We have had the pleasure of look
ing over "Chinese Gordon," a book
injhe Pioneer Library, written by
Archibald Forbes, which makes
mention of the strange adventures
(if a native of North Carolina as a
soldier of fortune. .
In 1859 and 1860 the Chinese had
some hard knocks with the Europe
an powers but were forced to suc
cumb. A Chinese rebel party, called
Tai-pings, not content with, the
terms to which the Imperial govern
ment had to.submit, openly revolted.
A couple of Americans, whose names
were Ward and Burgevine, were en
gaged by a number of wealthy mer
chants of Shanghai to recruit and
Organize a foreign force to keep
pack these rebel marauders. j I 1
Ward had command, had useful
military instincts and great personal
bravery. He filled his ranks chiefly
with Chinese and kept them well
disciplined, but his officers were
mostly foreigners. They did a great
deal of hard fighting from I860 to
i j -.'! j ' -
L8G2 and won for themselves the
name of the "Ever Victorious Ar
ny.w' ; ; " ' . j. I :
Ward died end Burgevine suc
ceeded him in the command. Bur
ije vine is described as a more un
scrupulous soldier of fortune than
Ward. He soon came to logger
jieads with Li-Hung-Chang, the
Imperialist Governor-General of the
kiang provinces, the quarrel was
f intensified by a variety of circum
tances and in January 1863, Bur
gevine was dismissed. j '"
Then it was that application was
made to the British government to,
allow Capt. Charles George Gordon,
of the British Army, to' take charge
of the "Ever Victorious Army."
Gordon was just turned of 30 when
he went to China. His troop eon-w
i'sisted of 5,000 men and 150 officers,-
the latter of whom were all foreign
ers, most of them being Americans,
though there were some English,
Germans, Spaniards, Frenchmen,
Italians, Poles aud Grek
among
them. It was a motley crew,

pacificatcd the rebellious district.
In the meantime Burgevme was
not idle. A noteworthy man in his
way, this Burgevine, in sketching
whose strange life a page may not be
wasted. I A native of North Carolina,
his father had been one of Napole
on's officers. He was a scholar and
had been a gentleman, who made
shipwreck of his life, because of
ambition unsupported by steadfast
purpose, of restlessness, and finally
drink. Dr.': WilsonVsays of j him,
"A much wandering man, lie seems
to have turned up in California,
Australia, the Sandwich Islands,
India where he studied Hindus
tanee Jeddah, London, and other
places, being in fact one of th.se
nautical gentlemen who combine a
taste for literature with the power
of navigating coasting vessels, and,
would fate allow, of founding great
empires." Ho tired , equally of a
postoffico clerkship and of, editing
an American newspaper, and so nat-'
u rally gravitated to China, which
was at that time to the adventurers
of the world .what Central America
had been in Walker's day.
He never ceased to resent his dis
missal from the command of the
"Ever Victorious Army' but con
tinued to nourish his revenge against
the Imperialists and his dream of
carving out an empire in China.
Overtures were made to him by the
Taiping rebels and he took a detach
ment of miscellaneous foreigners to
Soochow and identified himself with
the Taipang cause. The TaipiugB
wished to have him for the double
reason that he and the Europeans
would - be formidable in the field,
and in the belief, too, that he 1 had
sufficient influencwith he "officers
of Gordon's force t bring ; them
over, and perhaps the force with s it
He soon became dissatisfied with
his position at Soochow and entered
into a personal communication with
Gordon ' Gordon .guaranteed Bur
gevine and his troops immunity for
their acts in the Taipang service,
Offering farther to take some into
his own force and to; assist the rest

made" Gordon the proposal that they
two should unite and 6eize Soochow,
hold it equally against Rebels and
Imperialists, organize an army, of
20,000 men and marph on Pekin.
Guiuou declined witn quiet scorn.
When the time came for the de
sertion of Burgevine and his officers
to Gordon's camp, all of them suc
ceeded in escaping the watchfulness
of the rebels but Burgevine and his'
personal stall. - He was in a ticklish
position and the Taipings were about
to cut his head off, but Gordon wrote
to them and his intercession was of
account, for the miserable turncoat
; was safely delivered over to the
American consul.
