Mr. Ifal Ayer denies tnc cnarges of cowardice made in a recent issue of the Evening Star by its Raleigh correspondent against Lieut. L,. t Polk. Tom Devereux and tne ex- deutenant will have to fight it out. 'erhaps there were some others who recollected "the chill, in the corner ol the stone fence. Henry F. Griffin, of N. C, has de clined a $1,000 position in the Records and Pensions Division of the War Department, to which he was appointed under the tivii Service rules. This is the latest "doctored" of ficial statement from the treasury Department. I would like to know enough of finance to show the skill with which these figures are minipu lated, for there is in reality a de ficiency in the Treasury as opposed to the surulus which irrew to such dhnentions during Cleveland's ad ministration. However, Foster says: "The amount of 4 per cent bonds continued at 2 per cent to date is $20,171,250. There are about $30,- 000,000 4 per cent still held by national banks that will undoubtedly be presented for continuance. "The treasury cash balance yes terday was stated at $155,641,538, ol which $16,700,000 is on deposit witii national banks and $19,000,000 is in subsidiary coin. Exclusive of these two items and of $100,000,000 "gold reserve"' there is, therefore, now in the Treasury nearly $20,000,000, showing a very large increase ol $5,000,000 in national bank circulation, and it is understood that a number of the banks are preparing to take out ad ditional circulation." Foster also says that the Depart ment proposes to redeem on presen tation after September 2, all outstand ing 42 per cent bonds not continued at 2 per cent, and consequently that there is no ground whatever for the impression prevaumg m some quar ters that interest will continue to be paid after September 2 on the non extended bonds. Secretary Noble says that he hits not resigned and has no intention of resigning. He is looking m the best of health, and is well sunburnt. He returned to the city Friday. The unique plan of John William son, a North Carolina negro, to pay out of the public Treasury both the owner and the owned, and thus square the corners left by slavery and and slave-abolition, was published in Friday's Star.

Ask those who have j tried it. j dictate the nomination it would cer tainly go to him ; he cast a Blaine anchor to windward by saying that the opposition which once existed among Southern republicans to Mr. Blaine was now entirely gone and that they would gladly support him it he was nominated. The next Harrison man to turn up in Wash ington was ex-Kepresentative Mc Comas, of Maryland, who by reason of his supporting the Force Bill was defeated for re-election in a district wnicn is strongly reoubh- can. Mr. McComas is hankering after a seat on the Federal bench : therefore it is not strange that he should say that during a tour of the northwestern States he found the people all believing that Blaine was too loyal to Mr. Harrison to become a candidate and that Mr. Harrison deserved a re-nomination and would eet it. No such reports have been brought in by disinterested ob servers. If Secretary Noble has not got tired of saying that he had not resigned and does not intend to resign, the people are tired of hear ing it just to show how public opin ion regards the matter it may be mentioned that a sporting man stood in the lobby of a hotel, which was crowded with people, and offered to wager any amount from $40 to $1900 that Noble was out of the Cabinet before the first f January and there were no tr.kers. Senator Carlisle is here looking splendidly after his lone rest. He says that all the newspaper inter views with him concerning demo cratic candidates next year which have from time to time appeared this Summer have been entirely lalse, as he has expresessd no opinions on the subject.

