girl of sixteen, was one of the belles

a youth pi twenty. lie made no at
tempt to conceal his affection for Miss
Everett "and haunted her footsteps
continually. She received his ad
dresses in a pleaeant way at first, but
when ho began to assume so much
persistence bho begin io discourage
them. This maddened the boy, and
he told, her that he could not live
without her, and if she refused to
marry him something terrible would
be the result. She told him that she
did not desire to marry yet, and that
he, too, had better be thinking of
some other subject. Today he called
at her home and renewed his suit.
There was no one at home but ibe
girl and her mother. She still main
tained that she did not desire to
marry him. The rejected lover then
pleaded with the mother and begged
her to nfiuence hor daughter in his
favor. : Mrs. Everett said that she
would not allow her daughter to
marry tot several years yet. No sooner
were the words spoken than Bail
stepped back aud, drawing a pistol,

placed the muzzle of the weapon to

there in tll nis eMri- t reform the

party in the confidence -of the Ameri

never wavering in their willing and
effective support. Let. thtse friends
now remind all their iellow-citizeus
of tie patriotic and useful career of

let every one professing his political
faith proclaim the value of his teach

responsibility of public servants to
the people, care for those who toil

of corporate privileges and a reform
in the civil service. His was true
Democracy. It led . him to meet
bokliy every public issue as it arose
With his conception of political dutv
he thought it never; too early and
never too late to give battle to vicious
doctrines and corrupt practices. He
believed that pure and sound Democ

G rover Cleveland.
Washington, Feb. 11. Judge Alex
ander McCue, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
who at present holds the office of So
licitor of the Treasurer, has been of
fered and has accepted the position
of Assistant Treasurer at New York,
vice Canda, resigned. Mr. McCue
did not seek the office, and accepted
it only upon the solicitation of the
President. It was offered to him
about three weeks ago and declined.
It was then tendered to several other
persons, but each of them declined
on account of the vast responsibilities
of the office. Early this week the
President again urged Mr. McCue to
accept the office, and atter thinking
it over for several days he concluded
to do so. He called on the President
this morning and informed him of his
conclusion, adding that while the du
ties of the office were somewhat
strange to him ,;at present, he would
undertake to perform them bo as to
reflect no discredit upon the Presi
dent or himself. It is expected that
his nomination as Assistant Treasurer
will be sent to the Senate Monday.

jThc Cosi;of North Carolina.
Asbeville Citizen.
Far back in the interior, we know
little and give little heed to the great
ocean side that characterizes one sec
tion of the State. Uplifted in the
west into a tumultuous billow of
mountains, we look down with igno
rance and perbapj indifference to the
ocean tumult that sweeps our eastern
base. Mighty contrasts they are. In
the past, the great level of the equal
earth has been the subject of convul
sions that appal the imagination and
sta-id today the solid proofs of a pow
er that brooks no resistance, and
play s with the rocks as toys to be
thrown into fantastic precipices
Stand on the fir crowned heights of
the Black mountains aud look first
into the low lying Piedmont country,
and let the fancy stretch away down
to the coast. Then let it turn away
into the billowy region of the west,
all ridges and mountains; all upheav
ea above a formal level. Ice eye
sweeps away on the one side into t
grand upheaval of constantly-upheav
mg ranges, and gradually loses itself
in the distance which terminates in
the coast-if it can reach it. There
tho capes of Cape Hatteras and Cape
Fear stretch out far into the main,
that mam which is the grand route
of the trade of the world. In it
course comes the trade of the Iucfies,
the wealth of Mexico, the exuberant
richness of South America, ibe wealth
of Peru, and the splendid products
of California. Along the North Car
olina coast is all this stream of wealth
swept; and along its shallows are all
its dangers encountered.
Senator Ransom has foreseen these,
and in his protection for Cape Hat
teras has provided against them.
rhe Religions Argument for Cremation.
Springfield (Mass j Republican.
it seems strange that any one
should justify the present practice of
disposing of the dead by burial, on
religious grounds. No custom surely
could be more distinctly irreligious
and unspiritual in its suggestions. All
religions agree that men should be j
taught to distinguish between the
spirit, which survives death, and the
body, which perishes by it. Ihe be
reaved of all faiths are counseled by
their ministers to turn away their
thoughts from dwelling upon the
dead form oi their friend, and fix
them upon his living spirit. What
could be more out of accord with
that counsel, or more calculated to
neutralize its effect, than a mode of
disposing of the body which aims by
all the devices of the undertakers to
secure the longest period of preserva
tion consistent with natural laws T
The entire implication of this prac
tice is to suggest the idea of some
shadowy sort of identity Btill contin
uing between the departed and his
discarded tenement. The dreary super
stition, powerfully encouraged by so
general a custom, affects the minds
even of those who reject it,and sorely
hinders that spiritual view of death
in which alone there is consolation or
uplifting. On many a mourning heart
the inanimate form in its grave is an
incubus holding the thoughts to
earth, an anchor not of faith, but of
unfaith. On the other hand, the swift
and utter rendering back of the body
by the pure ministry of fire to nature
would be a striking object lesson of
immortality, enforcing the preaching
of priest and poet that we should
think of the dead only as spirits. It
would be a solemn and eloquent cere
mony by which the bereaved re
nounced the bodily conception of the
departed, and declared that thence
forth they would consider him spirit
ually only. What form of obsequies
could so clearly express the sentiment
of believers in immortality T Death
teaches us the distinction between the
perishable and imperishable parts in
man, but our mode of burial confuses
the meaning of the lesson. The sani
tary and other arguments for crema
tion are conclusive in their way, but
the spiritual and religious argument
is weightier still.

Rule for Gentlemen at a leap-Yeir Party.
At a leap jear party in Cincinnati
each lady presented her partner with
a neatly printed programme, on the
back of which were the foDowi ug
five rules of conducts "Gentlemen
are requested to conduct themselves
with the most lady like propriety.
Therefore it is expected that no gen
tleman will promenade alone or leave
his seat unless escorted by a lady. It
is an especial request that the belles
of the evening will not drop their
tans and handkerchiefs any oftener
than may be absolutely necessary.
Gentlemen are requested to entertain

Not for Blaine.
The Boston correspondent of the
New York Evening Jost says: "A
business man who has wide acquaint
ance in and out of the State, and who
voted for Blaine four years ago, sayB
that he will never vote for him again,
and he finda that men of like posi
tion are not uncommon among his as
sociates. It is his observation that
the poliiicians are more united for
Blaine than ever, but that the busi
ness men are less inclined to support
him than they were in 1884. I know
of other men, leading Republicans,
who are of exactly the same way of
thinking."