Subsequent investigation prpved
that while Gordon was interceding,
for Burgeyine's life, the latter made
propositions ib Jones, his lieutenant,
to entrap Gordon and make him a
prisoner. Jones revolted at such
base treachery and a "difficulty"
ensued. (Jones told the story thus :
"Burgevine drew his revolver and
discharged it at "my head at a dis
tance of nine inches. The bullet
entered my cheek and ranged up
ward.. I exclaimed, "You have shot:
your best friend V His answer was,
"I know I have, and I wish to God
I had killed yon I" There is a cyn
ical frankness in the comment on
this statement which Burgevine sent'
to a Shanghai paper "Capt. Jones'
account of the affair is substantially
correct ; and I feel great pleasure in
bearing testimony to his veracity
and candor, whenever- any affair
with which he is personally ac
quainted is concerned."
This eminent tar heel-subsequently
joined both sides in this war sev
eral times and in 1865, while a pris
oner in the hands of the Imperialists,
the quaint conceit took possession of
the Chinese commander of drown
ing him, so Burgevine was j thrown
overboard.
MOTHER MACE IT.
To tiie Editor of The Topic :
A few months since, while in one of
the beautiful towns of North Caro
lina, an incident ' occurred which
awakened in my mind a train of
recollect ions, which" may be written
and read with advantage.
1 I was hurrying along' the street,
when my attention was arrested by
the appearance of a little boy on the
side of the pavement, selling candy.
He was not really beautiful, nor was
he decidedly the reverse. His age
wa about nine years, his clothes
were old and faded, but well patch
ed. His candy was spread upon a
coarse, cotton cloth, neatly stretched
over what had beenajapaned server.
He was surrounded by a group of
small boys, evidently belonging to
different grades. of society.
As I came nearly opposite him,
the oft-repeated -interlude, "Cahdy,
sir," fell upon my ears, and,! al-'
though opposed to the excessive use
of candy, I stepped aside to patron
ize the light-haired, pale, freckled,
homespun little representative of
trade. I purchased of him, partly for
v his encouragement, but with particu
lar reference to the friendship of the
Mttle folks of tho family with which
I was a temporary guest. The can
dy was its white as the cloth beneath
it, being free from the -poisonous
coloring ingredients so expensively
used in the confectionery art. I
tasted it and found it delicately fla
vored and very nice. , j
"My boy," said I, "your caijidy is
very good. Let me have a j little
more." I immediately saw that my
remark had awakened in his young
heait emotions which, in themselves,
were quite abstract from the candy
trade. His countenance beamed
with joy, as he raised his large blue
eyes, sparkling with delight, and
observed in reply, "It is good, isn't
it. V Mother made it.
i j In these few words was embodied
ain unconscious expression of char
acter. Here was an outburst of filial
affection U "rv:.
Now, the incident of itself, was
trifling, but the spirit of the lan
guage carried my mind back through
life more than fifty yearn, and at
intervals bade me pause and apply
the sentiment to some item connect
ed with my. own history. Before
making the application, however, I
wish to disabuse myself of the charge
which such application may incur,
of appropriating to myself the no
bility of character which I have
above attributed to the candy boy.
Holding myself exempt from this
arrogance, I would simply say, I am
not ashamed of the profession of
affection for my parents, though
they are both in heaven now, and I
hope I may not outlive that profession.'-
;' V L ',-,' - "-
When I was a little boy I attended
school very little, for my parents
were very poor. I carried my dinner
iu a satchel made of calico. Some
of my schoolmates carried theirs in
fashionable willow basket, and
sometimes they teased me because I
carried mine in a "poke.j" I felt
vexed, but reconciled myself with
the recollection hat, if I did carrv
a talico poke, "mother made it." In
less than twenty-five years after that
tune, one of these schoolmates was
happy to avail himself of the privi
lege of sending his children to my
school to receive gratuitous instruc
tion, proffered in view of his ex
treme povertv. ; His children came
to school without any dinner.! They
had no nice willow basket, they
needed no calico "poke."
I was in school but a very short
time when I wasi boy, my parents
being too poor tasend me, yet I
made rapid progress and soon gained
a good knowledge of the sciences,
because mother desired itrHenry
Ii ruled his copy book with a
pencil set in a fine silver case. He
said he would not carry such a great
ugly club of a pencil as mine. I
compared the pencils. I had a good'f
lead pencil hammered out of apiece;
of lead, Mother made it and I was
satisfied with it. ' After we grew up
to be men, Henry 11 came to me'
one day to calculate interest upon a
note in partial payments, j He then
carried a pencil worth only four!
cents. Y hile at school l had no
gum elastic ball, but I bad one made
of woolen ravelirisrs and covered
with leather. "Mother niade it."
