Character Of the Modern Cigarette.
Ee,c York Sun.

Many people can remember when the Gig
arctic was the pleasantest form Of tobacco
smoking -the pleasantest for the puffer and
the pleasantest for the people pulled At.
Ladies who could not endure ordinary cigars
ofien found the perfume Of the cigarette
agreeable; Il was like . lighted pastille.
But the cigarette ofto-day Is usually ranker,
fouler and more acrid In its odor than many
> clay pipe. Young men pun tins abomina-
tlcn on the crowded platforms Of street cars,
or In mixed assemblies, where they would
hardly venture to pull away u . Pipe; and

ny THEODORE WATT.


When Death was born, there stood, with
wounded wing,
Mans Angel, bleeding by the deathless
Treei ... .-.
He prophesied day that yet should be-
A far-off day the anguished year should
bring
When, in one fearful cloud, should rise and
cling
About Gods feet worlds love agony
The prayers of all for one; then Death, said
he, ... .
Should meet and pass, even Death, the
Shadow-King.*
Is IL, o Death, thy Doomsday drawing near
Whether thou win or lose our stricken one,
Whose breathing from that bed at Wash
ington
Governs our breath round all a sorrowing
sphere
Whether we win or thou--a strain hath run
From star to star, even thou, the King, mayst
fear. -Atteneum.

several places on the frontier just after Nc
Question had put them behind him, going
west. found him a quiet, intelligent, OBJ
serving man, with kindly eye and an in
quiring mind, which he has taken care to
feed with such mental pabulum as he could
gather In the wilderness or draw from the
world he had left behind him. Years before,
In company with three companions, he made
the long, difficult and perilous journey from
the Red River of the North, across interve-
ming mountains, plains and rivers, through
deep forests by unexplored and unknown
routes, to the headwaters Of the great river
Yukon. The party spent three years in
making their journey of five thousand miles,
and were often reddced to the resources of
their rifle for subsistence. They saw the
time when they were glad to get muskrat
to keep the wolf of starvation from the tent
door. They made numerous portages from
stream TO stream in the course of their long
journey carrying their canoe OH one occasion
across a mountain and on another shooting
the rapids of swift-1owing river. Nc
Questions present station, Folt Reliance, Is
the most northerly trading post within the
limits of our American territory. 1t Is sit
uated some $50 miles above Fort Yukon,
near the river and the British line, and is
more than 1,70o miles from the mouth of
that mighty river, where it discharges the
vast volume of Its waters through deltas in
TO Behring's strait. The latitude Of the
post, approximately, is 65 degrees moth, and
the longitude 1<2 degrees west. 1t Is just
without the Arctic circle.

some cold blooded facts concerning the OPP

THE STRANDED STEAMSHIP.
The United States AbandOned-POr-
OF n Cargo Carried tO
Charleston.

The steam tug Forest City, which was
sent to the assistance OF the steamship
United States, ashore at Cape Roman, on
Tuesday night, arrived here yesterday morn
ing with the crew, twenty-seven in number.
The steamers Planter and Laura arrived
at Charleston early Wednesday morning
from Georgetown with a portion of the
cargo of the stranded vessel, which con-
sisted of general merchandise constituting
the ''between decks'' cargo, and was in
good condition. The steamers also had on
board the boats furniture and portion of
the tackle of the United States, and two
passengers, who arrived here yesterday
morning by rail and proceeded direct to
their homes.
The Charleston NewS and Courier of yes
terday says:
The Charleston tugs reached the city last
night with Captain Matthews on board,
having failed to pump out the water from
the stranded vessel, which had bilged. The
sea was too heavy for the tugs to work
alongside, and at 2 p. m. the Captain deter
mined to abandon her. When the vessel
was abandoned there was fourteen feet of
water in her hold, and the wreck was fast
going to pieces. The steam wrecking fiat
Uncle Sam, under the command Of Captain
Smith, was left alongside with a view to
save whatever could be secured from the
wreck.
Capt. Matthews and his first officer will
remain here for several days to look after
the cargo that has been saved. He could
give no information as to the value of the
vessel and cargo, or the amount for which
they were insured"
Mr.. James NJ. Barnard, of the firm of
Richardson & Barnard, agents of the vessel,
arrivedson the Forest City yesterday morn
ing. having visited the wrecked steamer,
and is satisfied that the vessel could not be
saved. The cargo that was saved and taken
to Charleston will probably be sold in a few
days for the benefit Of all concerned.

