IN MEMORY OF SAMUEL TUNSTALL WILL
LIAMs.

IN MEMORY OF SAMUEL TUNSTALL WILL
LIAMs.
Died in New York, Thursday night,
young North Carolinian widely
known and every where beloved. The
hand that writes these memorial lines
trembles with q genuine and profound
grief, for he who is dead was our dear
est, truest, noblest friend. Samuel
T. Williams was one Of the knightliest
young men of our State. Gentle,
courteous, just and true as he was to
all, to the chosen few of the ultimate
circle he was the very flower of fellow
ship, the soul OF manly devotion. His
virtues will live after him like shining
stars in the armament, and the sweet
influences of his life will long be felt
in the lives of those who survive.
May God have granted him the sweet
boon of eternal peace !
Samuel T, Williams was native of
Nash county, and a graduate of Emory
aud Henry College, Virginia. He
moved to Oxford, Granville county,
some years before the war, and OBJ
tanned license just previous to the
opening Of hostilities, to practice
law. About that time-we think 1859
he succeeded MIR. Kingsbury as
editor of the Leisure Hour. He wrote
for it many vigorous and incisive
articles. His turn was always to
literature and journalism. At the
beginning of the war he entered
the service of his State and section
and remained faithfully in the same
to the last bitter struggle. He
attained to the rark of Captain.
He WAS brother of the brilliant and
amiable young Colonel Sol. Williams
of historic fame in the fields of Vir-
gnia. After the war, Captain Williams
returned to Nash county and resumed
tie practice of the profession of law.
ln 1868 he was the Democratic candi>
date for Congress in the Fourth Dis
canvass. He was a ready and graceful
speaker. He occasionally wrote edi-
torials for the Battleboro AdUance
aud was. the author of an elaborate
critique of Fuller's CANCEL in the
Cloud" In 1872 he formed q law part
nership with B. Ell. Bum, Esq, at
Rocky Mount. During that year he
accepted the position of editor-in-chief
of the Raleigh Neaos. which position
he held for something over a year.
Since 1873 he has attended exclusively
70 his law practice, which was quite
Extensive for young man. Mr.. Will
hams was thirty eight years of ege.
He was the brother of Henry G. Will
lams, Esq, editor of the Wilson Id
rance

Col. Wsdden At Fayetteville.
The Fayetteville Gazette saws:

Last Saturday evening very large
crowd assembled at the market house,
for the purpose of hearing a speech
from Hon A. NJ. Waddell. The gifted
orator was introduced in a graceful
and handsome manner by Mr.. B. Full
Ter, and, although he disclaimed any
intention of making a speech-having
a regular appointment for Fayetteville
next week-he entertained the crowd
for about an hour in mastery review
of the Radical administration, its cor
ruption and iltfamies, and pictured in
glowing terms the relief to the whole
country in the election of the reform
ticket, After a brief and amusing
speech from Maj. Jno. Evans, the
meeting adjourned.

This gentleman, President of the

are at work, and that Burgin and Lick
Log tunnels will be completed in two

about 400 yards long. 1t is expected
to complete Swannanoa tunnel by the

sembled at Robeson's day before yes

Bennett of Brunswick, for the Senate.
Mr.. Bennett made a most excellent re-

Quails as Domestic Fowls.

Mr.. james Littlehale, of Stockton, Cali
fornia, has for year or two been raising
quails in very successful way. He re-
Gently set fifty quail's eggs under hen, and
some days since, thirty eight of the live
liest bumblebees ever seen were Matched
out. They seem to take particular delight
in their big mother, gathering around and
under her constantly, obeying her call, and
taking the food she scratches for them,
while she is the proudest old hen that ever
laid an egg or family. Mr. Littlehale has
beside thirty or forty grown quails that
keep the family in eggs, which although
small, he asserts to be of finer and richer
favor than any other he ever ate. The
quails, are of two species, the mountain
quails, brown with white spots, and the val
ley quails blush slate color, with black tufts
on head, breast and wings.

