THE EDITOES'S LEISUKE EOUBS. Points and Paragraphs cf Things Pres9nt, Past and Future. The Commonwealth has pleaded many times for the poor, speech lea? hore and ox that is outlines worked too hard on too scant feed and tLon hilt to stand sometimes for hours in ite hot, blistering sun. At thia season of the year the heat of the sun is pe culiarly exhausting botb to man and i b-.-tst. It is inexcusable cruelty to lea vo stock standing intho6im any length of time. One who is careful fur the comfort of his beats can al most always find a shade or a stall for them. There is a good law on the statute books against cruelty to animals ;nd ll suytit to te enforced. One who has made much observa tion of "passing events," no doubt, writes the following which, we think suitable for this column of The Com monwealth : "The newspapers of a town are its looking glasses. It is here ycu see yourselves as others sea you. You smile on them, and they smile back at you ; you frown on them, and you are repaid in kind. They are the reflex of a town. If the town is doing business the newspaper will show it in its ad veriisii j-nns. If the merchants are epif-pYiiftless fellows, whose stores is Sc-tes of junk and jrm, ttie newspapers will show it by the lack of tspace they take. If you want the world to know that you have a live town, you can only let it be known through Us newspaper." Fai mar C. W. SLianer who went from Hui'fax to H trnett to raise ..pta nuls, is succeeding very well. Inueaa he has given out t hat his peanuts there are three weeics earlier than othr pea nuts. Whereupon the Raleigh Post saj's that Harnett will yet develop in to one ol the most prosperous counties in the State. The Post concludes : "And somehow we believe oil can be found below the surface there when bored for the proper depth." Inasmuch. as the Louisiana suffrage law and the constitutional amendment of North Carolina are very much alike a tent cafe that has been made up in New Orleans will interest the people ol North Carolina. A colored resident of New Orleans, named David J. Raynee, on July 10th made application to be registered as a voter and was refused becauid he could not comply with the qualifications of the Louisina Constitu tion of 1898. Through his attorney he hied a suit in the courts praying for a writ of mandamus to compel the registrar to enroll him. Raynes is described as a slave and the son of a slave, has resided in New Orleans since 1860, at which time be was carried there from Tennessee. He is in good standing In his community, it is said, is an officer in the Method ist church, but cannot read and does not pay taxes on $300 worth of property. He claims that he is debarred from registering as a voter by reason of his color and that a white man under the same circumstances would be allowed to vote. The Outlook of New York thinks that Raynea' case will deter mine the validity of the North Caroli na constitutional amendment, because the constitutions of the two States are so much alike. " -'N A YOUNG LADY '3 LIFE SAVED. At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. Dr. Chas. Utter, a prominent physi cian of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states : "Last March I had as a patient a young lady of sixteen years of age, who bad a. very bad attact of dysentery. Everything I prercribed lor her proved ineffectual and she whs growing worse every hour. Her par ents were sure she would die. She had become sp weak that the 'could not turn ovef in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's Colicr Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours sje wasJeeling much bet ter ; inside of three days she was upon her feet and at the end ot one week was entirely well." For Bale by E. T. Wtebead fc Co. HEARD IN PASSING. A Word Dropped Between Two pis slpatecl Toons Men Shovreu They Were Hot Pant Feeling. They were walkirtg- with heads tient, nd hands behind them, as if in .thoughtful frame of mind, and as I drew near, I heard one say, in a rue ful tone: " ' "Oh, if we could only f orget, It wosld not be so unbearable; but sometimes, when haunted by the memory of the wasted years, it seems to me 1 shall go mad." "My case exactly," said hfs compan ion, with a half-suppressed oath. "My memory is a curse to me, for it nags me like a fiend." - j Glancing at the speakers, .as they passed, I noted that, although they walked as if the weights of time were dragging at their feet. They were com paratively youthful; but the bloated faces and bloodshot eyes, were in evi Bence of the why of the nagging mem ories. A moment later I was overtaken by one who had from childhood lived in our city, and to her I put the query: "Do you know anything of the men you just passed?" "I know nothing good of them," was the quick retort, adding; "We were once classmates, but it is years since 1 have so much as given them a nod in passing-. To tell the truth I oftn, when not in too great a hurry, as now, go a block out of my way to avojd meeting them, they have fallen so low." "Tell