Governor of the State of North Carolina.
3D. That we win support the nominee of said Con-
yention and use all honorable means to secure his
3d., That while the Democrats of Cabarrus Coun-
twill sustain with pleasure any of the distin-
aguished gentlemen whose names have been mention
ed in connection with the ONCE they would respect
fully recommend the Hon. John w. Ellis as their
first choice as being the individual most likely to
unite the party and secure success. &
4th. That we cordially approve of the policy adop-
ted by Gen. Pierce. That VIC recognise in him a
consistent, firm and able statesman, who has dis
charged the duties of his high trust without refer

he amply receives from the people of the United

BURNING L EFF1ev. The Buffalo Courier very
truly says: Our political history dscloses the GU
rious fact that no Individual has been burnt in
efigy in this country for any act he may have COM
mitted as public man, whose popularity has not
been materially increased by the operation"
The Courier continues: " Burning in ef6gy has
been a common affair since the organization of the
government In l776, George Washington, Patrick
Henry and John Hancock were burnt in efigy in
the streets of our cities. In 1900 Thomas Jeffer-
SON was burnt in efigy, because he advocated the
rights of the people and opposedthe property quail
fication of voters In 1872, James Madison was
burned in efigy, because he advocated the war with
England which secured to American seamen their
rights. In 1885, Andrew jackson was burnt in eff
fgy, because he crushed the famous sySndling con-
Germ called the United States Bank" and beat
the British at New Orleans in1 S14 In 1916 George
NJ. Dallas was burned in efgy because he voted for
the peoples tariff, which is now in operation, and
which did not make the grass grow in the middle of
the streets of our cities, many of the cfoakers
predicted it would But no man, we believe, has
in this country had the honor Of being SO frequently
subjected to this species of federal indignation as the
distinguished senator from Illinois"

The HOME MOTHER. Some one, writing for the
Masonic Mirror, has drawn charming picture of a
home-lovng, child-loving mother:
ave must draw line, ay, broad line, between
her and the frivolous butterfly of fashion, who hits
from ball to opera and party, decked in rich robes,
and followed by a train hollow and heartless as
hersel-she who forgetful of the holy task assigned
her, neglects those who have been given IN her
charge and leaves them to the care of hirelings,
while she pursues her giddy round of amusements.
Not so our houe-motAer! blessings be on her head.
The heart warns see her in her daily routine OF
pleasant duties. How patiently she sits, day after
adornment for her little aockl And how proud and
pleased is each little recipient of her kndness How
the little face dimples with pleasure, and the bright
eyes grow still brighter, mamma decks them with
much warmer and more comfortable they feel, If
mamma wraps them up before they go to SCHOOL,
No one but her warm the mits and oyershoes, OF
tie the comforters around the necksl
There is peculiar charm about all she does-the
precious mother They could not sleep, nay, for
that matter she could not if she failed visit their
chamber, and with her soft hands arrange them
comfortably before she slept Her heart thrills with
gratitude to her Creator she looks on those sweet
blooming faces; and when their prayers are done,
she imprints a goodnight kiss on each rosy little
mouth 1t may be, too, a tear will start LOT one
little nestling laid in its chill narrow bed for whom
her maternal care is no longer needed sleeps,
though the seet and snow descends, and the Wild
winter winds howl around its head. 1t needs no
longer her tender carei A mghtier arm enfoids IT
1t is at rest She feels and knows that 1t IS right
and bends meekly to the Hand that sped the shalt
and turns with warmer love, if it be possible to
those little ones who are left her to love- How ten
derby she guards them from every danger, and with
what strong untiring love, she watches by their
bedside when they are I'LL Blessings be on the gen.
tie, loving home mother. Angels must look with
love upon her acts Her children shall rise up and
call her blessed, and the memory of her kindly
deeds will enfold her as garment <eesssss
