Senator Vance writes The Poet that he did write and deliver a lecture on "The Scattered Nation" years ago, as detailed in these col- ums a short time since, but the in teresting incidents with which the account was garnished were inven ted for the occasion.

If, as the dispatches this morn ing indicate, the brokers are to draw out of the Treasury 150,000, 000 of gold with whioh to bay the 150,000,000 of new bonds, will not Mr. Carlisle, like the sow which crawled through the hollow log, come out on the same side of the fence he went in on! Char, Obser ver. In strikiag out ail provision for a bounty on native sugar, the House did what was entirely right. The whole system of bounties is mischievous and repugnant to American principles.

Times. , Secretary Carlisle appeared be fore the House Judiciary Commit tee and gave his views as to the law on the subject of issuing bonds. He was averse to issuing the bonds but tbooght tbe condition of the treasury required it. The proceeds of the sales of bonds, he says, can be used for the general expenses of the Government and are not necessarily to be confined to buil ding up the reserve. . Tn her srjeeoh before tbe Pileri Mothers the Bev. Anna 8baw said: UI never use the word obey In the marriage ceremony.

For the' entire country Brad street's places the number at. 800, 000, Mr. Edward Atkinson, at nit over 1,100, wu. ; ana air. . w. m. Grosvenor, at 1,200,000. The cities have tbe larger part of these; but their number is steadily decreas- Inz. and as spring comes there will be an increasing demand on farms for labor. One good result of hard times is to check the congestion of population in cities by driving the unemployed to seek work in the country. Phil. Press. 'The Savannah Hews, In noting the - proposed bond issu9, says; "The necessity for the bond issue is generally recognized. The money will not be wasted. It Is needed to protect the credit of the govern ment. Those who are proposing to question-in. thejoourts the secre tary's authority cannot possibility know as much about the condition of the treasury and the necessity for issuing bonds as the secretary does, nor are they as well posted in respect to the authority by which he proposes to issue them as he Is. .I3 is my; candid opinion," re marked an eastern Democrat some dsvs S20. "that Mr. Cleveland is very rapidly solidifying the Dem ocratic party." When asked to explain himself (a very natural reqneet) he said: "If he continues the policy to which be has hereto fore adhered the party will bodily walk out from under him and carry with It all of -its adherents leaving nothing but a little anti-snapper debris. Wall street and a few Mugwumpocrats Ihe party will then, proceed to nominate a solid, unswerving Dem ocrat and win the country with him on the Chicago platform." WHAT NEXT. The Corbett-Mitchell fight over, What next! In this quarter of the globe the next publio event is the New Berne Fair. It will -be quite a different affair from the Jacksonville engage ment, it will be an exhibition of the higher elements of ever advan cing civilization, and an incentive to higher attainments in science and art, and the fuller develop ment of our commercial agricul tural and mechanical resour ces. There will be maay visitors to the fair, and the hospitality of a whole-souled and generous people will be taxed to the uttermest, but New Berne will as ever, be eqnal to the demand. One of the greatest pleasures in cident to the occasion, will be the meeting of friends long separated. From all quarters comes informa tion that old New Bernlans are coming; and to none of the vast throng that will be assembled will the exhibition give more pleaanre than to "the exiles coming borne." It is proposed to have, at some time during the fair, a meeting of native New Bernians, especially of those who have been abroad, at which experiences will be given; ad we venture the assertion that verv one of them will sav "there is no place like home," the home of;their childhood. THE TARIFF AND THE IXCOMK TX For a time ii h be-n a ques tion whether an Ii come Tjx should be imposed by tbe vnat Congress, and if so, should it lit in a s p iniTt bill or be its iuc-r; 1 in the Wilson bill. A L)e.i, o. iic ouncas has decided in favor ot th latter coarse. A vote is to he taken oq the Wiisou bill next Thursday and the inteivieniog days will wax ho: in farious debate. It ia contended by many th it the income tax will defeat the bill, while perhaps an eqal num ber believe that it will pass despite all opposition. There are many argaments against an Income Tax. It is especially in sisted that it wonld be class legis lation and unconstitutional. The Washington Post, an influ ential paper of great ability and usnal fairness, insists with much plausibility, that the passage of an income tax would be "Legislation against prosperity." It says "the measure is a blow aimed by the ir responsible and the improvident at tbe substantial, the thrifty and the successful." The Post is simply scanning the surface What is the justification ior tara. tion of any kind, bat tbat it is tbe means employed for raising a rev en no to defray the expenses of government! Every citizen is in debted to tbe Government for (be protection it gives bim, and this indebtedness is, or ought to be, i.n proportion to his ability to pay and the benefits he receives. To say tbat a millionaire is to e'ijoy all tbe blessings of a prosperous business in Government bonds and securi ties and contribute nothing to sup port of tbe Government, is to come in confiio' with the reciprocal rela tions existing between the ci izen and the Government. It is absurd to deny the manifest obligations of the citizen to contribute to the sup port of the Gouernment. Bat, they tell m tbit an Iooome Tax ia unconstitutional. Bgiht here there is a palpable fraud being at tempted. It is. said that its uncon stitutionality was shown in the Tiideo case. Not at all. Mr Tilden never, appealed to the courts. He had a large income; he objected to tne tax and paid it under protest The position, gravely assumed by some, that the Democratic party committed itself in opposition to kin Income Tax by its support of Tilden is a lame and impotent con clusion utterly unworthy of respect ful consideration. The burdens of Government have too long rested upon tbe shoulders of the laboring people; and the sooner capital is made to bear Its propartionate share the better it will he for the country. We trust that tbe bill will pasBjwitbont'annec- eesary delay. TWO KILLFJ) IN A WRECK. Louis Bowman, of Richmond, and Rer. Mr. Shaw, of Fnlton, Miss. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 26.

