lakewood Cemetery-Raleigb.

We are pleased to learn that the citizens
of the Capitol of the State have determine
ed to provide q Cemetery for their dead,
fitted to accord with the solemn and rever-
entail feelings, which all, who cherish a
hope of the Hereafter, entertain toward
their kindred who have "gone before. -
We have received from ono Of the officers
of the IS Raleigh Cemetery Association" a
pamphlet containing the Charter and By
Laws of the Association as we'll as map
elegantly engraved in colors, Of the coax

The name is well chosen, suggesting the
"City of Oaks" the usual soubriquet OF

of Raleigh, the most beautiful specimen OF
our primeval forests known in Central

The old Graveyard of Raleigh was laid
out in 1892 and was then outside the cor

now this ancient cemetery is enclosed on
all sides by the habitation5 Of the living.

wretched condition, and we are glad to
see that our sister city has taken steps to
remove this reproach from her fair fame.

A Shocking Duel with Knives.

About shutdown on Friday evening two
young men of Alexandria. Va, in order to
settle difficulty that had arisen between
them, armed themselves with knives, and
accompanied by some Of their respective
friends, repaired to the grounds around
Lockaber, across the canal locks, where,
having dotted their coats, they fought &C.
cording to the rules in force in Western
Texas previous to the war. After a pro-
longed conflict, during which both were
cut and slashed to an extent that satisfied
their friends, they were separated and car
ried to surgeons to have their wounda
dressed. Neither of them was MORALLY
hurt. -Alexandria (Va.) Gazette.

a Striking Contrast.

The recent usurpation of despotic power
and the consequent overthrow, for the
time. Of the most precious muniments of
freedom, on the part OF the Executive Of
North Carolina, render the subjoined ex-
tract peculiarly pertinent and suggestive.
It is taken from the memoirs OF the War
of '76." by Lieut-Col. Henry Lee, tho
father OF the great Confederate Captain,
General Robert Z. LEE The intelligent
reader will not fail to mark the contrast in
the conduct of President Washington and
Gov. Holden, or of Col. Henry Lee and
the bandit Kirk and his confederates IL
iniquity, the inquisitor Bergen.
General Henry Lee WAS appointed by
President Washington to command the
militia in its march against the whiskey
insurgents in Pennsylvania. In letter
addressed to Col. Lee, dated Oct. Goth,
1894, the President employs the following
language:
"There is but one point on which
think it proper to add special recommen
dation it is this that every officer and
soldier will constantly bear in mind that
he comes to support the laws, and it would
be peculiarly unbeooming in him to be IL
any way the infractor of them. That the
essential principles of one government
confne the province of the military, wher
called forth on such occasions, to these two
objects LIST, to combat and subdue al
who may be found in arms in opposition
to the national will and authority. I'd, Il
aid and support the cio1 magistrate in bring
ing offenders to justice. The dispensati0a O
thisj ustics belongs to The ciUH magistrate; and
let it ever be our pride and our glory ID
ZeGce ibis sacred trust there wnviolated."
Gen. Robert E. LEE makes this reference
to the above, in his biographical sketch OF
his distinguished father: "This wise in
junction, so accordant with the spirit OF
the free and tolerant institutions of cur
fore-fathers, was faithfully observed"

Shocking Case OF HydrophObia-A Moth
:er ard Two Children BItten

Another distressing case of hydropho-
bia was yesterday brought to the notice o
the coroner.
In western suburb of the city, known
as Butchertown, lives family, consisting
OF father, mother and several children. Al
the house in which they lived was kept @
| dog, to which the children were much ct
tached. It had always appeared to be q
| good-natured animal, and the little ones
it without fear
About a month since it seemed surly
and i'll at ease, ard bit one of the children,
boy II years of age. Following up the
attack, it then bit an infant crawling on
the floor, and when the mother interfered,
flew at and bit her.
None of the wounds made by the dog s
teeth were considered serious, and although
the circumstance was spoken CT, no step
was taken in the matter for day or two.
It was then considered best to kill the dog,
which was done.
Of the three who had been bitten, none
felt any bad effects until Tuesday, when
the boy complained of having the ague.-
A physician was summoned, and immedi-
ately recognized the symptoms of hydro
phobia. He inquired of the mother if the
lad had not been bitten by dog.
She replied that he had. and with feel
lngs that may easily be imagined, related
the circumstance, and, now deeply agi-
tated, informed thu physician that both
her baby and herself had been bitten at
the same time. The physician endeavored
to claim her, but found it impossible to
do so.
Although everything possible was done
to relieve the sufferings of the boy, he grew
rapidly worse, soon became unable to swal-
low anything, and died yesterday morning,
within twenty-four hours Of exhibiting the
first symptoms.
The unhappy mother is utterly pros
trated by the terrible shock. Beside the
death of her son, the horrible possibility
of herself and infant child becoming vic
TINS of the fearful and invariably fatal
disease, produced q nervous prostration
that now confines her to her bed.
Neither the mother nor remaining child
have as yet exhibited any of the symptoms
of hydrophobia, and it is possible that they
will both escape.
The coroner declined to hold an inquest
on the body of the boy. as it was believed
that should it be held at the house the aG-
ditional excitement might prove fatal to
the mother. For the same reason the
friends of the family were anxious that
the matter should be kept as quiet as pos
sible, and at their request we withhold the
names. st Louis Democrat

