In morning twilight Earth quiescent lay, While Dawn; like smile of Gcvt, stole o'er the sky, Taling the stars and driving from the East Night clouds that darkly flecked the path of Day. Without the city's gates a garden spread Wherein the duin crept slowly, for as yet Night shadows hid beneath the broad fig-leaves. I eeil conductions. u llllt re Whcrc half-awakened birds, with drowsy twit-1 cently the sohlier was ignored, the Caught falling dewdrops. and, drunken there- on, dreamed Of luscious grapes, night-coolel and passing sweet. In fragrant purple cloisters hanging low. 'Mid shady depths of myrtle and pymrgrp.nate. Twixt grass-fringed batiks the garden stream With dreamy murmur purled along its way, Nor missed the company of the friendly stars, Nor greeting gave unto the white narcissus, Whose pale face o'er the brink leant lovingly. The air, yet heavy with th? scent of orient flowers v The bloom the livelong night, was all astir To catch the 'spicy breath of" early morn; Hyacinth and lily, dew-heavy, hung their heais, While, wearv with the long night-watch, The ccarlot tiotmv drmmed nnon the frround' 1 - , i. i j II . . . . Petals like blood-drops, marking all the way. In corner of the garden thickly grew Cypress and laurel, and the shade thereof Was as the shades of death: nor voice of bird The silence broke.

Bringing her offering'' to the tomb of Christ, whith there in huWue rock Wlis ncwlv cut. j As if symbolic of the passing night, Her form Avas draped in robj of sombre huo, Beneath the folds of which gleamed feet Of marble whiteness, sandal-shod and soi'e 1 From dust ami dew and treading by the way Of crimson poppy leaves. Beneath her arm She held a jar of spice and in her skirt Were heaps of suowy lilies from the fields Fresh-gathered. Wimple thrown back, her raven hair 1,1 lken masses hung, making a frame of tbany about il 'aeo face; Beneath her sof t dark eyes there lingered yt t mirl)i,. shadows of her niirht-sheil tears.

Among the striking characteristics of the Republican party are deceit and contempt of public opinion ; deceit be fore election, contempt of public opin ion afterwards. Its caieer has been marked by these from the beginning, but never more glaringly so than under this administration. In every platform adopted by that partv it has protesseu among tessed a m on jr othei things a deep interest in the welfare of the toiling millions, ana the special chaiupionship of the oppressed, and yet : i, 1 1 run by them and for them, its legisla tion being so framed as to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. This is the history of its tariff legMation and from the first act to the last, the last being more notoriously so than the first. The deceit and hypocrisy are so apparent in the results of the tariff laws, in relation to the manufacturer and the workingman, that it seems strange that any intelligent working man cannot see through it and com prehend without the assistance of an "educational campaign. Scarcely had the election ot Harri son been declared than the reduction of wages began in the protected indus tries of the Aorth, followed by strikes and lockouts The proprietors of these, industries were all in accord with the Republican" party, and contributed their money freely to the fund which Quay, Dudley & Co. found so effective in the campaign and on the day of election. Since the day the votes were cast, which elected Benjamin Harrison President, that party has never had a particle of interest in the working man, and will not have until another election comes around So it has been pretending for the? many years to e the particular friend and cuardian of the" enfranchised ue- r, and notwithstanding the fact the.t ever since their enfranchisement the negroes of the South have voted almost solidly for the Republican party, and that the negres in the nortljet States have also voted solidly for-it, thus giving it the control of those States arid of the Federal government as well, the negroes have never re ceived any substantial recognition from that party. In its conduct to wards them it has been characterized by the most arrant hypocrisy. In the treatment of the Union sol dier, in whom it has professed the most unbounded interest, its hypoc I 1 1 TT i .' I . distribution ot patronage, and not un til the Grand 'Xrmy of the Republic took an active interest in these niat- j ters was there any change in this re- ' spect. rov the soldier receives a ht ' tie more attenti)ii than he did former ly, lint still only enough to enable the ' arty leaders tocnitinue the pretense of being in earnest" in their protesions of interest in the soldier. Another evidence of their deceit and contempt for public opinion is fur- i mshed in then trilling with and disre gard of t lie civil service laws, for j which before the election they pro ! fessed the most sincere attachment, j Mr. Harrison wus nominated mainly j for the record he had made while in ! the Senate as a civil service reformer, with the belief that his record would secure to him the support of the Inde pendent R -publicans who hid sup ported Mr. Cleveland in 18S4 on the civil service issue, which it did. No sooner had the party come into power and the work of giving out the offices began than the Democratic heads began to fall regardless of the civil service laws, which were at once laid upon the shelf, where they now quietly rest, commanding not as much as a passing thought. Civil service was all right in the campaign, when it was useful in humbugging somebody, but they have no use tor it now that thevoters who believed in it have been humbugged. These are a few of the characteristics of the Republican party, which might be added to indefinitely. The Virgin Mary Business. Statesviile Landmark. Kindly allow me to call attention to a vulgar error which is suggested by your local of the loth inst., in regard to the virgins visit. The superstition h. if the heavens are over-cast on July 21, when Mary sets out on her journey to the hill country, we only loalc for falling weather until her return Aug. 15th. Now, our almanac marks the latter date "A. V. M.,'' which, as a matter of history, is -the d;ite on which the Catholics celebrate the feast of the Assumption, or ascent of Mary into heaven; and ha; no relation what ever to her arrival. Hence the error of fixing the duration of the vist six weeks instead of three months, which would agree with St. Luke, chapter 1, verses 21, 27, 30, 11, 50, 57. . It may be the superstition that if it rains on St. Swith"ifs day, July 15th, it will rain for forty days thereafter, has been confounded with the visit of the virgin. Assuming that on Christ mas we celebrate the pox i mate date of the birth of Christ, then the visita ion extends from about March 2 )th, to June 2tth, which is the date of the birth of John the Baptist; but, "He Urban VI fixed on this period Julv 21 when she returned from Nazar eth, rather th in on that at which she undertook her journey, because the latter being ibout the time of the com memoration of Mister, its observance could not be so well complied with, by re iso.n of the numerous and important rites which then occur." It is curious to note in this con nection, that the superstition re garding the ground hog and his shadow likewise falls on a feast-flay of the virgin. The 2 1 'of February is j Candlemas, or the feast of the Purifi- j cation. W m. Mlackmer, Salisbury, Aug. 20, 1SS9. A Plan for Getting Rid of Mosquitoos. Rohert. H. Lam born has placed in the hands of Morris J. Kesup, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, the sum of S2J0, to be paid in three prizes of $150, $3 ) awl $20, for the three best essays on the destruction of mosquitoes and flies by other insects. It is suggested that the dragon fly is an active, voracious, and hamiless "mosquito hawk," and that it might, if artificially multiplied, di minish the lumbers of the sai iller in sects. A practical plan is called for in the breeding of the dragon fly or other such destroyer in large numbers, nd its use in the larva, pupa or per- j feefc state, for the destruction of mos quitoes and flies in houses, cities and neighborhoods.

