A Friend in Need.
The following story, is related by the
Washington correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution:
The other evening I witnessed an in
cident which was an eloquent answer to
the slanders of the Southern people on
the negro question. I was standing in
the Metropolitan hotel when an aged
negro went up to Gen. Ransom - and
genial Zeb Vance, who were conversing
in the lobby. In a few minutes I saw
them go out with the old negrt between
them just as if he were a United- States
Senator, take him to the ticket office
next doer, buy him a ticket to Carlotte,
and put him in a hack which took him
to the depot with a crisp $5 bill in his
hand. He had been in Virginia for
some time but longed-for his home in
the old North State, telling Vance that
he wanted to die 'Jon the old planta
tion." It was1 tod much for the warm
hearted 'tar:heel." Money and mois
ture came at once, aad to day there is
one happy negro in North Carolina. ,
Tlio Death of Mr. Hahn.
Mr. W. D. Mahn after a Severe illness
of twenty-eight days, died at his resi
dence in this city last evening, at 8
o'clock, of typhoid fever. The subject
of this notice was born in Pender, then
New Haaover county, on April 11th,
1828, and was at the time of his death
53 years and 14 days old. He removed
to this city when a yomg man and has
always made a good and law-abiding cit
izen. He was a consistent member of
the Front Street M. E. Church and was
'for many years one of the Board of
Stewards of that church. He "was for
four year3 One of the Board of Au
dit and Finance of the city. Mr. Mahn
wa3 a member of Carolina Lodge No.
434, Knights of Honor, and his remains
were followed by the Lodge to their last
resting place this afternoon. The beau
tiful ritual of the Order was read over
the remains at the grave.

Death, of an Octogenarian.
Mr. Jacob Taylor, of Magnolia town
ihip,Duplin connty,died on,Thursday,the
21st inst., at the residence of his son, "J.
Wells Taylor, Esq., aged about 8"? years.
The deceased was a pensioner of the
government, having been a soldier in the
last war with Great Britain. 1 He never
had a day's sickness during his entire
life, and the writer has frequently heard
him say that he had heard others com
plain of pains and aches, but personally
he knew nothiag about them. We saw
him but a few weeks ago, when he was
as active and cheerful as many who are
twenty years his junior. He lived with
out sickness and died without disease,
but merely a painless wasting away of
the vital forces. He had been for half
a century a consistent and conscientious
member of tbe Baptist Church, and dur
ing his long, useful and exemplary life
no word of calumny was ever breathed
against him. An humble Chris tain, a
kind-hearted friend, neighbor and lather,
of him it may be truly said: 'A good
man has departed."
. ) War History
The Southern Historical Papers for
March which we have not been able to
review before it is at hand, and contains
an nnusualjoumber of iateresting papers,
among which we notice the gallant Gen
eral James H. Lane's repiy to General
Harriss, of Mississippi, about the" occu
pation and defense of Battery Gregg.
General Harriss, it seems, belonged to
Mahone's division arid apparently irabaed
with the same Fpirit of his valiantr chief
he appropriates the honors, that belong
to others. ' .
General, Lane- commences his article
with a dig into Mahone's ribs, in the fol
lowing style:
During the war I had no newspaper
correspondent at my headquarters, nor
did I write anything about my brigade
for publication. Since I have "put
aside the harness of war and become a
quiet and plodding citizen" I have, by
request, and "for the sake of truth and
j us tice,'1 written a few articles,.in which
I endeavored to give only such facts as
cameuidermy own observation. Now,
unasked, I must again obtrude mysclt
"most reluctantly" upon the public" as
General Harriss in the last No., 1880,
of the Southern Historical Society Pa
pers, does my old brigade and myself
great injustice.
General Lane then produces the proof
by irrefragable testimony that the'honor
and credit of the heroic defence of Bat.
tery Gregg belonged to Lane's brigade
of North Carolinians. General L., after
famishing incontestable proof of the
prominent part borne by his brigade,
says :
We deny that "the infantry garrison
of Fort Gregg was composed entirely of
the Mississippi brigade of Mahone's
division." We deny that the honors of
that defence belong exclusively to that
brigade of Mahone's division. We claim
that the largest part of the infantry
which so heroically defended that fort
was from our brigade of North Caroli
nians. General Lane, although a Virginian
himself, always speaks up nobly and fear
lessly -for North Carolina troops, and
particularly for his splendid brigade of
Carolinians.
The periodical which contains General
Lane's communication,con tains also many
other valuable contributions to the truth
of history concerning those turbulent
times of war. The magazine is pub
lished monthly at Richmond, Va., and
shomld be in the hands of every Southern
man and woman. The subscription is
only $3.00 a year. Address Rev. J.

Office Chief Signal Officer, f
Washikgtox.i D. C, April 26th, 1881.,
2:50 P. M.
The Chief Signal Officer furnishes the
following special bulletin to the press:
The area of low barometer which at
yesterday's readings report was central
near St. Paul has moved eastward across
the Lakes and is now central North of
Kingston, Ontario. Rain has fallen dar
ing the past tweuty-four hours in Texas,
and in ail districts East of the Missis
sfppi except? New England. The winds in
the. Lake Region haye veered ter West-
erlvJ the temneratnre baa fallpn frnm
five to fifteen degrees in the upper Mis
sissipp,Xih3yand the Southern portisn
of the upper! Lake Regions It; bat risen
sUghtly in the extreme Northwest. The
M issouri River is seven feet and ten
inches above the danger line at Omaha,
and two inches above it at Leavenworth.
It is at the dansrer .line at Mem
phis and Vicksburg, one inch below it at
New Orleans and two inches at St.
Louis. The indications are that the
depression near Central of Ontario will'
move Northeastward to the St. Law
rence Valley and that cloudy weather
wim ram win prevail in iNew Jingiana
to-day followed by clearing weather.
Fair weather will prevail in the Middle
Atlantic States to-day and to-morrow
preceded by1; local rains to-day. The
Missouri and Mississippi will probably
continue to rise and the latter to reach
the danger line at St. Louis toay.
We hear that Mr. W. D.. Mahn . had
insurance policies amounting to 20,000
on his life.
This has been the hottest day of the
season thus far. The thermometer
reached 82 in this office at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
Soda fountains did a good business in
dispensing the cooling 'liquid to day, to
say nothing of the Deep Rock and Vichy
that was imbibed by the thirsty way
farer.
Mr. J. C. Lumsden has opened his Ice
Cream Saloon for the season, and is is
full blast now ready to serve ladies, and
gentlemen, or picnics and excursion par
ties.
We are f glad to be able to state
that there is a marked change for the
better in the condition of our Chief, and
although still quite sick, we hope to be
able to report his rapid convalescence
in a few days. I
.
Disagreeable acquaintances and bright
exchanges are universally cut.
