there to sell for him. I had no inter-'
est in it more than to accommodate a j
friend. My suerior officers thought s
this a suthcient breach for my suspen
sion and acted according.
I have )eeu in the service of the W.
NVC. H. K. for nearly ten years, and I
have never scalped or speculated in a
VV. N. C. ticket and during that period
I have served the. company and its
patrons-faitlifully, never shrank from
a duty even tf the days of its most
perilous condition, and today I carry
the scars of 19 wounds received during
that period. I think it very unjust in
newspapers to try to make it appear
that I have been unfaithful and to
publish such reports from hearsay.
Very truly. B. A. Newland.
The item complained of was copied
in this paper last week, but with no
intention to do injustice to Mr. New
land. The above is published with
pleasure. The substance of the Ixind

along the line, and that paper meant
no injustice by publishing a common
rumor.

Samuel J. Tilden.
Another great democratic light has
gone out. Samuel J. Tilden sleeps the
last sleep, and the uncrowned choice of
the people of the United States for
President has gone to the reward of an
honest man, a friend of his land, a
sturdy defender of popular rights. The
sorrow over the demise of Mr. Tilden
will be more general and more sincere
than generally follows the death of a
public man. The great New Yorker
held a peculiar place in the popular
heart. It is generally felt that he was
made the victim of a great wrong and
suffered vicariously for a majority of
all. He has therefore been regarded
with peculiar tenderness, so to speak ,
and by democrats has been looked upon
as bravely bearing alone an in just ice
that was done their whole party. Hia
passing away will be naaffeetedly la
mented throughout the land. He was
a noble exponent of democratic princi
ples. His expositions of the political
doctrines which have made this conn
try what it is were sound and clear and
eloquent. He was an intellectual giunt
and he never faltered in his advocacy
of the rights of the people. He is, then -
tore, tii lly entitled tp the high place
that will be given him in the Valhalla
of democracy and to the lofty place he
already holds among American states
men. His life has been a long fight
against chicanery and dishonesty in
politics, against the trickery by which
the masses are robbed; and he dies with
the assurance of the "well don?" that
is given all faithful public servants,
and with the unfading wreath that
crowns the champion of the people.
He was born in the beautiful Leban
on valley of New York, March ly, 1814
and came of the best stock of the old
and the new Knglands. His people j stll(1y the methods by which the fath

In 1S04 he unexpectedly found him

the Democratic State Convention of
New York in 1868 delivered a politcal
discourse which is considered one of
the ablest to be found in the history of
the countrv. Later logins the most
brilliant part of tlie history of Mr. Til
delden's career the story of his coura
geous, unwavering, sagacious and suc
cessful crusade against municipal cor
ruption in the city of New York and
against ring rule in general in his State.
In 1874 he defeated General Dix by a
majority of 50,000 for the governor

entered on that work of reform in the
interest of the public good which gave

to lead against the enormous corruption

that had grown up in the administra

nominated by the democratic national
convention at St Louis for the Presi

scheme as -ever disgraced politics the
world knows also. (f the 8 to 7 com

date it is unnecessary thus soon after
the perpetration of the great fraud to
speak. The political crime is still fresh
in the minds of all people and the
disgrace of it will always re
main as a reproach, to- the public.
Suffice it to say that Mr. Tilden did
not take the seat to which he had been
chosen. It was given to a man who
herved as a figure-head during the four
years term of office and has since
found his level in the employment of
poultry raising.
Mr. Tilden wus one of the most emi
nent of the upholders of law, yielded
to the imposition made through the
legal form, and with the party to
whose lustre he added so much, waited
for the vindication that came in due
time, that was embodied in the demo
cratic triumph of 1884.
And now the Sage of Grej'sstoue is no
more. Amid the beauties of the ele

fortune which he made for himself
he lies dead, a childless man. His
memory will live long, however, in the
minds of the people he served well and
his wisdom will enlighten and instruct
generations yet to come. Another great
aposte of democracy has fallen asleep.
It is the part ot those who are left to

Under Water.
Some years ago I made a practical ex
periment by diving to a depth of some
, seven or eight feet, and remaining
j below while a party of friends stood on
the bank shouting as loud as tfley
could. Not a sound was audible.

that something must have struck me
I violently on both ears simulateously.

