And the happy Kittie, smiling through
her tears, kissed the stately Miss Bar

forgiveness.
That night Allan made his appearance
and told Kittie all his suferings and

back to Kitties heart, and banished for
ever all desire for revenge

Strange Story of a Bank Note

Not hong ago well known collector
of curiosities in Paris, who had devoted
considerable sums of money to the gath
ering together Of bank notes of all coun
tries and all values, became the possessor
of Bank of England FIVE pound note,
to which an unusually strange story was
attached. This note was raid into a
Liverpool merchants Office in the ordi-
nary way Of business sixty-one years
ago, and its recipient, the cashier of the
firm, while holding it up to the light to
test its genuineness, noticed some faint
red marks upon it, which on closer ex-
animation proved to be semi-effaced
words, scrawled in blood between the
printed lines and upon the blank margin
of the note. Extraordinary pains were
taken to iecipher these partly oblit-
Grated characters, and eventually the
following sentence was made out " If
this note should fall into the hands of
John Dean, of Longhill, near Carlisle, he
will learn hereby that his brother is Ian
gushing a prisoner in Algiers." Mr..
Dean was promptly communicated with
by the mol Ter of the note, and he APP
pealed TO the government of the day for
assistance in his endeavor to obtain his
brothers release from captivity. The
prisoner, who, as it subsequently APP
peared, Lad traced the above sentence
upon the note with splinter of wood
dipped in Lis own blood, had been a
.
slave 10 the Dey OF Algiers for eleven
years, when his strange missive first at
tracted attention in Liverpool count
ing house. His family and friends had
long believed him dead Eventually his
brother, with the aid of the British au-
thorities in the Mediterranean, sue
ceeded in ransouing him from the Dey,
and brought him home to England,
where he did NOT lon. survi re his ie-
lease, his constitution having been ire
parably injured by exposure, privations,
and forced labor in the Dey's galleys.

"A Rich Discovery Of Coin.

Ii has lust been learned that early on
a certain morning last Summer a lad en-
gagged i'll repairing the drain of house
in Rome came upon u quantity of buried
coin dating from the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries, and very rich in value,
being gold The lad at first found only
piece. This he put into his pocket,
and when occasion offered he showed it
to a goldsmith across the way and agreed
to sell it for -. AS the bargain was
about TO close the head mason and the
owner Of the house happened to see the
transaction, and going across the street,
put an end u it. Further search was
made for coin in the same spot, and l42
gold pieces were unearthed between the
drain and the wall Of the house. A
quantity OF dirt which had been taken
away from the drain and was on the
road in carts, 70 II point outside of the
city, was sent for, and AZ more pieces
were taken ont of it, making lSi gold
COINS Of the largest size and as fresh az if
they had Just been taken from the mint.
As works of art the pieces have special
merit, and we'll they may, for the greater
part of them were coined by Alexander
VI, julius H., Leo x, Clement VII,
and Paul iii, and hence belonged to the
great art age Some of them are said to
be of exquisite beauty, and were done
by artists who seem worthy to stand at
the side Of Donatello and Ccllini.

Cameron's Dream.

Mr.. CvYeron dreamed when he was a
boy that lie would be massacred by In
dams at the age OF forty-seven. The
same vision was repeated ten years later,
and with such vividness that every de-
tail was left impressed upon his memo
~. He was at ranch near Brule city,
Dakota, short time ago, VIXEN his forty
seventh birthday arrived The place
was alive with friendly Indians, but he
recclected his dream, and their presence
made him excessively nervous lie went
TO bed in trepidation, and to his horror,
AS he afterward declared, the room was
exactly like the one of his dream. lie
fell asleep, and promptly dreamed that
the Indians were scaipins him. lie
bounded from the bed, leaped from the
window and fed. temporarily insane. In
the morning he was missed, and large
party of white men and Indians went In
search Of him. 1t vas three days before
they found him, for he hid whenever he
caught sight Of an Indian, and only
slowly recovered his senses He vas
naked and nearly dead with hunger.

The Fatal Belt.

There was widow lady of compare
tive youth and many personal attractions
residing in Canton, N. Y, who had, for
some time, unsuccessfully endeavored to
induce the local dentist to accept the
rank and emoluments Of her late hus-
band The dentist, however, was a
cautious man, and, although he greatly
admired the widow, declined to commit
himself. About month ago Esquire
Smelly, of Canton, gave party, which
was altogether the most brilliant affair
of the kind within the memory of the
oldest inhabitsnt. The parlor Of the
Smedly mansion was crowded with
guests, who overhowed the hall, and rose
gradually to the top of the staircase.
In the course of the evening the widow
became somewhat faint, in consequence
of the heat, and requested the dentist to
conduct her into the garden, where the
fresh air might revive her. 1t did re-
vive her TO an immense extent, and the
dentist found the garden such pleasant
place that he decided to remain with his
companion and SIN Ike Il cigar.
When the pair returned to the parlor
a curious phenomenon attracted unusual
attention. The widow wore a wide belt
beautifully ornamental with a painted
vine of some undetermined botanical
species The dentist wore Il black coat,
and, to the amazement Of the public, one
side of his right sleeve was seen to be
decorated with the green stem and
leaves and the brilliant white and vel
low flowers of the vine that ornamented
the widows belt. The conclusion drawn
by wicked and heartless people was
inevitable. There was no possible de-
Tense to be made. The widow wisely
slipped out and went home, and the den
fist followed her example, burning with
rage and wishing that all Canton had
but one back-tooth, that he might draw
| it With an old-fashion turnkey and with
out the use of anesthetics. OF course,
the widow lost no time in pointing out
TO him that there was but one way in
which he could repair his indiscretion
and undo the injury which he had cone
her. and accordingly he was within &
week brought to the altar, where he ex
plated his fault with much fortitude
and furnished an awful example of the
wickedness OF painted belts.-N. Y

EaWetter5zEe Locals,
Our Wheat ClNn.

