'THE TYPICAL AMERICAN-"
(From a Speech by Chaunccy M. Depew.)
If Ism to name lhe tvpical American, the frfctn
who loves and believes in his country beyond rery
ii,m fk-ihH mm who. determine once in what
direction his duty leads, cannot be swerved from
the path the man who is doggedly persistent in
what he be'ieves to be rtKht the man who thinks
not of self, but ot his countrv and its needs. 1 would
n-.mr firm er Cleveland. Vhat he has accomplish
d is the very- highest tribute to the possibiluiea of
American citizenships.
THE WAT TO BE KXOW.
The State of North Carolina
stands alone in the United States
the whole world, for the
catches a n'.t reached by the de
of the bitter bitteJorests. With
The mosquito is iloridaHO
-Hid will stifle Tni'-a',v kinds of
can ard and soft wooded
avv"- norida is far behind in
the variety of valuable timber.
An important part of the North
Carolina exhibit at Chicago will
consist of a pamphlet for free dis
tribution, describing the trees and
forest resources of the State. The
Agent in charge of the collection
Mr. Gillord Tinchot, Biltmore, Bun
combe County, North Carolina, is
anxious to gather together the lar
gest possible number of measure
ments of the finest tree3 standing
either in the forest or in the open
in order to incorporate them in the
pamphlet. It should be a matter of
pride with our citizens to see tha
the trees of .this Section are fully
represented, for an attempt will be
made to connect the measurements
of all remarkable trees, with the
names of the localities in which
tney grew. The only way to ac
complish "this end is to send tl
dimensions of remarkably fine trees
of any species growing in the State,
to the Agent above mentioned. In
doing so send actual measurements
in preference to guesses, and give
the following dimensions whenever
possible. The circumference or di
ameter at four feet above the ground
the height of the trunk to the first
branches, the height of the whole
tree, and its spread, if that is
noteworthy feature. Be careful to
locate each tree exactly, so that the
Agent may have no difficulty in
finding it later if it should be
thought well to photograph it.
Trees standing in the forest are
preferred to those which have grown
in the open; but measurements of
any fine trees will be welcome and
useful, especially so when the age
of the tree is accurately known.
Not only measurements, but all
accurate lniormation concerning
the trees of the State will be of
great value to Mr. Pinchot, and it
is earnestly requested that those
who have special information at
hand, or who are willing to collect
it, will communicate at once with
him, since every effort is to be made
to render the State Forest Exhibit
worthy of the splendid forest flora
which it is to represent.
The .Size of the Earth.
To form some idea of the large
ness of the earth, one may look upon
the landscape from the top of an or
dinary church steeple, and then bear
in mind that one must view 000,000
fimilar landscapes to get an approxi
mately correct idea of the size of the
earth. I'lace 500 earths like ours
eide by side, yet Saturn's outermost
ring could easily inclose them.
Three hundred thousand earth
globes could be stored inside of the
the sun if hollow.
The National Campaign of 102.
Air "Bonnie Blue Flag,"
The great campaign of ninetytwo,
At Chicago opened last June,
By patriots good and true
Whose loyalty none impugn.
With their country's good alone,
Inspiring each manly breast,
Discoid was banished from their
midst,
All working for the best.
Chorus:
Hurra! Boys Hurra!
Stand firmly to your post,
With Cleveland and Stevenson
We'll rout the Radical hos,t.
With the noble linn resolve,
Their labor have well done,
They placed upon the Banner high
Cleveland and Stevenson
The Gallant Ship ia now afloat,
Proudly riding the sea,
With a bold and fearless crew
Sailing to victory.
Chorus.
With Grover for Commander,
And Adlai as Chief Mate,
We'll charge the enemy's citidel
And capture the "Ship of State.'
And with our trust in Him on high,
Who guides the Mighty Storm,
We'll.bid defiance to "Force Bills,"
And Hurra! for Tariff Reform.
Ononis.
Then arouse! brother Democrats,
Heed your country's cry,
Be up, your armor buckle on,
Meet the enemy drawing nigh,
Mready the Foe is on the tramp,
Arrayed in martial style,
Be quick! and guard each avenue
Through which he must defile.
