"Laura" is dead. Jor thing, she died
in an obscure place in the city of Danville,
Va., and under circumstances of a heart
moving nature. 15ut we will let tho local
paper tell the melanelioly story in Ha sen-
tentiuus and thrilling words :
Died Shuffling Cards.
Rledsville Tmea)
'JlerTiame was Laura. She, was a hand
some young woman hardly 21. Recently
she went from Salisbury to Danville op
in excursion, ami there. remained m a den
of vice. A horrid disease had hold of her
md her. lite- was fast ebbiug away, but
she kept the secret sacred to herself. Tho
oflier day she died in oneof the Sutherlia
mildiugs back of Craghead street. She
was dying alone. Tho news got wind and
eople sought the place to see her die.
rhere she lay, the dance of deatli in her
eye, and with' a puck of cards in her hands
she wojild shu file them nervously and
gaze around the room.
''Say !" she cried, "how much have von
got to put npf and sho cut the cards as
if in play. Then her thoughts turned to
he old home, a child again, and like a
wandering bird returned to its nest her
spirit seemed to flutter for a lullaby from
WY mother's Jap. ".Mother rest!" she
screamed, but it must have called up dif
ferent pictures on the wall, tor she giw
weaker aud wea-kerr and her eves rolled
wildly as the world got darker one, two,
three she was gone. The crowd of cu
rious ones moved off.
Poor "Laura." Unfortunately; and to
the shame of our civilisation, she left be
hind many just like herself. Xo city,
town or vilhige is without her like. "Lau
ra" went from Salisbury, There are "Lau
ras," and Susans, Berthas and Mngdalines
travelling continually from city to city.
When they become stale and too well
kiiQWu in onp place they fly to another
aud set up afresh. They all have secrets
hidden away down amongst the rubbish
of their painful memories, And wljou
death cutdrs to close thtdr miserable lives
they often rave aud talk of mother,
home, and the dear ones of early life.
''Laura," in the above case as we learn on
patjent inquiry, was a colored girl known
here as Shag Hoyden.