From the latest advices we
nave we conlude that but little
over half crop of wheat will be
harvested ia amy of the South
ern States and especially is this
the case ia our own State. But
as the crop south is always
small, as compared with the
amount raised in the Northern
and Western States, and as it is
impossible to tell at this time
what the yield will be ia the
main wheat growing regions,
we can have but little idea as to
prices OF the new crop. This
much we do know-our crops
can be put upon the market be-
lore the Western crop is har-
vested, and careful comparison
shows that the first crops have;
always paid best, and while we
do not urge our farming friends
TO sell on the first market, ex-
peileace for several years past
rs conclusive that that is the best
policy. The loss in wastage and
shrinkage will almost invariably
overbalancc the advance in pri-
ces. We think this assertion
will be sustained by three
fourths of our wheat growing
farmers.
But we are not farming-we
offer these suggestions gratis,
and while we have no business
intermedlingin agricultural pur-
suits, think we do know some
thing about the dry goods bust
ness, and whether the price of
wheat is high or low if you VIII
go TO jim LUMPKIN's you can
get the value Of every dollar
you pay him; whether you want
Dry Goods, Clothing, Groceries
or Furniture, he is determined TO
give you value of your money,
even if wheat is not over seven
ty-five cents a bushel. He has
the most varied stock in town
and no man shall undersell him,
and no customer shall leave his
store feeling that it is not"Good
TO have been there"
Don't buy your goods before
you try

it carefully and feel justified in
saying that the author has treat
Jed his subject fairly and ably.
and that he has studied the bible
tholghtfully. In some par
ticulars his line of thought is new
and forcible. He relies upon the
opinions of no men, living OF
dead; the Book alone is his au-
thority. An extract will show
the belief of the writer
II conclude, that Johns work
was not a preparatory work but
simply making manifest a finish
ed work; for it was the work of
Christ to baptize the penitent be-
lever with the Holy Ghost (which
made him whole, and John with
water, made that finished work
manifest. < = : X AS
water baptism was in the days
of John, so it is now, and so it
ever will be; simply baptism
with water, to make manifest the
baptism with the Holy Ghost.
The baptism with the HolyG Ghost
is the witness to the one baptized,
that his heart offering is accept
ed; the baptism with water tes-
titled to all who witnessed the
act, that the invisible baptism
was satisfactory to the one bap-
tied
The book costs only % cents,
by mail, and is well worth the
attention of all who love to study
the scriptures.

Tribute of Respect.

AT a meeting of the various
county officers of Lincoln coun-
ty, held at the courthouse in
Fayetteville, to pay some tribute
Of respect to the memory of the
late DANIEL j. WHITTINGTON,
an old and respected citizen who
died on the 10th inst. in the Goth
year of his age at the residence
of his son-in-law. JAS. II. Woods,
near this place, the following
preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Mr.. Wilmington was born in
the State of North Carolina in
the year 1916; while quite young
he emigrated with his. widowed
mother to this county. In his
youthful days he learned the tai
ilor's trade, which business, con-
nected with that of farming, he
followed until 1852, when he was
elected Register of Lincoln coun-
| ty, to which position he was re-
elected for three successive terms
of two years each, resigning a
short time before the expiration
of his last term. He was elect
ed to the office of County Court
Clerk in the year 1858, to which
office he was reelected in 1862.
In 1868, when the Confederate
army retreated from Tennessee,
he went South, carrying with
him, and thus preserving from
destruction, the records ofhis Of
! flee which he, after the war, bro't
back and delivered safe to their
proper custodian. 35sz}
After the war Mr.. Wilmington
removed to Texas where, in a
few years, his already shattered
constitution was completely bro
ken down by disease. He re-
turned about the year 1876, help
less and stricken, to linger out
his last days amongst the people
who had known him so long and
whom he had served so faithfully.
Desiring to present some pub
lie testimony Of his worth, We,
therefore,
Resolve, That in our estima-
ton DANIEL j. WHITTINGToN
was not only Il kind, courteous
neighbor and a true friend, but
what is still more rare, true and
faithful public servant, discharg-
ing withpunctuality and dispatch
the duties Of his office; and in
preserving the records of his Of
flee in the closing years of the
late war in times OF trouble and
confusion, he displayed a faith
fulneSs, zeal, prudence and fore
thought that justified the conf
dence reposed in him by his peo-
pie, and showed that he was ever
mindful Of and loyal to the trust
they had Selectedhim to discharge
Resolved, That we tender to-
his family and friends our SINGER
est sympathy, only reminding
themthat while death has brought
to them a loss and bereavement,
it came perhaps to Mr.. Whit
tington as a glad relief from pain
and suffering.
Resolved, That copy of these
proceedings be furnished to each
of the Fayetteville papers fer
publication, and that a copy of
the same be furnished the family
of the deceased.
