For the Gazette.
The winding up of a long winded edi.
torial in the EUery Evening, of yesterday,
ends in this way;
"What EOery E0ening wants now is hon.
est and earnest men who will 60 in to
win and determine to take this city
out OF the hands of the politicians of both
parties. This is not hopeless task, and
If the men who profess to desire it will
stand together the thing is of compara-
lively easy accomplishment"
must say that the above pleased me,
for l was beginning to think that the
editor of that journal was trying to crawl
into the Democratic party since the
death of his late love-the Republican
party-in this comfy and State, and from
the tone of the Eyery Evening of late one
would have supposed that he proposed
to ruin the Democracy, not of the city
and county only but also of the nation
even 10 controlling the nomination of
the next President.
The vain, suffering, ,stammering young
man that controls the EUery EUeiling may
think that he has killed or at least been
prominent factor in killing the Repub-
lican party, that he can now kill the
DemocI atic party aud make asnall party
of his-the Eoery EUening party. If his
party is not able to command more pat
hOhoBO bbu LILO paper ~
will not hurt any one. He could doubt
less gather up a few rlayed-uut Republi-
cans and some broken wlnded, sOre-head-
ed Democrats, and fix up sort of North
Carolina team, aud like little mule he
could lead them. But we are of the
opinion that before we come to an
other city election that the EUery EUening
will be dead and forgotten; and when il
is gone who will mourn lts1loss? From
the expression of some of It's prominent
stock holders It will not be them, and
we know of several business firms in this
city whose advertisements appear in the
paper say that their only reason for it is
that the EUery EUening owes them money
and that they cannot get their pay any
other way. The news boys / am sure
will not cry, for they all say they nd but
poor sale for it when they have either of
the other papers to offer. L think the
only one that will be hurt by the collapse
which is sure to come, is its editor. He
will miss his forty dollars week, for
that is about thirty-five dollars a week
would pay him; and then the only way
he could earn his money would be in the
capacity of night scavenger.
l hope that when Democratic officials
think Of favoriug the Euery Euening with
official patronage, thinking him useful to
the party, that they will remember that
its editor "wants earnest men who will
go In to win," to beat the Democracy In
this city. l believe in parties. Parties
have made this country what it is. All
men that have advan ced the science of
government for the emulation of man
Kind have been party men.
When you see a politician that is too
pure for any party, set him down for
humbug. X.

articles. "The Fishery Award" by Sena-
tor George F. Edmunds "Unpublished
Fragments of the Little PERIOD" by
Thomas Moore "Cities as Units in Our
Polity," by William r. Martin; "The

After sixty-three years. existence as a
quarterly and bi-monthly, the Review
with this number commences life anew
by becoming a monthly. This change
will produce much greater degree of
timeliness in the treatment of topics, and
will add largely to the amount of matter
presented in year. The managers state
that they have secured as contributors
for the coming year the most eminent
statesmen, scholars, literdteurS, and men
of science, on both sides of the Atlantic.
The subscription price remains at $500,
and the price per copy is so cents.

AInulsenents.

Our citizens are TO be treated to two
very fine performances next week. On
Monday evening the prince of comedians
John L. Raymond, will appear in his
new impersonation of "Pemberton Penn
broke" in his new play of ''Risks." The
Courier Journal, of Louisville, KY, says
OF Raymond: at is rare that an engage
ment presenting but one play is so sue
eessful as that of Raymond. He has
played "Risks" to fair or full houses the
entire week, with "Col. Sellers Satur-
day night. Raymond is the best, and,
we may say, the only exponent of genu-
inc American humor we have. He is far
beyond the text of his characters. He
has the exuberant manner of the enthu-
siast, and his own wit is something apart
from the words of the play. He abounds
in surprises. He has face mobile and
expressive beyond anything on our stage.
He occupies field all to himself. "Pem-
berton Pembroke is full of good humor,
and not offensive to any calling or any
taste. His humor is admissible in
any situation. Take for example the
pathetic scene in the last act of s'Risks." !"
where Bella asks if he will take the part
of her father, "No, miss" he replies,
''your father is in the Atlantic" This
piece of humor is not ridiculous, or, if
it is absurd, it is delicious piece of abb
surdity. 1t is in character"
On Christmas night the favorite actress
of this city, Charlotte Thompson, will
appear as "Julia' in the "Hunchback. y
Miss Thompson has never appeared in the
character here, but of course it will be
enacted perfectly.

GOING SOUTH.

London World, December 2G.
came from lands OF mist and rain,
And hurried, for ono sleepless night,
Through landscapes clothed in win
try white,
And where the bare Burguudian vines
Like antlers of Il buried herd,
Pierced through their chilly countcrpane.
Against the windows sieet and SNOW
Beat, as determined to the last
To bear me company I passed
Bleak sandy tracks, where dwarfish
pines
And stunned olives, tempest stirred,
Swaycd desolately to and fro.
I journey on to warmth and light"
I Whispered to my talt'ring heart,
So lonely at the sad.lest part
Of this, my voyage to the sun,
Wrapped IN the curtains of the night.
And fearing what the dawn might hold,
Whilst still unto my aching brain
The lGeasured c!atter of the tran,
Echoed, in mockinG monotone,
'To warmth and light when all was cold.
But by and by, by slow degrees,
Chill nature tLawcd to greet the
dawn
The clinging frost and snow We're
gone,
The sky beamed blue behind the hills,
The birds were singing Oil the trees.
The sun rose gayly, all the earth
Seemed warm again with love and
Spring,
The olive leaves swayed glistening
With siiv'ry lustre, and the rills
Leapt frost freed to Il brighter birth.
4 Thousand scented southern balms
. The zephyr waited to my brow,
The orange hung npon the bough,
The almond lowered faic beneath
The tuftcd majesty ofpalms.
The wavelets of Il tidecs sea
Crept softly to the rosy shorc,--
The ovcrlanSing mountains bore
Myrtle and miynonctte and heath,
And fragrant tangled bryony.
The aloe raised it's pointed spears,
The rcd geranium blossomed wild,
Anemoncs and vioiets smiled.
The faint m,mosa droopca above
The:rocks were tringcd with rrickly pears
Twas then l felt my soul revive:
The winter chilled. my heart 40 more !;
locked upon that sunny shore
Anl said L come to life and love-
l ccinc to thee to love and liVc.'
