THE NORTH JLisD W-LSl. ., Cliarlotte, ' W. C, Tan CUden & Gash "TKUTa. TBS SUV, SOStKTISEES SUBMITS TO K CSSCCSSa,: BUT- IXKB THE SUN, OXLY F03 A IC3." ' ' Datzola and Tx-cs,; Chlca Eeraldr - , Profiting by the ma mff st drift of public sentiment, the men who are to be the master spirit8 of the North Dakota Convention soon to be held, are aid to contemplate making a re quest fortbe admission' of the fcerris tory as a whole, v Such a movement would be modest and sensible, and it is probable that, it would be eidorA?d by Congress without much difficulty. Tne effort on the part - of amtitiouu politicians and ' capital site specula tors of South ..Dakota to create two States out of a Territory which wiii not be , widely recognized as entitled to admission at all. has been counte nanced in some quarters because it promised, if successful, .to give; the itepubhean party control of the Sen. ate forever, but a similar movement on the part of Democratic politicians would make the country stand aghast When Texas came into the Union it was a sovereign r republic. . It had won its own independence and it is the only one of the States 1 which ac-r tually exercised -sovereignty before joiniiig the Union. It came in of it& own' accord, but ; on certain condi tions which were acceded to by the Federal Government. One of these was that when .the people of Texas should so desire it should be divided into four States, each having an equal footing - with' all the others. v That compact still exists, and is morally binding on the National Government; The . division 'of- Dakota into two States would k give-the Republicans four new Senator s ? The division of Texas intof our States would give the Democrats six new Senators, in ad dition to the" two 'which they already have from that Stated! How would: the Republicans relish a proposition to divide Texas according to the bond, without the admission ot lJakota ? According to the census of 188C the population of Texas was ' 1,590, - 000; and that ol Dakota 135,000 Both hare grown" amazingly in the last five years, and it is probably ho ex aggeration' to say that Texas now hasVnore than 2,000,000 and Dakota more than 500,000 inhabitants: In area Texas has 262,000 square miles, while Dakota : has nust - 147,000. Di viding the area of Texas as proposed, would give four y tales ; with 65, 500 square miles each, and an 'average population of more than 500,000. Di viding the area of Dakota, as the politicians, insist upon, and '. there would be two States haying 73,500 square miles each, and an average population of about 250,000. Either one of these States, would be larger than New,. York, .Pennsylvania or Illinois, but in population there would be a marked disparity,' pars ticularly so far as North and South Dakota" are concerned. . -.'. It will be seen, therefore, that ' in view of all the facts, the proposition emanating from the political ' immi grants in South Dakota is a very im pud en t one. . - Dakota, coming into the United States with the 'Louisiana ; purchase, witn 1.50U.0UU less - inhabitants than Texas and within area less by 115,000 square miles, enough to make three such States as New York, cuts a sorry figure demanding as a "right" twice the power in the senate wnicn Texas enjoys, while the latter makes no move to increase its importance, as it might, do under the original agreement of union. . 1 The Indestructibility of Gold. ' Sir Henry VWan. ' ' 1 ) Gold may be said to be everlasting, indestructible. The pure acids have no effect upon it. Air and water are alike prohibited from working; its destruction ; ) while to baser ; metals they are decay, to goia tney are in nocuous.! Bury it through long years and when the ruae tool of the excas vator again brings it to light, while everything around it has returned to dust from which it sprang; while the delicate form which is adorned has become a powder so impalpable as to be inappreciable ; ; while the strong bone of the mighty warrior crumbles as you gaze upon it ; while the trusty sword lies a mass of ' shale rust, the delicate tracery in gold which adorns ed it, or; the finely wrought tiara which encircled the loftybrow of. the fair damsel, is there in its : pristine beauty; perfect as when it' left the workman's hands and became the iov of her' fleeting ' moments. Yes. days, years,, centuries have rolled bv : mighty empires haveCnsen and fallen dynasties that dreamed their power to be everlasting have passed away ; .armies have , marched, ! con quered and become nerveless -with decrepit old age ; cities teeming with copulation ana commerce have be come. the dwelling place ot -; the owl and the bat; the very pyramids themselves, laised in the r, pride of power and : destined to be forever, have crumbled and " are crumbling. and yet the thin filament of gold has stood unchanged. " A Wonderful Frealc of Ralure la something exhibited to. our public exhibitions, When we gaze upoa some of the peculiar Ireaks dame nature occasionally indaigea la, our minds reveitback to thecreation of man, "who.la so fe&rtully and wonderfully made."

