THE YOUNG IN POLITICS. <lb/>
We usually associate statecraft <lb/>
with gray hairs; many <lb/>
of the men who have distinguished <lb/>
themselves in politics have Won <lb/>
their first laurels early. The Wash- <lb/>
Star presents this long <lb/>
At the very beginning of the <lb/>
Republic, Thomas Jefferson, in <lb/>
the Continental Congress, wrote <lb/>
the Declaration of Independence <lb/>
when he was thirty-three. He <lb/>
had entered the Virginia <lb/>
at twenty-six, had obtain- <lb/>
ed prominence there- <lb/>
Alexander Hamilton surpassed <lb/>
his great opponent, Jefferson, in <lb/>
early advancement He was a <lb/>
member of Congress at twenty-five, <lb/>
and a member of President Wash- <lb/>
Cabinet at thirty-two. <lb/>
James Madison was a Congress- <lb/>
man at twenty-eight, and John <lb/>
Randolph at twenty-six, while John <lb/>
Quincy Adams was appointed <lb/>
Minister to England and the <lb/>
at twenty-seven. <lb/>
Washington himself had been <lb/>
a striking instance of precocity in <lb/>
the public service, for he was <lb/>
appointed of the <lb/>
Virginia troops at nineteen, at <lb/>
twenty-four received the chief com- <lb/>
of the Virginia forces, and <lb/>
was but forty-three when he took <lb/>
command of the American army at <lb/>
Cambridge. <lb/>
Daniel Webster entered Con- <lb/>
at thirty, and Henry Clay <lb/>
was a Senator at twenty- <lb/>
nine, before he was of constitution- <lb/>
age- Clay had previously won <lb/>
a reputation as a member of <lb/>
the Kentucky Legislature- He <lb/>
was elected speaker of the Nation- <lb/>
House of Representatives at <lb/>
thirty-four. <lb/>
John C. Calhoun entered the <lb/>
South Carolina Legislature at <lb/>
twenty-five, and Congress at- <lb/>
At thirty-five he became <lb/>
Secretary War and occupied the <lb/>
office seven years. <lb/>
Andrew Jackson was a marvel <lb/>
precocity. . He had carried a flint- <lb/>
lock musket, as a soldier of the <lb/>
Revolutionary Army, at the age <lb/>
of fourteen. At twenty-three he <lb/>
was appointed by Washington <lb/>
Attorney of Tennessee. <lb/>
He was a United States Senator at <lb/>
thirty. He did not reach the <lb/>
until he was sixty-two. <lb/>
John C. was the <lb/>
Vice-President the conn- <lb/>
try ever had. He was elected on <lb/>
the ticket with Buchanan when he <lb/>
was thirty-five. He had been <lb/>
a member of Congress at thirty- <lb/>
General Grant was the youngest <lb/>
President country had ever <lb/>
had; he was elected at forty-six. <lb/>
s But at thirty-nine he was unknown- <lb/>
In the present National House <lb/>
of Representatives seven members <lb/>
are the age of thirty-three, <lb/>
and, this is not an <lb/>

