NORTH CAROLINA SHAME.

The more peace in North Carolina,
the more troops to harass her cicizens.
Governor HOlden's mUsketeers having
failed to gOad on the people of that
State TO insUrreCtiOn, President Grant
now takes a turn at it, and has sent
three artillery companies to Raleigh, to
be followed by others. The Raleigh tel
egram stating these facts, adds the usual
observation: "NO resistance to LdJU has
been made iII dIly part Of the State" So
our North Carolina exchanges say over
and over and over again. The whole
trouble is in one of of fGOveTnOr HOlden's
own making. He causes martial law to
be declared, and arrests hundreds of his
political opponents on the pTatense that
they contemplate treason and rebellion
although they have not lifted a finger or
uttered a word, so far as we know to war
rant the accusation. The Governor is
trying on one of those games that Euro
pean tYFants are in the habit of practic-
ing when they want to suppress free
criticism of their misgOVernment
They raise a hUllabalOO about secret So
Cieties, plots, dangers to the public well
fare, etc, and proceed thereupOn, under
cover Of these pretexts to proclaim mar
tial law, throw respectable citizens in
prison, and then claim the credit of sa-
wing the State! This impOsture, copied
by Governor Holden, will not deceive
Americans. He and his pO-
litical myrmidOns and the administTa-
ton that sanctions and abets his OUtro-
ges, will suffer for them when the inevi-
table reckoning comes to be made up.-I

uarveIs of Memory.

credible had they not been given tC
US upon the highest authority:
Cyrus knew the name of each soldier
in his army. 1t is also related of The
mistOcles that he could call by name
every citizen of Athens, although the
number amounted to 10000. AIithri-
dates, King of POntus, knew all his so,
600 soldiers by their right names. ScipiO,
knew all the inhabitants Of Rome.
Seneca complained of old age because he
could not as formerly repeat two thOus-
and names in the order in which they
We're read to him and he stated that on
one occasion, when at his studies, 200
UncOnnected verses having been Tecited
by the different pupils of his preceptor,
he repeated in reversed order, proceed
ing from Thet the first.
Lord Granville could repeat from be-
ginning to end the New Testament in
the original Greek. Cook, the tragedian,
is said to have committed to memory all
the contents Of large daily newspaper.
Racine could Tecite all the tragedies of
Euripides.
1t is said that George III. never forgot
a face he had once seen nor Il name he
had ever heard. AIirandOal would COM
init to memory the contents of book
by reading it three times, and could fTe-
quently repeat the words backward as
well as forward. Thomas Cranmer COM
mitted to memory in three months an
entire translation of the Bible. Euler,
the mathematician, could repeat the Eu-
cid; and Lebnitz, when an old man,
could recite the whole of Virgil, word
for word.
IT is said that BOssuet could repeat not
only the whole Bible, but all Of Homer,
Virgil and Horace, besides many other
works.

A curious instance of ecclesiastical
fiUnkyism has been exhibited by the
AIethOdists of Cold Springs, on the Hud-
son, who have recently erected new
church edifice, dedicated last week un-
der the name of the "Grant Methodist
Episcopal Church, 1t is said that the
President will be present at the baptism
Of this rather remarkable gOdchild. 1t
is only recently that the unpretending
'meeting-hOUses' Of the MethOdists have
received names. As spires appeared on
their roofs they began to be called after
the founder of the church OF some Dio-
neer bishop; later, as the spires extended
further towards heaven, or gave place to
towers, the more popular saints were
invoked, and est. Johns, y ''St. PauTs,J'
began to spring up in the larger cities,
Within a few years the eustOm-Of very
taste-has prevailed to q
limited extent of using the name Of
some living chuEoh dignitary, and a few
James and Morris ehapels have
been built. This will be the the instance,
however, on record, of a church edifies
being named for a purely secular hero.

