An odd war of earning a livio jr came under my notice accidentally j the Other dav. Passing one of our large bachelor apartment-houses up towo, I saw coming down the steps a quaint lit tle old lady. From her arm swung one ot those oldfaehicned black baskets with two handles, one ot those baskets that grandma takes when she goes visiting. As she neared the last step her foot slipped, and but for my timely "grab" ehe would have fallen to the ground, but I was not quick enough to save the basket. Down it went rolliog and bumping, never stopped untill it had reached the gutter, and spilling its contents at every bump. And euch a queer lot ot things, socks of all hues and colors done up in neat little rolls, collars and coifs with frayed edges, holey band kerchiefs that fluttered away in the breeze, seme articles of gentleman's underwear, a gay looking night shirt with blue cambric mffles down the iront, and a torn collar and many other things I could only glance at in my wild endeavors to pick them all up at once. I found after we had gotten them all bacK in the basket, that my old lady was really qnite white and shaken from her fright, and after askiDg where she lived, I volun teered to see her home. It was only a few blocks, and proved to be a modest little house, where she told me she "only had one room, but was very comforta ble." She was absurdly grateful and insisted ou my going in. Up two flights of stairs and across a dreary landing, and my hostess opened the door of the oddest iittle room imaginable A thick rag carpet covered the floor, gay chintz half curtains cov ered the windows, bright with ger aniums and vines. A plump white little cot filled one corner of the room, and an old time bureau with brass rings held some blue chintz that would have made your heart ache with envy. One or two chairs with chintz cushions, a large work-basket, a few ancient looking framed photographs on the walls, and the whole picture completed by a great gray pussy, asleep before the tiniest cock stove you could think of. The rosy glow tbat friendly little stove threw half across the room, the silvery steam from the bobbling cea kettle, the odors from pipkin md gleaming little sauce pan made ue exclaim, as I enterred, " What a darling little room !" Before my visit was over she told ue she earned her own living and low do you suppose 1 by mending elothe3. She had been doing this now for over five years, has her regular customers, and I should imagine does very well at it. "They are mostly backelors, deary, some of them I know very well, some ct tbem I rarely see. j They're all good to me, though." kIow could they help being good to yon," I thought, as I looked at the dear old face. "My first customer was the gen tleman my son worked for, when he was living, then I hardly know how they came. One must have told the other, some kind ladies sent me to some of their friends, and now I have all I can do. "Yes, I have my regular prices, and I manage it this way. They all know me where my gentlemen live, so I go right up to their rooms, and whatever I see to be done, I bring home in my basket. "Sometimes I find a note asking me to send home some particular shirt or vest 'right away,' and I never disappoint them. That's why they like me I guess," she added quaiutlv. "I mend and patch, darn socks, sew on tapes and buttons, make new shirt bands and button-holes, reline vests, put in new pockets, fix the frayed edges of trousers, and" she added with pardonable pride "I guess I can reline an overcoat as good as most tailors, do, any way 1 generally have a few to do every winter. "Sometimes they just seem like my own children," added the bless ed old soul "I know just bow ev ery one of them wear their clothes. "I have a httie mark on all of them to tell them apart, but bless you I could tell one from the other just by the holes in their socks." "Some wear them at the heel some at the toe, some even at the side. "One of my gentlemen pulls all the tapes off his clothes, and an other has to have his vest lined over about every two months. "How do I get paid ? I leave a bill every month, and I always find the money next time I go." "No, Miss you're quite right uo one would get rich doing it, but I make a living and am indepen dent that's everything. "My gentlemeu often make me little presents. One of them called on me one evening, and the next day he sent me the little chair you'r sitting in. "Once last winter when I was sick, you wouldn't have thought they would know it, but one ot them is a doctor, and he came every day, and so many of the others sent me good things, 1 just had to hurry up and get well to eat them. "I'd like to tell you about one of them, I call him 'my boy, "He's a young fallow without any folksand he lived alone in a little hall bed-room. "Ic always made my heart ache to look over there, everything look ed so lonesome and dreary. "I used to notice a picture of a lady on the bureau, and I'd wonder if it was his mother. "Well, one alternoon I went there and he was home. I'd never seen him but once before, and I was frightened at the change in him. "He'd come from the country and when I just saw him he seemed to be just a good-looking, happyfaced boy but now he looked like a bro ken hearted man, "He was sitting, all hoddled up in a chair with the picture I'd no ticed, hugged up in his arms, and the tears were rolling down his face. "I tried to back out but he jumps ed np and shook himself; and told me to come in. "I went over to the bureau with out noticing, and began to look over the things, but just as I was shak ing out a night shirt that needed sewing, I felt it twitched out of my Land, and I looked around to find the poor boy with his head buried clown in it sobbing like a baby. "I've bad a boy of my own" with a, little choke "so I just smoothed liira on the head, and patted bim without saying anything for a min ute, then I askea him 'what was i he matter ?' "He tried to set his teeth and be brave, but he