HOW TO PLEASE THE GIRLS. <lb/>
Some Plain Talk to Young; Men Who <lb/>
Think Themselves Pretty <lb/>
Chicago Globe. <lb/>
From the time you begin to pay <lb/>
attention to any set of girls yon <lb/>
want to study to please them, and <lb/>
you want to keep on studying as <lb/>
long as yon live. Don't try to get <lb/>
out of it by saying that yon haven't <lb/>
much money, and that everything <lb/>
that girls like costs an awful lot. <lb/>
The poorest of you manage to find <lb/>
money enough to keep yourselves <lb/>
on good terms with the boys. You <lb/>
have some habit or indulgence <lb/>
which you spend money to <lb/>
Think the matter over and make <lb/>
your mind which you like best <lb/>
the boys, your own pet <lb/>
cations or the girls. If yon can't <lb/>
put the girls first yon had <lb/>
drop them. It may be hard to do, <lb/>
but it's easier and less humiliating <lb/>
than to have them drop you. If <lb/>
you haven't much to do with, do <lb/>
the best yon with what you <lb/>
have- No more will be expected <lb/>
of you than what you can do. <lb/>
Don't drop into sentimental <lb/>
dismalness because you buy <lb/>
an opera box like some city swell, <lb/>
or drive a fast horse like some <lb/>
smart fellow in the country- It is <lb/>
not so much the cost of what you <lb/>
do as the way you do it that the <lb/>
girl will notice and talk about. If <lb/>
you'll be man enough to study a <lb/>
girl's tastes and gentleman enough <lb/>
to think about them real hard, yon <lb/>
will find ways of showing what sort <lb/>
of stuff is in yon, no matter how <lb/>
poor yon are. . <lb/>
Usually girls get up all the <lb/>
parties, and the young men accept <lb/>
such affairs as naturally as if they <lb/>
were meals at home or the board- <lb/>
house, or something else to <lb/>
which they are entitled, instead <lb/>
of special courtesies, which deserve <lb/>
rial recognition. It isn't custom <lb/>
for a young fellow to get up parties <lb/>
on his own but he ought <lb/>
to have enough <lb/>
manners to devise means of <lb/>
returning the compliments. <lb/>
If he can't do it with his own <lb/>
purse and brains he can got some <lb/>
other fellow to help. Any two or <lb/>
three clever young fellows can <lb/>
find plenty of ways of entertaining <lb/>
or amusing their entertainers if <lb/>
they will pool their brains and <lb/>
pocket-books. If they're not clever <lb/>
the best thing they can do is to <lb/>
make themselves so as soon as <lb/>
possible, for they can't ever expect <lb/>
to be with the without <lb/>
it . <lb/>
Don't imagine yourselves <lb/>
because you spend time think- <lb/>
what lovely things yon would <lb/>
do for the girls if you only had lots <lb/>
of money. Any fool can do that <lb/>
and yet die as mean as a skinflint- <lb/>
It takes thinking and work and <lb/>
self denial for any one to be <lb/>
unless he has a great deal more <lb/>
money than he knows what to do <lb/>
with, and nobody ever knew a man <lb/>
as rich as that- Besides there are <lb/>
plenty of ways of doing nice things <lb/>
for the girls spending <lb/>
much money, and you'll find out <lb/>
some of them if only you'll be he intended that <lb/>
generous with your time and wits. I clothed properly <lb/>
TRYING TO BEAT <lb/>
A convict of the Indiana <lb/>
hit the nail on the head when <lb/>
his downward course be- <lb/>
He said it began in trying to <lb/>
beat 2.40 with a horse. How <lb/>
many people in all branches of <lb/>
are trying to beat 2-40 with a <lb/>
3.00 business- The man who has <lb/>
a small business that is paying <lb/>
him, and goes into debt and tries <lb/>
to spread himself over too many <lb/>
eggs, is trying to beat 2-40 with a <lb/>
8.90 horse- The young man who <lb/>
gets a all salary, and spends <lb/>
more fr ice cream and perfumery <lb/>
neckties than he earns, is <lb/>
trying to bent 3-00 horse. <lb/>
The girl who is calculated by <lb/>
nature to the wife of a <lb/>
and gets above her business arid <lb/>
looks with scorn a man who <lb/>
earns his living by hard work, will <lb/>
look at an old maid in the glass a <lb/>
few years from now, and realize <lb/>
that she has been trying to beat <lb/>
2-40 with a 3-00 horse. <lb/>
The ordinary, every day sort of a <lb/>
man, who is elected to a small <lb/>
office with a big majority, on ac- <lb/>
count of men voting for him for <lb/>
charity, and who thereupon aspires <lb/>
to a big office for which he is <lb/>
fitted, will be nominated for the <lb/>
big office some day and be beaten <lb/>
higher than a kite, and he will then <lb/>
feel of his aching head, examine <lb/>
his empty pocketbook, look around <lb/>
at the debts he has <lb/>
the enemies lie has made, and it <lb/>
will suddenly come to him that he <lb/>
has been trying to boat 2.40 with a <lb/>
3-00 horse- The men or women <lb/>
who leave a profession or <lb/>
to which they are fitted, and <lb/>
in which they can be prosperous <lb/>
and happy and have friends, and <lb/>
go upon the stage to with <lb/>
men and women who have been <lb/>
brought to it, and who have <lb/>

A Child's Early Influences. <lb/>
Nothing is so easily spoiled as a <lb/>
child.- Walk with your little babe <lb/>
a few nights when you wish to put <lb/>
it- to sleep ; or accustom it to rock- <lb/>
then attempt to put it to sleep <lb/>
without this habit, and see how <lb/>
difficult it will be to get it to sleep. <lb/>
The parent must from the begin- <lb/>
of the child's existence do <lb/>
those things to which the child is <lb/>
to conform. It is allowing children <lb/>
to have their own way during the <lb/>
first few years of their lives that <lb/>
makes them so hard to control. <lb/>
Before they are able to talk they <lb/>
are being molded by the actions <lb/>
of those around them. <lb/>
It is therefore highly important <lb/>
that from the beginning the best <lb/>
influence and example should be <lb/>
about the child- It is a serious <lb/>
mistake in parents to commit their <lb/>
children wholly into the hands of <lb/>
a nurse. No parent can afford to <lb/>
do this, oven though they have a <lb/>
very kind and careful nurse. <lb/>
Every mother desires that her <lb/>
child bear the impress of her own <lb/>
image. This cannot be when it <lb/>
with the nurse more than with the <lb/>
mother. <lb/>
For people have any idea of the <lb/>
extent of the part performed by <lb/>
nurses in the information of society- <lb/>
Many a mother wonders where her <lb/>
son or daughter learned these <lb/>
things, or formed that habit, or <lb/>
heard such and such express <lb/>
ion. Let her listen a few minutes <lb/>

