And she flings wan light "irem her -garments white, On the sleeping world beneath, Sho spreads on her course, on her black sky horse, (And swilt we chargtr's ftet.) Peering through rifts in the cloudy drifts, Or plunging 'mid the shadows deep, Then over the cloud?, and the misty 6hroude, Which the silent mountains wrap, Like a ghost that ilectb, whom no man seeth, She is lost on htr silvery track. HE Sl'EAKS FOR THE TOOK. The Heart ofGrover Cleveland Beats in Sympathy vltli;tlie Wage-Earners, and His care is for tlisir Relief and Progress. "It may be -well doubted, says Macauley, "whether all the misery that had been inflicted on the jti gHsh Nation in a quarter ol a cen tury by bad Kings, bud Ministers, bad Parliaments and bad Judges, was equal to the misery caused in a siiile year by bad crowns aud bad shillings. While the honor and independence cf the State were sold to a foreign power, while chartered fights were disregarded, while fundamental Jaws were violated, hundreds of thousands of quiet, honest aud industrious families labored and traded, ate their meals and lay down to rest in com fort aud security. But when the great instiumtnfc of exchange becaue thoroughly de ranged, all trades, all industry were smitten as with a palsy. lhe evil was felt daily and hourly in almos eerv place aLd by almost every class, in the dairv and on the thresh- ino- floor, by the anvil and the loom Nothing could be purchased with out a dispute. Over every counter there was wrangling from morning till nisrht. The workman aud his employer had a quarrel as regularly as Saturday came round. The simnle and the careless were pillaged without mercy." Alread we are beginning to see, to feel, something ot this among our Belves. And who are the sufferers ? The millionaire? The capitalist? The corporate bodies? No, indeed; but the workers, worn and dust begrimed yea, and the well-to-do, but overtaxed, farmer, who has ev erything he has to sell priced under the single golden standard in a Free Trade market, from which, as a buyer, he is shut out by the Pro tective Tarilf conctituting the bone and sinew of the land. For these Mr. Cleveland speaks, and when they hear him they can not fail to be moved and touched to see it demon strated with so much simple elo quence and truth that the wage earner has to rely for employment upon "the ventures of confident and contented capital;" that in times of disturbance the capitalist may protect himself by hoarding his means for profitable use when op portunity offers, but that the wage earner "can not hoard his labor" without starying; that the capitalist "may even find profit in the fluctua tiouof values," but that the labor ing man, "the first to be injured by a depreciated currency and the last to receive the benefit of its correct tion, is practically defenceless." These are wise word .They are true works. They are brave words All honor to the President, who has put them with so much genuine elo quence and power. DEATH OP MISS DUSENBUEY- The Postmistress at Concord Dies After a Brief Illness. Mies Mary Dusenbury, postmis tress at Concord, died at ten minu tes after ten o'clock Tueeday morn ing, August 22nd. She bad beeu tuck iust'a week, Mies Dosenbuty was about 50 years ot age and was a daughter of the late Admiral Dusenbury, who died just before the outbreak of the late war. The death of Mies Dusenbury necessarily recalls incidents in her career as an official. She waB ap pointed postmistress at Concord on December 26, 1873, by President Grant. She was successively re appointed by Presidents Hayee, Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison, One of Harrison s last omcial acts in February, was to send her re appointment to the Senate, but -V ? AI that Doay a;a not act npon it. though Senators Hansom and Vance and Representatives Hen derson and Alexander had united in an effort to have her rem ved. President Cleveland had taken no action in the matter and there was no indication that he intended to do so in the near future. Mr. John B. Shernll has been recommended for her successor, and by her death bis appointment can donbt'ess be considered a certainty. THE WILSON BILL. The silver monomaniacs are in dined to make something of a bug" aboo out of the Wilson repeal bill, no1 pending m congress. That the public may know exactly what the bill is and what it is intended to do, we reproduce it herewith in full: 4To repeal a part of an act ap proved July 13, 1890, entitled 'An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and the issue of treasury notes thereon, and for ether pur poses. "He it enacted, etc., that so rnucti of the act approved July 14th, 1S90, eutitled, 'An act directing the pun. chase of silver bullion and issue of treasury notes thereon, and tor other purposes,' as directs the Secretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggre gate amount cf 4,500,000 ounces, or so nirch thereof as maybe offered in each month, at the market -price thereof, n )t exceeding $1 for 371 25-s 100 grains of pure silver, and to is sue in payment for such purchases treasury notes of the Uuited Stages, be aud the suuse is hereby repealed, but this repeal shall not impair, or in any manner affect, the legalten der quality of the standard silver dollars heretofore coined; aud the faith aud credit of the Uuited States are hereby pledged to maintain the parity of the standard gold and sil ver coins of the Uuited States at the present legal ratio, or such other ratio as may be established by law." The bill does not interfere with the existing currency. It does not "strike down" any part of it. It distinctly provides that the legal tender quality of the standard silver dollar shall be retailed and pledges the government to maintain the parity of the gold aud silver coins of the country. The Wilson bill is intended to carry out this plauk of the Demo cratic platform adopted at Chicago: "We denounce the Republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 18S9 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all of its supporter?, including its au thor, anxions for its speedy repeal." The members of congress who are opposing the Wilson bill are ob structing the execution ?i oae of of the party's most solemn pledges. To refuse to vote for the repeal of the Sherman law now, when the finances of the country are threat" ened with ruin at its hands, is like refusing to put out the fire which is burning the house down over your head, because you haven't decided on plans for a new residence. The coinage question cannot be settled in a day; the Sherman act can be dis posed of and public confidence re stored by a single vote. The Bathing-Dress Girl Various seekers after truth have tried to learn the leaeon why many oiaidcns at the seashore during the bathing hour dress themselves iu the robes appropriate to the oc casion and yet faiL to enter the wa ter, contenting themselves with such pleasure as may consist in more or lees enhancing the natural beauties of tbe beach. But as most of these investigators ot fact started from the standpoint that the custom had its origin in some fashion-plate fancies of the eex, the results have been neither ex tensive nor important. As there is deeply founded natu ral reason, however, for woman's inability to thow a -Stone or shar pen a pencil, so will there be found naaaceeptab! explanation of this bathing peculiarity thiio inwoven with some ot the sweetest senti ments of the female heart. Up to a certain age all girls look upon men as heroes, and are continually placing themselves in the position of heroines. Hence in the lighter literature of somewhat earlier days the main circumstances ot the plot generally eyentaated in the hero stopping the heroine's runaway hone, 6r in rescuing her from rdowniug. Poetic jastic reqired that shebhouid reward her rescuer with her hand, and so in due time the story ended. This feature of the " novel of the past grew out of the heroic longing of her nature. It was ti e true rtflex of her heart if e. Yet the soulless utinitariana tin of to.-day has gone so far as to try and -give .romance another knockout blow in supplanting the seaside hero of that time by pro fessional life guards. Consequently, as none ot the conditions which her heart instinctively longs lor are preeant at the beach and "as the amateur hero, between disinclina tion and ability, would stand no ehow beBide the professional, the bathing-dress-girl sses little in ducement to go into the breakers undergo' the chance- of drowning merely to be saved by a man, pos sibly already married, who wears a nu shirt and whose highest niju in life is 'to lug her nnceretnonin onsly ashore andj roll the liuopes onto her over a nasty barrel), rkloi 1 iiaes. WHAT HAS C ME OVER THE SUNSHINE? What has come over the sunshine? It is like a dream of bliss, What ha3 come over the pin'i-woods? Was ever a day like this! O, white-throat i-wallow nickering The loch with long wingstips, Hear you the low sweet laughter Conies rippling from its lips? What has come over the waters? What has come over the trees? Never were rills and fountains So merrily voiced as these 0 throstle, softly piping High on the topmost bough, 1 hear a new song singing; Is it my heart, or thou? THE DEPRESSION IN NEW IN LAND- As the 1 hiladeiphia limes shows, and it is not to be gainsaid, the cotton trade in the New Eng land Gtatcs ia in a wretchedly dis couraging condition, and particu larly so in thi.ee districts which make printing cloths their staple trade. But the evil is only a tern porary one, which will pass away, a3 many previous depressions have done, with no worse results than a brief period of idleness to the help aud a loss of profits to the stock holders. Nor will the shut-dowu be without some counterbalancing advantages. It will enable the mills to make inucheneeded t-lteras tions and repairs tending to increase their productive capacity at a more economical cost. It will beget economies and compel reiorms which will cut off much costly but unproductive he!p. It comes upon the hands at a season of the year when they must need rest, can live the cheapest, and need little out' lay to make their homes comfort able until the mills resume opera tions. Besides this, it will clear the market of the vast piles of overs pro ced goods which now glut the warehouses, and it will justify the operatives in their long eoun ciatcd claim that the remedy for an oyergorged aud profitless market is a shut-down upon production nstead ot a cutsdown in wages. Nobody imagines for a moment that the MeKinley bill gave new England good trade, any more than ihey believe that the present stag nation is due to fears of tariff le- tbrm. At least nobody who is in a position to know the circum stances does so. In 1S90 91, times were as bad or worse than now and print cloths went down to 2 15 16 cents per yard, while cotton was much dearer than it is at present thus reducing the margin upon manufacturing to a lower figure than that at which it is found to be possible to produce the goods now, lbe following Hguree, oasea upon the calculation that eight pounds of raw cotton produce 45 yards of printing cloth, will show this to be so: x January 10, 1891, the raw cot ton cost, at 91 cents per pound, wa3 75 cents; the piece cf cloth, at 2 15 16 cents per yard, sold for $1.32 3 16 cents. August 18, 1893, cotton cost 63 cents; the cloth, at 2 cents, sold for $1,231, and the margin -was 60f CMlt-2. It must be granted that the busi ness depression in the New Eng, land States, affecting . as it does over 10,000,000 of epiodle3 and 245,000 looms and fchutth'g down employment to tens of thousands of operatives, i3 a very serious one even il it cannot be' charged to tariff reform or to the election of Democratic Presfdent, and wi give rise to a fervent hope that it wili soou be over. Lick of confi den ce, financial stringency, the ext treme caution ot buyers, the un settled state of silver legislation and the general tightening of purse strings are all actiye causes center iDg on the situation, and it wi not be until that confidence is ree 6torcd and Congress has done the work it was called to do that better times can be hoped for, Mean while goods are being worn and worn out aud will need to be re placed, and in every home in the country there will be need, for those gooda upon the productio of which New England so largely depends.

