Dr. Jacobs - writes .-that the
Christmas money came pouring
in for the orphans, and it was
all because the good peoplo
were told of their wants. Folks
j?ive more slily than they used
tc . Many sent money to the
orphans aud gave no name.
One sent rive dollars and sign
ed: Only a drummer. A friend
saluted me on the street and
took me by the hand and left
a dollar in it as he hurried on,
and whispered orphans. An old
man from the country, who was
my neighbor, and worked hard
for a living, and has a good
kind heart, met me with a
smile andsaid, "hi read about
the horphans and av brought
ye a dollar for them." "Hold
Hengland" lost a good citizen
when she lost John Allen, but
we gained one. I know he is
a good man, for we had a
poor fence between us
and he had" a bad cow
and I had run her out of my
corn several times and sent him
word to put her up, but he was
working away from home and
didn't get the word, and the
next time she was found in my
field I shot hdr, I was mad 1
was. The alliance knows I wai
mad, the alliance always gets
mad under such circumstances
but John Allen didn't; He
looked hurt in his feelings
when he met me. He looked
disappointed and said with a
trembling voice : "Hi know she
were a bad hanimal, but the
fence were bad too, and ni
were away and didn't get the
word. I reckon it is all right,
Major, but I would'nt av shot
your:?.'
Tbe cow got well and John
forgave me and we remained
friends. A man who loses
Johu Allen's good will is not
much of a man. But the worst
discomfiture I have met with
of late was the loss of my bill
before the farmers' legislature.
It wasn't even read the first
time. It never found a friend
It was a -bill requesting each
member, to give a dollar
for the soldies monument at
FredericksbuTg. . The 1.800
graves have t all - got marble
headstones, with the soldie rs'
names, and company and regi
ment, but there are 600 graves
right in the center, with no
names,. They are the unknown
dead, and Mrs. $arry wants
800 for a single monument
a soldier on a pedestal, who
will stand guard over his sleep
ing comrads. She wants ?100
each from eight southern states
aud has already received it from
North and South Carolina and
Arfe ansas. Our legislature has
adjourned. Maybe the speak
er of the house and the presi dent
of tha senate forgot it.
Maybe they want to give all
they have to spare to that en
campment fund of $20,000, or
maybe they don't care a dogon
about our dead soldiers. I won
der what was the matter. Only
a dollar? Why, I could get
that much from Job, or Lazarus
for a cause like that. Halt a
dollar would huve raised the
money, but I didn't want the
farmers' legislature to split up
their patriotism,and look small
before their countrymen. May
be I could got the 50 cents.
Who knows, but that money
must come and it will come.
There are a few people outside
of the Georgia legislature and
I will enter an appeal to them.
There is a poor widow up here
in Pine Leg district whose hus
band was buried in one of those
graves, and she vraiited to send
82 to Mrs. Barney for - a load
stone. His name was on the
book, but not on any grave, and
she could do nothing. There
is something to me that is pe
culiarly touching about these
unknown and unrecorded dead.
The d im distance of twenty -nine
year's has not obliterated
our sympathies for those hum
ble patriots, who, foremost
fighting, fell and were burried
int,o their shallow graves and
quickly cavered and left alcne
as the order to march to their
surviving comrades. No wife,
no mother, no child, no sister
no tears, no flowers, not even a
board with rude letters to tell
his name. In his last agonies
what would the, soldier have
given for a mother's kiss or a
wife's embrace, and what would
the mother or the wife have
given for the precious privilege
These widows and these moth
ers are all over the land. The
world was electrified to tears
when Wolfe's beautiful lines on
the death of Sir-John Moore ap
neared.
"Not a drum was heard not
a funeral note.' '
But there were thousands of
our boys laid away in their
graves with less attention than
Moore. . Of those 600 at Fred,
ericksburg the poet could say :
"We carved not a line ; we
raised not a stone,
But left them alone iu their
glory."

SUICIDE.
Id olden times the burial oi a
suicide was characterized by im
paling the body with a stake. Hap
pily nowadays no snch horrible
method of discountenancing the
act oi selfsslaughter is practiced,
though it it were and the virtaat
suicides included in the list with
the actual ones, staked graves
would be largely In the "- majority.
Virtual suicides iii the coiiaectioa
means that class of people who die
rather thai save themselves by
a specific such as Radam' Microbe
Killer, which, according to respons
8ible authorities, will care all dis
ease if taken in time, Eadatn's
Microbe Jliller testimonials are vel
worth reading and give hope to the
afflicted, who will find it to their
interest to send for circulars.

