Good Books for the People.

People who delight kQod
books are rejoicing in tN Rd
work being done by the Ameri-
can Book Exchange, 55 Beck
man ST., n. Y By introducing
the plan of publishing books and
selling direct to purchasers, in
stead of giving the large dis
counts usually allowed to deal
ers and agents to sell for them;
by working on the basis Of the
present cost of making books,
which is about one-half what it
was a few years ago, and by
printing very large editions,
which also greatly reduces the
cost as compared with small edi-
tions, they are able to furnish
books at prices which, to most
people, seem truly astonishing,
but which they say are only
reasonable. They publish as
follows:
Chambers's Cyclopedia of En-
glish Literature, s vols, 16mo.
Price, complete, paper,$2; cloth,
So; half morocco, S4.75; half
morocco, bound in 4 vols, 1915.

Intoxicating Liquors.

When holy men of old, under
the inspiration of the Holy Spir-
it, condemned drunkenness and
drunkards no such thing as dis
tillation had entered the minds
of men; their intoxicating hq-
uors being produced by MKT
ures which underwent the alco-
holic fermentation. It is sup
posed that the eighth century is
noted for the invention of distil-
lation, which was first accom-
plished in Arabia. Since that
time the streams of intoxicationI
have flowed on in wider chan
nels and with increased velocity,
speading like a poisonous MAS
ma disease and death through
out the land. In civilized ma
tions much has been done to stay
these destructive streams, many
institutions have arisen and -four
ished and waned within the last
half century; but thanks be to
God we are now made to believe
that efforts are being made, that
barriers are being erected over
which the dreadful tide will no
longer leap sweeping destruct-
lively our beloved country, blast
ing the fairest prospects and bu-
rying in oblivion the fondest
hopes of doting parents and low
ing relatives, producing distress
unutterablc which is family
heard in the widows disconso-
late wall and the Orphans hope
less moan.
Instead of sighs, our hearts
are made to leap with joy when
we know that we have some true
patriots, warm-hearted philan-
thropists capable of devising
great things for the public good,
who stand out and say our tenn
perance banners shall no longer
trail in the dust. s.

Republican Authorities.

I That the democrats in con-
gress are right in demanding
that the power to employ troops
at elections shall be taken away
from the President, no sensible
man can doubt. The position
which they have taken has been
Endorsed BY some of the leading
republican statesmen, and no
less than three members Of Mr..
Hayes own cabinet have at va
lrious times proclaimed the doc
Itrinc which was contained in
the bill to prevent military in
reference at elections which
IAIr. Hayes vetoed on Monday.
William ii. Seward, one of The
founders of the republican par
Ity, said:
Civil liberty and standing
army for the purposes OF civil
police have never yet stood to-
gether and never car stand to-
gether.
A few years ago, when fcler-
al soldiers marched into the leg
islative halls Of Louisiana, Nj.
Evarts publicly said:
What usc is it to give the
purse andthe sword to the house
of commons if the king or the
President by military power
can determine what shall be the
constitution of the house of
commons or the house of con-
gress? And that is what they
fought for in England. Aud
for this reason the people of
the United States are justified
in assuming that the supreme
cied po,oe,' shall dominate ouer
the military, and that no merg-
ing of them or interference. aUIh
them shall be permitted.
Mr.. M'Crary, the present Sec
retary Of war, in his book on e.
lections, written before be be-
came a member of Hayes's
fraudulent cabinet, says:
An armed force in the neigh
borhood of the polls is almost
of necessity a menace tothe vo-
ters and an interference with
their freedom and independence,
and if such armed force be in
the hands of or under the con-
troll of partisan friends of any
particular candidate or set of
candidates, the probability of
influence becomes
still stronger.
1t is upon this broad platform
that the democratic party of the
United States stands to-day.
In a struggle involving such
principles there should be no
faint hearts.

tinue to blow north and westward
it will not be long before the
southern planters will be enjoy
ing the fun at the expense of
the sorely puzzled north.
Our candid opinion is that
the southern darkies are not all
angels of light, and that the
southern whites understand
their management better than
the northern people do. That,
with all the grievances that oc-
cur their lot is not greatly
worse than the employees of Old
or New England. Being in
the majority with the Federal
laws on their side it does seem
that the negroes might take
care of themselves. Or, if they
prefer it let them change loca-
ton, but why should a great ma
lion make so much ado over so
small Il matter.

