When Napoleon was in EevDt and a great battlewas fnjpending he made a opcKtu 10 ma army ana Band: "SoldierB, forty centuries are looking down upon you from the heietha of those pyra mids." Just so Jupiter Used to sit en throned upon the top oi Mt. Olympus and overlook the.doings of the children of men. These . , am i rather nftv thougts for a common man to contem plate, 1 but sometimes I ! wish that I could take flight to the clouds and poise myself and let the earth ioll under me,! so that I could look down' upon the na tions and see what they all were doing. The; world has been getting smaller ever since I was a boy It has beenj shrink ing, shrinking frora.year to year, for it used to take three years to go around it, but now less than ithree months makes the great circuit.! Still we are not content, fur though the land is wired pretty well, the seaj is not and a vessel may be lost or a fleet destroyed away out in raid-ocean land we could not hear of it for a week. This little war of ours is growing bigger and spreading wider in its probabilities. ;We thought that Cuba was to be the battle ground for our army and Cuban waters for our navy; bat tbe Philippine islands are thousands of miles f away1 and the Canaries not for from j Africa. It is now a war of invasion and the end is not in sight. But ibis too late now fo entreat for peace qrirbitration, and so we mu9t all fall into Jine and do our share. . When the preachers put on their war paint I reckon! jt is 'no harm for the laymen and the Sinners to tight. We remember that inthe last war the preachers, both: nprth ahd south, were more belligerent than any other class. They dident do m'uch fighting, but they went along and encouraged ' the boys and prayed for them and nursed the sick and the woundeel aqd showed their faith by their works, bui some of them were awfully mistaken about which side the Lord, was great designs. - on,v or what were His "God moves Jn a mysterious way His wonders to perform. Blind unbelief is sore to err And scan His work In ivain; God Is His own Interpreter And He will make it plain .', The preachers are juist human like other people and subject' to like pas sions and prejudices, t remember that just before Georgia seceded our Home preachers couid hardly i maintain their Christian serenity jii the pulpit or out of it. and one of them, an eloquent and gifted man whom the whole commu nity respected and reverenced, took for his text the twentieth verse of the second chapter, of Joel: ; "I will remove fa." fropi you the northern ' army and wily drive him into a land barren and deso late, with his face toward the east- sea aud his binder part toward the upmost sea, and his stink shall Come up and his ill savor shall come uj, for he hath magnified to do great 'things..' ; ' "Fear not, oh land! be glad and re joice, for the Lord ! will do great things." . r ' I tell you he'made it fit our case like a prophetic prediction, and we could see the yankeea flying from our valiant troops and driven to their utmost borders and scattered from the Pacific ocean to Plymouth' Bock, and perishing to death 'all aleng the lino for l?ck of provisions, and nobody left to bury.' them. At the same time Henry Ward! Beecher was breathing out threatenings and slaughter from his Brooklyn pulpit and declaring that the Almighty's hand was on their side and ' within a few months would wreak his vengeance upon the slave holder, and set the bond men free. 'And the editors knew noth ing at last. I tell you, my biethrfcn, that preachers and editors are just hu man like the rest ot us, and the world will never have a, fair- chance- to get even with them, until every man has a puJpit and a newspaper of bis own.

Who can measure the glory of war with a grief like theirs, a,nd this is onlv one case.- There are or. will be thousands Like it if th' is war goes on But we must fight.

Uaihoun told Sauire that Mr. MpKinley had ' called ior 100,000 ne- groes to go and take the Canary islands, well sir," said Isquire, "I is not agwine onder no sich a call. It is not a spectable call, sir; I is willin' to dd sum fightin', sir, but de white folks must go long wid mewhere dey go. sir.

Whv, he is dead of course, for he was near seventy ! when he joined the Eighth as an amateur, and he fought all day at the first batt'e of Manassas and received a Blight wound in the head and that night he went to Dr. Miller and said,' "Doctor, I have fought enough; give me a discharge, and let me go (home.