Chorus.
A.nd when November eighth is past,
Sweet peace will reign at Home.
Cleveland and Stevenson on the
Flag
Will float o'er the Capitol Dome.
And beneath its starry folds,
United rve will stand,
With uncovered heads we'll about
For God, and our Native Land.
Hurra! Boys Hurra!
Stand firmly to your post,
With Cleveland and Stevenson
We'll rout the Radical host.
C II OWN.
fched Tears Over the Defeat of lite
Fort e Bill,
Nttional Democrat.
Some of the small-fry Re
publican politicians are en
deavoring to ally any appre
hensions of the passage of the
Harrison-Davenport force bill
should the party get the pow
er. Little Ben, John Sher
man, Boss Hoar, Boss Reed,
nor any one of the great lights
of the party have given any
such assurance. The conven
tion which renominated the
recent incumbent made the
force bill a most prominent
plank in the platform, and
every Republican State con
vention since has incorporated
it and urged its passaire. To
delude and deceive the South,
Little Ben may even say in his
forthcoming letter of accep
tance that "his heart has un
dergone a change," and, since
he has hopes of earring some
of the Southern States, that
he is no longer in favor oi
the passage of this measure.
But one of Little Ben's chief
characteristics is a stubbon
adherance to what he thinks
he believes; and with the
rememberance of the means of
resorted to and the earnestness
with which he bent the full
powers of his administration
for its passage, and the morti-i
fication and chagrin he mani
fested at its defeat even to
the "sheding of tears," if we
are to believe the edidence of
a distinguished Republican
Congressman who chanced to
be at the White House short"
ly after the death blow to the
bill had been struck; and even
should he yield to the entreat
ies of Mr. Depew and others,
"for the sake of foolin' the
south," who that knows Little
Ben's anxietyabout re-election
would have any more faith or
confidence in his promise than
if made by one of his prede
cessors named Hayes? Toe the
wark, little man ! You have
made the issue, and the people
mill hold you up to it.

Other pens niuy KCurd the death
of our dear friend, Carlie Fetzer.
But so great was the friendship that
existed between her and the writer,
that we can no-, if we would, for
bear to lay upon her new made
grave a few flowers plucked from
the memory of her sweet, beautiful
lite.
The news of her death came like
a shock to h.r old Sunday school
teacher and dear friend, while away
from home, and we feel keenly the
loss not being able to j in her many
friends in laying her remains away
to slumber in that dreamUss bed,
from all her toil.
Carlie was uni really loved, and
probably for the reason, that fhe
loved strongly and faithfully herd: if
Few girls possess a more tender
and ready sympathy fr other?,
than did she. She deserved richs
ly to be loved, for she laid the basis
of true friendship by her ovn true
and sympathetic life. As a Sunday
school scholar, she was dutiful, and
loved her teacher; as a teacher, sue
was always in her place and was de
voted to her work, and her little
class.
She was a member of the Mission
ary society, and the cause of Mis
sions found in her a steady friend.
She was also an active member of
the King's Daughters. Her elms-,
tian life was unassuming. But
though gentle as the summer breeze,
her christian zeal was steady and
true it was spent in the name of
her Master and for her Masters'
glory.
It is but a leaf in the mysterious
wreath of infinite love, tlut she
should be taken away so early in life.
She was just growing into useful
ness. Thai the bud should be
plucked ere the rich tints of her
many christian graces should fully
develop and bless the church and
the world, we can not understand.
It may be that we thould not ask
ii understand, but simply trust.
To the bereaved family, the writer
extends her sincerest sympathy, and
asks them to find solace, as does the
writer, in the fact that her sweet
trustful life has eLded on earth only
to be more happy and b-auliful in
the world above, Siie was prepared,
to answer the Saviour's call express
ed in the following beautiful liiiea :
"Come when life's "fair morn' 's
brightest,
Gentle one, come to me :
Come while thy young heart is
lightest,
Come ere thou the Spirit
blightest
Gentle one, come to me."
