pas~ North Carolina resisted Governor Hol-
den, General Grant, the negro militia the
Federal troops, carpet. baggers, scalawags, and
all other impure and improper combinations
at the recent election. and gave a decided
Democratic and Conservative majority. The
results of the battle may thus be summed
up The Democrats have elected their can
didate for Attorney General by not less than
1900 majority. The Democrats have elected
five out of the seven Congressman. The Dem
ocrats, or the Conservatives, have clear ma
jorty in both branches of the new Legisla>
ture This majority has been estimated at
two-thirds. The Congressional districts car
ried by the Radicals are the First and Second,
all the others have given decided Conserva-
tive majorities. At first it was thought the
Radicals had carried the Fifth district, but
now the election of J. NJ. Leech, the Con-
sentative, is conceded.

but in the heart Of every one a unanimous
feeling exists of admiration for their heroism,
for their devotedness to the work of mercy,
for the spotless integrity of their lives and
a conviction of utter groundlessness of the
ISLANDERS with which wicked Chinese officials
have dared to asperse their names, and which
too successfully alas lhave used to cause their
obstruction. May the Sisters of Mercy in
China and 'the world know that in this hour
of their grief and desolation. every heart feels
for them, and shares their sorrow:

small reproduction of the Claude Melnotte and
palace by the Lake Of Como" business, but
with all the romance lett out. A MIR. George
Jones, an elderly buffer matrimonially ncin-
ed, deluded one Miss Mary Sweeney into mar
riage on the strength of his assertion that he
was rich farmer OF Brunot's Island. After
marriage, however, Mary discovered that her
Claude Melnotte was small gardener, aud not
one of the chocest.at that. Recriminatious fol-
lowed, but instead of the Pittsburg Psulines 9
retiring to the psternal roof in food Of tears
and suppressed affection, and the repentant
Claude's hieing him away to seek adeath or
set towofT to worrysthe lfe out of,eaoh other.
Mary surrounded George with ten cats, Of
which animal, even inits individdal capacity,
the uxorious George has a supersttious horror.
and also threatened to poison him. the re-
suit was that the affrighted Claude sought a
