A Mexican Cemetery,
A coiTcpniMltnt describes tho
queer cemetery of tho Mexican
village of (inanajiiato. There is
lurdly mom in (inanajiiato for tho
Ining, ho it behooves her people to
exercise ritf tJ economy in tho dis
position of her dead. Tho brutal
pUce is on the fp of a stoop hill,
which overlooks the city, and con
Bints of an area inclosed by what
appears from tho outside to lio a
high wall, but which discovers it
self from witl in to e a receptacle
for bodies, which are placed in tiers,
much as Mie confines of the riaUve
valleys compel them to live. Each
compartment in it is largo enough
to aaniit one coliin, and is rented
fr one dollar er month. Tho poor
people are buried in the ground
without tho formality of a coliin,
though one is usually rented, in
which tho body is conveyed to the
mve. A 8 there aro not graves
enough to go around, whenever a
new one is needed a previous tenant
must be disturbed, and this likewise
happens when a tenant's rent is not
promptly paid in advance. Tho
body is then removed from its place
in tho mausoleum, or exhumed, as
the ea.so may he, and tho bones are
thrown into tho basement below.
Silver Democrats Conlndent.
The following from the Washing
ton Post is interesting :
The oflicers of tho Democratic
Iiimctallic Committee refuse to
show their hand by uoing into do
tails concerning their v.ork. l'ut
they boldly declare the free coinage
people will control the Chicago
(onvention, adopt a ringing free
coinage platform, and nominate a
tried and true champion of the free
coinage ot silver. I hey aro not
circulating much literature, rather
depending upon the other organi
zations to do that. Senator Harris
has, however, tiubosoined himself
83 far as to say :
" L tie committee ot which 1 Bin
chairman is in receipt of abundant
information from the various States
to justify my assertion at this time
that the free coinage people will
enter the Chicago Convention with
a pronounced majority, such a ma
jority as will dictate terms from the
start. These terms will be un
changeable. They will bo free
coinat'ii of silver at the ratio of 10
to 1, and the candidate must stand
squarely on the platform. There
will be no surrender. As masters
of the field, we shell write the plat
form and name the candidate."
Politeness.
The best mannered persons are
those who try to make themselves
agreeable to their friends who are
kind and considerate to their de
pendents and inleriois. The truest
politeness proceeds from a genuine
kind-heartedness which hesitates to
mar, by wore! or action, 'he happi
ness of others. From a world ly
point of view politeness is the best
stock in trade that one can possess.
It has opened more d ors of ad
vancement than any faculty, genius
or art, because for strangers there is
no other way tr. judjre another's
character than by externals.
Even the spurious politeness
which is assumed for certain pur
poses, or to accomplish certain ends,
lias a degree ot success because it
overcomes prcdjndice and wins
good opinions. There have been
women whose charm of manner
has won more admiration than was
ever accorded mere beauty, and
many illustrations might be used
to prove the importance of cul
tivating the art of being agreeable,
were any proof needed. Ex.
The sentiment of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee on the
currency question is said to Ik-: For
tree coinage, 4o ; tor gold standard,
17. The proportion of free coinage
advocates in the party generally, in
this State, is probably much greater
than this.

The idea of keeping bloodhounds
to trace criminals is meeting with
much favor in some portions of the
State. A number of counties,
especially those that have a convict
force, now keep the animals and
where they are used they are said to
give good satisfaction in tracking
and running down criminals. Wood
hounds are kept at the penitentiary
farms to assist in capturing escaped
convicts, and the Seaboard Air Line
Jtitilroad has them to trace train
wreckers. The Winston Republi
can has for Some time urged the
authorities ot Forsyth to buy some
of these dogs to assist the oflicers in
their duties.
Hardly a day passes that the pa
pers do not tell of some peculiar and
astounding action by the freak pro
ducts of the late legislature. A
gentleman who a-t tired to Winston
a few days ago from a visit to Moore
county tells tiio Sentinel a colored
man was tried before one of the new
magistrates in that county, several
days ago, on the charge of beating
his wife with a hoard. A young
lawyer appeared for the defendant
and plead earnestly for the release of
the old darkey. The magistrate
ruled, however, that Sambo was
guilty of manslaughter and he enter
ed up his judgement accordingly. In
addition to this, ho decided that the
wife was entitled to a divorce, and
lie granted her one without any
f'uithcr discussion. Of course
neither judgment will hold good.

