WINSTON, N c., THURSDAY, JULY "a, 1870.

"Lady, l am no spy" he replied,
"but a poor artist, whom the love
of the beautiful, and no wish to
injure others has led me to intrude
on your pass"
"Canst thou prove i: with thy
pencil 70
"[ can," replied the youth.
"Unbind him, Ludo7ico," she
ordered.
"Fair, fair 20 replied the brlgands,
throwing themselves in not un-
graceful groups on the grass around.
The artist glanced ;ronnd, and
not even his terrible sitlation could
repress smile Of pleasure, as his
eye caught a ravine and rock,
hanging vine and frowning preci-
pice-and with lightning rapidity,
the scene, in all its wild witchery,
was transported to the canvas
The painter paused for one moment,
his eyes fell on Magdalen, and
there she stood, in AL her matchlcss
beauty-bending, however, a look
OF pity on Leonardo da Vinci.
"How say ye, comrades, has he
lost or won 2" and the calm, sweet
voice of Magdalen broke the still
ness.
"Won, won ard a chain of
gold, besides," cried the outlaws,
as each bent above the sketch and
beheld himself.
Long did the painter remain
among them, loaded with proofs of
their appreciation, and still in the
splendid works Of this great master
the tall, graceful form in blue, the
dark look and moulded features
frequently appear monument OF
his gratitude to Magdalen, the
queen of the bandits.

Another Curious Article of Ex-
port.

Our readers have learned through
the columns of the ReOieao, of the
the fact that such apparently worth
less articles as pine straw and dog
fenne.s are actually being shipped
from this port to the North, the
former being used for mattress
stock and for a medicinal oil which
is extracted from it, and the latter
for tanning purposes, and now II
actually transpires that the white
sand SO plentiful in this section has
found its mission, package cf it
having been shipped By the steam
ship Benetactoy, which sailed for

A Model Nevada Father.

A family man at Carson, Nevada,
who is somewhat addicted to drink
and passionately fond of "craw
poker" recently absen:ed himself
from home for two days and nights
in succession. His wife, driven to
distraction by his absence, sent her
son in search Of the delinquent
husband. After many hours spent
on that mission, the boy found his
father snugly slowed away in the
back room of Magee's saloon,
closely hugging poker game. The
son upbraided him for his unfcel-
ing conduct toward his mother
After patiently listening to the
boys reproacln, the old man said:
"My son, l cannot blame You
for addressing such strong language
to me your father | know am a
worthless wretch, who is setting
you bad example, but l will try
and reform tor you and your dear
mothers sake. Never take a drink,
my boy, and never acquire the fear
ful vice of gambling. Lead al
honest and industrious and upright
life. Never deceive any one by
word or action, nor utter false
hood even though your very
existence were at stake; then, my
son, You will grow up to be hap
pier man than is your wretched
father. Now, take this half-dolial
and run home and tell the ole
woman yon couldn't find me-"
That boy, under the influence O
his father, may become Congress
man. Who knows ?-Ec.

advice Gratis TO Politicians.

We respectfully urge the politi-
clans not to make themselves riGi-
culous before the people this year.
The voters are beginning to look
at matters and men in the clear
light OF day, and an unexpected
burst of derisive laughter from an
attentive audience is not pleasant
to an ilnpassioned public orator
bent on saving his country from the
grasp OF the opposite party.
We are led to give this caution
by sorrowful tale we hear of Mr..
Charles Foster, the Republican
candidate for Governor in Ohio. -
Mr.. Foster, addressing his fellow
citizens somewhere, fell, naturally,
INTO patriotic reminiscnccnccs OF the
late unplea8antness, and began to
boast about the war. GIVE fought
four years to save this Union," he
cried ont, and WAS greeted by
unanimous shouts of laughter from
his hearers, who remembered that
Mr.. Foster, though of proper age
when the var broke out and man
OF wealth, did not enter the army
at all, but prudently stayed at home
attending to his business. AS his
opponent, General Ewing, did
serve bravcly and with distinction
in the Union armies, Mr.. Fosters s
boast of what "we" did was un-
doubtcdly ridiculous, and he de
served to be laughed at.-N. y.

Predictions About 1850.

In pamphlet recently published
by the author, Professor Grimmer
asserts: "From 1880 to 1887 will
be one universal carnival of death. .
Asia will be depopulated, Europe
nearly so, America will lose fifteen
million people. Besides plague,
we are to have storms and tidal
waves, mountains are to "toss their
heads through the choicest valleys, %
navigators will be lost by the thou
eands owing to the ''capricious de-
fteXures OF the magnetic needle, "
and islands will appear and disap-
pear in rnid-ocean. All the beasts,
birds and fishes will be diseased :;
famine and human strife will de-
stroy most Of the few human beings
left alive by plague; ; aud finally,
"two years of tre"-trom 1885 to
19S7-will rage with fury in every
part of the globe. In 1887, the
"Starcf Bethlehem" will "reappear
in Cassiopia's Chair" the immedi-
ate results being universal war and
portentious floods and shipwrecks.
North America is again to be in
volved in civil war, unless a "Na-
poleon arises to quell it; but during
these terrible days the Pacific
States will be a veritable Paradise
of Peace compared to the hellish
strife that will he waging through
ont the world.' The few people
that may manage to survive till
1887 will have reason to be thank
full.

