They slioußl not rest apart.; Living they struggled side by side- Why should the hand of death divide A single heart front heart.' Gather their scattered clay, Wuerever it may rest; Just as they inarched to the bloody fray, Just as they fell ou the battle day; Bury them urcast to breast. Thcfoeman need not dread This gathering of the brave; Without 6word or flag, and with soundle s tread, Out of each lonely grave.

I Olil-Fn shionoil Ncruplen—An Incident of President Buckounn'n Adniinistrn liou. The Washington correspondent of the j Philadelphia Times relates the follow ing not entire new story. Howell Cobb, then Secretary of the Treasury, without consultation with the President or any of his colleagues, j ioncluded that the occasion of the trie' j trip of the Harriet Lane would be a line j opportunity toiuvftchis friends of the j Cabinet, of the foreign legations and his acquaintances generally, to enjoy with him a short sail down the Poto mac. The preparations were made ac cordingly and the invitations issued, and all arrangements completed with out the knowledge ot the President. When Mr. Buchanan learned of this "—frolic" as he characterized it, he was very wroth and sent for his Attorney- General. That officer found him fum ing and swearing, ::ud the first greeting he received was a double-barreled in terrogatory. "Arc you," said the Pres dent, "going 011 this—frolic? What do you think of such a conversion of public property to private use?" As soon as the Attorney-General could get his breath, he replied that he was notgoing ou the Harriet Lane, and further that while he felt a delicacy in criticising the acts of his colleagues, he neverthe less could not hesitate in expressing his emphatic disapproval of the whole atl'air. "But," 6aid he, "Mr. President, what arc you going to do about it." "Do about Jt," exclaimed ohl Buck, in a great passion—"Do about it? Why of course I will stop it. It is all wrong; it is scandelous, and I will be held res ponsible tor it. Of course I will not suffer it to go on." "But," said the Attorney-General, "the invitations have been issued; foreign Ministers have been invited and have accepted. They, ot course, thought it was all right and proper, and if you iuterfcre now it will be to a certain extent a reflection on 1 them; moreover, a great many good : people have thoughtlessly agreed to ac | company the Secretary of the Treasury and it will cause tbem useless and cause less mortification if you make a row about it now. I have no idea that Mr. Cobb has thought anything about the morality of making nse of a Govern ment vessel in this way. I am sure tliat if he had reflected a moment be would have been the last man in the world to take such a step, but he has taken it, and I can see no way in which yoo can interfere now without causing a great deal of scandal, and doing more harm than good. Is there no way of remedying the wrong after/it is done." Mr. Buchanan, after alinic reflection, said yes there was a wrfy. He would pay the expenses of the trip himself out ot his own pocket. JLt the next meeting of the Cabinet' after tbo excursion, Mr. Bucliauan, just before the conference concluded, turned to Mr. Cobb, and said: "Mr. Secretary ( I want you to bring to me an itemized GRAHAM, N. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1875, bill of the expenses incurred during tho trial trip of the Harriet Lane. I want, a full and" detailed statement of every thing—the coal consumed, the salerics of the officers, the wages of the seamen, and the cost of the supplies of every na ture and description. Cobb was thunderstruck. He could not conceive what such a demand mcnt, but lie know Buchanan toj well to manifest any surprise or ask any ques ! tions. lie replied: ♦'Certainly, Mr. President, I will do so." But as the members ot the Cabinet retired, Cobb took the Attorney-General by the arm, and walked along toward the Treasury without saving a word. When tl.ev had traversed about half the distance, he suddenly stopped and exclaimed: -*■' If hat in the thunder does the eld 'Squire mean," The Attorney-General made no reply, and Cobb said, looking him square iu the face: "You know what he means, I know you d»; and now I think you owe it to me to tell me frankly what ho js up to." The Attorney-General thus appealed to, of course c'onld not refuse, and ex plained the matter to him in detail, and concluded by saying: "He has asked vou for the bill because lie means to pay it out of his own picket." .. Cobb gave a long continued whistle, as was his habit when lie wifhed to manifest great surprise, and said: "That's what the old Squire's upto, is it? "Well I'll see whether I can't surprise him." ■ " T~" The conversation on this point drop ped, but every once and awhile, ns they continued their walk to the Treasury Cobb would utter a prolonged whistle,. At the the next regular Cabinet, meet ing Cobb was as bright and cheerful as a lark on a sunny morning. lie was in extraordinary humor, and kept crack ing his jokes at everybody. The busi ness of the day Was concluded, and the usual friendly chat on current topics was indulged in, and still no allusion was made to "that bill." liut the in stant there was a move made by some one to t»ie his departure, Mr. Buchan an, who had been rather taciturn dur. ing. the meeting, turned to Cobb and said rather sharply, "Mr. Secretary," where is "that bill?" Cobb, as urn ing an innocent air, answered, "What bill do yon mean. Mr. President?" "I mean the bill ot expenses for the trial trip of the Harriet 1 ane," have you got it with vou?". "O, that bill," said Cobb. "Yes, I believe I havejt somewhere about my clothes," a'ld he fumbled first in orte pocket and then another, and finally* drew out a crumpled paper, which he handed carelesslvjto the President, say. ing: "I guess that's it." Mr. ltnelnin an took it and carefully read it, izing each item closely until lie reached the end, when he exclaimed: "Why it is receipted—paid in full by Howell Cobb." "And who iu the thunder