THE POLITICAL SITUATION, STATE A5D FEDERAL. If we look at national affairs we find tbe government approach ing consolidation under Republi can administration. There have been more violations of organic law, more disregard for the rights of -the States and the liberties of the people, daring tbe existence of the present Congress, than there have been in any similar period in the history of tbe country. It we turn our eyes to the State, we see a virtuous and industrious people rising superior to adverse fortune and going on to prosperity and happiness nnder tbe benign influences of Democracy. Tbe problem of statesmanship, in North Carolina is, "How can the current of national affairs be changed so as to restore the land marks established by the fathers of the republic, and Democracy be perpetuated in the old North State 1 The present condition of affairs at Washington is tbe result of sue cessful personal ambition. It is the individual triumphing over the masses, it is toe republic dragged at the chariot wheels of a despot. The remedy is In tbe election of a new Congress, one possessing a loftier manhood and purer patriot Ism. Tbe present Congress was pur chased by Quay and his confede rates, and banded over to Reed branded and marked. Tbat any thing noble should be expected of it would be a violation of the teach ings of history and the lessons of philosophy. The whole country is in revolt against this condition of affairs, and patriots everywhere are await ing the opportunity to sweep tbe party, that has wrought such dire ful evil, from the face of tbe eartb. It will be done, and North Caro lina must participate in tbe glory of the achievement. In tbe State tbe skies are bright and brightening. Democratic to the core, no power is surperior to the will oT the people. AU things seem propitious. The husbandman rejoices in tbe fruits ot his labors, and anticipates tbe return of days of prosperity, social enjoyment and domestio happieess. To continue this condition of affairs the State mast not only re main Democratic, but it must be administered by wise men jealous of tbe honor of tbe State and de voted to tbe beet interests of tbe people. The nominating conventions that are soon to assemble have grave responsibilities resting upon tbem wbieh may not be avoided. Give us judges who are learned in the law, wise in its administra tion, and who are unchallenged and honorable in all the relations of Hie. Giro nsCongressmen Bkllled in the most difficult of all soiences,tbe science of government, and whose lives present them to tbe world as exemplars of every manly virtue. Let every candidate be a worthy representative of bis people, posses sing integrity of character, parity of person and adaptability to the position for which he is named, and the future alone can reveal the blessings that are in store for ua and oar children. Onslow County Items. Tbe weather is very fine, crops are good, and tbe best gardens we bave seen in ten years. We have ripe tomatoes, onions as large as yonr two fists, beats 1& ft. long, and all other vegetable growing In garden or field. I only met) lion these to say that we peo ple here, could furnish more and larger track vegetables, and sooner too, than you can around New Berue, but we have no transporta tion Ironi her and you have. 1 said last week our candidates were many in this county, yes they are very many. I see notices recom mending some of these as "the ones etc." Our opinion is small In matter, but it is this, that Tom Oilman is far ahead of any one in our county for the Senate, and the Jones county people are of our opinion too, notwithstanding some few notices we bave seen to tbe contrary, and for sheriff, after Elijah Murrill leaves, J. W. Spicer is tbe next man for tbe place and you will see it if you live; for treas urer W. N. Marine, the present incumbent if be wants it, J. F. Giles for Register Deeds il he wants it, and any body that knows '.Tabf ttnnwa that hA itrA want , - - it, and knows also, that it would almost kill him if be was to get beaten this year, but we are going to try our level best to beat him, because we know we can attend to the office as well as Jake can, and others as well as us, so look out brother Jacob, one of the 18 candi dates will give you a showing just a friendly set to. Tbe lower house candidate 1 am not posted on, but S. W. Venters and H. & King are tbe most prom inent spoken of now. C. W. McClammy for Congress is Onslow's choice. McClammy is a farmer, we want some farmers in our Con gress, and while we have no objec tion to Mr. Acock or some other good man, we say lets have Mc Clammy again. We have one good man in our county who would make a good Representative in Congress, and when we turn McClammy out, lets put in Dr. Cyrus Thompson of Onslow county. "Cyrus" is a little man bat he can make a loud noise and don't vou forget it. We have a new post master now, James Loughlin is the lucky man. Jones County Items.

