He knows that men are only frag- si fa tes waJK in the shadow, and that faults and failings mingle with the lives of all. In the grave should be buried the preju dices and passions born of conflict. Charily should held the scales in w hich are weighed the deeds of men. peculiarities:,- traits, borne of locality and surroundings. These are but the dust of the race ; the se are acci den le, drapery, clothes, fashions that have nothing to do with the man ex cept to hide his character. They are the clouds that cling to mountains. Time gives us clever vision. That which was merely local fades away. The words of envy are forgotten,a:,d all there is of sterling worth remains, lie who was called a partisan U a patriot. The revolutionists and the outlaw are the founders of a nation, and he who was regarded as eschew ing, selfish politician, becomes a statssman, a philosopher whose words and deeds shod light. Fortunate is that nation great enough to k'how the great. When a arreat man dies, one who has nobly fought the battle, of life, who has been faithful to every trust, and hns uttered his highest, noblest thought; one who has stood proudly by the right in spite of jeer and taunt, utilh er stopped by foe nor swerved by friend in houoiiug him, in speaking words of praise and love above his dust, we pay a tribute to ourselves. How poor this world would be without its graves, without the mem ories of its mighty dead. Only the voiceless speak forever. Inteligenee, iHtegijty and courage are the great pillars thai support tLe State. Above all, the citizens of a free nation should honor the brave and inde pendent man, the man of stainless integrity, of will nud intellectual force. Such men are the Atiasses on whote mighty shoulders re6t the great fabric of the republic. Fratter ers, cringcr?, crawlers, time servers, are the d-.ngerous citizens of a Dem ocracy. '1 hey who gain applause and power by pandering to the mis takes, the prejudice' and assious cf the multitude, are the enemies of liberty. When the intelligent sub mit to the clamor of the many, anarchy begins and the republic reaches the ede of the chaos. Mediocrity touchtd with ambition flatters the base, and columniates the great, while the tiue, patriot, who will be neither, is often sacrificed. la a govi-rumem oi tne people a leader should be a teacher he should cuiry the torch of tiuth Most people are the slaves of habit followers of cut-torn, believers in the wisdom of the pat and were it not for brave and splendid touls the dust of autique time woud ba too highly heaped for truth to overpeer Custom is a prison lucked and burred by those who long ago were dead, the keys of which are in the keeping of the dead. JNotmng is grander tnan wuen a btrong intellectual man breaks chains, levels wall?, and breasts the hydra headed mob like borne great cliil'that met ts and mocks the innumerable billows of the sea. The politician hastens to agree with the majority, insists that their prejudice is patriotism, not that he loves them, but because he loves himself. The statesman, the real reformer, points out the mistakes of the multitude, attacks the prejudices of his countrymen, laugbs at their follies, denounces their cruelties, en lightens and' enlarges their minds and educates the const-jence, not be cause he loves himself, but because he loves and serves the right, and wishes to make his country great and free. With him defeat in but a spur to further effoit. He who re fuses to stoop ; who cannot be bribed by the promise of success or tbe fear of failure ; who walks the highway of the right, and in disaster stands erect, is the only victor. Nothing is more despicable than to - reach fame by criug. When real history shall be written by the truthful and wise, these kneel eis at the shrines of chance and fraud, these brazen idols worshipped nco as gold, will be the fool of scorn while those who bore the burden of defeat; who earned and kept thtir self respect; who would not bow to man or men for plaee or power, will feel upqn their brows the laural mingled with the oak. Roscoe Gonkling was a man of su perb courage. He not only acted without fear, but he had that forti tude of soul that bears the conse quences of the course pursued with- out complaint. He was charged with being proud. The c'lorge was true, he was proud. His knees were as inflexible as the "unwedgeable and gnarled oak," but he was rot vain Vanity is a vane that turns a willow that bends with every breeze; pride ia the oak that defies the storm. One is cloud, the other rock. One weakness, the other strength This imperious man entered public life in the dawn of the reformation. At a time when the country needed men of pride, of principle and courage. THE LIME KILN CLUB.