The Argus shares the common regret at the loss of Mr. Joyner to this community and ioina heartily in the following resolutions adopted !)y the Board of Trusteed of the city schools on his resignation: Mr. J. Y. Joyner, late Superintendent in. w. AWtPAto a Trofessorshin in the Faculty of tna State Female Normal i ' -p i -w School, and in consequence thereof, hay ng refusel to accept the Superinten dency of the Goldsboro Scnools.to which he had been re-elected, a committee com posed ol W. C. Munroe, J. H. Hill and H Grant was appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees to draft resolu tions exDressive of the sentiment of the board at the loss of Mr, Joyner as Super' intendent. The Committee repored the following resolutions, which 'were unans ouimsly adopted. Resolved 1. That while this Board congratulates the people of North Caro lina nnon securinz the services of one so well fitted to discharge the responsible and delicate duties of the position to which Mr. J. Y. Joyner has betn elected, yet it cannot abstain from expressing r gret at the loss the people of Goldsboro has sustained in losing the superintend ing care over their children of one so ripe in experience, so rich in endowments, and so devoted in aim, as is Mr. Joyner. I Resolved 2. That during the years I that Mr, Joyner has been Superintendent of the Goldsboro Schols his intercourse with the Board of Trustees has been uni formly pleasant, he has, by his kindness and censideration endcred himself to the children and the teachers, he has by his scholarship, good judgment and tact kept the school upon the high plain upon which it was pitched, and added to its populara ty; and, has in all respects, worthily worn the mantle of his distinguished pres decessors. CONDITION OF COUNTRY IN 1857. Richmond Dispatch. "Iuthe year 1857, in his annual mPHHflcr to nnntrrpua Mr. TW.hanan gave a description of the then condi- O O J clearly the. linaments of the panic which now paralyses busines?. The great Pennsylvania statesman declares it to be one of the highest and most responsible duties of ?ov-1 , - - n ernment to ensure the people a currency He was addressing Con gress and was speaking of the Fed eral Government and the Federal laws. It was, he said, the duty of the government to "ensure the peo ple a sound curreuey." Yes, "enc sure the people a sound currency What prevented? What was the difficulty? "Unfortunately," con tinue one of the wisest Presidents the country has ever had, "unfort unately this important and delicate duty has been transferred to more than 1,400 State banks, acting in dependently of each other and re gulating their paper issues almost exclusively by a regard to the pres- ent interests of their stockholders." There would now be about 5,000 of these State bank?. Think of 5,000 different kinds of circulating notes, and not one of them known , ' 1C , , , .. . to be good five hundred miles from home. Think of what a motley currency we should have. Think of return ine tn the old svstem ot issuing . . t - i -m . m $300,000 of circulating notes upon iHUU,uuu oi spec e. une aonar to redeem three, and that one dollar lent to somebody and a notice put upon the door that the bank has suspended specie payments. J. nere would not be a nundrea men in Richmond who could detect countionale in Paris and the British terfeit3 upon these wild -cat banks. The difference between a national currency and a local currency is that one is for the people and the other is for the men who receive in terest on three dollars of notes based on one dollar of real money. THE COST OF PRODTJOrNGr SIL, VER, What does it cost to produee an ounce of pure silver? This is a ques asked tion which Mr. Halstead has a great many times. It is a question which many per- sons would like to see anwered. Why nnt. annwpr it? Tt teems to us that every Congressman would like to be able to do so. We know that the cost of the production of silver is greater at one mine than at some other mine. But approximate ac curracj may be attained. Let all the papers and all the n n for Congressmen continue . the desired information until they A: 1 4-1, get it.
