There are Mime oth 'rj things in which North Caro lina was also first. In 1741 .she sent five hun dred men to help take Car thagena in Central America They were under Col. Innis. of Wilmington, who as af terwards appointed by Gov. Dinwkdie, of Virginia, to the chief command of he Amer ican forces opeivting against the Fi-ench in what is now Western Pennsyl vania. In 17CCnhen the Hritish war vessels whose papers were not duly stamped, the people of Wilmington refused to allow the contractor to supply the King's ships with provisions, seized his boat, aud took the men and lodged them in jail. 2'he people from the neighboring coun ties embodied in large force and a party went on board of the King's ships and forced the King's officers to give lip the vessels they had detained and to agree not to attempt to execute the law. This was war. No bloo was shed but nevertheless it wan flagrant war, and that war . was in 1700. Them was no similar action in any of the colonies until years after wards. The battle of Aamance in 1771 was an affair among and between the people of North Carolina. A large part of the population of the Wets tern section became dis contented with their situa tion. They proposed to pay no more taxes imposed by their own legislature; to have no more courts; to obey no laws made by their own as-j sembly; they proposed to! dissolve the bonds of govern ment. If there had 1 opposition to them there would have been anarchy establish! d ill tin' cohaiv.

One of the Judges said, "As (Jod said to the waters, so far and no further,' so the Constitu tion said to the Legislature.' That, was the first time any court had ever held a legisla tive act, to ho nnl and void because unconstitutional. It was a great precedent. It es tablished constitutional liber ty on a safe and sure basis. In Engand it is a maxim that Parliament can do any thing except make a woman a man; in America the Legis lature is subordinate to the Constitution. North Caroli na led the way in enforcing this doctrine. North Carolina was the first State to have a geolog ical survey made. It was the first State in the Union to establish an Experi ment Station. As far back as 1819, she sent to England and import ed .a civil engineer, at 5f oOOO a year in gohi, to dig canals and straighten her rivers. He was a red headed, industri ous, hard working man, nam ed Fulton. For years North Carolina had the longest railroad in the world, us well as the long est plank road. She made provision for her insane w hen there was only two or three public insane asylums in the world. Her statesmen has not been back ward. iYeuYS' und Observer.

"I had occasion, a few weeks since, to take the early train from Providence to Po-don, and for this purpose ro-e at two o'clock in the morning. Everything around was wrapt in darkness, and hush ed in silence, broken only by what seemed, at the hour, t'e unearthly clank and rush of the train. It was a mild, serene, mid-summer night the sky was without a cloud, and the wind was whist. The moon, then in its last quar ter, had just, risen, and the stais shone with special lus tre. Jupiter, two ours high was the herald of the day. The Pleiades just above the horizon, shed fheir sweet in fluence in the Easi; Lyra, sparkled in thezenith ; .lndro nieda veiled her newly discov ered glories from the naked eye in the South; the steady pointers far beneath the Pole, looker up from the depths of the North. "Such was the spectacle as I entered the t rain. As w proceeded, the timid appro ach of twilight became more perceptible; the intense blue of the sky began to soften the smaller stars, like little children, wont first to rest; the sister-beams of the Plei ades soon melted together, but the bright constellations of the West and East remain ed unchanged.

Sfk'ct ed. i A Touching Scene. Anr.ie Paine contributes Ihe following lines to the Mi or Key columns: Clear and strong did the sweet old words, "Hide me, O, my Sav ior hide," come to us, sitting forlorn and disconsolate, n a wrecked train, on tne out skirts of a little village way up in Maine, waitin- for the promised train, toarrivethat ,vas to carry us onward. Tur uing to discover from whence came the sweet sound, we found a tiny chapel just be yond, crowning a noble hill, uirouvded by a beautiful grove, which seemed to shel ter it audits quiet guardi ans, who so peacefully rested in their narrow homes, from the inquisitive eyeof themss ing stranger. We soon found our way Hp, the wandering path, and in a short time had quietly slipped into the old fashioned, high backed pews, and werelistening with bow ed heads to the prayer offer ed up by the w hite haired pas tor, w ho in his snowy robes looked a very patriarch. There was indeed only "two or three gathered together," but none the less earnest were the words of their aged pastor, as h.i exhorted them in trembling tones to seek that "home not made with hands," to wzich he seemed so near so near mat lie was only awaiting his Masters call It was only evening prayer, but which of us who was so unexpectedly called to (iod's house by those simple words, brought to us by the gentle breeze, shall soon for get those few moments of qui et communion w ith our Ilea v I .lather.' And we bent our footsteps towards the scene of wreck and destruc tion, from which we had teen so mercifully preserved.