Whenn my twenty-second year,
I attended for a while the Classical
School in Lincokt county. There;
were in that school many fast young;
men, sons of wealthy parents. There!
were others whose good sense was
not annihilated by pecuniary advan-j
tages. Of the former class was
David F -, who wore fine broad
cloth. My best coat was not so fine ;
the cloth cost one dollar a yard ; my.
mother traded some 'of j Upt own
manufacturing for it, while I
working to assist mv father in
was
sup
porting the family ; she paid fifty
cents for getting it cut, and made it
herself, David F Cfirnc one day
to my desk, held out his arm, com
pared his coat sleeve with mine and
inquired, ironically, where I had got
such a fine coat. I proudly told
him "mother made it." He feigned
great surprise and sarcastically ob
served, he had mistaken it for im
ported goods ; he wished he i could
get such fine cloth, and wondered if
mother would not get him up. fine
coat. . I
A short time afterwards, while in
a taylor shop one morning with a
fellow student, Pavid F's fine coat
was brought in by a lady with in
structions to scour and press it. He
was not in his class that day ; he!
had been seen the previous night
rolling in the mud, drunk as Bac
chus. He left the school in disgrace.
He now sleeps in . a drunkard's
grave. - l : -y , V- ;.' ',;
I boarded myself while attending
sehool here. . I walked nine miles
homo at the end of each week, and
returned Monday morning with my
loaf of bread under my arm. It
would become stale before Friday
evening, but I always relished it
when I recollected "mother made
it.", ::i '.'-I ..;
I am now so far advanced in life
that my friends begin to call me old.
But I have not lived long enough to
learn hotf to forget the counsels and
teachings of a sainted mother,

been a public man, devoting my
whole time to letters and! books. I
i have been able through perseverance
i and the blessings of a kind Provi
dence, to master several languages,
and am conversant in all the sciences
of the day. , I hare gained some
distinction amongst my fellows, but
I ' owe it all to my mother, ? She
never studied Grammar, Philosophy
or Music, these things were seldom
taught in her young days, but she
knew how to value these things, and
toiled hard many a day'to purchase
books for her children, and support
them at school. ; '
Had I curled the lip of scorn, or
blushed in company to have heard
her use a singular for a plural verb,
or pronounced'a word twenty years
behind the Websterian era, the old
dilapidated. grammar in my Library
would testify terribly againstmy in-f
gratitude, I recollect one cold day
when she rode seven mile? to sell

CHiflaEO WITH BIGAMY.
A North Carolinian Daserts his Whits Wife
and Elopes with a Marriad Colored
Woman.
Abingdox, Va., March 20. '85.
A white man named Joseph IVd im
was arrested hereto-day for bigamy.
He has been living here for several
months with a negro woman who
was nearly white and the couple
were registered at the Arlington
Hotel as man and wife. Palmer is
originally from Caldwell county, N.j
C, where he has a wife, with five or:
six children. His first wife was the
widow of a man named Levi Hart
lev, and she has money and proper
ty amounting in value to about
$6,000 whem Palmer married her.
This he got possession of and squan
dered and then deserted his wife.
The negro woman with whom Pal
mer has since be'en living is also a
bigamis4t. ' She has a husband of her
own race, named Hugh Grimes, who
lives also iu North Carolina, and she
eloped with Palmer several months
ago. Grimes, however, made his
appearance here a few 1 days ago in
quest of his unfaithful wife. He
discovered the pair, but before he
could secure the necessary legal
documents thewOman fled and elud
ed arrest. Palmer, not being so suc
cessful, was arrested, and upon ex
amination was sent to the Grand
Jury for bigamy.
GENERAL GRANT'S ILLNESS.
rBrooklyn Egle.
