C. j Reidsvtlle Times. 'Our Father who art In Heaven" Listen to Thy child In prayer, Help me to endure my burden. "It Is more than I can bear." Blessed name ! O hallowed be it ! Name of Jesus, Father, Son, Teach me with thy loving kindness How to pray "Thy will be done." Done on earth as 'tis in Heaven, Round that bright and glorious throne. And though with sin and sorrow laden, May I say "Thy kingdom come." All my trespasses forgive, . Make me from my sins to flee, Not as I forgive O God! But In Thy mercy forgive me. Lead me from temptation's ways, From the paths of sinfulness, Teach me that to trust Thy word Is the way to joy and peace. In my hours of sin and sadness, As a child I raise mj plea, Knowing that my Saviour sayeth; "Ask it shall be given thee." Thine tie power is, and glory O'er the earth, the sea, and sky, "While on others Thou art calling Do not Saviour pass me by." OBSERVATIONS. A hen with clipped wings has a defective flew, and a swallow a crooked flew. Mr. O'Leary couldn't keep anything on his stom ach, not even the championship belt, says the Chicago Tribune. A man never realizes the beauties of this world till he drops two square inches of thoroughly buttered toast on the polished side of a newly laundried shirt-bosom. An Illinois man, writing to the clerk of the Su preme Court of the State for a license to practice law, said: "If you have two sizes send me the largest one.". It Is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than It is for a young woman in a fur lined silk cloak to walk along without letting it flap open Just a little, to show that the fur is more than mere border. A real estate dealer who died recently said that he was afraid he had committed the unpardonable sin. If he could but recall the words, so many times repeated, "Within five minutes' walk of the depot," he might die happy. Swell "Oh, Robinson, I am not at all satisfied with these trousers." Shopkeeper "Indeed, sir! Sorry to hear that We made 'em to measure, too!" Swell "Yaas; but, you see, I didn't want them to measure, I wanted them to wear!" Philadelphia Tunee ; The greenbacker at Wash ington still maintains his savage determination to destroy both the old parties. If he could utilize his chin as a deadly weapon this thing could be done with ease. Little Jack Greenback Thought he would lean back And wait for the speakership pie; When he put in his thumb He looked very glum, And (finding that all the plums had been taken by the Democrats) he said, "What a big fool am I." Boston Herald; To say "thanks" and "quite a good deal" has almost passed the "genteel" stage, but they are heard occasionally. "Notable." "bright" "enjoyable," "factor," and a few other favorite words, also are getting a little worn. A member of the rhetorical class in a certain col lege had Just finished his declamation when the professor said: "Mr. , do you suppose a gen eral would address his soldiers in the manner you spoke that piece?" "Yes, sir; I do." was the re ply, "if he was half scared to death." President Grevy, being asked recently to write something In a lady's album, indited the following: "Life is like a game of chess; each one holds his rank according to his quality, but when the game is over kings, queens, knights and all the rest are thrown Into one common box." v A gentleman addresses another gentleman, whom he doesn't knew, at a party: "This affair Is awfully stupid; let's go out and take a drink." "I would like to do It," was the reply, "but I can't leave very well." "Why not?" "Why, you see, I am the one who is giving the party." Vin. Sat. Night. Things are coming to a pretty pass In this coun try when a chicken main cannot come off In New Orleans between Georgia and Kentucky without being followed by a suspension of all the banks in that city. Atlanta Constitution. A revenue man who was mixed up with a parcel of slab-sided North Carolinians one night last week has written to Washington that Solomon in all his glory was not a raid like one of these or language of that Import Atlanta Constitution. Mary Anderson played In Holyoke, Mass., one night last week. An excursion party of one hun dred persons arrived from Westfleld half an hour late, and, as they had been told that the perfor mance would not begin until they came, the first act of Romeo and Juliet" was repeated for their benefit FROM WASHINGTON. Opening of the Political Ball in the Hoitse The Appropriation Bill Under Consideration The lie publican Frogiamme. Special to Baltimore Sun. Washington, March 27. The ariny appropriation bill waa introduced in the House to-day by Mr. Sparks, and as the anticipated objection to .its intro duction was not made, the considera tion of the bill was at once proceeded with. All the provisions of the bill were passed upon till the political fea tures were reached, when an adjourn ment was had. No restriction was placed upon the debate to-day, but if, when the two sides of the chamber lock horns, the discussion promises to be protracted, the live minutes' rule will probably be adopted after a reasonable time. Experienced members of Congress ex pressed the opinion to-day that, even under the most favorable circumstan ces, Congress is not likely to be able to adjourn in less than three weeks from this time. It was said in well-informed quarters to-day that there was not much reason to doubt now that the appropri ation bills, with the political features attached, would become laws either with or without the signature of th. President; that there was a strong pro bability that if he could not bring him self to the point of affixing his signa ture to the bills he would permit them to become laws by allowing the consti tutional limit of ten days to expire without returning them. These VieWf are only matters of opinion, but they are received with confidence, and so strong has the impression taken hold of the stalwart Republicans that the Presi dent is " shaky , that they go up to the White House in troops every day to expostulate with him and stiffen him up.

