BY EUGENE FIELD. it comes to me often in silence, When the firelight sputters low When the black uncertain shadows Seem wreaths of the long ago ; Always with a throb of heartache That thrills each pulsive vein, Comes the old, unquiet longing For the peace of home again. I'm sick of the roar of cities, And of faces cold and strange ; I know where there's warmth of v rel come, And my yearning fancies range Rack to the dear old homestead, With an aching sense of pain, But there'll be joy in the coming, When I go home again. When I go home again! There's music That never may die away, And It seems the hands of angels On a mystic harp at play Have touched with a yearning sadness On a beautiful broken strain, To which is my fond heart wording When I go home again. Outside of .my darkening window Is the great world's crash and din, Ajiid slowly the autumn shadows Come drifting, drifting in. Sobbing,, the night wind murmurs To the splash of the autumn rain ; But 1 dream of the glorious greeting When I go home again. Chicago News. AS TO POLITICS. The Stanly News comes'out strong ly for Hill for President. . I declares j I The Goldsboro Argus unequivocally for Gov. Holt. The Times has been able to find only two Hill men in Concord. The Winston Sentinel puts Col. F. H. Fries, of Salem, in nomination for Governor. New York' Republicans have call ed their State convention to meet at Albany April 28th. The Charlotte News says of the 99 members of Pineville Alliance, Meck lenburg county, 65 are Hill men. It begins to look like Gov. Holt would be nominated for Governor without opposition. Mecklenburg Times. A special from Raleigh informs the Durham Globe that State Auditor Sanderlin is to be the Alliance can didate for Governor. The Reklsvitle Review understands that Mr. R. B. Glenn, of Winston, will be a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for 'Attorney Gen eral. A colored man who was made a member of the executive committee of the People's party for Vance coun ty, is out in a card declining the honor. Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, says he will not have second place on the Democratic ticket, and intimates that if he "can't be corn he won't be shucks." Col. A. K. McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, believes that Cleveland will be nominated and says he can be elected without the aid of New York. nator ree sir Hill says he will not cross Iver bridge until he comes to it. Perhaps the Senator expects some one to burn this bridge in front of him. Washingtt n P st. There are five candidates for the Presidential nomination from Illinois, not including Hon. Adlai E. Steven son, who the Statesville Landmark considers the best of the lot. A Democratic State ticket is talk ed of in North Carolina, headed by Capt. S. 15. Alexander, which is look ed upon as a concession to the Farm ers' Alliance. Washington Post. We see it stated-that Marion But ler, President of the State Alliance, will probably be a candidate for the Congressional nomination in the third district, which is now represented by Mr. B. F. Grady, an Allianceman. Congressman Springer, of Illinois, Chairman ol the Ways and Means Committee of the House, has aban doned ex -President Cleveland and pronounced lor Senator Palmer, ol llinois, as the iJemocratic presiden tial candidate. On May 31st, at Syracuse, the kickers in New York State will hold an anti-Hill Convention. The State Chronicle thinks that Grover Cleve land should speak his mind in regard to these bolters, for that is what they are. The Charlotte Chronicle is inform ed by a prominent Repuphcan that Tudee W. P. Bynum, ol Charlotte will probably be nominated lor Governor by the Republicans. The Chronicle does not think he would have it. It is stated by the Charlotte Chron icle, and of course by authority, that Mr. Frank I. Osborne, the brilliant Solicitor of the Eleventh District, will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General. The. Charlotte Chronicle hears that Col. J. R. Webster, of Reidsville, ex Speaker of the North Carolina House ol Representatives and. editor of Webster's Weekly, will be a candidate for the Congressional nomination against Capt. A. H. A. Williams in the Filth District. Senators Yance, Ransom and Hill will be invited to deliver addresses in Charlotte on May 20th the anniver sary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The State Chron icle calls upon Mr. Joe Caldwell, edi tor of the Charlotte Chronicle, to ask Senator Hill if he favors free coinage of silver, and secure a plain answer. Now, that's right, Senator Hill must answer this question before he can get our people to vote for him. THE AURORA BOREALIS A FINE DESCRIPTION OF OL'R WON DERFUL NORTHERN EIGHT, From Hie Fen of Hendei-Aon'a BUtliiguiHh 'tl Lawyer-Student, Walter R. Henry, 'Who is so Well-Informed on all Sub jects. Mr. Editor : Saturday night between the hours of seven and nine I God hung His crimson banner out ! upon the Northern sky. One quar ter of the firmament blushed grad ually into a lovely pink and deepen ed in color until the home of the North star seemed to have been sud I denly painted blood red ; arches and ! columns and swords and spears of a mellow white light shot upward and about amid the heavenly panorama, vanishing rapidly while new ones in turn appeared to disappear at once, while through the lower portion of the awe inspiring celestial glory a few stars were visible shining feeblv with a sickly yellow light as if offend ed at the interposition of this stran ger between - their glittering glory and the earth ; nor was the moon too great to pay due attention to this visitor, for she floated onward sur rounded by a distinct halo in honor of its presence in our latitude. Many of our most intelligent citizens thought at first that it was the reflectiori of some town or city on fire, but soon came to the conclusion that it was the Aurora Polaris, or Borealis, as it is most generally known, sometimes ; called streamers or Polar Light, and j when seen in the Southern Hemis 1 phere, called the Australlis. It has I been many years since an Aurora has been visible in this part ot the coun try, and it was new to many who saw it on this occasion. It may be that a few words collated horn the authorities and mostly in their very language, descriptive of 'the same, will prove of interest to some of your readers. The word Aurora is derived from two Greek words meaning the golden hour, and is generally applied to day break or the morning. in mythology the doaaess 01 Morning is represented as riding in a rose-coiorea cnanot scattering roses from her hand and preceded by the morning star. the Aurora Koreans, meaning 1 Northern day-break, might be de- scribed as the Goddess of Night riding in her crimson car, down the ways ol darkness lascinating the r world with her beaut' and creating about her with beams of living! light such gorgeous images as appals the genius ol man and forces him to acknowledge the glory and omnipo tence of his God. Wherever we turn our eyes throughout the scene of nature and fix our attention on its plans JJand movements we find the Creator acting like Himself; and in no case is this more strikingly dis played than in the grandeur and magnificence of the orbs and wonders ot the Heavens, ana the immense spaces with which they are surround ed. "Great is Jehovah and of great power:-1 lis understanding is infinite; His Greatness is unsearchable. Canst thou by seaching find out God ? Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection ? Who can utter the mnrhtv operations of Jehovah? Who can show forth all His praise 1 .0, these are hut parts ol Mis ways, b it the- thunder of His power, or the full extent of His omnipotence who can comprehend ?" "The Aurora Borealis is a noctur nul luminous meteor supposed to be electrical, often very splendid, espec ially in high Northern latitudes. It consists of white crimson, pale green ish vellow and steel-colored mellow light, and exhibits various and chang iii'r forms and appearances as the arch, columnar up-shooting streams, and beautiful coruscations, which sometimes cover the whole heavens It takes its name from its resemblance to the dawn A rare form of the Aurora is that in which the rays appear to hang from the sky like the fringes or folds of a mantel. 1 he one that has just visited us was ol an unusual lorm, size and color. Crimson Aurora? like ours have often been imagined by the supersti tious to be omens of war, pestilence, and famine. "The 11 a mine splendor, Threatening the world with famine, plague and war, 1 o princes death, to kingdoms many curses, To all estates, inevitable losses ; To herdsmen rot, to ploughmen hap less seasons, 1 o sailors storms, to Ecities civil treas ons." And people of poetic temperament have easily imagined that they have seen on the bosom of the Aurora "Pierce, fiery warriors fight upon the clouds In rank and squadrons and right form ot war. In many parts of Ireland a scarlet Aurora is supposed to be a shower of blood, and under that name it is mentioned in the annals, always in connection with some battle or the murder of a great chief. Our Aurora came too late to play any part in our Chilian embrogho. Perhaps if our President could have had it to come a little earlier his pre mature message might have matured and borne bloody fruit It I did not know what the late scarlet Aurora was, I should hope that it was the bloody shirt that the North has been waving at the South for a quarter of a century, snatched away from the lying fanatics by the hand of a just God, outraged beyond endurance by the infamous slanders of those South haters and the true traitors and only true traitors to this V ' I I ( 11(111 1 II! . 