OUR HEROIC PIONEER.
BY t. c. L.
Among our hilla and fertile vales,
Our rers, creeks and brooks and swalle,
A hero pioneer did roam,
While searching for a western home;
In Y-idkin Valley for ime.
He lived in this salubrious clime,
And hunted elk and deer ami bear,
Oft killing tbem whilst in their lair.
, This pioneer was Daniel Boone, '
Who started for Kentucky soon, .
But soon he met a deadly foe, - s;
Who vowed bl should not further go; - :
Though bard beset by savage fots,
He wi!l not yield but onward goes; -
His trusty rifle well in hand,
He kill aud routs each savage band.
Through for' ct dense, o'er mountains high,
He retcbt g soon the 'Ind of Uie 8ky;w
Here long be feaste on nature fair
And breathes the fresh salubrious air; -
Here fan the mountain's giddy height.
He feIs at home, both day and night;
A herb brave where o'er he goes.
He does not fear hi wily foe.
Full many a panther, deer and bear,
He kill 8 whilst rusticating here;
He oft times hears the hooting owl, :
Whilst wolves quite numerous round him howl.
At length he Waves these mountains high.
Still further West his luck to try;
- Through forest dense our hero goes
And oft times meets his savage foes;
But soon these red men of the plain.
Give back for Dauiel Boone again; f
Then on he goes (ihe coast now clear),
. His Western course again to steer.
At length through many uangers he
Arrives, his promired land to s-;
- Our pioneer so brave and plucky.
Has safely reached bis dear Kentucky.
Here from an elevated hill.
He views the landscape to the fill; -
Then to the fertile valley be
Descends, the fertile soil to Bee. 3
Here by a coo! and limpid rill, i .
He buiifts his catnp and rests at will;
Though far from wife and children dear,
Our lonely hero feels no fear.
fie now resolves no more to roam,
But hasten back to wife and home;
And then with wife and children too,
Again his pilgrimage renew.
Soon with his family and friends,
Again the mountains he ascends;
Though oft assailed by foes so plucky,
He soon arrives in old Kentucky. '
Of all white women of our land,
Boone's wife and daughters first did stand
Upon the river bank and view,.
The beauties of this region too.
Boone was a hero brave and true,
His wife and daughters heroines too;
They in Kentucky found a home
From which they never more did roam, ,

