Raleigh Press: Governor Russefl pardons Peter Haynie, convicted at the February term, -1896, of Madison superior court, of assault with deadly weapon. Haynie was sentenced to two years on the county roads of Madison county. In granting the par don the governor assigns the following reasons: "In this case, the pardon is recommended by the trial judge, Ew art; by the solicitor who prosecuted: by Senator Pritehard; by Senator Rollins; by Hon. V. S. Lusk. and by Mr. Rob erts, the member from Madison. It ap pears that the man has already suffer ed enough." - ' r Hickory Press: If a certain promi nent judge in: this state delivers any more lectures to juries on the subject of the demi-mondes or filles per-dues who people our. principal cities we pro prose to call him down by gently sug gesting that he should make-his actions square with his words. The associa tions of the judge in question are not such as to permit him to pose as a guardian of the public morality and for that reason we believe that should these lines catch h'is eye he will hesi tate a long time before he attempts to play that role again. We are in po se'ssion of the facts in the case and we shall speak in this matter without fear or favor in case we are provoked by any such further 'display of arrant hy pocrisy. Rajeigh Tribune: Pending" this ex citement over the railroad lease bill. our esteemed friend and co-operative compatriot, Walter R. Henry, stands like Mohamet's coffin, suspended in mid air They do say that the "Big Four" Daniels. Russell, Avery ana Moye hetil an experience meeting after the vote on the substitute lease bill. There was a comparison of "inflooence,notes.". Worthy of honor are the four popu list senators who had the courage to oppose tne Avery rauroau uui, luuubu twenty other, populists supported it. These four Barker, Earnhardt. Odum. Wakefield stood by the committee.ana voted with it on every roll call.. With out their assistance, one of the most vicious pieces of legislation ever at tempted in North Carolina could not have been defeated. a gennemd.11 from Vermont died on the Atlanta spe cial Friday night. His body was put off at Ebeft. He was accompanied by his wife, and they i were bound for Portsmouth, Va. No physician was on the train at the time or his aeatn. tie was suffering from a malignant attack of asthma. The Tribune regrets to renoft the very serious illness of Mas ter Fred Nissen, the bright young page to Lieutenant Governor Reynolds. The young man is suffering-from a very se vere attack of appendicitis, and has been sent to the home of his parents in Salem. Raleigh News and Observer: It is said upon good authority that the re publicans and populists have offered the superintendency of. the insane asy lum to Dr. W. R. , Wood, who held the position before Dr. Kirby's election. Dr. Wood succeeded Dr. Grissom and resigned on account of his wife's health. He was here last Tuesday and Wednes day and, it is understood, signified his willingness to accept the position again, if elected. This ought to be entitled "A bill to Raise Hell -in Charlotte," said Captain Walters, referring to the in famous Charlotte police bill. The cap tain is correct. "This is a-very dan gerous way to legislate." said Sen ator Hileman yesterday -arternoon when about half of the members had congregated around the speaker's desk and practically taken charge of the cal endar and the clerk's desk, but the bills went whizzing through all the same. Mr. McPeeters protested ano mnuiy SOAR LIKE A SERAPH. "WHICH IS SWIFT, ASPIRING, RA- DIEKI AND BUOYANT. Rev. Dr. Talmage Preacltes Upon an Ex alted Theme, bat He Makes It Practical and Useful The Knatle of Pinions Di vine Telocity., j In his discourse Dr. Tannage takes a most exalted theme and makes It practi cal and useful to the last degree. The subject is "Wings of Seraphim,", and the text is Isaiah vi, 2, "With twain, he cov ered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did; fly." In a hospital of leprosy good King Uz zlah had died, and the whole", land was shadowed with solemnity, and theologi cal and phophetlc Isaiah was i thinking about religious things, as one is apt to do in time of great national bereavement, and. forgetting, the presence of 'his wife and two sons, who made up his family, he has a dream, not like the dreams of ordinary character, which generally come from indigestion, but a vision most in structive and under the touch of the hand of the 'Almighty. s The place, the ancient temple; building grand,' awful, majestic. Within that tem ple a throne higher and grander than that occupied by and czar or sultan or emperor. On that throne the eternal Christ. In lines, surrounding that throne, the : brightest celestials, not the cheru bim, but higher than they, and most ex quisite and radiant of the heavenly in habitantsthe seraphim. They are call ed burners because they look like fire. Lips of fire, eyes of fire, feet of -fire. In addition, to the features and the limbs, which suggest a human being, there are pinions, which suggest the lithest, the swiftest, the most buoyant and the most aspiring of all unintelligent creation, a bird. Each seraph had six wings, each two of the wings for a different purpose. Isaiah's dream quivers and flashes with these pinions. Now folded, now spread, now beaten in locomotion. "With