The radiant beauty of her tender face Was but an echo ot her lovelier soui : To all thin gs fair she lent a fairer grace; What .was not sweet, some sweetness from her stole : In dailv loving acts she met their needs Who dreamed ot luture great ana nome deeds. She strove to round her life unto that law She willed to be the world's, in act and word ; Where others found but ill some good she saw, And held from all whate'er unkind she heard ; She fain would see linked closer friend to friend, And sought to make love deeper grow,not end. And what she seemed to be she was, in sooth, Alike ta all, herself, sincere and true. Earnest and trusting all, for such was truth - To her. It gave her faith in those she knew, And if they grew indeed beneath her spell. More like to what she thought them, who can tell i She loved the world and made it fair each day About her; to her steps joy seemed to cline : ' Through paths of love she took her gentle way, And dropped her words and looks like flowers of spring, And though she died in youth, who but will say The world is better for her life's short day?

BLANTON, I Propi .etress nr. . - I ; - 1 To the Democratic Clubs of North Caro lina: Raleigh, N. C, July .17, 1SSS, At a meeting of the delegates rep resenting the Democratic Clubs of North Carolina, at the National Con vention lately held in Baltimore, it was deemed advisable to call a convention of Democratic Clubs of the State for the purpose of forming a State Associ ation, and the undersigned, members for North Carolina of the general com mittee of the National Association, were instructed to call such convention and fix the time and place fot holding the same. The committee therefore invites eve ry Democratic Clubs formed or to be formed in the state, to send delegates to a convention to be held at Morehead Citv, N. C, on Wednesday, the loth day of August, 18SS. To provide for the gathering of del egates and to form a basis of organiza tion until otheiwise ordered by the convention, the iollowmg provisions have been adopted : Each club shall be entitled to five delegates. Clubs of oyer one hundred members to be entitled to one addition al delegate for each huudred or frac tion over fafty. The certificate of the presidents and secretaires of clubs will constitute cre dentials for delegates. Such certifi cates should, in all cases, set forth the actual number of members borne on the club roster at the time of nam ing delegates. Delegates will be entitled to reduced rates of board at Morehead City and to special railroad and steamboat rates to and from Morehead City during the convention. Presidents and secretaries of clubs are requested to forward to the secre-1 tary of this committee the titles of their organizations and the names of their officers. In the progress of arrangements for the conventions, statements will be prepared from time to time of what has been accomplished, signed by the chairman and secretary of this com- mitiee. These will be given out to the Democratic press for promulgation and in ail cases may oe regaraea as 11 specially addressed to clubs. The objects of this association shall be : To foster the formation of Demo crat le clubs, to improve our methods of campaign work, to increase our fa cilities for promulgating Democratic principles, and to co-operate with the regular Democratic organization in promoting the success of Democratic measures and Democratic men. , To this end we invoke the co-opera tion of all good Democrats, ask the ac tive support and assistance of the Dem ocratic press throughout the state and invite the participation of our Demo cratic nominees; and we request that all our party organizations lend us their aid in making this occasion one of mighty demonstration. This committee, inspired by the views of many of our most sagacious and trusted party leaders, is .strongly impressed with the value of vigorous and aggressive clubs acting in aid of our party organization. We urge the formation of such clubs in every coun ty, city, village and township in the state, aud that their membership should embrace; eyery yoter of their re spective sections who expects to sup port our Democratic nominees at the polls in November next. We trust that all clubs will "be fully organized in time to send delegates to the convention. Ed. Chambers SMiTH,Chairm'n, and itaieign, ss. D. Preston Parr, Jr., Tarboro, Theo. F.

The English toque is much worn in Paris. v Late summer hats look like moving flower gardens. With crowns of wash fabrics come a parasols to match. Percale and challies in small pat terns are much worn. Dressy jackets are worn with plain gowns by fashionable girls. What is called the redingote gown is growing in popular favor. Carved amber bracelets are seen among late novelties in jewelry. There are evidence of. a return of fashionable favor to ral laces. Greens and browns in all shades seem to be the favorite colors this summer. Palest baby blue and black is a fashion able color combination at the moment Capotes are very small, but bonnets grow larger as the suramertide flows on to autumn. The bodice without any basque is al most universally favored by fashion able dressmakers. Very small black birds are sean amonorthe other trimmincs of black lace hats and bonnets. The objectionable features in this summer's styles are that skirts are too short before and too long behind. Fine armure silks in bird's-eye pat terns are in the looms of France in preparation for next seasons's wear, Elaborate hats, bonnets, and wraps but gowns of extreme simplicity are the rule for this summer's fasnions A new shade of tawny yellow is ti ger lily. It is seen in new tulles, gau zes, and piece laces for evening gowns The latest fancy parasol baa a handle covored with leather red, blue, 01 white and it is silver capped or mounted. The colored shoes are the "fad" of the fashionable on the other side, both men and women wearing them on oc casions when they look out of peace Finely dotted nainsook muslins, with one selonge rcallopped, are made np inty dainty dresses for watering- place wear by the best dressmakers. A late fancy in Paris is the wearing in the hair of tortoise shell combs and pins with heads of faceted steel flow ers that look like diamonds by gas light, Yokes of all kinds, square, round and pointed, smocked and tucked, plain and braided, and half yokes, are all POLITICAL POINTS. .

He will probably have the same luck in leading the Harrison forces as chair man of the Republican National com mittee. Jdaeon Teiegrapy. J. H. Wade of Ohio, the millionaire stockholder - in the Cleveland rolling mill?, was recently hailed as a note worthy eonvert to Harrison and high tariff. It now transpires that he has voted the Republican ticket since 1880. To Constant Reader. The Republi can candidate for Vice President of the United States is Levi P. Morton, of Wall street, New York. You err in supposing that the ticket reads: "For Secretary of State, James G. Blaine." Buffalo Courier. No honest man votes the Radical ticket this year because he hates law- yeis. (There are three lawyers on the Radical ticket and two lawyers on the Democratic ticket). If he says he hates lawyers and for that reason swallows Dockery and his tLsket, he is a liar he is a Radical and hates Democrats, ua matter what business or profession they have. State Chronicle.
