Tiiere is no question that of the two gentlemen whose names are be ing spoken of in connection with the Democratic presidential nomina tion, Mr. Cleveland is decidedly more popular than Gov. Hill.

We believe ii would be unwise to change the manner of electing United States Senators, for the equal ity and sovereignty of the States should in some way be recognized, but, in connection with this subject, the "Wilmington Messenger perti nently asks: Is it not about tinu to elect the Senators by popular vot?

Typhoid fever and the grip have about subsided, and the pill vender refuses to be comforted. There is a breed of hogs in this neighborhood that is no larger than a " possum " at six months old.

Miss Carrie Toger, of Flows, is visiting Miss Lizzie Long. Misses Long and Roger visited Misses Laura and Dora Klutts, on Easter Monday. They all went tishingin the evening, accompanied by Willie Hough, and h id a very pleasant time, indeed. They wound up the day's sport with a beat rule which, Mr. Hough savs, was transceiidenHy del;;;htf ul. Mr. John White showed usa knife that belonged to his grandpa ninety five years ago. After being handed down through several generations, it is still a good knife. It is a pen knife, with a big blade in one end and a little blade in the other. Air. White's grandfather married in 1705 and had owned the knife several years prior to i.is marriage, which would make the knife more than a century old. Mr. White said his grandpa was a school master, and used this knife to make rjuill pens for his scholars His grandpa was named John, and hailed from Scot land; was born in March, married in March, and died in March. Friend Cook wants to regale him self on some nice poetry, dedicated, he says, to the "Spring Ronnet." If he knew as much about the bonnet question as some of we married men do, he would touch lightly upon it, unless he wauU-d to suy something real handsome about it. The fact is, he would like to give a swipe at it, with his pungent pen, and to be sure no man could do it better than he, but there's a lady in the house. Will not some kind friend give the hornets' nest a rap, and make some diversion for the rolicking editor? Really, I know nothing about your "spring bonnet," nor hat, either. I'm no vo'ary of fashion ; have neither the time, versatality of mind, or inclination to write a satire upon the ever prevailing freaks of fashion. If 1 were to undertake the task, however, I should expect to find material, for the most I should have to say, among vain bovs and foppish dudes. You cannot accuse the ladies of immoderation without including the other sex, also. If any differ ence, men are more "cranky "on " keeping up with the fashion ' than the ladies are, and their caprices are, as a general thing, ten times more unjustifiable and insatiable than those of the women. I have had seven years' experience under the reign of woman's sceptre, and tind that it is best to keep on the sunny side of them. Of course wo man is lovely, she can't help it, but she's an intricate composition of in comprehensibility. She has an utter contempt for philosophy or logic, and can rarely be induced to give n reason for the tenets of her faith upon anything; yet with an un swerving devotion and invincible purpose, she will battle down every impediment that offers resistance to her projects. If she wants a new dress, or new anything els, ehe'Jl have it. She needs to m.ike no ar guments t.i bolster up her desires it is a natural effect if a natural law for her to have everything nice that conns along, if she can get it, 8 ml if she can't get it she'll find some body who can get it f jr her. Some one has said that if there was a lad der, reaching from earth to Heaven, and you were to ascend it, you would find a woman sitting on the top round. Of course she knows and cares nothing about how she got there, just so she has gotten there If you criticise her dress, you stab the' tenderest sensibilities of the soul. Then, ye critics, hurl your shafts at the spider-longed dude, for lie is the most worthless bab oon on earth. Coknck ukkk. R HE DROPS DEAD AT Tltr. MANSION AT MIDNICHT 1KO M A SI'KOKKOK APOl'LKXY.

Kditor Standard : A band of noble women and men meet with the determination of spending their hard earned means for the amelioration of those who are so unfortunate as to be unable to help themselves. As I mused over the situation this morning, the tirst thought was ; Impossible; these women have un dertaken more than they can do, and yet when did they ever fail when on missions of mrcv "' Du ring the last winter, with its extra ordinary iunount of sickness and consequent want, they were daily at the beside of the sick and distressed, ministering to their spiritual and physical wants, relieving hundreds that otherwise would have been cast on the public. If they have done this in a desultory ami unmethodi cal way, what may they not do if they adopt a system where every dollar will be spent methodically and where they can personally di rect the efforts made for the help less? Without pretending to ad vise these people, for I know enough of them to know that they under stand what they are about, why not start a Masterdonic Hospital Asso tion here by making a personal ap peal to every man, woman and child in the town to take a membership? Have live circles, No. 1 pay a monthly membership fee of 10 cents, No. 2, 20 cents, and so up. With what the moneyed men of the town will give them for a nucleus and this as a reserved fund, it seems to me success would be in sight, and then the town as a corpo ration owes something. I don't mean ought to give or donate them something. I used the word owe in its strict legal sense, for if they take upon themselves this work that primarily belongs to the town, surely the town ought to pay them something for doing it. God speed them in this noble charity. Urge them on with your noble paper, that is always with those who love to help the un fortunate, and with that trio, Women, the I'ress and the Pulpit, success is certain. CoSCORD. .

Today we present to our re (let s the portrait of one of New York s railroad magnates, nnd who at the same time is a successful bnuker. John P rrppnt Morgan came of a fa mous family; he was born in Hart ford, Conn., April 15, ls;57, and was educated at the English High School, Boston ; later on he went abroad and studied at Gottmgt-u University in Germany, returmnz to the United Stares in 185S. He then entered a banking firm, and m l!?i;i became agent and lttorney in the United States for the great Lon don bouse, George Peabody A; Co., a position lie still holds. He is now a member of the wideh- known banking linn Drexel, Mo:gan it o., a house which is among the chief negotiators of railroad bonds. It was to Mr. Morgan's hands that the foreign owners of the leading rail roads confided their stock when the question arose how to reorganize that property and to save it from destruction. Until lately he was the movii g spirit in the new agree meut between the western roads. Mr. Morgan is an active church member, ami is a vestryman in Dr. Rainsfoi d's famous church. All the seats in this cnurch are free, and many a Sundaj Mr. Morgan, after having ushered people in humble circumstances to a seat, is ob.iged himself to lis ten standing to his pis tor's sermon.

I'owle to be re funded to those who are entitled ro it, has made a formal report to the Gov ernor, in w hich he sets forth at length the history of the raising of the di rt et taxes, etc. The money having teen obtained, the next question i-, how to pay it out to the persons enti tled to it. Tn ere are at Washington :ibout one hundred and fifty books containing the stul-s of the tax iv eeip's w hich form the n cord upon which, as a basis, the money will have to be paid nt. Properly accredited agents of the sta'e uill have to cepv this record. In closing his report, Mr l!usb.e suggests the pnb'iea'ion of (h;' fal lowing statements of interest to ihe public: "The books h.ive not vet been tin li ed over to the State for exam nati in. inr is the exact number of the Looks or the amount of work to be done et ascertained. It is not j o-.-iU.-. s yet, accurately to estimate the I-i:glh of time which t his work will require, but it will probably be at lea-t sixtv days before the panientof ebiiins can begin. Until the copis are received in Raleigh, there is no l. .. '.. .i iii'oi 1 1 Lt 1 1 mi uaiecr in i ne Governor's uflioe concerning the names of the persons who paid the taxes, and the amount paid.

Looking in his face, she seemed to see lu him the one fur whom she had been waiting, ami she went up to him and whispered tiumby, "P,euse. sir, will you help me ovei ?'" The old man saw thi little girl safely across thu street; and when he atlei w lids told ilie story he said: 'Tht little giii's trust is o e of tne greatest ompiiments J ever had in my life.''
