posi- tion; two miles from home, after ten
O'Clock, and not money enough to ride;
1t was not very pleasant state of affairs,
surely. Kudc men passing now, began
to notice the girl, and boldly stared IN
her pale face. "Gilbert, !" she whispered,
shrinking from their gaze, "Gilbert, we
must get into car; I will explain to the
conductor, and VIC can pay the rest of the
fare tomorrow"
But there were no cars in sight, and it
was growing colder every moment. After
waiting some time upon the conner, Rhoda
cried:
There is q policeman, Gilbert, I'll ask
him how soon the car will be aIong9''
and tin.ldly accosting the officer who
stood near by, and who appeared to be
noticing their evident distress, Rhoda
was informed that in consequence OF the
fire, that line of cars was stopped.
"But," added the officer, politely,
! "you can take an Arch street car and ex-
change with one of the north bound
lines"
20, Rhoda, two exchanges, eighteen
cents! and we've only ten" cried Gilbert,
pathetlcally; "we1l have to walk, and
you are shivering with the cold, and it's
all my fault for bringing you out"
The officer came nearer now, and,
apeaking to Gilbert, but looking at the
tired, pale face IN the scarlet hood and
seal-skin cap, said kindly
"1f you will allow me, my lad, Will
| arrange all that" and he took from his
vest pocket silver piece and put to into
Gilbert's hand, and adding: "your sister
is not able to walk far this cold night,
please accept this little loan
Rhoda bowed and said:-
"Tou are very kind; do not think l
could walk back, and you see we haven't
any money; but I will recollect your sta
ton, and" looking up at his cap, "oh,
yes! see your number is seventy nine,
Remember, Gilbert, policeman No. 49,
Thank you. very much, for the loan!'
and, taking her cousins arm, Rhoda hur-
ried on toward the car.
~ tell you, you've got frst-class police
men here, Rhoda. Wasn't he stunner2"
cried Gilbert, as they reached the car,
and he paid their fare out of the silver
piece; I'll return the money the first
thing in the morning; it will be real
Thanksgiving, won't it, l don't know
when ever felt more grateful; why, We
might have been arrested as tramps AID
taken to the station house."

FOR 1879

On the LIST of May. 1876. the owner
snip and control of The WORLD passed |
into the hands of the undersigned, un-
der y nose absolute and untrammelled
dirett ON The WORLD has ever since re-
mali ID and low remains.
During the whole OF this time THH
WoRIo has labored patiently and perse-
yerihyly for the accomplishment Of two
great objects in politics OF paramount IN
terest to the Southern people.
1.-THE restoration OF local seli-goV'
eminent at the South.
2. A real reform of the Civ. Service,
in such wise rs to destroy the politicai
machines under the operation OF which
Z has come to pass that the people are
taxed to support political parties, where
as political parties have no other reason
of being except to lessen the burdens oil
/ government.
The first of these objects has been tri-
umphantly accomplished. All inteiii,
gent Northern men new admit that all
parts of the country were NJ deeply IN
terested as the Southlin seeing 1t won.
A corrupt and anti-Oemocratic govern,
ment in the South was a permanent.peril
20 the ascendancy of true American
principles in the Federal Government
and therefore to the peace and honor OF
the whole people.
/. The second political object for which
The WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved. The actual Administra-
ton began its career with excellent
PROMISES AZ ttis direction Of which 1t Is
sufficient to say that they have been as
y at oply in part redeemed. HE WORLD
for its part will resOlntely support any
honest effort to redeem these promises
fully. by whomsoever made, aud viii
"A resolutely denounce every obstacle
thrown in the way of redeening them
from whatever quarter.
Il 1t seems to the undersigned eminent
liz p,oper that he shonld ask the CO
operation of the best men Of the Souti
with HE MoKLD in it's efforts to carr.
OH. the policy here outlined. de be
l,.,y a. TIE WORLD to be paper which
Southern citizens aud Democrats CA
recommend to Southern readers as a
influence worthy and important to
brought to bear with constantly lncreas
ing power upon the conduct oil our ~
tiOnal affairs in the interest OF truth, G
Justice and Of hainony among our pee
pie OF all sections.
II is my desire to keep The WORLD
a living relation with the best though
of the south, to the end that the De,
ideas, wishes and feelings of the Souti
ern people may be clearly and fair
made known to the North, the East an
the West. Alike in private and IN pul
lie affairs, the misunderstanding OF me
by one another lies at the root OF
much evil that the v ord itself has cou
to be synonym with quarreling al
strife. 1t was wise saying OF Lol
Elgin, at the time of one Of our sharpe
disputes with Great Britain, that w
intelligent gentlemen alone on raft
the Atlantic with pfenary powers cou
adjust the whole matter honoraDiy
an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends
the South to aid it in bringing about
complete meeting OF minds on all pu
lie questions between the lnteiiige
citizens Of all parts of the Union:

