When mac's wondroni pillars are no more High o'er an urban site of Fgypt'e tate, When wizard-shadows of old col- ubbi, crowned.

And point an age that may not read our books (Our tongue, perchance, then olden, i forget) To mygt'ry deeper than the mystic lore Of heathen priest 'gainst shrine to Ins wrought .

No trace of love did pagan chisel leave Where speechless sphinx and Men- non's vocal stone Were naught but shapes of mon arch a monster-pride: But, thou, sprung tall, from dream I woman s love, Art sign of love o'er soil of those who loved, themselves, 'Till, sweating blood, their tensa of passion burst, Then knightly , men, who loved their Sorvan State, To crucifixion went. SuggisiioTs Which Fit Bin. Charlotte Obeeerer. We read in the Philadatahia 7im. that .Tndfra UcPharion. of tha DanDhin conntv. Pa., court, in a charge to the jury in a suit growing out or the attempt of a foreign building and loan association to col lect a mortgage with nsurious inter est, gives in a direction in which it is very much needed. "The state ot Pennsylvania," he says, "for srood reasons of its own. has char tered building and loan associations. Oar own associations are lor tne most part local in their character and are managed by persons with m . . a a i wnom tne memoers oi tne associa tion are or may become acquainted. Associations like the plaintiff are scattered aU oyer the country, and what their character and by wnom they are managed few know." Commenting upon tnis tne limes save : "Investors need just such advice as that inclnded in Judge, McPher son's charge to protect them against .1 3 ! ll "J 1 f ice deception pracuueu uj iimuv ui these foreign concerns. More than one Pennsylvania investor in these foreign associations nave learned to their cost when seeking to witnaraw investments that the promises of perfect security and large interest were false and were glad to recover a part of their original investment. The safe and sure policy ior tnose who want to invest their small sav ings in building and loan associa tions is to invest in a local associa tion. The rate of interest they will secure on their money will be only the legal rate, bnt they will De pret ty smre to get their money back if they want it, and ti tney are Dor rowers they will not be compelled to tut nanrioui interest. The Penn sylvania bnilding and loam assooia- tions witn a iew exception u and safalv manasred. and furnish one of the best possible agencies for tbe investment of small savings. As much cannot be trntninuy. said ior some of the loreign associations which promise investors a mnch higher rate oi prone. fiirika out "Pennsylvania" wher ever they may appear in the forego ing nri in .art Korth : Carolina." and it applies with full force to this State except tnat tne limes sug gests that thera are 'a, lew" local bnilding and loan associations in its State which are not "well and safely managed,", while .we . think there are none sucn wiin us. xam point is that people who rnn away from the home associations and take np with those on the outside because tne latter promise low rates w rowers and enormous profits to shareholders, are almost certain to get stuck. Take the building and loan associations of Charlotte : they are managed by the , best business . talent here, and by as honost and conscientious men as taere are any where. They are conducted within the law, oifil and moral, Zand with every possible - economy, it t any body comes here and says that, his building and loan association an d a legitimate business, comply with the laws of North Carolina and eith er lend money cheaper or pay the hara holder a higher rate of inter est than the home institution can why, he just simply can't do it and that is all there is anous u. xaero i mat an mnRB nrofit in t this bun- nest, parefully, ftgally and "iiQutstlj Ann Anii florares'are made Ho lie jrben they are made fa show 'profits of 12. 15 or 2Q per cent.