TWO MN IN BALDWIN WHO WERE KOT AFRAID TO FACE DEA'iH. Frm the Miledgerille, Ga., Union. On the 12ih. day of June, 1863, I witnessed a duel between- Capt. Jones, commanding a Federal scout, I and Capt. Fry, t-ommauding a Con- federate sco ut, in Green county, Kast ! 'Vh, i, a i been fighting each other . for six months, with the fortunes of battle j in favor of one and then the other. Their commands were camped n either side of Lick creek, a large and sluggish streau-, too deep to ford, and too sbaMow for a ferry boat ; but there a bridge spanned the stream for the convenisnce of tbe traveling public. Each of them guarded this bridge that communication should go neither North nor South, as the railroad track bad been broken up montbb before. After fisrhtincr each other several months and contesting the points as to which should hold the bridge, they agreed to fight a duel, the conqueror to held the bridge undisputed for the - time be ing. Jones gave the challenge, and Fry accepted. The terms were that they should fight navy pistols at twenty yards apart, deliberately walking toward each other, and firing until the last chamber of their pis tols were disharged, unless oue or the other fell before all the dischar ges were made. They chose their second, and agreed upon a Confed erate surgeon (as he was the only one in either command) to attentdthemin case of danger. Jones was certainly a fine looking fellow, with light hair and blue eyes, five feet ten inches in height, looking every inch the military chieftaiu. He was a man the soldiers would ad mire, and ladies regard with admi ration. 1 never saw a . man more coolfdetermined and heroic under such circu nstancos. I have read of the deeds of chivalry aud knight er rantry in the middle ages, and brave men embalmed iu modern poesy; but when I saw Jones come to the duel ists' scratch, fighting, not for real or supposed wrongs to himself, but, as he honestly thought, for his country and the glory of the flag, I could not help admiring the man,notwithstand he fought for th'? freedom of the ne gro, which I wa3 opposed to. Fry was a man full six feet high, slender, with long, wavy, curly hair, ! jet black eyes, wearing a slouched hat and grey suit, and looked ratht r the demi.n than the man. There was nothing ferocious about bin; but he had that self-sufficient nonchalance that said. I "will kill you." Without a doubt he was brave, cool and collected, and al though suffering f o u a terrible fl wound in his left arm, received a week before, he manifested jo sj'mp toms of distress, but seemed ready for the fight. The ground was stepped off by the (-econds, pistols loaded and ex changed, and the principals brought face to face. I never shall forget that meeting. Jones, in his military boyish mood, as they shook bands remarked that A soldier braves death for a fanciful wreath When in glory's romantic career. Fry caught up the rest of the sent ence and answered by saying: Yet lie bends over the foe when in battle laid low And bathes eviry wound with a tear, They turned around and walked back 1 6 the point designated. Jones' second had tbe word "fire." and a he slowly said, One- to--three fire!" they simultaneously turned at tbe won! "One," and iustantly fired. Neither was hurt. They cocked their pistols, and deliberately walked toward each other, firing as they went. At tbe fifih shot, Jones threw up his aight hand, and firing his pis t 1 in the air, sank'.' down. . Fry was in the act of firing his last shot; but, toeing Jones fall, silently lowered his pistol, elroped it on the ground, and sprung to Jones' side, taking his head in bis lap as he sat down, and asking him if ho was hurt. I discoverd that , Jones ,was shot through the region of the stomach, the bullet glanced around the organ, ana coming out to the left of the spi nal col u in; besides he had received three other frightful flesh wounds iu other portions of the body. I dressed his wounds and gave him such stimulants as 1 had. He after ward got well. Fry received three wounds one breaking his right arm, one in the left, and tbe other iu the right side Alter mouths of suffering he got well, and fought the war out to the bitter end, and to-day they are partners iu a wholesale grocery business, and verifying the sentiment of Byron, that "A soldier braves death," etc., 2 rusting that the above t utbful narrative will be a lesson to some people, North and outb, that stay ed on the outside and yelled, "Seek dog !" asd are still not satisfied with she results f the war, let me sub scribe myself a reconstructed. Confederate Subgeox. TROUBLES OF A CHARLOTTE A BOY. Cbarlott Chronicle Mr. Louis Y. Williams, who left ' this city some years ago for Texas, and who recently killed a ruffian near San Autonia. for a gross insult to his wife, has been tried upon the charge of murder. He was coryictcd of manslaughter and was sentenced to two years ' iu