YIKWS OF ANUl.VII.I.i:.
The Standard thanks its esteemed
and interesting exchange, the Asho
ville Citizen, of the land of the skv.
for a larjre "Bird's live View cf
Asheville." The streets, houses ai d
the mountain section are beautifully
lithographed. The Cbizen is mak
ing a present of one of these for a
gix months subscription (o.00) to
the Citizen. The work is really
superior, and we can trace on it the
path of Al. Fairbrother, of the Dur
ham Globe, when found in his lost
and bewildered condition while in
attendance upon the Immigration
Convention in December.
r.RTAIXI.Y MISTAKEN.
The report that Lecturer Hen Ter
rell, who has been addressing large
meetings of representative men in the
State, "said Vance, Vest, Carlisle
and Mills were not statesmen, but
contemptible demagogues," is cer
tainly false. At any jate, Mr. Ter
rell, in hi? speech here, said noth
ing of the kind. To say such a
thing would be out of place and un
called for, and Mr. Terrell was cer
tainly fair, conservative aud very
gentlemanly in all his utterances,
and we don't believe the remarks
credited to him to be correct. Even
now, Alliance men were deeply im
pressed with his speech.
OF SOME IXFIKMIT1FS."
Judge Schenck's tribute to (!ov.
Fowle: "A man of some infirmities
but no vices." Those who knew the
lamented Fowle best are ready to say
amen to this.
Like all men, and especially poli
ticians, Gov. Fowle had his infirmi
ties. These things enter into the
make-up of all, a kind of contagion
that lurks around to lay hold of
every new-comer among tlie human
family; and i 1 some the soil and its
preparation are more adapted for
imbibing this contagion than other
specimens.
But Governor Fowle had "no
vices," This is worth no little in
the biography of any man.
There is no doubt that a number
of public men have held wanner
places in the hearts of North Caro
linians; yet North Carolinians will
honor themselves, in years to come,
by the just an J proper memory of
the truly gallant Fowle, with his
devotion and love for the State and
with his spotless record in times of
war and peace.
A XKW YORK M. I. OX XORI IIt.RX
I'RIVOXS OF WAR.
That art-'cle of Dr. John A.
IVveth, in April Century, on 'lie
treatment of Confederate war pris
oners at Camp Morton, near Indi
anapolis, is likely to give rise to a
tiue controversy. Dr. Wyeth.was
liiinciif u j-i iiuiiei . u i.i lie savs he
has waited twenty-eight ears, until
sectional bitterness had in a meas
ure passed away, before publishing
to the world tne inexcusable cru
elty practiced upon helpless captives.
No sooner does the article see the
light than one W. II. llolladay,
Private Secretary of Gov. Morton
during the war, declare it a willful
misrepresentation, and claims to be
able to disprove everv stateme.it
made by Dr. W.
The Doctor says he is prepared
with incontrovertible evidence of the
truth of his assertion, and is anxious
for llolladay to attempt to carry out
his purpose.
It seems a little strange that Dr.
Wyethe should have waited all these
years to give the facts to the public,
especially when such a howl has
been raised by the northern press
about Libhy and Andersonville.
TIIF.RF. ARE TWO SIIIKS.
'One fellow works, the other
doesn't; but the one that does Lot
work gets the nickle."
Somebody hears this every day
sometimes it hits aud sometimes it
misses. There may be truth in it,
hut it is pretty sorry philosophy.
There are results for every act, for
every influence and for every effort.
Theie may be luck he's been ident
ified loug ago in human affairs ;
but luck is another name for push,
shrewdness, common sense or know
ing how to strike when the iron is
hot. This thing of men waiting on
luck is all stuff, sorry at that.
lint there are phases of life for us
all some are hard, 'tis true, Un
there are conditions that enter into
the affairs of men that must be
recognized and they are felt.
Oue fellow, in luxury and idleness
perhaps, gets the gout all over ; an
other, with r.ose to the grind-stone
and tights like a little man to keep
the wolf from the door and to keep
fconiething in the cupboard, gets
weak at the knees, shows :ige and
struggles on till he dies something
w e all have to do.
The story of the way people live
has never been written except in
reality ; disease, health, comfort,
"want, happiness, sorrow, sweetness,
bitterness, kindness, meanness, suc
cess and failure battle with each
other in the lives of men, yet prttty
generally mixed before the thing u
over, and the story of a lite is
checked, scalloped and badly freck
led. It takes grit and a grip to hold
on all is not sweetness; for all is
not gold that glitters. The rich
have sorrows, so have the poor ; and
all have pleasures peculiar to tlum
eelvts. And these things have to be
tasted, for you can't sit off and see
the procession go by yon are in it,
one of 'em.
Some meu kick about equality and
heights and depths, but there is a
level, a common level: the bottom
of the grave levels all humanitv.