For all who are held bv the
chains of scrofula or other disease
of the blood comes from-Hood's
Sar8aparil!a, which ky imparting
the elements of gcd h'-aith i-nd
strength , to the vital tiaid, dis
solves the bounds o! disease ana
sets the captive free. No other

Hood's Sarsaparlla.-
The editor who works all day
and and all night, says the
Richmond State, is always ready
to advocate the early closing

Grcroing Poor Graceiuhy.
GrowiLg poor Is actually
harder than being bo. Pover
ty is not dangerous unless it
strikes in. Sometimes the sys
tem is strengthened afterward.
There is a'great deal of senti
mentalism in the talk about
success at poverty.
Povenyjof pocket is much
it ssoftena subject"of ridicule
than poverty of soul. People
will be apt to think u of you
pretty much as'you dojof your
self. If because you'eannot en
tertain as you once could, you
show solicitude lest yon should
be 'neglected; if you tak
friends to task and ascribe to
unworihy motives what may
or may not have been meant
for 31itjhts; if you endeavor to
enlist their sympathies, ten to
one they will drop off.
If, on the other ? hand, you
meet them as of old; if they
find the same sunshine about
you, you will not mind a few
inconveniences. Do not) let
life. narrow down. Do not let
the necess'ary carelulness strike
in. . Surroundings influence
spirits, and we long to have
grace and fitness and the poet
ry of convenience about us.
But the best gifts are every
man's. We can all have air
and sunshine, and with a mod
erate share of labor we can all
command most scrupulous neat
ness. If we cannot travel we can
let the life and light of the
busy wc rid in upon us through
books, magazines and papers.
To grow poor gracefully is to
bring our wants within our in
come. Beach out and bring
them in as did Noah his dove
until tbe waters abate and you
shall ride safely over the
mountain tops.
But you can no more grow
poor in a graceful way by
making debts than you can go
down stairs gracefully on stilts.
Small debts are so convenient,
you know, but they are like
swarms of insects constantly
buzzing in your ears. People
will know you are on stilts at
the time. You will hate to
come down, , but - how jnuch
freer you will be on your own
footing to feel you have a dk
vine right to all you have and
are. Boltimorean.

Blackguard Journalism Rebuked-
The Durham Globe of the
23rd inst. makes a most wanton
and cowardly attack upon Rev.
Baylus Cade, editor of the
Progressive Farmer, which the
press of the State cannot afford
to let go uurebuked: We say
the attack is cowardly for two
a-ons ;
re First. The Globe insinuates
that the editor of the Progress
ive Farmer might go elsewhere
than in North Carolina by
some other name than the one
given him by his parents, and
which he has never disgraced
by a questionable action during
a public professional life of
twenty-five years. The editor
of the Globe knew that he dare
not charge npon Mr. Cade what
he meanly insinuates. Now,
any man who insinuates against
another a delinquency which
he dare not charge against him;
openly acts like a coward.
Second The editor of the
Globe knew that Mr. Cade's
character forbade him to resent
any attack the Globe might
make upon him, no matter how
dirty that attack might be.
And we say, that a man who
attacks another, when the char
acter and calling of that other
forbids him to visit his assails
ant with corporal punishment,
acts like a coward.
This dirty attack upon Rev.
Baylus Cade was entirely un
provoked. The Globe attrib
utes to the Progressive Farmer
language which the Progressive
Farmer did not u?e, and then
says the editor of the Progress
ive Farmer "lies like a horse
thief." The annals of journal
ism in North Carolina might be
searched in vain for anything
that will equal in baseness this
attack upon Ihe editor of tbe
Progressive Farmer. For one,
we desire to record pur indig
nant protest against this at
tempt of an unknown interlo
per, upstart and blackguard to
come into this State and befoul
the names and characters of
good men; and we call upon
the citizens of Durham, and up
on the people of the State in
general to see to it, that the ed
itor of the Globe finds no op
portunity to use an alleged
newspaper to defame the men
who are tryiugTtfo elevate and
ennoble every class of our citis
zenship.
If a man of such pure and
upright life at Rev. Baylus
Cade cannot escape the detrac
tion of the Globe, who is safe
from its stream of misrepresen
tation and foul slander? Mr.
Cade came to North Carolina
five years ago to become pastor
of the Baptist church at Louis
burg, and is still pastor of that
Church. About a month ago
he added to his labors and his
field of usefulness by becoming
editor of the Progressive Far
mer. He is highly esteemed
by all who know him, and is
upright, sincere, courageous
and able. Outside of Wake
and Franklin, and among the
great army of Baptists of the
State, Mr. Cade is not generally
known in North Carolina ; and
if it were not for the fact that
detraction by the Globe is a
sure sign of Integrity and hon
or, this base slander might in
jure Mr. Cade where he is nut
known. A it is, tbe slander
ous article of the Globe is proof
positive of Mr. Cade's high
character and pure patriotism.
If this dirty attack had been
made upon us, we would not
have noticed it. But whsn it
is made upon one of our friends
and also threatens the dignities
and decencies of journalism in
the State, we cannot do less
than hold the author of it up
to public scorn and contempt.

The Way They Turn Out. -
Some of the members of a certain
Bapti t church in this State refus
ed to read the Recorder last year
pn the ground that tha paper was
not sufficiently outspoken on tem
perancedid noteudorse the third
party movement. Since then, a
number of three persons have been
expelled from tbe church either for
drunkenness or other disorderly
conduct. W recently heard of
one of these brethren being so
drunk on an excursion that his
pastor had to take care of him aad
his baggage, and in his grip sack
tbe following strange combination
was found: A good copy of the
Bible, a pair of brass knucks, a
prayej book, a bottle of whiskey,
two pistols, a lot or x. M. o. a.
literature. He may be taken as a
sample.of those who do not like the

We know now of a surety that
the reports which were current in

friend, the Rev. Israel Holler, of

destruction of the world, were false
for be recently wrote a 'note to tbe
register of deeds of this county

migbt wed in due form one of the

has since been happily married to
