' '"' Written toe The Observer. I remember that, the first election t- after the civff war Which was held in Nortli Carolina was in 187. I 'op posed la my simplicity that I could vote; 1 waa over 21, ha.d never held any civil office, had never been coiv victed of any crime against the State, consequently I applied for a ballot to vote, when ' the chairman of the .....t... oAmmitfM (composed of two white men and one negro) read the oath whjch waa nearly half a yard Jon to me. , which 1 had no difficulty In swallowinu till he got near the middle. wh-n h.- came to these words: 'You further swear v that at no time were you evor en- gaged in war aKainiet the I nited Platen.". At thin point 1 said: "Hold up. 'Squire. I did the best I could to achieve the Independence of the Confederate SUteo." Here I was told to stand aside. Every white; man who was permitted to vote then had to acknowledtce himself a traitor - ' to the State. Yet some were base enough to sell out their manhood for km in, or to set in tlx- good Krae-e-s of the Republican party! MV had S7 negroes elected to the- KeRlslature of North Carolina, and every otlur Southern State was rqually oppresc-d How a Southern gentleman could square this sort of government with what his parents were used to i something 1 cannot understand. This election was continued for three consecutive days, the com mittee carrying the ballot boxes home with them at nlfcht and bring ing them back next morning This maneuvre was gone through with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and thus they had three nights In which to count the ballots and fix them to their notion: Hnd then they aent the ballots to Charleston, 8 'to be recounted by tieneral e'anhy, who was In command of the two irrovlnfes of North and South Cam- j lina. Then tteneral Canby, after fingering In the ballots an long as ho wanted, would annourue who was elected by thr voters of North raro- ; Jlna! Strange that some few of ourj men of prominence forgot their parentage, forgot thejr country, for- got th part they ai led In the Con federacy and took udoc with tnoxe who conspired hkmIio-I all that dear to US! These . some of the . things that I do not understand The legislature a-, milled soon afterwards, composed "f very few native North Carolinians who were respected by the honest men at thefr homes: quite a large number of Yankee camp-followers and scala wags, with 2 7 negroes, the most of ' whom could not read, write or tell Who their fathers were The princi pal thing they were taiutht to ilu was to vote the ItadUal tukit. In this law-making body they were not ex pected to consume much time In speech-making, they were only ex pected to vote, and for this they were paid $7 a duy; and to prove they were not stingy of their valuable time, they gave cheerfully :!00 days' out of the year They were a daisy set' You will feel like asking where the money was to come from to defray this expensive legislature. That Is easily answered. Whenever a con siderable sum of money was railed fori a railroad would be chartered, bonds by tlx- million would he Issued 1o build the road, and then sold for what they would bring This carni val of crime; was kept up until a debt was incurred of MO.OOO.oOo Such scenes of debauchery, drunkenness and shame were committed that I have no doubt It would have been enough to rjiake the Inhabitants of Solium ashamed of themselves. The great majority of the legis lators at that period were the very ofTscourltiR of the I'niteel State. A large sprinkling of that body was Northern people, who were hunting something to lck up I heard one fellow (and, by the Wiiy, he claimed to be a preacher), who was so re cently from the North that when he - ... Commenced his speech he used the follow ln words: "f lentlemen and fellow citizens- I appear before you to ask your suffrages for a Heat In the legislature of New York." This occurred at Hicks' .-tore, cm the Jteattlo's Korcl road, fifteen miles jrom t'hariotie a very outspoken man In the neighborhood said to Minn Katie Garrett and Messrs. Tom this foreign speaker.

