North Carolina-lts Lesson.

It is not difficult to account for SO
marked a change Of political sentiment
in North Carolina, when we consider the
tactics which have been in control as the
representatives of the Republican party.
The policy adopted by Gov. Holden was
in orr opinion ill-advised, and precisely
such as was calculated to exasperatc the
pcople. and ALLEVIATE them from US. He
undertook to conduct the campaign upon
he ertreme proscriptire plon which has
been pursued in previous gears, and the
result has proved that he went the right
way to work to render tue Democrats
victorious. The appeal in behalf OF the
negro, which was the prcteNt oi Gov
Uo!dcn's extreme measures, was not re-
spondod TO, even by the freedmen them
selves. The whites were consolidated In
their opposition to what was regarded An
outrageous assumption of authority, and
an unnecessary exercise Of despote
Doper. The lesson of the campaign just
closed in North Carolina is one which
onght to be needed by the Republicans
managers in every Southern State, and
especially BY tho national committee at
Washington, now engaged in planning
the tactics upon which the several State
elections are to be prosecuted. The time
has passsd by for mere taaatical appeals
in behalf of Ne negro. ~ r. Times, Hcp'

POETFy
THE THREE LrTTLE CHAIRS.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming ofdays gone by;
The tear-drops fell on each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered a sigh
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sittng-room wall;
Old,iashioned enough as there they stood.
Their seats of flag and their frames Of wood,
With their backs SO straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his sihery head,
And with trembling voice ne gently said
Mother. these empty chairs
They bringus such sad, sad thoughts toni ght,
Wen put them forever out of sight
In the small, dark room up stairs"
But she answered +: Fathcss no, not yet,
For look at them, and fSt5et
That the children were away:
The boys come back. and or Mary, too,
Nth her apron on, OF checsered blue,
And sit here every day.
"Johnny still whittles q ships tall masts,
And Willie his ieaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patch work sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from these little chairs,
So softly that no one knows.
johnny comes back fiom the billow deep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep,
To say goodnight to me;
Mary's a wife and n mother no more,
But tired child whose playtime is DER,
And comes To rest at my knee.
So let them stand there, though empty now,
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne to pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above,
In our Sayior's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away

FoRMATIoN OF w.--When children
60 abroad in a clear morning, they often
find all the grass covered with drops OF
water, and sometimes the water even
drops from the trees, though the ground
is dry, aud there has evidently been no
rain in the night. They soon learn to
call these drops by the name Of dew but
whence and how comes dew on the
ground is puzzle. Well. there is al
ways more or less moisture in the air.
II there is cubic inch of water IN cubic
yard Of air, then the air is said to be
thoroughly impregnated and filed with
water In such case the smallest
amount of cold or absence of heat in
anything will cause little drops of dew to
settle on the surface. By n cubic inch or
yard is meant square space measuring
one inch or yard on every side. II you

inch, Then if you take c hex Of the
same form and size, and can fill it with
water extracted fiom vessel filed with
air, and of the same form as the box, but
measuring yards instead Of inches, You
would say that there had been a cubic
inch Of water in a cubic yard Of air. AL
most any substance will have more or
less dew on it when the air is IN such a
statc because few substances are warm
enough to prevent it, Then just in pro
portion rs there is less water in the air
must body or substance be cooled to
produce dew. The blades Of grass and
the leaves of trees being so thin are
quickly cooled by the air when the sun
goes down. They radiate or throw out
the warmth that is in them, and soon be-
come cooler than the air is. and then the
water that i, in the air begins at once to
settle on them, and in the course of u
clear night will collect there enough to
form the "dewdrops." There is never
any dew on the bare ground, because 1t
never gets cooler than the air, SO as to
cause the moisture to settle on it not of
a cloudy night because the clouds radiate
heat to the ground, which prevents the
leaves and grass from cooling, as n
cloudy night is always warmer than n
clear one would have been from the same
cause. The dew does not fall on the
leaves like rain, but collects from all di-
rcctions, an 1 it is not seen on the under
side, because that side is SO porous as TO

SEARCHING FOR THE NORTH POLE.
Since the year 1878 there have been,
according to French authority, actu-

in search of the North Pole. Notwith-

attempts, which demonstrate that such
a discovery is quite beyond the limits
of human undertaking, at least until
new principles are found that may be
used to Surmount present climatic OBJ

anxious to continue the efforts in this