Yates In Charlotte Ormrvr There seems to be considerable misun deratanding among the laitv concerning tne right of mortgagor and morgagee in regard to the possession of the personal cnattel or movable article: morteaeed, and it is my purpose Bimply to make piain the rights of the mortgagor and mortgagee under sach a writing, -A-chattel mortgage is a compound word formed of the two words chattel aQd mortgage. In order to arrive at a definition of the term chattel mortgage, we most of course ascertain just exactly what the nature of a chattel is, as well as that of a mortgage Herman on Chattel Mortgages defines a chattel as follows: Every species of property, except the freehold or things which are parcel of it. This Bame au thority says: A mortgage may be de- fiaed to be a debt by specialty, secured y a P'egge of property real or personal, ot which the legal ownership is vested 1D tne creditor, hut of which in equity the debtor, and . those claiming under "Wi remain the actual owners, until de- b"red by judicial sentence, by legisla- IAT . I 1 1 ve enactment, or Dy meir own locnea. persona 1 property, f Personal property 18 suouiviueu inio cnaueia rwu auu per- 80naI- A chattel mortgage can be given upon a chattel real, for instance a lease of . years, i but they are usually given upon perSoua! chattels or moveable ar ticles. The term chattel mortgage does not of necessity imply a sealed instrument. tor instance a bill of sale, or some oth er writing intended as a security, but not under seal, is covered by the ; term. Must ;Be Acknowledged. Chattel mortgages must , be acknowledged be fore some duly qualified officer in our State, though in some other State? this acknowlengement is unnecessary. bi'EciFic Description.. A mortgage of personal property like that of real property may be void for uncertainty of description. For illustration, if the de scription in a certain mortgage should read: One hundred head of mules, and two pair of clay-bank horses, and four yoke of oxen in the city of Charlotte, the mortgage would be void for the rea son that the description did not suffi ciently designate the property sought to be conveyed. Care should be taken that the mortgage clearly establishes the particular property intended to be mort gaged. There is a difference between the rights of the pledge or pledgee in the ease of a pledge, and the rights of a mort gagor and mortgagee in the case of a mortgageih that in the case of a pledge the title remains in the pledgor, while the possession passes to the pledgee, while in the case of .a mortgage the conditional title passes to the mortga- gee carrying with, it the possession. In ithe ease of Hinson ys. Smithy. 118 N. C property : before or ajter the non-per- formanee of the condition ; posessiou fol lowing the conditional title that was vested in the mortgae by reson of thege mortgage. Under this. ruling of our Court, which we regard as based' upon sound reasoning, if A should mortgage to' B his horse for $100 far two months, and it was uot stipulated in the mort gage that A was to retain possession"! of the horse, B would have the right, to take possession of him for the time stip ulated. Some one - might askj: who would be liable for the feeding of the horse in case the mortgagee should take possession of hinu Obviously the mort gagee would be compelled to feed the horse, unless it were stipulated m the mortgage that"lhe mortgagor was to do so. and then B could simply have A to increase the amount of the mortgage sufficiently to enable B at the expiration! of the time, to secure the amount paid out by him for feed, by selling the horse, should A not redeem him by paying the sum due.

