With solemn joy. bade him enter

When 10 beside him, with slow foot

Sorrow, white-faced, with ashes in 'her

Following with anxious eyes aud voice

Aud iurrowed brow, came heavy-foot-

With open palm, unbeautiful and hard.
And shoulders bowed, Toll strobe

And Pain, with trembling limbs and fea-

And sadly-weary glance, looked
through the door.
Seeing these, my weak soul was dis

He looked on his strange followers un-

How North Carolina Is Cleaned
Of her Cash.

1t is very difficult for uneducated per.
sons to realize how they are robbed by
taxation. We have heard men say that
they never paid penny of tax, though
at the very moment they were paying
tax by using matches (taxed one cent a
box or medicines (taxed per bottle). or
tools taxed by tariff, and so on. Pro-
badly few persons have an idea how
much North Carolina pays to the Fed
whiskey and tobacco. Charlotte O5ser-
rer says:-
In the report Of the Register of the
Treasury, for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1882, (the latest annual report
printed), the statement of expenses for
assessing and collecting the internal
revenue for North Carolina is as fol-
lows:

Total receipts. 80. .S69.91

There were in 1882, in the United
States, 126 collectors of internal reve-
nue., 976 deputies, 1919 clerks, messen-
gers and ianitors, S67 gaugers, 1,0OO
storekeepers and gaugers, $50 store
keepers who received not exceeding 81
per diem, and 30 tobacco inspectors.
In North Carolina the total number ol
distilleries registered in that year was

Verdict of Second Degree.

James Mackin, the young man who
shot Michael Bacsiszta, an Italian lab
orer at Havre de Grace, in May last,
was convicted of murder in the second
degree, at Belair, Hartford county, Mary
land, or Monday last. Machiu is Is
years old. The crime for which lie has
been convicted was the murder of Mich
ael Bacsiszta, Hungarian railroad lab
orer, whom he shot aud XIII d at llavre
de Grace in May last. Mack in had met
Bacsiszta and number of other llun-
garians in the public house of John IL.
Serricks, and some rough language had
been exchanged, in which M;sckiu seems
to have been the aggressor. Shortly
afterwards BacsisZta and four compau
ions were standing on the passenger
platform at the railroad depot, when
Mackin appeared and applied all often
sive epithet to the Hungarian, to which
the latter replied. Mackin then drew
his pistol and fired twice. After the
first shot Bacsiszta advanced towards
him with uplifted hands, ''pleadingIy,"
as one of the witnesses described the
scene. The third time the pistol
snapped. The next time it was dis
charged, the ball penetrating the Hun
garian's left breast, causing death a few
minutes afterwards M&ckin's own oyi
dence was that he apprehended bodily
harm from the approaching IIungari&p
and fred twice into the ground to frigh-
ten him. While fixing his pistol, after
it snapped, his finger accidentally touched

School commissioners.

The Board met on Tuesday last-al
the members we're present.
Mr.. Everist reported that Mr.. William
Waring, trustee of Monroe school, Sixth

b. Il .. RAILROAD,
The Peninsula or Eastern Shore
Branch.

We learn that it is the intention of this
great corporation to build branch road
running the whole length of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. through the center
OF the southern tier of counties. 1t IS
possible two routes will be surveyed,
starting from the main road one of them
from North East to strike Plum Point,
on the Elk river, then crossing the Elk
river. The other route from Elkton to
near Chesapeake City. From one of these
two routes, the main road will then
run down through the southern tier OF
counties to the Maryland line The road
possibly will cross the Bohemia river
near the bridge or west of it. The com
pany will not commence this additional
great Improvement until after the COM
p!etion of their main line between Balti-
mole and Philadelphia. which is expected
to be completed by July, 1885.
In case the contemplated road should
be built, and there is every reason to be.
'icve it will, the result will be that the
lands through which it passes and in its
vicinity will be greatly enhanced in value
and the great advantage Of shipping the
produce of the farms, and the convent
ence and facilities of travel will be of
incaiculable benefit to the citizens on
the line and i'll the vicinity of the road
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the prop
erty owners over whose lands the road
will be built will meet the company in a
proper spirit, and take some pride in as
sisting their own great corporation. A
rival road of this character will certainly
greatly benefit the citizens of the differ
ent counties in thus developing and i'm
proving their property through which it
passes, and most especially our own; we
having no railroad facilities in the south
ern part of our county. The company
had an act passed at the last meeting of
our legislature giving them the right to
build this road.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It is said that whenever
certain officer in one of the districts of
this county wants good dinner, he goes
out and pulls i'm an Italian, or some
other poor fellow, and sometimes an
agent who has gone estray gets caught.
What we want to know is what right has
an officer to arrest man for selling
goods by sample without license, sim
ply on the information of another, with
no personal knowledge that he has been
selling all, and without having previ

Editor lIhig:-You correspondent read
with great pleasure and interest the able
and interesting address delivered by Will
liam J. Jones, Esq, on the anniversary
remarks to the great good his society has
done, i'll bringing men to a sense of their
moral condition, and in improving the
tone and condition of society among all
English speaking people. No one could
be otherwise than pleased, but when he
left his strong position to attack the car.
dinal belief of at least two strong re-
ligiouS bodies on the subject of "Apos-
tolic succession" he betrayed his per-
sonal prejudices, and forgot, or did not
know, that John Wesley, whose supposed
words lie quoted, was firm believer in
the Apostolic succession of the Bishops
of the Church of England, and would not
have refused Bishoprch at their hands,
and retained such love and veneration
tor his old church that he requested to
be buried in his Episcopal robes, and was
SO CURED.
Many minds, equal to those claimed
by Mr. Jones, have sifted and probed this
whole subject of Apostolic succession
from the beginning of the christian era
down to the present time, leaving no
doubt as to its truth, and no capital can
be made by the attack on the subject.
Personal intercourse with many of the
leading Methodists in England, satisfied
the writer that they still cling to the
belief and creed of the mother church,
the Church Of England, and they differ
only in church government and mode of
worship, have their bishops who like the
bishops of the Episcopal church in Amer
ica have and do not claim any temporal
power. What all the Protestants of all
denominations in this country need is
| unity Of P0Tor, not pickering, to repell the
efforts row being made to overcome them
IN this country; which, if not checked,
will destroy our free institutions, do away
with our system Of public education and
bring our whole religious institutions
under the power of foreign ecclesiastical
power. CAUTION.