. Senator Vance's Courier-Journal
interview in! which he appears as a
"kicker" against the Administra-,
tion, has attracted attention here.
It is understood to be a declaration
of war and the gossips place him and
Senator Eustis in the same boat.
The opinion expressed by the junior
North Carolina Senator, that the
people in North Carolina are dissat
isfied with the Administration, is
not confirmed by yisiting North
Carolinians.j Here and there in the
State, it is said, complaint is heard
that changes are not made fast
enough, but as to any general dis
satisfaction,1 it does not exist. It is
also said that the people generally
are in sympathy with the Senator's
civil service views. The present
civil service reform is every wnere in
the State regarded and characterized
as a transparent humbug.
The Senator uses vigorous, and
unmistakable English in speaking
of Southern! Republican office hold
ers. "They gained their position,"
he says, "by going over to the ne
groes, by becoming traitors to their
fellow citizens, and by antagonizing
every principle of the Southern peo
ple." They ought to be removed,
and so far as North Carolina is con
cerned, they have been removed.
The one prominent Republican now
in office m North Carolina is the
Wilmington postmaster. He has
not been removed because - Demo
crats request his retention. The
change in the Charlotte mint has
not been made because Senator
Vance and Congressman Bennett
could not agree upon the appoint
ment. If there is blame let the
responsibility attach where it be
longs, j
At the instance of Senator Vance
the Department has decided to re
move the revenue office from States
ville to Newton. The changa is
only awaiting a report from Collec
tor Dowd on the cost of renting a
suitable building for an office in
Newton. The Department first de
termined to make no change; it was
then decided to remove the office to
Charlotte ; subsequently it has been
decided to remove it to Newton.
Collector Dowd fought against the
removal to Newton, but finally -acquiesced,
and is now understood to
join Senator Vance in urging that
change. It is understood here that
the removal is against the judgment
of the Department, and possibly
against the report of the special .
agent who was sent to North Caro
lina to investigate the matter. The
main objection urged against States
ville is that the only suitable build
ing in the town for an office is own
ed by ex-Collector Mott, and that he
is consequently the chief beneficiary
of the present location of the office.
However these things may be the
change is to be made, and that soon,
and the "Banner county" will ha?e
something besides "the banner" to
show for its enthusiastic fidelity to
Democratic principles.
The shorter a man is the longer
he is in paying his debts. '
A physician calls his dog Tonic,
because the animal is a mixture of
whines and barks. '
A PHYSICIAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Locked for Fifteen Minutes in a Dark Cellar
with a Raving Mad Oog.
.: 4
From the London St. James Gazette.
Last week I received orders to go
to the Britannia public house, in
Soho, and poison a large , retriever
belonging to the landlord, i My mas
ter had seen the
doc
during his
rounds, and found it in a dangerous
rabid state. I filled a small bottle
with hydrocyanic acid, and, taking
a syringe, went off at once to see
about it. Arriving at the house, I
stated my business, arid was handed
over to the pot-boy to be conducted
to the dog, which I could hear howl
ing every few seconds.. There being
no vard to the house, they had
chained the dog down in the cellar
to a staple in the wallA 'v'E's a wery
bad case, sir," said my guide, "an'
I'll be glad when it's all over ; for,
although he was a great pet with tis
all, an' that fond of the kids you
never see, it's awful to see 'im not
know any of us, but when we goes
near 'im to have 'im come a-flvinsr
at us. Hunk e ll suffer
There 'e goes ! 'ear 'im ?
long 'e 'owls like thajt."-
I assured him it would
over without much pain,
much ?
All day
soon be
and de--
scending some steps we
passed
through a room in the basement that
was dimly lit by a small and grimy
window. Cases of winesand spirits
were ranged against the walls and
we could hear the tramp of the
thickly shod 'customers in the bar or
tap room just above our heads.
Opening a door we passed into an
other room this was lighted only
by a small window in the room we
had just left, as it shone through
the now open door. "He's in there,"
said the pot-boy, pointing to anoth
er door in the wall opposite.
Thinking there was a window in
the room I pushed the door open
and immediately heard the rattle of
a chain, and the hoarse half howl,
half growl of the poor beast, whose
eyes I could see against the far wall
gleaming through the dark. Win
dow there was none. j
"Why on earth don't you bring a
light," I asked angrily ;""you don't
suppose I can poison him in the
dark ?"
"Thought I 'ad a match," said
the boy, fumbling in his pockets ;
"there's a gas-jet just inside the
door."
I had no matches, so I sent him
upstairs to get some, and awaiting
his return, sat down on an empty
keg near the door.
The dog seemed uneasy, and, fan
cying the light through the doorway
annoyed and distressed him, I push-,
ed it to with my hand. The boy
was some time gone (I found after
warks he had been to ask his mis
tress if she would like to have a last
look at the old dog), and I sat there
thinking over the job. The air I of
the cellar was close and the smell of
the wet sawdust on the floor was
most unpleasant. Clank went the
dog's chain against the wall or the
floor as he moved uueasily about,
wondering, I dare say, what was my
errand there. Then the movement
ceased for a time, or, partly absorb
ed in my thoughts, I failed to notice
it. The next minute I started, feel-j
ing something rub against my leg
ixtoKin? aown. i saw two ffiannsr
eyes just at my knee. The dog was
loose, the staple having worked, its1
way out of the damp and yielding
mortar.
For a second or two I nearly lost
consciousness. My heart stood
stilly but by an effort, kept from go
ing off into a'faint. I shall never
forget the next few minutes as long
as I live. I was alone in the dark,
with this rabid beast rubbing about
ray legs first one and then the oth
er, as if he was trying to find out
who I was. Then he rested his nose
on my knee and looked straight up
into my face. I sat like a statue,
knowing that at the slighest move
ment he would probably seize me,
and knowfng who better ?) that
such a bite in his advanced state of
disease was .almost certain death,
and a horrible death at that. Nerv
ing myself, I sat perfectly still, cal
culating as well as I could my chan
ces of escape. Presently the dog
put first one paw, then the other, on
my knee, ana standing on his hind
legs gently rubbed his head againt
my breast, then over my arms, and
then commenced to explore my face.
I shut my eyes and felt his nose pass
several times across my face, cover
ing it with saliva. Yet I dared not
move. I expected every instant he
would seize me ; the very beating of
my heart might disturb and annoy
him ; and I felt that, come what
might, I must fling him off and
make a dash for the door.
Suddenly he ceased rubbing against
me and appeared to be listening.
He could near the steps of the pot
boy descending the ladder. I also
could hear it, and knew not whether
to call to him or keep silent. The
