Thoughts. By sound of name and touch of hand, -Thro' ears that hear and eyes that see, We know each other In this land - How little must that knowledge be? Our souls are all the time alone, No spirit can another reach; They hide away In realms unknown. Like waves that never touch a beach. We never know each other here, No soul can hert another see To know, we need a light as clear As that which fills eternity. For here we walk by human light, But there the light of God Is ours; Each day, on earth, is but a night Heaven alone hath clear-faced hours.

The only difference between a "pig making a glutton of itself, and a man making a pig of him self is, that the pig at some future day will be cured. "Where's your partner, this morning, Mr. Hy son?" the neighbor asked the grocer. '"Don't know for certain," cautiously replied the old man, 'he died last night."

Portrait of a. Notori ous Carpet-Bagger by a Capet-Bag--ger. Washington Paper. "Meeting, accidentally, an old friend, lion, lienry U. Worthington, who was the first member of Congress from Ne vada, and who after the rebellion re paired, to South Carolina, and there be came the Warwick ot that btate, mak ing Governors of that State, United States Senators, and all that sort of thing, we stopped and talked. "Gen. Worthington has been filling up his leisure by writing a history of the rehabilitation of South Carolina. Through his effective wrork, almost wholly, did the Hon. J. J. Patterson come to the United States Senate. "Gen. Worthington turned me to some passages in his history of the State of South Carolina, and I struck upon what might be entitled, 'A pen-and-ink portrait of a notorious carpet bagger by a carpet-bagger,' and I read this phillipic anent John J. Patterson. "He is the foulest and blackest char acter in all human exprience or con templation, and is as false as Proteus, as treacherous as Iago, as cowardlv as Cymbeline, as avaricious as Shylock, as mendacious as Annanias, as treason able as Benedict Arnold, as lecherous as Frank Moses, and as ungrateful to party and friends as Monroe Edwards, who forged upon his counsel when in court defending him against the crime of forgery. " 'Born for a curse to rtue and mankind, Earth's broadest realms ne'er knew so black a mind; Night's sable veil his crimes can never hide, Each bo great 'twould glut historic tide.' " Mr. Worthington has set a good ex ample. Now let Patterson tell in turn what he thinks and knows of Worth ington ; let both say what they know of Moses, and Moses what he knows of them, and all the rest of the motley crew pool their secrets and freely state all they know of each other, and we would have a book worth reading and ready for sale. There is money in it. The Monarchist Coming Out More Plainly for a Change in Our Govern ment. Short Editorial in New York Sun. Senator Don Cameron, in a conversa tion at Harrisburg, on the 1st instant, with the correspondent of the Reading Eagle, said : "The people of this country are tired of the uncertainties of its Qoternment." This assertion was made by Mr. Cameron in the course of some remarks urging jQrant for President because he would give us a strong government. Now, a strong government means a tyrannical government. It means more power in the Executive and less liberty to the people. 1 Mr. Cameron proposes to subyert the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian principle, to have the people as free as possible and the restraints of government as few and as light as possible. Where the hand of the Executive has been al most unf elt, he would have it fall with the weight of iron and with the strong grasp of the eagle's talons. There can be but little difference as long as we adhere to bur present sys tem. So when Mr. Cameron openly arows hiwself in favor of stronger gov. eminent he most mean a different sys tem of government, a monarchical sys tem, and he can mean nothing less and nothing else. Are our people really tired of their own free government, as Mr. Cameron alleges 'I We think not. Some persons thought the people were tired of the Union. The war settled that question. The attempt to elect Grant a third time will decide whether the people are tired of their own government tired of governing themselves, If they are, they will elect Grant. If they are ot, they will reject him. fie oiaesf Biscuit in the State. ptatesvtlie Landmark;. J. W. A.

