The change in the temperature at
night last week brought needed sleep
to many who had for three-weeks tan
ned at night in vain trying to get a
sufficient amount of "tired nature's
sweet restorer."
lhe number of generals in the
Southern Confederacy has been
question for discussion since the close
of the war. It is said that the esti
mates vary from four hundred and
twenty to four hundred and seventy-
five. They have died more rapidly, it
is claimed, since the war than the Fed-
erai omcers. mere are now not more
than three dozen of the Confederate
generals living.
Judge Albion W. Tourgee, once
known to North Carolina, and who was
resident of the State, and carried away
some ear-burning hatred of the Old
North State, is professor in a Law
school in Buffalo, New York. His
only daughter who was born in North
Carolina in iu, is saia to promise
much as an artist. She has made a
drawing of her father which is a per
fect likeness, it is said.
John Lawson, a Scoth gentleman
who came to America in 1700, wrote
a history of North Carolina in 1714.
In Manly's "Southern Literature," an
extract from Lawson's history shows
that a precinct then of Albemarle
county was known as "Chuwon."
Does Chowan county take its name
rom the name of "Chuwon" precinct?
Or does the name of the beautiful
Chowan river derive from "Chuwon"
precinct and the county take, name
from the river?
Some one of leisure hours and with
an
inclination to study old records
will perhaps find this an interesting in
vestigation.
There are habits of study and habits
in study. Whoever has the habit of
study, can and will do the world good
service thereby if he follows it up.
Elabits of study commit one to mental
activity without especially dictating
how or where he shall do his work ;
but habits in study hold the student
down to certain idiosyncrasies from
which he sometimes cannot easily
break. Habits in study sometimes
compel the student to have his lamp
on the right or left side, as the case
may be, else he cannot study at all.
Some people would make light of
such a thing ; but to such we heard
Evangelist R. 6. Pearson once suggest
that the reason they could not appre
ciate such a habit in study, is because
they have never studied enough to
know anything about the habit of
study under any phase of its meaning.
And there is much in it.
The "Zionlte Movement" is one of
which the world generally has heard
practically very little, but it has more
significance than one would at first
imagine. It is a movement for the
return of the Jews to their an
cient home in the land of Palestine.
t is said that for hundreds of years
there has been talk of the Jews return
ing to Jerusalem, but the talked-of
possibility has only been taking shape
or about twelve years.
Through all their wanderings certain
of the Jewish teachers have kept the
idea before their minds, and since their
persecution in Russia, it seems more
ike a probability. It is said that
there are more than lour tnousana
Jewish colonists in Palestine, and the
Zionite movement is backed by the
Rostchilds and other great Jewish
amilies of wealth and influence.
.
With a great popular leader it win
doubtless in a few years be one of the
important movements iu history.
If the Jews ever make a great and
permanent nation of themselves in
their ancient home of Palestine, or
anywhere else, they must do it by be
coming Christianized as they become
colonized, or the hand of God will be
lagainst them still,

Takes Good Care of Billy.
A correspondent of the N. Y. World
writing about Mrs. Bryan's solicitude
for her husband, tells tnis :
She watches her husband with fierce
vigilance. She won't let him sit in a
draught. She won't let him sit in the
sun, and she marches him off to his
meals, willy nilly.
"It's bad enough for him to get his
bod on the installment plan," she said,
when they had 1ft breakfast three
times to go out and be cheered and
speechified and welcomed ; "but food
he must have, cammittees or no com
mittees." She will not discuss politics. She
will not talk about this State or that
State. She hopes her husband will be
elected. She says she doesn't think it
would be any fun at all to be mistress
of the White House. She says she
could have a good deal better time in
many ways if her husband was defeated,
and for all that she hopes he will not
be defeated.
"People are always asking me what
is the secret of my husband's populari
ty," she said to-day. "They do not
seem to realize that he represents a
a great principle. It isn't Bryan these
people cheer ; it's the things he repre-
rents."
"Some people call it magnetism,"
said a man with a note book."
'Perhaps they do," Mrs. Bryan said,
quietly. "I call it truth, and an hon
est purpose in speaking it. That's the
kind of magnetism I believe in."
Halo on Mt. Washington.
