It has often been noted that parents

to increased activity, and fortune seems
to favor parents with n large family.
Have you not noticed how hard one
brother with only a wife and no children

ot Kansas, was chosen surgeon general
W. II. Childers, of Kentucky, chaplain
and Comrade Lovett, junior vice com
mander. The encampment refused tu
recognize the sous of veterans as auxil

of giving the women's organizations

Threats Against Postmaster lien
eral Wanamakcr.
The New York Herald has this Wash
ington dispatch:
The dissatisfaction among the colored
men with the conduct of t he administra
tion towards them is constantly finding
vcul here, and fuel is constantly added to
ihe llanie by occurrences at the Whiti
House or in the departments. The ap
poiiitmcut of Mr. Whitniycr as postmas
ter at Ncwlicrry, S. C, already alluded to
m these dispatches, still hangs lire at tin
poslotlicc department. Inasmuch as the
only objection to Mr. Whitniycr is mnU
by Democrats, it seems a Iritleipicer thai
so ardent a partisan as the postmaster
general hesitates to disregard their
wishes.
The explanation given by some of tin
politicians is illustrative of the low plane
upon which the present administration is
conducted. Mr. Wanamakcr's drummers
in the South, so the storv goes, have been
notified that if the postmaster general ot
iciids conservative sentiment bv putting
colored men in offices where thev are not
wanted, he will get no orders tor goods
anywhere in the South.
"It is a question," remarked a-, we'.!
known Southern Republican to-day, "it
is a question of calico anil ready made
clolhing."
The colored people say that they cast
'.10 per cent, of the Republican votes in
the South, and that they think if hardly
lair that the white Republicans should
absorb ON percent of the otiiccs.
Farmers' Trunin.
Philadelphia Keeuril.
The farmers, bless their hearts! have
licard so much about Trests, and have
liven made to pay so much to Trusts,
that they have been considering how to
establish Trusts of their own in order to
put up the prices of corn, cotton, cattle
and things. Hut the farmers do not stop
to consider that 1 rusts are small and
compact conspiracies between a few
speculative rascals. A Trust with three
or four million rascals in it would fail of
its own nnwicldincss. Oil thissubject the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch pointedly re
marks: We liar the farmers are too widely
scattered, a too many-headed mid un
wieldy multitude, to succeed in righting
he trust devil with the mere ashes of Ins
iwn fire. A paK'r resolution of the
nanv to create a monopoly by purelv
voluntary action in doling out products
to tin' markets is a bond of combination
is elementary and unreliable as a roie of
mud. The idea that he can
revolutionize trade with farmers' co
ojierative commission houses, control
the money market by setting up farmers
operative banks and arbitrarily keep
wheat at $ and cotton at lli'a cents.
vitliout rclerence to loreign or home

From the Commercial Gazette come
new and powerful reasons for Ohio's love
for her Forakcr:
'It is pleasant to us to know that our
young Governor was in the Shenandoah
valley during tlic lA-e-mse campaign;
that he was the principal figure in Hit
parade on the occasion of the inaiigura
tion of President Harrison; that he was
the main feature in the centennial parade
at Philadelphia, and that in the New
York celebration ot me inauguration ol
Washington the first great wave of ap
plause that swept up Filth avenue and
Hroudwav was in greeting to the hand
some young Governor ot Ohio."
If the young Governor is going to run
on his shape, we suggest that he take in
lor the season the name ot ! ire Alarm,
which we bestowed upon him in recogni
tion of his explosive talents, and which
admiring millions have repented, and call
himself Beauty Benson, or the Young