111. T. , f 1 1 V. 1 111 V O ' 1 ' Sherman, Foraker, and their coadju tors. Auroral displays are frequent, if not continuous, near the magnetic poles, while in middle latitudes they are the invariable accompaniments of all con siderable magnetics storms. Near the equator they hardly ever occur. There is considerable variety in the forms they assume. (1.) A hori zontal lieht like the morning Aurora or break oiTday. (2.) An arch of lieht which frequently extends across the heavens from East to West ; five of such arches have been seen in the polar region at one time. (3.) Slen der luminous beams or columns well defined and with bright light. (4.) The corona. (5.) Wave or flashes of light. The Aurora Borealis of the Arctic winter is said to be the most mag nificent spectacle that relieves the gloom of that reg ion. "It bursts with the suddenness of a storm upon the Northern horizon, and speeds to the zenith in a great arch of flame, heaving and waving to and fro, sending out flashing beams, and playing the tricks ol meteors' in color and velocity. Then there is a gathering ol splendors in the centre of the magnificent arch. The bril liancy of the meteoric streams grows more intense, the red color of their base, the green of their middle, the yellbw of their tips, becomes deeper and more vivid. They dart nidi greater vivacity through the skies. The earth itself glows with the magi cal light. The sea, when unfrozen, and the ice fields, gleam with a strange and wierd beauty. Heaven and earth tremble in their outlines as if all were unreal, and night heightens the charm ol the spectacle by her imposing silence. Gradually the crown lades, the brilliant bow dissolves, the streams shorten, the meteoric play is less vivid and frequent, the storm sub sides, and the gloom of winter suc ceeds the midnight magnificence." There is much discussion in scien tific circles as to whether Aurora; are attended by a cracking, hissing or whizzing sound as has been repeat- edly affirmed bv those living 111 high jy orthern latitudes, the conclusion reached is that there is no improba bilrty ol such sounds being occasion- aily heard since a somewhat simiiaj phenomenon accompanies the brush discharge of the electric machine, but the sounds are generally attributable to the crackinc and straining of ice, The average height of Aurorae is one hundred miles, out they nave been known to approach within two miles of the earth, some of their rays shooting downward. Sibermann asserts that Aurora:- arc- preceded by the same general phe nomena as thunder storm, and con cludes that the storm clouds, instead of bursting into thunder, are drawn into the upper parts of the atmos phere, and their vapor being chrys- tahzed into tiny prisms by the intense cold, the electricity in the atmosphere becomes luminous by flowing over the tiny particles. It may be taken as conclusive that the Aurora is some sort of an electric discharge ; there is much discussion and doubt as to the origin of the elec tricity. Phe nearest reasonable hypothesis is that of I)e la Rive, say the author ities, wno aeciares tnat tne -Aurora is in electric discharge between the magnetic poles ot the earth, leavin the vicinity ot the North matrnetic Mile in the form of clouds of electri tied matter which 11 oat toward tne South pole through the atmosphere at a height ol lorty miles or more from the earth, and while they are thus moving forward, bright streams ol electricity are from time to time shot out from them, observable only under certain exceptionable conditions Auroras appear mdst frequently about every ten or eleven years, and this periodic apperance of Aurora in conjunction with the appearance ol spots on the sun, has excited inves tigations, and science concludes that there is some connection between the two (there is an immense and unus ual spot on the sun at this), and out o this grows the theory that Aurora- are caused by a direct flow of elec trictity from the sun. The only remaining theory is, that the Aurora is caused by clouds of ferrueinous meteoric dust, which is ignited by friction with the atmos phere, but the scientists declare that though this theory is plausible it is not sound. All the writers on the subject of the Aurora Borealis conless that its causes are very imperfectly explained insisting, however, that it win be found as science progresses that the same causes that produce hurricanes in the solar atmosphere thrill sympa thetically to the furthest planet: of ouj system, in waves not only ol light and heat but ol magnetism and electricity. Walter R. Henry in Henderson Gold Leaf. It is probable that Stephen B. El- kin, now Secretary of War, will be the Republican candidate for Gov ernor of West Virginia this year. It is said that Representative W. L. Wilson, one of the best informed Democrats in Congress, will be se lected by the Democrats to defeat him.

