J. "W. D. A NOBLE DEED- The Invalid Ana The Violinist. I regret than an unavoidable circumstance has prevented the earlier 'fulfillment of my prom ise to prepare for the Advance a short sketch of the lamented Dunham; connecting there with some . reminiscences, per sonal and otherwise, of the town, about ana just before the period of the war. This gal lant and gifted young man came into car midst as a school boy, about the year '59. At that time three large and flour ishing schools a military school for boys, of which he was a cadet, and a bearding school for young ladies, both nuder the superintendence of Dr. Deems, and a'lhixed school, conducted by IV. S.l Richardson, one of the most ipopular and successful educators the State has ever known, had literally ) packed the town wjth boys and girls, from every part of Easts em Carolina; they filled al most every home ir the vil lage, as boarders, and their presence lent to society here a charming freshness and vivac ity, it will never know again. Besides this, Dame Fortune had brought together here, as if by intent, that happy combination of character, and every social element necessary to, render the community attractive and enjoyable. The teachers and professors in the several schools were, with scarcely an excep tion', ladies and gentlemen of the highast culture and refine ment, and constituted a liter ary circle, of which a more pretentious town than Wilson might have been proud. In the Methodist pulpit we had the monthly ministrations of Thomas G. Lowe, -whose elo quence was almost angelic; surely, nothing sweeter or more heavenly will ever be heard this side the pearly gate. Dr. Deems delighted the people with an occasional sermon, and Joel W. Tucker, one of the most intellectual men that ever faced a North Carolina audi enee, preached bi-monthly ; lie was ah acute metaphysician, a profound reasoner, a fluent aud iorcioie speaner, aim later on, did what he-ould to verify the aphorism of old Sam. Joansou, that "Preachers talk like angels I and live like inen." 1 rhe Primitive Baptist pulpit was statedly supplied by the veneraoie lc.niboa Moore, a, man of patriarchal presence, who preached the truth, as he held it, with all the- fearless ness and rugged simplicity cf John Knox. At the bar, George Howard, then a young man. whose social qualities were as? rich as his legal learning was sound, was laboriously earning the reputa tion that was to win him a seat upon the bench. Then we had, also, that brilliant young bar rister, Billy Burin, the pet and Idol of the town, the very prince and paragon of clever fellow?, whose untimely death sent a pang ot sorrow to a thousand hearts ; also those two "Sons of Thunder," Ben and Jesse Barnes, men of cease less euergy and of strong and sturdy sense, the latter of whom sealed his devotion .to li's country's cause, with a soldier's death. Prominent among me medi cal fraternity, stood Dr. Buck ner Still.-,', with the majestic mien of the Consul Marius, blending in his intercourse with tlte people, the politeness of Che-terfield, with the court ly 'Iwnity of Buckingham, a splendid typj of the old school gentleman. Among the merchants, the versatile and voluble William B, Myers, familiarly called ''Boss," who, when everyone present had told his best tale, could lell a better ; and Jona than 1). Bountree, beloved of "all. the friend of : everybody, Uh the incisive wit of Sydney Smith, sure of a laugh at some spiv's exnense. wherever h I eht ; and Major Jordan, clev- vi courteous ana oonging lo the last degree, whose irresitt af'lu penchant for military ftnlegy, led'him ta march and counter march the. army of Northern Virgina, . daily upon paper, to the edification of curious crowds, and who, but f"r the failure of Gen. Lee to adopt and successfully execute "'I plana of battles and. cam paigns, would to-day occupy a 'jche in history by the side of .Jon-Moltke; aad Louis D. Ar'iuer, the brave old ' soldier Nor would our survey be complete if we . omitted the name of our venerable; friend, Gen Barue3, who, at that day, was never so happy as when contributing to the enjoyment of the young: always ready by his presence or his purse, t promote the prosperity of the town, or enhance the happiness of the people ; mdeed-'if space allowed, we might extend the list indefinitely with characters rich and raro, that graced the annals of -the town jat that period of it3 history, and whoso wit and wisdom, or amusing ec centricities, gave to, its every day social life, a picqutucy and? flavor altogether indescribable. This, indeed, was fthel golden age of Wilson ; it was -the time before pride and selfishness and social snobbery, and aristo cratic tom-foolery, andj shoddy pomposity and" cor.cpit had come to stay. " But tht era of enjoyment was