We see the proof of this assertion in every-day events and in the occurrences which add interest to both National and State politics. The fact is that there are a great many men who have outgrown ana outlived their usefulness, whose mission vand mandate have been exhausted, and who now ''lag superfluous on the stage." If we appealed to the oracles of cyn icism in order to sustain this assertion, it would be easy enough to get all the deliverances that were desired to substantiate the proposition. Howev er, we are not dealing with cynics just now. We are simply after facts. We think it could be abundantly demon strated that, on this basis of fact, there are mariy men, not only in the Union, but also in North Carolina, who, meta phorically spesiking, have been dead for many years, and should have been buried long before this.

All the minute articles manufactured hereto fore have been made with small tools, and in some cases with the nid of a microscope, but there is a man in Sea Beach Palace Exposition on Coney Island, who works out the most deli cate articles with a band saw 19 feet long, and revolving at the rate of over a mile a minute. Upon this immense machine, the skilled operator in my presence sawed out four chairs, all com plete with legs and backs, but so small that the four were placed on the end of a lead pencil at one time. Then a dozen knives and forks of the most diminutive size were made and placed around the lead pencil. So small were was with his wife at the play when the thev that, although the entire dozen fire broke out, and succeeded in drag- were placed round the pencil, not one ging her part way to the door, where Qf them touched the other. Then the operator trimmed his finger nails on the huge saw as cleverly and as easily as one c .mid do it with a penknife. Wetting his thumb, he pressed the ball of it into some sawdust and sawed tlie sawdust off the thumb without scratch ing the skin, yet a single nervous twitch of the arm would have cost him a hand. All sorts of curious puzzles are turned out with astonishing rapidi ty from all sorts of misshapen blocks of wood. Even articles of clothing, as thin and flexible as cloth, are worked out by this magician from little pieces of wood with his big saw. The cap he Works in was sawed out of over 1,000 pieces of wood, no two of which are of the same sizs or shape. Opinion of the President The Chicago News, on the dav of the President's arrival in that city publish ed two letters that had been forwarded to that paper from North Carolina. The first is from Bishop Lyman and is as roiiows: Dear sir: As regards Mr. Cleveland. although in former times I was an old time Whig, I can thoroughly support his policy. J think him truly honest and one who desires to ad vancp th best interests of the whole country. He is very popular in this State and is gaining every day upon the confidence of the people. His civil service policy strikes me as thoroughly sound, and I believe he more values the true inter ests of the country than mere party as cendancy. I doubt if any man can be found who would fill the presidential chair in a more honest, manly and high toned spirit. The country ought to be weary of mere political hacks, who are so ready to make everything bend to merely party triumphs. I have only time for a hurried line iu response to your letter. ' Very respectfully yours, Theo. B. Ltmak. Congressman Henderson furnishes the second letter in the following words: Dear Sir: President Cleveland's ad ministration of public affairs is gener ally approved and commended by all classes of citizens in North Carolina. His policy has been eminently conserv ative, wise and just. If North Caro lina should be called upon to decide the question there would be no doubt about his triumphant re-election.
