North Carolina Mountain villages.

THE awful solitude of the forests is
scarcely broken by them. Half of their
unpainted, weather-beaten houses are
always empty, the inmates having ap-
parently died, or gone farther into these
sleepy wildernesses and forgotten to
come back. The roads leading to them
are always over break-neck-pr
and in scandalous disrepair, one gem
Grafton putting of to another the
mending of them. There is always
deserted mica mine on neighboring
height, shining like fountain of silver
gushing from the rock; there is always
a stream which ''wOuld give powerful
yield of gold, only we folks don't count
much on them Uncertain ways of max
in livin'.n
There are alwas one or two families
of educated, well-bred people. They
have little money, but they feel the
need of it less here than any where else
in the States. They live in roomy,
wooden houses, the walls, ceilings and
floors frequently made of purplish,
fine-grained poplar, which no Persian
carpet or tapestry could rival in beauty;
they buy no new books, but they have
read the old ones until they are live
triendsi they never saw Gerome or
Fortuny, but their windows open on
dusky valleys, delicate in beauty as a
dream, on rushing waterfalls, on rain
bow wells of mist floating over dizzy
heights; they dress in homespun, and
sit on wooden benches, but knowing
nothing of fashions or bric-a-brac, their
souls sit at ease and are quiet, and they
never feel the aching void of an empty
pocket. Our travellers were welcomed
to many a room where trunks, the spin
ning-wheel. and the cooking-stove filled
one side, and the bed and a portion of a
Revolutionary ancestor the other,
where fat-irons and silver goblets,
Shakespeare and the blacking-brushes,
amicably keep company on the mantel-
shelf, but in which the fine quick wit
and the grave courtesy of their hosts
would have dwarfed the stateliest sur
roundings. Rebecca Harding DaUiS, in

every hand, as in all human govern
ments, and errors in the record of every
year. But the country knows that in
all the greater matters II owes its pre-
sent condition to the courage, wisdom
and fidelity Of the Republican party,
and it win hesitate long before it
decides to change Any other party
can promise. The Republicans have
performed. Every pledge ever made
by that party it has kept, even to the
doing of so-called impossibilities, such
as the suppression OF rebellion, the
paciication of the country and the
resumption of specie payments. 1t
promises now to 60 forward in its work;
to press still further reforms which it
has begun, and TO promote still further
the prosperity of the country. The
work is in the hands of men who have
given proof of the wisdom of their
plans. If they have done well thus far,
so that the country is happier, more
powerful more prosperous. richer and
grander than ever before, will the peO-
pie turn over their affairs to a party
which has only promises to offer?
If Democratic promises were proof
OF Democratic purposes, il would be
rash to change. Incompetence and in
experience often do more mischief
than downright knayery, as the last
Democratic Congress has shown. But
it is a notorious fact that the Demo-
cratic party has not respected It's
promises, nor made any effort to re-
deem them. Its successive declara-
tions of eternal principles for the
last twenty years, if put together,
would make the most absurd tumble of
contradictions ever known. The party
has been true to nothing except
its anxiety for office. 1t proposes
hard-money," and yet the votes
of nine-tenths of the Democrats
in Congress show that the party
does not wish gold dollars worth one
hundred cents If it can get silver dol
lars worth ninety cents. Conservative
men know what sort Of Government
we shall have if the Republican party
retains the power. 1t has been tried,
and it leads to a grand prosperity.
Wages are ample. Business is active,
and the unemployed are few. Invest
ments are safe, and the public credit is
high. The banks repose full confidence
in the integrity of the Government, and
the depositors and holders of insurance
policies know that funds invested in
Government securities are safe. Men
know that the Republican party means
to promote and increase this solid pros.
perity, which gladdens the hearts both
of rich and poor, of laborer and of en-
ployer. But who can guess what NAV
happen if the Democratic party should
have power to enact and carry out the
wild vagaries which it has voted for in
COngressP-M y Tribune.