destined soon to end. Ominous clouds were al ready fast gathering ! in the kies ; the low, hoarse thunders of war were almost' audible in the distance : the storm was brewing, that was soon to sweep liKe a wild -rbirocco through the land, bearing upon its wings, desolation and death. It came, and old and sacred as sociations were severed by its ruthless touch, and families were scattered like chaff before the wind : the din of iprepara- tion for the mighty struggle. filled the very air ; the public mina was frenzied with rage and excitement ; preachers and pe jple alike turned from the altars of the god of peace, and invoked the favor of the god of war; ihe avocations of peiatee were at an end, the plqw stood in the furrow, the -merchant closed his store, tbej artisan threw down his tools, the halls of learning were deserted, the people rushed to arms, and those brave aad blessed hoys, whose m-erry shouts so'Iatelj echoed our streets, cast away their books, forsook their youthful sports, and crowded iii the ranks, , some 'of..- them scarcely stopping -to bid aiieu to the loved ones ait home, pressed with impatient ardor to the front, only to lay their sweet young lives a jsad, sad acrifice upon their country's altar. ' How sickening the thought from the standpoint of to-day! . j It was at i this momentous crisis that the people of Wilson county came to know; and ap preciate John W. Dunham. ' As a schoolboy in our midst, he had been admired for his cour tesy, his manliness, the bril liancy of "his conversational powers, the ease withjwhich.be outstripped his competitors at the public exercises of the school, his magnificent decU- mation, and other things that marsed him as a- youth or re markable promise. The occasion wras now at hand that was td reveal his nobler nature ; he was henceforth to be known as a man of energy, and; courage, of iudomitable will j and of chivalrous aud heroic spirit ; the services he rendered at this time in organizing, instructing and drilling the troop?, ca never be estimated. Possesiin a. thorough knowlfidira of inilt tary tactics, and being withai an accomplished drill inBster,1. his services were demanded i every direction, and the bono which Wilson countv has al ways claimed, of being amon th first, if not the fi'rst count to respond to the Governor'?? call with a body of. thoroughl organized and wellj driller soldiers, is doubtless due aO much to the zeal, untiring en-, ergy . and efficient services ol . this young man, as to any nthei t cause. The first company or ganized in the county was com posed almost wholly 'ot youngj men of the town and vicinitw and of- the schools, and Duty ham was chosen first ljeutenan and when the boys bade aditfi at the depot to friends, amid the prayers and tears bf mothl era and sisters and started upo their mission of priviation an peril, suah had been his gai aljiuys evinced a ; thorough kbomledge of the principles of la involved in the matter in hencl, and applied the principle to bis facts, and stated his case to toe jury in that clear, concise and forcible manner that rarely faiiep to carry cnvictiou: He p.ssissed that order of a ind that eminently qualifies one to g-af pie with the dry abstrac t ins of the law, aud with prop e: application, would hav &,;liieved enineut Buccess, but tiii inclinations led him iu uother direction, and sharing upon the affectionate Regard our peopie, that scarcely on carried with him heartier bene dictions or sincerer Dtayers fq his welfare aud safety, than Ii this young stranger. ' I It is needless to trace bis fti- ture career. The dmirabh sketch copied into your col umns from the Wiilmingto i Messenger, does : this woiv faithfully than I could hope to do. and with brier reiereDce io his 'services to the people 4f leintensa political excitement ok that day, he sought si.d uad a more congenial field of j tf'.rt, one more alluring to liis i rfent and aggressive nature. alui less exacting in its de- iljuds upon his time and ener- rfws, tnan the law. About this time, Major lI?irue, a writer of marked Dility, began in WTilso'i the i dication of the Ntrth Caro i:an, and Dunham became co tlitor Under their able man inent, it immediately took o-ition iu the front rank of .rnalism in the State and be- (Biae the leading and boldest f-ender of the people's rights. ieariessness witn wmcn it eaounced the tyran'uical meas res of the State and Federal cvernment, and the unsparing verity of its criticisms of men ia high places of authority, ex- d'ed in the minds of their trends, in that day of military ctation and repression, the uvest fears as to their per- o"al safety. The leading ar icls of this paper, it is under ;ood. were usually written by tii'or Dunham, and were of the uBheat order of journalistic Iftiature. In