THE LAKES OF WAYNE COUNTY.

There are 142 natural lakes in Wayne
county-some of them on the SUBMITS of
the highest hills. 1t is a fact worthy of
note that the only section is the state where
these picturesque sheets Of water seem to
be part of the landscapes formation is in
this northwestern corner. Pike county
shares with Wayne in this singular abund-
ance of inland lakes, her hills and vallies
being dotted with them in all parts of her
territory. Outside of these two counties
lakes of this character are seldom met with
there being, of course, here and there one
for instance, Harveys Lake, in Luzerne
county, the largest in the State. These
lakes-called bya harsh misnomer ''pouds"
possess characteristics so different as to
bring them almost to the dignity of pheno-
mena. Thus, one of these lakes-situated
low down or at an elevated point, as the
case may be-will be composed of water as
clear as crystal, so transparent, in fact, that
the bright white sand of which its bed is
formed is visible to the depth of many feet
The confines of lake of this character are
of firm earth and rock, with here and there
little stretches of beach, upon which the
waves have washed the crystal sand in
mimicry of the ocean. One of these lakes
is always the centre of charming picture
"a rugged mountain, perhaps, reaches up
its head, hoary with age, and shaggy as a
hermit, to look down into the mirror at its
feet trees, rocks, woods and gentler slopes,
mingle their beauty and grandeur. The
surface Of one of these lakes is continually
moved by wind that never ceases, is never
quiet although away from the lake the
day may be without a breath of air. Every
prospect about it pleases. A mile away is
a companion lake, or rather, contiguous
one. Its shores are acres of noisome marsh
and tangled swamp, through which it is i'm
possible to reach the lake except by boat.
The smell of decaying vegetable and animal
substances is disagreeably apparent. The
water in the lake is muddy and opaque, and
little islands of marsh raise out of it at in
tervals. Sometimes, one shore, generally
on the west or north, will be rocky and
firm, but this is not the rule. The trees
growing in these niarshy margins, are
mostly evergreen in character, those of
the fir family predominating. Lily-pads
cover much of the surface, and the face of
natures wears an entirely different aspect
from that impressing the visitor at the first
mentioned lake ..... But while this feature in
the physical formation of Pennsylvania dis
appears outside of this section, it seems to
be but the continuation, of system that
marks the landscape from the large lakes of
central New York, to the Palisades of the
Hudson, taking Wayne and Pike in the
chain-Honesdaie Chronicle.

A Timely "Reminiscences :

Those who demand that the result of the
election in the Southern States shall be de-
clared on the basis Of "the vote actually
cast" will find an instructive lesson in the
history of Democratic election returns in
Philadelphia At the November election
in 1868, the Fourth ward of that city re-
turned majority of 3,303 for Seymour
This majority was greater than the entire
number Of legal voters in the Ward. When
this fraud was concocted, its authors
thought it possible to thus overbear the
honest majority of the State, and to elect
Seymour by the electoral vote OF Pennsyl-
vania. But when the return was presen-
ted, there were none so poor as to do it re-
verence-none to plead that it must even
be considered as a conclusive return of "the
vote actually cast" 1t came with all the
ceremonies of law, and upon its face was a
legal certificate, but had any attempt been
made to give it even the semblance of sane
ton, it would have been resented and
resisted by every honest citizen. 1t was,
by consent, rejected, and the fraud effaced
from the return, although there was no
statue to demand it.

succession swept over an area of three
thousand square miles. Accounts from the

WANAMAKER & Brown, of Philadel-
phia, may well challenge all comers upon,
at least, two points on which they con-
gratulate themselves-namely, the ex-
cellence of quality of the material, and
splendid serviceableness of the manufacture
In all their garments. An artist on canvas
can scarcely put the touches of his brush
with more delicate and discriminating care
upon a pet picture than the makers of Oak
Hall clothing bestow upon every part and
department of their work. Such scrupulous
care is bound to tell. The public will GER
tainly find it out more and more.
