I The following stansss from the pen of A North Carolina poet residing in Wash- 1 iogton, D. C, hare seldom been equalled in delicacy of fancy, elegance of diction and fidelity to nature. Though written at the national capital this "Midsummer Night's Dream" is evidently a reminis cence and an inspiration of the whisper ig fives of the Old North State. There is thrSghout the poem an undertone of saduess and longing akin to that which "found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth when sick for home. She stood in tears amid the alien corn." The sultry day is ending, The clouds are fading away, Orange with purple is blending And purple is turning to gray ; The gray grows darker and denser Till it and the earth are one ; A star swings out like a censer, And the brief warm night is begun. The brown moth floats and poises Like a leaf in the windless air ; Awoke bjr insect noises The gray toad leaves his lair ; Sounding the dnsk depth quickly The bull-bats fall and rise. And out of the grasses thickly Swarm glisteniug fire-flies. Now darkness heavy, oppressive And silent, completes the gloom. The breathless night is excessive With fragrance of perfume; For the laud is enmeshed and ablaze With vines that blossom aud trail, Embanking the traveled ways Aud festooning the fences of rail. Afar in the southern sky Heat light ning flares and glows, Vividly tinting the clouds that He At rest with a shimmer of rose Tremulous, flitting, uncertain, As a mystical light might shine From under an ebon curtain Before a terrible shrine. And the slumbrous night grows late. The midnight hush is deep. Under the piues I wait For the moon ; and the pins trees weep Great drops of dew, that fall Like footsteps here and there, And they sadly whisper and call To each other high in the air. They rustle and whisper like ghosts, They sigh like souls in pain, . Like the movement of stealthy hosts They surge, and are silent again. The midnight hush is deep. But the pines the spirits distrest They move iu sonainbulant sleep They whisper and are not at rest. Lo ! a light in the east opalescent Softly suffuses the sky Where fiocculent clouds are quiescent, Where like froth of the ocean they foam on the beach they erimple Where the wave has spent its swirl Like the curve of a shell they dimple Into iridescent pearl, And the light grows brighter and high er Till far through the trees I see The rim of a globe of fire That rolls through the darkness to me, And the aisles of the forest gleam With a splendor unearthly, that shines Like the light of a lurid dream Through the colonnaded pines. John Henkt Boner. Washington, July, 1883. Currency. There was a young damsel, oh bless her, It cost very little to dress her, She was sweet as a rose, In her every -day clothes. But bad no young man t egress her. Because, you see, she had given the mit ten te the only fellow in the neigh borhood, and the amount of sweet ness she was therefore obliged to waste upon the desert air Was euough to distress her. Delivery of Newspapers. The spe cial order of the Postmaster-General re quiring the prompt delivery of newspa pers as well as letters is what has been needed for some time. Persons outside of the newspaper business can scarcely realize the amount of inconvenience the publishers aud subscribers have been subjected te tor years by the neglect on the part of postmasters in country towns, and occasionally in cities, failing to rec ognize the importance of newspaper de livery. Instances are not infrequent where a newspaper has been read by the postmaster and his entire family, even "lent" to the neighbors, before it reached the Hands ot the person to wnom it was directed. The order includes among other important matters, an express prohi bition of such detention of newspaper packages. There is no reason why a con tract for carrying a newspaper should net be as carefully filled by the govern ment as a contract for letter caxrjioff. It is a pleasure to note the recent very ac cep table action of the department. Hart ford Pott. Mosquitoes. It is said that a room mav be rid of mosquitoes by taking a piece of gum camphor about one-third the size of a hen s egg, and evaporate it by placing it in a tin ves sel, holding it qyer a lamp or candle, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon nil the room and expel the mosquitoes. The Republican Party and its Position. Baltimore Sun. The Republican party is approach ing a presidential election almost with out an issue upon which it can appeal to voters for support. The sectional question is dead, at least so far as it can be of any use to it. The devices it has adopted to divide the South and their partial success in Virginia have deprived the cry of a solid South of all its alarming force. The adminis tration