"The Swelling Sea."
From the Danish -
The birds of the North flew onward,
The lichen Its odors shed;
The erescent moon was ple
As a water lilyead
Torn from its parent stem and floating
For weeks on its watery bed.
The Northern light Toomed brightly
The circle was broad and low;
The rays were like whirling pillars of nre
With green and crimson glow.

The dying man lay In his hnt--f-
"Oh, where shall we bury thee? '
Shall we bury thee en the mountain,
Or under the swelling sea?
Shall we bury thee on the mountain
In the eternal snow;
Where the spirits of the mists shall dance
While thou liest still below?
Or wilt thou be sunk in the sea
The blue and swelling sea?
The birds of the tempest shall whirl above,
, An the seals play merrily. ,
' He mournfully smiled and whispered low:
"In the sea, the swelling sea."

A man with a 8600 diamond on Ms illrf Mpom
leaned over a hen coop in a Cincinnati market and
a hungry hen picked off the jewel and swallowed
It. The thief was soon lost among the hundreds,

the diamond cost him $28.
A Congregational church In a rural Ohio neigh

A young man, possessed of fine elocutionary skill,
reads a report of some eminent clergyman's ser

work is done by deacons. The same plan: -has
been adopted In several other Western places, but
not with so much success, for the Ohio reader has
the ability to deliver the borrowed sermon with all
the fervor of an original effort.

DRIFT OF POLITICS IN THIS STATE
The Sherman Movement Not Booming
Very Brtfekry-'Hi Repn.bitca.ns for

Philade4atolM 8thf 'tM ? V ;
"I can count all the Sherman men in
North Carolina on the fingers of one
hand," said Hon. A. W. Tourgee last
night to a caller. "There is Judge Al
bertson, United States District -Attorney,
ix-United States Sehatdn Abbott
and William P. Cannaday, of Wilming
ton, and J. J.Martin.Congressman from

tend to be, but don't care a rush for
him. Moreover, Collectors Young,
Wheeler and Mott, like all the rest of
he;real.Ilepublicans inJTorth Carolina,
areiieart and soul for Grant, but they
keep their mouths .shut to save their
offices." "
"How about the removal of Internal
Bevenue CoUecJipr Towers, Judge?"
"Well, Powers is a Grant man, but not
specially so more than others. The
secret of his removal, or rather suspen
sion, was that Congressman Martin
wanted the place for White, a Quaker
natiye Eepuplicanf who lives in Mar
tin's districtr and . who .dijl.a greaFdeal

"I ddrft see how it should make much
difference. Such, white men as go
South don't go to hire out as field hands,
and they need colored labor just' as
much as the natives do."
"Would not Organized immigration
in colonies be best for Northern men
going South?"
"Colonies might do for, Germans, the
Irish and other foreigners ; but Ameri
cans, and Northerners especially, are
not clannish. They have too much in
dividuality, and they lack the commun
istic" or social elements which alone
can make colonization successful any
where. The trouble with the Yankee
who goes South is that1 he knows too
much. He is too stubborn and opin
ionative. You can't tell him anything.
What he don't know about farming
isn't worth knowing. He will spend
$30 on an acre o'f ' land not worth $5
after he gets through 1 with it. He un
dertakes to apply Northern methods
and he fails." 1 ;
"I understand you have left North
Carolina for good?"
"Yes, I give it up. I will leave here
in about a week for Denver, Colorado."
"There are a gowx-rnany lawyers

"I don't want to go where there are

A HUSBAND GROSSLY WRONGED,
A Bride Flees with Her LoVct and
Her Marriage Portion.
Pottsville, Pa September 6. A,
singular social scandal has just been
published hem A deaf-mute couple
named Coulter formerly lived in Mi
nersville, four miles from here. They
had a daughter! who, so far from shar-t
ing ber iparents' physical infirmities,
was accomplished and an acknowledg
ed belle both in Minersville and Potts
ville. A few years ago the family re
moved to Philadelphia, where Miss
Cqulter appears to have attracted as
much, ( attention as she did here, and,
whre '$ha was wooed and won by F.
Lear Smith, a wealthy ,lawyer of Read
ing. Miss Coulter accepted Mr, Smith's
proposals, but stipulated for a marriage
settlement of SlOjOOO, which was agreed
to. They were, married on July 2, but
for some reason the marriage portion
was not paid over at Onee. The honey
moon was a long and brilliant one, and
was spent in ah extensive bridal tour,
