It is a rule on most American railways to sell, once in two or three years, all unclaimed baggage. Trunks, valises.etc, after having lieen duly advertised, are put up. it auction ami kum-ked down to the highest bidder. The sale has ill the uncertainty of a lottery. The purchaser takes home his trunk, not knowing whether it contains worthless old rags, or thousands of dollars. lUanks are many, and. prizes, as may lie suplnised, very few. At a sale recently held by one of the great Middle State Trunk Rail ways, a leather trunk, of English make, was bought by a gentleman, ho, on oiH'iiing it, found itsprint i- taR'inteiits to lie packages of let ters extending over a period of twelve years, carefully f ied together and laK'Ied. The trunk had been the property of an English coiuiner- lal traveler, and the letters were from his wife. She wrote from a town in ..-Ireland, where-: she . lived yvith her two children, yvhile'' her husband traveled through Great Rritian. During the first lonryears the letters 'yvere playful and happy, filled yvith-anecdotes of their hahy md 'Harry,'' and with anticipa tions-of the time xvh ili apparently yvas nearat haiul, wiien the husband would "lie takeii as a part ner into the firm, and would settle down at home iu London. The writintr ami wording of the letters aretho-e of a women of great refinement. In 1S74 there js a change in their tone. 1 he husband is urged and en treated, y;ith all the pathos ol a loving yy ife and mother, to re 'train him from some unnamed vice ; The tank and cash books found in the trunk .showed lavish outlays at .t his time by the young man tor-lafu sup pers, jeyvelry, hire of handsoins. etc. 1 he yv lie's let tcrsgrcw more despair ing with each month, l'liiallv the bank-bMik shows no more sums placed to his credit. lie had evi- ueiitly heen . discUarged from his situation. - In 1S7( his yvil'e. yV rites him to fly to escape arrest for some crime which he hadVominitted, and begs of him, passionately should' he reach, the states, to go to -church, to think of God and his children, and "to come back to his dear old e."J She was then reduced to ex tjenn' -'poverty, yvhile struggling' to :iipiort her children. - There are no further letters from her after this time. He had appar ently not told her of his hiding place in this coiintry. An old I'.ible marked yvith a date. "Neyy York, .Inly 1S77," showed that the 'poor wretch had feebl tried to go back to (hM-ency, honor, and to God. I'.ut the hold of vice yvas too strong for him. One of two pawn tickets for Lis last pieces of good clothing were found and nothing more.

