' Bistorittl Inrntlgatlca." Richmond Times. In a recent letter from Chapel Hill which appeared in the Times, reference was made to the fact that the University of : North Carolina was actively' engaged in collecting biographical details of the distin guished men who have in the past, more especially, we believe, in the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary eras, contributed to the reputa tion of the State in various walks in life. 1 The work is one which should have the approval not only of the .citizens of the old North State, but of the people of the South in gen eral. The line of investigation adopted at Chapel Hill will doubt less be extended to yery great ad vantage in accord with the sugges tions thrown out by Processor Hart, of Harvard, who has been delivering a series of interesting lectures on the general subject in that univer sity. The investigation should be enlarged so as to include every side of the past history of. the State, al though all are more or less involved in the biographies of its most cele brated men. ; The example originally set by the Johns Hopkins and now followed by Chapel Hill should be imitated by all the. other leading institutions in the Southern States. Only in this way can a vast mass of most impor tant facts be rescued from the ob livion into which theyhave fallen or are rapidly falling. With our great universities the centres of an active, aggressive, historical , spirit, results would be accomplished in a compar atively short time which would take generations for isolated ; historical scholars fto bring about. It ii only a question of a few years for all our educational? institutions of the highest class to come to look upon this work as one of the . prin cipal duties which they are called upon to perform. Nothing would add more to their usefulness or in vest them with greater distinction. Dyspepsia and Liver CcnpUint.

The last davs of many of our great men haye been peculiarly pa tneti.c. cam Kanaaii, wno was in terrible pain during his last hours, . looked up just before he died at his - it-j j it . j wue, smueu ana uttereu ine worus "mother." For forty-eight Hours Mrs. Randall had not left his bed side, and his band was in hers as he passed away. Randall s was another case of overwork and lack of exer cise' This, with his peculiar tem perament, brought on the gout and he died in his prime. ueneral Logan's death was full ol pathos. His last act was to try to whisper to his wife, and General Hancock's last words were' to Mrs. . Hancock, whom he called, using her pet name "Ellie.;" He then at tempted to say good-by, but he had only uttered the word "good," when he relapsed into unconsciousness and expired:. Judge Jeremiah Black died with a prayer on his lips, and just before he left the world he said to his wife; "How can I fear to cross the dark river when my Father waits for me on the other side." He then prayed, saying: "Oh, thou most beloved and merciful Heavenly Father, from whom I had my being and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will, grant that my suffering end and that I speedily be called home to Thee, and oh, bless and comfort my Mary." A few mouients after this he died. Vice-President Wilson picked up a hymn book just before he died and looked for a long time at bis wife s picture, which was pasted in : the front of it; and Henry Clay's words during the delirium of his' dying hour were: "Mother, mother, moth er, and my dear wife." THE PRESIDENT "SIZED UP." . - -1 . Colonel Bob Ingersoll does not believe that Harrison will be renom inated. He says : Harrison ought to be satisfied. He has nad pretty good luck for a man of his size, and he ought to give some other great man a chance. There is nothing to be said against him, and that is a good deal of praise, but four years are enough eight .too much. There is plenty of presidential timber of the Harrison kind the woods are full of it and so I believe in a change, in rotation, in a new deal and a new dealer. A Drag Clerk's Lot Mot a Happy Obi. Charlotte Chronicle. A drag store clerk's lot is not a happy one at least that is the sen timent of a clerk in one of the Charlotte ' drug stores, who sleeps over the store, ' and has an electric bell connecting his room with the street door below.1 Yesterday morn ing about 2 o'clock this haplesss young man alluded to, was enjoying to the fullest the quiet, sweet repose that comes to those who have un troubled consciences, when he was startled from sleep by the prolonged ringing of bis' electric .bell. He sprang from bed, and hurried down stairs as quickly as possible think ing from the continued pressure on the button that some one must be ill or dying. Reaching the street door he opened it quickly and ' asked of the individual whom he found there what he wanted; "10 cents worth of castor oil for my dog," was the reply. "He is sick and I thought maybe it would help him." Sequel There was a dog funeral next day. . Ten . cents buys other 1 drugs than oil. ' i Balfour Irish Bill. IiOKDOnv Feb. 18.