About 1U Wilmington Star. What will the people of the Cape Fear section do about the gubernatorial candidate? "She late Governor Dud ley, a name honored and revered in this section, was elected in 1837. Since his term of office expired the Cape Fear section has had no Governor or Lieutenant-Governor. Are our people con tent with this arrangement? Why should an extensive, rich, large tax pay ing section be tabooed whenever offices are to be distributed? If our people are indispensable in electing others, they ought to have some showing, now and then in the course of a half cen tury or so in the distribution of the more important and distinguished offices. What say the people of Duplin, Sampson, Brunswick, Bladen, Colum bus, Cumberland and other counties? Are you content to bear longer this inequality in the selection of guberna torial candidates ? Think of it : More head was from Guilford. Graham was from Orange, the adjoining county. Manly was from Wake that adjoins Orange. Reid from Rockingham, that adjoins Guilford. Bragg was from Northampton, one of the northern bor der counties like Rockingham. Ellis was from Rowan, farther west, but near the northern border. Vance was from Buncombe and Mecklenburg. Worth from Randolph, which like Buncombe is a western county. If you will consult a map you will see that in forty years there has not been a Gover nor taken from a section of the State embracing about two-thirds of the ter ritory, and which pays more than two thirds of the taxes. That is to say, run a line from Buncombe by way of Ran dolph and Wake to Northampton, and you will find two-thirds of the State left out in the cold without any Gover nor since Edward B. Dudley was elect ed in 1837. How long are these things to continue? We pause for a reply. Will the people act in their township and county conventions? We will see. It is true Gov. Jarvis is from Tyrrell, on the extreme east, but he is Gover nor by accident, so to speak. He wras not elected as such. But if he had been elected Governor, he hails from a section far removed from the Cape Fear OUR OUR FEBRUARY GREAT BARGAINS ARE IN STORE FOR those who have delayed in making their Winter Clothing purchases. We prefer to turn our Stock into Cash, open each seas( n with the newest designs in fabrics, and increase the solid reputation we have already achieved for keeping in every respect a first-class Stock. And we have decided to clear out all heavy Good5, they are to be sold, and we know the only way to make quick and rapid work is to make a price low enough and the public will respond. We have had a successful year's business and we intend to make a clear and thorough sweep of all Winter Goods on hand. Remember the first comes secures the best selection, and such inducements as we will now offer happen but a few times in any person's experience. We never make any promises that we do not fulfill, the verifications of these facts can be seen on our tables.

CLOSING SALE OF FALL AND WINTER OaDtfEniinD (DlaDttDnfinn Fresh Signs of Prosperity in France. Baltimore Sun. In spite of all the drawbacks, France is one of the thriftiest and most pros perous btates in Jburope. Perhaps we ought to say the most prosperous of any. She not only carries easily the burden of her five milliards of francs of war debt, but by wise financiering did not find it necessary, in the midst of her worst storm and strees, to sus pend specie payments. This, too, not withstanding the serious loss she sus tained in the wresting from her by the German victor of her two fine provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. But the best evidence of her recuperative power is the remarkable series of works of in ternal improvement she is now about to undertake. The plan which has been adopted by the government compre hends a complete network and close union of canals and railways covering all parts of France. To effect this, other canals and railroads are to be constructed that will add 16,000 miles to her existing system of railways and 900 miles to her rivers and canals. The London Capital and Labor, a recog nized authority on such subjects, states that "rumor is already busy with the names of English firms about to enter into contracts with the French govern ment, and expresses the further opin ion that by the prosecution or these great works of internal improvement, the iron and steel trades in the United States and Belgium will also be benefit The Rights of Wives. New York Herald. While legislators are trying to de termine the exact status that woman should occupy as a property holder, they should not neglect to protect the sex in the right to maintain life in spite of brutal husbands. A day or two ago a burly brute was brought into a police court, charged with having beat en his wife with a chair which inflicted two deep cuts on her head, pounding her with his fists until she fell exhaust ed, and kicking her about the head and body with his heavy boots. For all of this brutality, which might have re sulted in death to the helpless victim, the sentence, which was made as se vere as the law would allow, was six months in the workhouse. A more ri diculous travesty of justice can hardly be imagined. Reluctant as courts and legislators are to come between hus band and wife in marital difficulties, such exceptions should be made as will as sure married women of their lives by providing severe penalties for the brutes who maltreat the wives whom they have vowed to love, cherish and protect. For less cruelty to an animal than was inflicted upon Mary McDon ald by her busband a man may receive a sentence as heavy as McDonald's. Murder of a Family by Masked Men. Ltjcan, Ont., February 4. About 12 o'clock last night a party of men with blacked and masked faces entered the dwelling of the somewhat notorious Donnelly family and murdered the father, mother, son and a niece. A small bov named Connor took refuge under ,a bed and escaped unhurt The partv then set fire to the house, which. together with the bodies of the mur dered inmates, was totally consumed. Another son, residing about three miles from the homestead, was called to his door about the same hour and was shot deal. The township is wild with ex citement. GREAT ATTRACTIONS IN FINE SUITS.