' The Observer and' Its correspoudent jittacka the
Watchman by charging disloyalty to the" Democratic
party. They say of It "pretending to be Democrat
ic;" and asks tne question : "Would It," (the Wateh
tuatt), "as It seems,prefer to witness the election of
a Republican over our nominee. . Recent events
render Its course suspicious." . -
The foundation of this attack Is that we have not
advocated the election of the Wllkesboro nominee,
and for this potent reason the, 06nr 'and his Arm
field correspondent doubts the sincerity of our devo
tion to conservative principles and the party with
which we have heretofore, acted and to which we
still al!er& Well, let them doubt. We are not in
the habit of purchasing the good opinion of men or
newspapers, high or low. A, man without moral
courage to do and say what he beUeves to be right.
fearless of the opinion of others, Is a shabby feUow,
We have live down many a slander and Qod: win
ing we can live down this.
We have no disposition to evade the Issue In this
case. It Is true that we have not advocated the
election of the Wllkesboro nominee; and unless there
is some change in the slate we do not mean to advo
cate it. It Is due to Mr Annfleld to s-ly that under
other circumstances it would have afforded us pleas
ure to vote for him; for we entertain a high regard
for him as a man of learning and ability, and per
sonally we esteem him not from any acquaintance
we have with him, but out. of respect to the good
opinion held tt him by persons who have known him
better than we. He Is accused of Intemperance
you can hearttVany day In any crowd where the
Congresslwnal question comes tip. ITe and his friends
claim that he has reformed. ; We know nothing per
sonally of the accusation of the claim. We have seen
him repeatedly and he was always sober. Out of
respect to at least one of his friends we are willing
to accept the claim of reformation; and that out of
the way wc could have no objection to Mr. Armfleld
personally.
But we do possess a strong conviction that the
Wllkesboro Convention In Its get up was so tainted
with a disregard ot the will of the people that It Is
unworthy of public sanction. In this part of the
District Maj. ttobblns stood pre-eminently above all
others as the people's choice. His good Congres
sional record, his prompt attention to every Interest
of his constituents and the country nt large, his de
votion to his public duties, whether In the commit
tee room or on the- floor of the House, earned for
him the hearty applause of his people and of the
newspapers at home, and it was obviously to
theJnterest of the people to send hlin back, and
they so Intended to do. But while he was rldselv
engaged at Washington, managers in the several
counties hurried up the primary meetings and call
ed a district convention long in advance of the
people of other districts In-the State, and Major liot
bins got home Just In time to see himself most un
ceremoniously laid away as an old fossil.
We do not cire to ppeak in detail of these proceed
ings, for we think they bear upon their face enough
wrong to warrant their rejection by any man who
loves fairness and justice; and this, as we under
stand It, Is the oause of all the dissatisfaction in the
district. The Obtercer and Its correspondent will
not flitter us, we presume; by charging all the dis
content as resulting from our course in regard to the
WUkesboro Convention, We ar. certainly not vain
enough to claim it. Indeed we differ with our
brethren of the press generally in respect to the
office of the newspaper; foi while many of them
think It falls la Its mission If It fLs. to manunrture
public opinion, we hold that it performs its duty
best when it faithfully reflects public (.pJidn; aD(j
in mis case we nave sought to do no more. We may
sometimes be mistaken, doubtless are. but with the
best lights before us, we have felt all the time that
the Wllkesboro nomination was unsatisfactory to the
people and that they would not sustain It if it could
be avoided without detriment to conservatism.
This is the extent of our political Miming for
which the ol rver and its correspondent rush uiion
us with charges and ba-HT insinuations. iSpcak out
plainly: no events old or recent have any terrors
lor us.
But those ass.iilants of ours are vexed over what
they are pleased to call "the question," and it is
propounded with an emphases designed to give it
special siguinoanee. S.iy they -The question Is,
Who writes these articles? Who is this dlsorgan
Izer ?"
This is a bit of Impertinence which we might well
passuver, but we will answer it. lest tjiey should
consider it smart. The man ' who writes these arti-
cles" w.is nver an oillce-seeker and never expects I

12 years old; and whose habits or utcsecure him from

taking us to task on the score ot oppo
sition to the Wilkpsboro' nominee, aud
affects to believe thnt there. is no consid
erable opposition to him. in any quarter
except in Kowau, The Landmark has
has been a supporter of Mr. Armtield for
some months, before the District Conven
tion, and may have had an active hand in
running the machinery by w hich a new, un
expected and undesiied man was bruught
before the people of the District. But
if there is no considerable Democratic op
position to the Wilkesboro nominee what
need of being troubled about our course ?
Why not just drive along unconcernedly ?
Ah! no, the Landmark knows all about
how the thing was done aud hears the
murmur of discontent from every quar
ter; but it is afraid to turn its battery
against the people, for it knows that
would only make bad worse, . We hap
pen to be a safe mark in the. field of its
vision and it cracks away at us wjth its
little pop-gun and believes it is playing
the very mischief with us. All right,
young friend, we are heartily amused" at
your earnest endeavors, When its all
over we will compare notes and see if we
can't agree to behave better in the
future. Simple fairness not to say mag
nanimity, might have prevented all tror
ble. It will be well to remember the
lesson and profit by it.

might have a wide onsuinp1 lion, if the
duty imposed on them was not so high as
to place them beyond the reach of most

Suicides' in &,tn Francisco,
The last report of the San Francisco
Coroner shows that for the year ending
Juue.'iO, there were 10.) cases of self-destruction
in that city, or nearly one for
every three days in the year. Compared
with Brooklyn, the. ratio of suicides in
San Francisco is three to one, and with
Philadelphia, five to one. In seeking to
account for this unnatural tendency, the
Coroner concludes that w hile the unusual
political aggitation in California during
the year may have had something to do
with it, the prevailing mania for specula
tion in mining stocks is its chief cause.