STRANGE DREAH8,
Ex-Alderman Westall Relates a
Touching Experience,
Editor Citizen : I never was much su
lierstitioiiB. thought I had gone deep
enough into dreams to fathom thcircause.
I found by that study, particularly by
practical demonstration, the power and
scope of the human mind. It was proven
to me beyond doubt that,
"In a drenm h moment long
We sometimes live for years."
I found that I could continue a pleas
ant dream if aroused from sleep before its
completion, although the break should be
made several times, and I knew how to
stop the continuance of a disagreeable
dream. Yes, 1 thought I knew it all.
Hut what I am now going to relate con
vinced me that 1 must keep on learning
It was about the first of August 1HHN
when every member of niv family, as far
as I could sec, was in K-rlcct health, that
i took my seat as usual in mv easv chair
in the sitting room. One can look from
that room through n front window to
the street Chestnut street. Mv mind
was at case, and I fell to sleep. I think I
was unconscious not more than thirty
seconds, when, during that short inter
val, I looked through the window, and
saw a two horse wagon rial down the
street, and stop near the gate in front of
the house. Then two men stepped Irom
the wagon, drew a coffin from the rear
end, brought it through the gateway on
to the porch toward the door, when it
disappeared because it had left my line of
vision inrougn the window. 1 then
thought I called out to the two men in
excitement: "Don't bring that coffin in
iicre: I iiou t want it: take it awav
Then I awoke, and, behold, it was a
dream.
About ten days after that, mvdauirli
ter Mary, who was in her twenty-first
year, and who had always been healthy
fell sick of a lever. The doctor was iiii
mediately called in, but m spite of his
skim ami constant attention, she died on
the 27th. An undertaker came to pre
pare her for the funeral. He decided that
it would lie better not to put the body in
inecottin till the next day just lielore the
hour for the funeral.
Well, I was in the sitting room next
morning where I had the dream, and, on
hearing the rattle of a wagon in the
street ill front of the house, I looked
through the window just as it stopped
near the gate, and 1 saw two men take
the coffin from the wagon, and bringitin
as I saw in my dream nearly four weeks
nciorc.
What caused that dream ? Nobodvei
answer, and I will have to study deeper
uuo me mystery oi (lieanis.
Then why, just day before yesterday,
on the sad anniversary of her death.
should I, for the first time, east my eyes
on tne lollowing appropriate lines when
the subject was not in mind ?
A year in Heaven for her. What is she tearn
iii(! of holy things, ofthingn divine anil true?
What glorious visions llierc arc still unfolit
ing Which here she never knew ?
bid niiKcl friends await her at her coining ?
lliil ani'el laws erect her with a smile?
Were all the dear ones eaRer to rei-eive her
Whom she hud lost fur awhile ?
A year on earth for us without tier presence;
A year of loneliness and grief and pain :
But still we smile amid our tenrs iu thinkiuK
our loss is but her gain.
We miss her in ourjoys nml in our sorrows;
She was our lite, our center anil irur sua :
And yet we would not call her hack, but
whisper,
"O, God, thy will be done I"
For heaven and earth are very close together.
ThoiiKh she is there, she is not far awav :
She could not leave the dear ones, lcrved so
fonilly,
ICven in flea veil to stay!
Hut still her spirit, like a guardian angel.
is neniluig o'er us with her own loud eare;
And sometimes she brings Ileuven so very
near us
We almost think we're there.
A yenr in I leaven for her, of rest and liles ing ;
i-ui us a year on earin, witu ner nnove;
Hut Heaven and earth are both togcthcr
iiiemiuig.
And over ull is Love !
The lines above express mv creed, al

WHY MAHONE W1I.I. LOSE.
A Viritinla Ki-purtlicau Sayw That
Nobody Can TruHt Mini.
?rotn the Philadelphia North American
A Northern gentleman, who has lived
in Virginia for several years, sends the
following letter apropos of the Republi-
an State Convention, which though not
written for publication, is so interesting
that it is presented to our readers:
"There is no more prospect of Mahouc
arrving the State this fall than there is
in his going to heaven in a railroad hand
car. 1 was closeted with Lol. Lamb,
Mahoue's heretofore ablest assistant in
this Slate, for one hour last Wednesday.
He told me frankly he was sick of Ma-
iouc and his meanness, as he expressed
it, in putting histwo sous on the Govern
ment. Lamb will positively refuse to so
in lull us touch the nomination for Gov
ernor. He will insist on Mahoue's tak
ing it himself. As he has so led the party
that no one can possibly lie elected this
fall, it is but just that Mnhone himself
shall bear the defeat. That he will lie
beaten nllMic way from ten to fifty thou
sand is clear to all who know what is
going on. I do not believe for one mo
ment that he cxiect8 to carry the State.
He got all he wanted before. He got
control of the party machinery that is,
the right to grab ull your deluded North
ern Republican' money that will lie sent
here and it you Northern Republicans
keep on feeding him with your money
he will send the party to a receiver, ns he
did his Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad.
"1 am a Republican from away back to
IKoG, but no inducement would make
me or my two sons vote his ticket. Of
the ten to twelve thousand Northern
men who have come here since 1S65 not
five hundred will vote his ticket this fall.
Besides, the negroes distrust him since
hisquarrel with Langston.so he will lose
.five to ten thousand of their votes this
time. There are at least twenty thou
sand Republicans here who will cither
vote a Democratic ticket or stay away
from the polls. It will be a C. J. Folgcr
or a Pattison campaign. Do not think
for a moment that I am grunting over a
disappointment in not getting an office,
as 1 have not applied for one and do not
want it. 1 am perfectly indccndcnt of
ottice-huntiug. 1 his is a Republican
State on n fair issue, and no mistake
about it, but with Mahone in the lend it
is useless to contest it, as we have no
confidence in his integrity. He will sell
us out as soon ns he did the Democrats,
and we know it and will not trust him."