THE <lb/>
The county Democratic <lb/>
met here last Saturday for the <lb/>
of selecting delegates to <lb/>
the State convention which meets <lb/>
n on the 18th inst The <lb/>
unrest has seemed to exist <lb/>
among the masses made this an <lb/>
occasion of much interest to every <lb/>
true lover of good government. <lb/>
No one the result of such a <lb/>
meeting until after it had been <lb/>
held- We don't know that we ever <lb/>
saw a representative body of <lb/>
in this or any <lb/>
The appearance of <lb/>
the which composed it <lb/>
was a guarantee of the fact that <lb/>
the people had selected the very <lb/>
best and intelligent and best <lb/>
informed men of the county to rep- <lb/>
resent them in this convention <lb/>
Another thing not less noticeable <lb/>
was the fact that it was a <lb/>
Democratic convention de- <lb/>
to keep in <lb/>
the old banner that has been tried <lb/>
and never found wanting as it has <lb/>
waved over North Carolina for the <lb/>
past twenty years. The men who <lb/>
largely composed this convention <lb/>
were men who were born and <lb/>
raised Democrats and who have <lb/>
been battling too long for its <lb/>
principles to be led away by any <lb/>
will-o-the-wisp of disappointed pol- <lb/>
The work of the <lb/>
convention was transacted with <lb/>
perfect harmony- Not a single <lb/>
jar occurring from the <lb/>
to the adjournment of the <lb/>
body. Most of the men selected as <lb/>
delegates to the State convention <lb/>
can be depended upon to <lb/>
sent the county in the convention, <lb/>
and we predict that with such <lb/>
sterling men and Democrats, who <lb/>
compose the delegation that Pitt <lb/>
will stand in the front rank <lb/>
of Democracy when the <lb/>
shall assemble in <lb/>
The delegates were not instructed. <lb/>
There were do resolutions of en- <lb/>
or condemnation of any <lb/>
body- It was believed that the <lb/>
delegates could be trusted to look <lb/>
to the best interest of the <lb/>
the State and Democracy- It is <lb/>
just, however, to say that there <lb/>
were which had already <lb/>
been prepared strongly endorsing <lb/>
CoL Skinner but it was not <lb/>
thought necessary or prudent that <lb/>
they should be introduced. They <lb/>
evidently would have passed with <lb/>
a vim- The delegates will support <lb/>
Col. Skinner for any position to <lb/>
which he may aspire. <lb/>
A large majority of the delegates <lb/>
who are members of the Alliance <lb/>
are among the best Democrats who <lb/>
compose the delegation. We are <lb/>
glad to believe that the Alliance <lb/>
of Pitt county is fully identified <lb/>
with the Democratic party and <lb/>
there was no effort in the <lb/>
to show otherwise. We be- <lb/>
the sentiment is growing that <lb/>
reforms must come not only in <lb/>
North Carolina but in the United <lb/>
States through the Democratic <lb/>
party. We have all to lose and <lb/>
nothing to gain by any divisions <lb/>
in our ranks, and we trust that <lb/>
wisdom and prudence will mark <lb/>
the action of the convention in <lb/>
Raleigh on the 18th, and that when <lb/>
it shall have adjourned there may <lb/>
be presented to the people for <lb/>
their suffrages a ticket that shall <lb/>
heal seeming differences, and we <lb/>
believe when the roll is called that <lb/>
Pitt county will cast her vote to <lb/>
this end. All of us may not get <lb/>
our preferences but we believe <lb/>
that there still lingers enough <lb/>
patriotism to sacrifice personal <lb/>
aspirations and pet theories and <lb/>
schemes, and work for the common <lb/>
good of the entire people of North <lb/>
Carolina- To this end we trust <lb/>
oUr efforts may be directed and <lb/>
they will be crowned with <lb/>
victory in the end- <lb/>
found a Board that had the nerve <lb/>
or the welfare of the town <lb/>
ought at tackle the <lb/>
and provide the town with ab- <lb/>
solute necessities. It was almost <lb/>
enough to make a paper drop <lb/>
such a subject in disgust, but as a <lb/>
new Town Council had just been <lb/>
elected the Reflector raised the <lb/>
the question again last week <lb/>
threw out some timely hints, hop- <lb/>
they might strike a responsive <lb/>
chord in some of the new members. <lb/>
In making that prophecy last <lb/>
week we little dreamed that there <lb/>
was so soon to be a fulfillment of <lb/>
it though knew the town stood <lb/>
in immediate danger of just such, <lb/>
and it might be looked for sooner <lb/>
or later. And inside of five days <lb/>
after giving the warning two lots <lb/>
are swept clear of buildings, one <lb/>
of the chief sufferers being a widow <lb/>
who saw everything she had soup <lb/>
in smoke and herself and three <lb/>
daughters left in the street- <lb/>
To change the subject, here is <lb/>
an opportunity for our people to <lb/>
show their charity most worthily- <lb/>
Now a word to the new Council- <lb/>
man. Gentlemen, you see tho need <lb/>
of the things the is <lb/>
talking about. Will you take steps <lb/>
to supply them Don't raise the <lb/>
flimsy excuse that there is not <lb/>
money enough to do anything <lb/>
with. If the retiring Co did <lb/>
not levy tax enough to do any- <lb/>
thing with you put the town in <lb/>
debt for what is needed and then <lb/>
at the close of your present term <lb/>
raise the levy sufficient to pay out. <lb/>
Oh tax tax some of the prop- <lb/>
holders are ready to say, and <lb/>
raise their hands in horror and <lb/>
cry wants us <lb/>
you tax is <lb/>
just what we are after. Half of <lb/>
you could be run all over town <lb/>
with a cent tax, but let a fire come <lb/>
and you are heard yelling water <lb/>
water as loud as anybody, when <lb/>
f-z. <lb/>
AWAY WITH <lb/>
The is not mad this <lb/>
morning, but it feels like doing <lb/>
some straight talking, without <lb/>
caring much who wants to kick <lb/>
and howl about it <lb/>
It is a crying shame on the town <lb/>
that property of the citizens is left <lb/>
at the of flames, as was <lb/>
in Sunday evening's fire, <lb/>
and all because there is not the <lb/>
proper for protection <lb/>
against fire. Water is looked <lb/>
upon cheapest thin on <lb/>
earth, but It was the vary thing <lb/>
that could not be had Sunday <lb/>
evening, and now a number of bare <lb/>
surrounded If- heaps of <lb/>
ruins and ashes mark <lb/>
the folly of a people who are living <lb/>
folly a half century behind the <lb/>
times- <lb/>
If there is any one the <lb/>
Reflector during its existence has <lb/>
talked and clamored for mote than <lb/>
another it is for plenty of water in <lb/>
Greenville and the <lb/>
u know there is not a bucket full <lb/>
to be had short of the river. If <lb/>
you haven't got wisdom enough to <lb/>
to be taxed for the protection <lb/>
of your own property you need- a <lb/>
guardian, and the town Council <lb/>
should take the matter in hand and <lb/>
provide what you need, whether <lb/>
you want it or not. The town will <lb/>
never be anything until it pays <lb/>
more taxes and more of the <lb/>
are provided. <lb/>
Another suggestion to the new <lb/>
Council- The old Board wasted <lb/>
enough the past year on one use- <lb/>
less policeman to have dug a <lb/>
dozen wells or built half as many <lb/>
cisterns- Two day policemen were <lb/>
not needed one-fourth of the time. <lb/>
Improve on this, and one <lb/>
policeman when only one is needed <lb/>
and put on more when you are <lb/>
convinced of its being a necessity. <lb/>
We will wait to see what the new <lb/>
Council will do. <lb/>
Lastly. This closes our present <lb/>
sermon- If what the Reflector <lb/>
has said is too true for some of you <lb/>
and don't set good, call around at <lb/>
o'clock next Monday morning <lb/>
let's settle it- the <lb/>
please. <lb/>
After the days devoted to <lb/>
the meeting of the Association, <lb/>
and a few days sight seeing in the <lb/>
Golden Gate State, the return will <lb/>
be made by the northern route and <lb/>
Northern Pacific through the north <lb/>
west on to St. Paul, thou the Wis- <lb/>
Central or the Chicago and <lb/>
North Western to Chicago, then <lb/>
over the B- O. to the East to <lb/>
Baltimore and Washington, then <lb/>
back home- <lb/>
Some idea of the extent of the <lb/>
trip can be had from the fact that <lb/>
it will occupy near or quite a month <lb/>
and embrace twenty-six States, the <lb/>
lino of travel as mapped out pass- <lb/>
portions of North <lb/>
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, <lb/>
Florida. Alabama, Tennessee, Mis <lb/>

