The Political Campaign in North Caro-
lima.

RALEIGH, April 1.-The canvass upon the
new constitution is going on briskly. Mr.. Hol-
den, the Radical candidate for Governor, and
Mr.. Ashe, the Conservative candidate, are both
in the field. Each side claims the victory. The
white people of the State have not been so
much aroused in any election since 1874.
ALI over the State the excitement is intense.
Ex-Governors VIM. a. Graham and Vance, and
other leading men are canvassing the State. 1t
is calculated that not less than two hundred
speeches are being made daily in the different
counties.
The Conservatives are more energetic tina n
the Radicals.

name of 'jerico. He is a mare. I have
seen remarkable horses before, but none so
remarkable as this. / wanted a horse chat

an idea that shying indicated spirit. If l
was correct, l have got the most spirited
horse on earth. He shes at everything he
comes across, with the utmost impartiality.
lie appears to have mortal dread OF tele-
graph poles, especially; and il is fortunate
that these are on both sides Of the road. be-
cause, as It is now, Il never fan of twice on
the same side. IF / feil on the same side
always, 1t would get to be monotonous after
While. This creature has got scared at
everything he has seen to-day, except a hav
wagon. he walked up 20 that with an in
trepldlty and recklessness that were aston
ishIng. And It would fill any one with ad-
miratlon to see how he preserves his self
possession in the presence Of a barley sack.

this horse some day.

but when be tries to kick fiy of the TOP of

variety. He Is going to get himself into
trouble that way, some day. He reaches
around and bites my legs, too. / don t care
particularly about that, only don't ike 10

l think the owner of this prize had
wrong opinion about him. He had an idea
that he was one of those fiery, untamed
steeds, but he IS not Of that character. I
know the Arab has this idea, because when
he brought the horse to me for inspection
in Beyrout, he kept jerking the bride and
shouting IN Arabic. Hot win you2 Do

THE NEWFOUNDLAND DoG.-A gentle
man connected with the Newfoundland fish
cry was once possessed of dog Of singular
fidelity and sagacity. On one occasion a
boat and crew in his employ were IN circum-
stances Of considerable peril, just outside of
a line Of breakers, which, owing to some
change in the wind or weather, had, since
the departure of the boat, rendered the re-
turn passage through them extremely haz
ardous- The spectators on shore were quite
unable to render any assistance TO their
friends afOat Much time had been spent,
and the danger seemed to be increased rath-
er than diminished Our friend, the dog,
looked on for q length Of time, evidently
aware of there being great cause for anxiety
in those around. Presently, however, he
took to the water, and made his way through
to the boat The crew supposed he wished
to Join them, and attempted to induce him
to come on board; but no be would not go
within their reach, but continued swimming
about a short distance from them. After a
while, and several comments on the peculiar
conduct of the deg, one, Of the hands sud
dealy OWNED his apparent meaning. Give
him the end Of a rope, he said, that Is
what be wants The rope was thrown
the dog seized the end in an instant, turned
round and made straight for the shore,
where q few minutes afterwards the boat
aud crew, thanks to the intelligence of their
four footed friend, were placed safe and un-
damaged. Was there no reasoning here?
no acting with view TO an end or for Civ
| en- motive2 Or was it nothing but ordinary
| instinct?