depth. The hunter, who can see the
animal through the transparent ice,
merely strikes violently on the frozen
surface with his club. The vibration
' is communicated to the water, and
i thence through the ears to the beaver,
i which rolls senseless on its back, thus
allowing time for the hunter to cut a
hole in the ice and pierce the animal
with his spear before it can recover its
senses.
After Treatment of Cataract.
At the St. Louis meeting of the
American Medical Association, Dr.
j Michel advocated the plan of using a
li;ht bandage to tlie eves after cataract
O O ml
operations and iridectomies, and allow
ing the patients to be in a lighted room,
where friends can come and read to
them. Dr. Michel's plan was not
favorably received at St. Louis, but it
has been tried by Dr. Chjserfin, of
Baltimore, who reports fourteen cat
aracts and four iridectomies treated in
this way. After the removal of a
cataract or the performance of an
iridectomy, the eyes of a cataract, the
eye of an iridectomy, is closed in its
normal position, and a bit of isinglass
plaster, about two and a half inches
long by one inch wide, is then rendered
flaccid by immersion in some germicide
fluid, and is neatly applied to the
surface of the closed lids. When dried
this forms a close, firm band. The
patient is then .allowed the full liberty
of his room, and is not shut up in
darkness, as was formerly deemed
essential.
A Miss Take.
An old gentleman, upon hearing
that his obstinate and self willed
daughter was about to elope with her
fellow, conceived the happy idea of
preventing it by feeding lier upon can
taloupes alone; for said he with anima
tion, while a tremendous ray of intel
lectual light fall over his countenance
ami illumined his brow with a halo of
genius, i-if I feed her on cantaloupe she
can't elope then." And the fellow
laughed a real big laugh, and went to
lied that night fully satisfied that he
had made a wonderful discovery. But
alas, his plan had a tweoncholy conclu
sion, as the sequel proved, for that
very night the fellow did seek well and
the girl, as all girls will, hearkened un
to the man who hearken eth while the
old man was dreaming of the good
staying qnalities of his cantaloupes.

A War Joke on Marmaduke.
From the New York Mail and Express
Col. John Nicholas Pritchard, of St.
Louis, is a retired life insurance presi
dent and spends his time in New York,
Saratoga and Bar Harbor. He makes
New York his headquarters, where he
lived thirty-five years ago and clerked
in a bank on Pine street. The Colonel
belongs strictly to the old school in his
man ne vs. is as gallant as courtier, and
always has a rare stock of historical
stories on hand to decorate his conver
sation. He is "Yankee" to the back
bone and his wife is Southern, so
freqently they have breessy times
dicussing the various events of the late
"unpleasantness.' During the war he
was a colonel in the federal army,
stationed at St. Louis. He used to swear
that if John S. Marmaduke. the present
Governor of Missouri, was captured he.
intended to deal summarily with hint.
He and the Governor are sworn friends
now. but whenever the Colonel wishes
to stir up wife to a fever pitch of ani
mation he tells the following:
"Gen. Marmaduke was apprehended
for stealing a horse during the war.
The circumstances attending it were
ludicrous, and are still kept going in
Missouri as stock jokes against the
Governor. During a battle his horse
was shot from under him. Without
hesitation he seized upon a private's
horse which happened to be conven
ient during the melee. Springing upon
the back of the animal lie charged at
the head of hi& command through a
town. The people in the town shot
off volleys of applause, and Mar ma
duke's men roam! with unsuppressed
laughter. Their General furnished the
humor. The horse he mounted hap
pened to belong to, or rather was that
day stolen by, a private who was noto
rious for his petty brigandage. 1 he
saddle or crupper bags were filled by
the private, and ribbon streamed out of
the bags on either side of the herse,
and every few minutes a body garment
flew ont. When the General turned
in the saddle he saw to his amazement
that he looked like a flying ship with
bunting and streams kissing the wind.
As soon as the charge ended to make
matters worse, the real owner of the
horse came forward and swore the
animal had been stolen. All these
things were reported in St. Louis and
made capital to annoy the General's
friends who, although in Federal ljues.
sympathized with him.

Let Her Go !
The Salisbury Watchman Hays thore'l
is talk ot moving the nevenue (.ol-
lector s office to Salisbury that Newton
i found to Ijc out of the way, and is
without telegraphic, or banking facil
ties, and that "Collector Dowd has
already written Hon. J. S. Henderson
to the effect tha if he will do what he
can in this direction, that he the
Collector will aid him in, securing a
change to Salisbury."
We say let her go. It has 'done no
good to the Democracy of this county
or to any one else that we know of.
Hickory Carolinian.
If Cutawba dont want the office,
Salisbury will scoop it in with pleasure.
We want new business and newfieople;
we want to grow.

Stock in the South. y
One-fourth of he live stock of f le
United States is owned and fed in tl;.
South. The South has $$00,000,OIH
invested in milch cows oxen, othnr
cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and mules
The South owns one-third of the milch
cowa, oxen, other cattle and hogs of
the country, or fully her proportion
according to population. One quarter
of the sheep of the countrv are kept in
the South. The stock is here, but the
care of it is missjngr- With one-thu d
of the milch cows why do we buy but
ter and cheese north"? Want of care
and proper feed. With one-third the
hogs why do we buy pork? Want of
care; pine mast andV"root hog or die '
don't make excellent pork and bacon.
Think of this and take care of your
own, and stop making rich the dairies
and pig pens of the North and West
at t he fearf ul cost now incurred by the
South. Goldsboro Messenger.
A Negro Teacher's Notions.
A negro schoolmaster in Virginia,
after some years' experience in educa
ting his raec, declares that while negro
children take readily to learning witliin
certain limits, they do not take as
readily to education. They all want to
read and write, but having done so.
they read nothing. He thinks that for
some generations to come the grest!
majority of his race will continue mud
in their present condition, becam
living in the South is easy to peop
who are contented to live as the negro
do; and contentment, in his opinion, i
the leading vice ot his nice Christ tau
at ark.