Augusta must be the place through which
the bulk of that business must come, on
account OF its position With regard to them,
II was impossible TO say as vet exactly
what would be done. As a matter Of
course, there could be no lease, or any
other arrangement looking to q control
of the Georgia by the Central, unless
certain conditions were made and the
proper security given. The proper terms
affair might fall through. 1t was
hard to say, therefore, what arrangement
would be made. "There's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip" remarked the
Chronicle representative. Chat is true,'i
said Mr.. Phinizy, "and 1t would not be well
to say confidently that anything will be
perfected. 1t is far better, however, for all
parties that the roads should work under
one system. 1t would inure to the benefit
of ALL" Mr.. Phinizy remarked that nothing
could be done until the meeting of the
Georgia Railroad stockholders in Nav.
Whatever arrangement was made would
have to be done by that convention.
The Chronicle representative remarked
that Georgia Railroad stock would hardly
remain at its present high figure. Mr.
PhiniZy said it was richly worth 135 as an
investment. 1t was q seven per cent. stock,
and as there was no tax on it, in this city
that made fully nine per cent, and ever a
hundred and fifty dollars could not be in
vested In anything else to do as well.
AS of interest in this connection, we give
the following extract from an Augusta
special to the Charleston NeUS and Courier;
"Mr. William NJ. Wadley, President of
the Central Railroad, arrived in Augusta
this morning, having been met at Millen BY
a committee Of the Georgia Railroad Direc-
tors. He stated to persons who conversed
with him that while no definite arrange
ment had been made looking to working
the Central, the Georgia and the South Caro-
lima Railroads under one system, it was
very probable that such q scheme would be
perfected. None Of these roads would
own any other, but ell would work together
for the general benefit. So far from doing
anything to injure Augusa or Charleston,
he would do all in his power to add to their
prosperity. He intended to give Charleston
as good a line of steamers as Savannah, and
make its facilities and advantages in every
respect equal to those Of the latter. He
had the good OF this section at heart, and
his earnest desire is to promote its advance
ment.
sit is au%thoritatively stated that Moses
Taylor and other friends of the Contra
bought large blocks OF Georgia Railroad
stock which, in conjunction with old stock
holders in accord with the movement for
the joint working of the roads, will control
the action of the Georgia Convention in
May. Taylor and others with him are also
largely interested in South Carolina and

The Real Holder of No. I4,0I6
Found at Last.

On the 9th of Marchth NeaCs and Observer
announced that one-half of ticket No. A.
GIG in the Louisiana State Lottery, which
drew the capital prize of $50, 900 in the
drawing Of March 8th, was held In Raleigh.
Ever since hat time the inquiries as to who
was the lucky man have been constant, and
no efforts have been'spared to find him. 1t
was at first reported that the city editor of
this paper held the ticket. Then it was
almost asserted that Mr.. II. F. Slater was
the lucky individual, and we were on Satur-
day night assured by q gentleman that the
last named party was the holder of the half
ticket.
But the public were all wrong. Yester-
day the right PERSONS name was revealed.
Information came to US from q perfectly re-
liable source that Mr.. Peter NJ. Wilson, Sec
rotary of the State Board of Agriculture,
was the fortunate person. Soon after we
received this definite information a report
er called on Mr.. Wilson at his Office, in the
Briggs building, to make inquiries as to the
matter. Mr.. Wilson declined to make any
statement whatever as to whether he did or
did not draw the money. He had been in
formed OF the fact that he was to be called
on by us, but it was his pleasure to make
no statement. He neither denied nor admit
ted the soft impeachment.
The news of Mr.. Wilson's great good for
tune will give general pleasure, not only in
this city, but In all parts of the State, for
his friends are legion. A gentleman of
much modesty of manner, he rather dislikes
notofietY OF this sort, and certainly receives
