By an African Constable and Prose- cnted by an African Attorney in an African ,BarberSbop, NewberneChronicle. Negro constable, negro lawyer, negro magistrate, negro loafers. The odors that are peculiar to the race thick and dense, and all this in a negro barber shop away up in Five Points. Over thefloor in knotted heaps were countless strands of wool. The room was -small and stuffy one's flesh would J creep with strange sensations. Erery thing essentially "niffeery." Courts may have a dignity that must be maintained, but the dig nity of this court could not be ad mitted except the mind struggled bard to . realize that the white blooded old Tar Heel State spoke through the dark-skinned barber magistrate, the negro lawyer and the negro constable. A pure-minded Caucasian lady of refinement and delicacy, charged by the negro lawyer and his negro clients wjth abducting aud harboring a little negro girl, and only so charged because she had so resented tbe officious im pertinence in her own home of the negro lawyer and negro clients this frail lady of refinement was summoned to appear before that negro court in Five Points yester day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The husband of the lady was also war ranted. He appeared but his wife did not. Thank God for thatl 'Law and order," and "respect for the court" could not, under tbo peculiar conditions and circum stances drag this white woman of refined sensibilites iqto this negro barber Bbop before the crowd of negro loafers aud negro magis trate. "YY e could bring her if we chose to," flippantly observed the negro lawyer. "Suppose you "make the effort," significantly remarked one of the four white men in the barber shop. Blood was pumping fast and hot through the veins of the four Cau casians. The negro lawyer made no reply. There is no need to enter into the grimmy details of the case, or to elaborate the proposition that defendants were entirely guiltless of the brazen, brutal charge. As a matter of spite the case was born of the spite aud maliciousness of the African attorney a mark to the memory of Carolina's Supreme Court Bench! He had not received the obeisance in a white man's home due a man "of the cloth" so he took his revenge. The african dispenser of im maculate justice could not read fhe warrant, so this was done by the black attorney. Still, one must respect "the court" even if it cannot read its own decree! The defendants, through coun sel, waived examination, and were each placed by the intelligent court under a one hundred dollar justified bond. Tbe crowd of ne groes lookedon in awe and silence. What dreams of splendid powers reposed in their race must have swept through their mindel What victories yet to be won! A white man and his wife! bending low to a frizzle-headed magistrate! forced to hear the lashing froth of a frizzle-headed lawyer! dragged into a frizzleheaded court by a frizzle:headed constable! what splendid victories were theirs! But there is retribution every where. Its in heaven in the skies in earth in ALL things. The white men of North Caro lina must stop these things! Cite South Carolina! and follow suit! ; I would not be without Chamber Iain's cough remedy for it weight in gold," writes D. J. Jones, of Holland, Va, - "My wife Was troubled, with "i a cough for nearly two .years. - I tried various patent remedies, besides numer ous prescriptions from physicians," all of which did no good. I was at last per suaded to try a bottle of Chamberlain's cough remedy.-which promptly relieved the cough. The second bottle effected a complete oure." The 25 and 50 -cent bottles are for sale by W."

" Kefereuce baa toon made to the work which Superintendent How ell is doing in having tbt children of tbe public schools of tbe city taught the history of tbe North Carolina soldiers in the Confeder ate war. At this season It Is of interest to give a summary from Mr. Howeirs compendium which he has prepared for the use of teachers and which: is as follows: "North Carolina did ''not leave the Union until ifter thi Confed eral government bad been organ ized. In February, 1861, , the 8tate voted against secession by a majority df 30,000. Bnt in Mareh Mr. Lincoln became president, apd called for volunteers to subdue tbe Southern states that had seceded. He asked North Carolina for 1,500 men. And theu onr State, on May 29, 1861, decided by a big vote, to cast its lot with the Con federate States. "North Carolina was next to the last State to secede, but it was tbe first to suffer. The first man killed in tbe war was Henry Law- son Wyatt, of Edgecombe county, who fell in a skirmieh at Big Bethel, Va "Twenty-eix engagements were lougbt in North Carolina, fhe most notable events beiag: The recapture of Plymouth by Gen. R. F.Hoke and Gen. M. W. Ransom in 1864; the defeat of the Fednral ueewn noanofce river by tbe ram zv.oemarie, nnaer Commander A I l - . 1 m 1 oook, tne neroic defence of Fort CiVa. J T ITT a.. Fisher, under Lamb and Whiting; and Johnston's last stand at Ben- tonyille, In Johnston county. Sol diers of North Carolina went far thest up the slopes of Gettysburg under Pettigrew, and made tbe last charge at Appomattox under Gen. W. R. Cox. North Carolina furnished one-fifth of the entire Confederate Army, from first to last. At Appomattox one half the moskets surrendered were from North Carolina troops. Military population of North Carolina in 1860 115,369 Number troops furnished tbe C. S. A. by N. C, about 125,000 German loss in Franco- Prussian war 3 1-10 per ct. Loss of Allied Armies in tbe Crimean war 3 2-10 per ct. Loss of Union Army in the Civil war 8 6-10 per ct. North Carolina's loss in the Civil war 35 per ct. "The greatest loss suffered by any regiment on either side in any one battle, was tbat of tbe 26th North Carolina at Gettysburg, commanded by Col. Harry Burg wyn, of Pettigrew's brigade, Hetb's division. It lost 588 men. In one company of 84 men, every mart and officer was hit. Tbe light brigade, in the celebrated charge of the 600 at Bahklava, lost 37"per cent, of its men, bnt the 26th North Carolina regiment, charging up the heights of Gettys burg, lost 86 per cent, of ijs num bers, and -eobody blundered, either.