CaprIces OF Fashionable People

At a dinner party the other even
ing in London, a gentleman sat
next to young lady vino wore a
pale Nilc-green silk dress, orna-
mented with yards on yards Of
costly lace she was very much
6ecoLtetee, and had on a necklace of
bri!liants; she was pretty, cngag-
ing, with the assured case of the
best society, Over the silkcn
shoulder, the white neck and the
laces of the young lady travelled
with laborious leisure n bug! The
bug was a Mexican beetle, with
FURNISHED armor Of the most gem
like hues, bat it was, nevertheless,
a live bug, crawling, after the slow,
painful fashion of its species, up
and down, crossing the expanse of
white satin skin, nesting in the
frills and losing itself in a wilder
ness OF rosebuds set low in the
corsage. The poor creature could
not escape, and reached no goal in
spite of its long journey, since it
was held in leash by fine silken
cord. Naturally, the insect at
tracted attention; the conversation
turned on beetles. The young lady
spoke of hers in terms of affection,
and called it a Sweet, darling pet.
Another fair one remarked that
she, too, had beetle al home, for
which she was having a golden
harness made, and that she hoped
to wear it the rext evening.

THE WEATHER.

Is there anything can beat
This ere holiness of the beat,
Prickly heat
It's most unpleasant pickle
When we feel the dewdrops trickle
Down our foreheads s-how they tickle
How catch
AT our handkerchiefs and scratch!
oh, the heat
On our feet
They are blistered sore and jaded-
Our socks are moist aud faded
Oh, the heat
And the prickly heat, presuming,
On our fevered backs is blooming
Oh, the heat!
And as sun aud dust are looming,
How that prickly heat comes booming
Like the measels, it is catching,
And it keeps us busy scratching
How it prickles,
How it tickles-
All our countenance iiluming-
Oh, the heat

North Carolina Republicans
Washington Republican. /


The New York Graphic scoop
Melted Colonel Thomas B. Keogh
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, of North Carr
olina, the other day long enough
to insert its interviewing syphou
and extract some valuable inform
alton relating to the present and
future OF North Carolina politics.
The Colonel gave out that the Re-
publicans believe they can carry
the State if thoroughly organized.
The course of til g last Legislature
has not benefited the Democratic
party IL that State. Then, the re-
vlval OF sectional animo6ities by
the Democratic element in Con-
gress has had a bad effect. 1t
must be remembered that many
thousands of men who have acted
with the Democratic party since
the negroes were enfranchised were
Union men during the war, and
are Union men still. They would
have acted with the Republicans
right along, but they couldn't
stand negro suffrage couldn't
swallow it all at once. These orig
inal Union men are Union men at
heart still, and if there is anything
they hate it is to hear men and
women who ought to know better,
continually harping about the Lost
Cause. Colonel Keogh thinks that
North Carolina may be carried by
the Republicans in 1880. A great
many who have never voted the
Republican ticket, be says, will
vote it in future. He also believes
that General Grant has very
strong following for President in
the State, and SO has Secretary
Sherman. The Republicans want
Judge Thomas Settle, of North
Carolina, for Vice-Preeident.
This is all very well in theory
and on paper, but there is some.
thing beneath and beyond it to be
reached and overcome before the
Republicans of North Carolina can
hope to carry that State for any
Republican candidate. There is
now aud there has been for some
time within the Republican PARTY
of that State elements of cei tain
aisintegration and decay which
must be overcome and removed be
fore there can be ray of hope for
Republican success there = *
There is class of native Republi-
cans in North Carolina who have a
deeper aud mole bitter hatred to
ward those Republicans who are
denominated arpet-baGgers than
they entertain toward the Demo-
cratic party. This naturally be
gets orrespondlng feeling en- the
part of the reviled and hated car
pet -baggers, all of which Iisturbs
the harmony and weakens the pow
er of the party. Before the
Republ can party in North Caro-
lima can become healthy aud strong
it must e1Pel from it's organization
these illiberal and unhealthy agen-
cies which continually weaken the
party and its prospects and hopes
of success. Bury the past, with
all its piques, prejudices, and hates.
Take Il new departure, determine
to make amy and all personal sac
rifices that stand in the way OF
unity and fraternity, and then the
Republican cause will vindicate IT,
self in power aud success, as it
does III Vermont, Iowa, or Mime
sofa. Without this 1T cannot sue
ceed, and to try is a forlorn hope.