pleasure to such a <lb/>
it will afford an opportunity <lb/>
of learning more of our country <lb/>
than could be had from months of <lb/>
constant reading. <lb/>
During the absence of the editor <lb/>
the will be left in the <lb/>
hands of our excellent Foreman, <lb/>

Since the spoke of <lb/>
Senator Willis B. Williams being <lb/>
a candidate for State Auditor we <lb/>
have seen strong endorsement of <lb/>
him in papers from various sec- <lb/>
of the State. He gains <lb/>
strength every day- <lb/>
quote the following from the <lb/>
Progressive <lb/>
our State government, <lb/>
under twenty years of Democratic <lb/>
rule, has not been all it might have <lb/>
been, has not been perfect, and <lb/>
we need never expect perfection <lb/>
politics ; yet the contrast has <lb/>
been so great between Republican <lb/>
rule from to 1870, and Demo- <lb/>
rule since, that our people <lb/>
are let loose risk worse <lb/>
things- Many people will vote tho <lb/>
ticket on account of the name; <lb/>
we want to give them a <lb/>
It needs no comment. It shows <lb/>
what the Alliance ought to do. <lb/>
The Democratic party or the Be- <lb/>
publican party one will control the <lb/>
State. Everybody believes this- <lb/>
Which shall it be In this para <lb/>
graph Col. Polk says there is no <lb/>
comparison between these parties <lb/>
in North Carolina. One is an <lb/>

COUNTY CONTENTION. <lb/>
Tn accordance with the call of <lb/>
tho County Executive Committee, <lb/>
the Democratic Convention of Pitt <lb/>
county, composed of delegates <lb/>
selected by the township <lb/>
primaries, met in the Court House <lb/>
Saturday at noon. <lb/>
The meeting was called to order <lb/>
by A. L- Blow, Chairman of tho <lb/>
Executive Committee, who in a <lb/>
brief speech explained the <lb/>
for which the convention was <lb/>
called and urged that the <lb/>
of the body be harmonious <lb/>
and to the good of the party- He <lb/>
then ordered B. Williams, Jr., Sec- <lb/>
of the Executive Committee <lb/>
to call the roll of delegates. Every <lb/>
township in the county being duly <lb/>
and correctly represented, the <lb/>
body was then declared ready for <lb/>
organization. . <lb/>
On motion A. L. Blow was <lb/>
permanent chairman and R <lb/>
Williams, Jr., permanent secretary. <lb/>
L. F. Evans moved that a <lb/>
resolution be read before the <lb/>
convention, and John moved <lb/>
that the matter be laid on the table. <lb/>
The latter motion <lb/>
The chairman explained that the <lb/>
county was entitled to delegates <lb/>
to the State convention, that ac- <lb/>
cording to the township vote <lb/>
Greenville was entitled to <lb/>

