HI, Lo,, JUST So!-Iti is the policy OF
some papers to endorse everything done
by their party and be considered d"isloyal
if they indulge in the slightest criticism
of the acts of their leaders. Such papers
do not undertake to mould public senti.
ment in favor of pure, honest govern
ment; they only follow the politicians
marked out by them, nc matter whether
it is right or wrong. The height of their
ambition, if they have any, is to prove
to the people that they are loyal to the
party. A little sharp criticism very
often proves good and wholesome. and
a paper that has the nerve to offer it
should not be accused of selfish and inn
proper motives unless the facts fully
warrant lt.-Newbern Journal.

breast and strobe from the room hastily.

she called upon her husband to speak 10
her. Then Rev. DR.. Newman procured
a silver bowl filled with water. and with
his fingers he sprinkled the brow Of the
soldier and baptised him.
A smile dawned upon the white fea-
lures and the blue lips moved family
Then DR.. Shrady injected some brandy
into each arm. There was a faint tut-