THE EX-CONFEDERATES.
SECOND DAV OF THE CiKKAT
VETERANS' REUNION.
A Itfeetinic Where Tears Were
Mingled with Tears, ana Memo.
rleH sadly Tinged the Present
Pleasure of Meeting.
Reaching home late last night, owing
to a hclntcd train, we arc eouiK'lled to
lie much briefer in our account of the sec
ond day's proceedings than we had pro
posed. We will say more about it here
after. At present we omit many interest
ing details.
Yesterday was all that had been antic
ipated. The weather proved to be favor
able, after a morning of cloud and shower
over which the sun gained an occasional
and finally a controlling mastery. But
loul or fair, the people of the country
around were determined not to foregi
their participation in one of the most in
tcresting occasions that ever transpired
ill the county of Haywood; and from
early dawn until 10 o'clock, every road
leading into Waynesville was thronged
with vehicles of all descriptions, car
nages, buggies, wagons of all kinds ii
which whole families found a place, lath
ers, mother's, daughters, children, babies
and the highways presented an almost
unbroken cavalcade of men on horses
and mules, filling up the beautiful camp
grounds, though not crowding them; for
they were ample, being on a beautiful
grass covered flat on thesparkling waters
of Richland creek, dotted at intervals
with the majestic rcmainsof aoncegrand
forest of giant poplars, buckeyes and
beeches. And iu the wide intervals the
groups as they arrived disposed them
selves at their convenience in friendly or
neighborhood parties, and made their
arrangements for comfort or hospitality.
It was a such a gathering as is rarely
seen for its presentation of a noble popu
lation, intelligent, decorous, well dressed
and animated by feelings impressed with
the dignity, or rather the solemnity, of this
great gathering; for it was one full o
painful memories, aroused by the presence
of the remnant of survivors out of the
hosts that the counties represented sent
forth to battle and who never returned
And a natural feeling of sadness over
shadowed what would otherwise have
been a joyous, perhaps noisy, crowd.
The weather itself seemed in sympathy
with the pervading sentiment, which did
not find expression in grief or in tears,
but in tender, subdued emotion; and the
misty clouds as they rolled iu fleecy vol
umes along the sidesof the adjacent high
and beautifttl mountains, - ciling the
brightness of the sun for the while anil
dissolving themselves iu a suffusion of
moisture rather than in outpouring ol
rain, an alternation of nature's smiles
and tears, were exactly in harmony with
the mood of this large-concourse, swayed
gently to and fro by fluctuations of emo
tion.
The number present was between l-.ooo
and li.oOO; probably the latter number
is nearer the truth. Of course the greater
number were from Haywood. But there
were large numliers from BuiicoiiiIh-, a
still larger number from Jackson, many
from Swain, Graham and Cherokee, and
a few from Macon and Madison.
There were a number of the distin
guished men of the State present. There
was His ICxcilIcncy Daniel G. Fowle,
Governor of North Carolina ;ex-Govcrnor
Thomas J. Jarvis, late I'. S. Minister to
Brazil ; Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina Joseph J. Davis,
James li. Shepherd and A. C. Avery; cx-
Mcnibcrs of Congress from the Ninth dis
trict Robert B. Vance and Thomas D.
illusion; Colonel J. S. Mclilroy, Major
li. G. McDowell, of Tennessee, andothers
we do not recall. Henry W. Grady, who
was exK-cted, failed to apK-ar, much to
the general disappointment.
It was supposed that about 1,"00 vet
erans were on the ground yesterday. The
exact number will lie furnished us hcre-
ifler. In the busy movements of the
morning we could not find convenient
access to the record.
Maj. Slringfield was in general com
mand, and was eminently successful iu
carrying out all his his arrangements
with clock like precision. The Richland
Rifles in full numbers and line movement
gave a military brilliancy to the picture,
mil a drum corps from Asheville, and n
military band from Newton, gave the
martial animation required as a charac
teristic of the occasion. The stars and
striK'S floated over the Snakers' stand
;uid in freipient places over the grounds.
from the court house tower in Waynes
ville, and from many stores and private
houses in the town. It may be said here
that every place of business in Wnynes
villc was closed alter 10 o'clock in the
morning, and the whole population went
into camp.
At half past ten precisely, Mr. Garland
S. Ferguson, from the stand, called the
assemblage to order, and in touching
language reminded the great gathering
around him that the present occasion
was one of more pain than pleasure, be
cause it was more a service for the dead
than of the living. The presence of sur
vivors, happily as many as they were.
only reminded of the far greater numlier
that had gone beyond the hearing of an
earthly roll call. He said, in shaking of
man's responsibility to God, that it was
the impulse of the soldier when going
into battle to ask God for protection, iu
coining out of it to thank Him for safety.
And this recognition of the power and
goodness of God, made it appropriate
on this occasion to thank Him that so
many present had been spared the perils
of battle should now join in general
praise and thanksgiving ; and he called
upon the Rev. Mr. Salyar to open the ex
ercises with prayer, which that gentle
man did with fervor and eloquence.
Mr. Ferguson then introduced
Mr. W. B. Ferguson, who made
the speech ol welcome to the Veterans,
which was responded to by Col. B. G.
McDowell; and they were followed suc
cessively by Gen. Cliiiginan, Hon. R. B.
Vance and Hon. Thus. D. Johnston. In
turn Col. J. S. Mclilroy took his place to
spenk, but was so overcome by his emo
tions that he burst into tears and re.
tired; a scene altogether touching uml
more impressive than verbal eloipiene.
It is not possible here to refer farther to
the speeches.
After the speaking the crowd dispersed
to dinner, and to the barbecue.
After dinner the veterans in line again
marched to the stand, where Gov. Jarvis
delivered the memorial address, followed
by Judge Davis and others. But we' left
the grounds at I! o'clock, hoping to take
the train at its schedule hour, in which
we were disappointed. But we shall have
more to say of the celebration; ami we
also hope to have the aitcrnoon gap
supplied.