WASHINGTON LETTER. <lb/>
From Regular Correspondent. <lb/>
Washington, D. C, M <lb/>
Mr. Harrison would be perfectly <lb/>
happy if he knew that the <lb/>
sent out by his friends this week <lb/>
a the certainty of his being <lb/>
nominated on the first ballot at <lb/>
Minneapolis was based anything <lb/>
more substantial than wind. I <lb/>
have in on good authority that it <lb/>
has been extremely difficult for the <lb/>
men who are managing the Harri- <lb/>
son campaign to keep him from <lb/>
making public a statement that he <lb/>
will not accept a renomination, so <lb/>
disheartened has he become over <lb/>
his prospects. But his trainers, to <lb/>
use sporting slang, have <lb/>
ed that he shall not withdraw, and <lb/>
in order to bolster up his failing <lb/>
courage they got up that table <lb/>
showing that lie will be nominated <lb/>
on the first ballot. <lb/>
The Republicans, <lb/>
in and out of Congress, realizing <lb/>
that the Minneapolis convention <lb/>
is only a month off, are getting <lb/>
more active than ever. Secret <lb/>
conferences arc of nightly occur- <lb/>
here, and they are confident <lb/>
of defeating Mr. Harrison- Their <lb/>
present policy is to encourage the <lb/>
friends of every possible candidate, <lb/>
trusting to being able- at the. least <lb/>
minute to solidify all of this scat- <lb/>
vote for their candidate, <lb/>
whoever he may be. <lb/>
Speaker Crisp wishes his friends <lb/>
and admirers to know that he fully <lb/>
appreciates the honor conferred <lb/>
upon him by the invitations he is <lb/>
constantly receiving to visit differ- <lb/>
places, but as he regards it of <lb/>
the highest importance that he <lb/>
should be in his place in the <lb/>
House until the day of adjourn- <lb/>
he is compelled to decline <lb/>
all invitations- It would a <lb/>
pleasure to him to accept them all, <lb/>
but he places duty far above pleas- <lb/>
Secretary Foster, in answer to a <lb/>
House resolution, has admitted <lb/>
that warrants and requisitions <lb/>
upon the Treasury amounting to <lb/>
were presented <lb/>
February and until <lb/>
March. He pleads in extenuation <lb/>
of other This <lb/>
charge which was made by Demo- <lb/>
members of the House and <lb/>
by has been persistently <lb/>
denied by Republicans in and out <lb/>
of the Treasury department. The <lb/>
Secretary's statement shows how <lb/>
much dependence can be placed <lb/>
upon Republican denials. <lb/>
The Attorney General's office <lb/>
has virtually been by the <lb/>
attitude of Democratic members of <lb/>
the House to order the S. Dis- <lb/>
Attorney at Philadelphia to <lb/>
begin an action against the <lb/>
sugar trust This was not <lb/>
done until the House Judiciary <lb/>
committee had decided to report <lb/>
favorably Representative Scott's <lb/>
resolution, calling upon the At- <lb/>
General for information as <lb/>
to the sugar trust had <lb/>
violated the Sherman anti-trust <lb/>
law, and whether any prosecution <lb/>
had been instituted against it, <lb/>
which was promptly adopted by <lb/>
the House- <lb/>
Commissioner is truly <lb/>
unfortunate in having his veracity <lb/>
constantly doubted. This week <lb/>