In time of war, nations which are fighting are known as belligerents, and nations which are at peace as neutrals. Under the law of nations, neutrals, are under obligation to keep out of the war themselves, and not to render improper assistance to either side. What are known as neutrality acts impose penal ties of fine or imprisonment upon citi zens of any neutral country who enlist in foreign service, or fit out vessels of war, or organize military expeditions against a friendly state. , , -' ' i England has stringent neutrality laws, and so far as the United States govern ment is concerned, is also bound by what are called the Three Kules of the Treaty of Washington, under which the claims for damages for the losses in flicted by the Alabama and ,cther pri vateers during the Civil War were sub mitted to international abitration. : The first of these rules imposes an ob ligation to use due diligence in prevent ing the arming, equipment and depart ure from an English port of any vessel designed to cruise or carry on war against the United States. Under this rule, after the outbreak of hostilities be tween the United. States and Spain, if such an event were to occur, no vessel 6f war, whether previously purchased or contracted for or not, could : leave an English port to enter the Spanish service. r Under the second rule, Eogland"L"V;" u, il V .lands nlodtfAd nnf: tr norn.it. r.r wiffeTl llie 1 fiend of God either belligerent to make use of her ports or waters "as the base ot uava operations against the other, or for the purpose of the renewal or aug mental of military supplies or arms or the recruit ment of men. Spain could not be al lowed under this rule to refit her ships, obtain supplies of arms or ammunition, or recruit crews at any Kritislv port in time of War. . Under the third rule, due diligence is enjoined for the prevention of any vio lation of these neutral obligations. No vessels could be equipped under the Three Kules in British ports for service against the United States, nor could a British port be converted into a base of Spanish supplies or hostile operations. These rules do not forbid a neutral nation to sell arms, other military sup plies and coal to a belligerent in time of war. But the vessels-of either nation could seize on the high ., seas all such Etores intended for the country with which it was at war. ltorn Too Late. 1 A young man upon whose upper lip the first faint Sigus of adolescence had begun to manifest themselves had be come deeply enamored of a maiden sev eral years his senior. His home, and hers as well, was in an ambitious college town in the mid Wesl, among whose municipal regula tions but let us not anticipate. He had been under the influence of tha tender passion for a period certainly nb less than four weeks, and could wait no longer to know his fate. " One eventful evening, f.fter walking up and down the sidewalk in front of her home until nearly nice o'clock, he went up the doorsteps, rang the bell, and was admitted. Theyoung lady received him in the narlor. and without loss' of time he declared himself in the most impas sioned manner. There was a brief silence. Then the deep tones of a distant bell were heard.

It is the cavern of Macphdlah, which Abraham, on the death of his wife Sarah, pur chased as a family burial place, nearly 4,000 years ago. f Here he himself, was also buried, and, later on, ; within this cave were laid to Vest Isaae and Jacob, with their wives-j-Jacob's body having, at tne patriarch a request, been brought from Egypt to be placed there by the side of his wife, leah. Moreover, since it was embalmedj after the manner of Egyptians, his features probably re main intact to-day. ' It is humiliating to admit that neither Jew nor Christian can to-day stand be side the. tombs in which' repose the founders of the iHebrew nation. But such is the fact, jfor the Mahomniedans guard with jealous reverence the tomb oi Aoranam ior iwnoni tneir name is It is a singular coincidence thati such a title should be given him by Mpslems, for in the epis tle ot bt. James we read: "Abraham believed God, aad it was imputed unto him for righteousness ; . and he was called the Fnenji of God." Of course no illustrations of the tomb themselves can be obtained so long as such restri'c- tions exist; bun one? may view atleast the entrance to the patriarch's epul chrej guarded iron bars. By Constantinople, Wales was adn by solid masonry aiid a special firman from in 1802, the Prince of ltted here, attended . bv Dean Stanly Un ISfiG a similar favor was accorded to the Marquis of Bute, and three j-cirs after to the Crown Prince of Prussia, the .' late Emperor I'redenck. UAe can imagine, there- ,fore, what cliace there is for! ordinary tourists to enter. . According tp the accounts of those who came her with these princely vis itors, thetomfbs of Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Leali are in separate apart ments, lined with marble and approach ed through siljer gates. The place of honor, in the centre, is occupied by the tomb of Isaac! Between the tombs of Abraham and jlsaac a circular open ing, and it appears probable that the structures whioh are seen are nierely modern cenotaphs, the actual sepul chres being in' a subterranean cavern at a still loweo depth with pieces of pa per which rep resent the accumulations of centuries. jThey are written petitions to Abraham, which pious Moslems have dropped throiigh an aperature above. "Is this thel real cave of Macphelah?" we inquired. J -'Can this be the actual tomb which Abraham acquired 40 cen turies ago, with all the formality and care revealedj in the description given of that bargain in the "book of Genesis?" It seems at first incredible, but there are many arguments in favor of its geiiunieiies! . .A' Tale of a Missing Plank. . Apex Xews. ! . i It is reported that in Eastern Wake county a man by the name of Spencer has been preaching sanctification, and in order to carry out his points he an nounced td his hearers that an last Sunday he! would walk on water. Saturday iight he went to n pond ana drove np some post? and luiu yoiiio planks along about tliree inches un der the water, bunday morning, by appointment, a large crowd assembled to see the wonderful feat. During the night some mean boys took out one of the planks. After spending- several minutes i(i prayer 4he sanctilicationist proceeded to walk. With eyes fixed heaVenward he slowly and:deliberately walked in. Everything was still, and 6uch remarks as "Ge, whiz ! that man shorely am sanctified 1" could be heard from the eager crowd xf on-lookers Suddenly when about the middle of the pond he came to the missing plank is.er cnoog ! unaer went the parson aoove ims neaa in water, l he now thoroughly enraged crowd dispersed with very little faith in sanctification, When you are tired, the only sensible thing to do is to rest. 4'. . i After..;.

