July roses wet with rain
Tap against the window fane:
There is something they would seek,
Had they voices and could apeak.
Silence seals their crimson lips,
Amd the dull rain drops and drips.
The other side the streaming glass
Stands a little sad-eyed lass:
There is something she would seek.
But a maiden may not speak-'
Silence seals her longing lips,
And the dull rain drops and drips.
And salt tears in showers stain
Her side of the window-pane:
And the crimson roses grow
Pale as dreams dreamt long ago.
(Hearts may break behind sealed lips).
And the dull rain drops and drips.

LYNCHING.
Suffolk, (Va.) Observer.
Saturday afternoon about 9 o'clock
while officer J. S. Branch was on his
way towards Chuckatuck, with Isaac
Jenkins in cliarge, in kis buggy, a
crowd of persons walked out in the
road and ordered the officer to stop,
at the same time catching hold olthe
fcridle of the horse. The officer drew
his weapons and ordered them to
stand back, but the crowd being over
powering in numbers commanded him
to drop his hands without fireincr,
they having weapons leaveled at his
head, seeing the peril he was in there
was nothing to do but obey, or be
killed. The mob then knocked out
the darkey and carrying him off strung
him up to a tree with his hands fast,
and they also put a shot or two in
theiieck. alter which they left. The
darkey fell to the ground, the rope
parting and he came too and slipped
the ropes from his hand after wkich
he secreted himself. The Sheriff and
said officer went to the darkey's resi
dence, where his wife informed them
that she knew where he was, but did
not tell.

M' nrtwright ordered him to move
from fvs laud. He did so, and since
then Mr. C. had had some 8 ho-ses
poisoued and his house burned down
atF -Hole. The darkey, it is
said, told some one of the poisoning
of some horses, and this led to the
lynching.

a white man was considered as good

the Governor of North Carolina took it
into his head' one day to pay a long
nromised visit to his neighbor, the
Governor of South Carolina. So he
put a clean shirt and a pair of socks
in his saddle bag, mounted his horse
and rode away through the pine for
cats toward the south. Diligently
following his nose in this direction he
came in due time to . the home of his
brother Governor, where he was re
ceived with all the honors of genuine
Southern hospitality. When asked
how he felt his characteristic reply
was, "Thank you, Governor, I am
tired, sleepy, hungry and sober.' ' The
host cordially assured him that h
could remedy all these.
INexC dav dinner was served at
twelve o'cock as the horn blew for
the hands to come in. After it was
over the two Governors retired to the
shade of the long back porch, where
corncob pipes, wth long twists o
home grown tobaceo awaited them.
There, in the long, soft afternoon,
reolin: ng on easy bottom rockers, they
lolled and smoked and talked the
hours away. Betwixt the twain, on
the floor, sat a brimming pitcher ot
apple toddy, with the mellow, roasted
fruit impudently floating on the sur
face of the divine tipple. From time
to time this aided and enlivened the
conversation. 1 hey talked of tfet
j comparative excellences and advan
tages of thcr respective States, of
the price ol cotton of horse raising
and run away negroes, as they talked
they smoked and as they smoked thev
drank. They speculated on the com
ing glories of the country, they pled
ged eternal friendship to each other
personally, and vowed to preserve all
neighborly courtesies between the
two Carolina States forever and lor

The Puzzling Case of Ah Wing.
"Well, this stumps me." said Lawyer
G. W. Stapleton the other day as he con
cluded the reading of ft letter from Ah
Wing, a Chinaman who is serving a lif.
sentence in the Deer Lode penitentiary.
Ah Wing wrote Mr. Stapleton that he
was in for life, and wanted to knov
what effect the Geary law would have
upon him. The law provides that all
Chinamen should register at a certain
time May 6. If they are not registered
at that time they shall be dfjorted. Ah
Wing says the prison authorities woulu
not let him out to register, and h'e wili
be perfectly satisfied to go back to China.
This is a condition which the fwmm
of the law hardly looked for. and it i
likely the supreme court will be called
upon to settle the point. Ah Wing
