Whx Mr. Tilden began to grow old he had ia bis bachelor's house hold a quiet little girl, the granddaughter of his sister. Tbe little girl was food of reading, and used to read to the old lawyer, whose eyes, no doubt, often rested upon ber benigoantly. Years ran by; tbe astute lawyer carefully planned a great gift to the public in tbe form of a library, and in the fullness of years was gathered to the majority. His will, like many others containing a grand scheme of benevolence, pro-red to be .but a piece of waste paper. The old msn-e enensnea lire assign was about to fail, when the quiet tittle girl, now grown to womanhood, stepped ia without demonstration, as usual, and bestowed 12,000,000 of her share of tbe Tilden estate upon the library as planned. It is a noble act, and the name of Laura Pelton Hassrd deserves to be memorable.

It-la reported that Got, Hill is to is succeed Senator Brice as Chairman of the Nstional Democratic Execu tlve Committee. . The .Journal has not favored the nomination of David Bennett fJill for President, ' because we be Ilevehst Mr. Cleveland rs the man forthe place, but we recognize the ability, integrity and patriotism, of the Governor, and are gratified at the report that he is to be at the head of tbe National Committee. With Hill at the helm New York wonld be safely Democratic, and an impetus would be given to the cam paten at large that would lead to victory in tbe national election. , Tbepubliohas come to regard Cleveland and Hill as rivals and antagonists, and the appearance of Hill in the management of a Cleve land campaign would arouse tbe enthusiasm of tbe party throughout the Union. . Bnt if Mr. Cleveland is not the candinate, the appointment of Gov ernor Hill to tbe cnairmanshi would inspire confidence and give eclat to the canvass. Tbe charge that Hill is a practi cal politician" is a feather in his cap. He is no novice in politics He knows tbe ropes, and! there is cot a spar or inch of canvass in the ship of State that he has not tested Politics is the science of govern ment, and he who prefers an igno ramus for pubiio station hazards tbe pubiio interests and endangers civil liberty. If Hill were a Twead or a Dadler, the objection would be well taken, but if he is a Madison, a Jefferson or a Tilden he is ihe kind of "practical politician" demanded ia every period, of our national his tory. BRAZIL. The people of tbe United States take a lively interest in Brazil. When a Utile while ago she joined the sisterhood of American Bepub- lles our hearts beat high with hope, and we anticipated tbe time she would grandly illustrate tbe strength and excellence of Bepob lican government. Bat, we are disappointed. Per haps the future may have in re serve the revelation of tbe adapt Dllity of ber people for self gov ernment, and her triumphant advance to the forefront of Repub lics. Fouseca bas fallen and Peixotto has assumed the Presidency. We trust that it may be possible fo the new executive to inspire confi dence and preserve the Republic, bus the apparent tendency is to wards the restoration of the Em pire. Indeed It is said that were it not tor tbe strong pnblio feeling against the husband of tbe crown princess an effort would be made to restore tbe monarchy and place Dom Pedro's daughter in her fatb 's place. No man can safely predict what will be tbe end of tbe Devolution. CLETELAKD. Anxiety is felt for the health 4 of Mrs. Cleveland. She has not folly recovered ber health, and such are the demands upon her strength in New York, as- to cause Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland to close their house in Madison Avenue, and .take up their residence at Lakewood in New Jersey. Mrs. Cleveland's mail is one of the largest that comes to any private individual in tbe city of New York. Tbere are innumerable requests for her photograph and autograph, and she is constantly asked to al low the dedication to her of many forthcoming books and musical compositions. Her aid in money matters is daily Bought by individ uals who have not even the claim of an acquaintanceship, and she is frequently importuned to be pres ent on occasions of different sorts hich it is impossible for her to attend. All this is of pubiio notoriety. but something of a secret is getting out to the annoyance of the good lady. In all communities there are noble spirits being crushed by the iron hand of adversity. Too proud to become applicants for charity tbey struggle on with a smile on the Hp and a dagger in the heart. These are the special objects of Mrs. Cleveland's angelic ministry, and the necessity of leaving the citv is. on this accounts, most painful to her. If Mr. Cleveland had done noth ing more than to bring to light such a character as Mrs. Cleveland he would be richly entitled to the gratitude of the country. Tbe pos session of such a wife is a strong argument for the selection of Mr. Cleveland. "The American people will, with oat regard to party, entertain the hoDe that she will soon be in the fall enjoyment of her usual good health, and that when she returns to town Mr. Cleveland will save her from farther annoyance by keeping a policeman at the door who will warn off all improper ap plicants, and by appointing a private secretary who will with draw from her mail all "appeals that will cause her unnecessary dis tress. The whole Democracy is anxious that when she enters the White HouseaMarcb 4, 1893, she shall be as strong as when she crossed its threshold to be in a few moments the bride of its illustrious loccapant." PROMISES, PLEDGES, CONTRACTS, AJTDmDATHS. fionl. Truth is the anchor of the It is an essentia element in every manly and womaoly character. It is the bond of Bociety and tho pillar of the State. Usage, statutes and constitutions, have created certain sfe guards of Truth, which are termed promises, pledges, contracts and oaths. They are the same In nature and differ only in degree. Of these, contracts and oaths are regarded as the most binding, but every right-minded and well-mean ing persoa regards a promise or a pledge as sacred. No promise, pledge, contract or oath is binding which abrogates a pre existing contract or obligation of equal or superior dignity. Upon every citizen tbere rests an obliga tion to use the elective franchise and everv rieht of citizenship, for the pubiio good, and no power cin absolve him from that duty. It is inherent in citizenship. We have heard of men saying; "I am a member of the Alliance and I have contracted to do cer tain things." "I have taken an oatb, and if I violate it I shall com mit perjury." What is a contract t It is an agreement, between two or more persons, with mutual obligations In secret orders, in which there are promises, pledges, contracts or oaths, it is usual to say to the can candidate for initiation, "Before proceeding farther it is necessary for you to take upon yourself solemn and binding obligation, which, however, will not interfere with your religions or political opinions, be they what they may This exact formula may not be always employed, but it is always understood that the claims of conn- try and of God are superior to those of any order or society. If any order or society prescribes a course of political action the contract is broken, and every man is absolved from bis allegiance to that order or society. But, if the contract was not broken it would be void be cause of the paramount claims of country. "Bat, I have taken an oath, and cannot commit perjury." Dear Brother, you are in no danger. It s not every man who reads a pres cribed form of obligation to an ap plicant for membership, who is com petent to administer an oath. We very much question your having taken an oath, and as for perjury it is not to be thought of. Perjury is the act or crime of willfully making a false oath when lawfully administered: or it is the crime committed when a lawful oath ' is administered in some judicial pro ceeding, to a person who swears willfully, absolutely and falsely to a matter material to the issue. Under no circumstances can perjury lie in the case supposed. The inexorable rule is, the les must yield to the greater. There is no way of avoiding it, and when any society or order adopts a reso lution or issues an edict against liberty of conscience, or ia deroga tion of the rights of citizenship, it is violative of the American Con stitution, and is nugatory and null and void. When Lord Chesterfield wrote to his son, "Your learning will not make you ambassador, but your manners may,'' he touched one of the secrets of success. The some what cumbrous code which we call etiquette has its roots in the fitness of things, aud the amenities that soften life, distidguish the gentle man from the savage. Tennyson sings: "Manners are not idle, but the fruit Of noble natnre and of loyal mind." Manners and clothes are not without relations, and are, to a certain extent, the outward, visible expression of the inner life. They have a reciprocal effect which merson so admirably expressed when be said that the poor emi grant in this country, in putting on for the first time in his life an absolutely new suit of clothes, puts on mucn more a seii-respecc De- fore unknown to him. You remember in 'Bret Harte's story, "The Luck of Roaring Gamp," that the whole moral atmosphere of the mining colony of men was revolu- tionized by the voluntary enfore- ment of the rule, that whoever held the baby, a waif, must put on a clean shirt and wash his hands. Morality lurks in soap and water more than we think. Far and Near. Th Chilians must at heart .be among the most bloodthirsty people iu the world, and although they have some time since succeeded in effeoting a revolution they seem determined to execute summary vengeance upon all of the Balmace dans they can find. The latest victim of their fury is Francisco C. Concha, Balmaceda's fate Minister of Jasice, who was "Shot dead on being discovered iu the attempt to make his way out of the country. The people of what bas Kaati' rpcrarrlAfl an r.tiA mnsr. rtnnor . vauve auu euugcb eueu ui me ouuiu American nations are evidently no more civilised than their neighbors.