The Mahometan Way.

Before the CAdi a Mahome-
tan was brought up for burning
down a Christians house.
"Where is the complainant"
"May our souls bea sacrifice,
but he is in the other world!
He was burned up with his
house,"
"The Koran" said the mag
istrate, "p"ovides that where the
complainant is unable to appear,
if his abiding place be known
the culprit shall be taken there
and confronted with him. In
the present case the plaintiff
does not appear and is known
TO be in the next world. Let
the law be cxeeuted-ditto the

FAYETTEVILLE, THNNESyEH THURSDAY, JUNE s. 1879

Inquiries were made IN New
York, and it was ascert;lined that
Charles Ashton was expected to
return from his European trip on
the steamer Elfiida, which was
then overdue.
The next day the steamer ar
rived, and among its passengers
was Charles Ashton. He was
arrested before he diselnbafked,
on the charge Of numbering his
nephew.
On learning of what crime he
was accused he said not a word,
but his face turned deathly pale.
He submitted to arrest without
resistance. Two days later he
committed suicide IN his cell in
the Tombs. When his body
was discovered a paper was tight
ly clutched in his hsnd. Upon it
were scrawled a few lines, which
read as follows:
81 killed Henry Ashton. He
came to me that night, having
failed to ascertain the residence
of any other of his few living
relatives. He had just returned
from long voyage, and had
heard of his fathers death and
the disposition he had made of
his property. The honest fellow
never dreamed of doubling my
integrity. Poor fool! he beliey-
ed me when / assured him of my
delight at his return and my
pleasure in yielding up to him
the property. But at heart /
cursed the fate that brought him
back at that inopportune hour,
and / determined that he should
never leave the Elms alive. T.
ascertained that no one else was
aware of his return, and that he
was known to his ship-mates byt
an assumed name.
s'Two days later the year
would expire, and. if this boy
could be silenced the fortune
would be mine. | determined
to silence him forever. He and
| We're alone in the house, and
no one knew of his presence m-
der my roof. | killed him at
while he slept, and bu-
ried it beneath the elm where it
was found.
"The fortune for which I did !
the deed has been a curse to me,
and | now resign it and end my
wretched life.

WAITING FOR MOTHER I"

The old man sits in his easy-chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that is all his own,
e On this gladstone, peaceful day. =
His children are gathered from far and near
2 His chillren's children beside,
And merry voices are echoing through
The "Homestead's" halls, SO wide.
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again;
And his heart forsets that it ever knew
A shadow Of grief and pain,
For he sees his wife as he saw her thon--
A matrOn comely and fair,
With her children gathered around his board
And never vacant chair ~
OH happy this dreamof "Auld Lang Syne,
OF the years long slipped awayl
And the old mans lips have gathered asSile
And his heart grows young and gay.
But kiss falls gently upon his brow,
From his daughters lips SO true;
"Dinner is ready; and, Father, dear,
We are only waiting for your
The old man wakes at his daughters call,
And he looks at the table near;
"There'sone of US missing, my child, "he said;
awe will wait till Mother is here"
There are tears in the eyes of his children
then,
As they gaze on an empty chair;
For many lonely year has passed
Since "Mother" sat with them there.
But the old man pleads so wistfully:
awe must wait for Mother, you know"
And they let him rest in his old arm-ehair
Till the sun at last sinks low.
Then, leaving smile for the children here'
He turns from the earth away,
And hasgone to Mother beyond the skies,
With The close Of the quiet day.