SOMETHING ON PROHIBITION Prohibition is the first: plank in the Radical platform. Let ns see how the party stands on it. As a matter of course, in view of the overwhelming majoritj- against the troh ibit ion liquor law submitted to the iteople of North Carolina List year for their approval or their dis approval, as they might prefer," the Radical party is now loud mouthed in its denunciation of that law, as if opiosition to prohibition was something the Radical party liatl in vented and patented for itaown ex clusive, use, and that wan. taught to every Radical baby with his first words.. .To - hear them now one would, think a prohibition Radinal never lived. '"Let us see how that is. The Radical party has an exis tence elsewhere: than in North Ca rolina; in fact the main body. of it lives aud moves and has its being in the Northern States, aud what we see of it down here in North Ca rolina, may well be called the - tail end of it. Hut for the body lofthe -party in the Northern States there would not. to-day be a.ReyTenne of ficer iu North Carolina The Northern States then control the Radical party and we must therefoi-e look to them to see what is true Radical sentiment in regaid to the liquor question. As a matter of fact, prohibitory tegislatiotr on the liquor question had its start there and for years has been au es. tahlished pet of Radicalism there. Look at Radical Maine and see if Radicalism and pro&iMtaoD.. are, hos tile. Look at Radical T6wa and see how lovingly Radicalism and prohi bition cling to each other. Look at Radical Ohio and see how fondly Radicalism aud Prohibition , em brace each other. Look at Radical Kansas, bleeding Kansas vere man and wife ever in closer union than prohibition and Radicalism in Kansas f So also in 'New Hamp shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhoib- Island, Wisconsiu, Radical ism anil Prohibition have kissed each other and been frieuds for years. In addition to this, a bill was in troduced at the present session, at theiiistance of Prchibitionists at the North, into the United States Senate, entitled A bill to provide for a Commission on the subject of the Alcoholic Liquor Traffic. This bill, that prnutiuiieed Prohibitionist, Senator ri'ye of Maine, character ized as 'the prayer of the millions of people who for ten years have lieen seeking this, nearly all the chinches of the .country, all the tein licraiice organizations', men and wo men of conscience and of the heart, md yy ho have the gdiwlol the coun try and the good of their felloyvinen it lieai I. This bill passed the- Senate no longer ago than oil the 10th day of March last, and the only Radical Senator who yoted against it yyas Mr. Van Wyck, 'Senator from Ne braska. (See CotKiressioiKil -Rrcoril Ulli March, 1SSL'.) Such is the record of the Radical party on prohibition in the great Northern States 'where, its main treiiglh lies. What will it lie here as -tion as they can . atlord to take that side of the : question ? Does he dog yvag the' tail or the tail wag the dug f 5 P.iit yvhat is the record of the Radical leaders right here in North Carolina yvliere they are now so loud in their pr.tfessions of hostility to prohibition. 1 r. Mott, the Chair man of the State Executive Radical Committer; yvas an early proiiiiu- tionist (see l louse Journal, 1 S.i."-i, :57.) Fa -Judge W. A. Moore yyas ilso a prohibitionist and announced his purpose ro speak and vote for prohibition and then he yvent back on it. J-'x-Judge Russell, tpnipora- ry chairman of the rw-eiit State Conven' ion, voted for prohibition in in the legislature and at the polls, and so did J. W. Bowman, of Mitch ell. Kx Judge Edwin Of Reade is a life long prohibitionist. Judge Roliert P. Dick is a prohibitionist. 0. 1 1 tilths, Radical member of Con gress, is a prohibitionist. Ex-Judge Henry, of Biincomlie ; J. W. Alliert son, late .1'. S. Attorney ; J. E l'ecd. Clerk of the Federal Court at Ashevilie ; P. A. Cuminiug, chair man of the Radiwd' Executive Com inittee in MiMlisoii ttunty, prohibi tionistsalsiit. Thos. Pr Keogh, late Chairman of the Radical State Executive Com inittee and Secretary of the Radical National Executive Committee, is a pronounced prohibitionist. J. C. L. Harris, Secretary of State Radical Executive Committee, yvas likeyvise a prohibitionist. Ex-Gov YV. W. Jloldeii, also was and is a prohibitionist. Gen,. S. II. Man ning, of New; Hanover, was and is a prohibitionist. So alstt is the leading orgau ot the Radical party in the State. No longer ago than the 13th of July of this , year, just one month after their C omentum, the Xnc Xortk State, a pajier that had lteen the i tarty orgau sim-e Re construction, siH-aking of the future j pf prohibition said : . "Pliticians, or rather jtolitical demagogues may plot and coalesce to stave oft the inevitable, yet it must come. No agreement with the auti prohibitionists . or covenantii with saloons that is.grog-sho can defer the day of wrath. It is; vain for these men to rave about their rights and liberty for , weak-; kneed and tippling legislators to? talk about opposition to' all 'suiuil tuary laws.' Conventions may. pledge themselves, against all pro j hibitory legislation and nwear theirl candidates ' to fealty - to whisky makers and venders, ' it is all too late. In some S'tates'the doom may li linger because of, the apathy aud ig- uorance of the people, yet it is only a -delay of agony." - . . j No wonder, then, that the Radi cal' party, ;t remembering! the great popular yeralpt ,iast:, year .agaiust prohibitory liquor legislatioD,wishe.s to hide ' itself 1 from' tmi people- of North .' ..Carolina?" 5 No"' Vohder' it wishes to continue its life-long war against : Democracy under, a neyy name and a new flag. ' Radicalism was liorn fighting Democracy, and it will die fighting it. It 'is pretty near dead now. Sixty days' training uuder Mott's leadei-ship to make it an Anti-Prohibition party have been enough to fill its ranks yvith incurable, divis ions and dissensious, to . strike. , its colors ind slink out of sight, ayvay back in the rear, desiring nothing so much as to be neither seen nor heard until the battle j-hall lie over. Then it proposes to: lie-both seen I and heard and felt that is to say if there shall lie any spoils to divide out. , The record of the,.',') Democratic party on I the other hand, is a ...... i . , . .

In its grave the Deinocratic party says emphatical cally, let it stay ! If, hoyveVer, after this, unyltody shall think prohibition is not dead, there certainly. will lie no objection to the Legislatui-e's preaching its funeral.

Deljong, a prominent citizen of Kansas, noyv in New York solic iting funds to aid the colored refte gees iu Kansas, gives a -'sorry ac count of their condition. ' He esti mates that (0,0(0 of these refugees invaded Kansas iu their cxoliis from the South several years ago, of whom 5,000 returned to their Southern homes. Of the remaining' 55,000 1 at least 10,(MM are .'represen ted .as lieing "in various stages f destitution, some literally starving." Iu one county over two hundred families are living iu ''dug-outs" un fit for dogs to inhabit, on f orty-acre tracts of government land ; but ut terly destitute of teams, implements or seeds for the cultivation 'of-their farms. Judge Deltng knows of at. least five persons who died from eating poisonous weeds in the ex tremity of their hunger. He says the county poorhouses of KarsaS ue closed against the snflereis, and aid is required to 'keep these pro pie from dying dreadful deaths in the coming winter." The bare re cital of these facts, says the Balti more. ', luriushed Iroin a resioti: sible source, is the strongest. 'proof Mtssible of the mistake made. by. these colored people in .deserting their Southern homes to seek, homes iu an inhospitable climate' 'and. among an unsynipathiziug topula- tion. Fortunately the abundant crops of the South for the past two years ami the comparative, release from jHtlitical excitement .hits pretty effectually stopped the colored exo dus, yvhich really never gave . any promise t if a successful, outcome.