Oilman Araln. Editor Joubnax, : Being a careful reader of your valuable paper, I have observed tbat In re gard to senatorial matters in this, the 9th district there is a "Wild Goose77 in Onslow county and her mate in Polloksville and county of Jones. Owing to the lateness of the season and the distance the afore said goose and her mate is apart, I am of the opinion that their chances of a brood in 1890 are very remote, especially when viewed in connection with the additional fact that Onslow county is the prospect ing hatcaing place. Onslow climate and soil at no time within the memory of the oldest inhabitant has ever been favorable to tbe propagation of this particular kind of gosling. Tls said that the cack ling of geese saved Rome. Now it remains to be seen Whether or not in the 9th senatorial district of North Carolina, in the year 1890, the cackling of geese can perform tbe feat of resurrection. Laying aside our levity and speaking seriously to the Democ racy of our district, we bring for-1 ward tbe name of T. E. Oilman, of Onslow county, as tbe man around whom the Democracy of the dis trict can rally. He is able, true and tried, and stands in the line of promotion, having already repre sen ted Onslow county in tbe Legis lature of 1889. So well was bis duty performed as Onslow's repre sentative tbat the Farmers' Al liance of the county passed resolu tions of thanks and praised Mr. Oilman for the able and taitbful discharge of his duty. Take into consideration bis ability and in tegrity and the high estimation in which he is held by tbe people of Onslow and let's put the senatorial banner in his hands. Nominate Oilman and thereby assist us in wheeling Jones county into the line of the Dsmoeratio column. Mobs Anon. Jones County, June 10, 1890. No Gilmaii in "Oar.''

Please permit us to inform "Jackson" that we don't want any more Gil man in "ourn.'' He won't do. He has been "weighed in the balances and found wanting." Give us a man that will spend more of bis time at tbe capital and less at New Berne, Norfolk and ether places. Onslow. June 9tb, 1890. A CarS.

A Der Hunt in Hjde County. identity will be known to but few' Editor Journal: Hyde Park, ! and those few let ui hope, will i in Hyde county, is 1 anions for the 1 sympathise with us in our misfor deer to be fonod there, reports ofituue, and not upbraind ua for not the fine sport to be had, and hunters knowing a wild deer from a tame returning almost every week witn four or five tine ones. Ou a vit sometime ago to that land ot corn and mosquitoes we were induced to try our luck. Late one Friday afternoon we wended our way to the home of Joe Wetherlaud's, the champion deer hunter of all t liat region. We received a cordial welcome and we were toii to mate ourselves at home. A sumptuous supper of1 stewed and baked venison was soon ' prepared. Marvelous deer hunting stories and other thrilling adven tures were told nntil we reminded crnr host that we will have to lie up before day and that we had better retire. After an eaily breakfast wo be gan to make preparations for the day's hunt. Joe swung a hunter's horn around our neck and said : "When you shoot one down you must blow this horn." We had to confess our inability to perform this task, but when informed that we must place the little end of the born at the corner ot our mouth in stead of the center, we succeeded tolerably well for a new beginner. He then armed us with a genuine Joseph Roger's knife as sharp as a razor. "What is this for ?" we asked. "We always cut their throats," said Joe, "as soon as we shoot them down to let the blood run out." Tho earnest and de liberate manner in which he snoke ! amazed us, and the thought of cat ting a deer's throat, when we had never even seen a wild one, some wha', upset our nerves. Early after sunrise of a bright and balmy d:y, we found ourselves upon the famous limiting gronnd. The dogs, w. -II trained and lusty fellows, wert blown up and seemed to know what was expected of tbem, and anxious lor the chase. Joe, casting an eve to windward, sagely observed, ''The wind is blowing iu the wrong direction this morning and we will have to cross the canal. A titer depends more npou his :.o.-e than he does his eyes." "But how are hp going to cross 7" we asked. "We :ee no boat. bridge or anvthvthinLr ol tbe kind." "Never mind, get you acros all said Joe, "I'll right." At his command, we billowed him to the brink of the stit-am, when, taking ua upon bis back, our arms "about his neck, and our legs encircling bis waist and soppoittd by his brawny arms, he landed us sale and dry on the opposite shore, lie then recrossed aud brought over the guns, amTuiuiitiou, etc., and we were in the ujideii of the home ol the game we sought. A 'stand" wu selected for us upon a little kuoll, among some stately pines, and overlooking a large scope of nndergrowth or prairie land, with now and then a sorubby tree We had observed, in going up the bank, small hog like paths leading to tho canal. "The deer will cross at one of these paths," said Joe. "If yon see him making for tho lower one, slip along nnder the bashes, and shoot him aa he crosses. The dogs will probably run out of your hear ing, but keep a watch out, the deer will come back. I've killed over two thousand and know something of their habits. When you hear the dogs open yon may be sure it is a deer, they never run anything else. They will have one up in twenty minutes." These were onr leader's sporting words. With this elating assurance, he and his trusty bounds were soon lost from eight in the tall prairie grass. It was not long after they disappeared before we heard the dogs yelping as if in fall pursuit. We crouched behind a pine and strained our eyes in tbe direction ol the sound, expecting every