Gold- smith fays cf tbe yillage ecboolmabler ! and his pupils: ,1 "And ft 111 they gircd and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all it knew." I remember bow I used to wonder bow our Professor ' Coarles McCoyj learned all that he knew about tnathe-j maiica and astrotomy. Borne years ago 1 heard Professor Proctor, who wse( then the greateet living astronomer lecture for three nights at Lake Weir chatauqua in Florida, and be lif ted me up to tbe seventh neaveo, as it were, aod I bad to strain my mind to bo ir with him amonget the stars, but tbe; magnified the creation and the universe and the Creator in such a way that I have not forgotten it and my reverence and awe and love for the Supreme Being has been greatly increased. j I was ruminating about this because I have received a letter from a learned friend who thinks I should have told a little more about leap year and how the Julian calendar got behind time ten days in 1,582 years and Pope Gregory's astronomer, Clavius, made a new one called the Gregorian calendar. And how it says that all years whone date number is divisible by four, without a remainder are leap 'years unless tbej are century years. TheSe are not ceuf tury years unless they are divisible by 400 without a remainder, y Therefore! the-year 2000 will be a leap year. Bat even this allowance will not exa.tly even up the march of time and we will lose another day in 3,524 years. Sir John Herschel corrected this by making every 4,000th year a, leap year and thi would keep old Father. Time all right for 28,000 years huf sed we will not figure beyond that. i Another respected friend writes an interesting letter about Hugh Lawsori White, once a candidate for the presi dential nomination, and says although' he was reared and lived and died in Tennessee he was born in Iredell county, North Carolina. His mother was a Laweon, daughter of Hugh liiwson, and from that Ltwson ancestry more distinguished people have sprung than from any other we. read of. Among their descendants are the Whites,- of Tennessee; Mrs. Stonewall Jacksoul Mrs. General W. T. Sherman, Airs. General A P. Hill, Mra. Adlai Rwing Stevenson, the Ewings of Ohio and Ten nessee; General Ewell, General Hender son, of Virginia; the Lawsons, of Geor gia, and Governor Jared Irwin, of Geor gia. All of these were lineal descen dants. Just think of it! What a divergence of fate and fame and fortune that made of one blood Mrs. Stonewall Jackson and Mrs. A. P. Hill. Mri General Sherman was "a Earing and Mrs. Stonewall Jackson was a Morrison. The writer Says he has a copy of Hugh Lawson's will that was executed in 1766, and that bis grave is in an old churchyard between Salisbury and Charlotte, and the headstone still shows the initials. "HL." Verily, verily ,v there is something in the blood that transmits character to several geii' eratiocs. ' But the trouble is that this anc-Stral blood becomes crossed and recios-ed so often that it is apt to loee its virtue and becomes contaminated with the blood of gome vicious ancestors. This could only be prevented by what is called "in and in breeding," as marrying cousiris of Becond cousins, but the doctors say that produces physical degeneracy the offspring and so what 'can a man do but try to elevate himself and not bank on his ancestors. Colonel Camp bell Wallace was a noble man and made his own fame and fortune and he told me that when he was a young man he took a notion that maybe he was a des cendant of Sir William Wallace, the great Scottish chief, and as his father died when Campbell was a boy and told him nothingnbout.it, be rode a huudred miles oyer, the mountains of Tennessee to see a great uncle who was old enough to know .about his ancestors, and the old uncle said: "Now, Cam', you bad better let ttiat pedigree business alone, for your great-grandfather was a power ful sorry man, and one day. he etole some, laters offeh .aft itboat and they cotched hini and tbok him down to the canebrake and whipped him they did shore." "Since then," said Colonel Wailice, "I 'lave taken Pope's couplet for my pedigree." . ;! - - . ' ' "Honor an3 shame from no condition rise. Act weU your part. There aU the honor ties j' But I do like good stock whether in man or beast or fowl or fruit or flowers. I liked the Adams family and the Ran: dolphs and Breckinridges and Holts and many others because, they held up bo long." My wife came from that Poca-hontas-Kandolph-Holt stock I that had coal black hair and dark hazel eyes; and wore No. 2 shoes and stepped like a deer, and it was a good cross she m."de breeding back upon the Anglo Irish that ray ancestors came from. There is not quite so much "injun" in our children as there was in her, but still there is enough to make them love tbtir friends and keep one eye on their enemies if they have any. y I WC8 ruminating how little ws know of what is going on in many parts ' of this great country. Here is a letter from an Alabama friend wVo has been living in Texas for twenty Jears and has charge of a cattle ranch in the pan handle, the staked plains region, and he says he has 8,000 head of cattle to look after and their grazing ground covers 170,000 acres. Aoout half of it is infested by prairie dogs andtthey have become dfS'ructive and omniveroua and are multiply ing like the rabbits of Australia," and bo this fall the bwners declared war ypon them. They mixed 500 bush Is of wheat with 100 pounds of strychnine and scattered fit around their little f unnel-shapped ground boles and it effectually destroyed them. JuSt ibink of it etrvchnine costs $1.75 an our.ee, or about $25 a pound, and that made $2 500 besides the cost of the wheat. These cattle kings do