The following beautiful litue gem was found on the back of an old brief in a law office. The handwriting is peculiar, but easily recognized, It is not known whether the poem is original or who is the author. Tb e cold cast-steel logic and close reasoning of the brief constrasU strangely with the tender pathos and beautiful sentiments of the poem : " Tell me, my secret soul, O tell mo, Hope and Faith, Is there no resting place From sorrow, sin and death ? Is there no happy spot Where mortals may be blest, Where grief may Unit balm. And weariness a rest?

Buck Thrash tells us of a splendid fox race on the mountains of Lower Hominy during the recent heavy . snow. A red fox was started at 8 a. m. and run until 1J at night in snow - ranging from 20 to 30 inches in depth, when he was finally caught; the direct line he made having been 17 miles, but this distance was probably doubled a dozen times. Only three dogs that started in the race remained to the close. Capt. Thtatfe challenges the county for a better race. Health is impossible when the blood is impure, thick' and sluggish, or when it is thin and impoverished. Under such conditions, boils, pimples, headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism, and one disease after another is developed.

An Ashevillo dispatch thus explains 8n organization in our midst, to which relerence has already been made : ' "A land and labor club profess in 2 the principles advocated by Henry George has been formed in this city by iLocke Craig and others. It is organized under the auspices of the central committee in New York of which John McMackin is chairman and Gaybert Barnes, secretary. The Asheville club is designated in the party as Land and Labor Club No. 1 of the State ot North Carolina. It is the inauguration of the Henry George movement in this State." -' The Mendelssohn Quintette Club. This club will make its first appearance here to-morrow night, and we are pleas ed to know that the prospect, is there will be a splendid attendance a large majority of the reserve seats have already been taken. This company has won the highest commendation wherever it has appeared. The Rome Sentinel says of it : "A his musiciai organization is one of the oldest and best in the country. The only present member who was one of the founders is Thomas Ryan, lheir music last evening delighted the audience, and each number was accorded liberal applause. As a club, their playing was1 almost perfect, every passage and every note being carefully anddelicately execu ted. The harmony produced bv the in struments was excellent. Of Miss Alice Ryan nothing but good can be said. Al though her voice is not of the strongest, it is sweet and clear. Her rendition of Lotti's "Bocca, Bocca, Bella," an Italian air, written about the year 1700, was artistic. Her voice is very flexible, and : she has it under perfect control. Miss Ryan was rapturously applauded, and responded to an encore with "I've been Roaming," by Charles E. Horn. The concert was one of the most enjoyable ever heard here." The .

This created quite a discussion. Mr. Lyon moved to lay it on tne table. L-oet. am passed second and third readings. Mr. York's resolution, looking to the development of our infant industries in mis ana other Mates ot the South, was taken upas the special order. This is Mr. York's protective tariff resolution Mr. Lcazar offered the followina amendment as a substitute : Resolved by the House of Representa tives, the Senate concurring, Sec. I. That our Senators in Congress be instructed. ana our representatives be requested to use their best euorts to secure a reduc tion of the tariff law to the point of a constitutional revenue, sufficient only for an economical administration of the government, believing that the inciden tial protection afforded by such a tariff would be amply Giithcient to promote the healthy growth of all legitimate in dustries. Sec. 2. That a copy of these resolutions De sent to each o: our Senators and Rep rescntatives in Congress. Mr. York, rep., said he introduced his resolution in cood faith, that the South had started upon a new road to llevelope ner industrial industries and that many thousand Northern rarjiialiate 4rers in Testing in Southern enterprises. We have the best of water power, timbers and all other natural advantages, not having to stop our lactones on account of cold weather, and he predicted "that North Carolina would soon be the most prosper ous State in the Union. He proposed to help these industrial enterprises and hoped the resolution would pass. The discussion continued on this bill continued at some length, participated in by Messrs.. Leazar, Worth, Turner, Holt, Overman, Brogden, York and Pearson, and the amendment of Mr. Leazer was finally adopted by a vote of 34 to 51. During the debate the follow ing spat took i lace, as reported by the JSewt-Vbserver : - Mr. Overman, dem., knew little of the tariff and thought that Mr. York knew no more, but he should have learned a lesson from his experience of two years ago, when he canvassed the whole state! on similar issues and was "sat down upon" by 20,000' majority. They were UVb ODUK UCIO kVUlObUiM uauuni lunvbcto, such as tarif, revenue, dec., and protested against wasting more time in such dis cussions; thought that Mr. York had, ac cording to his arguments yesterday, gone back on his principles in voting for Mr. Webster for speaker after that gentleman had declared himself to be a democrat. Mr. York, re 3 , said that the cause of hs having been "sat down upon" was not the questions referred to, but on ac count of the miserable democratic elec tion laws. He had received more votes than either Jarvis or Barton, and the county canvassing boards were where the trouble was, and the election laws should be changed. He had voted for Mr. Webster knowing him to be a patri otic gentlemen, who respected the will of the people and one who would do jus tice to all men. He denounced the dem ocratic party for endorsing Mr. Reid, saying they well knew of his inconsis tencies and evil - doings, we liked Air. Overman personally, but thought he was a little "piqued" on his failure to get the speakership. - 'j"1' Mr. Overman said he would much rather stand endorsed by his party ' than to have the speakership a hundred times over. He was endorsed by his party now, was proud of it and would not oc cupy the position, it having been gotten Dy a trade Detween mugwumps, muepen dents and republicans. . - The chair made statement saying that there bad been no trade with the repub licans by which he held his position. That the independents had held a con sultation and appointed a committee to confer with both parties. That he had said at the time that he would vote for Messrs. Bnrkhead. Brown and Julian, ! democrats, and had done so, and that the question was exceedingly distasteful. Mr. Holt, tnougnc mat tne action oi tne House in the way thev transacted busi ness was a diserace and the taxpayers should rise up and expel the last one of them if they didn't quit so much wrang ling. - : FRIDA Y'S PROCEEDINGS. ,. ...' -.-Stoats ' .- Mr. Edps introduced a bill to repeal the merchant's tax.