The Flood at Rockingham. i The Rockingham Rocket gives par ticulars of the damage done to the fac tories by the recent flood. At Ledlietter' factory the grist mill was moved si few inches from its foun dation. The county bridge, just below the mill, wns so badly wrecked that it will have to be rebuilt. "At Roberdel factory, two miles be low Led better's, the dam was broken and the grist mill and cotton gin building, on the east side of the pond, was swept away. Only a. portion of the dam was blown out, but what re mains is so badly wrecked that it will have to be torn away. k'Pee Dee factory, two miles below Roberdel, suffered serious loss; The great volume of water discharged by the broken dam at Roberdel swept away the old portion of the dam at Pee Dee, and the water poured with frightful force against the northern end of the building, smashing in the win dows in the lower story and flooding the weave room to a depth of four or five feet. The looms. 1G5 in number, were submerged by the seething, mud dy water, and the thread and cloth on them rendered worthless. The ma chinery is greatly, damaged. The blacksmith shop was swept away, as were also the gangways, the bridge and a lot ( f fencing. "Half a mile further down the creek was a large grist mill that tum bled into the turbid stream and was borne away on its' murky bosom. The dam is also gone. "On Falling Creek, south of town, the first damage we hear of is ut the Wiley Dawkins mill, four miles south east of town. Here the dam and grist mill were swept away. Between the Dawkins Mill and Great FaHs. Factory were three other (buns which served as reservoirs' for Great Falls. All of these broke, and the immense volume of water thus liberated rushed with awful force upon the dam at Great Falls and blew out a large section of it. Here there is a fall of thirty feet or more and the mill is situated" in the valley below the dam, and a little to one side. Had the full force of the torrent struck the mill when the dam j broke, the building would surely have gone down. 1 lie boiler house, built of brick, was swept away, and the lower floor of the mill was flooded to the depth of three or four feet. On this floor was a large lot of cloth, thou sands of yards of which is badly dam aged. Much ofuit wil probably prove a total loss. 'Just below Great Falls Factory, Hitchcock and Falling creeks come to gether and form one stream. From confluenence of the s! reams it is about one mile to Midway factor7, which probably sustained a heavier loss than any of the mills. Their dam was blown out and the factory flooded to the depth of five or six feet. The tower, to which was a tank containing several hundred feet of water, collapsed when the water struck it. The gang ways, the blacksmith shop and the boiler house were swept away, and several bales of cotton and yarn were borne off down the stream. Some of this will probably he recovered. Of course, the machinery oil the first floor is badly damaged. -'The dam of the Hamlet Woolen Mills and of Mr. Geo. J. Freeman's grist mill, on Marks Creek, were broken and the buildings slightly dam aged. The Rocket enumerates a number of other losses by damage to property, and says: "The damage to the manufacturing interests of the town will aggregate $100,000. Add to this the loss sus tained by the county in bridges, the damage to the railroad, the grist mills destroyed and the crops ruined, and the total loss will closely approximate $200,000, if it does not'go beyond that sum."