loftiness of tone, pf lar, graphic, vigorous style, irich classical allusion, ape i beautiful lauotations. in ste and elegant diction, and ne graceiui rytnmic roll or Has perioa3, one was .iorciDiy reiilnded of the incomparable Slealers in the old Louisville Joirual, iWhen Prentice drove thtquill. it was not, however, at the bar or at the editor's desk, that Dfnham won his brightest laurels, but as the champion of the people when, in the stormy days of reconstruction, he con tended for a supremacy of the native whites, aud exposed the : corruptions and usurpations of the Radical party, that he rose to his greatest height. It would be impossible to convey ti one who was not a partici pant in the brilliant campaigns which he led in this county at that period, an accurate idea or the splendid power he exhibit edi' It can ouly be imagined by it visible effects upon the politics of the county after a lapse of nearly twenty years. Much good work has been done in all subsequent campaigns since that day, and many of the aljlest speakers of the State hpjve addressed the people here in their popular assemblies, but it 6s questionable whether, in al the elements of fine forensic effort, the speeches of John "W, Dunham, iu those memorable catmpaigns, have ever been equaled. He had now reached a higher m&rk in the enthusiastic regard of! our people than it has fallen to the lot of any other man to have enjoyed. He loved the people with his whole heart and served them with his entire strength, and in return, they honored him with their conn denca. and gave him love for love. His work with us was now About accomplished : his lm perious will could no longer hold at bay his on a unconquer able foe. His unwonted activ ity had aggravated his wound uutil he was obliged to seek the seclusion of his pom for days' and weeks together, and there brought face to face with the inevitable, he became gloomy and. despondent, and doubtless, there, at times, dur ing the lonely watches of the night, When pain and fever had banished slumber from his couch, in imagination, he felt the touch of a soft hand upon his aching brow, or upon his ear there fell the sweet accents of a gentle voice, awakening mem ories tLat bore him back to a spot In the distant past, where in infancy and ebildhood, &n lahgtl form bent above him and I isoothed his sorrows with a gttympathy sweeter and more s-acred far, than the ministra- ti-ions of friendship could An old and infirm soldier was playing his violin one evening on the Prate.in Vienna. His faithful dog was holding his hat, in which passers by dropped a few coppers as they came along. However, on the evening in question, nobody stoppod to put a small coin into the poor old fellow's hat. Fvery one went straight on, and the gauty of the crowd abided to the sorrow in the old soldier's heart, and showed itself in his withered countenance. However, all at once, a well dressed gentleman came up to where he stood, listened to his piayiug for a few minutes, and gazed compassionately upon him. Ere long, the old fiddler's . . . -. - weary I'hana naa no longer treugth to grasp his bow. His imbs refused to carry him farther. He seated himself on a stone, rested his head on his hands, and began silently to weep. At that instant the getleuan approached, offered the old man a piece of gold, and said: "Lend me your violin a ittle while," Then, having carefully tun ed it, he said: "You take the money, and I'll play." He did play! All the passers by stopped to listen and struck with the distinguished air of the musician, and captivated by his marvelous genius. Lvery moment the circle became lar ger ana larger. ioi copper alone, but silver, and even gold was dropped into the poor man's hat. The dog began to gr-jwl,' for it was becoming too heavy for him to hold. At an iuvitation from the audience, the invalid emptied its contents into his sack,aud they filled it again. After a national melody, in which every one present joined, with uuepvered hands, the violinist placed the instrument upon the poor man's kiees.and, without waiting to be thanked, disappeared. "Who is it?" was asked on all sides. "It is Armand Boucher, the famous violin player," replied some one in the crowd. "He has heen turning his art to account in the service of chari ty. Let us follow his example." And the speaker also sent round his hat, and made a new collection, and gave the pro ceeds to the invalid, crying, "Lng live Boucher!" , Deeply affected, the invalid lifted up his hands ana eyes towards Heaven, and mwtea God's blessing on his benef ac- or. Phat evening there were two . . i happy men in v lenna, mw nvalid, placed for a long time above the reach of want, ana the generous artist, who felt in his heart the joy which always repays the bestowal of charity.