twain he covered his feet, with twain he Cov ered his face, and with twain he did fly." UNIMAGINED CELERITY. The probability is that these wings were not ail used at once. The seraph standing there near the throne, overwhelmed at the insignificance of the paths his feet had trodden as compared with the paths trodden by the feet of God, and with the lameness of his locomotion, amounting al most to decrepitude as compared with the divine velocity, with feathery veil of an gelic modesty hides the feet. "With twain he did cover the feet." 1 ' Standing there, overpowered ' by " the overmatching splendors of God's glory and unable fonger with the eyes to look upon them and wishing those eyes shad ed from the insufferable glory, r the pin ions gather over the countenance. "With twain he did cover the face." Then, as God tells this seraph to go to the farthest outpost .of immensity on message of light and love and joy and get back before the first anthem, it does not take the seraph a great while to spread himself upon the air with unimagined celerity, one stroke of the wing equal to 10,000 leagues of air. "With twain he djd fly." ' The most practical i and useful lesson for you and me when we see the seraph spreading his wings over the feet is the lesson of humanity at imperfection. The brightest angels of God are so far be neath God that he charges them with folly. The seraph so far beneath God, and we so far beneath the seraph in service, we ought to be plunged in humility, utter and complete. Our. feet, how laggard they have been in the divine service! Our feet, how many missteps they have taken! Our teet, in how many paths of worldnness and folly they have walked! Neither God nor seraph intended to put any dishonor upon that which is one of the masterpieces of Almighty i God the human foot.

".''"' (Jkmrlotte Observer: Mr.j James Northey. who has been cutting cotton for Sanders & Orr for years, went to Richmond last night to have an ope ration performed on his throat. He is in a very critical - condition, and the operation is the only hope of saving his ife. The news that the Charlotte po lice bill had been favorably reported to the house by the committee--on cities, created great indignation among the citizens of Charlotte.' The lengths to which Walter R. Henry,-Esq.. went in his speech were rather surprising to the friend?? he had made during his resi dence in the . city. Yesterday morn ing a colored man by the name of pib son was employed with several other hands in cleaning out the store-room rented bv Mr.. Hiss. .'on College street, for his oil business. The men were moving a counter, when it fell, catch ing Gibson's hand underneath it, and mashing nearly off. Messrs. J: P. & J. C. Long's store, on East Trade street, was very nearly ruined yesterday by fire and water, and especially the lat ter. The fire was quickly extinguished but the' building and stock were ruin ed bv water. Mr. Long estimates the damage to stock, $2,0'0. He cannot tell what tne damage 10-me nuuac m uc. The loss is covered by insurance. Representative J. B. Freeman, repuD- lican. Representative x. j. morion, populist. The Observer, on penair 01 the citizens of Charlotte, aorrs us,, cap to you, gentlemen, and assures you of the sincere and heartieit gratiLuae ui In the human hand, was a result of the $40,000 bequeathed In the last will and testament of the Earl of Brldgewater for 'the encouragement of Christian litera ture. The world could afford to forgive his eccentricities, though he had two dogs seated at his table and though he put six dogs alone in an equipage drawn by four horses and attended by two foot men. With his large bequest inducing Sir Charles Bell to write so valuable a book on the wisdom of God in the structure of the human hand, the world could afford to forgive his oddities. And the world could now afford to have another 1 Earl of Brldgewater, however idiosyncratic, if he would induce some other Sir Charles Bell to write a book on the wisdom and good ness of God in the construction of the human foot. The articulation of its bones, the lubrication of its joints, the graceful ness of Its lines, the ingenuity of its cartilaeres. the delicacy of its veins, the rapidity of Its muscular contraction, the sensitiveness of its nerves. APOSTROPHE TO THE FOOT. I sound the praises of the human foot. With that we halt or climb or march. It is the foundation of the physical fabric. It is the base of a God poised column. With it the warrior braces himself for battle. With it the orator plants himself for eulogium. With it the toiler reaches his work. With it the outraged stamps his indignation. Its loss an irreparable disaster. Its health an invaluable equip ment. If you want to know its value, ask the man whose foot paralysis hath shriv eled, or machinery hath crushed, or sur geon's knife hath amputated. The BibleH honors it. Especial care, "Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone," "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved," "Thy feet shall not stumble." Especial charge. Keep thy foot when thou goest to the and 1 will challenge him, and i will defy himt and I will ask him what he wants to do with me." So the finite confront the Infinite, so a tack hammer tries to break a thunderbolt, so the breath of human nostrils defies the everlasting Godi while the hierarchs of heaven bow the head and bend the knee as the King's chariot goes by, and the archangel turns away because he cannot endure the splendor, and the chorus of all he em pires of heaven comes in. with full diapa son, "Holy, holy, holy!" V . ' ' REVERENCE. 