should have paid it but Howell Cobb?" broke in that individual with an air of injured innocence. "It was my frolic; who should have paid for it?" "Sure enough, sure enough; who should," was all that old Buck said- But he brightened up immediately and joined in the conversation with that peculiar gusto which he could so well add to a friendly chat, and it was hours before the meeting broke up. As the Attor ney-General was taking his leave, Cobb caught liim by the arm, and as they were going down the stops into the yard, he said: I got the old Squire that time. (Then and now, democrat and repnb. licau. Ed.) A rather unique sort of a raiser died a week or two ago in Hmlson, New York. He was an Episcopal minister, who served as a niisiouarv for his church in Greene county, receiving a salary of S2OO and numerous donations. He lived in extreme poverty, and when he died a subscription was taken up to pay the funeral expenses. After the tnneral his rooms were examined, and a will found, together with a package containing $94,000 iu Government bonds and a bank book showing a de posit of-SIO,OOO in a bank in New York eity. The will gave half ot his profit to his relatives and the rest to St. Luke's Hospital and to chnrches in which lie had preached. The clergyman's name was Clark, and ho went to Grecue county from Halifax, N. S. "Ton may talk," says the Milwaukee News, "about marrying an heiress, a delicate human blossom, a fairy, an an gel ; but give us a girl-like Nancy Ter willger of La Crosse, who ran out doors the other night, and straddling a horse, yelled out: "Good night, old man; I'm off for the spellin' matchl" THE PKNIVftYI.TAPriA BANDITTI Accounts from the mining regions of Pennslvaiua are still of the most un promising character. (>ll Friday night an atrocious attempt was made to burn a bridge on the Philadelphia and Head ing Railroad. A terrible disaster was only averted by a watchman, who had common sense and tlioughtfuluess enough to go to the nearest telegraph station anil give warning to a coming express train. Discovery of tho ,flro was made in lime to save the bridge fi»>ui being entirely destroyed, though it was seriously damaged. In the Schuylkill region attempts to wreck trains are alarmingly on the increase. At the meeting of miners, both of those who are on the strike and of those at work, the most obstinate determina tion continues to be manifested. Why docs not Philly Sheridan, with his butallions ot banditti squelchers, make his appearance on the scene? Is not his master, Grant, as much bound to preserve the peace, protect life and property, maintain a Republican form of government in Pennsylvania as in Louisiana? Or have tlto Republicans of the Key Stone State, by giving the cold shoulder to the third term move ment, not only forfeited tliier right to hold offices in Washington, as in the case of Doijgluss, but also all right to the paternal protection of the govern ment? There is certainly something wrong in Pennsylvania,— Wilmington journal. Andrew Jackson Wilcox, a clerk in the Navy Department at Washington, has in his possession a cane which was pre sented to his great grandfather, Andrew Jaoksou, by a committee representing the citizens of Tennessee. It is ot the finest hickory wood, and was taken from a tree in the front garden of Geu. Jackson's plantation, the "Hermitage," a short distance from Nashville. The top is surmounted with a cap of sol.d silver, upon which is engraved the mimes of all he Presidents ot this coun try from 1776 to 1841 commencing with John Hancock and ending With John Tyler. Each of the prongs or knots is tipped with silver, upon which is eu grived the names ot the douors. 1 here is also a whistle made iu one of the knots, which was used by pen. Jackson in calling his hounds. Upon the side is engraved the following: " And may at la*t my weary ago Find out the peaceful Hermitage. r—A Friend A boy in Williainstown, Mass., be came a man in this way.

Within a few years mail) factories have been started in this vicinity to manufacture the cotton seed oil which is used for a variety of purposes, such as dressing hemp, adult erating sweet and castor oils, and very largely in the manufacture of snaps of the finest kinds. After the oil is ex pressed from the seed the cake is used for feeding cattle and swine, for which it is well adapted. Lately a new de mand hns sprung up for tno seed for export to the southern ports of Asia and Kurope. One shipment of forty-five ton* were made to By«arna, intended for planting, as the American seed pro duces a much longer staple than ajny grown in the East. The export of cot ton seed is not a now enterprise—it was tried some years ago by sending a large quantity to India, but the shipment did not uniount to anything, as the seed spoiled before it arrived out. Now that a shorter route has been opened, via the Suez canal, it may turn out better. A NEW JERSEY RELIC.—A cannon ball is preserved in the office {bureau no longer) of the Revenue Marine, in the Treasury Department in Washing ton, which deserves to become historic —if cold iron can be said to deservo anything. It weighs twenty popnds, if our recollection is correct, and is plain, rough 6hot, with a cord attached to it. In a storm which occurred on the coast of Mew Jersey, many years ago, it was thrown from a mortar with a line fast ened to the ball, and passing over, fell beyond a boat which was stranded and in danger of going to pieces. The line was lied to a cablo on the shore, and the poor wrecked peoplo drew this in and fastened it to the vessel. On this cable a life car was passed back ward and forward IVom the ship to the shore, by which means two hundred lives were saved. The ball was pulled iij.*nd retained. It was subsequently sent to the headquarters of thj Revenue Marine Department, where 'it has since been caietnlly preserved, and where it is always reviewed yvith much iutcrest by people who are informed of its his tory. It would have sunk » " seventy four'' and never been heard from.