U Many cus rious happenings 4 have grown out of the arrest,-, trial . and xnviction of Thomas Ji Cluverius for the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, v The r porter who fprmulated the' murder theory, has been discharged from the paper to which he was attached; the commonwealth's attorney,1 who pros tcuted Cluvenus,! did notreceive;a cent for his labor, and in his success f ul efforts to secure the - detective in the case his fee he has- been worried and: vexed more than he was during the' trial; the stenographer, , who worked 24 days,; has not received a cent and is not likely; ; -toy- and last; the principal witness in. the case is deaci; He it was who found the torn note. - v :- j ? All this while Cluverius sits serene ly in his cell, ; There is a bill before the Legislature to pay the ; detective and stenographer. . Their claims are also before the City Council, but it is by no means' probable that either body; will pay. - The Legislature is trying to avoid the - payment - of the debt whichthe ; courts decided that the State of Virginia, owes the Ken dall Bank Note Company,; , of New York,- for printing the Riddleberger repudiation v bonds. This-; does not look much like paying 'claims like those of the detective and stenoV grapher in the Cluverius case. . ; v .- . . . ' J- -!.! , . ' ' ' Death' of ffahum Capen. ' The venerable. Nahum Capen, LL. Df "who was postmaster of Boston under President; Buchanan, ' died Sat urday; in the eighty second year of his age. having been born" in canton, Mass., on April 1, 1804 -When twen ty, years of age he became a member of the publishing firm 6f Capen & Lyons of Boston' : He was an author as well as a publishes, and during his whole lifetime he kept his penem-. ployed, and he was engaged in the last portion or nis me in tne comple tion of ."The History of Democracy," a work projected years ago; and m . tended to comprise three volumes, but which is, to included four. He was among the first to memorialize Congress on the subject of interna tional copyright, ana A "letter of his published by the United ' States Sen ate led to the organization of the cen 8us bureau at Washington, c Mr. Ca pen was ah honored member of the Masonic if ratenity, vihto which ; he wad received under.very peculiar ciin cumstances, at the time.- of the Mor gah excitement in 1826 or. ?27 Mr. Capen was asked to' publish "the se crets of . f reemasonry, r ana , was promised large profits': if he would consent to give the- work the influs ence of his firm.and take measures to insure it an extensive v circulation. He prevailed ' on the applicant to abandon his purpose, as it was, in his opinion a wicked '- one, and though not himself a Mason, - he reasoned with the would-be apostate until the latter confessed his fault td the Grand Lodge,' and submitted himself to its judgment, s (Mr Capen had intended to become a Mason, and his action in this matter was recognized by; the adoption of resolutions of thanks by the ; Grand Lodge: He ; became a member of the Columbian - Lodge on September 6, 1827. He s was . corre sponding secretary of - the .Grand Lodge from 1833, to 1840, and in 1837 while holding that office, he " visited Europe and; officials communicated with the Grand Lodge .of England. He received the degree of LL. D. , from the Washington and iLee TJnis versity, of Virginia, in 1874. . , V ' 1 ' ' " v -v: A Confederate, Giant's Sword. Washington Hatchet. ' r Among the records of the late war sto wed away in the United States Ordnance Museum, -on Seventeenth street, is a sabre fully five feet long, which was found on the battlefield of Manassas. This formidable looks ing w eapon was evidently made in some village blacksmith's shop, from the fabled plowshare; at the outbreak of the war, and its handle appears to have been fcarved with a jack-knife from a cow's horn. A Virginian who visited the museum recently recog nized the sabre as one that had been used by a giant Virginia cavalryman in aJeb" Stuart's command. "The cavalryman . in question,'' said , the Virginian to the Hatchet reporter. was nearly seven feet high and broad in proportion. He had that big sabre made by a cross-roads horseshoer, and promised to hew his way through the Yankee lines with it and enter Washington ; but, poor fellow, he was shot at Manassas be fore hecoull carry out his rash puis pose." , , ' Skin if iseases Cured ' By Dr. Frazler's Magic Ointment.
