It is strange tbat the best way to keep a fire hot ia to keep it coaled. o Things ought to look right in the Philippines. Luke Wright is act ing Governor. The snperintendent of schools at Heading, Pa., requires tbat all the teachers in that city shall read the daily papers in order to carry on their work more intelligently. ; 0 Professor Charles Wilson has announced to the British Royal So ciety, that after ten years of patient investigation he has found the tern perature of the sun to be about 11, 200 degrees rahrenneit. lias is twice the heat obtainable in an elec tric furnace. o " The civil service seesaw is a little puzzling. Just as Congress decides to put the civil service blanket over the Census Bureau clerks the Attor ney General has decided that putting the employes of the Government Printing Office under civil service rules was illegal. o The Junior Order orphanage ques tion seems to be dead for the pres ent. A dispatch to the Raleigh Post says that at the afternoon ses sion of the State Council, yesterday, the orphanage question was laid on the table. The Durham Juniors will regret to hear of this action, o The announced visjt of Prince Henry to Grand Opera has resulted in a raising of prices by the manage- lUCUt aUU ViiVl V ID UKJ ICUIULL TT LI V I V o they will be when the New Yorkers have to payQthe ticket speculators, as they generally are obliged to. The price for boxes is simply fab ulous, 'and for ordinary geats for the single performance the cost rangeB from 30 down to $5 for standing room. o The ill-fated Major Andre, whose career formed one of the most imantio and pitiful episodes in American history, was , a poet and artist. There are still on exhibition in the Philadelphia library a num ber of his letters and an autograph poem, graceful in form and senti ment. There are also several dainty silhouettes, cut from black paper by this talented young officer, of broth er army officers and of the Phila delphia girls whom he charmed in long ago Revolutionary days. o The recent death of Admiral Kimberly recalls the great hurricane in Samoa when so many American sailors lost their lives. It was Ad miral Kimberly, who, whea the British cruiser "Calliope".; was able to steer out of the harbor of death, lined up the band on the deck of his vessel, the "Trenton," and had them play "God Save the Queen." At the same time his men cheered the English Bailors as they made their plucky run for the sea and safety, from the reef on which the "Tren ton" went to pieces 'a few moments later.""" ' -' . o Democratic Senators succeeded in calling a . temporary halt in the ex travagence of republican Senators, who had in ten days added 125,000 . . f I m m m m tu me annual payroll oi me Senate, by appointing messengers for xom mittees which rarely or never vneet - 1 - I m ana, oi courge, nave no use tor a messenger. Republican Senators Admitted that thn AnnninlmAnta haH . r r been made, to which Senators Clay, and Berry objected, but said that the messengers were for Senators who were chairmen of committees. Senator Turner then brought the matter to a climax by proposing that every Senator be provided with a messenger at public expense, and frightened the republican Senators tie wtica was orJerei to lnver.ate an-i report. The European ideas, which have captured the State Department t3g and baggage, are to be introduced in the army, if Congress can be per suaded to adopt the plan sent to it by Secretary Root, which provides for the consolidation of the quarter master s, subsistence and pay de partments and the creation of a transportation division, all to be un der one head, to be known as chief of the supply corps. Mr. Root's plan also provides for the creation of a general staff corps and makes changes in minor matters relating to the army. o The sudden death of the esteemed Superintendent of Public Instruc tion of the State, General T. F. Toon, is a great shock to the people of North Carolina, and it removed from the corps of co-workers of edu cational advancement of our State one of its most earnest and untiring laborers for the banishment of illit eracy, lne state mourns. As the Raleigh Post so well says: "A true citizen, faithful friend, leving hus band and father, a modest, christian gentleman has gone to his reward. He was faithful inwar and in peace, and true to every tru9t publio or private confided to him. Those near and dear to him may feel sure of the sympathy of all the people in their great bereavement. o JOURNALISTIC. The Progressive Farmer has be gun its seventeenth year. The edi tor, Mr. Clarence H. Poe, is one of the youngest editors in the State, and has talents far In advance of his years. Under hisMmanagcment the Farmer has been greatly improved. We congratulate the Louisburg Times upon the favorable auspiceB under which it enters its thirty second volume. Editor J. A. Thomas has built up a tine weekly plant, and we hope great, success will at tend him during the next twenty tive years of his management and labors. The Kinston Free Press has en larged both its daily and weekly editions. May prosperity ever at tend it. Speaking of progressive papers, well edited, and one that works unceasingly for its commu nity, you have it in the Free Press. BRIEF AND BREEZY. New York Press: Because a man looks unhappy is no proof that he is married. Chicago News: For some un countable reason the amateur vo calist never loses his voice. Atlanta Journal: There is an other thing about that proposed new 2 cent coin; is will sound as loud as nickle in the collection box. Washington Post: The Demo, crats in Congress should not worry over a steering committee. What they need is a committee oo muz zles. Richmond Times:. Three mines in Arizona are managed by women but as a rule women are more capa ble of manipulating the output after it leaves the mint. Atlanta Constitution: Washing ton is talking of an inaugural hall. Those who have attended inaugurals there think Washington a regular dandy at making hauls already. Raleigh News and Observer: A Scotchman has bequeathed $300,000 for a home for aged bachelors. It would by better to tax them into marriage.

