DECORATIVE DOTS.

PRETTY easels to hold shells or pictures
can be made by using for foundation the rul-
ers or measures which are now distributed
for advertising purposes. Split them and
cover them with velvet. If you choose to
tie the parts together with ribbon, you may
do so, and simply sew them with strong silk
or thread.
GOOD way to cover straight-backed
chair which is in use in the common sitting
room is to cut piece of cretonne the exact
size of the back; hem it with a narrow hem,
and then with a sharp steel crotchet needle
put on a narrow border of worsted; pin this
to the chair-back with long black-headed
pins. This is useful and pretty covering,
and is easily removed and kept in place also
HANDSOME mats for a table, on which
nothing is to be placed unless it is a little
easel or some article of this kind which will
not conceal the mat, are made of one block
of satin, with figure embroidered or paint
ed on it (; have small block at each corner
of different colored satin or velvet, and
slips at the sides, thus making border, put
three tiny tassels at each corner, at a suita-
BILE distance apart: Line the mat so that
it will lie smoothly in its place.
BESIDES tides and lambrequins for the
mantel and table spreads made of macreme
or fish-cord or carpet-warp, very handsome
window lambrequins are made also, and
when one considers how short time it takes
to crochet them, it does not appear to be
much of a task. One industrious woman.
who never sits with idle hands, has made q
bed-spread also, with broad bands of ribbon
run in it; 1t is really elegant piece of fam
cy work, and one which will never wear out
The stand scarfs are pretty when crocheted
of an open work pattern, and lined with scar
let or blue silesia. The lining, of course,
costs less than the ribbons.
A PRETTY scrap bag is made by taking
fonr pieces of Java canvas a quarter of 8
yard deep; cut the corners off so that the
pieces shall be pointed at the bottom and
rounding at the top. If of blue all wool ia.
va, work in embroidery silk pretty design
pn each piece, a fan on one, a Kate Greena.
way figure on another, in bright colors, yell
low and pink being especially pretty. In
order to have guide to work by, trace the
design on SONG very thin paper, paste this
to the canvas, and after working the lines
pull the paper carefully out; then with
worsted the color of the canvas crochet one
or two rows of close work around each piece
and crochet them together; finish with cord
and two tassels, and have either hbbon ts
hang it by or anot her card snd tyo tasse
or a cord alone.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.
Closing Remarks of Col. w. C. B. Breckepridoe's
Speech at Chicago

Ny brethren, | have heard much of
a revival of the faith of our fathers. of
going back to the days of the fathers.
| pray for the spirit of the fathers.
Democrats, our fathers were progres-
sive; they believed in the people, they
trusted the people, they were the true
radicals. We must raise once more
the standard of the Democracy that
was once full Of hope, candor and cour-
age, for it had no secrets, it had no i'm
proper object, and it had the people at
its back. [ pray for the revival of
that courage-a courage that shot de-
serters, and made no compromise of
principle for eapediency; for revival
Of that candor that kept nothing hid
because it felt that there was nothing
Of which it needed to be ashamed. 1t
was simple creed our fathers held,
Federal Government supreme IN ats
sphere Of limited and delegated poarers;
State governments sovereign IN their
sphere; an impartial and just distribu-
ton of the public burdens, so imposed
that each paid his share, and only his
share, of the public tax; no imposition
of taxes for any purpose other than
public and government object; strict
economy in the public service; a rig
orous responsibility in the expendi-
lures Of the public moneys; a. sound
currency based on coin; careful regard
for all contracts, and scrupulous per-
formance thereof according to their
tenor; implicit obedience to the law !;
a bco1uto Y,rot otio,, o. 4 o,,,o II q Iro,d
Of every American citizen, the freedom
of person, of speech and of franchise !;
the purity of elective franchise, and
prompt obedience to the will of the
people as expressed at the polls, cor
dial relations with all the world on the
recognized condition that no foreign
power should have new foothold on
this continent; warm sympathy for all
people not so free as we; an earnest
welcome to all whe would cast their
lot with us; absolute faith in the hon.
esty, courage and intelligence of the
people, and in the growth, wisdom and
prosperity of their country. Let this
be our creed to-day, and we will
achieve for our posterity what the
fathers did for us. Our destiny is GER
tain. We may be the leaders in the
events which will mark our history,
or others may lead lis. To lead, We
must have the confidence of the peo-
pie, and must deserve that confidence.
Whenever they believe that the Dem
ocratic party do believe in that creed,
and will in good faith administer the
Government in the spirit of Jefersop
and Jackson-in the spirit of economy
and progress, of courage and fidelity
we will be given power. The people
know their power and our country's
destiny. They will follow where men
lead. There is 40 antagonism between
the sections. Justice to each and all
is possible, and plead tonight for q
renewal Of that spirit which knew the
interests and rights Of each State and
section and gave to all equal protec-
ton. Inscribe OH our banners tonight

FROM THE HILL.
THE CHEEKY MAN" AND "BORE."
How the Festive coIIegians Recognize Embryo ability
and Give it Boom.