dog now dropped down to my knees
again, still listening ; and t as the
light of a candle streamed through
the crevices of a badly fitting door,
he crept into the far corner of the
cellar, evidently dreading being put
upon the chain again. Then I made
a dash at the door, swung it open,
and, banging it to behind me, sank,
more dead than alive, on a case near
the wall. Seeing my state, the man
brought me quickly a nip of brandy,
and! pulled myself together. All
this time the dog was growling seri
ously on the other, side of the door,
and tearing at it in his mad endeav
or to get at j us. Steadying myself
as well as I could, I placed the light
on a pile of cases, and filling my
syringe with acid, opened the door
about two inches. As I expected,
the infuriated beast rushed at the
opening ; and as he did so I dis
charged the contents of the syringe
into his open mouth. In a few sec
onds all was over. When I went up
stairs I found my trousers, vest,
coat, hands and face covered with
the saliva from his mouth. I felt
sick and faint, and looked so the
people said white as a ghost ; in
fact, I could hardly stand.
The dog I had killed was bitten
by the mad dog that ran down Pic
cadilly some three weeks since, and
had only showed symptoms of mad
ness during the last,, few days.
WASHINGTON LETTER
; Washington, Oct. 12, 1885.
To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic:
Never before in the history of
Washington ha' e the government
employes taken so little interest in
politics. Political campaigns are at
white heat in three important States
but the clash of resounding arms is
not heard in .v'ashington. The
President and his Cabinet are paying
no more attention to what is going
on in New York, Ohio mid Virginia,
than did the frontiersman to the
fight between his wife and the bear.
This is not as it was wpnt to be in
the past, when everybody, from the
President down to the floor scrub
bers in the Departments were ardent,
active "politicians. Then the chiefs
of Bureans took about six weeks va
cation, and from the pedestal of a
fallen tree waved the bloody shirt
frantically. The longer a clerk stay
ed away from Washington, and the
more stump speeches he made, the
more solid did he grow in favor with
his party, and the more secure was
his retention of office. In previous
years clerks have had to pay from
fifty to one hundred dollars each to
the Republican campaign fund. This
year they have paid nothing. Dur
ing all previous campaigns, the De
partments have been the centres of
organized political activity. Politi
cal documents have been prepared
during office hours and many clerks
have willingly neglected their regu
lar work to collect and twist statis
tics to be used in political campaigns.
Now the clerks are at their legiti
mate work, and are hardly aware
that campaigns are raging in their
respective States. They have come
to believe their fortunes ate no lon
ger involved v in the result, and
what the Republican party loses
in political servility the whole coun
try gains in honest -service. During
the last' twenty years clerks have
spent the few days previous to an
election in an agony of suspense.
They then thought Democratic suc
cess meant ruin and starvation, and
they dreaded it as they dread the
day of doom. This has all been
changed ; a silent revolution has ta
ken place ; a great .eform has been
inaugurated, and is working incal
. culable good through the government
to the country.
Not only does it appear that the
President will uot take an active part
in politics, but will not talk on po
litical subjects. J He says, without
reserve, that he wishes to see Lee,
Hill and Hoadly elected governors
of their respective States, but he will
not go further. The report that he
has consented to go to the Virginia
State fair at Richmond a few days
before the election is without foun
dation, as is the report that Mr.
Hoadly became a candidate at the
President's request!
It appears, indeed, that Mr. Cleve
land is preaching by example a new
.gospel of Executive neutrality in
politics. But he is, to say the least,
in a very embarrassing situation. He
has believed that the support of the
Independents was important to the
success of his administration. They
have supported him at every step of
his political ascent from Mayor to
President. He naturally dislikes to
cut loose from them now, and yet
thev are behaving in a way that
makes it impossible for a consistent
democrat to have fellowship with
them. By their action in supporting
Davenport with their votes an.d
praising Cleveland with their lips,
they say as plainly as actions can say
that, in their unique opinion, Cleve
land is the only respectable demo
crat, that they approve the president
but detest his associates. The time
is not far distant when the Presi
dent must choose between Democrats
and these supercilious hypocrites,
masquerading under the name of
independents.
The President, I am told, looks
upon the election in New York as a
trial of his administration, and he
feels a much greater interest in the
result than he allows himself openly
to express. That he did not send
Hill a congratulatory message proves
nothing except that he did not think
it would be in accordance with pres
idential propriety to do so He had
not sent such a message to Lee or to
Hoadly ; why should he make, an
exception in favor of Hill ? He is
no more' President of New -York
than of Virginia,
Charm of American Women.
Archibald Forbes.
The frankness of the American
young woman has in it, on ,the
threshold, a certain bewilderment,
and even embarrassment, for the
British male person, especially if
his collars be too stiffly starched.
She has so utter an apparent absence
of self-consciousness ; her mental
equipoise is so serenely stable ; her
good-fellowship, if one may use the
term, is so natnrnl that he cannof
see his way easily to the solutjon of
the problem. I assume him .to' be' a
gentleman, so that his intuition det
ters him from a misconception of
the phenomena that confront him.
She flirts, he finds she is an adept
in flirtation, but it is a flirtation
"from the teeth, outward," to use
Carlyle'8 phrase, and he is fain to
own to himself, like the fox-hunting
farmer who tried unsuccessfully to
get drunk on the claret, that he
seems to "get, no forrader." Bui
although the citadel of the fort
seems to him strangely impregnable
because of the cool, alert, self-possession
of the garrison, I have been
told by heroic persons who have
'ventured on the escalade that, if the
beleaguer be he whom fortune fa
vors, it will terminate an honorable
sie;e by a graceful capitulation
Human nature is human nature all
the world over, and there is no
greater error than the prevalent one
among us that domesticity is not a
leading virtue of American married
couples That there js too much of
hotel life for American families, I
concede and I am fully conscious of
the faults and evils of the system ;
but that Tt entails any impairment
of the higher domestic virtues I
have failed to discover. It is not
easy to see how a woman is deterio
rated as the companion and friend,
of a man as the participator in his
aspirations, his troubles, his studies,
his higher life because her condi
tions release her from the duty of
devising the detail of a dinner,
from the irritation of demoniacal
domestics, from the drudgery of
checking grocer's pass-book, and the
sad realization that all bakers are
liars, and mostly robbers as well.