Capt. E. W. Hill's Schooner-Lost. the two masted schooner Gilder- sleeve, bound from Savannah, Ga , to Wilmington, N. C, with a load of rice was lost on the 18ch inst., off the coast of Georgia. She enoountered heavy gales the first night ut which blew away all the oanvass exoept the foresail and tbe next day while drifting before the wind she sprung a leak and put up the distress signal and was in a sinking condition when tho Almadine reached her. The Gildersleeye belonged to Captain Elijah W. Hill of Elizabeth City who years ago resided in new Berne, tie, his wife and three children and other who were aboard were rescued by the passing English steamship Almedine Capt Winship and landed at Lambert point. There was lo insuranoe on the vessel and the loss is a heavy blow to Capt. Hill as it leaves bim virtually penniless. Ha had recently sold his home a nice house and lot in Elizbeth City with the view of mov- ng farther South and hod put the mon ey into this vessel. Capt. Hill is a nephew of Ctipfc. Ed Hill who moved from Naw Berne to Baltimore about 15 years ago and for whom fear has eettled into almost tbe certainty of his less, as ho left New York the first week in October on his schooner, the Mattie May, with a load of rock for government work at George town, S.

News CJines from the Pantego section of the killing of a monster bear that tipped the beam at 532 pounds. The huge fellow was killed by a tiled gun. He measured more than twelve inches between the eyes and his feet were 61 inches wide and 8i long. He was killed by a man by tbe name of Ed. Langly. Also last week a large cinnamen bear was killed by Wm. Jerkins, and a few days previous be caught in a trap a Dure white squirrel for which he has been offered S9 00. In this same noighborheod within one week during this season six bears were killed.