Contractor Dennis Murphy, who occupies the handsome residence at the northeast corner of New Jersey avenue and I street northwest, vea. terday complained to . Engineer Commissioner Rossell that the resi dents of that vicinity are much ex ercised at the lack of the proorietv' displayed by P. W. Buddecke. chan cellor of the German legation. The chancellor resides at the southeast corner of New Jersey avenue and I street, and the complaint against him is that the family wash is week ly hung out to dry in the parking in front of the house. A similar complaint was made some years ago, but nothing could be done by the Commissioners, ow ing to the chancellor setting up his official connection with the German embassy, which exempted him from . a.: i l -r-v- . . . prosecution uuuer ine JJistnct laws. " x on should nave been here on Monday," said Miss Murphy to a reporter last evening. "And then you could have seen what a nuisance and an eyesore tne opposite corner presented. All sorts of underwear flaunted before the eyes' of every one, and visitors could not under stand how we could endure it. . It's a disgrace and it should be stopped." JJr. is. JNelson, of 823 JSew Jersey avenue, wno lives in tne second, house from the chancellor, said : "This is an old matter with us, and Mr. Murphy and myself taliced over the drafting of a bill to be presented to uongress to give us relief. You see, Mr. Murphy's view down New Jersey avenue is thoroughly shut off on wasn days, and it is a regular habit for me to pull down the blinds every Monday in order to keep from looking on the sight. I have no yard oi any consequence, and am forced to send out my wash to a laundry. If I should attempt to hang out the clothes" in front the police would quickly stop inc. But the chancellor can do as he pleases It seems' to me he should be amenable to the law, as he owns the house and lot and pays taxes on them. He owns an other piece of property down on Myrtle street, and I suppose he could hang out his wash there, too. Some thing should be done to prevent Buddecke from continuing the prac tice." Neither the chancellor nor his wife were at home when the reporter called, but the colored girl readily admitted being in the habit of hang ing out the wash. "There's no back yard," she said, "but a small little place not large enough to hang up' the clothes, and there's no way to get up to the roof, so I have to use the front." A prominent District official said: "This may lead to an international question. The complaint will most likely be investigated, and perhaps a note sent to the chancellor with the intimation that hanging clothes in the parking is objectionable to the neighbors. Then if the chan cellor refuses to abate the nuisance a letter might be sent the German minister reciting the facts in the case, and calling his attention to such a pronounced breach of the proprieties on the part of his subor dinates. If the minister fails to come to time and call down his chancellor, the next step would be an appeal to the Secretary of State to exert his diplomacy in securing the required concessions. It promi ses to become a celebrated case before the end ia reached." A KFW FAD IB WASHIXSTOH : The Washington Posfs report of the latest innovation of etiquette at the Republican court is decidedly interesting : ; "For years it has been a debated question, the subject of endless dis cussion as to whether or not the President, as the official head of the nation, should not take precedence of the host and hostess. The usual arrangement bas been for the Presi dent to sit on the right of the hostess. In order to settle the matter, Mrs. Noble, some time since, sent to Lon don to get the English order of pre cedence, which carried out her ideas on the subject by averring that the President should occupy the seat of the host. The matter was then sub mitted to the State Department rom which the reply came that the mat ter was in this country purely op tional. Mrs. Noble thereupon de cided to have the seat for the President placed at the head of the table, she occupying the one on the right. Secretary Noble sat at the opposite end of the table, with Mrs. Harrison at his right hand. 1 A still more effective way says the New York Sun, to emphasize the 'fact that the President is the guest of honor and the chief Executive of a nation of sixty-five millions of people would be to put him on the table itself, at the central spot occu pied ordinarily by-fioraP ornaments or emblematic devices. r , .

A prominent Allianceman of this section of the State said yesterday to a gentleman who afterwards repeat ed the conversation to the Chronicle, that there is to be a third party this year, in state and nation. Tne Allianceman in question ' is a very excellent Democrat and was distress ed to know that the facts are as he stated them, realizing that a third ticket in the field would bode no good to the Democratic party. True, it would not it may defeat the Democratic ticket ; and yet, looked at from the "personal com fort" standpoint, as Mr. Cleveland oald say, which is better : to be run over and trampled upon by one's party associates, so-called, and to be afraid to protest, or to have these disgruntled associates quit the fel lowship and set up on their own ac count ? There are some of them who insist, for instance, that the Democratic party must swallow the Ocala platform. Now, it cannot do that and maintain its self-respect, and we are frank to say that it would be better on every account for the party to part company with those wno want to bring a golden calf in the camp than to fall down and wor ship it. The party has no friends to spare and we seriously hope that the new and chimerical ideas of the past few years will find fewer follow ers when the test comes than seems probable to some now, but whether the number be great or small, if they are to insist upon their peculiar no tions it would be more manly and more considerate of them to estab lish a new party for the furtherance of these ideas than to undertake to engraft them upon a party the ' es sence of which is contrary to their spirit. Such a proceeding might result in the defeat of the Democrat ic party, but there are worse thirgs for a party than defeat. BUSINESS UAXIMS.