things on a big scale. But it does look cruel and selfish to exterminate such pretty inno cent little creatures. I wiBh the chil dren could see them. They: are about as large as fox squirrels and look like them excepting the lack of a long tail. They burrow in the grouud and make tunnels that communicate with their different homes. Thy throw up liUle circular lims or banks around their holes (ike tbe ants do and you can see. them from tbe trains jpt rched upon the to; of tbe rims like hole sentinels and suddenly they pitch down in the funnel like boys jumping off a springboard into a mill pond.. Toere were some clever, good-natured Miehiginders and Michi geese at my house nOt long ago, and we were asking conundrums and no one was to ask a question that he or she couldn't answer wheq it was given up by the rest of the prty, and so I asked a lady bow a ground) squirrel dug his h le in the ground without leaving any dirt around the top. I When they all gave it up, I said : "Why, he begins at the bottom." But pow does he get there?'' she asked. '(That is your ques tion," said I, "and you must answer it. " My next conunidrum was why is it that when you bole up a guinea pig by the tail his eyes w 11 drop out? The ladies all wondered and asked if it was so. "Certainly t" 8aii I; "it is a fact, but the trouble is that a guinea pig hasn't got any; tail." Of course I put in these little jokes jfor the children. They are writing to ne now; every mail brings letters wanting compositions or some help to write thfern, for school will soon be out. I wish I had time to help tneoi, but I haven't, jand I don't know what they will do. My parents used to help me and I got alcjng pretty we.ll and I have helped our children. It is an awful 'task, but the girl or ' boy should try it. Wrice a few lines and then go to mother. My wife ptill has the first composition that our oldest daughter wrote. It was on "Snakes, and; the first sentence was; 'jA snake is a very long insfct" But don't give up and cry about it. Try aiid try again and you will feel so happy when it is done. Bill Arp. Populist Committeeman Send In His Reslgaatioa. : 1 George E Bogs, of Haywood, one of the prominent men in tbe councils of the Populist party of North Carolina, writes to Dr. Cy. Tho npson: ! i "I herewith tender my resignation of memberbhip of the. State Executive Committee. I do o with regret I helped to organize the party in this State, and took a somewhat active part in the memorable cimpaign of 1892, and have since given more of my t;me, meacs and strength to advance its in terests .than I could afford, and eutir. 1 .without any pecuniary reward directly or indirectly. When fusion was inaugurated in this State, in 1894, 1 opposed it to the ut most and refuse! to take any part in it. I urged that whatever apparent gain might be secured by it such a sacrifice vide and diminish of principle woula our forces and, deservedly forfeiting the respect and confidence of our fellow--citizens, cut off. recruits and, therefore, sooner or lattr, destroy the party. I was for a long ti me encouraged to continue in my allegiance to the party organization by promise of reform and by the hope that those in control of the party would see the unwisdom of any farther .continuance in such conduct, and' returning to tlie defense of. Our principles refuse any afhhation with any who opposed them In the meantime the majority of the party has abandoned the organization and left it in tbe main, if not entirely, to those who seem bent on continuing in their course. Despairing of any re form inside the present organization; of the party, I have determined to aban don it and become One of this outside majority. I am as earnestly devoted , to the principles of the People's prty as I ever was. There are thousands in the state who are of like mind in fact, Populism is more widely accepted to day than at any time in tbe past, but Without organization nothing can be adoption and en- foremen t of these prjincin'es. If I was otherwise qualified to take an active part in O'giuiziog tUs latent Sentiment my poor health wou d prevent me from auder.taking it.. I cpn only watch the current of events. A Complete Answer the Talk of Re- publicans About the Fifth Section. Q The Republican politicians say thei ennrt will hold the 5th section i or the grandfather clause, so-called, of the amencmentunconstilutionand tl e b section, or the educational qualification. Constitutional. .Is ihere any truth in fbis Rlatempnt? A. Absolutely nqne whatever. This is altogether the mdst absurd position the Republican politicians have taken against the amendment. Every tyio in the "law knows that when several sections or. provisions of a law constitute nsrts of one Ereneral scneme ox leri3la lion, so that those voting for it would not likely have voted - for one part or section without the other parts or sec-' tiouS. the whole mukt stand or fall to gether. Moreover the people are going to vote for one amendment, nor lor two or three separate amendments They are going to vjote for the whole amendment, and not for detached parts or sections of the amendment. 1 be courts cannot say ta the people: "We will make you take half of what you have yoted for, but we will not let y u have the other half, though you voted for it as a whole, thbugh you might not have voted for one half without the other half, indeed would have voted down the half We force upon you, with--! out the half we deny you." xnat wouiq be the court amenaing tne consumuon and not the -people, and no court .has the authority to amejnd the Constitution.: So it is too clear for argument that these to sections of the amendment must stand or fall together.