OUR <lb/>
f Two Miners who Parted la <lb/>
Anger, sad How Peace Cams at Last. <lb/>
We always spoke of them as <lb/>
They were two of the best <lb/>
in camp, and meant a <lb/>
deal in those days. the <lb/>
age Gulch men came to <lb/>
j oar claims it was Our who <lb/>
lied us to drive them off, leaving <lb/>
six dead men to be buried tn the <lb/>
evening;. When the toughs and <lb/>
roughs of Old Man's Hill laid claim <lb/>
to our and appeared two to <lb/>
one to drive us off it was par <lb/>
again who led the van and enabled <lb/>
us to win the victory. <lb/>
Jim who Jim I do not know. <lb/>
No one but themselves knew. Now <lb/>
and then some miner gave his full <lb/>
name, but we had no for it. We <lb/>
were Jim and Bill and Pete to each <lb/>
other, and that alone. <lb/>
Our were not quarrelsome <lb/>
men. Big men and brave men never <lb/>
are. They tented together and went <lb/>
and how it came that <lb/>
they fell out none of us ever learned. <lb/>
One morning, when they had been <lb/>
for many months, one m <lb/>
packed up and left camp. He had <lb/>
nothing to beyond <lb/>
statement that and Jim is out. <lb/>
The Jim who remained made no <lb/>
statement whatever. Among our- <lb/>
selves we said there had been a hot <lb/>
word dropped and picked up just <lb/>
when both men were out of sorts. It <lb/>
was hard work that, hunting for <lb/>
gold. We worked like slaves and <lb/>
lived far worse, and <lb/>
very often. <lb/>
In a day or two we saw that the <lb/>
Jim who remained was troubled in <lb/>
his mind. He had been too proud to <lb/>
hold out his hand and ask the other <lb/>
Jim to stay, now it was hurting <lb/>
him He grew sullen and morose, <lb/>
and now and then he paused in his <lb/>
work and looked up the trail with a <lb/>
longing look in his to <lb/>
see the other Jim returning to camp. <lb/>
Five or six days had paused when a <lb/>
Chinaman came into camp with a <lb/>
note for Jim. It was written with a <lb/>
paper <lb/>
a case of smallpox and I wont ask <lb/>
you to come. It's Just to say I'm sorry we fell <lb/>
out, and to bid you <lb/>
It took three or four of us half an <lb/>
hour to make out the badly written <lb/>
and misspelled message, and when <lb/>
we had finished Our Jim walked <lb/>
away to his tent and began to pack <lb/>
up. The were banking <lb/>
up in the west and it was plain that <lb/>
a bad storm was at hand. The <lb/>
Jim was twenty-eight miles away, <lb/>
sick and alone in A rude cabin at the <lb/>
abandoned diggings of Crazy Worn <lb/>
creek. The trail led over the <lb/>
mountain and through valleys <lb/>
with scrub rough with <lb/>
and the Chinaman <lb/>
broken down when he reached us. <lb/>
won't start with that storm <lb/>
coming on we said to Jim, as he <lb/>
came out of his tent with a pack on <lb/>
his back. <lb/>
wants he re <lb/>
plied, and in five minutes he was out <lb/>
of sight. <lb/>
An hour later we were all driven <lb/>
to shelter, and for three days and <lb/>
nights there was never a break in <lb/>
the There wasn't tent on <lb/>
the diggings in sight when the fourth <lb/>
morning one snowed <lb/>
out of sight. If we hadn't been <lb/>
snowed under we should have been <lb/>
frozen to death by the cutting winds. <lb/>
Jim couldn't have made those <lb/>
miles in less than a day with <lb/>
no snow under his feet We knew <lb/>
that he must have perished in that <lb/>
storm before midnight. <lb/>
It was a long three weeks before <lb/>
the snow off, and then two <lb/>
us went up the trail. All <lb/>
we looked for the dead body of Jim, <lb/>
who had started oat before the storm, <lb/>
but we did not discover it. An hour <lb/>
before dark we came to the <lb/>
diggings and caught sight of <lb/>
the single shanty left standing. We <lb/>
should find the other Jim in there <lb/>
dead. Step by step we advanced, <lb/>
dreading to look in, yet feeling that <lb/>
we must. The door was fast, but <lb/>
the fierce gusts had torn loose some <lb/>
of the light boards at a corner and <lb/>
we had a view of the interior. <lb/>
Lying on a the earth, <lb/>
with another partly covering than, <lb/>
and lying face to face with an arm <lb/>
over each other, were two dead men <lb/>
Our The one who had sent <lb/>
the Chinaman might have been <lb/>
in delirium when the other read i <lb/>
ed him through that awful storm, <lb/>
but he heard his voice and knew it <lb/>
The one who fought his way over the <lb/>
snowbound trail, stumbling, falling, <lb/>
up by the hope he <lb/>
would not be too late, could do <lb/>
after his journey was ended <lb/>

When Traveling Was Tedious. <lb/>
During the first quarter of the <lb/>
present century the westward trend <lb/>
of civilization was very slow. Up to <lb/>
1825 canals had not been thought of <lb/>
west of York. The average <lb/>
time required to make a trip from <lb/>
Cincinnati to New Orleans and <lb/>
was six months. The craft made <lb/>
use of were necessarily small, and <lb/>
the cargoes proportionately light, <lb/>
and when they arrived in New Or- <lb/>
leans in which could not <lb/>

In a room cf the assay office is dis- <lb/>
played a metal brick which once cost <lb/>
a buyer a pretty penny, but which <lb/>
now goes begging. It was bought <lb/>
for a couple of thousand dollars by a <lb/>
man with that trusting faith in plan <lb/>
able strangers which makes life easy <lb/>
for the people who would rather <lb/>
scheme than toil. He took it to the <lb/>
assay office to get the official figures <lb/>
on his profits in the transaction, and <lb/>
there he learned that his <lb/>
was an alloy. It might be <lb/>
anything else, but gold it certainly <lb/>
was not. <lb/>
After that revelation not even a <lb/>

the bar. One to whom an appeal <lb/>
was made declined on the ground <lb/>
that he couldn't pay the current rate <lb/>
for old metal until he could find out <lb/>
what metal he was buying. And so <lb/>
man who had been victimized <lb/>
went away sadly, leaving the yellow <lb/>
brick at the assay office. It is then- <lb/>

Long Island's Wonderful Fresh <lb/>
The eggs which are sold as a week <lb/>
old in the summer come from Long <lb/>
Island. That they are just as good <lb/>
as those which are a day or two old <lb/>
is shown perhaps by the fact that <lb/>
occasionally a chick is hatched from <lb/>
some when they are on the way to <lb/>
the city. It must be <lb/>
course, that twenty-one days are usu <lb/>
ally required for an egg to hatch. <lb/>
When a chick out of i me it <lb/>
must be confessed that the must <lb/>
have been fresh at some time. That <lb/>

beyond question the most perfect of <lb/>

ancient regal symbols in use among <lb/>
the Zulus, including scepters, royal <lb/>
bracelets, which were used instead of <lb/>
crowns, and other emblems of ham- <lb/>

