SUNDAY. MAY 8 1881.
BOWREAHOIfB GOT HIS START.
Very many , 6i the mei prdipfrient
in business or in politics in this coun
try at theesen jday are : of hum
ble origin, and are known as "self made
men" whateyerhaihrasempans. But,
not one amomirthe dumber started from
a lower rounu ul mo muuu ku
Mahone, who now sitff in the IJnited
Spates Senate and by bis vote decides
for or against either of the contesting
parties as he lists.
He was born in Jerusalem, the coun
ty seat of Southampton county, Va.,
and spent his boyhood there. His fath
er kept an' ordinary, and among his pa
trons were horse and mule traders
who stalled their stock in his stables.
The boy, Billy, looked after the stock.
The old man excelled in two things ; in
punishing frequent toddies, and in play
ing a right cleyer game of seven up.
Billy had not teen an uninterested ob
server of passing events, and managed
to And time from his occupation at the
barn to master the mysteries of "high,
low, jack and the game," and shuffle and
deal with a grace and dexterity that a
master of the profession might be proud
of.
" On one occasion, when he was a mere
boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, a
horse trader come along and put up at
his father's house. Billy extended the
hospitalities of the stable to the horses
and mules and ' the old gentleman ex
tended the hospitalities of the house to
man.
After supper a little game of seven
up was suggested, which was mutually
agreeable to Mahone, Sr., and the horse
man. As the game, progressed the old
gentleman got thif sty and continued to
get thirsty and &e toddies disappeared
and continued to -disappear, as did also
the old man's money, the horse man re-
maing as sober as Neal Dow, and at
tending strictly to business. Frequent
libations made the old gentleman
drowsy, and he was beginning to yawn
terribly when his promising heir put in
an appearance to watch the progress of
the game as he was in the habit of do-
ins on such interesting occasions. The
old man handed his cards to Billy and
told him to play the hand, and then laid
down to take a nap, intending when he
woke up to give his antagonist another
rub. The old gentleman slept and con
tinued to sleep, Billy and his man play
ed and continued to play. The thing
was interesting. But Mahone, Sr.. slept
on utterly oblivious of hof his hopeful
was scoring "high, low, Sack and the
game" to the utter consternation of
that horse man.
Towards morning he woke and when
he did Billy had won all the money the
old gent had lost, and with it all the
money, horses and mules the horse man
had and was then playing for the dar
key driver that accompanied the tra
der and in a fair way of winning him
had not the old gentleman interrupted
the game, to the great disgust of Bil
ly and the relief hi3 antagonist,
Billy had pocketed the lucre, but he
could not pocket the horses nor mules.
which request was respectfully declin
ed. The old gentleman claimed paren
tal proprietorship of the winnings,
which Billy claimed to haye an undi
vided interest in. Protests were un- j
availing, parental authority ignored.
In reply to the old man's demands he
said ;:;?I, have, been asking you for a
long time to send me to the Military
Institute, and you would not do it
Now I've got the money to pay my way
and lam going. I won it; it is my
money, and I am going to spend it for
that purpose." And he did. He at
once entered Lexington Military Insti
tute, where he studied hard and grad
uated second in mathematics, tactics
and engineering.but was deficient in the
languages, rheteric, &c, for which
he did not seem to have much taste.
He adopted the profession of civil en
gineer in which he rose rapidly till he
became president of the Petersburg &
Norfolk Railroad, which position he
occupied when he entered the army of
the Confederacy as colonel of a "Virginia
regiment His subsequent career is
known tq the readers of history.
BRIBING THE PRESS.
Messrs. J, B. Brown & Co., liquor
dealers o .Baltimore, recently sent a
circular to certain papers in this State
indicating a willingness to assist such
of them as would oppose the prohibi
tion movement Among these was the
Goldsboro Messenger, the subscription
list of which they agreed to increase
200 or 800 if it would publish anti-prohibition
articles. The editor of the
Messenger turned the proposition over
to the editor of the Christian Advocate,
for dissection.
The firm if J. B. Brown & Co, object
ed to this modeof treating their pro
position, and have written the editor
of the Messenger a fetter, in which they
unaertaxe 10 justify tnemselves in thus