J , fays: "Ex-President G rover Cleveland has clearly defined bU position io regard to the Nicaraguan canal question. , In ate of tbe criticisms of his enemies Mr. Cleveland baa upheld and will con tinue to uphold tbe high ideals which characterized the tentimeuts contained in his message to Congress on this sub ject. He take the standpoint of bih minded, unselfish patriotism. Mr. Cleveland believes that the Uoit.d States in all her dealings with other nations is to adhere first and foremost to an un selfish policy, too unto others as. 300 would have others do unto you.' should be the rule for nations, Mr, Cleveland says, as well as for individuals, i j f 'The Philippines, he thinks, should be self-governing because they were it dependent in tlie first place. Puerto Rico should be a self-governing nation when her ability for independence is shown. In the meantime the United States is to be. in the position of a kind father. Riving help and advice where advice and help are necessary. I! '.'Mr. Cleveland Btatea as proof of the fact that unselfish neae is the best policy for nations the tendencies of modern ethical schools. Evolutionary ethic and the latest sociological themes built on the basis of freehabdedness and kind ness haye proved themselves to be the best solution up to date for the lifting up of the down-trodden and oppressed. Mr. Cleveland's idea is, in brief, the doctrine of the golden rule. The Philip pines and West Indies alike are to be treated as brothers.! "Tbe ex-President is well known as a conservative in politics. Conservatism he takes to be temperance through the golden mean in seeking a state of per fect peace and harmony ' as the ideal toward which all nations are arriving. Why not, says Mr. Cleveland, crown the work as soou as poasi ,!e by applying iu principles to modern political and social movements, and give the principle of ideal justice a chance to show its effica cy? This is Mr. Cleveland s policy in reeard to the Philippines and Puerto Rico, the policy of justice to the in habitants of the islands, an ideal justice which shall place the U-iittd States in a ijinlq'ie jositi n among the nations, j , ?"Iu rcgird to tbe llay-"aunccf.te tjreaty Mr. Cleveland suJ iu, an inter view this evening : ! " I n iv always lieeu ao eathu9i4B:ic supporter of tho furthermeut of the ca nal's construction. My position has hot changed Biuce my reference to it in hiy first message to Congress, which hs been recently quoted to a large extent. I appreciate more than I can express the. importance of the Nicaraguan canal project, j. am nearuiyjux.. lavor ox its consummation. f' 'Any rigbt-mindel man should have no hesitation whatever in coming put strongly on the side of -Mr. Hay. It seems to. me that the only debatable questions are the details relating to the consummation of the canal, its subse qent management aud the general poli cy of the nation. i"'To me it is an agreeable and at tractive sentiment that the United States should occupy a unique position among the nations of the earth as being the altruistic and unselfish brother. It is especially fitting, in view of the ideals upod whiph our Uovernment was founded, that the whole position of the Administration should be that the canal is id the nature of a 'gift to tbe world and a contribution to advancing civili zation.' "Here Mr. Cleveland defined ad vancing civilization as applying the philosophy of unselfishness and. even handed justice to all, even to tbe lowest. I "Our nation,' he continued, 'is hot to be either a land-grabber or a money grabber. Our ideal must be to .bring about a higher development of the hu man race. Tbe opening of the canal to all nations could not-htlp but d;ffu-e a spirit of unselfishness abroad over tbe world, along with commercial expansion resulting. A beau'iful sentiment of al truism would be diffused from this greV.t country as a sun in the celestial sj s'-em. 1 wish to emphasize thi point. I understand the Hay-Pauaccf te treaty to be modeled in accordance wish tbe general idea of absolute and un adulterated neutralization, which ii be yond all q lestion essential to the con summation of this great pn j-'ct. The United S ates must inaist on a policy of disarmament. There must be no foli- fications; everything must be along the lines of universal peace- 1 "'Our nation must better i's political life. Uolef s that commercialism which is rampant in American politic! at this hour is soon checked and crushed unier foot" the future will wrap in -the coils of darkness around our cherished life, and we will settle down to tbe same dwarfed Standards common am6ng the imperial nations of the past before absolute : dis integration occurred. i I " 'What is urging on the United States at this moment to the-pogspsnion Of new lands but the grasping spirit of economic plunder, the curse of every nation which has gone down to tbe yawning gaps of oblivion ? Therefore I am in favor of the ratification of th Hay-Pduncefote treaty; the construction of tbe canal and its maintenance as a free highway to all the nations. I ' 'The views I held in 1888 and gave forth in my message to Congress are m principle what I believe at this time. The same larger political and expansive, abundant national life sweeps through the principles, which I believe ought to be proclaimed today in even stronger tones. America is the flower garden of the world to sweeten with the wafts car ried -from our shores the dreariest, darkest spots of the earth. We have enough aroma in the way of benefits to go around the globe, like the loaves ai d fishes of an ancient but true parable of the world's greatest tachtr. I am con vinced that the nation which does the lame thing grows larger when this giv jng is done with intelligent direction. j l "I detest the'flamboyant methods of the war party of a nation, but I have as great a disgust for the namby-pamby dwarfs who are afraid to face tre lion of war when that war is just. A ca tion like Venezuela, for instance, ought to have the support of a stronger coun try when tbe righteous raose of tbe weaker is imperiled and their liberty is endangered by the uajutt assaults of a greater and tyrannical power. ."Mr. Cleveland, conclude tbe luf- ald's correspondent, "is ready for hU two speeches on public themes to be delivered on the evenings of April 9 and iu. . tie will DrobatMV toaca. on the Puerto Rican and Philippine qoettiina. irikitrr rnr t"r.