PRIZES OF WAR DOW DIVIDED.1 They Uo to the Officers and Ballois Who Capture the Ship. The capture of the Spanish mer chantman by the eun-boat Nashvill has given rise to many . inquiries as to what is the law of nations on this sub? ject and an exchange gives briefly some interesting tacts, "the term 'prizes' in time of war," says , this authority, "is generally applied exclusively to property taken at sea. ' As between the belligerent powers themselves, the prop erty in a ship or other thiDg captured passes at once by the mere .capture to the captor. On a ship being taken she must be sent to a port belonging to the capturing power, where the court of ad miralty on evidence adjudicates whether she be lawful prize or not. If the de cision be affirmative, the prize is then sold; or if a Bhip of war, a certain al lowance is granted by the government. The produce of the sale or grant is lodged in the hands of the accountant general of the navy for distribution to the, officers and men who assisted in the capture. The net produce of the sale of gran t is first divided ratably among any ships if there be more than one, engaged in the capture. If under the orders of a flag officer, he receives one thirtieth of the whole part;-the' com manding officer then receives one-tenth part of the remainder, or of the whole u no iiag is present; it there is more than one ship present, one-tenth part is aivmea among tne commanding othcers After provision has thus been made of thetfag, if any, and for the portion of te commanding officer or officers, the remainder-of the proceeds is so distrib uted, that each officer, man and boy shall receive shares or a share. Com manders and officers of a similar rank receive 45 shares each ; lieutenants and officers of similar rank, from 30 shares to 40. shares, according to seniority; sub-lieutenants, etc., 20 shares each, midshipmen, etc., 12 shares; naval cadets, iO shares; chief petty officers, 12 shares ;: first-class officers, 13 shares; 8econd:class petty officers,! 7 shares; able-seamen, 4 shares; ordinary sea men, 2 shares, and boys, 1 share each." The trouble about small souls is that they never know how little they are. "There is so much trouble coming: into the world." . said Lord Bolingbroke, "and so much more in going out of it, that it is hardly worth while to be here at all." If a man and a philosopher comes to this conclusion, what must oe the natural conclusion oi we mousauas of suffering women who undergo untold torture in bring ing their babes into the world? Philosophy of this kind is based upon gross ignorance.- ine tact ts. tuat there xs no necessity tor the severe pangs under gone by the average woman.. If a woman is strong and healthy in a womanly -way, motherhood means to her but little suffer ing. The trouble lies in the fact that the majority of women suffer from weakness and disease- of the distinctly feminine or ganism and are unfitted for j motherhood. This can always be remedied.!