the Texas peniten tiary. Mr. Williams has written us a letter which he desires us to pub lish for the benefit of his friends herd. The letter is written from San Antonio, under date of April 30th., and says: "For the benefit of my many friends who will no doubt be pleased to hear how my case has terminated, I request you to publish the fallowing article : Af ter a long and tedious confiament of two years, I was tried this morning, the jury rendering a verdict of man slaughter, and recoinending me to executive clemency:- My sentence was two years, the lowest penalty A petition in my behalf is under way, which the Judge, District Attorney and jury have signed. My attorneys and friends are confident I will be pardoned, ere I leave the jail here for the peuitentiary. The cause of this unfortunate affair was an msuit to rry wi'e while I was away from home by a most vile and worthless charac ter on a ranch near this city, where I was in charge. I was defended by the ablest criminal attorneys in this State, Messrs. Teel and Halton, also Judge A. J. Evans and Col. J. D. Morrison. The trial would have re sulted in my acquittal long ago, but for the enmity existing between my former employer, C. Ooulson,a so called Christian and frontier minis ter, as public opinion was all in my favor. I have resided in San Antonio for the past five years. But I can truthfully say any living man is very fooli h to leave North Carolina for Texas to better his condition, aN though San Antonio is a progressive and live buisness place aud is a great resort for those suffering with lung troubles. Iu conclusion I will Bay kindly publish this and oblige me." SOME BIBLICAL DATA. Verses in the Old Testament, 23, 241. Verses in the New Testamend, 7, 859. The booLs of the Old Testament, 39.

"This," said the returned mission -ary to the Poor Heathen whom he had brought over, "is a church." And the Poor Heathen greatly ad mired the church. By and by he asked : "Who ia the fat man with the big watch Beal, who looks at the church as though he thought some of put ting on a $50 bay window and raising the rent $500 a year V "That is a trustee," said the re turned missionary. "He does most of the praying, I i suppose T said tne iroor tLcatnen, who,' in his blindness, knows very little about the way we do these things. "No," said the returned missionary, "he doesn't beliove in praying ; he is a Bob Ingersoll . man and believes that nobody doesn't know nothing and that they knows that he knows they don't. He is not a member of the Church, but he is a good, clear headed business man, good, manager, strong on real estate deals and so he's " a trustee. Doesn't take very much of a Christian to be a trustee, except in the country. In town a church only wants a good business man and trustee." . "And who is the man who stands in the door and glares at the people as they pass in and tries to keep them out ?" asked the Poor Heathen- "That is the sexton," replied the missionary. "He doesn't believe in opening the church for religious ser vice at all. He says the church was built to have a swell wedding in, and that for preaching and payer meetings and other side shows of that nature the trustee should hire a hall." "Who is the very young man who pushes people out of the way that he may have room to pass in and stoops very low as he enters the twenty foot door, and sits directly under the steeple lest he should strike his head when I e stands ud ?" "That," said the returned mission ary, "is tue new superintendent oi the Sunday school. Tney are ail that way at first. By and by, when he has forgotten every line of his beautiful speech, when there are dis tinguished strangers present, when he has started the wrong tune to an entirely strange hyma, aud corrected himself by striking the right tune on a key so high that the chimes of Noimandy couldn't sing second bass to it ; when he has flunked, fair, j squaseand out-right, on the first ten questions in his question, box, he will know less by about nine ques tions, and be good, useful, earnest, and humble superintendent. He's only young ond new, like an August persimmon." "Hero comes the owner of the church," the Poor Heothen said, "lie looks as though he had decided tho make pemmican of the sexton and trustee, and not hold any service to-day." "No, that is not exactly the owner of the church." the returned mission ary said ; "that is the leader of the choir." "Who is that meek timid little m n who is trying to creep iu with out letting the sexton see him and who has just taken off his hat to the leader of the choir?" "Oh, that is only the pastor of the church," the returned missionary replied. ."Will you go inside?" And the Poor Heathen said he would, because he rather guessed, from their locks, the sexton and leader of the choir had made up their minds to settle that morning which of the two should take the church and run it. - ROBEBT J.

