Worthington's Interne, Graphic, Picturesque Description of the Dark Days of Reconstruction, the Darkest, Saddest, Bit terest Days That Ever Befrll any Modern People After a flost Desperate War. Wilmington M-'ss'enixer. We have carefully and interesting ly read the new book concerning the South issued from the press of Messrs. P. 1). Gold & Sons, Wilson, N. U. It is fairly well done and ii creditable to the publishers. It is entitled "The Broken Sword," and is from the facile pen of Col. 1). Worlhiujfton, now a resident of Wilson, but of whose previous history of nativity wc have no knowledge. That he is a writer of boldness, vigor and pertinacity of purpose is apparent from the begin ning to the end of this volume which deserves to b) widely read all over the South, and by all who have eome upon the stage of action since 1S70. He calls his book "A Pictorial Page in Reconstruction.'" It is well named for it is an intense, graphic, pictur- 1 e-que and vitalized description of the darkest, saddest, bitterest days that ever befell any modern people after a protracted and most desperate ! war. "The Broken Sword" cannot be j called a novel or even a romance. It I has but little of the qualities a:;d j characteristics of a genuine neve!. It i is more of a reminiscence and a his- ! tory, and is really an interesting, ah- j or 1 i 11 uk-vuoiiii.

What a day of desolation and crime and wrath! Hell seemed turned loose. The dark ness was like that of Kgypt, and you could feel it. It was the dread satur nalia of white man's villainy and the black man's folly a day of reprisal and pillage and" persecution and un tamed savagery. North Carolina should have that - - 1 a. n..i.nfiillf nnl in. period in us iumoij uaiciun, ly, accurately, vigorously presented. It was tne time wut-u -...v.. reached its lowest depths of ignominy and the infernal world opened wide its devouring jaws. We have said that the " r.rouen Sword" is not a novel or a romance. It is a scries of most lively, fresh, energetic, appealing, illuminating pictures, the whole forming a com- plete representation, as u a. au -rama of the reconduction times, but better described as destruction times. We found use for our handkerchief more than once, for there is beauty, tenderness, human nature, real life in many places. It is full of pathetic appeal.there are many pages of power, there are passages of kindling elo quence, there are scenes of enthralling passion. It is not a perfect work. It is not the production of a trained artist. It is overdone in placrs. The language is sometimes strained, as pirin"- in excess, almost ;i aim 1 and turgid, and the classic t ions abound to repletion. usira- lbit the work as a whole is extremely ani mated and even brilliant, at once passionate, glowing and virile. It would not please perhaps the acute, This Train Jus W. J. Pittard, Engineer. The Largest, oves nr j Ti cultured British critic, wide awake and on the hunt for objections and faults and blurs in the art and the style. We opine that a Yankee writ'!', with his freshly ground scalpol, would delight in cutting this Southern product into parts and offer ing certaiu things to the view as base ami false and ridiculous. But we hold to what we have said. The book has power, interest, truth, life, pic torialuess, it is a picture, a portrayal of character, of cause, of events, of results. It reproduces, in some exaggeration, wc trraot. the awful, blundering, savage days of recon struction in the South. But it is a picture nevertheless that should long live. We trust the unborn genera tions in the South will read this reve lation of consummate villainy and iniquity, this masterly description of devils incarnate and stupidity run to seed. There is good character drawing both of whites and negroes. The neirro dialect is faithful and impres sive, but it is of the most ignorant negroes. In fact, it sometimes ap peared to us that it almost drifted into caricature. There are three or four negroes who are drawn with amusing coloring, and yet there is a genuine verisimilitude in the execu tion.

Now that the crops have been gathered and it is an off season so to speak with the farmers, the Lumber ton Robesonian throws out the follow- ing timely suggestion: The time heretofore spent in re I pairing fences, before the adoption of i spring plowing, or by being destroy ed by cattle turned on the fields. The turning under of such growths is one of the cheapest methods of improving land, and one which is too much neglected by our people. It is much j uais 0f the nation should build the less expensive than surfing, and pea- j Canton memorial and that the Gov vines especially contain fertilizing J ernment should make appropriation elements which are most needed and j for tjie one at Washington city, which are also most costly. Too j niuch care cannot be taken in return ing everything possible to the soil, and our farmers should exercise greater efforts in this direction.

Some confusion exists about the memorial to be erected to the memory of the late President McKinley be cause two associations have been formed. The memorial at Canton will be the one built by popular sub scription, while later Congress is expected to erect an immense me morial bridge connecting Washington city and Alexandria as the tribute of the nation.

AN EFFORT TO RESCUE HIM FROM THE ISLAND OF ST. HELENA. His Death Announced Three Days Be fore the Expedition Was to Have Sailed From New Orleans Reason to Believe That the Thoughts of Europe's Oreatest Soldier Turned Frequently to the Western Republic. In Lord Uosebery's recent work on Napoleon he says little is really known of the last six years of the exiled Emperor's life. 'There is reason to believe that the thoughts of Kurope'i greatest soldier turned frequently to the Western Republic, in whose favor he said he "signed away an Empire," during his exile on St. Helena. It is plain from his written and spoken words that he looked to the Lnited States as the most powerful future rival of Great Britain. There arc traces of his intention to visit this country in many of his unpublished manuscripts. It is a well established fet that the nreat Emneror had man v friends and ardent sympathizers amon? the French settlers both In Canada and the United States. This is especially true of the city of New Orleans and the other French settle ments of Southern Louisiana. It may be possible to prove that there was a secret correspondence carried on be tween the prisoner on the lonely Island and tome of the citizens of New Orleans. The prominent part Napoleon took in the transfer of the Louisiana Purchase, and the coming Exposition to celebrate the accession of that vast territory to the United States, have awakened new interest in the hero who sleeps in the beauti ful Hotel des Invalides, in Paris. The fact is recalled that a French citizen of New Orleans, a Monsieur Girod built a large and handsome home on the old Street St. Louis in that city, fitted it up elegantly and kept it ready for the occupancy of a distinguished .,1 .1 . -j! V jruesi. ah tne oiuer cuizeua in cn Orleans will remember the house When M. Girod commenced the house he bought a staunch ship, enlisted a number of soldiers and sailors, and drilled them to climb rocky escarp ments. Three days before this ship was readv to sail, the news of Napol eon's death was received at Ne Orleans. The expedition of M. Girod, which was to forcibly rescue Napoleon from his Ensdish prison on the Island of St. Helena, was of course abandon ed. and a chronic melancholy took possession of his energetic and de voted cnampion in iouisiauu. Did the deposed Emperor know of this effort to free him and bring him to the foremost city in the great do main his hand had signed away to the Western Republic? It is reason able to conclude that he was informed of this expedition and was prepared to co-operate with his American friends. He was a comparatively voun? man when he died. If his life had been spared, and he had landed in the Crescent City, he would proo ably have made as many changes on the map of the Western Hemisphere as he did on that of Europe. The French-Canadians, especially in Mob treal, Quebec, Nova Scotia, would have rallied to his standard. Thous ands of French citizens of the then young Republic would have done the same. It is one of the mosi interesting of the "what miirht have been" nues- fy M tions the world can ask. The Louisiana Purchase Commission has an opportunity to add a most at tractive feature to" their Exposition by establishing a Napoleonic Museum on th grounds to be collected and in- stalled by those who first suggested it and wno nave access 10 uaia mm ma terial, some of which is unknown to . 1 the French people themselves. There was such intense excitement in parts of the Louisiana Purchase Territory that poems and songs were writteu about Napoleon when his death occurred Some of these were gems of their kind.