Mrs. Annie Eliza Jones, aged twenty- wwo years iuiu luur mouins. int aeatn or this very dear young wife and young lady was very sudden, being caused, as stated byherpbyiclan, by paralysis ot the heart. Annie E. Briltain was married to M . G. Jones, of Buncombe county, by the writer Oct. 26, 1881. Annie embraced religion at Shaw's Creek campmeeting when about il years old She was a member of the M. E. church at Mills River Chapel. There her burial took place and her funeral was preached by the writer on the third day after her death, in the presence of man) mourning, grief-stricken rela tions and friends. There in a beautiful caeket sleeps the body of Annie E. Jones, lovely in life, lovely even in the coldness of death. On the day of her death about the middle of the afternoon, she called for her mother and her aunt, and said, '-Aunt Puss, I am going to die and go to heaven." Then she exclaimed "Blessed Jesus !" Her husband was hastily sent for, at her earnest request, who when he reached her bedside bent over her dying form in deepest dis tress. She expressed the greatest afTection for him and soon fell asleep, as much was thus ex pressed in Annie's death as if she had said "The Master is come aud calleih for me." All of the shoit life of this dear departed woman was a Drishtand shining oni. hiulnpvou tnrcAiich childhood,, girlhood. Into woiunhood, until called to awake in the likeness of Him who re deemed tier and washed ter Irom her sins in His own blood, i rom a child, her mother told mc she had kneeled at her bedside and played be- tore going to bed at night. - By her acquaintances, yo ng and old, she was greatly loved By all her relations she was loved almost to Idolatry, and yet she was not spoiled. Thus paainc through me waters Jesus was with her, and paging through the deep River, the ev erlasting arms of Him who loved her were be neath her. The waters did not overflow her. There she has gone to the Mount Zion, the Heav enly Jerusalem, the innumerable company of angels, and the spirits ot just men made perfect. In the naradise of God she shall see the Kiner in all His bea-ity, and see the tiee of life and eat of me ever-npening iruits thereof. There she wears a white robe and a golden crown : there in that far-away. happy country, far from this world of Firne, sne snail see no more sorrow, aillictlon, pain or death ; there all tears are wiped dway trom every eye. btrange, seemingly dark and mysterious, are tne ways of Providence, we know. but only in part.

And the great ages onward roll." Finally, shall they, fond mother, erief-stricken husband, dear uncles, aunts and friends ever see, ever meet, that dear, departed one again T ica. "That each whe seems a separate whole. Should move his rounds and luseing nil The skirts of self again should fall. Re-emerging in the general soul." " "Eternal form shall still divide. The eternal from all beside. And I shall know her when we meet." Jan. 11, 1887. J. F. Woodfin. The U. S. Senate Committee on Lustnct oi iOiumbia has againwrev jected the nomination of J. C.