A majority want Hon. r. M. Simmons, a man worthy, pro ficient and capable in every respect, for president, while others would prefer any one to the present incumbent. If Gov. Fowle wants to win the admiration of the East, let him change the management of the above mentioned railroad, but on the other hand if he wants the condemnation of the East, then let him retain the present management and I will assure him for all time tocjme, as far as politics is concerned, he will be a "dtad cock in the pit," in the East. Mark the prediction. Kinston corres pondent of the Raleigh News Observe?. Can't Raise Too Huch Grass. Hay and There is not much danger of any farmer raising too much hay.

There seems to be quite a commotion all over the coun try not anything thrilling or alarming, but the public se renity seems to be disturbed. General Harrison has had a hard o'J time selecting cabinet timDert L.ise en old farmer who is hunting a board tree, he has to chip out a great many before he finds one that will do and even then he may make a mistake. Some won't split smooth, some are too brash, some too twisting aud some. won't split at all. I hope the General has selected good trees, bit he can't tell from chipping. hen he begins to rive the boards I'm afraid he will find some timber that will only split bastard fashion, and some that are badly warped and will have to b weighted down. But I reckon he has done his best, considering the character of the timber in the political forest. It is hard to find a good, straight, well-grained treu in those woods. Then there is that awful state of affiirs iu Connecticut thai we read about. The llev. Mr. Wheeler preached a sermon in New Haven two weeks ag in which he said that one-half of the society men in that re fined city were engaged dili gently in trying to get the wives of the other half. He said that this assertion would bring smiles to some ftcs a- d tears to others, aLd that the women were as corrupt a the men, and the clubs an 1 hotels were dens of debauchery and corruption. The picture he drew ot northern society iu the upper crust is just awful to I contemplate.. Then there .is that northern outrage at .Man chester, in the old granite State, that is too foul to write about. Their1 owu papers say I it has been going on for months and the victimized women did not dare to tell ot it. I am afraid that it is not eo unpopu- lar a bu-iness as they make out, or it would have been stopped long ago. Down here we would have sent for Judge Lynch and disposed of those fellows in double quick. I wish, that we could do something for that people, but, we can't. If we were to send missionnries there it would do no good, for they have already got Moses and the ! prophets and Bill Chandler and if they will no hear them they would not hear an angel from Heaven. The trouble with New Eng land is she has too much tran scendental, sublimated refine ment. There are a great many folks who have too much edu cation. When it is properly mixed with vork and moral training a man can't have too much, but without the-e it is the curse of the nation. The very latest statistics prove that crima is increasing much faster than population. All sorts of crime murder, thett, forgery, drunkenness, debauchery aud general cussedness. Honesty, industry, truth and morality are at a discount in the great cities, especially among the rich and the politicians. These virtues flourish only in the country among the respectable working classes not among the graduates of colleges, but among the coinmou school people who hae enough learn ing to make them enjoy their leisure in reading and not enough to destroy their fitness tor the honest toil of human life. Most of our race have got to work for a. living, and this high college training, somehow or other, breeds an Inclination to dodge it. Over an1 over again it has been proven that in proportion to population- there is five times as much crime in educated New Eng land as there is amopg the un educated peoule of the South. Illiteracy in New Hampshire averages only six , per cent, of their population, while ours is tweuty-four per ceii.., and yet their cases of crime avr age one to every ten persons, while ours is -one to every ninety of our whites, and every twenty-two of the negroes. This shows the difference in the moral training of the two sections. In New Hampshire there is one divoice to every nine marriages, while at the South it is only one in sixty- flve.v There is up.thf-re a grow ing looseness of morals in the relation of man and wife, and this will account for the Man chester outrage and the lack of anything like summary punish ment of the four brutes they have behind the bars. We see this looseness in their litera ture, their dime noyels, spec-. tacujir, draina and even their I down south bring it with them ' unless every young man in town which said: Mr Dearest : A telegram calls my husband suddenly away.

