
“ Tobogganing is essentially a Canadian
sport. Not because Canada is the land of
winter snows, but because Canadian life,
Canadian manners are not the manners of
the ‘states.’ You may say all you please
about our slowness, our want of enter
prise; that we out-English the English in
our snobbishness; still, the fact remains
that we manage to get a great deal of en
joyment out uf life. Of course a great
deal is said about the fast life of Ameri
cans; but I believe with the majority the
trouble lies more in the long hours of
work in which you indulge. I can’t see
where the rapid life comes in, unless it be
the slow, steady grind for 300 (lay in the
year. Now, tobogganing, like a great
many other of our sports, cannot lie
taken up at odd hours. To thoroughly
enjoy <i tobogganing party one should
have the whole afternoon and evening;
and when you get into bed at night you
feel as if you had really been doing some
thing worth talking about. The average
Canadian works, as a rule, about half the
day. The remainder is pretty well taken
up with sports of some kind or another,
especially in winter.—Buffalo Express,
