BEBNABD. ; I WILMINGTON, N. C. Satubdat Evknino, Aug. 8, 1885 EVENING EDITION ARCHIBALD HENDERSbN. I This distinguished native of North Carolina was the son of Judge Rich ard Henderson, of the Revolutioni His mother was a daughter of Lord; Keeling: He was born in Granville county and was a brother of the em ment Chief Justice, Leonard Hen derson. The Legislature desired to place Archibald on the Supreme Court Bench of the State, but hej declined saying that one of the fam ily was quite enough We learned this interesting fact from the late Hon. Hugh Waddell, whose memory we revere. : We knew him from ourj .boyhood and it was a letter from him to the late William: J. Bingham that secured a place for us in his school of thirty boys when that was his limitt Oaks. ; - We have heard 1 the same thing concerning Mr. Henl derson and the Bench from1 another "person. , .

Their faces were very strong-noble! iforeheads; prominent noses," protru ding chins, firm-set jaws, with Vmd-' t ness and openness of expression.'

The Stab B has verjr Tarely referred to the Judges ia the way of laudation. There 1 has been! a-great deal of this sort of thing within the ' last six" or eight J years.

This was not always done, for some of the Judges were men of prejudice and one .or two of them were men of small legal ; attainments or mental parts. ...The Judges now will average with those who rode the circuits gen erally before the war. We have received a private letter from a leal ffehtleman that contains such a neat, and no Ldoubt deserved I reference, to Judge Shepherd that we will take the liberty of reproducing a part. . He says: "Since Judge Shepherd has bees on the Bench I have visited the principal sections or our State,' and 1 have talKed witn tne leaders of the leiral profession. It is the generally received opinion that there are mre elements found - in-him that go to make up the full and rounded dispenser of justice than in any man who haa filled that position for a number of years past, in the dispatch of business Lis manner can scarcely be excelled, and his honesty and integrity "stand high and towering. The lawyer as well as the attorneys love him: He erasps at once the . most intricate ques tions and it is really refreshing to witness the rapidity with which he disposes of the "curious and . abstruse" that crept into the law in the days of Coke and Bracton. He is urbane and kind to a marked degree, yet his manners bear, no semblance to obse quiousness and all gentlemen like him.1 In private life he is plain, pleasant and enter taining, and he knows exactly how to tell a joke and what kind to telL" : ' - t ABTHOR'S BEC09HNQ ERS., FTJBLISIl4 : "It is said that William D.

Is Rus- sia powerlesa to form alliances ? - The Tarbbro Southerner reads the Stab a lectnre, calls it 'foolishM and "puerile" to listen to the malcon tents cof the Third Regiment and so on In'the usual style. VThe Stab has good reason for believing that the Second Regiment was unjustly dealt with, and having such reason it did its duty in stating its conviction. The Stab does not desire to .widen the breach or aid in breaking up the encampment. If the people are to be taxed to' make a display there must be no occasion for complaints of bad treatment or the encampment will find many enemies. The Stab believes in right and justice. If the Second failed to get the prizes W un questionably bore off the honors. What "officers ot the army" decided in favor of the First?' If Col. Black over his own signature will say that the Jfirst is entitled to the prizes - it is very certain that . the Stab will acquiesce and be as "dumb as an oyster.' If Col.. Jones and the rank and file of the Second Regiment are satisfied with the Southerner's ver j sion of course the Stab will be,t for it is not our quarrel.. ;. . " . Ex-Go v..

One of th Wheeler Post, ' ; Saratoga, " which - first mounted guard detail about the mountain cottage the day of Gen.

Then the undertaker took ' charge of theTe! mains,' Any -. here who , now desires' . to view the remains will step forward at once," said the undertaker, and his voice resounded in the dark, still corridors . All present passed by the casket, and the ljing in state 01 tne f resiaeni enaea. rue un dertaker, Merntt, then brushed the- glass plates above the body and drew from their places the two lids which cover the ( casket four screws in each were drawn, and the face of the dead had been closed forever from view unless there shall, in the future, from the family be a request to remove the tids. Then the dead was left in the care of the guards, who stood erect and silently within the iron gated,' and beneath the black drapings.:. .J.hvJ ... s u The night wore on, and the gray of day light was creeping ud in the east, still the air of the tomb-like corridors became heavy with the perfume of the withering flowers near tbe dead. The huge piece, "The Gates Ajar," had a place at the head of the casket, and tbe sweet smell of the lillies was borne down to those who stood and watched. Great horse-shoes of red and white rose buds added their fragrance; and the "Cross and Crown," from Mayor F. C. Latrobe, of Baltimore, sent out its quota to the heavy perfume that settled on the sepulchral air. But there was one itibute , that bore no fragrance, except such as will come tend erly to the family of the dead. It bore no perfume, ; save that which lives in .its memories. This token was a plain wreath of oak leaves, pinned together with the. .stems of oak leaves, and formed in the shape of the letter G. .The leaves grew on the oaks in the forests of Mt. MacGregor. and fluttered in the mountain breeze while Gen.) Grant was dying;, and on the after-! noon of Thursday, the day he died, little1 Julia,' his granddaughter, and little Josie, Dr. Douglas' child, had gathered- the oak leaves in the mountain , woods. Then, as the children prattled, they knit with inno cent hands and loving hearts the wreath of oak leaves that to-day is the only tribute that touches the General's casket. The lit tle ones, their offering finished, had taken it to Col. Grant,: . whose - eyes were ? filled,! when his daughter said "Papa, Josie and I have made this - for grandpa, and please won't you give.it to him." , ;The Colonel placed tbe oaken wreath on the casket then j it rested there in Albany, and still remains 'as the children's offering.' ; c . Near sunrise the strains of music, slow: and sad, were heard. Then the blue-coat-j ed veterans of Meade Post, of Philadelphia,! five hundred strong, came .tramping to the! dirge ; music of. trumpets. . The veterans entered the plaza and' marched past, while! muffled drama' timed ; their footsteps. - A' .heavy gun boomed ; out towards the sea j the chimes of old Trinity pealed mournful notes, and ' tbe sound of muffled drums grew fainter and died out: ' It was sunrise.!