CHAPEL HIzE, n c., May 1st, 1882.
At the regular annual meeting of
the students of the University of the
State, held at Gerard Hall to-day for
making the usual May elections, the
following proceeding were had. Mr..
w. I. Dortch, Jr., was called to the

number of well known and notorious
names in the College public, were
placed in nomination for the Borer's
Medal AS result of this election,

ceived the honor. This was indeed
mplimentary to the acknowledged
ability and well earned reputation Of
this college notoriety. For he had
several decidedly worthy competitors,
deserving in the estimation of many of
their fellow students tokens Of their
unquestioned accomplishments in this
direction. As the other honor in the
gift of the meeting, the Cheeky Nan 5
meOal, IL was Ifeely ana enthusiastically
conferred by q large majority of the
suffrages of his fellow students, upon
Mr.. J. r. Monroe, of Fayetteville, a
young gentleman whose shining quail
tiles and unreserved congeniality en-
inently entitle him to the signal dis
tinction at the hands of his fellow
students
The following resolutions passed the
meeting.
Resotued, That the Secretary be in
structed to communicate the proceed
ings of this meeting to the Wilson Ad
vance and the WESTERN SENTINEL

On motion the meeting adjourned.

In his autobiography, ANTHONY troll
LoPE expresses an opinion to which we
expect the literary world, II not the world
OF novel-readers, to give in its adhesion
before many more years shall have passed
over our heads. 1t is, in brief, that
DICKENs's characters are most OF them
mere puppets impossible men, women,
and children; that no such persons ever
existed save IN the brain Of DICKENS HIM
self. This does not argue that the public
will not read DICKENs's novels. Novels
are like plays, operas, and tragedies. Peo-
pie expect in them absurd exaggeration.
Nobody ever sang song whilst he was IN
drticulo mortiS, mot even the swan does
that but all the same everybody goes to
the theatre and "makes believe" that he
considers such thing possible.
by the way. speaking OF Mr.. TRoLLoPE's
autobiography, we will add that in it he
puts THACKERAY at the head Of British
novelists; says that WnKIE CoLLINs's
novels are all plot and nothing else; tells
exactly what sort of novelist BULwER was !;
lauds GEORGE ELIOT, OIrs. LEwEs) and
tells us that her husband could see no
faults in her work, &C., &c. The book is
very interesting.

by the best artists. New York: II.
WORTmNGToN. 1884. Price S1.50.
In the preparation OF this volume, the de-
sign has been to give to children OF all ages
a greater amount and variety Of entertain
ing reading, and at the same time greater
number Of fine engravings, than have ever
before been put together in similar form.
The result is the production OF a book OF
the approved quarto shape, which will be a
formidable competitor among books Of its
class. The text has been furnished by
many American and English authors. all
more or less noted as writers for children.

Extirpate the Whole system.


The New York Tribune heads an article
" Abolish the Fees" and in the course Of
it refers to Il report, recently made by Il
special Government agent in South Caro-
Ira, that sham Illicit stills have been set
up in that State. The 1riJune'S theory
is that 10 abolish the fees and pay salaries
will put an end to much corruption and
not iniure the public service.
But that is not what is wanted as to the
Iuternal-Revenue Department, however it
may be as to the Department of Justice or
any other department OF the Government
at Washington. What is demanded by the
people OF the United States is, as General
MCCLELLAN said in New Jersey day before
Yesterday, the abolition OF all war-taXes-
or, to phrase it differently, the total eXtir-
patton of the internal-reyenue system.
The Lynchburg Convention spoke for the
people of the whole country-as follows {:
eve favor unconditional and imme-
diate abolition OF the internal-reyenue sys-
tenn nursery of spies aud informcrs, a
menace to the freedom Of elections, an in
| tolerable burden on the taxpayers, n
source of the greatest corruption, and i'll
its practical operation special burden on
this State and her interests"
That's what it is. and that is why il must
ego" The internal taxes are war-taXes-
never heard OF before the war-and ought
to have been abolished long ago. The
country is at peace within and without.
The people are tired OF paying war-taxes.
There is no necessity for 1t, and therefore
no excuse for requiring these taxes still to
be collected. The Government does not
need the money at all, having an abundant
revenue from other sources.
Vote the Democratic ticket next Tues
day, and you will cast ballot which will
count in favor OF repeating all laws levying
} internal taxes. The Coalltionists Will next
year be acting and voting with the Repub-
licans, who as party are opposed to the
repeal Of those laws. The Democrats OF
Virginia will next year, as now, act and
vote with the Democrats, who as a party
will vote for abolishing the internal.reye-
nue. system. Mr.. RANDALL. is an open adj
vocate of this police. The last Democratic
State Convention of Pennsylvania came
out, as Mr.. RANDALL did, on the side Of the
taxpayers. In word, whilst there NAV
be Republican congressman here and
there who will vote with us OF Virginia
for doing away with the internal taxes,
and Democrat here and there who will
vote 10 perpetuate those. taxes, neverthe-
less IL Is true that il the Internal Revenue
Department is ever abolished it will be
abolished by the Democrats.
| Tobacco-planters, ponder this matter.
Let all classes vote the Democratic ticket,
and encourage our allies Of the national
Democratic party TO press forward In this