Simply, we suppose, because the town was soincor poratea ana ne did not presume to meddle with the work of our fathers Why not continue spelling Kinston. if we are going back to the origia of the name, Kingston. we expect to snow before we con clude that De Graffenriod himself commenced writiag tbe name of the town Newbern though beginning first with the compound word New Bern, tn hH "manuscript," afterwards he would vary, sometimes writing it one way tnen the otner. But why should he have varied at alls. Does it not imply an understanding about the- change. particularly when all the historians adopted it. Hawk's ic his history states Baton De Urafienried from Berna brought over the Palatines and Swisa and settled them at the confluence of Neuse and Trent rivers where he founded tho .town of New Berne, though throughout his history no one can find where in a single instance, he wrote it for himself in any other way than Newbern. We possess a number of letters written by Dr. Hawks which will be printed touching the subject as well as DnGraff enreid "a manuscript and other evidence cf the name of the town even before it was incorporated. Judge F. X. Martin in bis history of North Carolina writes it Newbern. So does Winterbotham when referring to our State and towns write -Newbern; and I -io does lossing and Williams; our greatest men in Newbern never varied from this way of writing it In other States the name is eimi . y .-.n :.-d Newbern, with perhaps out. m 1 exceptions. Tbe writer admits he was micia when he had the name New Berne, cut on tbe slab over the gateway of Cedar Grove cemetery. Ub has regretted it 'rom the day it waa fixed in its place The city government then authorized bim, a very you'n man, its Chief Ex ecutive effi. er to attend t j it and hence the result of his attention. It was cer thinly his duty to follow the act incorporating the town and should have given its incorporate name, Newbern. The Nuw Berne should be chiseled out and the r chiseled in in the word "tranef erred" on the 6lab which tbe stone cutter 0nu.1i.ted. As the fashion goe3 why not have it New Bernie. We imagine the French would so pronounce New Uerne. Unless- thia is done our people will assuredly call it Nubun. To proaouce the name New Berno among themselves, either nx, would create a smile-. Over 40 yers ago the ""Iutecdaat of Newbern" tried it thinking to di if c away from our ignorant fathers, who did not know how to spell tbe Ga&toDS, the Martins, the Slights, the Manlys, the Nashes, tbe ScanTys. the Cheaters, the Shepards, the Bryants, the Donnells, lbs Grahams and othars before mentioned. To givo the town a big name would help its growth if it proved hii ignorance.

The ladies ucques tionably would aid in making such leotures successful and profitable. Tbe amount thus received would go far towards securing the figure of Time for the gateway as originally intended, made of material similar to that of tbe hgore of Justioe on the f root of the court house ia Raleigh, N.

Thanksgiving in New Berne. Thanksgiving was quietly 6pent in the city. Some of the stores did cot opsn at all curing the day. Others kept open in the morning until near 11 o'clock and then closed far tbe day. Thanksgiving services were held at 11 a. in. in the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, also in the Church of Christ, and at the New Berne Collegiate Insti tute at 9 a. m.

The Kinston Free Press tells of the arrest in that city, oa Tuesday, tho 24th inst., of Geo. H Wytde, an employee of the Kinston Lumber Company in charge of their planing mills, for bigamy. After hia arrest he was lodged in iail until the next day and then taken to Greensboro (from which city the tele gram authorizing hia arrest came) for trial. Wylde has. been in Kinston holding the position referred to for several months. About a month ago he mar ried Misa Monroe, daughter of W. M Monroe, of Greensboro, and brought her to Kinston. He lived in Greensboro four years before moving to Kinston and was engaged to Misa Monroe two years. A notice of his marriage was sent to hi old home in England, and on its arrival the brother of hia wife there sent a cablegram -to know if the report of hia marrying in this country was true, and correspondence revealed the fact that he had a wife and eiz ohildren tiring in England, and that he had sent them money while he was at Greens boro. The evidence against him is strong and Conclusive. Mr. Monroe has taken his daughter back. She is spoken of as a fine-looking lady, and it ia stated that she has many friendsin Greensboro who - are greatly stirred up over the mean, infamona action of Wylde in deceiving her. Later Ad vioes state that near Uni versity station and while the -train was in motion, v Wylde sprang through the oar window and took to the woods. Legacy from England. AH have heard of individuals inherit ing fortunes from a distance, but it nearly always happeas that the lucky individual resides at such a distance from the one who reads or hears of the occurrence that it aeems almost like a pleasant story. Now, however, one of our citizens, m. U. mil, Esq.. falls heir to suoh luck. Mr. Hill is a naturalized citizen of the United States. He is a native of England, and he has just re ceived the notification that his step mother, Mrs. Jane Clemmons Hill, who died about a month ago ac her home in Plymouth, England, aged 73 years, has left him a legacy. Tbe amount is not definitely own but as there is no sur viving child except Mr. Hill the natural supposition is that tbe old lady left him all she bad and sne is believed to be worth considerable. Mr. Hill's many friends, while they feel for him sympathy for the severance of the ties of kinship, will rejoice with him in the good lock (in a certain sense) accompanied it.