" w 1 EX-GOV HOLDEN DEAD A FAMILIAR FIGURE IN NORTH CAROLINA PASSES AWAY. He was a Good man. But He Did Some Things That Our People Could not For Get, Although They May Have Forgiven. Gov. Holden, whose heath had long been failing, died here yesterday morning. William Woods Holden was born in Orange county in Novem ber, 18 18. He was at an early age apprenticed to the late Dennis Heartt, Esq., editor and proprietor of the Hillboro Recorder, where he learnt the art of type-setting. After com pleting his apprenticeship he worked for a time as a journeyman pjinter with Mr. Heartt, for whom he ever cherished the most grateful and tender recollection, when he conclud ed to settle in Raleigh and try his fortune here. He accordingly packed up his scanty supply of clothing, and taking it on his back walked to Raleigh, and secured a position on the Raleigh Star, the edited by Thos. J. Lcmay. Being a very intel ligent and bright youug man, he not only set type in the office, but be came a constant contributor to that popular journal, his articles often j appear. ng as editorials. 1 he Star was it that time printed in the old building, still standing nearly opposite the hirst Presbyterian Church on Salisbury street. hollowing the teachings ot hather Heartt (as he was known in his later 1 years as the lather ol the iNorth .1 r.i r .1 twt .il Carolina Press), Mr. Holden was an irnest advocate of the principles of ie W hig party, which was then in he ascendency in the State. About he vear 1844, he, however, was led to change his party affiliations, and aving purchased the rortn taro- ina Standard from the late William oring, who afterwards, removed to Wilmington, he continued that paper is the organ of the Democratic party n North Carolina. He infused new fe into the Standard, and made it a power in North Carolina. The Democratic party gradually but constantly increased in strength ntil at length in 1852 David Settle Reid was elected the first Democratic Governor chosen by the people. He was succeeded by Gov. Thom as Bragg, of Northampton, and dur- ng the last years of Bragg s admin istration Mr. Holden appeared on the stage as a candidate for guber natorial honors. Circumstances lavor- 1 his nominations A majority of he county conventions, it is saia nstructcd their delegates to vote for him. The convention met at Charlotte ind the Whig party having fallen into a hopeless minority, there was reat Democratic enthusiasm. Hon. John W. Ellis, then a Judge of the Superior Court, was the op ponent of Mr. Holden, and many of his friends attended the Convention. The late Col. Edward Cantwell, an ardent friend of Mr. Holden, arose ind moved that inasmuch as the Democratic party of North Carolina .1 . i 1 j was present, tne convention snouiu esolve itself into a mass convention and proceed to vote for a Governor. The motion was adopted by acclama tion. When the ballot was taken, lowever, fudge Ellis was declared the nominee of the convention for Governor. Mr. Holden acquiesced in this de- , T 1 T-Ml' .1 cision and inive luoge runs ine sup port ol the Standard but it was enerally understood that he lelt that an injustice had been done him, and that he was soured. In 1S60 Mr. Holden was a dele- rate, to the National Democratic Convention at Charleston, and stood firmly for Stephen A. Douglas for President. That Covention not be- ing aoie tomaKea nomination, au 11 . 1 : . 1 journed to Baltimore, where finally two nominations were made Douglas on the one side, and Breckenndge on the other. Mr. Holden, according to our re collection, supported Mr. Douglas, but better authority informs us that he gave the Breckinridge ticket a lukewarm support. When Mr. Lincoln was elected, and the whole South was thoroughly aroused over the election of the first Republican President, Mr. Holden sounded the "Watch and Wait" slogan through the Standard. In April 1861, Mr. Lincoln having called on Gov. Ellis lor troops to sustain the Union cause, a convention of the people was called, Mr. Holden and the late Hon. George E. Badger and Kemp P. Battle were elected as the delegates from Wake county. This ticket was known as the Union ticket. Mr. Badger, however, introduced an ordinance of secession which Mr. Holden voted for, and he signed the ordinance of secession. During the war he urged peace