The usual Sabbath quietude of Green- <lb/>
ville was broken about a quarter to seven <lb/>
o'clock Sunday evening, by the rapid <lb/>
clanging of bells and cries of fire Dense <lb/>
volumes of smoke rising above the top <lb/>
of houses tree at Indicated the <lb/>
direction from which the alarm came. A <lb/>
tenement house, occupied by colored <lb/>
people, on the Germain Bernard proper- <lb/>
was Are. The house was old and <lb/>
like a tinder box, and in a wonderfully <lb/>
brief time It was wholly wrapped in a <lb/>
sheet of roaring, darting flame, from <lb/>
which flew showers of burning ember <lb/>
taken up the smoke scattered <lb/>
everywhere before the wind. Consider- <lb/>
able wind was blowing, and with nothing <lb/>
to right fire everybody naturally expected <lb/>
that the large Bernard residence, on <lb/>
of Second and Evan streets, which <lb/>
had stood the storms of many, many <lb/>
years, and was of land- <lb/>
marks, would soon be in flames. This <lb/>
building was occupied by Mr, J, M. <lb/>
Latham and family, and many willing <lb/>
hands set to work to them save their <lb/>
household effects. Everything was got- <lb/>
ten hurriedly out of the house, hut amid <lb/>
the characteristic excitement of a tin-, <lb/>
especially where there Is no organized <lb/>
method of going about such work, much <lb/>
that was taken from the house was badly <lb/>
broken or damaged, sonic articles almost <lb/>
destroyed. Everything was as dry as <lb/>
when the flames fastened <lb/>
their tongues upon this large <lb/>
increased by the force of the wind they <lb/>
seemed to flash across through the <lb/>
structure as easily and as rapidly as if <lb/>
burning through a lint room. <lb/>
The attention of the gathered multi- <lb/>
was next turned to the two-story <lb/>
residence of Mrs. Taft. on the opposite <lb/>
corner, as it was feared her house could <lb/>
not stand baton the great heat thrown <lb/>
out from the Bernard building, and with <lb/>
wind bearing hard upon It. All the <lb/>
furnishings of her house were removed, <lb/>
but the excitement being even greater <lb/>
than at first few. if any, breakable <lb/>
were removed without more or less <lb/>
damage. Men worked manfully he- <lb/>
to save her house, brave <lb/>
women ran with willing feet helping to <lb/>
bring water to dash upon it. but all to <lb/>
avail, and when the tire gained such a <lb/>
footing as to drive all from the building, <lb/>
many were the sad hearts that beheld <lb/>
this widow's home crumble before the <lb/>
maddened fury of the devouring flame. <lb/>
While that portion of the Bernard <lb/>
house facing Evans street was burning <lb/>
Frank Johnson's house on the opposite <lb/>
side was in great danger, hut good work <lb/>
saved it. From Mrs. house the <lb/>
boarding kept by Mrs. just <lb/>
across the street was also endangered, <lb/>
but good work here with the wind some- <lb/>
what favorable saved the building. See- <lb/>
that J. Williamson's carriage <lb/>
shops were now in immediate danger, all <lb/>
the outbuildings between Mrs. Taft's <lb/>
house and these were rapidly torn down. <lb/>
and all set to work to save the shops <lb/>
if possible. By this time water <lb/>
supply of the few neighborhood wells <lb/>
was exhausted, and no more could be <lb/>
bad without going several squares away <lb/>
for it. almost caused a panic, for <lb/>
besides the increasing danger to the car- <lb/>
shops, several other were <lb/>
catching from the flying ember. The <lb/>
cries for water water here from differ- <lb/>
roofs were almost distressing. The <lb/>
old building and II. A. <lb/>
residence, on extreme sections of the <lb/>
square, both caught but parties oil the <lb/>
roofs kept them put out. <lb/>
barber shop, which stood <lb/>
mediately against the carriage factory <lb/>
gave workers a little vantage ground, <lb/>
as by standing on the roof of this they <lb/>
could throw water, what little could be <lb/>
had. with hand pumps all over the ex- <lb/>
posed gable of the shops. While waiting <lb/>
for water, sand was -cooped up from the <lb/>
street and spread over the roof and salt <lb/>
was thrown upon it. Thus the noble me <lb/>
worked until the heat bore upon them so <lb/>
intensely that they could not stand be- <lb/>
fore It had to flee from the roof. <lb/>
Here hope almost vanished, and people <lb/>
looked on with abated breath expecting <lb/>
every moment to see the shops catch In a <lb/>
blaze, knowing full well that with there <lb/>
once a tire the jail. Court House and <lb/>
every building on south side of the <lb/>
block would be destroyed; and should <lb/>
the flames get across the street to Sam <lb/>
Cherry's building- no earthly power <lb/>
could save the Flanagan carriage factory. <lb/>
Hotel Macon. Mrs. property, or <lb/>
any house In the vicinity of these. <lb/>
It was awful to contemplate. But just <lb/>
at this critical moment there was a <lb/>
change in the course of the wind <lb/>
which bore the flames away from the <lb/>
building so that the men could return to <lb/>
the roof, and the shops were saved <lb/>
thank God we say it reverently. <lb/>
But the danger was not ended here. A <lb/>
burning tenement to the west of the Taft <lb/>
building placed the Catholic church In <lb/>
jeopardy. And here some excellent work <lb/>
was done by men who clung to the roof <lb/>
of edifice and In the face, of the burn- <lb/>

