The Negro and His Civil and rolit-

My Tar heel companion run on this

sorts of unofficial foraRing until changed
the subject and inquired:
"How are things getting along in the
south?"
"Oh! pretty we'll. The republican party
fed the niger right after the war with the
idea that they were going to get forty acres
and mule, but they never gave it to them
and they finally got tired waiting for it and
went to work, and now, darn me, if near
'ly all of them amt getting it for them
selves. The thrift and economy of these
ringers when they do work, is amazing"
My companion, in his crude way, points
to one of the great sources of recuperative
thrift OF which the South may now boast.
Industry and accumulation are doing
more to break down the barrier between
than all the power of the Federal Govern
ment could do. The moral force Of mon
eyedindependence changes the white men 8
estimate of the blacks more rapidly and
substantially than any and all things else.
Free labor is doing great things for the
South, and in the ext decade will do much
more than it has done in the last two.
1t has already changed the character of
tho products of the soil, or rather added to
them. 1t has demonstrated that land in the
south, was played with, not farnaed, and
that few acres properly titled now pro-

About His Vanity.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
How about your educational institu-
tlons?" enquired of my companion, when
he had finished about the "niggers."
oh! yes; they get along mighty well,
too. There is Chapel Hill, a big school afo'
the war, is comming up first rate again.
Lots of big men educated there. Tom
Benton used to go to school there, you
know. Mighty funny stories they tell
about the old fellow, too. They do say
that ono time when student that there
one of the boys lost some money, that
there was great commotion and all the
scholars were brought into line to be
searched, and that the missing cash was
found on Tom BeHton's neck rolled in his
cravat. heard Ze's Vance say that to
mention Chapel Hill to Tom Benton was
ever rrovocation enough for row."
This story about Mr.. Benton hung to
him all his life. Even when he grew rich
and powerful it was constantly coming up
to mock him. His overbearing manners
and naughty disposition no doubt had
much to do with keeping it alive.

described to me, as only he could do it, q
memorable scene in the United States SEN
ate in 1886, when Mr.. Leigh of Virginia
unintentienally, but forcibly recalled this
episode in Mr.. BentoD's early life.
The proposition was pending to expunge
from tho journal of tn , senate the resolu-
tons condeming General Jackson's remov-
al of public money from the United States
bank, and Mr.. Benton was in his usual
style, leading in behalf of expunction, and
had been instrumental in getting the Vir-
ginia legislature to instruct Mr.. Leigh to
to vote for the resolution. Mr.. Leigh re-
fused to obey, and in a speech of great
power giving his reasons, and eve fixed up
on Benton, he said: ''Mr. President, in
that catechism which l learned at my
mothers knee was taught from picking
and stealing and my tongue from evil
speaking" Governor Wise said that, of ali
the scenes he ever saw in the senate, this
was the most dramatic, and recalled to all
the cravat of Chapel Hill.
This recalls the scene between General
Simon Cameron and Tom Benton, once re-
It was during Mr.. Cameron's first year in
the senate, 1916 think. Benton was ap-
parently wrapped in his own greatness and
hardly recognized any of the younger sena-

either side like an elephant treading upon

The New York SenatOrship.

Two ballots were taken on Wednesday with
no special change of votes. The reports of the
bribery investigation committee were received.
The majority simply submit the evidence, and
think it would be improper for them to preju-
dice the case, now in the hands of the court
The minority submit resolution that the
charges made by Bradley, aud he acceptance
OF the money by Bradley, was in violation of
the law Of 1869. Also. that while it is IN evil
dence Senator Sessions has beeu accustomed to
receive large SANS of money as lobbyist, the
only evidence of his using money was tn t of
paying Bradley So, 900; that though Sessions
drew from his bankers 5000, and that near
ly $4,000 was drawn and used by other par
ties, there is no evidence of any being used in
the Senatorial election.

THE LULLABY OF A LOVER

Sing Lullaby as lovers do,
Wherewith they bring their babes to rest;
And lullaby can sine too
As womanly as Can the best.
With lullaby they still the child;
Aud, if be not much beguiled,
Full many wanton babes havt'I
Which must be stilled with lullaby.
First lullaby my youthful years
1t is now time to 60 to bed;
For crooked age and hoary hairs
Have won the haven within my head.
With lullaby, then, youth, be still;
With lullaby, content thy will;
Since courage quails and comes behind,
Go sleep, and 80 beguile thy mind.
Thus lullaby, my youth. mine eyes,
My will, my woes, my all that was!
can no more delays devise,
But welcome pain, let pleasure pass.
With lullaby now take your leave,
With lullaby your dreams deceive;
And when you rise, with aching eye,
Remember then this lullaby.

THE NEW LOVE AND THE OLD.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There, speak in whispers; fold me to thy heart,
Dear love, for have roamed 4 weary: weary
way;
Bid my vague terrors with thy kiss depart!
Oh, have been among the dead to-day.
And, like pilgrim to some martyrs shrine,
A we'd with the memories that crowd my
Fearing my voice, WOO the charm of thine;
Tell me thou iivest, lowest, yet again.
Not among graves, but letters old and dim,
Yellow and precious, have touched the past.
Reverent and prayerful as We chant the hymn
Among the aisles where saints their shadows
cast;
Reading dear names on faded leaves that here
We're worn with foldings tremulous and fond,
These drowned, in FLASHING of tender tear.
Or with deaths tremble pointing 1.-The be-
yond."
And, love, there came flutter of white wings,
A stir of snowy robes from ont the deep
OF utter silence, as read the things
l smiled to trace before learned to weep;
And hands, whose clasp was magic long ago,
Came soft before me, till yearned to press
Mad kisses on their whiteness: then the woe,
The sting Of death, the chill Of nothingness!
One was afar, where golden sands made dim
The shining steps Of the old trickster Time;
And one was lost A., bitter grief to him
Who wrecked his manhood in the depths of
crilne!'
Flushing the Orient lay meekly down
Among the laisies, dreaming loves glad dream;
And one sweet saint now wears starry
crown.
And thus there stole delicious oilors still
From out those relics of the charmed past,
Signs from the lips omnipotent to will
And win rich tribute to the very last;
But death, or change had been among my
flowers,
And all their bloom had faded, so thatI
Yield my sad thoughts to the compelling powers
OF the bright soul worship till I die.
Nay, never doubt me, for my loves divine
And fearful past, know my future thine