couldn't, and bo just cried right out fob, my mother is dead my dear, deary mother is dead.1 "Dear me, bow we did both cry after that ! "I stayed with him most an hour and be told me all about himself. "Fie had come to the city so as to earn more than he could at home he and his mother were the only ones left of the family he'd worked so hard expecting to have her with him, and just when be was almost ready for her a letter come saying she had died suddenly with pbeu- monia. "I ofteu thank God I found him just wneu I did, cause I was able to be a comfort to him. "He came to see me the next night and he's come twice a week ever Fince this little room makes him thiuk of his own home, he pays. "All those flowfift in the window he brought roe when he went back to see hi? inother for the last time, sho litiied them herself, and I al ways have a little bouqur t of them leady for him every time he comes, "I hate to charge bjm for mending his things, he seems so like my own folks bnt he won't listen to it, so I'll tell you what I do with his mon ey. I tuck it away separate from j the rest, and some day wbeu he i gets married I'll use It for his wed ding present." Before I left she made me promise to come some afternoou and "drink tea" with her, and I shall certainlv jg for to know thi cheerful, iode- jicuucui nuui, 111 urr um-iHsuioneu room 111 the midst of this hustling, hard-hearted city, is like finding some sweet'breatbed, modest flower, in a dusty field; and I shall not be unmindful of my blessed privileges, PIutToriii or the Dein-ratic Party. Resolved, 1. That the democracy of North Carolina reaffirm the piin ciples of the democratic party, both State and national, and particular ly favor the free coinage of silver and an increase of the currency, and the repeal of the internal revenue system. And we denounce the Mc Kinley tariff bill as nnjuat to the consumers of the country, and lead ing to the formation of trusts, com bines and monopolies which have oppressed the people; and especially do we denounce the unnecessary and burdensome increase in the tax on cotton ties and on tin, so largely used by the poorer portion of the people. We likewise denounce the iuiquitiouB force bill, which is not yet abandoned by the republican party, but is being urged as a meas ure to be adopted as soon as they regain control of the House of Rep, resentatives, the purpose and effect of which measure will be to estab. lish a second period of reconstruct on the Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people and iu flame a uew race antagonism and sectional animosities. 2. That we demand financial re form, and the enactment of laws that will remove the burden of the people relative to the existing ag ricultural depression, and do full and ample justice to the farmers and laborers of our country. 3. That we demand the abolition of national banks, ana th e substitu tion of legal tender treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes, is sued in sufficient volume to do the business ot the country on a cash system, regulating the amount need ed cn, a per capita basis as the bus. iness interests of the country ex pmd, and that all money issued by the government shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, both public and private. 4. That we demand that Congress a a all pass such laws as shall effect ually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing such strin gant system of procedure in trials a- shall secure prompt conviction and imposing such penalties as shnll secure most perfect compli ance with the law. 5. That we demand the free and jaliraited coinage of silver. 6. Tnat we demand the passage of laws prohibiting the alien owner ship of land, and tht Congress rake early steps to devise some plan to obtain p11 lands now owned by alien and foreign syndicates; and that ail lands now held by railroads and other corporations, in excess of such as actually used and needed by them, be reclaimed by the gov ernment and held for actual settlers only. 7. Believing in the doctrine of "equal rights to all and special priv. ileges to none," we demand that taxation, national or State, shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all rev enue, national, State or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government econ omically and honestly administered. 8. That Congress issue a sufficient amount ot fraciionat paper currency to taciliato the exchange through the raedinm of the United States mail. Resolved, That the General As sembly pass sucn laws as will make the public school system more ef fective that, the blessings of educa tion may be extended toall the people ot the State alike. Resolved, That we demand a grad uated tax on incomes. The Lincoln Courier can be had for $1.25 a year, cash iu advance. NORTH C4HOLIXV TEACII 12 US' ASSEMBLY. Xlutli Annua I Session, More head City, X. C, June 21 to July 4, 1S02. Ti'e woik of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly is aunually growing iu interest and value to the teachers of our State, and to its in fluence is largely due the general prosperity which is now being en joyed by the schools throughout our borders. Its delightful midsummer meet logs in the teachers' own "home by the sea," at Morehead City, bring ing together many thousand teach ers and their friends for most proN itable educational work and in charming social intercourse, have given a new encouragement and in spiration to the teachers and indnc- ed a stronger support and appieci atiou of the teachers work among those who patronize the schools. And the enjoyments and benefits which the teachers and frionds of education in North Carolina are to derive from the Teachers' Assembly are yet but just begun to be reaU ized. Besides the intellectual aud social enjoyments of the Teachers Assem bly, the physical benefits which are derived fiora the trip cannot be overestimated. There is nothiucr which can so completely and effect ually restore strength and