In the depth of the vale make his tomb hid arise A gray mountain of marble, heaped four- seiuare. till built to the skies. Let It murk where the great First King slumbers: whos fame would eye know? -ItOEKRT BROWNING. Tlie Philistines had- mobilized a great army. Its equipment was the best the age; and the Grecian forges could turn out. Homer has made us familiar with the weapons then Jn use. Kach soldier was a moving for tress of brass, with his coat of mall, shield, helmet and greaves. His offen sive weapons were as good as his de fensive spear, lance, sword, and ar miv The h s zen chariots with their scythed wheels corresponded In ef- fectlveness to the artillery oi nmui-ui times. Besides complete equipment, the Invaders were -encouraged by the knowledge of the rapidly waning pres tige of SauI and the serious defection to David. I'nder ordinary circumstances the historic, associations of the place ought to have inspired tne highest en thusiasm among the Israelites. Here Deborah and Barak had defeated Slsera. and Gideon had led his Spar tan three hundred. Again this was no unjustifiable Invasion for booty or ter ritory on the part of Israel, but a -defense of home against the invader. Hut nothing could offset the paralyz ing effect of the king's melancholy. Saul was a Hebrew Richard III: He could hear only those fateful words, "Despair and die!" Having no further access to God, Saul iiad. the night before the battle, resorted to one of those base crea tures whom In "nis betler days he had sought to rid the nation of, so desper ate was he to know the particulars of his fate. The spectral words uttered In the cave at Endor sat heavy on his soul when the battle began, and they hasi an early and bloody fulfillment. The hopefulness of the commander In subtle manner communicated Itself to his forces, and the defeat was ons of the most complete and overwhelming Israel ever suffered. The first Jewish dynasty was extinguished In blood on Mt. Gilboa that day. "Crownless. breathless, headless fall i;.n and sire, the house of Saul!" Two shafts of light fell across the midnight gloom of defeat and death. Saul's mllit-iry career began with ths daring and courageous relief of a city of Manasseh. As if In recompense of that deed, the men of Jabesh-Gllead, at their own peril, took down the bodies of Saul and his son from the walls of Bethshan where the enemy had exposed them, and gave them burial. , The other illuminating ray Is Da vid's lament for. Saul and Jonathan, called the "Song of tho Bow," and un surpassed by elegies of modern times. The physical beauty , of the dead is pictured- silence concerning- their fall is enjoined le the unclrcuraclsed tri umph; "the profanation of the dead is deprecated; the courage of both is applauded- Jonathan's bow could not be turned back, and Saul's sword re turned out empty: they were swifter than eagles and stronger than lions.

Mr. Sargent was a native of Raet Orange, Vt. He worked for a while in New England mills aind then be cause of Impaired hearth went tc Arizona, where as a tTnlted 8tat4 cavalryman he participated in the Apuche Ind!n campaign and later began his labor career as an engine wiper on the Southern Pacific Rail way. Foe Ave years he fired engines on that system. In 1885 he began his tenure of office a.s head of the order of locomotive firemen. He exerted every effort toward NrvoMance or strikes .nd won the confidence of both the railroad officials and the 'mem bers of his own organisation. fS.S generous re- Ideal mon arch. The picture of what Saul ought to have been only makes what ho was more conspicuous and repulsive. The witch scene shows the pitiful extremity of Saul's fortunes as noth ing else could. So evident was his doom that an Ignorant woman could tell him what It was to-be. So dis traught was the king that he did not detect the ventriloquist trick and the hocus-pocus of the braxier and smoke. The advance of civilization nowhere Is more evident than In the humane treatment of prisoners of war." In early days they were made the butt of public ridicule before physical In dignities were done to them. Thus Cleopatra deprecates being shown In Rome, where "scald rhymers would ballad her out o' tune" and "quick comedians extamporally stage her." This was insupportable to Saul's proud spirit Robert Browning describes Saul's boyhood as one of wonder and hope present promise and wealth of future beyond the eye's scope. When he came to the throne, all gifts which, the world offers singly on one head were combined. ' High ambttlon ind lieed which surpass it fame crowning them sll Brought to blaze on the head of one creature King Saul. The Book of Proverbs presents the counterpart to this rn Its portraiture of his graceful and hopeless end. He had disdained the entreaties of wis dom and would none of her reproof. So she In turn laughs at his calamity and mocks his fear. To his belated call she makes no answer. He must eat the fruit of his way and be filled with his own devices. Jonathan Is a synonym of friend ship. His love rises like a white cameo on the inky base of Saul's hatred. The nature, use and value of friendship has no finer Illustration. THE DEATH RECORD. Mrs. T.