Christ' Last Days on
T. C. IIAVIS IN MOBnl CITf (V AKIIBI.I'lT.
Sunday, April Mb, wia Fa-iter,
which carries our minds back to the
lust days of Christ. Much of the
gospel narrative m given to the last
week of onr Lord's life, commonly
called passion week or, "week of
suffering," which began Sunday,
April 2d, and closed Ninday, apn
0th. A. D.. 30.
It should bo remembered that
the closing months of Christ's min
istry wcro spent in Perea, east of
the Jordan. Iho last wcck in
March he began his lust journey to
Jerusalem, on the cvo of tho great
I'assover feast. On the last day of
March ho arrivod at Lethany, on
tho eastern slope of the Mount of
Olives, and there spent Saturday,
April 1st, in the home of Alary and
Martha.
During the last week Lethany
continued to bo the homo of Christ
and his apostles, Jerusalem beifii
visi'ed by day and tho nights spent
at Iictliany
On Sunday, April 2d, ho made
lis triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Monday, tho ltd, he cleansed tho
Temple; Tuesday, April 4tli, in the
Temple occm red Chriet's last public
teaching. In tho evening he flopped
on his return to Hcthany on Mount
Olivet ami spoke trivatelv to his
apostles iho parables of the Virgins
and talents, and tho prophecies con-
eriiing Jerusalem and the day of
judgment. Wednesday, April .Mb,
was spent in retirement in I'ethany.
Thursday, A in it t!th, occurred in
order tho last Passover and the
-ord's Supper, followed by Christ's
ast discourse with his apostles and
his agony in (iethsctnane. Friday,
April 7th, about 15 o'clock a, m
Christ was arrested and taken be
fore Annas and Caiuphas. Jie
tween .'1 and ti o'clock a. in oc
curred the trial by, Caiaphas and
the Sanhedrim From 0 to !! a. in.
Christ appeared before Pilate,
Herod, and again Pilate, was
scourged and crucified. Ho was
on the Cross from 9 to '.I p. m. He
died at IS o'clock and was buried
between 3 and i p. m. Saturday,
April 8th, he lay in the tomb. Sun
day, April !Uh, was the resurrec
tion of Christ.
i'etween the resurrection of
Chritt, Sunday, April t'th, and the
ascension, r.
iMh, occurred the
"forty days' during which ti mu
our I-ord appeared eleven times as
follows: Sunday, April !lth, Resur
rection day, to Mary Magdalene, to
other women, to Peter, to the two
disciples on the road to Emmiiiis,
and at night in Jerusalem to ten of
tho apostles. Sunday, April 10,
Christ again appeared at night in
Jerusalem to his apostles, Thomas
being present. During the week
following he appeared in Galilee
to the seven lishing on the lake, to
the eleven on the mountains, to
live hundred at one time and to
James alone.
Sunday, May lSth, in the pres
ence ol the eleven apostles, near to
I'ethany, occurred the eleventh and
last appearance, a6 he ascended
into Heaven, where he now sits at
the right hand of the Father making
intercessions for us.
Foretold Her Death.
Miss I'cssio Willis, tho fifteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Jerkins Willis, ol Wavncsville, died
in Asheville Sunday at 5:45 P. M.,
at the residence of her aunt, Mrs.
W. O. Mnller, 10 Charlotte street.
Miss Willis had la-cn suffering for
nearly a year with valvular heart
trouble, and was brought to Ashe
ville in the hope that the change of
altitude would benefit tho patient.
The hope was realized for a time,
but a short time ago it was seen
that she could not recover. A 12
year old sister of Miss Willis died
from a similar trouble little more
than a year ago.
Sunday morning Miss Willis told
her mother and others at the bed
side that she had a vision of heaven,
where she saw her sister and friends
who had passed over the rivei. She
said that she would dio at a quarter
to six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
It was not thought she could pos
sibly live until that time, but she
lingered until precisely that hour,
when she died as peacefully as a
child sinks into sIuiiiIht. Abbeville