moment to see a magnificent stag, bearing a noble attire of horns, leaping over the bushes in front of us, when to our dismay we heard a gun fire. We felt sure that our companion had floored bis game, and that oar prospects of getting a shot were gone. We noticed, however, that he did not blow his horn, and we were encouraged to hope that be had missed bis matk and that it would be our turn next. The steady yelping of the dogs continued and it was evident that they were rapidly approaching us. While intently gazing off in the distance, we were Btartled by the sudden appearance of a beautiful doe which had leaped out of the undergrowth in ten paces of us. Em bosomed by the foliage we had not observed its approach. The figure of the doe was light, fairy like and graceful and so meek, innocent and lamblike did it appear, our first impression was tbat it must be a tame one coming to us for protec tion against its cruel pursuers and we did not have the heart to tire upon it. In a second, we were convinced of our mistake, for as soon as the deer got a glimpse of us, it shied off, at full speed, iu au opposite direction. In a flurry of excite ment we raised our gun and with deadly aim us we thought tired. We had shot it in the midst ot a clump of gall berry bushes and so sure of our gamo were we that remembering Joe's instructions we ran our hand iu our pocket for the jack knife to cut it's throat, while in this act we observed the deer fifty yards away and again leveling our gnu with some feeling of malice aforethought and blood curdling revenge we took deliberate aim and our gun snapped. Kind reader, did you ever hook a large plamp fish, and have it tumble off just as you drew it to tbe Bide of the boat ! Did you ever arrive at a depot just iu time to see the train you wished to take speed ing off down the railroad track ? We felt blank and forlorn, and the following lines of some old poet flitted through our bewildered brain. '"Disappointment is my lot Oh ! that 1 c ould have parsed aud be forgot." Before we could recap oar gun. the dogs came bounding upou the trail, the deer had leaped the canal, the dogs close behind, and were soon out of our hearing making lor the sluggish waters of Puugo river. In a short time we saw Joe ap proachmg with something swung acro-s nis broad shoulders. It proved to be a half grown buck. He said he did not blow his horn as the one he shot was not the one the dogs were trailing. They would have left the trail and gone to him. Thus ended our first deer hunt. We had such miserable luck we are loathe to relate it, but we are I consoled by the reflection that our one. It out. W. Joyner. JLNNY I. If 1) AMXililSl. 1 Imvr soiru'wherc a little ballad that tdls a pretty story . of the famous songstress. Jenny Liml. Many days, months and years have quite obliterated the ' verses from my memory, leaving only the skeleton of the story to flutter in my brain like an; autumn leaf which the summer's ! winds had riddled and robbed of j its green. But 1 shall try to; repair the injured leaf with the ! poor thread of my simple prose. :: Somewhere in the forties Jenny j Lind and Grisi were singing at different places in London, j Those who went into eestaeies over (irisi's "Norma" wore next evening enraptured with Lind's "Casta Diva." Great was the rivalry between them. Finally yuccn Victoria, deem ing it a shame that two such gifted women should be sepa rated by a mean, unworthy ; jealousy. requested buth to appear at a court concei t. f course both came. The Qunm I warmly welcomed them both ' together for the first time. She : gave the signal for the concert 'to begin. Jenny Lind was the youngest, and it was arranged 1 that she should singfirst. With perfect confidence in her powers she stepped forward to begin. GlaneiDg at Grisi she saw the Southern woman's malignant gaze fastened upon her. The i tierce look almost paralyzed In i. Her courage left her. her vo-.ee trembled, everything g'rew 'black before her. and she almost fell. I'.y the greate-; jexertion of her will, however, I she managed to finish her aria A painful silence followed, us j conclusion a silence that toid j her of her failure. She caught a triumphant expression on ( ri -i's : face. Despite her dazed eoiuiiti"ii she quickly realized that failure meant, los't oTorv. disappointed hope. ! ness, the destruction of happi- grief and mortification tu her family and to her friends, a soft voice thai come from heaven Suddenly seemed to whispered to her: vour old songs in Sing one of I vour native! language." She caught at it liwf mil nsnirat ion. The acroin - panist was striking his linal chords. She stepped up to him, asked him 'to rise, and took the vacant seat. Softly her white fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude; thenr she saug. It was a little prayer which she had loved as a child: it belonged to her childhood's repertoire. She hadn't sung it for years. As she sang she was no "longer in the presence of royalty, but singing to her friends in her father-land. No one present understood one word of the "prayer."' Softly at lirst tho plaintive notes floated on the air, swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrillinsr. plaintive "prayer the song died away and ended in a soft sob. Again there was silence the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spell bound. Jenny Lind lifted at last her sweet blue eyes to look into the scornful face that had so disconcerted her at first There was no fierce expression now; instead, a teardrop glis tened on the long black lashes After a moment, with the impulsiveness of a child of the tropics, Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed her arm about her and kissed her warmlv. utterly regardless of the admiring audience.