energy to thoroughly exhausted nature as the rest and recreation of a sojourn at the seaside. The pure salt air the plunge iu the splendid surf, the excitement of fishing and sailing and the inspiration of tha preseuce of the mighty ocean soon make us forget the fatigue of the school room and every hard-worked teacher finds the recuperation so greatly teeded. There is no place in the United States so valuable to the North Car olina teacher as the sessions of the Teachers' Assembly. The Executive Committee has been hard at work to prepare a pro f.iamme for the coming session wuich shall be of the greatest possi ble interest and benefit to the teach, ers who desire to make steady progs re ss in their work. To this end the very highest abil ity among the profession in North Carolina has been placed at the dis. pcsal of the committee for selection at d liberal use has been made of this array of talent, ability and ex perience. The work of the session will be properly classified and assigned to scecial days for each department. Among the days so far appointed are, "Popular Education," "Classi cal," "Academical," "County Su perintendence," "English Litera ture." "Modern Languages,r "Tern p; ranee," and 'General History." Each day is in the charge of a spe cial committee, which will arrange a:a excellent programme of live and it teresting subjects with the very best of our popular speakers to pre s nt them. In addition to this regular work, ttere will be two public entertain ments and a special course of in struction to teachers, by the inimit able "Frank Beard," wno, as a pop ular and witty "ChaU Artist" and lecturer, has no equal in America. His instruction will have special reference to the use of the black board in the school and Sunday school, by every teacher, iu rapidly illustrating important lessons and information. Engagements have al ready been made with Rev. Thomas Dickson, Jr., who is, perhaps, the most popular and fascinating plats form speaker iu this country, and with the University Glee Club, whose unique entertainments never fail to charm an audience- Every feature of the programme is entirely free to all persons who hold Certificates of Membership iu the Teachers' Assembly. The committee has also secured lectures from some ot the most prominent educators iu the country aod specially pleased will the teach ers be to meet Dr. Edward S. Joynes of the University ot South Carolina; Hon. Frank M. Smith of the Uni versity of Tennessee ; Hon. Josiah H. Shinn, Stale Superintendent of Arkansas ; Mr. T. F. Donneily, ot New York, author of "Barnes' Prrs mary History of the United States,' Mrs. Idalia G. Myers, of Washings ton, D. C, and other noted educate ors and literary men and women. Among the eutertainments will bo a musical and literary evening by members of the Assembly and a concert by the Glee Club of the Uni. versity of North Carolina. Every day will be a day ot profit and en joyment, and Couuty Superintend ents cauuot too strongly urge their teachers to attend the Assembly this year. Tbeie will also be an in ter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest for the Assembly gold ined.il and an Instrumental Musi; Contest by pu pits from the ft-male schools of the State. The railroads throughout North. Carolina havo always showed a pe- culiar iuternst in the TVaehejs' As. sembly and have encouraged the work in every possible way. The rate at which tickets to the Assem bly are sold is lower than that giveu to any other organization in the United States, being only about one and a half cents a mile each way. Assembly ticket will be ou sale this season to Morehead City from June 18th to 30th, good to returu until July 31, The annual fees from members of the Assembly are $2,00 for males and 1.00 for females, and at the earnest solicitation of our Executive Committee a coupon for $2.00 will le attached to each railroad ticket. This will save all trouble in sending to the Secretary for the Certificate of Membership. At Morehead City the ticket is to be presented to the Secretary, who will take up the con pon and issue a certificate, only upon which can the reduced rate of board at the Atlantic Hotel be secured. To each female member of the As sembly Sl-00 will be returned by the Secretary when the ticket with coupon is presented to him. The S2.00 coupon attached to railroad tuket pays the membership fee ft r 1892. The rate of board at the Atlantic Hotel is &2 50 per day, but to those who hol l the Teachers' Assembly Certificate the rate is only $1.00 per dy. These rates and conditions will be strictly adhered to this sea 803. The Teachers' Assembly has, nn der the exclusive management of tb 3 Secretary, made several exceed itn:ly successful and enjoyable tours. Ttey have included trips to the ex treme western part of our State, Whiogton City, New York. Niag ara Falls, England, Scotland, Ireland and Erance, and to Cuba and Flor ida. In the aggregate these select parties have numbered seven hun dred persons and there has never be-en an accident or a serious case of sickness. At the close of the co ning session of the Assembly a large party ot teachers and their friends will leave Morehead City on thfi morning of July 4th for a trip to Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the ses 8iod of the Southern Educational Association which meets in that city July C9. The fare will be very low and tickets will be sold at Morehead City to Atlanta and return from the point where your Assembly ticket ends. By this plan there will be no loss on the Assembly ticket, and thus the party can start at the same time and ou a special train from Morehead City: No arrangements can be made for persons to join this party at the re doced rates who are not present at Morehead City on July 4tb. the day of departure for Atlanta. A visit to the South's most impor tant ciry and to this grand gather ing of the leaders in Southern edu cation will be an event to be remem bered with pleasure for a long wbile.