WHY CUBA SHOULD BE FREE.
WHAT A PROMINENT GENTLEMAN, WHO
HAS BEEN IN CUBA FOUR MONTHS,
SAVS OF THE SITUATION.
An Ameiican gentleman of wide
experience arid careful observation,
whp is entitled to write "honorable"
be'oro Ins name, and who has been
in Cuba four months, representing
a largo corporation, has given the
situation careful study. Ho hag
come to the conclusion that the
United States should recognize tho
belligerency of the insurgents and
gives the following eight reasons
fur such an action :
1. Recauso it is a justifiable rebel
lion, of long standing, is maintain
ed by a force which practically
dominates the greater part of tho
land, except the seaports, whicl
could not So held by any land force
gainst nut e and land fore!
2. ltof,wMt the coiitinuanco of
mieru'v ii repugnant to tlio age
and ! '' reason of the proximity of
the United States is prejudicial to
our interests.
i, liicaiiso tome is no hypothesis
that gives reasonable hope of en
duiablo conditions in Cuba except
that of self-government.
4. 1'ccause there cin bo no assur
ance against recurring revolutions
and continued disturbance ol our
commercial interests except by re
moval of the causo of irritation.
5. P.ccaiise the I'nited States, by
reason of its proximity and its in
stitutions, is responsible for the
liberal sentiment in Culrt.
C. Rccausc the I'nited Stales, as
the champion of the righls of man,
may not sit by indifferent to the
right of revolution upon which its
own existence as a nation is founded.
7. j iccause nine-tenths of the
icoplo of Cuba desire relief and are
avorablo to intervention by the
United States, their burden having
become insupportable
b. liecauso the insurgents insin-
tain a defacto government, in as
tangible form and substance as from
the insular position would be prac
ticable to any people.

A Demand for Judge Lynch,
A special to the Richmond Dis
patch from Clifton Forgo, Va.,
says: Ono of the most brutal and
fiendish murders ever jH-rpetratcd
in Alleghany county occurred Tues
day between 8 and o'clock. The
scene ot the horrible tragedy is
about a half "iilo from Longdale
station, a point on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, about three miles
east of Clifton Forge. Tho per
petrator of the deed is an unknown
negro man, and his victim was a
14-year old colored girl,thedanghter
of William Wallace, an employe of
tho Longdale Iron company.
It seems that the murderer made
Lis first demonstrations against the
wifo of a white man, who also resides
near Longdale station. He went
to tho house and npon request was
given something to eat. He then
left, but presuming the woman was
aono, returned and, crawling in an
open window, struck her down. At
this junction the fiend heard some
ono approaching, and becoming
alarmed, made his escape.
IV.. .. . ...
lie rncn proceeded toward the
house of William Wallace. Ho
found the colored girl in the wood,
about half a mile from tho house,
and accomplished Ins purpose and
nil n.. f . .
Killed her. ltio girls body was
thrown in a hole tilled with water,
near the spot where the crime had
been committed.
The alarm was given, and it is said
that over 100 white and colored
men are scouring the mountains be
tween Longdate and Clifton Forgo
in search ot the man. I p to v
o'clock p. m. the lugitivo had not
been caught. Judging lrom the
excitement that is said to prevail in
the vicinity where tho foul deed
was committed, it is apparent that
he will be lynched if caught. Parties
coming here from Ixmgdalo since
'J o'clock to-night say that the boots
and the hat of the lugitive have
been found, and that the chase wiH
bo kept up all night, or until he has
beeu captured.
A Circular to Silver Democrats,
The following circular is said to
have been distributed to the Demo
crats of Wako county : '
How to get silver, Democrats,
see to it,
1. That every "silver man" iu
your precinct attends the primary.
2. That only such men as fully
and unequivocally say that they
favor the free and unlimited coin
ago of silver and gold at the ratio
of 10 to 1 by this country, indepen
dently of other nations, are solected
as delegates to your county conven
tion. 3. That only such men as above
are elected as delegates to the State
District conventions.
4. Watch out for bo called "bi
metallists," they are your worst en
emies, and some of them will fool
yon if thoy can.
5. In addition to your regular
delegates to the State and District
conventions, have your county con
vention elect, at the same time the
regular delegates aro elected, ono or
more additional delegates, who will
be sure to attend, from Raleigh or
elsewhere, to cast the vote of your
county in the event the regular del
egates do not attend. This is very
important, as the bond buyers and
tiieir emissaries are counting cn sil
ver men not lading able on account
ol poverty to attend, while they will
soo to it that every one of their men
who can be elected a delegate has
the means to get there. Money will
be furnished our enemies.
Guard carefully against all con
tingencies. The enemies of the peo
ple are on the watch, and will take
advantage of every slip.
Nine tenths of the Democrats of
North Carolina are in favor of free
silver. See that the conventions
represent your seutiments. l'y so
doing only can we successfullv place
North Carolina where she belong.