No information had reached the State Department, according to the officials there, of the reported ac tion of Mr. Smythe, tbe United States Minister to Hayti, in send ing the Haytien President an offi cial document telling him how the black republic should be conducted. Mr. Smythe's recall, it is intima- mated, will be a matter of quick accomplishment if tbe report should prove true. When Mr. smythe was appoint ed Minister be was given instruc tions to begin negotiations for the acquirement of St. Nicholas Mole as a coaling station for United States naval vessels, but it is said that a newspaper publication at the time caused the abandonment of the iiea for tbe time being, and the State Department is anxious to hear whether the report of Mr. Smythe's alleged interferance in Hytien affairs be trne, believing that if it is the acquirement of tbe mole is something for the very re mote fata re. Mr. Smythe is the first white man ever seLt to Hay ti as United States Minister. He was tbe edi' tor of the Headligfit a weekly newspaper published at Graham, va. He is one of the tew Amer ican diplomatic officers who wears a uniform at diploma ic functions. Congressman Kaldwin Hung in Effigr. Dimrrn, Minn., Jin. 26.

That life insurai.ee is ulessiug thousands can testify who are now enj ying the benefits reaped through the fortthougb of a dear one. As the assessment of most old line, or regular insurance came too high lor persons of small means, Thf Farmers Life Association was orgauized upon a basis that will allow all, even thof-e who labor for thtir d iily bread, to come in and readily meet the demauds. It. is called the Far-ners Life Association Because it originated among tbe farmers. It is not, bow eve, intended only for farmers but its do r is opened to aU professions lis -lan is simple, cheap and charitable within the reach of the plowman and mechanic, as well as tnoee in more favorable conditions of life.

It has lifted mortgages, relieved the widow and tathedess and as sisted the father in caring for the motherless. Correspondence solioited. J. W. Lane, President. Ii. A. Russell, Secty.