The Chinese have been barred out of the United States and are being mobbed out cf .Australia, and are un welcome in South and Central America. Yet the overflowing mil ¬ lions of China must find some thinly populated country in which to toJ, and they are loc-king for it all over the world. It is evident from the reports of recent explorers in vari ous parts of the Africa that they should turn their almond eyes to ward tbe Dark Continent, where they will not be overpowered by face pre' judices, where they will find a toler- ! able climate and productive soil, ! where they cau introduce many of the customs and crafts that belong ! to Chinese civilization, and where their peaceful and industrious dispo sition will be of the highest value. THE DEATH RATE OF THE TWO RACES. Wilmington Star. It has been ascertained that the following was the death rate cf the two races iu four Southern towns for the month of the January last: White. Colored. Total. Nashville . . . .11.18 25.63 18 39 Memphis .... 23.57 35. 1 4 27.72 Chattanooga.. 11.00 25 84 15.21 Knoxville 1 3.86 50.47 21.38 These figures are not exceptional. Perhaps every Southern town and city would show such results. We have heretofore given ihe figures of mortality in many Southern towns and cities and in every instance the negro mortality was in great . excess over the white mortality. It has been so and will continue to be so for generations to come. It is not diffi cult to account for this. Southern people understand it. The causes are closa at hand. The habits of the town negroes are not favorable to health Insufficient sleep, unclean- liness, bad food, huddling together in houses, insufficient clothing, fuel,&c. all make up a catalogue of misfor tune and create sources of disease that are ample to account for the great preponderance of death among the blacks over the whites. The nearo loves to idle but ne is capable of severe toil if he so minds Ia towns he likes to sit up at niabt and the consequence is the strain upon him is crreat. The increase of the negroes is very remarkable in view of the great mortality. But this is owin? to the fecundity of that race. But there is no good reason for believing that the negroes have since 1870 increased in as great ratio as the whites. Northern wri ters have tried to make the reverse of this appear, but the known facts do not sustain the view. There must be a difference of six or eight per cent, in the increase and in favor of the whites. It is a favorite idea with certain infatuated negrophilists in the North tn.it the negro race is growing so rapidly that in a half century or so it will be largely su perior numerically in the South and will, therefore, dominate We have no such conviction. We believe that by A- D. 1925, the whites in the South will double the blacks. But in no event could the blacks ever gain control. The Caucasian race always leads, bosses wherever it goes.

NO. 1 4 TOO MANY DOCTORS. N. Y. Sua. There are too many Doctors of Medicine in the United States. This is 'net what we say, but what the American Medical Association evidently thinks, if we may judge from the manifestations at the opening session of that body at Cincinatti on Tuesday last. The President in his annual ad dress proposed the formation of a standing committee ' for each State and Territory In the Union to "attend their respective Legislatures and nse all honorable means looking to the reduction of the number of medical schools in tbe United States, and a consequent diminution in the annual number of medical graduates." "This suggestion," says the report, "was received with storms of applause," thus indicating that the members of the American - Medieal Association are of the opinion that there are too many doctors in the country. If legislation to limit the number of physcians is expedient in the United States, it would seem to be still more necessary in Great Britain. The law there requires medical students to be registered, and the registration list for twenty years shew that while the annual average number of students of medicine was only 1,287 from the year 1868 to the year 1877, the average rose to 1,927 in the last decade. British, medical statistics further show that at the present time three new physicians come into practice for every doctor dies. But if medical men are to be pro, tected by legislation restricting the number of admissions into the pro fession,wby should not like protec tion be vouchsafed to persons en gaged in other persuits ? A compe tent brewer would doubtless make more more money, support his fam" ily in better style, and find life gen erally more worth living, if there were not so many other brewers.
