He knew that when he retired for the night ho had just 25 cents and , had fallen asleep while wondering where he could bor row money the next morning. He was highly elated over the discovery,, for, although he thought long and hard, he could not remember, how he had. come Into the possession of the money. After work that day he took a friend to the opera and later to supper. When he returned home about midnight, brother stepped into his room and said, 'uarry, did you pay that Dili for me today?" :j :;i. ki ; . v;": r.X , vv The young man was almost, dum founded.

I promised to let him have it by tomorrow." " - The young man was dozing, at the time, and that accounts for his failure to remember what his brother had said to him. He was kept busy borrowing from friends to make up the amount the next day, and be declares 'that hereafter his brother will have to pay his own bills.

The American troops, on hearing the firing, turned out in force before the boat could be looted and recaptured it.

Out in Trent township, on the road to White Hall, about 14 miles from Kins- ton, the Episcopalians some years ago under the rectorate of lie v. Israel 1 Hard ing, a much beloved clergyman in Kins ston during bis day, built a pretty coun try church. . Owing to an indebtedness, the Baid church was not dedicated before, but the .members having recently, liqui dated the same, the church was conse crated on .: Sunday morning at 10:80 o'clock by Bishop Watson, assisted by liev. T. M. N. George, of Newborn; itev. Dr. G. P. Sommerville, of Goldsboro;Rev. Thomas Bell, of Wilson, and the rector, Rev. Jno. H. Griffith, Jr. The services were very elaborate and full.. At the front door the wardens and vestrymen of the church met the bishop and the clergy, the bishop going before, the clergy following after, while the 1 ves try brought up the rear, the 24th Psalm was alternately repeated, the bishop one verse and the clergy another. After reaching the chancel and the clergy arranging themselves, Col. N. B. V hitneld handed the instruments or do nation to the rector, who in turn - pre sented them to the bishop, who placed them upon the altar. At this point Col. Whitfield read the request for consecra tion, and the bishop then dedicated the edifice to the honor of God's great name, separating it henceforth from all unhal lowed, ordinary and common use. Morn ing prayer, confirmation, sermon by the RevT. M. N. George, of Newborn, aud the celebration of the holy communion followed. The church was beautifully decorated with ' white hangings, ever greens and flowers, while the muBic was the best ever beard at Holy Innocents The congregation completely taxed the' capacity of the church, while many were unable to get in. The sermon was masterly effort and one calculated to deepen the regard and respect for a house Bet apart to the honor of God s name and worship. A Supreme Court Jest. ' An eminent lawyer, one of the most eminent In the United States, was In the midst of an argument In defense of the patent rights of his client to a newfangled collar button that was be ing unlawfully . manufactured by the people on the other side of the case. The distinguished counsel was describ ing the patent referred to and its many advantages' when Justice Shlras inter rupted him and in a most serious man ner observed: :;.:.' . ' 'I should like to ask the learned coun sel if his client manufactures a collar button that won't roll under the bed." Of course the court was shocked. Some young people In the seats re served for spectators tittered, and the marshal, rapping on his desk with his gavel, roared, -"Silence in this honora ble court!" The eminent counsel main tained his gravity, although his soul must have been deeply stirred, and had presence of mind enough to turn the Incident to his own advantage, saying with emphasis: 'l have the honor to Inform the court that the collar button manufactured by my client is unique In that as well as' In other respects, but my client would not be bo selfish as to patent so impor tant a benefit to mankind." Chicago Becord. .:"" :.--: : ; Wrestle With Thla Problem. Here la a little genealogical problem which perhaps some of our readers can solve. A man writes to the Liverpool Post, saying: "I have, like the rest of human beings, two parents.,. They In turn had each two. These four grand parents' had each two, and so on. Now, if we take on an average four genera tions to a century S3 generations have passed away since the time of William the Conqueror, and by the simple proc ess of multiplying two by Itself 33 times I find that at the date of the Nor man conquest I must have had 8.5S9, 034,582 ancestors of that generation. But this Is eight or nine times the to tal population of the globe at the pres ent day and must be fully 30 or 40 times the total number of human be ings living In the eleventh century, so that there must be a fallacy In my cal culation somewhere.

' -' We have said very little about the sen ator-ship, because we deem it unwise to call the attention of the people to this matter instead of working against the Radical party, and we thought so well of all the candidates that, while we looked upon Simmons as the logical successor of Butler, we did not want to make war fare upon either of the others. But our estimation of Mr. Carr has been very much lowered by the contemptible and mean methods he and his friends have employed to further his interests. The Morgan ton tlerald last week came to ns with a supplement that is a dirty per sonal attack upon Mr. Simmons. Carr's friends make a great ado about Senator Vance s opposition to Simmons when he was appointed collector of the eastern district. Senator Vance was a great man, but he was subject to all the infirm ities common to ns all. He made mis takes. We have not forgotten that at the very time be was fighting Simmons he was moving heaven and earth to have the contemptible Ki Gudger appointed to the same position in the western district. If Carr and his supporters bad been de cent about their canvass Vance's name would never have been dragged into this matter. Porto Rlcans Can't Vote. New York. Oct. 29. The aprrfication of Frank J.