FARMERs.-Adam was a farmer while
yet in PaTadice, and after his fall COM
manded to earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow.
Job the honest, upright and patient,
was farmer, and his endurance has
passed in a prOverb.
Socrates was a farmer, and vet we'd
ded to his calling, the glory Of his inn
mortal philosophy.
st. Luke was a farmer, and divides
with PrOmetheus the honor of subject
ing the OK for the use of man.
CinCinnatus was a farmer, and the

Washington was farmer, and re-
tired from the highest earthly station 10

to the world a spectacle of human
greatness.
10 those names may be added a host
OF others who sought peace and repOse

Lafayette, the steadfast Pickering, the
scholastic Jefferson, the fiery Randolph,
all found an EdOradO of consolation from
life's cares in verdant laws that sur

How To Stop A PAPER.-The follow
ing from one of our exchanges, so fully
and clearly expresses our views upon the
subject that we copy it without COM
ment:
You have an undOubted right TO stop q
newspaper whenever you are disposed,
upon payment of all arreaFages. Do onOt
hesitate to do so on account Of any ten
derness of feeling for the editor. Don't
you suppose he would stop buying sugar
of you, or meat clothing, dry goods,
&c, if he thought he was not getting
his5mOney worth ? And when YOU dis
continue paper, do so manfuIIy. Don't
be so pitiful as to throw it back to the
postmaster with a contemptuOus 4
don't want it any longer p and have re
fused written on the margin, and have
the paper returned to the editor. No
Gentleman ever stopped q paper in that
way no matter if his head is covered
with gray hairs that be honorable.
If you do not wish longer to receive a
newspaper, write note to the editor
like man saying so, and be sure that
aTrearages are paid. This is the way to
stop newspaper.

The Massachusetts Claims aud tht
War OTlS12,

war Of 1912,
The great influence of Massachusetts
in Congressional legislation has been
strongly evinCed by passage through
both houses of q bill TeimbUTsing that
Stats for what is called the war claim
of 1872 For fifty-eight years it has
been pending, and never, until thepres-
ent time, has there been found a Con-
gress corrupt enough to sanction it.
The student of history is well aware that
III the war of 1872 the political influ-
ence of Massachusetts was then not
upon the side of the United States, but
of Great Britain. Her Legislature, or
General Court as it is called, passed a
resolution that il was UnbecOming a
moral and religious people to rejoice
over American victories Her militia
refused to march out of the State. In
the State they were safe, for the enc

no serious demonstrations against them
The clergy and the press Numbered
against the war. Her capitalists refUIs-
ed to lend money TO carry it on. In the
darkest period Of the struggle her intlu-
ence got up the famous Hartford Con-
ventiOn of the New England States,
which in secret session, debated Wheth-
er it was not eXpedient for the East to
secede from the Union. An alliance
with Great Britain was openly talked
of. An attempt at revolution would
prOpably have been made had it not
been for the early termination of the
war by the peace of Ghent.
A State with this record now receives
from Congress a reimbursement for its
exertiOus III the war of 1872. Well
might it be remarked, that her claims
ought to be presented to the British
Government That power, remember
ing that her friends in the Old Bay
State, in IS12-13-14, were in the habit of
burning blue lights along the rocky and
and dangerous portions of their coasts,
to warn her cruisers of the presence of.

give them a recOmpense, but the Unit
ed States cannot do it, unless it desires
to pay for treason against its authority.
We have said that Massachusetts was
in the Government. The
purse strings Of the Nation are held by
Mr.. Boutwell,; Dawes in the House
heads the Committee on ApprOpria-
tiOns, and Butler directs the foreign re-
lations, and Wilson that of military. II

EDITING Il paper is Il very pleasant
thing. If it contains too much political
matter, people won't have it; if il con-
tains too little, they won't have it. If
the type is too large, it don't contain
enough reading matter if the type is too
small they can't read it, If we publish
telegraph reports, folks say they are
nothing but lies; if we omit them, they
say we have no enterprise, or suppress
them for political effect. five have q
few jokes, folks say we are nothing but
q rattle-head; if we omit jokes, they say
we are old fOs,il. If we publish original
matter, they ELAINE us for not giving
them original selections; if we publish
original selections, folks say we are lazy
for not giving them what they have not
read i'm some other paper. If we give a
man complimentary notices, we are
censured for being partial; if we DO not,