me something of their history, as we walk on," urged I, "for some "OH, IF WE COULD ONLY FORGET." words I heard, in passing, aroused my curiosity to know something concern ing their past." "It seems a waste of time to even talk of such creatures," said my com panion, with a shudder of disgust, "but I will tell 3'ou as much of them as you will care to know. "They were always chums," con tinued she; "even when they were lit the fellows, it was a common saying: 'Find Ned, and (vou will be sure to see Fred.' This friendship, which still ex ists, is the only redeeming feature about either of them. They are only 35 years old, but they are fearfully old in sin. "They belong to two of the first fam ilies in the city, btlt as to culture and wealth. But in spite of everything done to lead them upward and God ward, by patient and loving friends, they seemed bent n g'oing to the bad. Yet they are both well educated. One chose the profession of law, the other that of medicine; but I doubt if pa tient or client has come to either. They are care-free, however, seeming ly, and content to live a life of sinful pleasure. "Fred, as I once called him, married one of the sweetest girls In the world as such creatures so often do she was one of the loving, clinging sort of women, made to be love-shielded, but lacking in will power, and after two 3-ears of untold misery, she died of a broken heart. If Fred mourned her tarly death, it failed to influence him. He continued to drink and gamble as before. "Ned never married, thank fortune, but he has well-nigh ruined his old father; while his mother, whose idol he was, rested from her tears and vigils long years agpo. "But they care nothing for broken hearts and untimely graves, for they have not one spark of feeling left." - She misjudged them, however, in one respect, for I, who, in passing, had caught those remorseful words, knew that they sulfered keenly, as all must, the sowing of "wild oats." Mrs. Helena H. Thomas, in N. Y. Observer. Beer Prevents a. Weddlns. I can never marry a maai who buys beer for bis faifeer-in-law," declared pretty Rosa Shoemaker, of Allentown, Pa., who had jilted her lover, Charles F. Clewell, an hour before their in tended wedding, because the young man had "set 'em up" to her father. Clewell and the girl had been sweet hearts for nearly a year, and several months ago their engagement was announced-. The young man went to the courthouse to get a marriage license, accompanied by the father of the girL On the- way home the young man bought two glasses of beer for -his prospective father-in-law.. The girl saw them come out of the saloon, and when Clewell called at the house in the eveningfo escort his bride to the clergyman's house she jilted him, in epite of the fact that she had bought her -wedding trousseau. ' She would give no other reason' for her action tkan that she would not marry a man who treated his father-in-law. The wise young man begins early in ife to lay no rt m Iuf e4""0 A SERENE SOUL. faith in Christ the Only Thing That Can Give Any Real Peace i of Mind. -And that ye study to be quiet. I. Thessa lontans, 4:11. Peace of mind is worth more than many things which we work haMer to acquire. It has no relation to that Stoical indifference which driftwood feels when it tries to stem the. current and theirresigns itself to fate, but is the result of faith in the purpose and power of God to adapt every possible experience to our higher welfare. -A man can be calm oniy when he knows that a stronger hand than his is guid ing events, and that behind the hand is a warm heart. Our spiritual difficulty is that we cannot consent to allow God to rule His own universe. If w were 'travel ing through a strange country we should accept the word of our guide as final. His familiarity with thtv en vironment would render him an au thority, and though many things might not be to our liking, we should hardly take the responsibility of dis missing him and trusting to our-ignor- ance rather than his wisdom. hV profitableness of the iournev wouldr r depend on implicit obedience, for without the guide we should be help less. We know nothing of the new language, nothing of the customs of the people, and if left alone, therefore, wet should be like a blind man among pitialls. The guide is the autocrat of the occasion, and unless' he is the au tocrat the whole journey will end in grief. He does not advise, he com mands. He even insists when you re bel, and will make no compromise whatever. There is but he safe way to -proceed in order to insure the end you seek, and he is master of that way. Your stole business is to obey him, and to prove his ability to lead by the re sults which come to you. If, therefore, you are convinced that your guide is competent, you can be quiet under the most perplexing cir cumstances. When he assures you that you need have mo fear, that though danger threatens he is in per fect control of the exigency, you learn to suffer discomfort with something approaching cheerfulness, and the fact