Lay up nearer, brother, nearer, For my limbs are growing cold, And thy presence seemeth dearer, When thy arms around me fold; I am dying, brother, dying; Soon you'll miss me in your berth. For my form will soon be lying 'Neath the ocean's briny surf. Ilarken to me, brother, barken ! I have something I would say Kre the veil my vision darken And I go from hence away; I am going, surely going. But my hope in Go I is strong; I am willing, brother, knowing That he doeth nothing wrong. Tell my father w hen you greet him, That in death I prayed for him, Prayed that I may one day meet him Iua world th.it'b free from sin; Tell nry mother God assist her, Now that she w growing old Tell, her child would glad have kissed her. When his lips grew pale and cold, i Listen, brother, catch each whisper; "f is my wife I'd speak of now ; Tell, oh !' tell her how I missed her, When the fever burnt my brow; Tell her, brother, closely lisleu, Don't forgot a single word. That in de ith mv eyes did glisten With the tears her memorv stirred. sj Tell her she must kiss .iiy chiui. Like the kiss I last impressed; Hold them as when I last held them, Folded closely to my breast; Give them early to their Maker, Putting all her trust in God, Ami He will never forsake her, For he said so iu his Word. O, my children ! Heaven bless them! They were all my life to me; Would I could once more caress them Ere I sink beneath the sea; 'Twas for them I crossed the ocean; What my hopes were I'll not toll; But I have gained an orphan's par don, Yet he doeth all things well. Tell my sisters I remember Every kindly parting word. And mv heart has been kept tender. As the thoughts their mem'ry stirred: Tell them I ne'er reached the haven. Where I sought the "precious dust," But I have gained a port called Heaven. Where the gold will never rust. Urge them to secure an entrance, For they'll find their brother there; ' Faith in Jesus and repentance Will secure for each a share Hark ! 1 hear my Saviour speaking, 'Tis, I know his voice so well; When I am gone, oh! don't be weeping; Brother, here's my last farewell. Horace Wreeley's Shoe Leather. Mr. Greeley rolled into the shoema ker's store with that heavv, blowy sort of a gait he had. "Sit down, Mr. Gree ley, said the shoemaker. treeiey looked up with that broad, wondering, half child-like look, and said, "Why do you know me?" "Everybody knows you, Mr. Greeley," was the re ply. A comforUible-fi'tting shoe was tried on. "No, that's altogether too small." Then a shoe that was really altogether too large, but that, too, was not large enough ; then a cloth snoe, so large that Mr. Greeley could put his hand in and arrange his stocking over his foot so as to tit him. He was amazed at the contrast with Broadway prices, not seeing that there was also a contrast with the Broadway quality, bought several pairs like it, all the man had m fact. and went away greatly de lighted, saying that be had a lot of shoes he would send around to be mended. Sure enough a boy came in a Tew moments with a small basketfuL The shoemaker pledges mo his pro fessional honor that there was not two h es alike in the whole basket. He hurried around to Mr. Greeley s house, and suggested that, as none of the shoes mated, it was of no use to mend them.

Senator Blaine intends to push his pro posed amendment, to prohibit the car rying of arms by persons near or at the polls, but the democrats will prob ably refuse to let it in, not because they are opposed to it, they say, but because an amendment would send the whole bill back to the House and prolong the session. They add that the State governments may fe trusted to make all such regulations. It will be difficult to keep Congress here much longer. Representatives and Senators are getting very impa tient to go home, and in spite of t he caucus resolution against pairing and absenteeism a good many members are going home for three or four days at a time, and those who have been away return with reluctance. If any one on either side had the audacity" to otter and advocate in a forcible speech a joint resolution to continue last year's ap propriations until the first of next Jan uary and adjourn at once it would get a strong vote if it did not carrj'. The . republicans are very nervous about a veto. They fear that the Presi dent will sign the Army bill, and the speeches made last week by republican Senators were levelled at him rather than at the Senate or the country. It should be understood that, there are other interests besides those merely jKlitical which "desire a veto. The Army bill, as it now stands and as it will probably go to the President, has an amendment to the political rider inten ded to obviate the fault wdiich Mr. Garfield found in it, that it disabled the President from using troops even on the constitutional call of a Legislature or Governor. As this rider now stands i it simply prohibits the stationing of troops at the polls antecedent to a riot or disturbance, and what troubles the republicans is that they do not like to go before the country in the attitude of asserting that troops ought to be so sta tioned at election places on election day when no disturbance or riot is go ing on. They therefore touch this which is the real issue,ina very ginger ly manner. They would prefer the President to sacrifice himself for them by vetoinig the bill, it is noticed al ready that several of the sblest Sena tors, notably Mr. Conkling, have main tained a judicious silence on the Army bill. They are reserving themselves lor the Legislative bill, the riders on which the democrats themselves eon fess privately , "U J T atiiut the Array bill hK . poiiti-ocd clause which a important will bring powerful influence to bear to secure a veto. It is the clause relating to tele graph companies, known at the last session as General Butler's amend ment, and is in these words : ! ' Telegrams are authorized lo be trans mitted bv railroad companies wluch shall file their written acceptance of the restrictions and obligations imposed on telegrapli companies bv title o.y of the Revised Statutes for the govern ment and for the general public, at rates to be fixed by the government, according to the provisions of title tio of the Revised Statutes." This clause was vigorously opposed at the last session when there was a strong lobby here trying to deleat it. At tnis session it has apparently at tracted nobody's attention, but it is whispered that those who desire a 'cto are not sorry that this clause was re tained in the bill. BARBELS OF MONEY. The Herald's correspondent says the following will be ottered as a substitute for Green backer He La Matvr's bill au thorizing the issue of ?H,000,()00,oK) : "Be it enacted, that the Secretary of the Treasurj- shall as soon as possible prepare forty-six millions of barrels of money, to consist half of greenbacks of of tlie denominations of 1, ii and $5, and half of silver dollars of our fathers, and to distribute these barrels of money by mail or express, as may be most con venient, charges prepaid, to the inhabi tants born or naturalized of the United Sfates and Territories at the rate of one barrel to each person. Chinamen and Indians untaxed excepted. Second That the said barrels shall be made of sound oak staves with iron hoojws, and each shall be labelled vyith the name and, address in legible lettjers of the person to whom it is sent, and that every barrel shall contain 1,0$. The merit Claimed for this bill is that it does not, at any rate, like the I)e;La Matyr bill, ! arm to put the eople's money into (he pockets of bloated i"d tyranlcal corporations, but sticks it di rectly into the people's pockets, where, if auywhereat belongs." BAY.VRP'S ORKAT HPEKCH. The Senate listened to a great speech by Senator Bayard on the army bill today- : I PERSONAL. R. M.

