We publish elsewhere the Poet
Laureate's last poem. It was sent by
cable to the New York Herald. It
does look as if the great poet does
not believe in immortality. There
is a stanza in that greai poem, "In

ly towards universal salvation.
Seymour is said to have a very
large following in Connecticut, and
it is increasing daily. It was thought

An important movement is said to
be on foot among the Southern col
ored voters to compel the Republi
cans at Chicago to place the name of
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, on the
ticket as Vice President. This is
true ,we trustl It is a very proper
movement. The negroes have been
voting for fifteen . years to keep the
Republican whites in office, and it is
full time that their services were be
ing substantially . recognized. The
Philadelphia Times, Independent,
thus places the matter before the
country :
"Milton Turner, a leading colored man
and Minister to Liberia under Grant's ad
ministration, is authoiHy for the statement
that a movement has been on foot for
months among the colored leaders of all
sections of the country, hut particularly in
the South, having for its object the nomi
nation at Chicago of United ritatea Senator
Brace, of Mississippi, a colored man, for
Vice President on the Republican ticket. A
Bruce literary bureau will be opened at
; Washington within a few days and the Bruce,
boom made as big as possible. The col
ored people will endeavor to strike a bar
Rain with the third-term managers, because
tbey profess to have the greatest amount of
interest in the welfare of the colored peo
ple, and a ticket composed of Grant and
Bruce would be just the thing. Mr. Tur
ner says the time has gone' by when the
jjegro is simply the political instrument of
the white man, and as the colored voter is
expected to pull through two or three,
Southern States for the Duke of America
he cannot well be overlooked."
; We have seen no report as yet of
Senator Vance's speech on the Kel
logg case. It appears to have been a
good oue, and the humorous speaker
inade so raj fun as he progressed. We

x;opy the louowing irooi a vvasn-
lugton letter in the Philadelphia
LPress, a cantankerous Radical sheet:
"Vance continued by reading some of
the cipher telegrams and translating them
as the Committee supposed tney scouia
read. One ran aa follows:
" 'lo Gen. A. A Badger.CoUedor of Customs,
JSew Orleans:
"'Please crown ash and zebra fan per

? "Mr. Vance translated it thus:

while Sherman is absent. Hawley is a little
easier. Sherman away this week. .
" 'Kkixogo.'
i "Air. Vance supposed the Senator from
Louisiana would correct him if his translation-
was wrong, and, Mr. Kellogg having
left the Chamber, raised a laugh by reciting
the well known lines:
fle smiled a kind of sickly emile and curled
up on the floor,
-And the subsequent proceedings interested
:- him no more.'

