A. M. Waddell to write bis remlnltoenoes o( "Old Frank John son," whioh be did, ai follows t .. The following article was banded me wltb the request that I would mpplement it wltb some of my own remioiseenees of Old Frank Johnson,"- and in comply log: with tbe request it it difficult to say whether tbe disposition to isngb or to weep predominates. Old 1 Frank's eareer was by no means eoofloed to tbe Uoaooke and Warren sections oi tbe State. He lived for som time in WilmiDeton. and. I think, died here, oc very toon after be leftbere. For some years prior to 1862 he played at tbe commencement dsii at tne univer sit y, when the dining room of Miss Nancy HillUrd'i botel was used for tbe purpose, and reference to ; this was made in my e-ntennial oraitoo at tbe University in 1895.' H'a "band" torn times went oat of toe mate to piay at balls and parties one .notable occasion being tbe martisge ot ft tMietgn gen tleman in Sooth Carolina in 1867. at wbicb I, with three or fonr other Wil miogtoniaoB, all of whom -are dead, cffioittted ai grocmimen Old Frank nettallv wore a stovepipe bat, a stock of tbe old kind Instead of a cravat, and sniketail eoat with brass buttons, and was" very dignified and formal, bat pos sessed tbe obaraoteristie bomor'ot bis raoe. Notbins exalted bit entbostaam so muoh at good, dancing not walking through the figures of ft cotillion or reel, bat that combination of agility and grace .which constituted tbe ideal in hit day, and wst .the despair ot the clumsy or awkward bean, .Tbe tight of such a dancer, gave' new lite to bis fiddle-bow, and txtctted from biro gleefal laughter and audible upres siont ef delight wbile he played. . To call what be and bit "btod" extraoted 'rom their instramentt' - music, io any other tense than may be applied to any. lively and stirring sounds from Addles and ootave Jlites, wonld be to the last degree- provincial now-a-days, bnt they oonld play tbe dance. music of their time in (bo rural districts better than any one else -so well indeed that it was diffloalt for any one to keep ttill wbile it w-t going on. Bis piece de resistance was "Clear the Track," wbicb be and bit ton, John," played better, I verily believe, than .anybody in tne woria. its fnaoi was eieoinoai. When ordered to Chatham county to raise a company in 1861. I hired Old Frank's band to go with me to stir up the boys, and tome of tbe scenes'! bit ensut d bave never been paralleled in my experience. They were paroxysms ot revelry, duiitig wbicb patriotism wat at fever beat, bnt io many rases tbe fever tooled off with tbe -cessation ot music, at wat illaatrated in one ease by a strapping yonng fellow who, after (.anoing in tne middle oi tne eonniy road in a sort of freccy, excused him self for enlisting -with the patbetie remark that he .was anxions at any man to fio-ht for hit conntrv. bnt that be "bad a powerful misery in bit breatt and wat badly corrupted." - I think the first tims 1 ever beard um Frank wat at a 8ound party at Wrights- viile. Having for a partner in tbe dance a very spirited and pretty girl, weoom eanered so vigorously tbat the old fl low rose from bis seat witn trie tuaie still under bis chin, and bowing, but continuing to play, exclaimed! ; "Dat's de thins I Please Qod bit 'minds me o' wben I was young." Imagine tbe leader of ball-room orchestra oi tne nreeent dav taming loose io tbat style, or a couple of daneeii cutting tbe pigeon wing as we did I out mere oan be no doubt that we bad mora far, and er joyed ourselvea more tbaa tie modem. Old Frank was himself ft remarkably tine daneer, and sometimes, after tbe ladies had retired, the fount? men won Id order wine or stronger drak for bim, and, when be became a little tbawed, he wonld mike John play and have an exhibition ot the old fellow's tkill ia tbe art.:.

He say ft As to mneh has bei.n written of oar old friend Frank Johnson, ot fiddling and dancing memory, we will not be reminiscent mncn at we migni easuy be. of one we knew personally at well at any man of his color tare those ot hit race of onr owq boyiBh home.