Many of ;the uames once familiar on the llaming bills are not seen now in connection wtih circuses. Dr Spaulding is living on his money in Saugertiess N. ; Y. Yankee Robinson is an actor in Western theatres. Ben Maginiey, Tony Postor, and Frank Pastor, formerly clowns, are also on the theatrical stage. An drew Haith, once owner of the Great Eastern circus, is keeping a hotel in Chicago. Of other proprietors, Joe Cushingis farming in New Hampshire, J. M. Nixon is managing a threatre in Chicago, Montgomery Queen is inter ested in Brooklyn street railroads, Louis North i also living in Brook - in Provi idence, Geo. K.

From the moment that the public at large began to pay the taxes, and not the land, the extravagance ot govern metit expenditure grew amazingly, and a national debt was commenced. v hen the people paid, and the aristocracy and their sons and kinsfolks received through government offices in the army or navy, from that moment the history of our boundless confusion commenced Before this great transfer of taxation from the lands to customs, excise and other popular burdens, it must be borne in mind that there was no debt. So long as the land had to pav the taxes the aristocracy were not willing to in cur a national debt ; the moment they made this transfer, and could, living on their exempted lands, revel in the sweets of taxation, a debt was then commenced. Charles, we shall find, borrowed .900,(XJu of the merchants of London, and soon informed them that he could never repay it; it must remain a debt on the nation, the interest alone beinir obtainable. The debt first com menced has now grown, as the direct consequence of this grand fiscal revolu tion, to upward ol8(X),()0(),(K0.

She was a beautiful blonde, with dark brown eyes, and her face attracted much attention. A fair, white skin; rosy, dimpled cheeks, lips like the cherries that grow nearest the sun, in the top of the tree; pearly teeth, the regular rows of which showed themselves whenever she chose to let her musical laugh be Heard fwntcli was oiten); and a prettv shaped head, crowned with a wreath of golden hair and the cunuiugest of hats. ftne taiKed aioud, and even made up laces at the gentlemen, who stared at her. Ordinarily such a character, eveu though a female beauty, would have been unpleasant at the theater, but some how evervldy seemed pleatsed with the lady. If T. G.s glass did not deceive him, she was about 4 years old. The only portion of the play she seemed to understand and appreciate was a love-making scene.

One prominent physician here, writ0s a JNew York correspondent, says that the hurry and struggle of city life, and jthe high nervous organization of American women, lead to the use of stimulants, and that, as wine drinking is generally begun at tne period ol budding woman hood, it .,;i creates a fixed want, to the physical and mental detriments of the subject.'- His practice con firms uim in the belief that a very large share oi the ailments of women are due to the cause here described. Another iold physician says that the evil of fashiona ble drinking among ladies is more ex tended than is generally believed. Many, however, have been brokeni up by it, and he knowsof cases wJiere pros perous liien have been ruined in busi ness in consequence of this evil in their families. Young ladios sip champagne here at evening parties almost defiant ly, and many of the favorite restaurants among young ladies who aro out slip ping on Broadway, Fourteenth street.