which he enjoys, he charms all by a

asked why he did not move on Wash

Minister Curry.
N -w York World.
Washington, Oct. 10. Mr. Cur
ry, the new minister to Spain, has
been out of politics for a number of
years. . He is a tall, angular man,
with the air of a college professor.
He dislikes society and is not at ease
except in his study. He did not
come to Virginia to reside until just
after the late : war. Ho married,
soon after taking up his residence in
Richmond, a Miss Thomas, of that
city. The Thomas family was very
rich. 'His wife, since the marriage,
has inherited a large fortune. The
family is verv religious. Mr. Curry
has always been considered a relig
ious man, but it is understood that
he became ordained as a minister
out of compliment to the wishes of
his wife's family. It is said that he
has never had a regular charge and
has never preached. Several years
ago the rich friends of the Thomas
family pushed him forward for the.
secretaryship and agency of the
Peabody Trust Fund. The salary
of this place is 15,000 a year. In
addition to this t he has been Presi
dent of the Richmond University,
which is a theological instittition. i .

privileged to live by. And, by the

sentence are not-used editorially, but

from the pleasure of our visit was
that it was too short to allow us the
opportunity to accept the many
pressing invitations we had to visit
our many good friends, njt Only in
Lenoir, but all over the circuit. We
may never see them all in this world
'again, but; there is comfort in the
hope of meeting in the ("sweet by

thing, however, to seriousiv mar the
pleasure of j the occasion the illness
of the pastor, Bro. Jenkins, who
was only able to be there part of the
day Saturday. He has"bieen quite
indisposed for several months, and
unable to do the work of the circuit.
We bespeak for him the sympathy,
prayers and support of his people.
We know how he feels, for we have
felt the same. The work is being

To the Editor of TJie Lenoir Topic:
Being out on a prospecting trip
when The Topic of the 23rd inst.
reached our office, I have not had
the opportunity of complying with
request of your excellent Correspond
ent, Old Hal, relative to) the tradi
tional history of. Col. Daniel Beone,
unfil the present. j
During Col. Boone's residence in
what is now Wilkes county, he had
carftps ini different localities where
he resided during his hunting ex
cursions and of course ht had trails
leading to and from the same. From
the best information I am able to
obtain', Col. Boone's route up Elk
Creek onjy led to his camps in that
locality and wa3 not thb route he
traveled when he; moved his family
to Kentucky. It is not probable
that Col. Boone traveled up Elk
Creek to theba&e of Eph"s ridge and
up the ridge to the ! summit of the
Blue Ridge and then traveled several
miles on top of the ridge in an east
ernly direction to the Deep Gap.
From the best traditional history I
am able to obtains Col. Boone's
route from his residence near the
mouth of BeaverCreek, was as fol
lows : He. crossed the Yidkiu river
at upper! Holman's ford, crossed the
hills to! the valley of Stony Fork
creek thence up the valjley to the
junction of the north and south
prongs qf said creek; where Colonel
Land now resides. Ilere'Col. Boone
took the divide between the two
prongs of the creek, passing over
Bald Knob, where the olid trail may
still be distinctly seen in blaces. He
traveled some distance along the di
vide and finally' crossed the South
prong of Stony Fork, passed over
Osborne mountain and crossed the
Blue Ridge through Saunders' Gap,
which is believed to be f the lowest
pass through the mountains, and is
between1 Deep Gap aud Cook's Gap.
From Saunders' Gap, Col. Boone
mad his Way to three forks of New
River and from there to the place
where the town of Boone how stands.
