The jacket of grey our loved soldier boy wore. Can we ever forget when be joined the brave band, Who rose ia defence of our dear Southern land, And in his bright youth horned on to the fray, How proudly he donned it f the jacket of grey. His fond mother blessed him and looked up above, Commending to heaven the child of her love, What anguish was her's, mortal tongue can not say, When he passed from her sight in the jacket of grey. But her country had called, and she would not repine, Though costly the sacrifice placed on its shrine ; Her heart's dearest hopes on its altar she lay When she sent out her boy in the jacket of grey. Months passed and war's thunders rolled over the land, Unsheathed was the sword, and lighted the brand; We heard in the distance the sounds of the fray, And prayed for our boy in the jacket of grey. Ah ! vain, all, all vain were our prayers and our tears, The glad shout of viotory rang in our ears ; But our treasured oue on the red battle-field lay, While the life-blood oozed out on the jacket of grey. His young comrades found him, and tenderly bore The cold lifeless form to his home by the shore; Oh, dark were our hearts on that terrible day, When we saw our dead boy in the jacket of grey. Ah ! spotted and tattered, and stained now with gore, Was the garment which once he so proudly wore; We bitterly wept as we took it away, And replaced with death's white robes the jacket of grey. We laid him to rest in his cold narrow bod, And 'graved on the marble we placed o'er his head, As the proudest tribute our sad hearts could py, He never disgraced the jacket of grey. Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside, Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride ; For dear must it be to our hearts evermore. The jacket of grey our loved soldier boy wore. Charleston Xtws. GOVERNOR CASWELL LAYEra OF THE CORJfER-STOXE OF HIS MONUMENT A GRAND CELEBRATION AT KIN8TON ADDRESS OF GOV. JAR VIS TO THE PEOPLE. "The following was yesterday pre pared by His Excellency the Gov ernor: Executive Department, Raleigh, N. C, July 19, 1881. To the People of North Carolina : I was charged by the last General Assembly with the duty of erecting a monument to the memory of Gov. Richard Caswell, either in the town of Kinston or at his grave, three miles from the town, and a small but inad quate appropriation was made for that purpose. An association, however, composed of public-spirited men of Kinston and vicinity, was formed with a view of increasing the fund sufficiently to se cure the erection of a suitable monu ment, and upon their success I agreed to use the State appropriation to build the monument in that town. By the persistent effort of this asso ciation, and the liberality of the peo ple, a sufficient fund has been raised to secure quite an imposing monu ment. The 3rd of August being the anni versary of Gov. Caswell's -birthday, the association has designated it as the day on which the monument shall be unveiled. Senator Vance, at the request of the association, has con sented to deliver an oration on the oc casion. Several military companies will be present and participate in the ceremonies, and it is hoped that the Masonic fraternity will join with us in these services, in honor of one who held the highest offices in their order. Special trains will be run with great ly reduced rates of fare, so as to give the people an opportunity to attend. I hope to see large numbers of the people there to witness these interest ing ceremonies, and to do honor to the memory of this accomplished sur veyor, able lawyer, skillful financier, successful soldier, profound states man, devoted patriot and honest man. It is fit and proper, in these days of the assassin 'greed for the. emolu ments of office, that men should give a day to the memory of one ;jjrho served his country without stint and without compensation. I therefore invite the people to make the 3rd of August a general holi Jay throughout the State. . - I am your obedient servant, Thomas J. Jarvis, Governor.

It was a more decis ive battle than any other. If Stone wall Jackson had been at Gettysburg the result, I believe, would have been different."' "Did Lee lose any advantage by not accepting Gen. Longstreet s plan to march around and take position between Meade and Washington ?" "I think not. The less Longstreet has to say about the battle of Gettys burg the better for his military repu tation. To be sure, Lee. might have moved around and taken the position indicated, but he could not have forced Meade to attack . him. Meade was near his base of supplies and in his own country, and need not have made' battle for a month unless he chose, while Lee was in the enemy's country, away from his base of sup plies, dependent upon the country for ; support, and was obliged to fight be fore Meade had time to get re-enforce-ments Longstreet heard the firing on the night of the 1st of July, and. if ho i had moved up with his troopfl, cbufdf Ka vereached HoUnd Topbeforo a Federal soldier was on itv and no one questions the result that would have followed,,. It will not do for him to say that he had nci orders' to 'move. He rd -the firing and sH&l&yhave marched upon it. There were num erous instances -during Ihe Franco Prussian war of just such a situation as was presented to the two armies at Gettysburg, and never once did the reserves fail to march upon the firing when it began. Jt was a great mistake Iiat Longstreet did not do so. If we had won Gettysburg, the moral effect of that victory would have wrought peace," - Capt are of the Chatham Court House. July 5th was the centennial anni versary of the capture of Chat ham Court House by Col. David Fanning and his band of tories. It may not be interesting t - efore to refer now to this incident o ur Re volutionary history and nan-ate the details of an event that created such intense excitement thoronghout our county just one hundred years ago. ; On the 5th day of July 1781, David Fanning, a noted tory. received from Maj. Craig, the British commander at, Wilmington, the appointments of CdJojicl of the Loyal, MUitia .Ciut- harn and Randolph counties, and on the 12th of July he returned from Wilmington, and ordered a general muster at Cox's mill, at which place he established his head quarters. This mill was near the mouth of Mill creek in Randolph county, on the western bank of Deep river, about a mile above Buffalo Ford, and was thirty miles distant from this place. He at once organized his forces, ap pointed his officers and was ready for the field. Hearing that a court mar tial was to be held at Chatham Court House for the trial of several loyal ists, or tories, who had refused to bear arms, Fanning