As there set nt to be a mincmcep'ion ot the imneaobiueot proeeeilings irjsti tated in North Carolina agaiust-two of tbe Supreme Court jadgea, and as mere be those who may tbipk that tbe im- Seaebment it a political matter, it is ut right tbat the people be advised as to ibe facts thatmade snob action necessary on the part ot tbe people of North Carolina in dtfeosa ot their Constitution and their taored righlt. - First,ltwts not th long line of fBce holding eases (39 io nnmber) in wbicb tbe Supreme Conrt practically nullified tbn, acts ii tbe General As- embli of 1899. on whiohtbe impeach ment was founded. It it troe they may have been eoneidered in ehowiog tbe animus of the Court, tbat followed np and extended ao old precedent at vari anee with tbe law in foroe elsewhere io tbe Union, declaring tbat ft pnblic office was a ' "contract", creature higher than its -creator, tbat one Legis lature could Install a nan intffi ie for fonr, eight or even "forty yean" and that sabscqaent Legislatures were pow erless to remove bim or alter tbe office so long as any ot the duties pf tha office remained, a doctrine at varianoe with II of oar institutions, on too clearly oat of line to admit of defense. ' Second. Tbe above showed tbeir animus, oat tt wst still wtiDio tne law snob at it wat,. It was ooly wben tbey went farther, when- tbey defied tbe Legislator. vinUted tbe Conetitotinn, and tittered tht Treamni not only with out authority of lav but in wilful delanoe and violation of it, that aotion became necessary. I Mote tbe law : 1. Constitution of North Carolina. Article lV,8eatioo 9; "Claims against the State. Tbe Supreme Conrt shall have original joritdiotion to hear claims against the State, bat Its decisions shall be merely reoommeodatory; no prooeet ia tbe oa'ure of exeoation shall isne the'eon they $hall be reported to the next eettion of tho General Auembly for iti action'' Uor'S'itntion of Nona Uarolita, Ar tide XIV, Siotjoo 3: "Drawing Money.

Now note the Acts of tbe General Assembly:- (a) Chapter 13. Laws ot 1897 (Fu sion Legislature). "An act to provide tor and promote tbe otstib industry io North Carolina", provided for a Chief Inspector" for term ot fonr years at $900 a year. (b) Chapter 19, Laws of 1899. "An act to provide for Ibe general aapervit ioa ot the SHtXL-nsH industry of tbe State ot North Carolina,"- repealed all former laws (oysler) in conflict, and provided for seven "shell-flth commie sionert" for a term ot two years at $400 year. (c) Chapter 21.

MaoK. How f anitoa Captured Agalaalda ,. , A Manila cable of Thursday night taya i :. - GeneVaT Fred- Fonatotij "who,.bn March 23rd, captaied Emilio Agalnal do, wbea Iptcivlewtd to-day by tha representatives oithe Associated Press, made the following statement concern ing. the capture ol tbe Filipino leader: . The confidential agent of Agulnaldo arrived February a8.h at Pantaban ga'n, in the Province of Neuva Ecija, Northern Luzon with letters dated Ian nary nth, 12th and 14th. Tbene let ters were front Emilio Agatnafldo and directed BaldertneroAgulnald totake command of tba Provinrea of Central Luzon, supplanting General Alejaa drino. Emilio Aiininaldo alto ordered tbat four hundred men be aent aa toon aa poetlble, any log that -tha Nearer of the letters wonld guide these men to where Agulnaldo was. . General Fnoston aeenred the cor respondent of Agalnaldo't agent and kid his plana accordingly. Some months previous he bad captured the camp of the insurgent General Lacuna, Incidentally obtaining Lacuna's seal. official papers and a quantity of signed correspondence. From this material two letters were constructed, ostensi bly from .Lacuna to Aguinflldo. One of these contained information as to the progress of the war. The other asserted that, pnrsnant to or ders received from Baldermero Agul naldo. Lacuna was sending bis best company to President Emilio Agni- naido. His plana completed and approved, General Funston came to Manila and organized his expedition, selecting seventy-eight Macabebes, all of whom spoke Tagalog fluently. Twenty wore Insurgent uniforms, and the others the dress of Filipino laborers. This Ma cabebe company, armed with fif y Mausers, eighteen Remingtons and ten Krag JorgeusedS was commanded by Captain Russell T. Uazzaid, of the Eleventh United States volunteer cav airy. With him was his brother, Lieu tenant (jiiverip. Mszzard, ot tne same regiment. Captain Harry W. Newton, Thirty-fourth infantry, was taken be cause of bis familiarity with Casiguran Bay. and Lieutenant Burton I. Mitch ell. Fortieth infantry, went aa Gen eral Fnnston'a aide. These were the only Americans accompanying the leader ot tne expedition. With the Macabebes were lour ex- Insurgent officers, one being a Span iard and the other three lagaios, whom General Funston trusted Im plicitly. -General Funston and the American officers wore plain bine shins and khaki trousers. Tbey carried each a half blanket, but wore no Ins go ia of rank. The Macabebea were carefully instructed to obry the orders of the four ex -insurgent othcers On the night of March 8tb tbe party embatked on tbe United States gun boat Vickiburg. It was origiaally io tended to take cascoes from tbe Island of Polillo and to drift to tbe mainland ; bnt a storm arose and three of tbe cascoes were lost. This plan was aban doned. At 2 a. m., Match 14 h. tbe Vicksbnrg put her lights out and ran inshore tv;eoly-five miles sou'b ot Caai gnian, Province of Principe. Tbe party landed and marched to Casiguran Tba Americani bad never garrisoned tbit alaoe and tbe inhabitants" are etrong insurgent rympatbissra. Hav ing arrived there tbe ex-insurgent r ttt oera ostensibly commanding tbe ptrty, announeed tbat tbey were on tbe way to join Aguinaldo between Paotcbagan and Baler, that tbey bad surprised an Amerioan surveying party, nod tbat tbey bad killed a nnmber, capturing five. Tbey exhibited General Fanstoo and tha other Americans aa their priso sera. " - .'' Tbe insure-ent Presidente ot Caaiga rao belivo4 the story. Two of the Lacuna letters, previously concocted were forwarded to Aguinaldo at Pal nan. frovinee ot Isabella, uenerai Fnnstou and tba othert were kept im prisoned for three days, surreptitiously giving otdjra at night. Uj toe nwro ing pf March 17ib, taking a small quantity ot cracked corn, the prty started on a ninety mile march to ral aoao. The oouoiry is rmitb aad an inhabited, and Diovieuns eiuld 001 ba secured, .The party ate small shell fijb, but were almost starved. Wading swift . rivers, onmbing precipitous mountaini and penetrating dense jan gles, tbey marobed seven days and nights, and 00 March zzod bad reaeued a noint eight miles from Palanan. They wer now so week that it was necessary to tend to Aguinaiao's amp for food. ' Aguinaldo dispatch d sup plica and directed tbat tbe American prisoners be Kindty treated, out not os allowed to enter the town. On tbe morning ot March 23rd tbe advance was resumed. . Tbe column wat met by tba staff offi cers of Acui naldo and a detachment ot Aguioaldo's body guard, which wat ordered to take obnrge ot tha Americans. . While one ot tha tx-iosurgent offi cert eonversed with Aguioaldo's aide, another, Spaniard, sent eourier to warn General Funston and the rest, who, with eleven Maceabebes, were about an hour behind. Having re ceived this warning, General Funston avoided Agninaldo't detaebmeut and joired the column, avoiding obsetva tion. ibe lagaios went aueaa to greet Asoineldo and tba column slowly 101 lowed, finally arriving at Palanan Acoiaaldo's household troops. Dtty men in neat uniforms of blue and white, and wearing atraw hats, lined bp '0 receive the new comers. Gsner-' nn ston's men crossed the river iu email boata. formed on tbe bask, and march ed to the right and then In front of tba insurgent grenadiers. The lagaios entered the house where Aguinaldo was. '---'' - - Suddenly tha Spanish officer, notio ing that Agninaldo't aide watwatoh ins- tha Amerioant suspiciously el claimed t . "Now,- Macabebea, go tor them." The Macabebea opened tire, bot their aim was rather ineffective, and only three insurgents were killed. Tha rebels returned tba Bra, ua near oa tha flrioir. Agaioaldo. wh avi dently thought his. men were merely eelebratiog tha arrival ot reintorte mentt. ran to tbt window sod shouted "Stop tbat foolishness I Q lit wasting amunition I" Hilario Placido, one ot tba Tagalog effloers and a f jtmer insurgent major, who wat wounded Id the loon by the tie of Ctloocan, threw his arms arcuod Aguinaldo, exulaimiog: "You are a prisoner of the Americani," Colonel Simeon Villia, Aguioaldo's chief of tuff, M jr; Atsmbra and others attacked lh- men who wre holding Aguinaldo. ; Paoido shot Vil lis is ih sbon'der.

