It Is an Insult to Them to Dub Negro-Loving, Butler as "Mary Ann." Lumberton Robetonlan. A good Democratic lady who heard the great speech of Bob Glenn yesterday said she liked all of it but his allusion to Senator Butler as "Mary Ann." She said that if an opportunity offered she would tell Mr. Glenn that the ladies re eentea wis pacing -oiirawsr m. w iiun females. The good women of North Car- J . 1 1 . . . f Jl . A. olinahaveno more love for him than have the men. and the calling of him V.S 4.V. "Mary Ann" by speakers and writers is a reflection upon tbe ladies, who ; are as loyal and devoted to the State and . the cause of white supremacy as the men. It sounds unpleasant to female ears to hear themselves spoken of in highest terms of praise (as vhey deserve) and in almost the next breath to have the most detestable character in North Carolina referred to as Mary Ann. The Robeson ian is sure that Mr. Glenn and other speakers mean no disrespect to the ladies and believes they had never thought of the matter in the way alluded to above LoKevltr of Whales. Some light was thrown upon the sub-' Ject of tbe vitality of whales by finding one of these animals la Bering sea lnl witn a "toggie i uarpoon neaa m Its body bearing the mark of the Amer - icarr whaler Montezuma. Tnat vessel was engaged ln whalins In Bering sc about ten years, but not . later . than , 1854.'. She was afterward sold to the government and was sunk in Charles ton harbor during the civil war to serve as an obstruction. Hence It is estimat ed tho whale must have carried the harpoon not less than 30 years. In connection with this fact William H. Dall gives an account In The Na tional Geographic Magazine of a dis cussion with Captain E. P. Herendeen of the United States National museum of cases of whales that have been sup posed to have1 made their way from Greenland waters . to Bering strait and to have been Identified by the harpoons they carried. While It Is very likely that the., whale really makes the pas sage an , uncertainty - must always be allowed, ', for ships were often chang ing ownership, and their tools were sold and put on board of other vessels, and harpoon irons were sometimes giv en or traded to Eskimos. It therefore becomes possible that the animal was struck with a secondhand Iron. Popu lar Science. .

During one Jam In my scctlou I saw a lot of logs plunge tinder the edge of the blockade, and few seconds later they pushed their way lip through the very middle of the pack, tossing timbers as big around an a man's waist Into the air like so many toothpicks. The noise "they made ns tbey drove through the mass was simply deafening. It sound ed as if the solid earth was, being torn up by its foundations.

News and Observer: Tom Jones, the negro who is condemned to hang here on August 31, for kilting his paramour and her daughter nnd then burning the house with the dead bodies and four live children in it, seems never to have real ized his condition. He sits in hiV cell, silent but in apparently pleasant humor. tie seldom speaks unless spoken to. and then usually he smiles in an idiotic sort of way.

Do the negroes embar rass them by their presence, by making their meetings look more like negro than white men's meetingB and thus making respectable Populists feel out of place? Cyrus Thompson and tbe rest of them are making speeches for tbe necro. ao- pealing to the negroes and to white vot ers against tbe effort to establish and perpetuate white supremacy in North Carolina, and yet they try to keep the negro away from their meetings, to fool the white Populist who object to fra ternizing with the negro. AU tbe time these sneaks are doinir this Marion Butler has been fusing with the negroes, and urging his followers to fuse with them, to secure tbe election of men to tbe legislature who will vote to re turn him to the senate and give him an other 30,000 pull.