determined to signalize his first effort by a daring descent upon this place. At that time there was no such place as Pittsboro. the county 6eat being called Chatham court house and was situated across the creek half a mile southwest of the present town. The town of Pittsboro had no existence until some years after that date, on the 29th of Decem ber, 1785 an Act of the General As sembly being passed authorizing the changing of the county site to its present location and naming it Pitts boro. Fanning having received intelli gence about the court martial at once marched his band towards the court house, camping that night -about twelves miles from here. Early next morning he hurried on and arriving there about-7 o'clock surrounded the place, but finding that the members of the court-martial had dispersed the evening before and would not meet until 8 o'clock, he posted pickets on the roads leading into the place and captured them as they came in. He captured fiftyjthree prisoners, among them being the Colonel, Major and all the militia officers of the county, except two; also one Con tinental Captain and three members of the Legislature. As soon as these prisoners were secured Fanning re turned to Cox's mill, where he parol ed all except fourteen, whom he con ducted to Wilmington and delivered to Maj. Craig. It was a most daring exploit and was completely sucf-eful. Those old Revolutionary Challi t nites must have been rather su.yi-ij.-d on the morning of the l"tu ni . I78i. when, as they were entering thei;4 county site, not dreaming of an ..-Tieiny being near, they found themselves halted, arrested and carried oit by a band of tories. On the one huii'lreth anni versary of such an event it is proper that we should call It t o the attention of our countymen; hence this bit of Revolutionary history. Chatham Record. Strange Story of the Missing Bullet. The whereabouts of the missing bul let, the first fired by the assassin Gui teau at the President, remained a niystery until yesterday, when Kris toph Plockechis, a Polish glazier, re siding at 913 3d street northeast, ap peared at the District Attorney s of fice and produced!. Jt-f will-be re membered that aftef'itvas rleftnitely ascertained that this ball had gone in a southeasterly direction (passing through one oj the doorways of the ladies' room at the depot) a thorough but unavailing search was made for it, and it was thought that itl might have been imbedded. in apiece; of bag ging at the southeast corner of the building. It now appears that at the time of the shooting Plockechis, the glazier, went in the main room of the depot withhis lc.it a box eontai ing some panes of window glass, knive and putty waiting an oppor tunity to get a $10 bill changed.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one sex to dissolve the ; forced and disa greeable bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the rank and station to which they aspire in the grand arena nf life, a decent respect for the opinions of mandkind requires that they should give to the world a piece oistwo of their mind. We hold these troths to be selfevi dent: that all "men are, by nature equal amongst themselves, but far inferior to woman ; that by continu ous practice for nearly six thousand years they have burdened and op pressed the t opposite sex, that they are in the mam, and some of them in particular, conceitsdand arrogant, and presumptuous ; - that they nave indulged in their petty tyrannies un til forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Prudence would dictate that a gov erment long established should not be thrown off without sufficient cause : but when a long train of abuses and unsurpations and downright mean ness, evinces a settled and fixed pur pose on the part of men to reduce women to a state of abject obedience, it then becomes the inalienable right of the oppressed to rise in the st rength of their womanhood and assert the superiority to which. they are so just ly entitled by nature. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world. '. ; - They, the aforesaid men, have re fused assent to our government, so wholesome and necessary for their good. ; They have persistently- refused to yield to us the "last word," so dear to every one of us. They insist on the utmost stolid ity when we are delivering in dra matic style little private conversa tions known as "Caudle lectures." They heap insult on us by calling us "old maids," if ; we assert our rights and refuse tq form a matri: monial alliance with any of them. They become perfect nuisances when they find buttons wanted, or garments not fitting with mathemati cal niceity. They make bears of themselves when the bread is overdone, or the coffee too hot or cold; They meanly refuse new bonnets and shawls, when they know our hearts are set on them. They admire strange and unknown women too much, while we at home are considered nobodies. They are, in the main , fools. We, therefore, declare ourselves free of all allegiance heretofore forc ed from us and demand a new adjust ment of the relations between the sex es; and, to secure the same, we re ly implicitly on our ton -lies and tears. j Another Comet. Rochester, N. Y July 16. Dr. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner observatory, yesterday received a letter from J. M. Schoeberle, of Ann Arbor, Mich., announcing that he had discovered nebulous matter in R. A., five hours forty -eight minutes de clination north thirty-eight degrees fortv-five minutes, but daylight Ob scured its identity. Dr. Swift this morning reported that he discovered the matter in constellation Auriga; and it is quite bright, being larger and more luminous than the one discov ered May 1 by Dr. Swift. Its center is strongly condensed, and from its motion apparently very slow. It can not be ascertained if ifis going direct ly toward or from the earth. It is the fourth comet discovered since jMay 1. Dr. Swift thinks from the present position of the comet that it is the expected comet of 1822. It is moving very slowly toward the north west. Schoeberle puts in a claim for the $200 Warner prized A Patent Outside. ' The following from the Norristown Herald may need a word of explana tion to be appreciated by the general reader. 'A patent outside' is the tech nical term applied to many country newspapers, the outside pages of which are printed in the large cities and sold by wholesale. The editor then has only to fill the inside pages with local news and j editorial. He stopped his wagon in front of. a print ing office, entered the presence of the editor and observed : ' 'I have a patent outside." "Well," interrupted the editor, "that is nothing to brag about.