It wit also dis covered tbat Aguinaldo, on Jaooary 28. h, bad proclaimed himself dictator. Hehid been living at Palanan forte Ten month.., uodistuibsd. exept wben a detachment of Ibe Sixteenth ibfantry visited tbe town. Oa 1 bat occasion the entire population took to the monn tains and remained there until, tbe troops retired. Agaioaldo admitted that be bad corns near to beins captnred before, but be asserted that be bad never been wounded, adding: "I sbonld never bav been taken ex cept by a stia'agem. I was completely deceived by Lacuna's forged signa tore." Be feared be might be sent to Guam, aid be was quite glad to come to Manna. Palanan was guarded by numerous ou'posts and signal ttatioos. During ba Dint none of lha Macabtbes were wounded. The rxp&dition rested March 24 h and then marched sixteen milee tbe fol'owinir day to Palanan Bty, where General Ftioaton found lha Vicksbnrg, wbicb brought bim to Manila. -Com mander Barry, of the Vioksbnrg, ren dered General Funston splendid as sistance. Aguinaldo, who talked freely of past events, said he supposed General Trias would proclaim himself dictator, not even knowing tbat Trias had surrend ered. He behaved courteously and gave no trouble. General Funston tayt Aguinaldo is above the average io inteiligenoe and bas prepossessing manners. -. Ltsal Pelitlei March 20. 1001. ' Mb.

BATTLES OF NATURE. tJaeeaalBa; Strasrslee Which End In SnrvlTal of Fltteat. We read the tablets of long ago wbicb the. geologist has deciphered for us, nod we find them an endless story of battles. " The -successful- species which occupy the great geological horizons hnve.come out of great tribu lation. Tbe trilobltea and stone- lilies of the silurinn period, the gigantic club moss and fluted sigillarlans of tha coal age, tbe enormous ammonites of the Jurassic and chalk epochs, the mighty elephants and majestic deer forma of the tertiary era are magnates. of tbe times and masterpieces of the struggle. Tbey have been redeemed - at great price, even of a thousand species and tens of thousands of Individuals who fell short ot the typical fitness and were killed out These magnates, each in Its turn, were pioneers of progress, like tbe scouts of a great army and were caught In a physiological am bush. Tbe pedigree of the horse in the most recent past has been made out traced ahall we say, for a hundred thousand years before man came on tbe scena (for Lord Kelvin asked tbe geologist to hurry up snd not be too lavish with time or we should bave. add 200,000. years before man). Tbe fleetneas, grace and strength ot tbe horse are owing to his ability to walk on one toe, to which have been correlated the wonderful Instincts by which he- baa become the partner of man In his Industries and struggles.' He has been derived in almost a strict gradation from the two toed, three toed, four toed' and Ova toed ancestors which flourished In the ages which preceded man. Myriads of Individuals and all tbe species' and varieties died out to make room for tha one toed selection to enable this favor ite to occupy the ground unthwarted by crossing or by recurrence to average forms.