Bethlehem, N. H., Aug. 19. At 10
o'clock Monday night a beam of light
shot up from the Western horizon, and
n ten minutes spread to the eastern
iiorizon, forming a magnificent auroral
halo. It was pure white and had the
appearance of a narrow band of paper.
For two hours the centre ot the arch
inclined northward and at 12 :08 it to
totally disappeared. From descriptions
it seems to have possessed the same fea
tures as the one observed last week in
Illinois.
During the continuance of the halo
the northern light shone with greaf
brilliancy, and there occurred a shoWer
of meteors which lasted six minutes.
From 10 o'clock to midnight the mer
cury dropped 18 degrees.
The temperature on Mt. Washing
ton to-night, is 27, and a snow-storm is
raging, with a howling gale. The phe
nomena were observed ' throughout the
White mountains.
"For five weeks I lived on cold wa

Tnis is not an uncommon case. Dys

'THE BOY ORATOR."
YOUNGEST PRESIDENTIAL NOM
INEE.
A. Study of William J. Bryan.
Leslie's Weekly.
The wonderful possibilities of Amer
ican citizenship are strikingly illustrat
ed in the nomination for the Presiden
cy of William Jennings Bryan, who
was selected at Chicago on the 10th of
July last to lead the national Democra
cy in the quadrennial battle for nation
al supremacy. Mr. Bryan was not a
national figure prior to his speech at
Chicago. He had won, it is true, fame
of a tentative sort, through his brilliant
speeches in Congress and his strength
as an advocate of silver on the stump
and forum in the South and West.
But his youth and his comparatively
circumscribed fight across the horizon
of publicity kept his name from figur
ing in the list of possibilities. But, to
paraphrase Burke Cockran, "his nomi
nation was so much an improbability as
to become a possibility." Chance gave
him the opportunity to place the im
press of his oratorical power upon the
convention, and he proved his claim to
greatness by rising to the occasion.
His speech won him the nomination
on the-following day.
One of the charges brought against
Mr. Bryan, in denial of his fitness for
the Presidency, is that he is young.
This is undeniable. He, himself, , ad
mits it, and the family Bible is a mute
witness to the truth of the charge
Mr. Bryan has the distinction of being
the youngest man ever nominated for
the Presidency, and m fact is barely a
year beyond the tnirty-nve year age
limit of the Constitution. But, not
withstanding his youth, he had before
his nomination for the Presidency
achieved honors that have come to but
comparatively few men in life.
He was yery young, but thirty, when
he was first elected to Congress, and
had the honor during his first term of
being appointed to a place on the Ways
and Means committee. He was even
younger when he first gained reputa
tion as an eloquent, cogent, and inter
esting speaker.
Mr. Bryan was born in the small
town of Salem, Illinois, on the 19th of
March, 1860. His father was Judge
Bryan for a number of years a judge of
the circuit court which embraced the
county of Marion, and who for eight
years represented that district in the
Illinois State Senate. William Jen
nings Bryan was born on a farm just
outside of Salem, and, now that he has
achieved distinguished honors, he
shares the fate, common to the great, of
being remembered as a remarkably pre
cocious child.
Mr. Bryan's predilection for politics
speedily led him into the arena, where
the greatest triumphs have since been
won. in laoo and iooy ne siumpeu
the State for the Democratic ticket,
and his star as an orator first appeared
in the firmament. His rise in politics
came about in a peculiar way. The
Democratic party in Nebraska had for
years been controlled by a coterie of
old-line Democrats, but they had failed
to achieve any measure of success. In
1888 the scholarly J. Sterling Morton,
the present Secretary of Agriculture
and one of the then leaders, was defeat
ed by a large majority in his race for
Congress in the First district, which
then embraced the long-settled south
eastern section of the State. In leiM)
the Democratic nomination for Congress
went begging, and when young Bryan
come forward and asKea ior it was
willingly given him by the old guard.
They had not looked with a kindly eye
upon his rising fame, and it is shrewd
ly suspected that their ready acquies
cence was given more to extinguish the
new light than otherwise, as it was be
lieved that where Morton had failed no
Democrat had any hope for success.
The young candidate had already
made himself the idol of the younger
element of his party, and they gaye an
enthusiastic indorsement to his plans.
He wrote his own platform, in which a
tariff for revenue and free coinage ot
silver were the cardinal planks, and en
tered upon a canvass now memorable
in the political annals of the State.