Tte chronolo2V cf D arhim couctv for January calls up a chapter of history, most of which has never been rut in type. During the first two weeks of the month the last of the immediate farailv of that patriot and States man, Wilie P. Mangum, passed over tne river, at a ripe old age Miss Marv first, and a week later. Miss Pattie, the latter aged seventy-six years. These estimable ladies lived and died in the old mansion where they were born and raised, amid the decorations ot ou paintings, statu ary, old world paintings and bric-a- brac collected by their father in the youtn ot the last century. They established the Mangum medal, a handsome gold affair, in 1870, for the best debater at the University of North Carolina. But it is of their father of whom we would SDeak. Wilie P. Man?um was born in Orange (now Durham) county, in H92; graduated at the university ot iNorth Uarolina in 1815; studied law, and at once took a prominent stand in the profession. in 1818, at tne age of twenty-six, he -was elected a member of the House of Commons from Orange county. After serving his term there, he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court of Law and Enity in 1819, and in 1823 was elected to Congress, where he served till 1826, 1 1 v m wnen ne was again made judge ot the Superior Court. tor three terms. 1831-'37. 1841- '47, 1848-'53, he represented North Carolina in the National Senate, and was president of the Senate for the balance of the term when Vice President Tyler became President upon the death of Harrison, and was said to have been the handsomest man who ever graced the Senate Chamber, towering above his con ferees in statesmanship and courtly manners as he did in the beauty of his physique. He had but one son, First Lieu tenant William P. Mangum, of the Flat River Guards, who was mor tally wounded at the first battle of Manassas. Julv. 1861. and brought , rf , r O home and buried in the old family ourying ground. The shock was too much for even the strong constitu tion of the stately old oak for his son was his idol, and in October of that year they laid him to rest by he side of his soldier boy, where now seven ot tne tamily's remains repose, where not a stone or slab marks the sepulchre of either, and only tne swisninsr bouehs and sierh ing winds whisper a sad and solemn requiem to their honored memories. But what boots it? In the hearts of their countrymen they have , "a monument more lasting than bronze, more enduring than fame." Two of Mr. Mangum's contemporaries, ana personal mends ot almost equa prominence, John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Macon, have no mark over their bones, and cattle and sheep take what privilege they wisn wun tne sacred ground. Tradition, prettv well authenti cated, says that but for one of thoss accidents which sometimes hannen inopportunely, Mr. "Mangum would have been President of the United States. He was an ardent Whig, and when the national convention that nominated Harrison and Tyler met, he was a candidate for Vice- President against Tvler. South Car olina had already cast her vote for Mangum. who. while not civen to much conviviality, yielded to the ni8ioricai remarks oi the South Car olinian and availed himself of his constitutional right to toast his friends, and that one of the North Carolina delegates, who wasaOuak ' - - . v er and a total abstainer, seeing him in this onmnanT. r.Viftn.rrod Via- vnto to Tyler, which defeated Mangum oy one vote, and thereby kept . him from being President when Harrison aiPd.

Write for our lre iUustruted book, " Befor Baby UBoru." City's most aristocratic society, en dowed alike with courtly graces and chivalrio honor that made him as popular in the drawing room as in the Senate Chamber. While serving in the Senate, his colleague, the late Judge Graham, v as not only his countytuan, but hie neighbor, both living close together in Orange, the only instance in the history of the United States in which both Senators, from any State, were from the same county. Nor should it be forgotten that the era in which Mr. Mangum was reared, this country produced more truly great men than the world's history ever had in any government at one time before. Such conditions for the rearing of intellectual and moral eiants never before existed anywhere, and probably never wil again. Webster, Clay, Calhoun Macon, Mangum and'John Randolph were the renowned six, whose foot prints now point the path to the best policy of the American govern raent. Thev were samples of the greatness of that age, At her request, the last of the family, Miss Pattie, was buried at her father's feet, with head north feet south.
