DEATH OF Col. W. J. HoKE.-We learn
from the Charlotte Observer, that this gen
tleman died in Columbia, s. c., on the 18th
inst. On Tuesday morning last, in Colum-
bia, he was in his usual health, and assisted
in marking and arranging some goods at
the store, and on going to breakfast, in COM
pany with his son, he was seized with a gid
diness as though he was going to faint, when,
in a few minutes, he dropped dead
Several physicians were called to his
aid but of no avail-the spirit had fled
to eternity. Colonel Hoke was an esti-
mable gentleman-one beloved by all who
knew him. He filled conspicuous positions
in the late war for the rights of the South.
and received severe wound by minnie
ball which, we have been informed, had
never been healed. The country has lost an
able man and his family has lost kind
and affectionate husband and father and
protector.
His remains passed through Charlotte
yesterday on its way to Lincolnton. -

in humble submission to this distressing, though

of the soul we have that charity which is the
bond of peace and perfection of every virtue to
tighten the passage through the dark night of

The final arrangementsfo for the match game
of Base Ball between the Mutuals of Will
mington and Westinghouse of Raleigh, was
completed on last Saturday between George
NJ Arnold, Director for the Mutual and Geo.
Stewart, President of the Westinghouse.
There will be quite party of eolored peo-
pie up from Wilmington, Nov I'd, to witness
this Base Ball match for championship
among the colored players of the State.
We learn that when the excursion party
from Raleigh went down to Wilmington,
May 2, 1870, to join in the 10Th Amend :
ment celebration, every kindness that could
be thought of was devised to make the
Raleighites" feel at home. In return it
is hoped that Raleigh will now ado like
wise. We further hear that the colored
Base Ball club of this city, will give grand
ball and banquet to their guests, the Cape
Fear Mutuals, on the night after the same.
We wish the whole thing a success, and
would urge upon the club promptness and
energy in the undertaking.

WHICH Is R1GHT.-Immediately after the
late election the Conservative Executive
Committee issued an address to the people of
the State, in which they declared that the
result "was not a party triumph" but an
uprising of the honest men of all parties
against fraud, corruption and dishonesty,
and in favor Of reform. Now certain Demo
cratic journals claim that it was a party tri-
umph, and nothing else, won by themselves
in spite of the moderate men. whom they
seem to be anxious to get rrd of. The mod
crate men hold the balance ofpower in the
State. to say the least of it, as the ultras will
see sooner or later, If they are determined to
see.-OM North State.

RAILROAD SIGNALS The varieties of the
"toot" of the locomotive, and gyrations of
the arms of the conductor by day, or lantern
by night, are about as intelligence to most
people as the first class Choctaw. The fol:
lowing will give the reader correct idea of
their Specification:
One whistle-"down brakes"
Two whistles -"off brakes"
Three whistles-"back up.''
Continuous whistles-"danger"
A rapid succession of short whistles is the
cattle alarm, at which the brakes will al
ways be put down.
A sweeping parting OF hands on level of
eyes is a signal to Ego ahead"
A downward motion of the hand, with ex-
tending arms, "to stop"
A reckoning motion of one hand ito
back"
A lantern raised and lowered vertically,
is signal for starting" swung at right an
giles or crossways the track, 'stop;" swung
in circle, "back the train"
A red flag waved upon the track must he
regarded as signal of danger. So of other
signals given with energy.
Hoisted at station, is a signal fora train

Stuck up by the roadside it is signal of

Senator Thurman, OF Ohio, is canvasing
that State for the Democracy, taking ground
that the thirteenth. fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments were not legally adopted and
are not therefore part of the Constitution
of the United States.-Erchange. no .ba
They have been declared to be part Of the
Constitution by the proper authority, and
have been recognized by the courts, both
State and Federal, as such. To simply de-
clare them null and void by Congress, as in
proposed by Judge Thurman, and many
other leaders of the Democratic party, is to
re- assert the Frank Blair doctrine, which
proved so disastrous to the party in 1868,
and which will prove still more dis
astrous to it in 1872, if adopted. With such
a plank in its platform the Democracy will
fail to carry several Southern States at the
next presidential election, upon " hich it now
calculates with confidence Thousands of
Conservatives supported Gov. Seymour. in
1888, On account Of bis known preference
for Chief Justice Chase, and his undoubted
conservatism, who would unhesitatingly
have supported Gen. Grant if Blair had been

A Nan H,rred against his will.