One of his first moves was to challenge
his opponent, Congressman.W. J. Con
nell, to joint debate. Connell was an
Omaha lawyer, who had been fairly
successful in practice at the bar, and,
contrary to Bryan's expectations, he ac
cepted the challenge. He was, hdwev
er, no match for Brj-an, and when the
votes were counted it was found'that
the latter had overturned a Republican
majority of three thousand two hun
dred and carried district by six thous
and eight bundled.
While a resident of Illinois Mr. Bry
an had rendered yeoman political ser
vice to Congressman Springer, and in
the preliminary contest for the speak
ership in the Fifty-second Congress be
espoused that gentleman's cause. When
Springer made his terms with Crisp be
rewarded Bryan's devotion by securing
him a place on the Ways and Means
committee. His maiden speech was
delivered March 16th, 1892, in support
of the Springer free-wool bill. It plan
I -t
ed him at a single bound in the front
ranks of the advocates of a revenue tar
iff. His readiness and resources as a
debater soon made him a dangerous an
tagonist, and the eminence he gained
was maintained during his entire term
of service. In 1892 he was renominated.
The State had been redistricted and
the First made strongly Republican.
Allen W. Field, of Lincoln, an able
lawyer, was pitted against him, but
Bryan pulled through by the slender
majority of one hundred and forty-two.
He declined to make the race a third
time, and since his retirement from
Congress he has divided his time be
tween editorial work on the Omaha
World-Herald and the spreading of the
silver propaganda in" the West and
South.
When Mr. Bryan came to Nebraska
hej wore a heavy beard and mustache,
but he soon discarded both. He has a
strong, clean-cut, fine-lined face. His
eye is kindly, yet piercing. His hair is
raven black, with a widening circle of
baldness upon the crown of his head
He is athletic in build, and his massive
head in profile is strikingly like that of
his distinguished opponent, Major Mc
Kinley. A distinguishing feature ot
the man is the unusual width of his
mouth, although the lips are thin and
sensitive, ne is a nandsome man.
E 1
whose "appearance before an audience
inevitably.attracts instant attention and
interest. The predominant character
istic of his countenance is frankness.
His mental alertness is shown in every
movement of his eyes, his features
and his lips. His voice is strong,
resonant, pleasing, capable of " modula
tion. His gestures are graceful and
easy, and belore an audience he is a
consummate actor, his voice and body
lending themselves easily to the neces
sities of the moment. His manners are
most engaging. "He never betrays pas
sion, but candor, earnestness, and sin
cerity are the impressions he gives to
his auditors. He is plain, simple, di
rect in language, and draws his illus
trations impartially from the classics
and from current history.
Mr. Bryan is not a demagogue ; his
sincerity and his earnestness are too ev
ident. He is a man convinced that his
is the cause of the people ; that it is sure
to triumph ; that not all the hordes of
organized wealth can defeat that cause
upon which he belieyes God has placed
the seal "Just." Secure In that convic
tion, he has resisted all temptations to
secure riches and certain honors by
wearing the livery of plutocracy, one
of which is said to have involved the
offer, -from an Eastern State, of a Unit
ed States Senatorship as long as he
wished supposed to have come from
Tammany. In his early life he looked
forward to a Congressional career, and
with that end in view he fitted himself
for discussion of the great problems of
government. After his triumphs in
Congresshe dreamed of the Presidency
but the nomination has come to him
earlier than he believetf likely.
Mr. Bryan is a politician ot the high-
er type, ne HKes pontics, xie oe-
leves that every young man should
take an active interest in the game,
and he believes the country would be
all the better for it if they did. He is
adroit, active, audacious, and tireless,
and under his generalship the old lead
ers have been overthrown. His victory
was achieved partly through tactical
skill and partly through the hold he
has upon the affections of his followers.
His only reverse has been a defeat for the
United States Senatorship. In 1894 he
made an offensive and defensive alliance
with the Populists to secure the major-
ty of the Legislature, and, though de
feated, it was a close call for the Repub-
icans, twenty of their Assemblymen
being victors by less than fifty yotes.
Mr. Bryan is a religious man, a trait
of character inherited from his father,
who frequently interrupted the work of
his court to engage in prayer. But his
piety is not demonstrative or intrusive.