President Harrison is bv no means
blind to the political recognition of
the colored num. Ho has appointed
John C. Dancy, a colored man of
Tarboio, to be collector of customs

MAX'S si.i;
A very able divine of one of the
Concord churches said recently: "It
is a great blessing to humanity that
man's estimate of man is not author
itative; for if it required a unani
mous vote of ti e town, there would
not be a do;:e;i in Concord to get to
heaven."'
This is teo trne. But human na
ture is u study, the wide world our.
Flie savage may possess some good
traits not found in civilisation, yet
civili.ed man has the advantage of
the savage in the possession of many
superior traits. Man's a funny
thing in some of his tastes ; he con
demns a thing in one man that he
overlooks in another; h" helps in
one case win-re he pulls back m a
similar one; ana lie likes one man
and he dislikes another one that
superior. You can't bet on what a
,i . ii- i; .i
ma:i s KOiu.U 10 uo. ins semsniiees
blinds him; his tastes make him
partial ami actions make him. m tne
sight of some, good; ia the sight of
others, a scoundrel.
Some men delight in the failure
of others: some men step on a L'l -
low after he is down: some men say
they pity a leliow, when they don t :
and thev wi-h all manner of stuii
when thev don't wish anything at all.
In this dav and time, when inter-
ests differ, when men have iions in
the tire, when things drop on nu n's
tots, every fellow is looking out for
No. 1. He's the gentleman that gets
the attention.
Men get mad and angry and sour
and spiteful and irritable and pevish
and childish too easily and too often.
They are too ready to impugn the
motives of other men, to cry 'seli
interest" when a fellow proposes a
scheme, and to attae.i sinister mo
tives to the actions of men.
Some nun won't work unless they
are bell sheep, and failing there they
become stubborn and draw their fol
io .vers around them and make fac
tions. Some men forget that it's a fu-e
country and that tverv man has a
right to think for himself, if he has
a thinktr, and to entertain opinions,
e :
lint it's thus everywhere,
truth of the matter is, we m

Here's a man (a husband', and
here's a woman i a wife;. From the
teachings of Holv Writ, from written
and unwritten Jaw, and from
neighbors, we learn of the duties of j
the contracting partus. They say ,
there is a good deal of love connected !
with ir. and an injunction to over
look weaknesses, faults at.d short
comings and such like.
That ought to be done at all times ;
and under all conditions. Bat 'tis i
not. When we henr of tho.-e who. !
in the presence of living witnesses)
and in the sight cf the great Creator, !
promise to love and care lor eceh
oth-T, go wrong, cross swords and
test the merits of law, we think then
of sad things, of sir, of meanness,
of bitterness, of contention, and of
general hard-headedness.t We also
ihink of the blindness of humanity.
There is such a thing of loving too
much, too ardently and too devotedly.
Men love too hard or hate too bit
ter y ; women love blindly and
strongly or hate the same way.
There is a golden mien in every
thing. Neuly everv bov when Cu id

his favorite (if that be the technical
term) is the collection of perfection,

worships idol-like, forge' ting that
she is human and has faults The
'favorite," through tne same influ
ences and though mistaken notions
lbout th character of humanity,
learns to look upon her suitor as a
hero, an emblem of royal greatness
and goodness. They sometimes
marry children do! The story is
told and told sadly.
Put there is jangling and discord
everywhere. When an old man and
an old woman, after years of haul
toil and trouble and sorrow and
blessings, let their tempers create
dislike and let discord reign riot
nothing is sadder, lest it be the tes
timony of hose whom life and ex
istence had their origin in the lives
of those who nurse the discord and
battle lor supremacy. j

Kabo is for women who
break their corsets. Kabo
can't be broken. We guar
antee it not to break for a
year ; and the maker stands
behind us.
And Kabo doesn't kink.
To kink is almost as bad as
to break. We guarantee it
not to kink for a year ; and
the maker stands behind us.
If a single "bone " (we call
it " bone," it isn't bone) of
Kabo breaks or kinks in a
year, bring your corset back
to us and get your money.
And, if the corset don't suit
you after wearing a week or
two or three, come back for
