''fTow can the red men be forgotten, when s.
many Of our States and Territories, bay
lakes and rivers are indelibly stamped b
names of their giving?"
Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
Their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid fhe forests where they roam'd,
There rings no hunters shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.
IT'S where Ontario's blllow
Like oceans surge is curlei.
Where strong Niagara's thunders wake
o The echo of the world,
Where red Missouri bringeth
Rich tribute from the West,
And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps
On green Virginiais breast.
Ye say their cone-like cabins.
That clustered DER the vale,
Have disappear'd, as withered leaves
Before the Autumn's gale;
But their memory liveih on your hills,
Their baptism on your shores,
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect Of yore.
Old Massachusetts, wears il
Within her Iordly crown,
And broad Ohio bears il
Amid her young renown.
Connecticut hath wreathed it
Where her quiet foliage waves.
And bold Kentucky breathes it hoarse
Through all her ancient caves.
Wnchusett hides its lingering voice
Within its rocky heart,
And Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart.
Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
Doth seal the sacred trust,
Your mountains build their monument,
Though We destroy their dust.

~ @s- ~-sN oEAAhIS IN OINCAN-
NAT.-Our worthy frisnd of the
Cincinnati Gazette made a visit the
other day to the spirit-rappers, and
thus he relates his experience:
We accompanied friend in a visit
to the ladies now stopping at the
Walnut Street House, who profess
to be in communication with the
spirit world, and, as we are al our
post to keep this world advised of
all that is strange or startling, we
now give our experience.
We were introduced into a room,
across u portion of which extends a
plank partition, and upon a sofa in
front OF this, with three card-tables
in front Of them, sat three ladies'
One elderly, the second a girl, the
third a woman about twenty-five
years of age. They appeared to us
very lady-like, and rather modest
than otherwise. We were invited
TO seat ourselves at the tables, and
in a few moments the rappiRgS be-
gan. Our companion took a pencil
and wrote name. of which we give
the initials, ]. A. P, and asked if the
spirit whose name he had written
would communicate. Immediately
a number Of quick raps were heard,
that we were told indicated the az
firmatiVe. Still holding his hand
oyer the name our friend lUrote,
"ln what year did you die7''
And said will the spirit answer
ihail
Answer-lS22.
"Whers did you diei'
Acknowledgment City.
"Where are you buried'"
Answer-Cincinnati.
Now, in these, and dozens more
OF a private character, still more
startling, that we cannot publish, all
answered correctly. Our friend was
careful to keep the question and re-
sponse 10 himself. We were COM
Pletely puzzled, and as Greelv, Bry-
ant, Goodwin, and many others have
been, we are not ashamed to own up.
But Immediately upon the track Of
this came an evidence that was not
so conclusive.
Our friend wrote the name Of
number of diseases and IS k d,
"which Of these have | most to fearl"
Ans-Blindness.
As he has been threatened with
this for several years, the response
was certainly very frightful. But
while dwelling upon the sad news
Just given, the al phabet was called
for and this sentence spelled out:
"Do not fear him--we are ever
with you" @
Now, to what does that him refer?
He must remember our friend asked
aloud, which of these have | most 10
fear. and, a by-stander might infer he
had written the names Of men ene-
mics he dreaded--and then the answer
spelled out would directly apply. And
so it would appear the mediums had
some control over the noise. A spirit
able TO respond to ones thoughts would
certainly make no such error as this.
Yet, when we remember that in the
first-instance a correct account was CIV
en- Of a man, MANY years dead, and that
Of claim Of very complicated na-
ture-even to giving the rame Of Judge
McLean--we must confess we are much
puzzled. Accounting for the very Pc
culiar noise is small satisfaction. as the
strangest part is the wonderful inteli-
gence that is communicated. We will
keep our readers advised.

LARGE YIELD OF WHEAT.