"Then she tuned up and began to cry. 'Rose says I, 'if yon marry Sam show, that's you Kan't go to the certain; Out it you marry me I'll take you." She studied a wiile, and says, says she, "An let me stay to the concert after the big show's over ?" "Yes." "An' let me look at the monkeys all I want to ?" "T' be sho'." "An' won't pnll an' haul me aronn' when I get interested T" "No, sw'ar I won't." "An' when the show's over will you let me look at the monkeys again ?" "Yes." "Natb," said she pnttin' her hand mighty lovin'ly on my arm, "I'm yourn." Then I jumped up, popped my heels together, an' in less'n half hour we cas dun mar ried an' a lookin' at the monkeys That's the way I won that jewel, Governor " Arkansaw Traveler The Privilege of Amendment. No religion equals Christianity iu the distinctness with which it affirms man's separability from his sin. It treats sin as accidental to him through the fall. Tho parable of the prodigal son assures us that the worst tinners may turn trom their worst sins; that they may turn, sure of the love of God; and that as they turn, God will come forth to greet them. Jesus came into world teaching that evil wasno necessary or eternal part of our being, and that even the most de graded may be set free from the guilt, the stain, the power of their sins. Evil doing is the fixed destiny of no man. No lite is beyond amendment; no character is be- vond recovery. There lie open be fore every man possibilities of rising to the noblest and the best, and sharing in the choicest bless ings Goa nas to oestow. ic was not to the exceptionally good, nor to the exceptionally .honorable, Christ taught these things, or offered llis greatest gifts. To the woman of Samaria the water of life was free. All who felt they were not what they ought to be were urged to begin their lives anew and till their emptiness out of Christ's fnllnass. The privilege of amend ment was thrown open to all. Christ is never a nobler prophet than when He is inspiring men to begin and continue the struggle aiter gooa. He preached no gospel of despair, bnt one of hope ot brighter and better days for all, whatever the present darkness and misery of their hearts. Many may be going to perdition, but there is no neces sity one should go. John Baird. Too Much Screaming. Au English tourist was asked the other day in what respect, if anv. tne ioeiisn auu Ainwicau games of lawn tennis differ. "I should express it in this way," he replied, "In England you go to see a eame ot tennis in this country vou eo to bear it. The element of noise is an improtant feature in all your games; and strange to say, the noise is relatively greater in games which women take part. I do not say this in criticism, but simply as a statement of fact. Nothing amazes an Englishman more than the way in which Ameri can women of the better classes will screech and scream on the slightest provoeation."-New York Tribune. THE VISIT 07 LLEWELLYN. A WLLSII LECtMl, THOMAS IlfXX KNoI.ISII. The English peasant, with simple frank ness, speaks of "the fairies :" but those of Keltic origin, treat such supernatural beiDgs with more respect. The Irish style them Daoine Maith "the good people," and the Welsh, y Tyluyth Teg "the fair folk." Tho Welsh fairies dill'er from those of the Irish, and are in greater variety. At times, they array themselves gorgeously and admit mortals to their revels, but the man who gets into the charmed circle finds it dillicult to escape, unless he be expelled by some fault, as m the legend, which is didactic as well as fantastic, and teaches i n obvious lesson. Llewellyn stood on J'i ennisaeh b pon a summer day, And raised his eyes to I oenuifuw r, That mountain haie and gray; And there upon the summit saw. Within the noonday light, Dancing like spattering water-chops, Some pigmy ereat fires bright "Y Tylwyth Teg ! '' he murmured low, Astounded at the siht.

Though they, with tiny feet, Moved in the windings of the dance As though to measured beat. Soon losing all the hesitance That Idled his heart at lirst, lie stepped within the ring, and I" '. What music on him burst The harmony of fairy harps That thrilled his spirit through; While round him crowded cagerlv The joyous elliu crew. Some clad in robes of linen white.

