Why North Carolina Receives no Immi.
grafton.

The extraordinary rush of immigrants to
this country during the three months ending
June 30, of the present year, is worth noting.
The total number was 165, ,9S7-being We Y
large increase over the same period in previ.
Gus years. The class of immigrants, too, is
unusually good We find among them, for
example, 60 clergymen, 65 physicians, IS ar
lists, $3.50 mechanics, 1888 bakers, 2S3 butch
ers, IA seamstresses, 733 shoemakers, 756 tall
ors, LOSS masons, 1918 of miscellaneous
trades, $50 clerks, 1858 farmers, 1926 la
borers, 1,943 traders, 3,108 miners, 4S6 mar
liners, $500 servants and 1853 of other
specified occupations. Again it is worthy
OF note that while Ireland sends &C..
1873, Great Britain I" (meaning, We
may suppose, England, Ireland and
Wales,) sends 33, STA. Germany, Aus.
tria and Prussia head the list with $1,000.
ment is still strong, as, indeed it has now
been for years, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark being credited for these three months
with 29,109. France, on the other hand,
sends the strikingly small number of 153,
and Italy but 105.
The above statistics of immigration are
taken from the NJ Y. Times. Of these i'm
migrants how many will North Carolina getl
Few, if any. And why No State in the
Union offers greater national inducements
or is more anxious to receive immigration,
but they do not come and will not so long
as the papers of the country are filled
with reports of Ku Klux outrages com,
mitted in certain portions of the State
Those who read these accounts believe that
all of the State is under the control of these
assassins. Thus the outrages of the Ku Kluz
although confined to few counties arc
damaging every interest of the mhos
of the State an ! are injurng every business
man and property holder in North Carolina.
1t is time for the business men and all res
pectable men in North Carolina to use every
effort to put down an organization so dis
graceful and so damaging to the interests
of the State.

DAMASCUS, THE ETERNAL L~-Damascus
dates back anterior to the days of Abra-
ham, and is the oldest city in the world 1t
was founded by Uz, the grandson of Noah
"The early history of Damascus is
shrouded IN the hoary mists Of antiquity. "
Leave the matters written of in the first
eleven chapters f the Old Testament out,
and no recorded event had occurred in the
whole to show but Damascus was in ezis-
tence to receive it. Go back as far as you
will into the vague Past, there WAS always
a Damascus. In the writings Of every
country for more than four thousand
years, its name has been mentioned and It's
praises sung. To Damascus years are on
ly moments; decades only fitting trifles
of time She measures time not by days
and months, but by the empires she has
seen rise aud prosper, crumble to ruin.
She is a type of Immortality. She saw the
foundation of Baalbec, and The bes, and
Ephesus laid she saw them grow into
mighty cities, and amaze the world with
their grandeur, and she has lived to see
them desolate, deserted and given to the
owls and he bats. She saw the Iaraelit>
ish empire exalted, and saw it annihila-
ted. She saw Greece rise and flourish for
two thousand years. and die. In her old
age. she saw Rome built she saw it over
shadow the world with lis power; she saw
it perish. The few hundred years of Ge>
noese and Venitian might and sPlendor
were, to grave old Damascus, only scin-
tilIation hardly worth remembering. Da-
mascus has seen all that has occurred on
the earth and still lives. She has looked
upon the dry bones of ttolsand empires,
and she will live TO see the tomb of thous-
and more before she dies. Though anoth-
er claims the name, old Damascus is, By
right, the Eternal City"

but of no great culture, who had an un-
common fine taste in paintings and en-
gravings-the only evidence of refine>
ment he ever exhibited. A clergyman of

his fondness for such things, introduced to
him an agent of a publishing house in the
city who were issuing Pictorial Bible

of work exhibited to the lawyer was a
very beautiful one, and he readily put
down his name for a copy. But in the
progress of the publication the character
Of the engravings sapidly deteriorated,
much to the disgust of the enlightened

Joseph, very indifferently done, provoked
him beyond endurance, and seizing sever
al of the numbers, he sailed forth to re-
proach the parson for leading him into
such a bad bargain. ''Look at these
wretched cratches," said he, turning the

Animal intelligence.

A gentleman residing in one of our ru-
raj villages had a pony, a lively, doc,ie,
and very active animal. whose principal
service was TO carry his mistress ont rid
ing every fine day, her uncie, the gen:e-
man, riding his horse. In their rides
they had TO pass a farmhouse, just over

horses, and particularly the pony. at

spoken to, and requested 10 Keep has dog

He replied, 'His deg has as good
right on the road as any other puppy,
and that he would not tie him 3D."
Then" said the uncle, 'I'l shoot
your dog the next time he flies oui at US
in this way" and 50 he left.

THE NEW YEAR.
BY FANNIE G. WILLARD.

Listen how the wind is moaning,
Sighing for the dying year,
And the shadows darken, lengthen,
Coming nearer-yet more near
Pale and wan the old year hngersI
As ID greet the coming SOM
But his reign is nearly ended,
And his work is almost done.
All the weird and leafess branches,
Signing, stretch their arms in vain
In the coming, happy spring time
They will wake - life again.
But the voices that are calling
For the hopes that now are dead,
And the hearts that yet are breaking
With the sorrows they have wed.
Cannot soon give over grieYing,
For the souls so overcast
Cling with thoughts all sweet and tender
To the mem'rieS of the Past.
One long wail-the solemn presence
OF the dying Year is gone.
Grant us, Lord, Thy love and blessing
In the New Yer now begun!
Hast'ning on with eager footsteps,
Heralded by smiling cheer,
He is with Us-here among Us,
Crowned with light-the gay New Year!
Merry voices greet his coming;
Songs float freely in the air;
There Is happiness and giadness
Round about US everywhere
Young and happy hearts, and loving,
May all peace kinu Heaven allow!
There's much well worth the gaining:
Lie is all before you now.
Let your voices ring out clearly,
Music sounCinG TAR and near;
All good hopes and JOY attending
Wishes ior the glad New ear.