Mr.. William Holloway, of this County, who
sides about miles from this place the Hills
borough Road, authorizes US state that he sowed
down last Fall five bushels of early purple straw
wheat, and that he has reaped from the same one hum
dred and sirty-Oo and half bushels which is yield
of fraction over thiry-two bushels to the bushel
sowed
Mr.. Holloway calls our attention to the fact that
lately published statement to the effect that
gentleman in AnsoR had obtained from the sowing of
fourteen bushels, three hundred and nnetysx BUSH
els, which yield of fraction over twenty eight
bushels to the bushel sowed. This was an excellent
yield, but Mr.. Holloway's is ahead of this by several
notches.
We are not informed, in either case, of the num-
Der of acres from which this extraordinary yield
was produced.
| The present year has been somewhat remarkable
so far as we can learn, for good wheat crop. II

LATE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

Another dreadful fire visited San Francisco on the
22d June, which laid in ashes the very heart of the
City. The fire extended over ten squares, burning
through Montgomery, Dupont, Washington, Mer-
chant and other streets, comprising the business por
,on of the place. The loss is estimated at from two
to five millions of dollars.
The fire was the work of incendasies, who have
been arrested by the vigilant committee.
Many lives said to have been lost by this terri
BILE fire, which, coming closely the heels of that
from which the city had not yet recovered, inics
severe blow in the prosperity of the inhabitants.
Active preparations were making to rebuild the
burnt district, and when the steamer left sub

C. u B A,

We have no further intelligence from Cuba. The
steamships Cincinnati and Pampero sailed from New
Orleans on Sunday night last, for Cuba. Gen. Lopez
went in the Pampero, with men and arms for the
patriots.
Hundreds of men, it is reported, are now on their
way from other points, to join the patriots.
The Southern Press states that it is informed on
good authority, that the Captain-Gene of Cuba,
Concha, recently told of our naval officers that
if it was necessary to secure the Spanish authority in
Cuba, the slaves would be liberated and armed against
the patriots, and the guns of Moro Castle would be
turned on Havana. Such threat may alarm chill
dren and weak men, but it will only serve to arouse
and animate those who are striking for liberty. If
this demon of Captan-General were to execute his
purpose, the Island would be torn from his grasp by
American citizens in less than ninety days.
We shall doubt have stirring news from Cuba
in the course of few days.

THE ELECTION IN THIS STATE.

THE ELECTION IN THIS STATE.
On Thursday last the people of this State voted
for nine members of Congress. There was but little
excitement except in the First, Third and Eighth Dis
trics: but in these, nearly if not all the votes lave
been polled We receive returns in this State
quite slowly, but we shall probably hear enough by
our next issue justify opinion as to the result
But whatever may have been the result in this
State, it must be borne in mind, as matter of JUS
ce to the Democratic party, that they are laboring
under great disadvantages account of the manner
in which the Districts were laid off by tine " hlgs
in 1857 In accordance with custom and usage,
the State was apportioned in 1912, by the LeglsIa-
ture, and under this apportionment the Democrats
succeeded in electing majority of the members !;
but this arrangement did not suit the Nhig leaders.
who were as hungry then as they are now tor the
spos and so they changed the Districts, by strict
" party vote in the Legislature of 1916, and gave
themselves six out of the nine members They piled up
the Democratic votes by thousands in this District and
in the Wilmington District; and they SO arranged
the Counties of Catawba. Lincoln, Castor, Meek
leuourg and Union, as to put them in minority In
other Districts while they secured to themselves, as
they believed beyond all question, the First, Second,
Thrd, Fou1iI, Eighth, and Ninth Districts. In the
Third District their majority at that time was about
two thousands votes, and in the Eighth District
from FIVE to eight hundred These are the Districts
in which the strongest efforts have recently been
made by the two parties-Messrs. Caldwell and
Dockery being the candidates the Third, and Messrs
Kufin and Stanly in the Eighth.
The Democrats had a majority in the last Leg
iSlure and MIGHT have altered the Districts by Sinp
y repeating the Whg act and putting in force again
the act of 1912 but they wisely determined to leave
the whole matter with the people, and abide their de-
csion at the polls, notwithstanding the injustice ane
oppression thus deliberately put upon them.
The regular time for laying off the Districts vii

the Democrats will have majority in the Legisla
ture and they will then proceed to this work in
spirit and manner which will, if such a thing be a
all possible, teach these Whg leaders lesson of jus
tce and moderation which they will not soon forget
We have stated these facts in order that our friend
at distance may know the true state of the case,
as to be able to form some idea of the odds agains
which we have had to contend. Ifdefeated, we sha