John P. EUher, presiding vlJr tf the Cleveland district, spoke upon the general topic of the .decline of the Church. "A grave ndiUon,' he said, "confronts the Methodist Church. Ther has Iwa a decline of2l,CKi) in membership during the pat year. We congrmtuUte ourwlvr that in the Eastern Ohio Conference there has been a gain of 2 per cent, and in the Cleveland district a gain of 4 jer cent. .1 "The reason for this condition of affairs is a spiritual 'famine ia the churches. The gulf between cspiul and labor threatens us' on both sides. On one side 'not many mighty, not many noble are called.' On the other strange forces are alienating the poor. Tbe labor unions ! organised moat compactly are much influenced by men hostile to the church. Their gatherings are generally on the Sab bath, thus keeping the men out of our reach. The submerged tenth hat been allowed to pass out to other agencies. "We seem in some places above our business, j One border of this Church has been frayed by thin specu lations and vagaries" of Christian sci ence. The powerful camp meetings of our forefathers have been, super seded in many localities. The litera ture found in our homes is too often too light to nourish strong religious character. Books that furnish the reading for our youth are not selected with tho same care with which we choose their friends. Amusements are sought after as if- they were a necessity-. Like little children, people of all ages think they must be amused. "The moral and spiritual forces of the church necessary for the building of great and Christlike characters seem to be side-tracked. In many places the spirit of the world is domi nant instead of the spirit which is of uod. ith sonic of our people the services of God's house seem to be at tended when it is convenient. This has been brought about by self-indulgence. The spirit of self-indulgence which characterizes France has struck this country, and there is no use of denying this fact.

A PrepoSllUa ta Reaalate (I a rr !(. Charlotte Observer. The Governor of Coloralo is credit ed with a puTj.K Uj include in hU next message to the Legislature a re commendation that there he estab lished in each conntv a board with power to examine an jntnnm conie plating matrimony, with authority to refuse license to such ptrsons as it may find physically or mentally unlit to get married.; We all talk more or less about paternalism, but this is government taking charge of the citi zen right... All States, perlia,- have laws forbidding the marriage of insane persons underage, and this, of course, is altogether proper, but further than this the State has' nothing to do with the purposes of those who may be matrimonially inclined. That is strictly the business of the contract' ing parties, their parents or guardian. If the right of government to regulate marriages to the extent suggested i conceded, there would be no limit to which it might not invade the rights of the individual. We believe that in years long gone it was a rule among the Moravians of this State that when a young "man concluded that he want ed to get married he laid his case be fore the church council and it selected a wife for him. That was a large waiver of personal rights; at the same time the applicant made it. volunta rily, or if he were not willing to make it he had tlie option of quitting the communion. Indeed, it is further told that a young Moravian named Waugh did not like the girl selected as a wife for him, and inconsequence seceded from the church, and, aftr the fashion of Romulus and Remus, founded a city of his own the pres ent Waughtown : The Governor of Colorado would, however, arbitrarily forbid marriages in certAin cases, though both parties were willing, and capable of making the contract, which is going a step further than was ever known before in history, civil or ec clesiastical.

The WilkesboTO Chronicle says edi torially: I M "A Republican who hAS been prom inent in Wilkes politics and has held office in the county, told us last week that he was not opposed to the amend ment snd would support it. He said that some of the revenues had tried to get him to join an anti-amendment club, but be told them that he would not do so, that there was, enough of the hired revenues to run their clubs without nun. That is the way to talk it. 1 Let the revenues run. their negro supremacy clubs and the white men will run theirs. They are coming.