TVio aoiirtn nf thfl Housfl Rfinublifian caucus this afternoon is what was gen- , 1 A J T4. - . . . . . . .1 4Un4- erauy expeewsu. j uuuwsww wat during the discussion the feeling pre vailed although no expression was giv en to it, that ultimately the Democrats would succeed in their purposes, either through the active or passive assent of the President, but the determination was tamake the fight as vigorous and as protracted as possioie, irrespective of this. It was said that the clause, in the army hill containing the political features bad been made much more comprehensive than it was in the army bill as passed by the last House, and that if it was passed and the bill be came a law, it would give to the Demo crats everything that they wanted, and they would not need to make any fight on the legislative, executive and judi cial bill. The determination that the Republicans should make no more pairs will be a source of much personal in convenience, but it will bear as hard on one side as the other. Another Savings Bank gone up! This has been said so often of late, that people are beginning to look for safer investments for their surplus cash. Any man who has 25 cents to Invest cannot do bet ter than buy a box of Mott's Liver Pills, for they never fall always keep them In the house. mar25 lw New Laws and Changed Laws. Raleigh Observer. An act to provide for keeping in re pair the public roads of the State makes the justices in each township a body corporate styled the " board of supervi sors of public'roads." The first meeting is to be held on the first Monday in May for election of a chairman, to serve un til the first Monday in February, 1880, the time for subsequent annual elec tions. The board is to meet on the first Monday of February, May, August and November, to consult on the condition of the roads, having in the preceding week gone over slBA personally examin ed them. At the May meetings over seers shall be appointed for sections then laid off, and hands allotted to them and their field of work assigned. The overseer may resign after one year's service if he has done good service, and may work instead of oversee work for two years thereafser. Three days ot work in each year is the portion of fevery able-bodied man between 18 andjiS, the Supervisors tex cepted. A dayTwork Is not less thaft' 7 nor more thart 10 hoi&rs. One dollar a day or an ablbodied- substitute will excuse service. '' Failure to work or to pay is a misdemeanor which will cost , $5 or five days imprisonment, or both fine and imprisonment as the court may direct. The overseers are to make quarterly reports under oath to the boards of the condition of the roads, number work ing, number failing to work and wheth er delinquents paid their dollar ; those failing to work or to pay to be at once warranted and tried. At the February meetings of the boards, the overseers are to make report of all moneys col lected and file statement of manner of expenditure. Failing to discharge these duties is a misdemeanor, for which overseers are to be warranted and fined 87, which and the costs, not being paid five days' imprisonment results. The supervisors are empowered to lay out and discontinue cartways; the county commissioners to lay out and discontinue public roads, under exist ing rules, except that no more than five jurors may be summoned to assess dam age to property. The supervisors, also, are to make annual report, at the first term of the Superior Court for their county after the first Monday in Au gust, of the condition of the roads and as to the discharge of the duties as signed. Failure to do so is a misde meanor, and the penalty is fine or im prisonment or both, as the court please. This law as ratified on March 14 ap plies to the State, excepting the counties of Alleghany, Ashe, Alexander, Watau ga and Meeklenburg. PERSONAL PROPERTY EXEMPTIONS. Section 1.