he was seen rushing hurriedly <lb/>
toward the stairway. <lb/>
The over and courtroom, <lb/>
as everybody knows, is at the head <lb/>
of the long, marble staircase leading <lb/>
toward Broadway. <lb/>
Hardly a later, before the <lb/>
room had denied, a cry was heard in <lb/>
the outer hall. It was a shriek of <lb/>
agony and horror <lb/>
At the foot of marble steps, <lb/>
gasping for breath, lay tho famous <lb/>
advocate, Henry North, the idol of <lb/>
profession. At the top of the <lb/>
landing North had been seen to reel, <lb/>
and before anybody could reach him <lb/>
he hod plunged headlong to the bot- <lb/>
tom of the flight. Blood rose to his <lb/>
lips, his eyes were wide op. .,. but <lb/>
to be staring at an <lb/>
object. The clammy mo or <lb/>
death was upon his brow. <lb/>
The dying man was in the <lb/>
arms of a clerk, as a gaping <lb/>
crowd quickly gathered. Ho lived <lb/>
only long enough to <lb/>

crouching at the head of the stairs <lb/>
and tripped Then had come <lb/>
the shriek and the agonizing <lb/>

Henry North ceased to breathe. <lb/>
The death was the sensation of a <lb/>
week. The funeral was one of the <lb/>
largest ever seen in New York. But <lb/>
the mystery surrounding his last <lb/>
words remained. Many theories were <lb/>
advanced to explain them, none of <lb/>
which, the shame of our common <lb/>
humanity, were creditable to the de- <lb/>

a shadow upon his name. <lb/>
I was the clerk who received the <lb/>
last confidences of Henry North. <lb/>
Ho was my father, and the secret of <lb/>
his life and tragic death had been <lb/>
the mystery of our family. Among <lb/>
his- papers was found the following <lb/>
narrative, addressed to me, which <lb/>
after careful consideration I <lb/>
decided to publish, to refute the cal- <lb/>
cast upon father's name as a <lb/>
lawyer and as a man. The first date <lb/>
is of six months ago. the final j <lb/>

career hue been that I feel I <lb/>
must make some record of it, not <lb/>
knowing what may be its future de- <lb/>
I also feel that I owe it <lb/>
to my dear son to leave some ex- <lb/>
of things that may have <lb/>
appeared strange to and that <lb/>
may require investigation <lb/>
Indeed, I have suspected that <lb/>
he has noticed my strange conduct. <lb/>
Of late I observe that he finds an ex- <lb/>

and seeks my companionship -more <lb/>
than formerly. <lb/>

When a lawyer, I was elected <lb/>
to the New York assembly during <lb/>
the reform revolt of 1874 that swept <lb/>

Everybody will recall the great <lb/>
struggle with the canal ring, in <lb/>
which I bore a Near <lb/>

fortunate attitude as for the <lb/>

I was sorry when it by a <lb/>
small majority. <lb/>
few nights after when I came <lb/>
home to my apartments, I found a <lb/>
great, black dog stretched upon the <lb/>
white bearskin before my fire. <lb/>
raised his head and his great. <lb/>
brown eyes stared me full in the <lb/>
face. His was a sympathetic look, <lb/>
but to my imagination, distorted <lb/>
long brooding on the subject, he had <lb/>
come to reproach me for my act. <lb/>
The animal was sorry for me. <lb/>
I resented this and <lb/>
ordered to leave; he lay quite <lb/>
motionless and his great, brown eyes <lb/>
continued to follow me about. I be- <lb/>
came infuriated and kicked at him <lb/>
viciously. The dog, unmoved still <lb/>
lay unhurt before <lb/>
had kicked a spectral dog <lb/>
I rose upright I saw the <lb/>
glossy, black and clearly outlined <lb/>
form of the crouching animal slowly <lb/>
vanishing. Like smoke it arose be- <lb/>
fore my eyes, enveloping me. <lb/>

And I have seen him every day <lb/>

an integral part of my existence. <lb/>

committee room and back to my <lb/>
lodgings. <lb/>
have been carrying a cone, but <lb/>
I have had to leave tho stick at <lb/>
home because tho dog was constantly <lb/>
crowding it and my leg; and <lb/>
when friends were walking with me <lb/>
they were unable to understand my <lb/>
involuntary exclamations of annoy- <lb/>
strange as it may appear, I <lb/>
began to grow fond of my spectral <lb/>
associate. Companionship is natural <lb/>
to man; and we know in the light of <lb/>
history and experience it is life itself <lb/>

very happily together. We led the <lb/>

walked to my office; but when the <lb/>
weather was bad I always selected <lb/>
the best route out of consideration <lb/>
for my devoted companion. At <lb/>
times I oven took a carriage on his <lb/>
account. His care became my en- <lb/>
Resuming my Jaw practice <lb/>

find that the dog accompanied me <lb/>
into court and curled himself up <lb/>
my table while I was trying a <lb/>
case. After a few experiences I ob <lb/>
served a very fact, namely, <lb/>
that the animal always left the room <lb/>
before the jury returned, if the <lb/>
diet were to be adverse to my client <lb/>
At first this act suggested to me a <lb/>
tender regard for my de <lb/>

As the thought developed in <lb/>
my mind, I frequently detected my- <lb/>
self making a speech to the dog in <lb/>

face with more core than I did that <lb/>
of any man in the courtroom. I <lb/>
hoped to road there a sure indication <lb/>
of the verdict. But he always man <lb/>
tho same attentive attitude, <lb/>

room. Then he always awaited me <lb/>

Nor would the saving in keep <lb/>

carts without horses would take just <lb/>