that you have, confidence in him af fords a serenity and even a content ment which you could not enjoy but for his presence. He tells you frank ly that there are hardships to be borne, but no real harm can come to you; that there are sufferings to be endured, but because of them you will find yourself a stronger and healthier man in-the end. , I take it that life is just snch a jour ney as that. It is. through a. new and strange country we are traveling. It is not an easy road that leads through earth to Heaven. Neither can it be de nied that our experiences are fre quently inexplicable. Problems pre sent themselves which we cannot solve, and we wonder with a rebellious kind of wonder why we mxist suffer while others seem to enjoy. Only one grim fact stares us in the face, name ly, that the unwelcome experience cannot be evaded, must be met, and, if possible, used to our advantage. I am ready to admit that there is apparent injustice in human life, and ready to confess that I do not under stand it. But this I kaiow: there are just two ways, and rio more, in which to meet whatever fate befalls-. If I have no faith that wisdom and love are in control, I am the most desperate and unhappy being on the planet. My doubt is a source of weakness which disables me. My mental attitude af fects even mjj physical health, and I am like a warrior who goes into battle without his weapons. Life is not profitable if you must go through it on your own personal judgment and responsibility. Outside of yourself there must be someone to call on for help, for com fort, for consolation. The universe is a dreary plae with out a God to worship and to pray to. God is the soul's prime necessity, and until you find Him and effect some kindly relation to Him.you can ac complish nothing better than failure. But with God always in the back ground of your experience nothing can happen that cannot be mastered. Peace of mind is the result of faith. Philosophy cannot furnish it, wealth cannot buy it, fame cannot give it to you. It is the product of religion alone. The religion which makes you bear with patience, suffer with resig nation and seek in sorrow and be reavement the good they hide that is worth having. It is practicable, and proves itself Divine by bringing God and the angels close to the soul wtren it needs them most. It is like bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty. Christ was calm. His heart was an untroubled sea. Calvary did not dis may, Gethsemane did not disturb. The secret of His serenity was the pres ence God, which, Kke sunlight, made darkness impossible. Even so with us. With Heaven in sight, with angels near at hand, the dull experiences of earth are trans figured by the radiance of eternity. We canbe cheerful, quiet, serene when the hand of man grasps the" hand oi the Father. George II. Hepworth, in N. Y. Herald. Snlrlt of Trne Contentment. Does it rain to-day? Is it dark an4 gloomy?

The first union .flag to be captured and the first, union officer to be taken prisoner in a fight during the civil war are in New York'city. The officer Is R. M. Shurtleff, who was a volunteer. He has the flag, says the St. Louis Re public. It is blood st ained and t orn. Ho car ried it while on picket duty near Hamp ton, Va., on the morning of July 19, 1661, when a small confederate party lying in ambush, w"undedhim and an other officer, and took them prisoners. Mr. Shurtleff was the first prisoner; hisi brother officer, who was taken cap tive a few minutes later, died about a year afterward; Maj. Itowlins, a third member of the union party and a war correspondent, was killed. The flag returned to the possession of Mr. Shurtleff in September, 1885. It was handed over to him by Col. J. M. Sandidge, leader of the confederates who had made the attack from am bush. " Mr. Shurtleff was a lieutenant and adjutant of the Ninety-ninth New York volunteers, who were encamped in Hampton, Va. Gen. Max Weber had sent Capt, Jenkins, Lieut. Shurtleff and three other members of the Ninety-ninth volunteers to reconnoiter for confederate pickets on the night of July 18, 1861. The scouting party was accompanied by Maj. Itowlins. Owing to several union scouting par ties having fired upon union soldiers, orders hud issued from headquarters that some member or members of ev ery scouting party should carry one or THE FIRST UNION FLAG. more union flags, to wave in order to prevent further mistakes. Lieut. Shurtleff carried a flag in one hand for his party. They journeyed past the New Mar ket bridge and saw in the distance the confederate pickets. Near the bridge John M. Sandidge, a member of the Charles City (Va.) troop, with his son George, another trooper named Bur dette Terrett and a guide, saw the union party and hid in the woods. Sandidge was the leader of the con federate party. He afterward rose to the rank of colonel in the confederate army. He decided that he would wait until the union party had returned from their scouting and attack it from ambush. Sandidge believed that the