His pigmy subjects o'er; Nor none of these were thn-o h et six, While he was over ."our; And well both height and kindly stale The gentle monarch bore. "Llewellyn, free thou ait," lie said, "To roum our realm at will; With every joy our vassals know Thy every sense to thrill. One thing alone forbidden. Mark ! The fountain in yon square, Which throws aloft its giuterine; jet That breaks tu gems iu air, Drink uot from that: thrust not thy baud AV'i'.hiu che water there." Naught caied Llewellyn for such drink, While fur his thiist they brought The rarest wiues in golden cups, With curious work enwrought. What was a water draught to him Who had such precious wine? Who longa for coarse and homely fare When fed on dainties line'.' Who sighs for berries wild, amid The orange, fig and pine? Served by the fairesa demoiselles Alive at beck and nod, Accompanied by all respect Whatever path he trod, Llewellyn soon forgot his home, The humble cot which lay Down in the peaceful Pembroke dell That seemed so far away Its slated roof, its casements low. Its rough walls mossed and gray. His bounding goats, his lowing kine W hy. what were fchese to him? His wife, and children at their play A something vague and dim, A mist that spread before his eyes Below the enchanted heights; And so he passed the pleasant days, And slept refreshing nights, To wake when rose each morning sun, Aud bask in fresh delights. At last the pleasure wearied him; He sighed fur something more Men thus may tire of happiness When once its flush is o'er, lie lingered at the fountaiu side, And watched theie, day by day. The many-colored fishes that Within the basin lay, Or darted hither and thither in Their wild and frolic play. At last a raging thirst he felt If ho could only drink A little of the limpid draught There at tbe basin's brink ! His hand within the water clear He thrust with eager haste ; The fishe3 vanished from his sight; The elves his arm enlaced With theirs and strove to draw it back, And pleaded not to taste. Too strong his thirst! Up only plunged ills nana tne lurtner in, And raised it to his lips. Arose A wild and eldritch din. He heeded not the uproar wild ; The phantoms strange and weird Tbat flitted near, and shrieked and cried, lie neitner saw nor leareel ; He drank. Elves, fouutaio, palace, all Forever disappeared. On Frennisach and Frennifawr The sun again grew bright; Llewellyn, bent to earth with age. Descended from the height; lie sougnt nis Home; uie ppot was changed, Another look it bore; Gone was his d welling-place, whose perch Green vines bad clambered o'er; Aud there a stately mansion stood, Llewellyn's cot no moie. lie rapped. A lackey came. He asked: "Llewellyn's cot -tood here'.''' "Why, yes," the fo itm.m said, "it did, 15 ;i t not for many a year. Llewellyn, fifty years ao, I've heard old people tell.

There are many men appa rently in their right minds, who without either preparation or capital, plunge into the whirl of business to be ven' often picked up in the whirlwind created by competition and dashed against the rocks of bankruptcy. Ambi tion to be or do something, while most essential as a motive power, is but one of the elements neces sary: there are others of still greater import says a. contem porary. In the first place, capital i in order to fortify you against disastrous results from the effect1 of competition, in these davs is imperatively necessary. Insuf ficiency of this clement has un doubtedly been one of the most fruitful causes of failure. To him, therefore, who would be-1 come a merchant, thrift and economy are, provided he has to depehd upon his own efforts for obtaining capital, indispensable" The process may he slow, but all "All things come lo him who" knows how to wait' and it may he added knows how to work. "The secret of sncces." says Lord Beaconsfield "is constancy of purpose." Have this axiom as your motto and success will eventually crown our efforts. Equally important with capital is knowledge of tho business you undertake. To obtain this it is necessary to choose the branch of trade you consider yourself best adapted for, and other things being favorable, follow its pathways, no matter how intricate and rough they may he. This is the only road to success: to be jack of all trades is to he master of none. Other qualifications necessary are industry, firmness, good judgment of human nature, and a genial and affable disposition. To some these characteristics may be more or loss foreign; but there is no one of them but may with a little effort be acouired.

WILLINU TO LET IT DSOTV An old negro was brought up on a charge of stealing, and tried in a Superior Court during Judge Wight's time. The case was presented to the court by a prominent lawyer, the solicitor and the uegro was ordered to stand up. "Have you a lawyer:"' asked the court. "Navv, sah." "Are you ible to employ one?', "Maw, sah." "Do you want a lawyer to defend your case?" 'Not particular, sah." "Well' what do you propose to do about the case?"
