Ex-Go v. Hendrioks, In his inter
view with the Cincinnati Enquirer's
reporter, after saying he had never
censured Mr. Tilden even, went on to
say that a nomination was not neces
sary to his vindication that his own
election in 1876 bad done that. He
asks nothing but upon his merits. He
said, like a trne man, in conclusion:
"I shall support any man whom my party
will nominate. I barn no exclusive claim
on any nomination. The people, not aspi
rants, are the judges in sock matters. I re
gard Indiana as a Democratic State, and
would be disappointed if any nominee ef

The negro was approached and the

The arHst, who was evidently meandering

by another dark bone of contention is long

to be wondered at that such imaginary
pen and ink sketches and illustrations of
American scenes and customs, by untrav-
elled artists, should have helped to have
made tbe late war a possibility, ending in a
terrible reality ?
But many are thoughtlessly ignorant of
the many uses to which the yield of the
pine, under various names and combina
tions, are put. The following are a few of
the industries in which, in seme shape, it is
used: In the manufacture of soap, var
nish, pitch, fluid, oil, printer's ink, Oil
cloth, gas, glass, paper, lager beer, rope,
tar, camphene, paints, roofing, axle-grease.

The sailor in bis ocean home, built of yel
low pine, tbe seams of his noble ship well
cemented with pitch, the rigging made
tough and pliant with tar, sinks to rest with
a feeling of security in his well varnished
quarters, and dreams of Mary and tbe Httle
ones on land. The raiser of sheep, ea his
lonely Texas ranch, keeps always a supply
of Carolina tar on hand to apply to the
noses of his wooly family as a preventive of
disease. Mary would now be a sad little
girl had it not been for tar, for
"Mary bad a Utile lamb,
Its pulse was weak and slow,
A daub of tar upon its nose
Made that lamb set op and- go."

Ladles' Benevolent Society of Wtl
ml n gt on N . C AnUraat meeting of
Use TAlrtr-foarth Year, November
80,1879.
This Society met. ' as nrevibuslv an
nouaeed, st the Hook and Ladder Hall, on
Thursday, November 20th, for the transac
tion of its annual business. The snow,
which fell on tbe preceding night, pre
vented many from venturing oat, who
would gladly have been then.
Prayer was offered by Rev. B. R Hall,
followed by an address from Mr. Thomas
W. btrange, much to the gratification of all
present, who only regretted the limited
number or the audience.
The original rules of the Society were
read, and the customary reports, showing
that while (through the generosity of seve
ral bdnevolent citizens) tne society had
been enabled to dispense food and other
comforts, to the value of about $250, the
books show the names or but seventy
five ladies. Shall this be so again ?
Surely we ask cot too much in saying that.
for feeding the hungry and covering those
who are ready to perish, we ought this year
to record not less than two or three ban
dred. Those who can weep at imaginary
woes will surely not pass unheeded the
sufferings that really exist around us; and
we hope that the many whose absence from
oucmeeting prevented the prompt enroll
ment of their names, will remember that
our Secretary and Treasurer is ready, at
shy time, to do this service. We cannot
feel that our duty is done until the present
number is doubled, trebled, quadrupled,
and we must continue to urge till a more
general interest is awakened in this impor
tant matter.
Of the amount ($48) received at the anni
versary, nearly one-half has been already
paid out in settling the unpaid bills of tbe
year just closed.
The cards to be printed will show the re
suit of elections. The Treasurer resigned
from personal necessity. Tbe President's
resignation was not accented.
An abstract of Mr. Strange's address has
been thought of, but relinquished, leat it
should be spoiled in the attempt.
N. B. Some notice of the house pur
chased by us teat spring, may, perhaps, be
expected. 'This has been omitted simply
because the arrangements are yet too imper
fect to lay before the public. Repairs, in
part, are finished, but much remains to be
done. One occupant mUf has