federals might capture some confed erates, and that his party would be able to rescue them. The union party returned im the morning by the New Market Bridge road and came to the point where the confederates lay in ambush- Col. San didge gave this description of the af fair: V "We were each to pick out a man and thus make the best use of our ammuni tion. At about seven o'clock they ap peared, the three officers abreast, whose names, as afterward ascer tained, were Maj. Kowlins, Capt. Jen kins and Lieut. Shurtleff. When they were some 20 paces distant we fired. Kowlins fell, shot through the head. "Shurtleff was wounded in the arm. and side by Terrett. Capt. Jenkins, who was third in the rank, was un touched, as my son George had not fired." Col. Sandidge then related how Capt. Jenkins had continued fighting until he was badly wounded in the breast. Capt. Jenkins was not captured, how ever, until after Lieut. Shurtleff. "Having reloaded my gun," con tinued Col. Sandidge, "I returned to Shurtleff. Aiming the weapon at him, I demanded the number of his party and their whereabouts. He said they had taken to the woods. Iorderedhim to get up and call on his companions to surrender. This he did, but they did not appear. "Shurtleff was badly shot. At the time he was wounded he was carrying a small-sized union flag. This was used to -stanch the blood that flowed from his wound. "The union flag captured on this oc casion was the first taken in the war and was carefully preserved. After having been displayed in Richmond it was restored to me. "The sight of it naturally recalled recollections of the union soldier who had borne it so bravely, and I often wondered whether he had survived the events of the war. It was my desire to ascertain his fate, and4 he were f till living t send back the bloody trophy of civil strife." , This description of the ambush was given by Col. Sandidge in 1885 in New Orleans. He had been trying to locate Mr. Shurtleff for several yearS, and finally did succeed in learning in the Kdneata Yoar Bowels With Caeearet Candy Cathartic, ears constipation forever. tte.39cT Jt a C.

Bnifnent Astronomers Who Are at Odds About the Temperature of Stars. Astronomer Brooks, of Geneva, thinks Mars is inhabited. Astronomer Holden, of New York, thinks not. Dr. Holden thinks men would freeze in Mars. Brooks thinks that Dr. Hold en's assumptions are not warranted by the facts. But the. two astrono mers seem to disagree about the facts, for Dr. Brooks, who has seen the Mar tian canals, says that Dr. Holden dis believes in them, says Harper's Weekly. But supposing Dr. Holden to be right about tie frostiness of Mars, why should not unfreezable creatures live there? Dr. S. D. McConnell, in the "Evolution of Immortality ."speculates hopefully about the ability of active and progressive human souls to build up for themselves during earthly life a physical fabric, made of indestruc tible ether, which shall survive the body of flesh, and flourish comfortably in frost, flames or water. These in destructible bodies would be material and fit to express the physical life of rational souls. They seem to be very much such bodies as ghosts and spir its have always been understood and expected to have, but Dr. McConnell makes them seem likelier aiuf more comprehensible by suggesting that they be made of a real substance, and that the substance is the luminous ether. He writes m the light of such recent additions to our knowledge of this ether as have come through the experiments of Struve, Helmholtz, Lord Kelvin, Dolbear, Tesla, Bont gen and others, and through the work ings of the "X ray" and wireless tel egraph apparatus. It don't really bear on Mr. Holden's views about Mars being inhabitable to say that ghosts could live there, for he has not been speculating about ghosts, but creatures like ourselves. But Mars as a place of residence for souls with bodieB made of indestruc tible ether, is more interesting than Mars with no one on it at all. More over, if rational beings with indestruc tible bodies which can pervade matter, are scientifically conceivable, modi fied bodies, not necessarily indestruc tible, but adapted to Mars, are con ceivable also. Dress in Senate. It is not always safe to judge a man by his clothes, but dress goes a long way in certain localities. If anyone doubts our democracy, let him spend a day in the gallery of the United States senate, the least dig nified "upper house" of legislation in the world. "Befo de wah" all mem bers were clean shaven, wore black frocks and high stocks, beavers, peg top trousers, and a solemn air of public importance privately ex pressed. They believed in their hearts that they were statesmen, and the world acknowledged them as such. Dignity was the chief qual ity, pride their most cherished pos session. The old-timers, like Morgan, Teller, Cockrell, Berry, Proctor and Daniel, still wear their before-the-war clothes, digmity and pride, but the post-bellum regiment of politi cians is uniformed in the sack suit or the cutaway.