brilliance, intelligence, wealth and dis

The Stale Fair.
This is not far oil', and we hope every
part of the State will exert itself to make
it a more successful one than ever. Of it
the Charlotte Chronicle says:
It is a mistake to regard the State
Fair as a local undertaking in behalf of
I he city of Raleigh Strangers who visit
it will not so regard it. They will look
upon it as a State exhibit, and it is
therefore incumbent upon those who
have the material wcilarc of the State
at heart to encourage and support the
Fair, iu behalf of North Carolina.
The Fair should be. as far as possible,
a "biid's-eyc-vicw" of the resources of
the State. That cannot lie fully realized.
But, with the co-operation of the whole
Slate, the Fair can be made an enter
taining exhibit, n wholesome enterprise,
and an advertisement profitable to all
State interests.
Let everybody who can, lend a helping
hand to the State Fair.

minuted, and Prof. Pearson's Battery
Park orchestra furnished dcliirhtful music
throughout the evening.
A wealth of ticauty, wit and fashion
filled the spacious reception rooms and
parlors, and of all that throng it would
have been difficult to have selected one
who was not a distinguished leader in
Ihe social world to which he or she be
longed, livery section of the Union was
represented, and a more delightful com
pany of fair women and gallant men
could not possibly have been drawn to
gether in any city other than Asheville.
Carriages containing those who had
received invitations to the reception l
gau arriving at the club house at 8.30
o'clock, and from that hour until nearly
ten there was a constant stream of visi

doors. Knell arrival was warmly wel

of an evening that will not soon be for
gotten. At 11.30 supper was announced, and
those present sat down to an elegant re
past, served ill exquisite style in the large
dining room of the building. Such a
spread as this was cannot be deserilicd
it was a feast for the gods; or, what is
better, a banquet for the daintiest of epi
curean mortals.
Among those who occupied seats at
this banquet, the most observed of ull
observers, was the beautiful daughter of
the honored guest of the evening. Miss