Postmaster General "Wilson has
declared that the United States Slave

Washington, D. C, was in violation
of the postal regulations, and was
not entitled to the privileges of the

This bureau was but recently in
corporated under the laws of the
District, and the department made
investigation of its method of
business. It was ascertained that
three ot the incorporators of the
bureau gave Washington as their
residence, but none resided in the
District at the tinio of incorpora
tion. They have just established
offices there, but began doing busi
ness in a sub office in Savannah,
Ga., several weeks ago, by sending
out literature, lhe plan ot the
bureau was to secure a record of all
lersons holding slaves on Jan. 1,
1S03, Instructions and blanks were
sent out to former slaveholders or
their heirs, for them to state the
number of slaves owned, and their
sex. i nese blanks were to oe nueu
out and returned to the bureau with
a fee of from $1 to $5, tho bureau
promising to have bills introduced
in Congress looking to the repay
ment for slaves. The report ot the
Po6t Office inspector is that the
scheme is a fraud, pure and simple.
Spring is full of terrors to all

As the negroes of tha South ad
vance in public thinking they will
become a burdensome load to" the
Republican party, which party, by
the way, has always claimed, though
never demonstrated itself to be,
their best friend.
We aro now seeing tho outcrop
ping of this future trouble in the
demands they (tho negroes), are
making upon their party to allow
them representation in their dis
trict, state and national conventions,
and these, when they lieeome gen
eral, will constitute the fir' features
of a constantly inerew y burden,
until their demands will ...h the
point of elective cilice-!. titling,
which, of course, as wo well know,
has already occurred in districts in
which their race largely constitutes
the voting pf pulatioii, and to which
sections we do not now have special
reference. The negro's natural love
for ostentation finds no more tempt
ing a field for satisfaet'ou than in
tho political arena, and as education
refines his ideas and elevates his
a-pirations, lie will assuredly make
the demand tor political preferment
of the party his unrelenting support
has sustained. It is then that the
"race problem" will assume in the
eyes of tho Republican party a
political as well as a sociological
aspect.

There is a difference between medi
cines and medicines.
Those of to-day, as a rule, differ from
those of the pa -t iu many respects.
Fully as preat ia the difference be
tween Dr. Kinp's
ROYAL GEflHETUER
anl the ordinary medicines of to-day.
It ia unlike them in
THESE FIVE THINGS:
1. It does not taste likea medi
cine. It is as pleasant to take as
lemonade and makes a nicxt rvfreUiing
drink .
2. It never nauseates the most
delicate stc mach.
a. It doc not swap off one dis
ease for anot her. It does not set up
one form of disea.se tn order to relieve
another as is so often the ease.
4. It contains no alcohol or
)inra in any form and is always
harmless even when given to a bab
one day old.
fl. lit docs not patch almpty, it
cures. It reaches aa ncihinfr els
doe to the hidden sources of disease
in the blood and removes the cause. It
dixs this with an eae and po""er that
have never been equaled.