Hade: "North Carolina has been very pro
lific in meteorites. No less than fifteen
different 'falls' are recorded and credited to
this State. Buncombe,' Haywood, Ran
dolph, Rockingham, Nash, Madison and
Davidson counties have furnished meteo
rites. The Nash county fall (1874) was of
stone, not of iron. In the last month I
have heard of two new ones in this State
and have hopes of soon bringing them to
light.
Raleigh Visitor: We learn from
a source entirely reliable that the firm of
W. T. Blackwell & Co., of Durham, on
yesterday effected a sale of $500,000 worth
of their smoking tobacco to a Chicago
firm, for cash. This is the highest sale of
the kind ever made in this State.
Raleigh can boast of having the poorest
market in the South. Nothing but a small
quantity of spring salads and onions, with
an occasional spring chicken, about the
size of a sparrow, which the owners gene
rally ask from 25 to 30 cents apiece for.
Lenoir (Caldwell) lopic : The
peaches are nearly all killed in this section.
There may be a few left but only a very
few. The cherries are all killed, and the
crop of apples will be small. The pears
are also killed. Measure 200 feet on
each side and you will have a square acre
within an inch. Wheat is looking
well.. Fresh fish sell here for ten cents
per pound. The dried fruit crop of
North Carolin a is valued at $400,000.
Miss Painter, the noted revivalist, is now
at Rutherford College, where Bhe is preaeh
ing to large congregations.
Nashville, Nash county, corres-J
pondent of Uoldsboro Messenger: "Among
the visitors to our town yesterday we had
the pleasure of meeting Maj. George Eyans,
who is now in the ninety-seventh year of
his age. He is now, we think, the oldest
man in the county; his step is yet elastic,
his mind is bright still; he says he was in
the army of 1812, that he was in the militia
service. The Major says that he is now in
a few steps of his centennial year, that he
can, with pleasure, look back in the dark
past for nearly a hundred' years with the
happy consolation that he has never given
any person, intentionally, any cause for
offeuse, or done any man an injury. Verily
he is an honest man, the noblest work of
God.
Reidsville Times: Parham Bo
ley, a saddler in Milton, a man of fine fame,
and with all the imposing pomp of the judg
ment day, yet imagined that be was a
horse from having drunk too much liquor.
Ed. Howard, a well known printer, bridled
him up and led him down the street, Boley
sometimes kicking up behind, and neighing
at a terrible rate. He led him to water aU
the Country Line creek, and tied him in the
stall just back of Wrastead & Smith's store.
He would let no one approach him but
Howard.and he chewed complacently upon
two bundles of fodder placed in his rack.
But when the old thing died out he found
himself too securely tied to the stable rack,
and there he thirsted till morning when
they turned him loose.
Charlotte Press: It is a settled
fact that Mr. Geo. N. Talcott. a brother
of the Superintendent of the R- & D. R.
R., has been appointed Superintendent of
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail
road. In the Raleigh Municipal elec
tion in this city on yesterday, the Dem
ocrats elected eleven and the Republicans
six of the Aldermen . The Board of Alder
men elect the Mayor and city officers.
Concord and Statesville elected Democratic
Mayors and Boards, and Durham and
Hlllsboro ditto. In Monroe, George
McClarty, Democrat, was elected and a
Democratic Board of Commissioners also.
The Republicans carried Salisbury

lican Board of Town Commissioners.

Tbe Question mt ProtUMtlon at smith-
villa. - - v Y ' 7 .
There seems to be a difference of opinion
as to tbe interest taken in the question of
"prohibition" at Smithville on 'Monday.
Our correspondent in yesterday's issue
claimed that the anti-prohibitionists did
not rally their forces, whereas a gentleman
from Smithville who was in the city yes
terday claims that they did their "level
best." He also says that the prohibitionists
have good authority for the assertion that
the election was strictly legal, as expressing
the will of the people, and that the result
will be lawful and binding. Our Smith"
rille friend also says that the colored people,
as a general thing, took a decided stand in
favor of the "dry" ticket.
The JUratery solved.
It has now been ascertained that a young
man by the name of Lester E. Smith, an
swering to the description of the one allud
ed to in our last, did come here in the
schooner O. M. Forier, and there is now no
donbt that he is the son of Mr. Albert
Smith, of Ellsworth, Maine, from whom in
quiries were received by Chief of Police
Brock, and not tbe young man who an
swers to the name of McLauchlin. Young
Smith left the vessel while here and
shippedjon the German brigantine Clara,
bound for Rotterdam, which cleared from
this port on the 17th of April . Chief Brock
has transmitted tho facts in the case to Mr.
Smith, at Ellsworth.

A CARD.
Mb. Editor: Your -report of the pro
ceedings of the County Convention of
Bladen county seems to have lost sight
altogether of any one else's strength in that
county save Major C. M. Stedman's. I
therefore take this means of informing you
of certain facts not published in the account
given in- the Stab, and am ready to give
you my authority if necessary. Instead of
there being a solid Stedman delegation, I
am reliably informed that four townships
withdrew from that Convention, refusing
to vote as a unit, and declaring their right
to vote as they Baw proper at the District
Convention.
Respectfully,

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con
vinced that Mrs. Winalow's Soothing Syrup .was
Just the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife
with what he had done, she refused to have it ad
ministered to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in
suffering, and tbe parents without sleep. Returning
home the day following, the father found the baby
still worse, and while contemplating another sleep
less night, the mother stepped from the room to at
tend to some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he admlalBtered
a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con.
tinned to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial
of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby,
and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sola