has, by is trades and bargains with Southern political adventurers, taken from its party the weapon to which it is most accustomed and giv en it nothing in return. The Repub lican party is by no means a unit in favor of high protective tariffs, and'a definite adoption of a policy of ex treme protection would lose it at least as many votes as it would grain for it. Political parties are simply voluntary associations of individuals whose views on certain leading questions are similar, and the object of their union is to put into practical operation those principles of government which they hold in common. When the task for which the party was formed has been accomplished and is no longer a mat ter for dispute, it must either be reor ganized on an entirely new basis or it must cease to be a political party in the proper sense of the terra, and be come a mere combination of voters for the purpose of putting as many of their numbers iu places of power, trust or profit as they can. If the latter alter native be the one chosen, the combi nation is itself bound inevitably to become a prey to faction. Its mem bers, and especially those active in political life, will form smaller rings within the great one, in order that they may appropriate to themselves all the "spoils" that are won by the common exertions of all the voters of the so-called party. At the present time the Republican party is in a cu rious position. Most of the men pro minent in its management appear to be only anxious to maintain the pow er they now have. Of course they want the party to succeed, because their own places are thus more valu- ble, and they are willing to commit it to any policy that seems likely to make votes ; but it has for some years been plainly apparent that the larger part of their attention is directed to maintaining their own position against the efforts of other members of the same organization te wrest them from them. What these petty struggles are likely to lead to in the absence of ab sorbing issues may be seen in the con test now going on in New Hampshire over the United States senatorship. Ibe Republicans have a majority of nearly seventy in the Legislature, and yet for six weeks they have been bal loting without a choicer 1 he caucus nominee, Senator Rollins, has been compelled to withdraw, beaten, from the struggle, and it begins to look as if Secretary Chandler will be forced to follow his example. Since 1880 similar divisions have attended the elections for officers for Senators in no less than seven of the States that vot ed for Gen. Garfield and which gave him 102 out of the 214 electoral votes that he received. In Pennsylvania, in 1881, in Oregon in 1882, in Mich igan, Minnesota and New Hampshire in 1883, the regular caucus nominees were defeated, while in New York in 1881 and in Massachusetts in 1883 the disorganization was so serious that it was not practicable to hold a can cus at all. While the machine lead ers are fighting among themselves a large part of the voters are anxious to be rid of all of them. They are de sirous of committing to the reform of the administration methods of the na tional and State governments, and have made up their minds that they would rather dec their party defeated than that it should any longer he the means of placing in power men unfit to administer the trusts committed to them. The spoilsmen have the organization-; they are in politics pri marily for what it pays, and the tri umph of the reform of their own par ty would be from their standpoint every bit as bad if not worse than a general Demcratic victory. Circum stances of one sort or another have made these internal quarrels in the Republican party and these abuses in its management more prominent than similar failings in the other party; but they exist in both. Both alike will in the campaign of next year be exposed to the temptation to yield principle to expediency ; to acquiese in the control of their machinery by the professional brokers in political spoils. 4 1 the present time, when voters are specially aroused to the evils of politi cal management in the country at large, the victory is likely to follow that party which most determinedly resists the temptation. It has been truly said that the bread of dependence is bitter indeed com pared with that which we earn by pur own exertions. "Labor is the sweetest joy s true in every sespect. Atlanta to We alluded in the last issue to the through Pall man car train from Atlanta to Asheville via Salisbury, and the good time made. It is now our pleas n re to men tion the arrival ef another through Pull man car from Atlanta by way of Knox ville and the Warm Springs, arriving the same day, this time uuder the excellent management of Mr. S. p. Hard wick, Southern Traveling Agent ot the Eastern