Bzs~ Our friends of the Fayetteville Observer
are mistaken about Judge Ellis position at Ashe-
vile on internal improvements or at least so far
aiding the Coal Field Railroad is concerned.
The Observer seems to think that the Judge back
ed out from his position favoring that work. There
never was greater mistake. So far from backing
out, Judge Ellis in his Asheylle speech, declared
himself explicitly for the Fayetteville and Coal
Field Road. This has been his position through
out the canvass He opened the campaign IN
Charlotte, and comparing what he then said with
what he said in the East in the centre, and in the
Western portion of the State, we say he has not
changed. Why at Asheville he read from the
Observer and Journal, giving accounts of his
speeches in Fayetteville and Clinton, showing that
the position he then occupied he still maintained.
We call upon our Fayetteville friends to say if
anything could be tairer than that, and if they
have any cause to distrust him. We were much
surprised at the course Of the Observer in this
matter, believing that it pursued without good
cause. As Judge Ellis, at Ashevillc, still advo-
Gated the claims of the Coal Field Road, what
more can the Observer ask

BsE~ We see it announced that Mr. NIcRae is to

Of his native town, although his plans and schemes

that town choose to endorse him and refuse support
to it's true friend, let them do SO; Judge Ellis will
be elected if he does not get vote in Cumberland

Treatise on the Law, of Railways.
By Hon. Isaac F. Redfeld.

The legal profession and the business
public, generally will be pleased to know
that this publication is completed: vol
ume of seven hundred and thirty pages,
Qarge pages in the best style of Little
& Browns publications, and for Law
Book, of unusually noble exterior, with
the above title, has come to our hand.
Without exception, it is perfect model
of book, in the order of its arrangement.
The subdivisions, of chapters, the careful
headings for each subdivision, the full
index, and the table of cases, all show
that this book is made to be used. 1t is
not short labor to read Ithe work, and
one can only judge of the treatment of
subjects, in SO brief study by sample.
The treatise is obviously exhaustive, 60
ing to the foundation.
COMMON CARRIER" is of itself a
volume. R. R. Companies are traced
from the first promotion-charter--or-
1 ganization-survey of medication
proceedings as to land owners,-injuries
to private property,-fences,-ha6stSties
of all kinds-remedies against-right tc
mortgage-and all the infinite variety
of questions which naturally arise from
the vast machinery of a nation of railways
1t is indeed a wide field: and the learned
author has performed a most arduou'
labor-well and faithfully done we be
lieve. As treatise, upon this branch o
, Law, by Vermont man, we are prouc
of it. Orleans County will have no rea
son to blush, that the author was to he
"manor born" We commend this bool
: to lawyers as sndispensable-to the gen
eral reader, as highly usetul and to prac
tical R. R officers and business men, a
a faithful counsellor.

and, as it went floating off upon the wa
ter, it fell around those listeners like a
spell.
The young knight gazed pensively
down into that fair face, with an angel
form stealing in upon his waking dream.
And the old boatman again stood in the
old church, with a gentle form by his
side and a small, white hand prisoned in
his.
Thus they dreamed and listened, till
the dark walls of the city hung over them;
then they looked for the strange boat,
but it was gone. Yet, had they looked
in the shadow of the church wall, they
might have seen a low, crouching figure
it was the old pilgrim.
An hour after, that strange man was
silently stealing through the halls and
corridors Of the royal residence. He
seemed like one well acquainted with all
its windings, for hall after hall was
threaded, until he came to a chamber ;
here he paused for a moment, till he ap-
peared to have satisfied himself that he
was not followed; then he passed thro'
the entrance. There was no light within
but the pale moonbeams, half shut out
by the heavy drapery, and so the shad-

CHAPTER V.

Bravely had the inhabitants of Peron-
ne withstood the siege, and saved the
place from storm and life once again
rushed in exciting currents throughout
the great arteries of the city. The cam
paign was over, and Francis had with
drawn to Marseilles.
The bright, warm light of day had ia
ded into the milder and cooler one of
evening; and Marseilles, rising from the
moonlit tide like some city of tabled
splendor, seemed bathed in silver flood
of beauty. Off upon the silent sea,
where the soft chimes Of the evening bell,
fell in faint, swelling sounds, floating a
light boat-now half in shadow, now in
light, as it kept its way towards the city.
A young knight sat in the stern of the
boat under siken canopy. A youth sat
at his feet, upon pile Of cushions, his
earnest gaze fixed on his companion
His features were of almost girlish beau
ty, in their delicate mould, and the eyes
were liquid with woman's softness. Over
his neck and shoulders fell mass of dark
auburn ringlets, giving to him femenine
appearance, that lost nothing in the slight
graceful figure, clad in the picturesque
Highland costume.
The two were Arnaud De Bourn and
his young page, Allan More, who had
joined him in the campaign and who,
though of fragile form, welded his light
falchion with a soldiers skill. Once
when in the hottest of the battle, the youth
had turned the sword-thrust from De
Bourn's heart and, since then, strong
love had bound them together.
They had left the city's wall at sunset
for sail upon the blue Mediterranean
and were now returning. As they lef
the pier, they noticed another boat sho
out in the same direction, and it was still
on their course. They had been speak
ing of the strange boat, and Beppo, tn
old boatman, though no less strangely {
it than they.
Then you know this singular voyage

playfully into the boys face but ther

CHAPTER VI.

YEARLY, most YEARLY, did the hours
and days glide on to the fair, child-like
Magdalene De Nalois. But hours pres-
nant with sorrow, as well as those freight
ed with joy, are borne in the same cur
rent to the gulf of oblivion, and SO these
would pass.
The festivities and rejoicings at the
kings return sent life-joyful, buoyant
life-in quickened currents through
Blois 4; yet they brought no gladness to
the heart of that young daughter of the
Fleur De Lis. True, her royal sire had
returned, and for this she felt very CRATE
full but there was one in Marseilles who,
to her, was the human star of her life
Armand De Bourn had returned not
and, when she spoke of him to her sire,
there was an evasion in his answers that
left her strangely in doubt, and checked
the wild food of questions that flowed to
her lips. And so she dreamed on in 81.

The early light of morning rested or
the Rhone, and drifted in through the in
terlaced branches of the strong trees
falling upon the winding paths in bars o
pale aureate, alternating with shadows
while the air seemed fretted with tn,
song of birds.
AT this early hour young form stol
through the courtyard to the old chapel
1t was Magdalene De Valois. Strang
, and undefnable emotions, alternating wit
JOY and sadness,-joy at her fathers SAT
t return, sadness at De Bourn's long at

and so she had wandered out to the oil

i fearful night, with his strange compar