measures and became widely known as an opponent of of the Confederate administration. He ranjfor Governor aeainst Vance in 1864, but was de feated. In 1805, alter the war was over, President Johnson appointed him Provisional Governor of North Caro lina. In the succeeding election held in 1866 he was a candidate be fore the people but was beaten by Gov. Jonathan Worth. In 1868 he was, under the reconstruction acts, when the negroes were first allowed to vote, elected Governor over the late Thomas S. Ashe. Troubles arose during his administration and he was impeached by the Democratic Assem bly of 1870 and declared incapable ot holding office. He afterwards was appointed postmaster at Raleigh, but soon separated himself from all poll tical parties, and led a quiet and exemplary life. For some years his j j health has been very precarious, and after a lingering illness, he passed 1 away yesterday. I Gov. Holden was a remarkable man. As an editor he was very successful and wielded a great pow ler in North Carolina. He wrote vigorous articles, short and pointed, and he kept in line with popular thought. He, however, was an earn est advocate of internal improvements and other progressive measures in advance of the masses ol his party. Gov. Holden left surviving him Mrs. Holden and one son, Mr. Charles Holden, and five daughters, one single daughter and four mar ried, as follows Mrs. Fritz Mahler, Mrs. Claude Sherwood, Mrs. Walter R. Henry and Mrs. Coe. Raleigh News Observer, March 2. OUR BOOK TA BLK. Some of The Periodicals on The Editor Desk for Review. ROMANCE.

The official life of a nation has pro bably never been so fully represented in a single issue 01 a periodical as in the March number of North American Review. It contains articles on Spending Money, by Ex-Speaker T. B. Reed, and the Hon. W. S. Holman, Chairman of the Commit tee on Appropriations ; on the World's Fair, by Director-General Davis of the Columbian Exposition on the issues 01 the Presidential Campaign, by United States Senators McMillan, Hiscock and Hale, and Representatives McMillin, Bland and Breckinridge ; on the Need ot an International Monetary Conference by the Hon. Wm. M. Springer, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and on Our Commercial Relations with Chili, by Wm. Eleroy Curtis, Chief of the Bureau of Ameri can Republics.

Dor man B. Eaton ; on Free Ships, by Captain John jCodman, and On the Highlands of Jamaica, by Lady Blake wife of the Governor of that island. It Will. It is the opinion of conservative, thinking men that the Democratic mugwump meeting in New York hursday night has helped Senator Hill more than anything else that could have happened. It has un masked his enemies, and they prove to be the same bushwackers who have fought the straighout Democrats -x r n t 1 mi in iNew YorK lor years past, rim can be nominated and elected without the support of mugwumps and bush wackers. Mark that. To $ie foregoing, from the Greens boro Record, we give a hearty amen. Unmask the enemies of the matchless and , unconquerable leader, David B. Hill, in New York, and you can count the simon-pure Democrats among that number on the fingers of your two hands. Hill is everywhere recog nized as the one man' of, all others who most successfully routed the Re publicans of the "Empire State," horse, foot and dragoon, in the last campaign, whereat Republicans, mug wumps and their sympathizers are naturally up in arms against him. Nothing is more natural. Should not this fact alone rally Democrats everywhere to his support ? We think so. Fayetteville Observer. A Concord correspondent of the Charlotte Democrat, noting the death of J.J. Cross, an inmate of the Cabar rus county poor house, says he was formerly mayor of Concord, and further that only two white males have ever gone from that town to the poor house and singularly enough both were ex-mayors of the town. A prominent farmer named R. M. Burke, of Chatham county, fell" into a vat at a distillery and was drowned. He was seventy-eight years old and was not a drinking man. His visit to the distillery was from curiosity, the distillery being a licensed one. NEWS OFA WEEK. WH AT IS HAPPENING IN THE WOULD AROUND VS.

The North Carolina Railway Com mission has made a decision as to the giving of free passes by railways.
