THE SEIKO'S BEST PLACE.
Race friction is. to be deplored
and it may grow worse, wo hope
it will not, but will soften as po
litical irritations become less
marked. Separation and isola
t'on hardly promises much for
the negro and we do not think
the world can complacently look
on the retrograde of any people.
As 4o .o negro's aptness for
.;Mf jrovcrnment and advance-;
mout along tho Mnes of general
progress Tlie New Bern Journal's
history of James City, a negro
settlement across the river from
that city, seems a poiuter.
The Journal says :
''Jam?:-; City became the resi
dence of negroes when New Bern
fell into the hands of the Federal
army, drrinsr the Civil War, in
1 :0l
"From Unit day until the pres
ent time it has been solely in
habited by negroes, with no
white inlluence nearer than New
Bern to effect their material or
social development.
"James City is not an incorpo
rated town, but is under County
government rule. Attempts to!
secure a charter and make it a
town have proven iauures, as the
wrangle amonc: the negroos for
'first places' broke up all such
attempts.
4iIi:s officers, constables, mag
istrates and postmaster are re
groes. Its population all told,
has always been from two to
three thousand.
"As a result of the war, many
of its people becc me pensioners
upon the government, and it is
estimatod that the pensions paid
into James City by the govern-'
meat Lav'o amounted to $100 000
.-rince L.ie war.

KESH'E FOU LONGEVITY.
An exchange says: "Oeorgo
Kniglu, who has served forty
imniv nf m life sentence in the
Maine penitentiary, has out
lived every one who had any
thing to do w-th his trial, tho
judge, i uomeys. court officers
-and witnesses, all being dead.
He is now eighty yca-s old and
hale and hearty for one of his
years."
This would seem to say, if you
want to live long, get into the
Maine penitentiary. .
If that French court-martial
wants to gel beyond censure it
must get off the earth.
Gov. Goebel seems to be
amid distressing ojvironments.
Senator Blackburn has cut
stitches with him and Brya i,
Altgeld and Stone have come to
the understanding that they will
stay out of the Kentucky polUics.
A Paris dispatch of the 11th
says Drey-us w;il be pardoned
by ac, ion of the French cabinet
on next Tuesday, the 19ih. Par-
don, which implies forgiveness
:or crime seems about the next
best ihrg to jus. ce lor an in
nocent prisoner.
As there has been a good deal
of discussion in the papers as to
the correct proxunciaJc i of the
name of tne Hebrew martyr,
Drey -us, Mr. J P Caldwell, -the
editor of the Charlotte Obse.wer,
whoso mot o is to find out what
is right above everything and
stick to it, has gone to France to

LAMENT OF A LITTLE GIRL.
My brother Will, ho use to be
The nicest kind of girl,'
Ho wore a little dress like me
And had his hair in curl.
We played with dolls and tea
sets then,
And every kind of toy;
But all these good old times are
gone
W.U1 turned into a boy.
Mamma has made lvm liUle suits,
Wiih pockets in the pants,
And cut off his yellow curls
And sent them to my aunts,
And Will ho was so pleased, I
belie vo,
Ho almost jumped w.'th joy,
But I must own I didn't like
Will turned into a boy!
And now he plays with horrid
tops
I don't kuow how to spin,
And marbles that I try to shoot,
But never hit nor win,
And leap-frog I can't give
i 'back"
Liko Charlie, Frank or Roy.
a
Oh, no one knows how bad
feel
Smce w 1 has turned a boy!
I havo to wear frocks just tho
same
And now they're mostly white.
I have io sit and just be good
Wh' 'e W'U can climb and fight,
But I must keep my dresses nice
And wear my hair in curls;
And. woi'se oil, worstest thing
of ai'
I have to sdiy a girl!

We can't understand it, that
all of a sudden, dispatches say
that Dreyfus is hopelessly ill and
are measuring the limit of his
life to a few months. It comes
with such suddenness that unless
the great strain upon him has
produced a fearful collapse, we
feel hope oil that tho dispatches
are in error. We wan I him to
live to see himself completely ex
onerated from the treacherous
charges made by bad men.