pose to speak mostly Of Pittsburg, from

stands on the site of old Fort Duqucsae, "
at the confluence of the Allegheny and

you run down the valley of the Come

gahcla-until within q few miles of the
place, when you leave the Connemaugh on
your left and pass over to the Allegheny
side of Pittsburg. The Union depot is in
the heart of the city at about tenth street,
and from it you can take trains to any
point. In Pittsburg you first mark the

cation. The steamers are all different

Marshal Bazaine, it is said on good au-
thOrity, refuses TO recognize the Republic.
If this report be true the situation II
France, and as between France and Pru-
STA, has become moro complicated than
ever. If Bazaine maintains this ground,
King William may not find it 70 difficult
after all TO treat with Napoleon. Suppose
that Bazaine surrenders with consent Of
Napoleon, and suppose besides, that King
William gives Napoleon Il safe conduct to
Metz, would it be difficult for the King Of
Prussia to restore Napoleon Bazane has
at least two hundred thousand men on
whom he can rely. IL Napoleon from
Metz were to make an appeal 10 the French
peOple-Erance meanwhile seeing in the
republic nothing but disorder. and feeling
that Napoleon was backed up by the whole
strength of Prussia-is it impossible thai
the peasants, who are Bonapartists almost
to man, woald vote for the restoration
of the empire ? All our reliable news from
theinteriOr of France reveals the fact the
peasants are not republican. We regret
the fact, while We are compelled TO con
fess il.
This is one of the difficulties suggested
by Bazaine'a position. But it Is not the
only one. If Bazaine stands by the En-
peEor, France is not only at war with Ger
many. but at war with herself. 1t is an
defender of Metz compels us to look at
the possibilities Of civil war Of the most
alarming kind. The legions Of France

IHE OUTRAGES IN ROBESON-ANOTHER
CITIZEN VICT1M-THE LEAGUERs RAM
PANT-ANorHER MURDER. poor
friends in Robson county have again been
made 10 feel the wrath Of the Loyal
Leagues, and another victim has been ad-
ded to the number of those who have been
thus far sacrificed.
On Monday last the gang appeared at
PlummersvilIe, and robbed the houses of
Mr.. Angus Leach and Mrs. Mckay. On
Tuesday morning party of eight young
gentlemen banded themselves together at
Shoe Heel and started in pursuit of the
Leaguers. Between Red Banks and Shoe
Heel they came to the house of one Apple
white. colored, situated within about $50
yards Of the railroad. Here they found
evident signs OF the robbers, quantity of
provisions being spread on the ROOM, it
appearing as though the feast had been
suddenly abandoned. a negro woman
was found lying in the bed, apparently
asleep, while a child was playing in the
yard. Mr.. Stephen Davis, one of the
band of eight, approached the child,
which, upon being asked, pointed towards
| the Long Swamp as tho direction which
the outlaws had taken. The young men
Immediately started off and, soon coming
| to q thick piece of woods, Davis remarked
that he was going in there to get shot
He was followed by the rest, but had not
gone far before the Leaguers, some Is
strong, were discovered lying on the ground.

and the fire was returned by the outlaws.
Davis then drew his pistol, and calling to
the others to follow him, advanced into
the thick et. It was noticed then that he
vas apparently badly wounded. His I'D
vance was not sustained by the others,
who, finding themselves outnumbered
beat retreat.
Davis has not since been heard from and
it is feared that he has been killed
! Another of the firing party. young mar
named Mclaughlin, was wounded in the
head, the shoulder and the thigh, severe
Iy, but not dangerously. Some others
whose names we could not learn. are also
reported wounded. A search, but an in
effectual one, was yesterday made for Da-
Wis. Several pools of blood were discov-
cred near the spot where he and the out
laws had been last seen but no other trace
of him could be found.
All Robson county is in arms and 6
most thorough and effective campaign
will, let us hope, be at once begun. On.
informant states that men are being en-
rolled all along the line of the road and
that energetic measures are to be at once
taken to root the guilty Leaguers from ou
of the county. This is the way to do it,
Let every man in Robson county that
loves law and order, shoulder his gun ant
go forward to the rescue. Beat ever,
