Investigation before the Senate committee yes
terday, T. J. Pophaln, of Rappahannock county,
formerly q member of the Legislature and coal
iton candidate at the last election, was examined
and Mr.. Lapham experienced some difficulty in get

to the democrats. Incidentally he told story
about Offering To bet that if it should prove true
that there had been q riot ut Danville it would
turn out that the negroes were killed and not the
white men. He represented himself as very
popular man in his own county. He volunteered
the statement that the colored men were bought

whites than negroes were bought and cheaper too.
The price was about that of sheep, So head. He

TERRIBLE MARINE DIsAsTEk.-The steamship
Daniel Stenmann, from Antwerp for Halifax,
has been lost near the entrance of Halifax harbor,
with probably more than one hundred lives. The
latest regarding the wrecked steamer is that out
of a crew of 80 and the captain and 80 passengers
only nine reached shore, the captain, FIVE of the
crew and three passengers, who are now on Sambro
Island. short distance from the main land.
Owing TO the heavy sea that prevails in the neigh
borhood of the island, no particulars can be learn
ed in regard to the disaster at present. The
captain of the Steinmann having only been in
Halifax three times it is probable that he was
not aware of the dangerous coast around Sambro,
or of the peril he was in until it too late to
avoid the disaster.

DEVASTATING FLAMEs.-FOr three days
and nights the most destructive fires ever
known in that section have been devastating
the southern border of North Carolina, ex-
tending into six or seven counties. Vast
forests of long leaf pine have been attacked.
They formed the chief source Of the timber
supply. The high winds famed the flames
into fury, and hundreds of thousands of
trees were burned, and some of the largest
turpentine orchards in the State were ruin
ed. Many farm houses were destroyed.
The people have been bravely fighting the
fire. A number of towns narrowly escaped
destruction. At Manly, on the Raleigh and
Augusta Railway, number of houses were
burned. Large stores of lumber and rail-
road sils on the line of the road were also
destroyed, and dozen turpentue distille.
ries were ruined. The country in great
stretches is but bla ckened wilderness.
Many families have been rendered homeless.
The fire has swept here and there, some so
miles in one direction and 80 in another.
Few places, it is reported, escaped, The
fires were caused by burning brush. The
high wind drove the sparks into the turpen
tine woods so that they went in many direc-
tons at once. The fires extended far into
South Carolina. On the lines OF the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad, the
trains have been running through miles of
fire. Two dwellings and eight or ten barns
were burned in that district So far as now
known, no lives were lost.

THE ANGEL SLEEP.

When the day is done and the shadows fall
Over the earth like dusky pail
Then from the mystic, the silent deep
Rises the beautiful Angel Sleep.
Der field and forest he spreads his wings
Where the cricket chirps and the wood bird sings
And the murmur of voices dies away,
Still by the Angel calm and gray.
Human passions that surge and swell
Are silenced under the mystic spell,
A nd tired hearts that are used to weep
Yield to the power of the Angel Sleep.
Soft he broods till the morning gray,
Then as noiselessy glides away,
And the spell is lifted and hearts again
Take up their burden of care aud pain.
We call him Death. It's the Angel Sleep
That comes at last from the silent deep,
And smooths forever the brow of care,
And Gains the fever of passion there.
So we sleep and rest, till the morning gray
Breaks once more of an endless day.
And into the mystic, the unknown deep,
Flies forever the Angel Sleep.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 5.

70 MORROW palm Sunday will be ap-

as.d mind can be convinced of one instance
at least Of the literal fuifilment Of scripturai

tory enthusiasm of rabbles which one day

Now in Matt. xiii, SO, after the enactment
of the foregoing, the Saviour Himself makes