Well, that was just a sign a pointer just like a woman winking at a man as she passes him on the street. It was just enough to let our young men know that she show was not quite decent. It was just a little molasses to eaten but it had poison in it all the same. If there had been a rolicking married woman in the town by the name of Grace and her husband was aay and there might have been half a dozen in a sciape. A young man told me he thought that his letter was all genuine but to save his life he couldn't epot the married woman whose name was Grace. 1 wish they vould keep their old hamftug shows at home. It is as much as we can do to preserve the morals of our community from the common disasters that are iudigeuous to our latitude, and we don't waut any forelgu foes to come. Blackburn may pull Chandler's ears into haine strings, but that don't helps us. It only reforms one man. I reckon we will have to send General Kosser up there and iethiuipull every man's ears vho don't behave. He talks :iko he Cuuld do it, ana I reckon he felt like it while he vas talking. But w don't vant any more fighting or brag ;ing. ' It has been twenty-five years since we got whipped.and uost al! the men wh did the fightiugare dead, JL it is too ate to brag now. The Youth's Companion is a great paper for the family, and is in mauy a household in the . outh, aud is helping to mould the characters of our children and it talks peace and good will all the time. In a late numher it has an editorial on the negro problem that is worthy of note, lor it .'was written on purpose ana witn gooa intent, it says that t is a serious problem and concerns the north as well as the south. It says it seems to be a fact that lp to this timo the negro has not made any satisfactory progress in science or art or literature or inversion uuless he had some white blood u his veins but tbat the ex- eriment must go on for. a generation or two so as to see what education will do for him and whether the two races can ive together. It says that the prejudice against the negro is jusc as strong at the north as at south, and telli of a recent case where a very, genteel black negro went to every barbershop in a northern city of fifteen thousand people, but was re- msed admittance because of his olor. It is very kind, considerate editorial, but like all northern philanthropists, the editor is to far away from the negro to speak advisedly, He attaches too much importance to e luca tion as a reformer or as an ele vatorwithout moral training it does not make men better or happier, but the contrary. The truth is, the negro has been in traiuing for a century, Thous ands of them were the confi dential trusted 1-ousehold servants, and grew up with their master' cuildreu, and ould read, aud they absorbed knowledge by contact. And hence those old negroes are good citizens now, but just as soon as ireeaom came ana ; severed their companionship.! aud the young negroes were sent to school, their race in stincts returned, and they de generated in morals and became educated vagabonds. Thous ands of them Lave graduated in the colleges and are no ac count. They are not doing anything that is honest or reputable. The muscle the Creator gave them as an en dowment is wasted. They arej not masons or carpenters or farmers some of them are preachers and gome teachers. The barbers are the most re spectable of the race, and most of them are mixed blood. What moral lesson does XxYzZ teach to anybody? Is the educated negro less iuclined to eteal or to gratify his passion? It is just as natural for a-negro to steal as it is for a white man to cheat in a trad. The differ ence is; the white man has got a conscience that checks' him up a little, but the uegro has none, so far a3 two of the com mandments are concerned. What have the arts and scien ces taught the people of New Hampshire in relation to their marriage vows? Advanced edu cation is entirely tnQ big a thing in this country. There are too many college boys and college girls. They should not b sent to college away fioin home and parental influence, I it. Elihu Barrett v e great astronomer got his at the anvil. Thomas A Edison, the great inventor never hal but a few months schooling and he got that from bis ra.;her. The rest he got in a telegraph office, buj his good mother's influence was over him all the time. A college education luL'ht' have ben fitted him or it might have ruined him, who knows. Bill Xep.