- : -1 t
Me is a man oi aamiraoie poise ui cuar-
cter, has never been heard to utter a
profane word, nor does he use tobacco
or intoxicants in any form. -
Mr. Bryan's domestic relations have
been most felicitous. He was married
twelve years ago to Mary Baird, the
daughter of a well-to-do merchant of
Perry, Illinois, and three cniiaren,
Ruth, aged eleven, William J., aged
six, and Grace, aged fiye, have blessed
the union. Jle resides at ibo u. ot.,
in a handsome home in which, through
the eenerositv of his father-in-law, he
was enabled to begin life in the West.
Mrs. Brvan is a finely educated woman,
a leader in club hie in the city, and
thoroughly devoted to her husband.
She believes he is destined to accom
plish great things, and confident of his
election to the Presidency. After their
marriage, in order to identify herself
more closely with her husband's life-
work, she studied law and was admitted
to the Bar after a satisfactory examina
tion by a critical board, but she has
never practiced. She is -studious, Ime
her husband, and their library contains
but little of fiction, the orations of the
moderns and the ancients and treatises
on political economy predominating.
She cares little lor society, tier aey-
lion to her husband's interests is fully
appreciated by him.

Biit auu to WBiBa evmence, snouia
be more apt to arrive at a just conclu -
sion man wouiu iweiye men ot various
pursuits who are suddenly brought from
the active duties of life and compelled
to listen to the details of complicated
transactions without that training and
experience which enables Courts to dis
criminate between the true and the
false, the apparent and the real. But
it should be observed, on the other
hand; that in a large number of cases
the jurors, from knowledge derived
from their own business, are very com
petent experts, and almost intuitively
detect on which side the truth lies, and
bring in their yerdicts accordingly.
Jfrobably the most effective argu
ment in defense of the jury system is
its educational influence. The jurors
who take part in the administration of
the law, are very likely to respect the
law and to have their minds open
ed and enlarged. After such an expe
rience it may in some sort be said that
they become better citizens and more
sensible in the duties they owe the
kj untw. "v..., v,m
ment in England, which is more or less
marked, and the discussion in Ameri -
ca, which has developed different opin
ions, it may be said that the long con
tinuance of trial by jury is, at. least,
open to doubt. What Judg Towner,
of Iowa, says upon the subject In the
following extracts from his article in
the American Law Register and Re
view for August will, we feel sure, in
terest our readers :
"In these times, when a leading
law magazine says of trial by jury : 'It
is the greatest farce of modern times ;
it is an infinite evil in civil cases ; in
criminal cases it is a positive curse to
societv. 'Trial by iury is simply a
trial by popular prejudice ;' when an
eminent American Judge advises its
total abolition ; when Lord Herschell,
in England, writes that in all compli
cated cases it is in his judgment 'emi
nently unsuitable ;' when Lord Cole
ridge adds : 'Long experience and much
reflection lead me to give up the opin
ion in favor of it which I formerly en
tertained, and to adopt strongly an
opinion adverse to it in civil cases,' it
is certainly wise to examine and weigh
carefully the system. In the rural dis
tricts of the Western States there can
be little question of its merits. Mis
takes are so few, and the advantages so
manifest, that no one with practical
knowledge of its woricing would dream
of its abandonment. Ihere is no pos
sible substitute for the jury system but
trials by Courts. And it may without
hesitancy be said that juries make no
more mistakes than Courts, and are as
often right in their verdicts as Judges
are in their rulings When tnis is con
sidered, and the immense benefit that
results from the people's becoming thus
ifontifier! with the administration of
the law, the question is hardly longer
debatable. It is, however, true that
this is largely owing to the superior
clubs of men who constitute our juries.
They are not street loafers nor Court
idlers, but farmers and tradesmen, who
. . i . 1 1
nwn tneir own nomcs . wiiu raiu mo
newspapers; who, it not highly edu
cated are intelligent ; and who, if they
do not give many evidences of culture,
Kfrincr ,nn who form their own
are thinking men who form their own
opinions, and who are independent
pnnncrh to be iust. What I say will
doubtless seem extravagant to many ;
but it is an opinion deliberately formed
and one which is strengthened by ev
ery days experience on the bench."