Ribbits, we read, were not native in Australia, but were brought in by some one who thought it would be pleasant to have the little pets around. They now cost Australia hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and their extermination has been found to be iiij possible Tho Scorch thistle, dear to many a heart as the emblem of a great people and a land famous in song and story, has become an enor mously expensive nuisance where it has been transplanted to other lands. One ot England's colonists con ceived that some of the watercress of ;.he old couutr'' would serve u remind him of home. He sent for ir, and it thrived and thrived itha at thi-L day thousands o", dollars are expanded annually to dredge it out cf the navigable rivers ot the province to which it was imported. We are reminded of these well kuown facts by the statement that the gypy moth does a damage of one million dollars annually in Massachusetts, and that it was introduced into that state by a naturalist who was about to place a specimen obtained from abroad, under a microscope when it escaped and bred the family that now in fests the State. Asheville Citizen-, FARMERS LIFE ASSOCIATION XORTIl C IROLIXA. THE DOTE. COMPANION TO POE'S "RAVEN." By Rev. J. If. Martin, D. D. Once, upon a summer evening, As I lav reposing, dreaming, While the twinkling stars arc laminr; And Iljfir light was taintlv gleaming0' Through the window of mv room, Suddenly, licside my pillow," Like die murmur of a billow, I'Mid the shadow and the gloom. There was lie. ml a gentle sound, Floaiing on the air around, As an echo from a'mve; And I, waking, spw a dove Perched upon the whitened he ld Of a sriitue near my lied; And it seemed, with soft, low nxiint;-. My lone heart to soothe with w.uingv Like an angel from the skv, Or a spirit hovering nigh.' While I lay entranced and dreaming, Startled hy the echo seeming To be whispered from above, In the starlight faintly gleaming. With its form of beauty" beaming, I beheld the snowy dove; With a thrill of wonder, gazing On the visitor amazing, I demand: Who are you?'' And the snowy robe of brightness Answered with a coo; 'I am sent," he said, from Aiden, By a fair and lovely maiden. With a message unto thee; I am come to soothe thy sorrow. Bid thee Irom despair to borrow Hope that thou her face shall see For thy cherished one is living, And her thoughts to thee is giving On a bright and distant shore; And I come her carrier dove, With a message from thy love. Who is thine for evermore." By this jovial news excited. Raptured, ravished and delighted. I, tbe snowy bird addressing. Asked, with earnest voice inquiring. What my soul was most desiring, That her name to me expressing, He would set my heart at rest Still the tumult in my breast. And assure me that my maiden In the distant fields ot Aiden Waited for me on that shore. Would be mine forevermore Then I spoke with greater fervor, I, the maiden's ardent lover, "Does my own departed live?" To trie biiJ ot whiteness listening. While my eager eye were glistening, For the answer he should give; "Tell me, O thou carrier dove, OI my absent, cherished love, Whom I knew in days of yore; Has she passed the shining portal Of the blessed land immortal. Going through the golden door? Does she move in light and splendor, Do ihe graces all attend her, On that fair and distant shore?" Words and tones and looks revealing All my depths of inward feeling. Moved, effected by my pleading. And my anxious question heeding, Thus the dove, my soul discerning, Answer made, these words returning; "In the distant fields of Aiden, On a bright, Elysian shore. Dwells a fair and lovely n aiden, And her name is Elinore 'Mid the flowers about lier blooming, 'Mid the odors sweet, perluming All the balmy air around. She, arrayed in robes of whiteness, Walks, an angel in her brightness, W ith a wreath immortal crowned." The l the bird, his wings unfolding, Left roe as I lay beholding Filled with transport and delight; With a soft, sonorous coo, Nodding, bidding me adieu, Through the open window flow Out into the gloomy night. But the bright enchanting vision Ot the distant fields elysian, And my cherished Elinore, As a fair and lovely maiden Dwelling in the land of Aiden, Is my light forevermore. There shall I, my loved one greeting. At our future, early meeting, On that distant radiant shored With ecstatic joy and gladness. Free from parting, pain and sadness, Clasp again my Elinore, Call her mine forevermore! The Greatest Treasure. The grestest treasure that can adorn the palace of the rich the cottages of the poor is the Bible. It contains no flattery; no exaggeration, but is replete with sublime and correct views. All the sophistry of infidels cannot dim one single say, for it flashes with all the rays of divine truth. When we are left in suffering and sorrow; when the affairs of this worlJ go wrong; when all around seem dark and dreary, it is our best, truest friend. It can bring consolation in the darkest hour of adversity wipe away tne bitterest tears ana spread serenity o'er the dying bed. Yea, when t we grow tired of this dusty world, it will stop with us by the way-side and rest our weary head in some tranquil spot, and bear the spirit away on angel s snowy wings to an Jiiter nal Home. The Happy Home. I have peeped into quiet parlors where the carpet is clean and hot old and the furnitnre is polished and brig it, into rooms where tbe chairs are neat andt henior cr peted, into kitchens where i he family live, and the meal are cock ed and eaten, and the boys and girls are as blithe and joons as tbe sparrows overhead, and J. see that it is not so ii.iich el i learning, or c h -. or s- - ;i0, or toil, or idleness, or Lorn, or conn try, or station, as it is tone and temoer that readers homes happy or wretched. And I see too, that in town or country, good sense and kind feel ing, and God's grace make Hie what no teachers or accomplish ment, or meens, or society can make it the opening stave of an everlasting psalm tbe fair begin ning of an endless and blessed ex istence the goodly, modest, well proportioned vestibule to a temple of God's building that shall never decay, or wax old or vanish away.