1 Reverence for sham, reverence for the old merely because it is old, reverence for stupidity,' however learned, reverence for incapacity, however finely Inaugurated. I have none. But we want more reverence for God, more reverence ,f or the sacra ments, more reverence for the Bible, more reverence for the pure, more reverence for the good. Reverence a characteristic of all great natures. You hear it in the roll of the master oratories. You see it in the Raphaels and Titians and Ghirlan daios. You study it in the arohiteclur-j of the Aholiabs and Christopher Wrens. Do not be .flippant about God."Do not jok about death. Do--not'-:. make-fun of the? Bible. Do not deride the Eternal. The brightest and mightiest - seraph- cannot look unabashed upon him. Involuntarily the wings come "up. "With twain he cov ered his face." Who is this God before whom the arro gant and - intractable refuse reverence? There was an engineer of the name of Strascrates. who was in the. employ of Alexander the Great, and he offered to hew a mountain in the shape of his mas ter, the emperor, the enormous figure to hold in the left hand a city of 10,000 in habitants, while with the right hand it was to hold a basin large enough to col lect all the mountain torrents. Alexander applauded him for his Ingenuity, but for bade the enterprise because of its cost liness. Yet I have to tell you ' that our King holds in one hand all the cities of the earth and all the oceans, while he has the stars of heaven for his tiara. - Earthly power goes from hand to hand, from Henry I to Henry II and Henry III, from Charles I to Charles II, from Louis I to Louis II and Louis III, but from ev erlasting to everlasting is God. God the first, God the last, God the only. He has one telescope, with which he sees every thing his omniscience. , He has one bridge with which he crosses everything his omnipresence. He has one hammer, with which he builds everything his om nipotence. Put two tablespoonfuls of wa ter in the palm of your hand, and it will overflow, but Isaiah indicates that God puts the Atlantic and the Pacific and the Arctic and the Antarctic and the Medi terranean and the Black sea and all the waters of the earth in the hollow of his hand. The fingers the beach on one side, the wrist the beach on the other. "He holdeth the water in the hollow of his hand." A MEASURE OF THE EARTH. As you take a pinch of salt or powder between your thumb and two fingers, so Isaiah indicates God- tyikes up the earth. He, measures the dust of the earth, the original there Indicating that God takes all the dust of all the continents between the thumb and two fingers. You wrap around your hand a blue ribbon five times, ten times. You say it is five hand breadths, or it is ten handbreadths. So Indicates the prophet God winds the blue ribbon of the sky around his hand. "He meteth out the heavens with a span." You know that -balances are made of a beam suspended in the middle with two basins at the extremity of equal heft. In that way what vast heft has been weigh ed. But what are all the balances of earthly manipulation compared with the balances that Isaiah saw suspended when he saw God putting into the scales the Alps and the Apennines and Mount Washington and the Sierra Nevadas. You see the earth had to be ballasted. It would not do to have too much weight in Europe, or too much weight In Asia, or too much weight In Africa or in America, so when God made the rnourrtains he weighed them. The Bible distinctly says so. God knows the weight of the great ranges that cross tne continents, the tons. the pounds avoirdupois, the ounces, the grains, the milligrams just how much they weighed then, and just how much they weigh now. "He weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. Oh. what a God to run against! Oh, what a God to disobey! Oh, what a God to dis honor! Oh, what a God to defy!- The brightest, the mightiest angel takes no familiarity with God. The wings of rev erence are lifted. "With twain he cover ed the face." Another seraphic posture In the text. The seraph must not always stand still.. He must move, and it must be without clumsiness. There must be celerity and beauty in the movement. "With twain he did fly. Correction, exlleratlon. Cor- fection at our slow gait, for we only crawl in the service when we ought to fly at the divine bidding. Exhilaration in the fact that the soul has wings, as the seraphs have wines. What is a winer? An Instru ment of locomotion. They may not be like seraphs wing, they may not be like birds wing, but the soul has wings. God says so. "He shall mount up on wings as eagles. we are made in the divine im age, and God has wings. The Bible says so. "Healing in his wings." "Under the shadow of his wings." Under whose wings hast thou come to trust." The soul with folded wine now. wounded wine. broken wine, bleeding wine, caeed wine. Aye, I have it now! Caged within bars of bone and under curtains of flesh, but one day to be free. I hear the rustle of pin ions in Seagrave's poem, which we some times sing: ?