' Gen. Grant has been reported not
to appreciate the fact that he must
soon ; die. This is mispepresenta
tion. The grim old hero of Shiloh
and the Wilderness fully under
stands that he has a few weeks only,
at most in which to live," and to his
intimate friends he speaks of it with
the same freedom and in the same
matter of fact manner that he dis
cusses his intentions with respect to
his dinner or the condition of his
digestion. It is indeed eminently
characteristic of the man that he
faces death is his stolid aud unmov
ed manner. If left to himself he
would not live four days. He is
very weak and is indisposed to take
any nourishment whatever; because
of pain produced by swallowing and
because he has no appetite. Despite
all efforts by those who care for him
he at limes refuses to eat for two
days together. Then the members
of his family gather around him and
beg of him for their sakes land for
their happiusss and peace of mind
to take nourishment. He consents
and endures the painful ordeal. For
a time he is exhausted by the effort,
but in an hour or two he begins to
reehd and then he improves very
rapidly until his system begins to
call out again for food, and ho grows
worse again rapidly, until the per
suasion of his family again prevails
and he takes more food. He knows
perfectly '"well that he. cannot sur
vive four weeks more,; and his dis
tant friends have been summoned to
take a final farewell ! of him. If
Grant were a religious man he would
be a Methodist or a Presbyterian,
but he frankly says that he hacfno
especial religious training in early
youth aid no has not studied the
subject sufficiently in his latter life
to form any opinion as to what he
does believe, lie believes that there
is a. God and a hereafter, i but he is
not prepared tp say that ho believes
in the extreme- position taken by
'most Protestants, that th uncon
verted and the indifferent will be
eternally tormented. If Grant's po
sition, with reference to religion,
could be defined it might be express
ed as a condition of indifference.
He doesn't apparently bother, him
self in the least about the life here
after, seemingly being willing to
take his chances with the millions
who have gone before him. He has
consequently not desired to talk
upon the subject to clergymen., and
as yet no clergyman has called upon
him to offer pr explain tho oonsol
ations of belief m the Christian
religion. The only clergyman with
whom Grant was ever intimate was
Rev. J. P. Newman, his old pastor
in Washington, 'and late his pastor
in New York City. All of General
Grant's family are now with him, or
within near call, except his daughter
Nellie, who married the Englishman
Sartoris, She has been summoned,
and is now on her way with her chil
dren. She is the General's favorite
child, and he has kept calling for
her and insisting that she must come
to him ever since the gravity of the
situation .became manifest. ' ,
Fred Grant's wife, - formerly Ida
'Honore, admired in Kentucky and
in Washington, has be. n devotedly
attentive to her father-in-law, by
whom she was long ago nicknamed
"Sunshine." He dislikes the atten
dance of a hired nurse, and thus far
none have been employed. Upon
Mrs. Grant and Ida have devolved
' such services as he will permit to be
done for him, j
Chiriesa Gordon iim."
j letter fr lu Mr. Egmon Hak . j
From 1865 to 1871 Gordon1 lived
at Gravesend, improving the defen
ses of the Thames. He lived wholly
for others. His house was school
and hospital and almshouse in turn;
was more like the abode of a mis
sionary than of a commanding offi
cer of engineers. The poor, the
sick, the unfortunate, were ever
welcome, and never did supplicant
knock vainly at his door. ,.He al
ways took a great delight in children,
but especially in boys emploved on
the river or the sea. Many he res--o:el
-from the gutter, clesm.l
them and clothed them, and kept
them for weeks in his house. For
their benefit he established reading
classes, over which he himself pre
sided, reading to and teaching the
lads with as much ardor as if he
were leading them to victory. He
called them his "kings," and for
many of i them he got berths on
board ships. One day a friend asked
him why there were so many pins
stuck into the map of the world
over his mantlepiece ; he waa told
that they marked and followed the
course of the boys on their voyages,
and that they were moved from
point to point as his youngsters ad-
vanned and that he prayed for them
as they went, night and day. The
light in which he was held by these
lads was shown by inscriptions in
chalk on the fences. A favorite le
gend was "God bless the Kernel."
So full did his classes at length be
come that the house would no longer
hold them, and they had to be given
up. Then it was that he attended
and taught the ragged Tschools, and
it was pleasant to watdh the atten
tion with which his wild scholars
listened to his words.
I " "
I THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
Explained By ths Superinteident cf Public
Inspection.
Nowa aud Observer.
I trust that it will not be consid
ered improper for me, through the
newspaper press, one of the great
educators of the people, to explain
the modifications of public school
law, enacted by the recent general
assembly. I am moved to do so because!-
of the j numerous v inquiries
relative to the matter, knowing as I
do that it wili necessarily be some
weeks before it will be possible for
the law to be published and sent out
as required by law.