He needs no vindication from mortal lips. Taught (from child hood, as all American youth had been, that in any event and under all circumstances, his first allegiance and whole duty 'was to bis State, her call for his services was his all sufficient justification,- as it was bis proudest badge of citizenship. He did not hate, but had always loved the Union, and would have been ready, as his fathers always were, to give bis fortune and his life in its defence against a foreign foe ; but he loved hie State more, and to her appeal his heart leaped responsive and hit hamd grasped the sword. Who shall frame in fitting words the story of his career ? Courage on the battlefield is the common at tribute of good 8 ldiers everywhere, and if that constituted his only claim to admiration, he: would be but an ordinary figure on the page of history. ? Bat it is the moral aspct of his career that is sublime. It was his magnificent struggle against over whelming odds for the preservation of constitutional liberty, for the right of self government, for all, indeed, that was sacred in his heri tage that has made him a; hero and a martyr for all time. And this magnificent struggle was tnade, not only against overwhelming forces and resources and eqaipments, but in a country blockaded at every ports, gradually stripped of the commonest means of subsistence, n sable to pay for his services, and finally reduced to rags and starva tion. Still, throughout it 'all. even to the last moment, he stood inflex ible, patient, cheerful, self sacrific ing, brave and true. Who can with held from such virtuts the tribate of praise, and honor, and (respect, and who that hath the semblance of a man dare call their possessor a traitor f p ) Just at the ' formation ) of the Union North Carolina held back and refused accession to it, so cat the formation of the Confederacy, with characteristic conservatism, she with held her assent, in the hope; of an amicable adjustment, uniil the proclamation of the newly elected sectional President, calling on her for troops to war on her Southern sisters, fell upon her ears and fired her soul. On this same historic day, 34 years ago, she again declared her independence, and girded nerseir for battle. The war cloud cburst, and for four years its pitiles pelt ing fell upon her people. . How did they acquit themselves in the con flict ? Did they prove themselves worthy of their Revolutionary )sirfcsr For answer I turn, not to theitesti mony of any commanding officer, living or dead, Federal or Confeder atenot e vn to that utterance of that stainless Lee, in the last Agon ies of Appomattox : "God bless old North Carolina." I point to the inscription on that stone, "First at Bethel, last at Appomattox " C appeal to the records, written alike by friend ard foe. I tender ber poll-list of voters in 1861, 13, 000, and the total of her Confeder ate rank and file, 125 000 ; I point to the fact that she con tributed pearly one fifth of the sol diers of the Confederate army hat she lost one-fourth of those killed in battle- that she lost more than one-fourth of those who died of wounds -that she lost one third: of those who died of disease. ( I cite the appalling and unprece dented fact that at Gettysburg, her ever memorable Twenty-Sixth Reg iment lost 90 per cent of the men carried into action. i I put in evidence the fact tht, on several battle fields of Virginia, she left more dead and wounded than all the other Southern States combined. . S I remind you that her Thirty Second Bagiment floated the stand ard of the Confederate States at the farthest point North which it evr reached. S I prondly show that one of hp r sons, commanding a Confederate ship, was the only man who car ried the Confederate flag around the world. And, finally, I show that when the end came, and her banners were furled, both at Appomattox aad at Greensboro, she stacked twice as many rifias as any other State pf the Confederacy. , . This is the answer, the glorious answer, which North Carolina makes to those who ask where she was and ht. tha did dnrinor tne war oe-p tween the States. To every call oi- Intv - whether to stain witn bleed ing feet the rough line of march, or; tn inar in ina Lruuuuos. ui w iwmm ihe way into the flaming hell of bat tle, or to corer a retreat-r-her steady inswsr always was "Adsum." -'Shall I recite the times and the places and thj deeds ? Ask me to condense years into an hour, a toI ume into .word, , a prolonged and thrillin tragedv into a brief sigh. - Go, listen to the Atlantic brecza that ainsra In the nine forests of the Vi'i-sini nAnininla to the ; capes of Florida go; sit beside the waters f Af the creat rivers of the flrmth and hear their voices as, rush ing through rooky passes, or gliding grandly through lowland stretches, they seek the sea ; go, stand upon the heigths of Cemetery Ridge, on South Monntaiu, or the bine hills which overlook the valley of the Shenandoah, or the steep ascent of Look out and to him that hath ears to hear, from bieezs and stream aye, and .from the yery rocks will come a tribute of praise and honor to the Old North dtate. She boasts not ; she never did of any of her achievements. So far from it, she has never preserved the memorials of them, which other people are careful to keep of their own, but has been content to sub stitute for them a sacred shrine in his own heart, to which, when un kind neighbors sneer, or degenerate sons dishonor her, she turns with gratitude and honest pride May God forever bless and preserve her ! I invoke, too, His choicest bless ings npon you, Oh, women of North Carolina ! who have pursued with unflagging zeal and devotion the noble design which is this day ac complished, and upon which you may no a look with the su pre meat satisfaction. You have cot erected this monument exclusively to the Confederate Dead of our own State, nor do we confine our loving trib utes to them alone. We embrace the wide - sweep of our afl.ctionate remembrance all who laid down their lives in de fence of the rights and- liberties of the Southern States and people. From the cold blue lakes npon the Canadian border to where the warm waves lap softly upon the yel low sands of the Galf, on a thoas and hill sides and in a thousand valleys they