Tenuessee, Virginia aud Georgia Road. This train left Atlanta Monday at 11:40 P. M., via Western aud Atlantic Railroad and come into the Asheville depot prompt ly on tune Tuesday at 5.40 P. M. This bringing Pullman cars through from Atlauta to Asheville without change is a most important fact, and speaks volumes for the future travel front the South te our city. It is this same company which is running whole through trains from Louisville to the Warm Springs. We trust such enterprise on the part of the several lines running into aud towards this section, may continue to grow. We were pleased to meet Mr. Hardwick and hope he may have occasion to visit our city frequently under such circumstances Asheville Citizen. Not Quite Satisfied. 'You ssy you are from New York V queried an old farmer in Massachusetts of a New Yorker, whe had halted at the farmhouse to ask for a drink of butter milk. Yes.' New York City t' Yes.' 'Do business there V 'Yes : I'm is Wall street Are, eh T keep a grocery T' 'No, sir ; Pm a broker.' Broker, eh Y Do much breaking V 'Well, I'll leave that to my customers to decide. I do the best I can however.' Well, you look as if yen might be re spectable if yon had a chance,' said the old farmer, and turning the corner of the house called out to his wife iu a voice plainly heaid at the gate: Say, Mariar, here's a feller from New York who wants a glass of buttermilk. He looks all right, aud I guess he'll pay cash down ; but it won't do any harm to thin it down pretty well with spring water.' Wall Street News. Accidentia Killed. Tuesday morn ing the wife of Peter Kerr, colored, left her three children at home and went to Mr. Gaithor's to wash. During' the af ternoon between 1 aud 2 o'clock while the baby, about two or three years old, was sitting in the yard, his brother, about 6 years old got an old gun and laid it on the window and discharged it, the con tents entering the left eye of the child killing him instantly. When the crowd arrived at the house they found that the boy had covered the face of the dead child with soot to stop the blood. When asked who killed the baby he said he didu't know, that he was on the bed when it was done, aud the girl who is about two years okT, can't tell any thing about it. This is another warning to parents not to leave firs arms within the reach of children. Davie Times. A Good Man Gone. Chas. Hawley, the colored shoemaker, died in this town on Monday last, and his was a character which deserves some notices. He was reared a slave aud belonged to the Haw lew estate. In his younger days he was noted for bis skill as a shoemaker, but he was afflicted with a brief period of insanity from which, it is believed, lie never entirely recovered. He was a man of incorruptible honesty, and bore a high character with all who knew him. He was scrupulously neat in his person aud almost courtly iu manners, and for many years his erect figure attired in glossy black has been familiar en the streets on Sunday. Fayetteville Observer. Human Nature. It is a curious trait of human nature that men who are con stantly exposed to some special form of danger are the last to take the obvious precautions against it. It is no uncom mon thing, for example, for a sailer to be ignorant of swimming, if indeed this may uot be said ef the majority of sailors. The shell rower is lisble at any moment to be tipped out of his crank and flimsy craft; yet Edward Hanlen, the champion ! rower only learned to swim last summer, j and can even swim but a few strokes, the muscles of his arms, strangely enough for so powerful a sculler, quickly becom ing tired. Dr. F. J. Kron, a good citizen, and at one time a prominent physician of this conn ty, died Friday, the 22d of July . Dr. Kron was a German by nativity, bat was educated in Fans, France. He came to this country many years age and com manded a large practice. He was in hearing ef the batt le o f Liepsig, and en -joyed the rare privilege ef personally seeing the great Napoleon. Stanly Ob server, The post-morten examination of the body of Capt. Webb, the great English swimmer, disclosed the fact that death resulted from the immense pressure of water upon his body What Men Need Wives For. It not to sweep the house, and make the beds, and darn the socks. cook the meals, chiefly that a mau wants a wife. If this is all he wants, hired servants can do it cheaper than a wife. If this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cakes she has make; send him to inspect the needle-work and bed-making; or put a broom into her hands and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise young man will quietly look after them. But what a true man wants of a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. The way of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs a compan ion to go with him. A man is some times overtaken by misfortune ; lie meets with failure and defeat; trialsand temptations beset him, and he needs one to stand by him and sympathize. He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enemies and with sin, and needs a woman that, while he puts his arm around her and feels that he has something to fight for, will help him to fight; who will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart new inspirations. All through life through storm and sun shine, conflict and victory ; through adverse and favorable winds man needs a woman's love. The heart yearns for it. A sister's and a moth er's love will hardly supply the need. Yet many seek for nothing further than success in house work. Justly enough, half of these get nothing more. The other .half, surprised above measure, obtain more than they sought. Their wives surprise them by bringing a nobler idea of marriage, and disclosing a treasury of courage, sympathy and love. Market Jowrmal. He Didu't Want Any Supper . During the campaign in Egypt a Mo hammedan dervish was continually preaching to the army of Arabi Bey, aud proclaiming the doctrine that the soldier who died fighting against the English wonld sap that night in Heaven. As soon, however, as the fight began, the dervish was the first one to run. He wnc soon overtaken by other fugitives, who upbraided him for running away, aud re minded him of how severely he was neg lecting such an excellent opportunity of supping iu Heaven, 'Allah il Allah !' ex claimed the dervish, as he soared over a high bunch of prickly pears; 'Dod gast the luck, don't you know I'm forbidden by my sacred calling to eat supper on fast days, and this is the fastest day of the season. Get out of my way ! Faugh-a-Ballaugh ! Clear the track !' yelled the venerable dervish, as he went tearing into the woods. Texas Silings. An exchange says no doubt ere long "peanut flour" will an important product in the South. The crop of the country has averaged $3,000,000. Virginia is set down this year for 2, 100,000 bushels. Tennessee for 250, 000 aud North Carolina at 135,000 bushels, these being the chief States engaged in their cultivation. Vir ginians are beginning to turn the pea nut into flour, and say it makes a pe culiarly palatable "biscuit." In Geor gia there is a custom now growing old, of grinding or pounding the shelled peanuts and turning them in to pastry, which has some resemblance both in looks and taste, to that made of cocoanut, but the peanut pastry is more oily and richer, and, we think, healthier aud better every way. Chicago, August 9. Special dis patchs report that a severe storm prevailed in Shelby, Cass and Potta wattamie counties, Iowa, last night. The growing crops were leveletMo the ground and considerable damage to other property was done. The track of the storm was five miles wide. Near Brayton, 22 head t of cattle were killed by being stampeded and running down an embankment. At Lorah nine freight cars were blown from the track.

The Fayetteville Observer says : On Tuesday, the 24th of July, Mrs. Edny Lee died in Ifarnett county at tho extra ordinary age of 107 years, having been born in what is now Sampson county in 1776. Six years ago, when 101 years old, she was baptized before a large congre gation, while seated in a chair, at the Free Will Baptist church, Shady Grove, Sampson county. Up to within a short I time before her death her mental facul ties were remarkably bright and her phy sical powers wonderfully preserved, con sidering her advanced age. Ariiong the immigrants on the steamship Westphalia, which arrived at New New York on Sunday, was Carl Theiller, a German shoe uaker, whose avoidupois was over 400 pound:. Theiller will embark in the hole business on Race street in this city. He claims that he is one of the largest passengers that ever crossed the ocean on a single ticket. Phila delphia Record. When rain is coming .avens caw, swallows chatter, cats "wash tiitl faces," small birds prune themselves and make a shov of working, crows make a great noise in the evening, geese cackle more than usual. The reason is because these creatures love wet weather and rejoice at its ap proach. God made it necessary for each man, woman and child to labor in some way gave each one some corner to cultivate, some little share of the world's work which no one else can do for them, and if neglected it is sure to bring regret, bitter regret some day. If we find troubles, if the weather is dreary, let us try and run an op position ; let us have sunshine in the house, even if there is but little out of doors. Smiles and cheerful words and help ful deeds may make house and home bright and happy in the darkest gloom of Winter or oue of Wiggitt's worst storms.