The prominent changes from the
old law are indicated by the follow
ing provisions. .. . " .
; 1. On the first Monday in June
next, and every two years thereafter,
the justices of the peace and the
county commissioners at their joint
meeting are required to elect three
residents of their county, who shall
be a county board of education. Their
duties shall be the general supervis
ion of the school matters of their
county, mainly such as are now per
formed by tho county commissioners.
They are to meet four times a year,
with a compensation of two dollars
a day and mileage.
2. The county superintendent is
to "be sec.etary of the board of edu
cation. Hia. pay is. two or. three
dollars a day, as the board may de-.
termine, for the days that he is ac
tually engaged, and he is under the
direction and supervision of the
board. He will in addition! to the
ordinary duties of superintendent,
perform the duties now required by
tlie register of deeds in school mat
ters, j A good board will give him
pay and work within the limits of
the law, according to his efficiency.
3. The county board of education
will hereafter not be required to
make a per capita apportionment of
the funds among the several school
districts of the county as heretofore
required. The law requires that
two-thirds of the money be appor
tioned on a per oapita basis, and the
remainder one-third is to be appor
tioned "in such a manner as to
equalize school facilities to all the
districts of the county,, as far as may
be practicable and gust to all con
cerned, without di crimination i in
favor of or to the prejudice of either
tide." If the board find it doairable
so to do, they may control prices: to
be paid teachers, and they are pru
dently to require comfortable school
houses to be provided. ,
These provisions indicate the prin
cipal chauges in the law all other
are minor changes, made necessary
to made the system conform to these
provisions. - ,
As I understand it, the assembly
intended to separate school affairs
from other county business, and put
them in the hands of persons special
ly appointed with a view to their
fitness to manage thenr judicially
and economically, giving them large
discretion, and evidently taking into
consideration the fact th t the State
is exceedingly diversified in its in
terests and population, and on this
account demands larger local discre
tion than has heretof owrobtained.
This local discretion . extends also
to' the county , superintendency.
While it is almost axiomatic truth
that there can be no good system of
public education without the service
of an active and competent superin
tendent, some of our counties are
slow to realize the fact. Such coun
ties are allowed, under, the legisla
tion, to elect an inferior man super
intendent, restrict the scope of hit
labor and jog along, being contin
ually distanced in the educational
jmo uj men mure progressive neigh
bors. A successful business man
never "invests money , in any enter
prise without either superintending
it himself, or employing a competent
person to superintend it for him.
This principle applies to school
business with double force. A Bhort
term Of frnnd CpTinrvlin rr is 4.1.
O IO WVIliU
more than a longer one of inferiori
ty ; time is aved in proportion to
the efficiency of the teacher in a
mariced degree. !
The system is not more expensive
ihan the old system. The special
board of education will not cost
much if any more, than was the
cost of the county commissioners as
boards of education, and the fees
heretofore paid to registrars of deeds
will be eliminated. . j
Seeing that the constitution of tho
State requires a system ofpublio
educatic-n, may I not ask the justices
of the pece, the county cimmission
ers and the "people to assist me in
executing the system given us by
the assembly under their constitu
tional requirements, to the end that
we may provide at least a rudimen
tary education for all the children
of the State, and to the end that
what money we have for education
may be judiciously and effectively
used. May I not hope that wise,
benevolent and suitable men will be
found in every county who will con
sent to act as members of the board
of education, which is the founda
tion of the system ?

Previous to 1820 ther was no im-
Brovement in the county west of the

sclaw went from Watauga river
and pitched his tent on Banner Elk,
on the land now - known as the Big
liottonis of Elk now in possession oil
John Smith and James Whitehead.
Uis lirst House was built on the nlan
of a collier's shanty, open at one end
wihj a "ic in iriiiiL over wnir.n
aunt Lyla cooked venison, bearmeat
and other game and baked hocakes
in perfect contentment till a log
house cquld be raised. Jlle soon
cleared some land which produced a
few bushels of buckwheat, rye and
com, the latter usnally . injured by
Jrost. In winter .he packed hay on
horseback 10 miles across tho frozen
Beech, from. Watauga river. Mr.
Holsclaw died without realizing
many of tho fruits of his enterprise
and labor but the partner of his
pioneer hardship and adventures,
now almost a centenarian, still livea
surrounded by every desired comfort.
Fifty-six years ago Banner Elk
was an nnbroken forest, the undis-.