sleep some beneath monuments like this, some in pri vate cemeteries, thousands, alas ! in unknown graves. We love and hon or the memory of all alike- They deserve such tribute if mortal men ever did, and never was it paid more sincerely than now and here. Stand then, bronza image of him who wore the gray! Thou canst not meet with calmer mien than did he the sunshine and the storm. Not Fore" enduring is thy granite base than the love on which he rests. Thou art a triumph of Art ; he was God's gift to his country. Thou shalt perish, but he shall live for ever in the hearts of his people. k Until Wifi. Tammany Times. The beat natured woman in the world resides in the city of Austin. She has been married a number of years to a man named Peterby, who is one of the most disagreeable quar reisome men outside of the Texas legislature. And yet Mr. and Mrs. Peterby have never had a quarrel, for tho reason that it is impossible to make her angry. He has scowl ed at her and occasionally wafted a chair at her, jist to sea if she wouldn't get angry, out he suffered disappointment in each and every instance Peterby bad oeen Drag ging to his friends about what a good natured wife he had, aad GiU ? . -. . . .-.I 13 booly o tit re a to oet u Be wouia go home, raisa a fusi and pull toe taoie cloth full of dishes off the table she would show signs of temper. He ban tried that with bis wife once, but he never repeated the experi ment. Peterby said he didn't want to rob a friend of his- money, but he knew he could win. At last ns made the bet. The friend was to watch him tbrough a window. Pe terby came home apparently fight ing drunk. She saw him coming, went to the gate, kissed him and assisted his tottering steps into the bouse. He sat down hard in the middle of the floor and howled out : "Confound your ugly picture ; what did you pull that chair from under me for ?" "I hope you did not hurt your self," she replied, smiling kindly. "I iras to blame for it. I am so awkward. But I'll trv and not do it again if you will forgive me this time." And she helped him to his feet, although she had nothing to do with bis falling. He then sat down on the sofa, and sliding off, on the floor abused her like a pickpock et for lifting up the other end of the sofa. She said she was sorry and finally led him to the supper table. He threw a plate at her, but she asked him if he would take tea or coffee. Then the brute seized the table cloth and pulled the dishes and everthing over him in one grand crash. Some women might have lost their temper, but not so with Mrs. Peterby. She did not even blubber like a child ; sue did not even sulk or pout With a plea3nt smile, she said : "Well, George, this a new . idea. We have been married 10 years and hv.never eaten our supper on the floor.'

' At a conference of the executive committee of this Democratic party, of North Carolina, held in Raleigh, May 20th, 1895, the following reso lutions wera adopted and ordered to be published: 1st. That the executive commit tee of the Democratic x party of the State of North Caroliua. actiDg and speaking for and in beharf f the party, republish, reiterate and em pbas:z the declaration of the party made in the State convention, Au gust 8, IS94; in favor of the free 1 and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 te 1. 2d. That time and pressing vents have proven the wisdom of this latest declaration of the party on this all-absorbing question, and we appeal to the Democratic prets and people of the. State to give it their loyal, open and aggressive sup port 3rd. That in advocating the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the government of th United States, we are not asking any favors or concessions from any one, but are simply demanding that the great wrong done the masses of the Amer ican people by the Republican party ia 1873 be undone, and that silver be restored to the position it occu copied from the foundation of our goyernment np to the perpetration of that great Republican crime 4th. That in our judgment the immediate resa caption of the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the government of the United States, as it existed prior to 1873, witLout waiting one moment for the co operation, and without refer ence to the conduct or policy of any nation on eartb, is the great duty that now confronts the American peeple, and we appeal to all men of. every shade of political opinion ip. North Carolina who believes as we do that the restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver means the restoration of prosperity te our homes, to join with us in the great battle of 1896, which we in tend to wage to wipe out the Rspub lican crime of 1873, and to secure for our beloved old State good laws and government. 5th. That we send greetings to our Democratic brethren of Illinois, thanking them for the bold, open and aggressive stand they have ta ken in favor of the immediate re sumption of tht coinage of silver, and we send them our assurances of our hearty sympathy and co-operation in 1898 6;h. That regarding the ques tion of the resumption of free and .unl'mited coinage of silver as the overshadowing one in American pol itics, we urge tbat euch action ba taken by the various bi- metallic leagues as will open the way to a union of the friends of silver coin age ic tkeir support of the candi date for the presidency and candi dal 8 for Congress who can be relied upon to stand by the people in their great struggle for financial emanci pation from the evils of the single gold standard. 7th. That while we concede the right of- every citizen of the State to go as a delegate to the so called sound money convention, to be held in Memphis this week, or to be jep resented by delegates thereto, we at the same time protest that in so do ing thev do not represent! the Dem ocratic sentiment of this State. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than jail other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it. a local dis ease, and prescribed locaj remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable! Science hus proven "ca tarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore reauires constitution al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co . Toledo.