Full MOURNING,

A Philadelphia clergyman, Rev.
Mr.. Mcleod, contends that there is
neither health, sense nor religion i'm
full mourning. He tolls his congre~
cation that a bit Of black ribbon,
worn in some way, will tell the story
Of bereavement just as we'll as com
plete mourning suit. A bit Of Grape
on the bell-pull gives the hint TO those
who pass by, nnd it is not considered
necessary to cover the whole 'front.'
with black drappery. Why, then,
will not a bit Of ribbon on coat or
cloak answer the purpose, and
weight Of useless expense and cue
tom the. is always gloomy ami, in
warm weather, very uncomfortable,
be taken from the shoulders Of bereav-
ed mourners? Christians, he is con-
vinced, ought not to take q g.oonY
view of death. There are glorious
hopes liuked with the soprows, and
the hopes Of those who are gone he
fore should be symbolizetl ralher than
the sorrows Of those who are left be-
hind. He would have cheerful gar-
ments worn by nonEncrs in token OF
the triumph of the ghSitssd ones,
ard q bit Of ribbon OK Grape as a
simple memorial Of their own sense
of bereavement. The rest Of the fulL
mourning he would send TO the heath
en-, who in their SORROW AT The grave
have no hope.

Forfeited Lands.

The Act recently passed by the
General Assembly, in relation to
lands forfeited to the State for non
payment Of taxes, is one containing
extremely liberal terms to those who
have allowed their lands to become
forfeited and who have not yet re-
deemed them.
1t is more than likely that the
opportunity allowed, under the act
alluded to, will be The last chance
defaulters will have to redeem, and
those interested will do we'll 10 care
fully consider the terms Of said Act.
The second section postpone all
sales Of forfeited lands which have
not yet been made until the fret
Monday in September, 1879, and
allows the privilege of redemption to
run until that time, in which period
all dcfaultcrs are permitted to pay
only one half of the simple tax of
1876, 1877 and 1878, without any
costs or penalties, and on their doing
so their lands are restored to them.
The third section of the Act pro-
vidcs that dcfanlters may redeem
their lands until the 3lst day Of DC.
tol'er, 1870, by the same terms, pro-
vidcd however only, in case they
have not been sold between that pc
riod and the first Monday in Scptcm-
Der previous.
1t would not be well for any, there
fore, to risk further delay in redeem
ing them the last of August, as sale
after that time might be ordered and
the lands sold to some persons who
would not be as liberal to the default
crs rs the State.
Section four provides that pay
ment, on account of forfeited lands,
shall be with National Bank notes,
u. S. Treasury notes, gold or silver
coin.
Section five provides that in all
cases where taxes have been paid for
the years 1876 and 1877 on lands
forfeited for previous years, slch
payment shall he talicE and held to
have redeemed such lands.

COOP MANNERS AT IIoME.-Shut ey-
cry door after you without Summing
it. Never stamp, jump or run in the
house. Never call TO persons up
stairs or in the next room; if you
wish to speak to them go quietly to
where they are. Always speak kind.
ly and politely to the servants, if you
would have them do the same to you.
When told to do or not to do u thing
by either parent, never ask why you
should Or should not do it. Tell of
your own faults, but not Of those of
your brothers or sisters. Carefully
clean the mud and snow from your
boots or shoes before entering the
house. Never sit down at the table
or in the parlor with dirty hands or
tumbled hair. Never interrupt any
conversation, but wait patiently for
your turn TO speak. Never reserve
your good manners for strangers, but
be equally polite at home and abroad.

a Romantic Murder Case.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States is engaged in hearing the case
Of Pryor N. Coleman, Of Tennessee,
which is one Of the most remarkable
on record. 1t seems that during the
war he committed an atrocious mur-
der, for which he was about to be
executed by the Federal military,
when the Confcdcratcs made an at
tack and stopped it. He asked and
was granted leave to 60 into battle,
and fought with such desperate gal
lantry that nothing more was said of
taking his life. After the war n
State Court found him guilty Of mur.
der in the first degree, and the Su-
prcme Court of Tennessee refused to
set aside the decision. His case is
now before the United States Su.
prcmc Court, and ex-senator Foote,
who is his counsel, hopes that rs this
court has always been liberal in con-
STRUNG the law that mans life shall
not be twice placed in jeopardy for
the same oTcnsc, he will be able to
get Colemnn clear.

Against Due!Iing.

We learn that the persons from
South Carolina who came over into
North Carolina to fight a duel re.
Gently will be indicted by q Mecklen-
burg court. That is right, and Gov
crnor Vance should demand the rem
dition Of the persons implicated.
Let our courts put its seal of empha-
tic condemnation on the foolish
dueling code. Mecklcnburg aulhori-
ties are expected 10 do their duty in
regard to the affair mentioned, and
maintain the dignity Of our laws and
respect due the State. If two or
three negroes or white men get into
q little tussell;ng scrimmage, or
"fist and skull" fight, the whole force
of the State Tin law) is brought
against them, and the same should
be done against the young gentlemen
from South Carolina who came into
this county and violated our laws
