Not far from Partinr' house was a swamp
through which the road he took when lie

hole, Of deep black mud lay in this swamp
near the road. When the searching purity
came to this spot, they found the body Of
COW, which appeared to have come to its
death by violence and not BY miring.
This attracted attention TO the spot, and D
fragment OF a bonnet or some portion Of il
female apparel soon showed that the party
was on the right track. The boggy hole
was sounded, and soon fragment after frag-

TO YOUR P0ST.

The Raleigh News says: The campaign
has begun. The enemy is Up and doing.
They have money and they are determined
to regain their power. Let our friends be
up also and hard 1t work. Ii is no time 10
play. There is danger, not Of losing tue
Convention only. but Of losing the State.
Let our speakers be abroad to rouse tie
people from apathy. Let them show them
the dangers Of their Indifference. Let them
meet the attempt to array class against
class. Organize clubs. diifuse information.
reach every man in every community. and
bring every man to the polls.
The Democrats have nothing to fear from
discussion. They haze the Interests ofthe
people and Of the State to work for. The
Republicans work to regain power and Il
retain office.

The fact that the Republicans have
made the Convention question the test Of
the strength Of parties in the State should
rouse the watchfulness Of every Consersa-
tive that the party be not caught mapping.
The Conservative party has endeayored not
to make party question Of Constitutional
reform. 1t has urged it as subject in
which all classes in the State were Interest,"
ed. Ii has Lad the couatenance aud the
cooperation Of some Of the most Jealous
and trusted Of the Republicans ii the State.
Bat now when the question has come to an
issue, the leaders Of the latter insist upon
drawing party lines. The Democratic par
II can very we'll afford to accept the issue,
if they will recognize the fact that the con-
test. is as the Republicans design It to te,
test Of the strength Of parties. Once
convinced os that, the Democrats to man
will rise to prevent the return to power Of
the party that has left such indelible marks
Of their former administration.
The duty Of every Conservative is to be
90 the watch to preserve the ascendancy our
party now has. The practices and the po-
licy Of the two have been compared, the
fruits Of the two are before the people. Let
it be understood that indifference to the
well being Of the Conservative party is n
abandonm, nj of the field won BY hard
service aud with most happy results.
-~---@-1.
One Of the arguments usei against the
Convention last winter By the Radical par
IS was that while they admitted the Con-
situation needed changing in some impor-
tant particulars, yet that The time was un-
suited to changes, and an attemptnow might
lead TO complications with the General
Government. Many Of the Democrats we're
impressed with these arguments, and SYM
pathized with these fears. But that dan
ger passed away as the General Govern
ment came to its senses in respect to its
right aud power to interfere il the dOu,es-
tic affairs Of State rectifying its own in
ternal troubles. and meditating no HOSTILE
ties to the Government. and the Convention
was ordered TO be called.
Now the Republicans to man oppose it.
and rally to the cry to preserve the present
Constitution unchanged for an unlimited
duration Of time. Now, the Democrats
have all agreed that the Constitution must
be changed. Many Republicans admit
that it ought to be changed. Why then
should the former turn from their purpose.
and why should the latter change their opin-
ions? If the change is to be made, now i
the time to do it. Not so good an oppor-
tdnity will ever occur again. As Judge
Buxton says in bis address TO the people Of
Cumberland 1.-THE time to oppose an evil i
in its commencement, and not after il has
got headvsy,'s and though We make Al. ap-
plieation little diffesent from that intend
ed, there is no better illustration Of the
truth Of the sentiment than the present
Constitution. which il let alone much Ion
ger will get that Roadway which will make
il The death II the prosperity Of tie State.

"S-s SIS, git, cat, with as n uch en-
phasis as he could bring to bear. There
was momentary lull; then the con-
cert went on with renewed energy.
Watkins sat down with his elbow on his
knee, resting his chin on his hand, in
deep meditation. Finally he took his
shotgun, started down stairs out into the
yard. His wife sat by the open cham

Watkins saw pair of fiery eyeballs

slowly and fired. There was terribls
scampering around the shrubbery. One
of the feline minstrels mistook the bot

of escape, and made for it. Watkins
dropped his gun and started for the
house like a streak of lightning. He

To the best OF our recollection,

~ To the best OF our recollection,
he was an Arkansas clergyman who had
beenaccused of trailinghis '.true inward
moss" in the company Of the wrong
woman. Under these painful circum-
stances, his wife was frequently compar-
ed to mobile Roman matron;" bat she
didn't seem to mind it, and firmly de-
clared her belief in her husbands inno-
cence, When the day of trial arrived,
she sat in court beside him, and moved
the jury to tears by arranging SO cent
boquet in buttonhole of his coat. The
case was at last opened and the witness
es for the prosecution called. There
were thirty or forty of them; but before
half dozen had testified,a change came
over the face of the wife, and getting up
and addressing her remarks to the Bench
she said: ''See here, Judge. I'm satisfied
if you are. Dou't mind me. I can
stand it. reckon its into me, Judge,
to get even. Juai hold on to him till
called for, and if any woman wants him,
he is hern,' and no questions asked"
Then, turning to her husband, and
snatching the floral tributes from his
buttonhole, she bitterly exclaimed: "Re-
member from this time forward my
home is den of ragin' lions. and you
amt no Daniel"

Tie Gilroy Leader says: Advertising
is a great bother. 1t only brings lot
of folks to your place of business. If
they want you let them hunt you up.
Then if you get your maize in the paper,
you will be bored with drummers. and
people from the country will call on
you, and you will have to show them
goods, and like enough have to do up
bundles which will exhaust your stock
so much that you will be obliged to buy
more goods. which is great trouble. II
you advertise, too, it gives your place a
reputation abroad; folks will 60 there
and crowd you. and make it too lively.
If you don't want to do anything, keep
as still as you can.