THE TERRIBLE DlarifiE TUE C 11 1 31 EM E HATE IXTBODl'CKD. A Malady That Dates Bak f the rail of Man- Ancient Aeeeusta aa4 Modem ' lnataacea af ' Leprosy. San Francisco Chronicle. The "keen, industrious, Intelligent Chinaman," which Henry Ward Boech er has introduced to the American pub lic and who is so beautifully portrayed by Thomas Nast of Harper's Weekly, brings with him to theso shores the seal of dishonor that probably dates back to the f. 11 of man. Whether with the tenacity which has shut the gates of their walled. world against the barba rians for ages past, they foster thia crowning evil of the flesh, I know not; but certain it is that 400,000,000 Mongo lians inherit scrofulous teadencies. and that with them the leprous seed seems to germinate spontaneously. This horrible and fatal disease has al ready been Introduced into California; it has loliowed the Chinese to every land where they have been col onized. I will anon attempt to prove that a little leper may leaven a whole race. But first, do you know oi wnat we ireair maun drel, an old English traveler of the seventeenth century, writing of the leprosy he saw in Syria, says: "'It is a distemper so noisoui that it might pass for the utmost corruption of the human body on this side the grave." Ami well it might ! Behold the DIAGNOSIS OF THE GREEKS. When leprosy is fully developed it is characterized by the presence of dusky- red or livid tubercles ot uiuerent sizes udou the face, libs, nose, eyebrows and extreineties of tne body. The skin of the tubrculated tace is at the same time thickened, wrinkled and shining, and the features are very greatly dis torted. The hair of tne eyebrows, eyelashes 'and beard falls oil'; the eyes are often injected aud the conjunctiva swelled; the pupil of the eye contracts, giving the organ a weird, cat-like ex pression; the voce becomes hoarse and nasal; tue sense or smeii is uupareu or lost, and that oi touch, or common sen sation, is strangely altered ; the tuber culated parts, which are, in the first instance, sometimes suiKjrseusiiive, latterly, in the course ot the disease, become paralyzed or anesinetic. as the malady progresses, the turbercles soften and open; ulcerations ot similar mucuous tubercles appear in the nose and throat, rendering the breath ex tremely offensive ; tubercular masses, . - i i or leprous ituoercieM, as shown uy dissection, begin to form internally upon various mucous memoranes anu on tne suriace oi me aiouu.vj. uiww. appear on the fingers, toes and extrem ities, and joint alter joint drops off by a kind of spontaneous gangrene, cwuw tinies the upper and sometimes the lower extremeties are especially afflic ted by this mortification and mutilation of parts. The conclusions to be drawn from the foregoing account of the ETIOLOGY OK THE LKFIIOSI are: First, its primary cause, is yet unknown ; next, of secondary causes, diet and hereditary tendency are by tar tho most important ; lastly, leprosy, if not contagious, is capable propagation by the imbibition of the excreta ol lepers. No one has ever succeeded in curing a case of leprosy ; and however much we may hope that some drug may yet be discovered which will exercise s curative effect on the disease, we can but admit that means of preventiou are more likely to be efficacious than any attempts at cure." With this convic tion I will bring you face to face with the harvest of blooming lepers lately gathered in tho Chinese quarter of the city of San Francisco. Got. Jarvis Coming Among- na To Mffbt How he Will he Knler talned. Wilmington Star, 'iM. Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis, Secretary of State Saunders, and Maj. II. A. Gilliam will arrive here at 10 o'clock this even ing from Raleigh, en route to Fleming ton, whither they go on a fishing expedition, as the guests of Col. Henry B. Short. The party will remain here Wednesday, and will probably be taken to the Sound to view the beauties of the ocean blue and drink salt water. On Thursday, with the addition from this city of a number of gentlemen, they will leave for Iake Waccamaw. Hearing of the proposed visit of the Governor, the Lotus Club tendered him a compluientary hop, and requested ' him to state what night would best suit his convenience, to which the Governor replied, accepting wiih thanks and selecting Wednesday night. No elforts will be spared to make the stay of the party, while in Wilmington, ple"asant, and we doubt not that, the gentlemen will be quite willing to rest (?)aday here before commencing the onslaught ou the fishes at Lake Wac camaw. On t'lre In Chareh. Wilmington Keview. Quite an amusing little incident oc curred in one of our city churches yes terday. It was during the services and a gas'jet was burning in the organ loft for the convenience of the organist. One of David's successors, a riam-ist, while bending over his hymn-book got, id hpud too near the gas Jet and the consequence was a sput of flame about afoot high. The young man was very much in love with aiauy in mecougre gation at whom nd to whom and for whom he had been singing and the sing ing was therefore, on very inflamma ble material. A lady chorister who was near at hand, seeing the 'flames drop ped her book and by a few rigorous slaps with her hands, crushed out the tire. The alarm did not beoouie general and the department was not called out. The Baleljfh Bo. Border Review. We had pleasant calls from a good many of our Raleigh friends this week. mong them were Mr. O.