At the meeting of the executive com mittee of the board of trustees of the College of Agriculture and the Mechan ic Arts, held yesterday, much impor tant work wa- mapped out and inaug urated. The first nutter considered was that of a prospectus and descrip tive cahjogue of the institution. Primrose, chairman of the committee, adopted and ordered printed. Among other things it sets forth that the fall (first ) term of the col lege begins on Thursday, October. Ill, 1889. The session will in all probability, open with a gaol attendance of pupils from all sections of the State. There are certain requirements for entrance to the coil e. among which are thu following: Applicants mint be at least 1 1 yeais of age: hi nxt ..furnish evidence of a good moral character and physical develop ment: must be aide to read and write ordinary English intelligently and must be familiar with simple arithme tic, including the practical rules of the same, through fraction, and have a fair knowledge of geography and State History. They must, at some time preceding the opening of the season, present themselves before the county superintendents of their respective counties in connection with not less than two members, of the county board of education, and submit to an exami nation by written questions which will be prepared by the president of the college. Worthy applicants will be given certificate.- of proficiency but. will be required to p:iss sin approved examination at the college. These ex aminations apply to county students who shall go to the college under the provisions of section 8; chapter 410, of the laws of KS87. j As to the other students, the same qualifications shall apply, but the ex aminations shall be conducted by the faculty. The esti united cost of college ex penses per term of ten months for county students (tuition free) is $100; the cost per term for nay students Js put at $130. The current receipts of the institu tion, and on which it will depend for support, consist of the surplus over $20,000 of what is known as the for tilizer tax. This amount can not be stated exactly, but it has heretofore been $13,000 per annum. Besii'.es this the. college will hereafter receive the land scrip fund, amounting annul ly to $7,500. - This amount has here tofore been going to the State Univer sity. Mr. N. B: Bioughton moved that the full board of trustees be called to meet on August 30, 1880, for the purpose of electing a president to the college. The motion was adopted. The following gentlemen were pre sented before the committee for con sideration for the oflice: J. L. Stew-art, Sampson county, N. C: Geo. D. Pu rinton, Ph. D., West Virginia: J. E. Kel ley, Moore county, N. C, Alex. (). Holladav, Flordia Agricultural Col lege; Geo. V. Miles, Jr., M. A., Em ory, Va. A committee met last night and -prepared the examination questions for applicants, and confirmed the motion for a call of the college faculty for September 10 to arrange a curriculum. When Cock3 Crow. Another habit of animals that has attracted m.ich attention, and has call ed forth many explanations, all of which are more or less satisfactory, is the crowing of cocks at midnight. In the first place, there are not inuch de pendence to be placed in the cocl as a time-keeper. His crowing in the night-time varies with the seasons, his time of going to roost, etc. The ex planatio.i of the c line of hi cr aving is founded on a physiological function. Stand near a cliicken-roost early in the night, and you will hear a contin non rattliiiir sound coinimr from the - . . fowls. This sound is pi -oduced by the a)llsjes f tdie gizzard in grinding the j f()(K them. As the muscles agitate ann triturate the gravel and sand that tj)e fmls swallowed to aid digestion, the sound is given off.

New York '.Volunteer, Twentieth Army Corps, was with Shermtn on the famous march to the sea. 0n bright Sunday in December-, 1S04, the Lieutenant was detained t. take charge of the picket line in Iroiit of Snvan nah, ou the edge of rice swam p. There ' was a truce between the pickets, and everything wore a Sabbath-like stillness. Coryell had nothing to do and was out of tobacco. How to get a chew was the question. Finally a lmnd some yming official from t he-Confederate side strolled out between the lines. Coryell hailed him at oncef "I say, Johnny, if I cum? over to you can I get, tobacco and return safelr to my lines?'' uCome along, I'll treat von right." "How do I know that Tli not be taken prisoner?" "Yon have the word of a gentleman ' and a Confederate officer." Coryell thought a moment and then decided to make the venture. He laid aside his sword and belt and started across the high and narrow dike lead ing to the Confederate line. On -either side of thelike the water in the fields was five feet deep. rice The lieutenant reached the opposite shore without any misgivings. The ; Confederate produced- some tobicc -and a trade was made it no time Then the two fell into pleasant'" con versation. Suddenly Coryell saw a signal flutter from a house some distance in the rear of the Cmi federate line. "What does that mean?' he atkedl sharply. j ll.tlon't know replied - the Confed erate. Just then arr orderly dashed up on horseback and with 'a dignified saute saittto a Confederate officer: "Lieutenant, the General orders you to take the Yankee officer to heitd rrnarters." " Coryell was dumbfounded. Then he looked at the Confederate lieuteuant and noted his honest eyes-nnd his man ly face. 'Am I your prisoner?' aked Cor yell. " The Confederate extended his right hand. "I offered you my prof ect ion," he said. "Go to your lines. I will fid low you over the dike, and if fli.V body can shield you from Confederate lead, you shall reach your command in safety. Good-bye, ami od ble your1 Tiie federal started ou his return trip. He was hr.lf way across when the fiist shot came. There was another, and another, until a whole brigade seemed to Iw tiring at him. The fugitive walked rapidly onward until he reached the Federal lines and vaulted over the breastwork. Then he looked back and saw his protectoj: standing m the dike.