"He shali set one foot on the sea and the other on the earth." Give me the history of your foot, and I will give you the history of your lifetime. Tell me up what steps it hath gone, down what declivities and in what roads and in what directions, and I will know more about you than I want to know. None of us could endure the scrutiny. Our feet not always in paths of God, sometimes in paths of worldliness. Our feet a divine and glorious machinery for usefulness and work, so often making missteps, so often going -in the wrong direction. God knowing every step, the patriarch saying, "Thou settest a print on the heels qf my feet." Crimes of the hand, crimes of the tongue, crimes of the eye, crimes of the ear not worse than crimes of the foot. Oh, we want -the wings of humility to cover the feet! Ought we not to go into self abnegation before the all searching, all scrutinizing, all trying eye of God? The seraphs do. How much more we? "With twain he covered the feet!" All this talk about the dignity' of hu man nature is braggadocio and sin. Our nat,ure started at the hand of God regal, but it has been pauperized. . There is a well in Belgium which once had very pure water, and it was stoutly masoned with stone and brick, but that well afterward became the centre of the battle of Water loo. At- the opening of the battle the so-; dlers, with their sbrgs, popipelled the gardener! William von Kylsom, to draw water out of the well for them, and it was very pure water. But the battle rag ed, and 300 dead and half dead were flung into the well for Quick and easy burial, so that the well of refreshment became the well of death, and long after people looked down into the well, and they saw the bleached skulls, but no water. So the human -soul was a well of good, but the armies of sin have fought around it and fought across it and been slain, and it has become a well of skeletons. Dead hopes, dead resolutions, dead opportuni ties, dead ambitions. An abandoned well unless Christ shall reopen and purify and fill it as the well of Belgium never was. Unclean, unclean. s RELIC YANIUL8, Another seraphie posture in the text, "With twain he covered the face.". That means reverence Godward. i Never so much irreverence abroad in the world as today. You see it in the defaced statu ary, in the cutting out of figures from fine paintings, in the chipping of monu ments for a memento, in the fact that military guard must stand at the grave of Lincoln and Garfield, and that old shade trees must be cut down for fire wood, though 50 George P.

There was an array of statistics on wheat today enough to encourage the most faint-heartened bull and yet the gain in prices, owing to the Slackness of trade and to the indifference of foreigners, was greatly disproportion ate to the information. The world's ship ments for. the week-2,636,000 bushels- were the smallest in years. The amount on ocean passage decreased 1,760,000 last week; the American visible supply was 1,418,000 bushels and the English supply 2S6.000 bushels. Under ordinary circum stances the figures mentioned should have resulted in a 2 to 3c rise in values, but at the close of the market the net apprecia tion was less than lc. Trade was very quiet, commission houses having few out side orders and the local professionals doing but little. Quite a number of crop damage stories . were received rrom at Louis and other southwestern points, but they, apparently, had little effect on the market. Cash wheat was firm and to 5c per Dusnei nigner. i The corn market was dull, but firm. Transactions bore no marks of importance or interest, only small lots being traded in. Outside orders were few and scalp ing was all that kept the market from falling into complete hfelessness. Cash corn was easy. ; There was some short selling of oats at the opening but. as the sales did not prove immediately profitable, the DroDer- ty was covered, the result being a firmer tone. Traders looked to the other mark ets for motive. Cash oats were steady at eaiui -pay s prices. , j come inclination to oo business was manifested in the provision market today. A better feeling developed lately, and on the least encouragement there is fair buying. Light receipts of hoes and an advance in their price stimulated the de mand today, values showing .some appre ciation, une reiusai or tne urench gov ernment; to impose an import duty on American pork was also an aid to the market.