' ' ' Read three times in the General As sembly and ratified the 20th dav of Fel ruary, A. D. 1879. SEALS AND DEEDS. Whereas, The necessity for the use of the word "heirs," to carry a fee sim ple estate is a relic of feudalism and an unnecessary technicality ; and Whereas, The reason for using pri vate seals of deeds has long since ceas ed, and the present forms of deeds is are complex and lengthy, thereby un duly increasing the cost of registration ; therefore, The General Assembly of North Caroli na do enact ; Section l, That all instruments hith erto requiring a private seal shall be as good and available in law for all pur poses as if sealed. And all instruments not requiring an official seal shall be as valid to all intents and purposes in law as if the same had been sealed. Sec. 2.

Sec. 5. That the fee of the clerk for acknowledgement and probate of deeds, including the privy examination of wife (if any,) shall be ten cents; and the fee of the register of deeds shall be for reg istering the same, twenty cents. Sec. 6. All laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 7. This act shall be in force from its passage. Ratified the 7th day. of March, A. D. 1879. . - Political. The constitutional convention of Lou isiana will meet hi New Orleans April 21St. " Warmouth and Pinchback were elect ed members of the Louisiana constitu tional convention. The Philadelphia North American suggests that each State be allowed an additional United States Senator for every million of population. The Texas House of Representatives has passed, by a close vote, a joint reso lution for a poll tax amendment to the constitution of the State. The approaching annual election of Tammany Hall sachems is a pivotal point of political interest. Should the party led by Comptroller Kelly be de feated Mr. Tilden's star will be once more in the ascendant. The Boston Pilot thinks that "tore fuse Jeff Davis a place on the Mexican war pension list because he was a rebel a quarter of a century after he had fought as a patriot is like punishing a son for a misdeed by his grandfather." Grant, according to the St. Louis Qlobe-Democrat (Rep.), is rather the fa vorite with the Republican legislators of Kansas, Blaine being a very close second. The Democrats prefer Thur man, but would support Tilden were he nominated. Giving Too Much Play to His Humor. Pittsburg, Pa., March 27 Yester day afternoon an old man named John W. Hammel was painting the front of a store on Penn evenue. He stood on a high office stool in order to reach up as far as possible. John Wilkinson, a member of the fire department, came along with a couple of friends, and said to them, with a laugh : "AVouldn't it be a good joke to knock the stool from un der the old man !" The others urged him to do so, and he gave the stool a kick that knocked it out into the street. Hammel fell on his head and side, and was fatally injured- His skull is frac tured, and four of his ribs are broken. He is over sixty years old. Wilkinson was arrested and is now in jail. Ham mel will not live till morning. Something foi Sunday Readin.r. From Our Neighbor Across the Way The Demo crat. Bad Manners Going to church too late, and leaving the house during ser vice, unless compelled to do so by sick ness. If people who behave in that way, or giggle and whisper in church, knew how disgusting it is in the esti mation of decent people, they would certainly quit it unless their brain is de fective. Parents do a great wrong to permit small boys and gills to go to church without some one with them to make them behave. Children, big and little, should be made to sit in the same seat with either their father or mother. i ' A Cradled Calf". Manchester Correspondence Richmond Dispatch. Yesterday afternoon our city was the scene of an incident which greatly amused many persons. A f aimer from Chesterfield passed through this place having in his wagon a cradle, and in the cradle was a young calf. At the corner of Hull and Ninth streets the calf became somewhat restless and noi sy, but by careful nursing quiet was re stored. All who witnessed the affair pronounce it an excellent mode of con veying small cattle. - Mr. Van Miller and Miss Emma Harshaw gave Lenoir a sensation last week by running away and getting married. On their way to the magis trate's the horse attached to the buggy in which they were riding also ran away and threw them both out of the vehicle. They were not hurt, nor did they stop until the knot was tied. The story is told in the Topic.