In the years agone. when De Witt, Clinton county, was ths county scat and a right smart village in the woods, or on the way to be, the editor of its weekly paper had some aubscribers who paid in wood, others in produce, others in fur, and others yet who didn't pay at all. On of these latter class was named Lemon, but to squeeze anything out of him was next to impossible. He had excusses at his tongue's end for not paying, and the longer the debt stood the more reasonable his excuses seem ed to hisrraditorv day. the ed itor met him on the street, and aftar a general greeting began on him with : "Mr. Lemon, you have been owing me for two years. " "Yes, but I had bad luck in my su- gor-bush." "But you might have brought wood." "So I should, but I broke two new axes and couldn't buy another." "I offered to take it out in turnips and corn." "I know, but the crows ate my corn up and the Injuns stole all my turn ips." "Well, how are you getting along now f" asked the editor. "First-rate." "Have you a good run of sugar?" "Yes." "Corn doing well.'" "Splendid." ' "Wheat all right V "Yes, all right." "Well, if corn, wheat. potatoes and turnips turn out good, and you keenjj well, and you have no losses, will you pay me in the fall V The farmer scratched his head and took a full minute to think ovur it be fore he replied : ' 'That's an honest debt and orter be paid, but I won't positively agree to square 'up this fall until I know what sort of a corn season we are to have !" It is needless to say that hejiever squared. Dt-troit Free Press. Hints in Regard to Ijijrutuinjc. In a recent article on this subject a well-known scientific writer says: "It is never too soon to go in the house when a storm is rising. When the clouds are fully charged with electricity they are most dangerous, and the fluid obeys a subtle attrac tion which acts at great distances and in all directions. People should not be foolhardy about sitting on porches or by open windows, wheth er the storm is hard or not. Mild showers often carry a single charge which falls with deadly effect. It may or may not be safe to stay out ; it is safe to be in the house with the windows and doors closed. The dry air in a house is a readier conductor than the damp air outside, and any draught of air invites it. People are vary ignorant or reckless about light ning. I have seen a girl of eighteen crying with fear of hghtning, and running every other moment to a window to see if the storm was not abating: unconscious that she was putting herself in danger. If every one would hurry to shelter as soon as a storm-cloud was coming, and if they would shut the doors and win dows, and keep away from them af terwards, and from wires, stove pipes, mantles, heaters and mirrors, with their silvered ' backs, which carry electricity, and keep away from lightning rods and their vicinity, and from metal water spouts, with good rods on their houses, they might dis miss the fear of lightning from their minds, so far as it is a thing of reason and not impression." The Artesian Well at Durham. Taking much interest in this work, both from its scientific and economic bearings, we pay it frequent visits, one of which we made on Friday last. The damage done to the der rick by the storm having been repair ed, work has been actively resumed, progressing at the rate of from fif teen to twenty feet a day. The depth on Friday was 1,0721 -2 feet. The stratum passed through shows little marked change, being white sand stono, which succeeds the red and other dark colors. The debris brought up by the cleansing tub looks like beach sand. It is intere jjtj ing to watch the descent and ascjeqt of this tube, which is of ; heavy cop per, about four inches' in diameter, and eight feet long, proyided.witp upward opening valve which adtnjts the debris when it touches tha bottom, and closes when the tube iir brought up.

"Peacefully if I can, forceply if I must," remarked the dentist. "Tooth is mighty and must pre vail," replied the patient, as the den tist lost his grip and fell on the floor. "Well begun is half done," he said, getting a new grip. . 1 "All's swell that ends swell,' the patient rejoined, clasping his swollen jaw tenderly. "Ruin seize thee, roofless king," the doctor snarled, as the tooth broke off. - , ' "A thing of rooty," howled the vic tim, "ia a jaw.y forever."