A most ludicrous scene transpired in q
place not thousand miles from the city Of
Louisville, one night, last week, which
though little annoying to the persons
Immediately concerned, was just SO innocent
and funny that we cannot refrain from CIV
ing the general outlines, suppressing names
of course
Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies
were visiting their cousin. another sprightly
and beautiful young lady, who like hel
guests, was of that happy age which turns
everything into fun and merriment. If the
truth were told, we fear we would have TO
record that these three misses were just a
little bit fast They were fond of playing
practical jukes, and were continually play
ing all sorts of pranks with each other. All
and cuddled in one bed. ao -iia
Two of the young ladies attended party
on the night in question, and did not get
home until half past 10 o'clock at night. As
it was late they concluded not to disturb
the household, so they quietly stepped into
this room through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they had left
for the party, young Methodist minister
called at the house where they were staying,
and craved for o nights lodging, which, of
course, was granted. As ministers always
have the best of every thing, the old lady
put him to sleep in the best room, and the
young lady, .Fannie) who had not gone tn
the party, was intrustcd with the duty Of
sitting up for the absent ones and inform
ing them of the change of rooms. She took
up her post in the parlor, and as the night
was sultry, sleep overcanie her, and she de-
parted ON an excursion to the land of
dreams. 1la E ~
We will now return to the young ladies
who had gone to their room through the
window. By the dim light of the moon
beams, as they struggled through the cur
tains, the young ladies were enabled to des-
cry the outlines of Fannie, Gas they supposedly
ensconsed in the middle of the bed. They
saw more, to wit, pair of boots. They saw
i. all, Fannie had set the boots in the room
to give them good scare. They put their
heads together and determined to turn the
tables on her. Silently they dIsrobed, and
stealthily as cats they took up their position
on each side of the bed Alta given signal
they both jumped into bed, one on each side
Oh the Unconscious parS0n, laughing anu
screaming, "Oh, what man! On, what a
mani" and gave the poor bewlldered minister
such promiscuous hugging and tusseling
as few persons gctin the course of a life
time. f
The noise of the proceeding awoke the
old lady who was sleeping in an adjoining
room She comprehended the situation in
a moment, and rushing to the room, she
opened the door and exclaimed: "Gracious
it's q man its man sure enough!" There
was one prolonged, consolidated scream, a
flash of muslin through the door, and all
was over f'-.'''

Coal AND ScALEs.-The coal traffic over
the Lehigh Valley R. R of Penn. is enormous.
A slight idea can be formed from the fact
that forty thousand tons of coal
have been weighed each week, for three
years, upon single track scale built by
Messrs. E. & T. FAIRBANKS & Co., making a
total of six million two hundred and forty
thousand TONS This does not include that
weighed upon the dozen or more other scales
of their make upon the said road. Messrs
FAIRBANKS are now manufacturing nearly
1000 scales each week, of their various mod
ifications, and are much behind their orders.

Before Raleigh grows much larger pub
lie park should be purchased in conye-
nient and accessible locality, to be forever
open to all classes of the population. Ten
years of prosperity should give us fifty thou
sand people. The grounds eastward of the
city from the Union Cemetery to the Con-
federate Cemetery, and including both would
make such a park beautiful, magnificent,
and worthy of great city.
Such project may seem chimerical. But
surely no man can doubt that with all the
liberality with which this city was planned,
the Capitol Square should have at least
been nine times as large as it is. The same sort
of blunder was made in the erection of the

these blunders are repeated in every great