The Atlanta Constitution SAYS

"Tbe truth is, the ciyil-rights act was
conceived in fraud. II was the result OF a
deliberate scheme TO deceive The negroes.
and it succeeded. There was not Repub-
lican of any intelligence in the country
who did not know that Congress had
neither moral nor legal rignt TO guaran-
tee social privileges to a class or race.
But the law was enacted with the view OF
deluding the negro with the idea that he
was under the special protection OF the
Republican party, and it was only one OF a
series Of maneuvres intended to secure the
votes Of the negroes at the polls"
The above is "the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth" in Il
nutshell. No greater fraud ever disgraced
our national legislation or bamboozled an
ignorant people than this same ciyil-rights
act. The only wonder is that the more in
telligent negroes had not realized its rank
hypocrisy long ago. That they have not
is poor commentary upon the results
OF education among them.

WENDELL PHILLIPS TO COLORED

WENDELL PHILLIPS TO COLORED Men,
Boston, October 30.-At the meeting OF
the Independent colored voters tonight 4
letter from Wendell Phillips was read. He
sets forth the great need OF some nucleus
for the race to rally around in defence OF
their civil rights. The statute is practi-
cally annulled by the Supreme Court, and
he says that in such an emergency they
must support their true and tried friends,
and that one OF the best friends the colored
race has ever had is Benjamin +. Butler,
whose record of the treatment OF the slaves
and the enlistment of the colored men OF
the South he details at great length.
WENDELL PnLLIPs's endorsement will
sink BUTLER lower than ever in the est-
nation OF the southern people. Like
master, like man." and Uice versa.
II is not at all improbable that a new
party may be formed in favor OF amending
the Federal Constitution so as to give to
Congress the power to reenact the civil
rights bill, OF else to agitate for the passage
Of such law in every State.

Only Derailad.

The voters who went of from the Demo-
cratic party few years ago on the question
OF readjusting the public debt may be CON-
pared TO railroad car derailed by some OBJ
struction. The obstruction, whatever its
nature. was out of its proper place. SO
with the obstruction which derailed so
many good Democrats. 1t was out OF
place. II ought net to have been put upon
the track. The disturbance in their case
was the State debt. 1t was that impede
ment which threw them of the Democratic
track.
But the obstruction no longer lies upon
the track. The public debt has been put
into its proper place. 1t has been turned
over TO the courts. The RIDDLEBERGER
bin has been decided to be constitutional
by the Supreme Court OF the United States,
and the Democratic party OF Virginia has
acQuiesced in that settlement, thus remov-
ing the obstruction which threw you of
from the party track--derailed you, SO to
speak. Why, then, should you continue
to "bump" over the stones OF Stalwari
Republicanism? Why should you not re.
sumo your place on the track OF the Demo.
cratic partys Why not get upon the Dem.
ocratic rails, and follow the way that leads
TO Democratic success next years
The enemies OF the Democratic party
say, and the Democrats themselves fear,
that you have not only run off the Demo.
cratic track but have run upon the Repub-
lican track. Is this trueH Can il be possi.
bic that the placing OF such an insignif-
cant obstacle as the State debt In your way
could have caused you TO go over to the
Republican traeky We are not willing 10
believe II. Your old friends await your
return with confidence. They hold that
you have merely been deraiIed-thrown of
the Democratic track at one single point.
and by an obstruction which no longer lies
upon the rails.
What say you, Readjuster Democrats I,
II the Funders placed the obstruction IN

October 81, 1888. !


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The writer asks for information.
Does not the law require the names OF
newly.registered voters to be posted up
before election-day? | understand they
have not been posted in the town Of West
Point.
Would it not be well for Democrats TO
look aceH to their laurels? understand
that when some colored voters have pro-
missed to vote for Gibson they have been
made to swear at Coalition meetings on
the Bible that they would vote for Ander-
son. W.
The law is as follows.
at shall be the duty of the registrars,
loithin .fre days after each sitting, to have
posted at three or more public places in
their districts wards, and election dis
tricts, written or printed lists Of all per-
sons admitted 10y them to registration, and
also to have written or printed lists OF all
such persons added posted on each day OF
election at each place OF voting in their
districts, wards, and election districts"
