W story as follows
Mrs. Hendricks asked how North
Carolina voted on the second ba~llot.and
being told it had cast its vote solid for
Bayard, she said: Il feared the hand of
New York; North Carolina was prom
ised to Mr.. Hendricks it has been
tampered with" At this point her
nephew entered and said that North
Carolina had changed its vote to Cleve-
land. That settles it said the lady
without emotion. These New York
politicians are a wealthy aud An ad-oit
set"
Apropos the above we clip from an
article by Col. j. a. Bonitz in last
weeks Ae,seager
"a statement in the Greensboro Pa
triot does great injustice to the North
| Carolina delegation. and calls for a cor
~rection. The Patriot says:
.Messrs. Ruffin, Carr, Fuller. BuX-
ton and " others were original Cleve-
land men, but were gagged by the unit
rule and compelled TO vote for Bayard.
This fact was stated BY Buxton 10 the
Convention. The Cleveland men at
tended a horse race the eyenint, before
the balloting took place, and while alb
sent Tammany made a raid on the del
egation in favor of Bayard. On their
return a meeting of the delegation was
held and the unit rule was adopted.
There was considerable kicking, but it
was no good. We thought it a magniti-
cen display of courage to throw away
two ballots on Bayard, until it was
whispered that Tamimany had a hand
in it."
The assertion that Tammany intlu-
enced in u wise the delegation, or
that those who supported senator Bay
ard were Influenced by Tammany, does
gross injustice to those to whom it APP
plies, and we feel quite sure that our
friend of the Patriot will cheerfully cor
rect the impression, we'll satisfied that
he has been wrongly informed.
No delegation was farther removed
from the communicating influences OF
Tammany than were the North Carolina
Bayard men, and this was proven by
taeir vote on the unit rule.
The writer of this, as did several 9th.
ers of the friends of Mr.. Bayard, voting
to sustain the unit rule upon the ground
that such were the instructions OF the
New York State Convention !; while al
least two of those who now claim to
have been original Cleveland men,
voted to break the New York unit rule.
This proves that Tammany met with
little or no favor in North Carolina,
certainly not with those who supported
Bayard.
As to the unit rule among the Nortl
Carolina delegation we are not prepared
to speak only from what we heard, as
we were not present at the organiza'
ton. We learn, however, that the rule
was adopted upon a motion of Judge
Ruflin, and that the delegation stood Il

A Hybrid Tree.

A few days ago DR.. Halderman, of
Franklin. was examining the timber on
his tract of land in Forest county,
which adjoins the Warren county line,
and discovered tree that is a curiosity
and puzzle to naturalisls, in the shape
of pine and hemlock tree growing
from one stump. The stump or base of
the tree is about five feet through or
fifteen feet in circumference, and the
forks of the tree are about six feet from
the ground The line of demarkation
between the two trees springing from
the same stump can only be traced
with the eye by the difference in the
wood, one-h half Of the stump being
hemlock and the other pine. Each of
the tree is fully two feet in diameter,
equal in size and about eighty feet
high. The joint tree stands on the
top of hill just below the Warren
county line, above Donaldson's Mill,
short distance below the mouth of
Queen Greek, where it joins Hickory.
In thickly settled country this tree
will be great curiosity.

The Mahdi and the Nun.

When Mohammed Ahmed made bis
triumphant entry into FL Obeid he
called on the Christians to change
their religion and acknowledge him as
the Messiah whose coming was fore
told in Holy Writ. One of the French
Sisters of Mercy, stepping forward, re-
piled that it was said in the Bible that
the Messiah would make himself known
by his miracles, and he would remove
all doubt as to his indentity by kindly
per forming one for the benefit of her.
self and her colleagues. The Mahdi
answered that the request was perfectly
reasonable, but that the tine for the
working of the miracles had not yet
come. Meanwhile, however, he woald
take the missionaries under his protec-
tion, with view to preparing them for
conversion pending the day when he
would dazzle them all by his exploits
The courageous nun, in all probability,
saved herself and her fellow Christians
by this clever reply, which placed Mo-
hammed Ahmed in an awkward dilem-
ma.
