NEGRO women VoTING IN NORTH
CARoLINA.-Aceording to the Raleigh
On. CO Sentinel, woman suffrage was
practically carried out in johnson coun-
ty, in that State, at the last election, and
the. people there are warned to beware
of the same trick again. The Sentinel
of July 18th, says:
Major Smith, President of the North
Carolina Railroad, told it himself, that
he voted two hundred negro women in
Johnston county by having them dressed
in mems clothes. His plan was this
The registers books were kept open all
day the women in breeches registered
when taken to the polls the law forbade
any man to challenge, so they were oblig-

carried Johnston by four hundred and
more. AT the subsequent election nc
women voted, aud the white folks carried
the election by FIVE hundred and more.

Willamette Sound.
TFrom the Overland Monthly. !


let the fall of the Columbia River from
the shore of this geoloyically remote lake,
east OF the Cascade Mountains, to the
mouth of the Willamette River, be stated
at eighty feet. Our fossil remains on this
aNc shore are 2j0 feet above the present
level of its waters, making total Of $50
feet as the depth Of those waters above the
present surface at the mouth of the Will
lamctte River. How naturally one looks
t, the currents Of such a vast body of wa
ter as the agency competent to the heaping
up of that long sandy ridge, one hundred
feet high, through which the river has cut
its way at Swan Island, north Of Portland
But let us follow it still further inland
Over where Portland now stands, these
waters were 325 feet deep; over Salem,
1863 feet; over Albany, ll5 feet; over
Tn,la'in pl,ins, l45 feet; over Lafayette,
10 feet. n narrow strait over the present
valley of the Tualatin Rivcn, ten or twelve
miles in length, opened westward upon a
broad, beautiful bay, extending over the
present sites of Illsboro and Fore Grove,
to iIale's Peak among the foothills of the
Coast R,nyc The subsoil of the fine
farms of that rich agricultural! region, is
itself the muddy sediment of that bay.
Farther south. over the central portion of
the present valley, and lying obliqucly
across the widest part OF the Willamette
Sound, there arose above those waters an
elvated island 1t extended from IA point
south of Lafayette to one near Salem, and
must have formed fine central object in
the scene. Three or four volcanic islands
extended, in an irregular scmicirclc, where
Linn county now is; and the islands of
those waters are the Buttcs Of to day
Knox's, Petcrson's aud Wards. One
standing on the summit of either of these
Buttes. with the suggestions of these pages
before him, could so easily and wildly i'm
agnc those waters recalled, as to almost
persuade himself he heard the murmuring
of their ripples ut his feet-so alike, the
extended plain around him-so shore like,
that line of hills, from Mary's Peak, on
the west, to Spencer's Butte, on the South,
and only lost on the east among the intri.
cate windings of extended slopes among
the foot hills of the Cascades. How nat
ural would seem to him this restoration of
one Of geology's yesterdays!

This she is and has been for twenty-five
years, without doubt; and as the crcum-

less severe, and her education better, she
will become more beautiful still. America

those who we're too far distant froui the
scene to know that an accident had befal-
len the adventurers, and who supposed
the ascent was being made sans contretemps.
But to those in the immediate vicinity Of
the car, the sight was an awful one, and
for moment evey one seemed parhlyzed
with terror, and stood rooted 'to'the spot
without uttcring cry or word. The balloou,
lightcned by tho fall Of Mr.. KuapP, shot
upward with dreadfully increased velocity.
and scream Of terror, which chilled tho
blood of the hearers, came down from the
upper air, where the: doomed aeronaut
hung utterly hopeless of, essspisg death.
At my side stood woman, whoy = af-
terwards heard, was the Professor wife.
Her eyes werc bursting from their ,socksts,
and her face palid and ghastly, with fear.
She clutchcd the air as II for support, and
with one hand graspcd my arm, still lock
ing upward at the balloon, which IsWiltcr
than an arrow shot through, tho raird r Up,
up, it went, growing smaller aud smaller
in its fight; and then with Increased vefo-
city, it gave a sudden start nhds shot yet
faster towards the clouds. Then spcck
was seen far up in the air. growing laraer
and larger as it fell. 40, my God y
cried the woman, who clung to me with
iron grasp, " lie will die he will be kil'el"
Yet her eyes remained fixed upon tkatiall-
ing body. At first it seemed like the stick
Of a rocket, coming down with the speed of
light; then it doubled up like ball; then
seemed to unfold, and whirling about with
a gyratory motion, with hands and legs
spread out 1t seemed an age while tho
man was falling, for before he loosencdrhs
grasp the balloon must have been. at least
that poor wife who watched her husband
rushing toward her and death with the
speed of light! When about half mile
from the ground, his body ceased its gysa-
tory motion, aud came down head FIRST.
1t struck tho earth some distance from US,
and then rebounded, falling again few
feet from where it struck. Then, from
parayzed fear, the crowd broke forth into
shricks of terror. Women ran wildly
about screaming and actually tearing their
hair, and rush was made for the spot
where the man had struck the ground.
There was nm indentation not less than
eight or ten inches deep, and filed with
blood and brains which burst from tho
skull when, like cannon ball let drop from
an immense height, it crushed into tho
earth. The dead man was then taken up
and carried into tho Albert house. where
the poor wife, who had often safely tra-
versed the air with her husband cared for
it. The excitement in town was Of the
most fearful aud intense description, as may
readily be believed. Those who had come
out for pleasure returned home in sorrow,
aud the town wore the aspect Of place
which had been visited by some fearful
calamity in which its own interests had
suffered There was no more Of tho fair
that day, and the remembrance of the
dreadful occurrence will long be story
told by tho inhabitants when those who
witnessed it shall long since have died. =,

The day has long since passed when
social grades were distinguished by tho
costume, nor is it any longer necessary; as
was the case in the last century, to wear
gold lace on the coat to mark the, gentle
man. Such fashion happily has become
extinct, aud it is mistake to suppose that
the world now accords its respect to tlsase
whose claims for distinction are based upon
mere outside show, while, however, il is
true that in respect to dress, it cannot fail
to admire the becoming. Grace Of person