Please Giv Noble a Rest Carlisle Denies Talking: Chandler Will pi ake it Warm The Weather Bu reau a Partisan Political Machine. Washington, Aug. 24. 1891. Mr. Harrison is certainly unfortu nate in one thing. Only those repub licans who already hold Federal offices or those who are reaching out after one, speak publicly in favor of his renomination. Robert Small, the negro ex-Congressman of South Carolina, who is drawing a federal salary in that State, dropped into Washington last week, and, having succeeded by some hook or crook in getting himself interviewed by a reporter of a respectable paper, pro ceeded to eulogize Harrison and to say if the Southern republicans could On Thursday last, which comes to all spirit 01 mm, wno in this lite we knew and loved as Hugh F. Murray, take its .departure from the pain- stricken and wearied body with which, for ibrty -four years, it had been tenanted. Those who with lov ing nearts ana willing hands, had so long watched with and ministered to him, leit that his oit-repeated prayer had been answered in mercy, that he had gone home, and was at rest that all was well with him. What ever distorted conceptions of life men may have, of its failures and success es, its reverses and rewards, they acknowledge that the soul, which, when the summons comes, leaves this world and enters upon the life eternal, inspired by a reasonable re ligious and holy hope, at peace with God and in perfect charity with the world, has made life worth living and realized its highest purpose. Those who bear his name and whose lives and happiness were linked with his, have the sweet solace of knowing that these words fitly and truthfully describe his last days in time, and that in this blessed condition he en tered upon the real and true life in eternity. Descended from an an cestry who loved and sought knowl edge, devoted to learning and high thinking, rather than the pursuit of material wealth, he inherited an intel lect of singular clearness and brillian cy, he found his highest and purest delight in the study of books and the acquisition of knowledge. An inti n.ate social and professional inter course 01 more than twenty years with ample opportunity for knowing mm, is my apology lor asking the privilege of giving my estimate Of his imna ana character and expressing my appreciation 01- mis talents and virtues. From his boyhood his as piration was for the law, to which science he was passionately and un- scifishiy devoted. He 1 studv its principles, its strong reasons. its delicate shades of thought and fine distinctions, by which the manifold and varied affairs of human life are adjusted and settled. He loved rather the treatises upon the law, than mere "case law," and sought to solve the causes presented to him upon el ementary principles rather than to find cases in point. He was fond of the literature oi the law, especially the biography and study of great jurists and authors. He found in Mansfield his highest ideal of a great judge, and admired with enthusiasm the manly eloquence and intrepid courage of Erskine and the beauti fully rounded character of the "great and good" Lord Denman. He once wrote for the Albany Law Journal several articles upon the life and char acter of Lord Campell, which were grecefully acknowledged in a letter to him by his daughter, Lady Hard castle. His articles upon several of the eminent lawyers of our State were well written and re ceived high commendation. I have sometimes playfully charged him with partiality for Mansfield, because of his name, to which he admitted that he was not indifferent. Now that he has gone from us, and shall no more give us pleasure by his pres ence and conversation, my mind re verts in pleasant and loving memory to the many hours of social commun ion with him and to the contests at the bar in which I have been either by his side as an associate or in op position to him. Few relations m lilegivea finer opportunity for the study of character and disposition than close intimacy in the practice of the law. I he conduct of a long and hotly contested forensic battle tries and tests the metal of which a man is made, mental and moral. Mr. Murray was always faithful to his client, courteous to his opponent, candid and considerate with the court. His arguments were always instructive . and entertaining. He prepared his cases with care and pre sented them with force. His briefs were elegant in composition, learn ed in matter and exhaustive in scope. In several causes of more than ordi nary interest he won in the Supreme Court signal victories, and elicited the highest enconiums from the bench. He was esteemed by the court one of the most learned and ablest of its bar. I think at times he displayed powers which were near akin to genius, expressing the finest shades of thought in language of singular elegance and beauty. In his daily intercourse with his professional brethren he was always honorable, kind and considerate. His mind was singularly pure and free from any thing approaching coarseness. His sentiments and language elevated and noble. His constant association with the thoughts and writings of the great authors and poets of our lan guage and his remarkable power of culling from their works the finest expressions and best thoughts and incorporating them, by quotation, in to his writings and conversation en riched and purified his style. In this respect I have never known his superior. His well selected library, appreciative and aiscnminating art notations and underscoring, gives us the best insight into his mind and taste. He did considerable literary work, sketches of men whom he ad mired, criticisms upon books which he enjoyed, and gathering the choice thoughts of his favorite authors. His writings in the hands of an intelligent and appreciative editor would make a volume full of interesting matter, elegant language and elevated sen timent. When I say that Tennyson was his favorite poet, Scott his favor ite novelist, Carlyle his favorite essay ist, Chatham and Erskine his model orators, I give the best assurance that his thoughts were pure, his con ceptions lofty and his morals above question, from these fountains none can draw aught but what is elevating and strengthing. I am sure that to him, if we can know of the doings of those we leave on the shores of time when we pass into eternity, the gath ering of these chips from his work shop into a little volume would be the most grateful memorial of his life and its work. He was always charitable in his judgment of men and kind in his speech concerning them. He was loyal and generous to his friends and of him it can be said with absolute truth he lived and died without an enemy. He was modest and retiring in his manner and not inclined to self-seeking. I have personal knowl edge that he received, unsolicited, most nattering oner from one of the larcrest publishing houses in the country to pay for and publish work on a branch pf the law to which he was especially devoted. But for his physical inability, I trust thai he may have performed the work and thereby associated his name with the legal literature of his country and so gratified his most honorable ambition While not dependent upon society for his pleasures, he was fond of associating with congenial friends and was always instructive and interesting in his discourse. While not affecting wit he appreciated, and often pleas ed his friends by judicious indulgence m that playtul humor which always gives pleasure and never pain. count it a most noble tribute to him that 1 never neard" him indulge in satire or sarcasm. His affection for his family was one ol the many fine traits in his character. He leaves wile whose beauutul devotion and immolation of herself upon the altar of service to him through long years of pain and suffering, whose deep and abiding faith, whose well poised char acter and cultivated mind elicits our highest admiration and eminently fits her for the sacred duty of training the minds and moulding the character of the sons to whom is committed the task of taking up the work of the father who had a noble ambition to win distinction in intellectual effort but whose best resolution was de feated by a body too frail for the hard and continuous labor which his mind imposed upon it. May she and they find comfort and strength in the God to whom the husband and father so willingly and confidendy commit ted his eternal welfare. I have no sought to write a formal obituary of my friend, but to simply give expres- sion to tne tnougnts and leeiings which spontaneously sprung up in my mind and heart as I stood by his open grave and with other loving hands laid what was mortal of him away to await the general resurrection. This is a feeble and imperfect expres sion of my estimate of one whom in my young and my mature manhood I have loved for his sweetness of dis position, purity of character and sim plicity of heart. His memory will always be pleasant and his virtues grow brighter as I shall approach the hour when the summons come to join him. H. G. C ITEMS OF INTKRKST.