CoL J. P. Thomas and Hazell Thomas
have been appointed agents for the
sale of Jeff Davis: great 'fn1cfrpi.
Bise and Fall of Hlxe Southern Oonf ed4
racy," in Charlotte: andiMeehlenburg
county, out "ic is us-eiy tnai imtuiiuiiiu
territory will be assigned them. , A
large number of subscriptions have al
ready been made in Charlotte. Messrs.
Thomas & Co. haye arranged for a
thorough canvass of. the county, and we
are ; toldtbataearly ? everybodyap
proached . subsQribes. Althougn we j
haytf nolseen the bookit is understood!
that Mr Davis "vindicates eyery man,
woman or child? who sympathized with
ihe "Lost Cause," and his testimony,
goes on recora as an argument xo con
vince the world -that tne people ot tne
Southern States, are not a nation of
traitors. It is too late now to discuss
the question as to whether secession
per se was gghfof Wfyng. That deci
sion was leftto the solemn arbitrament
of the sword, and the final determina
tion of the tribunal was that it ,was
impracticable to say the . least, but
while we bow in humble submission to
the will of this great American nation,
as thus expressed and In our heart of
hearts admit that perhaps after all It; is
best as it is, we cannot but recall the
words of Moore when he said : '
Rebellion I toul dishonoring word -Whose
wrongful blight so oft has stained '
The holiest cause that tongue or sword
Of mortal erer lest or gained! - -How
many a spirit born to bless.
Has sank beneath that withering name,
Which bat a day's, an hour's success
Had wafted to eternal fame."
Revolution a failure is rebellion;
revolution a success is patriotism.
Ours was the former because ultimate
success did not emblazon our banners,
and because we cannot afford to go
down to posterity as a nation of unde
fended rebels, is one of the reasons
why a book like that of Jeff Davis
should be found in every library in the
land.
When in the fulness of time the true
history of the contest shall be written,
the impartial historian will accord as
much bravery, as much justice and as
much honor on the one side as the
other, and when once the manhood and
the patriotism jf the two sections are
united, he will claim for the American
people the grand and distinguished
honor, of being the grandest and most
distinguished among the peoples of this
earth.
FIL.TII1T CHICAGO,
The sanitary condition of Chicago.
Bis., is bafl, and the death rate greater
han at any time in many years past.
The mortality among children is fright-
ul, while grown people are dying from
ung and Dowel complaints in every
part of the city. The water is polluted,
not fit to drink, and the city is disgust
ingly filthy, if we may believe what the
Chicago papers' say about it
The Reidsville Times quotes ex-Gov.
Reid as saying: "The Jews won't eat
hog meat; but I should hate for the
Jews to say that I shan't eat it" If
eating hog meat did one half the harm
and made people play the strange an-
ics that whiskey does, there might be
some parity between the cases. If hog
meat wrought as much trouble to man
kind as whiskey does, we hardly think
he ex-Governor would be much of a
pork eater.
Mayor Shakespeare, of New Orleans,
ha3 compromised with the gambling
houses, and will let them pursue their
innocent calling on condition that they
make an annual donation to the city,
not as a tax, however, but simply as a
donation. The mayor, probably, is fond
of a little game of draw, eta, occasion
ally.
A Federal judge in Arkansas has
recently rendered a decision which
makes the Indians the exclusive pro
prietors of the Indian Territory under
the existing treaties with the govern
ment, and says no man has a right to
settle thereon without the consent of
he Indians.
It is all very nice to set on kingly
thrones, Sec., but when they begin to
hrow bombs promiscuous like, as the
Nihilists do, it takes some of the ro
mance out of it.
The hitch between Garfield and Conk
ling gave rise to the' question frequent-
y asked, "Who is President ?" It now
begins to look as if Garfield or Blaine
was.

A $11,000,000 mortgage on the Nor
folk and Western Railroad, was re
corded in Norfolk, Va., Wednesday.
The State got $11,000 tax, in coupons,

The proposed world's fair at New
York in 1883 is a failnre, and has been

Greensboro, May 7. The board of
county commissioners to-day, after
hearing counsel on both sides, declined
to grant any further license for the
sale of. spirituous liquors in Guilford
county. This makes Greensboro, as
well as Guilford county, "dry" beyond
question.