It is known that wasps' nests often take fire, supposed to be caused by the chemical actions of the wax upon the paper material of the nest itself. May this not account for many mys terious Jfires in barns and outbuild ings? Mrs. Hausley, of Onslow county, had to leave her crawling child for a few minutes alone and fearing it might fall out of doors tied a rope around its waist and to the bed post. When she returned the rope was around the child's npek and it was dead. The Artrus says the small steamer built by Mr. O. R.

The $100 which Mr. Martin No bles paid to the Express Company here for a "green goods" package was returned to Agent Nunn by the Company, as it was not called for at the other end of the line, and Mr. Nunn notified Mr. Nobles that he could get the money by an attach ment and bond to protect the Com pany against any chance of loss. Mr. Nobles' attorney, Mr. Chas. Brown, collected the money on attachment before Justice Moore. The Roanoke News is informed that Mr. Frank Hitch, manager of the Tarboro and Hamilton Narrow Gauge Railroad, who . is also largely interested in a line of steamers from Hamilton to Baltimore, will in a very short time, put a line of steamers on Neuse river, to ply -between Weldon and Montrose, on Chowan river.

A special from WiUiamston, dated August 15th, says : Deputy Collec tor Wheeler Martin, for the past week has been making it hot for the moon shiners and crooked men. He has made two seizures this week. He seized a barrel of moonshine on Thursday, and last night did some nice work. Some parties brought some of their moonshine down the river in a boat. He cot wind of it and met them at the whan, seizing brandy, boat, &c. The moonshiners made for the woods but it is thought he has them spotted. Mr. Martin makes a very efficient officer. After 3,816 miles of railroad travel there and 3,793 miles back, Sheriff R. O. Pittman, of Robeson county, and Col. F. F. McRae, ot the same county have returned from Albany, Linn county, Oregon, with D. A. Mc- Dougal charged with the murder of Simeon Conoly some months ago in that county. The murder was a most brutal one and created a sensa tion at the time as will be remember ed. It was believed that McDougal went to the house of Conoly, who was his -uncle, having blacked himself like a negro, and decoyed him away and The Reports of the correspond ents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Caroli na Experiment Station and State Weather Service, for the week ending Friday August 21st, 1891, show that very favorable weather conditions have continued.
