SAVED.

The wind is spent and the gale is past,
And the morning sun shines forth at last;
1t shines on a strip of yellow sand,
And good ship sinking in sight of land.
Over her deck and her battered side
Lazily washes the ebbing tide;
Out of the struggle and deadly strife
Lo! nothing saved but a baby life.
A wee frail thing is the one poor waif,
A wee frail thing to be sound and safe;
But all forgotten its brief alarms,
1t gayly crows in the stranger arms.
A sailor looks at the little form
"'Tfs tiny craft to have stemmed the
STORM"
He signs a bit as he bends him low,
And his thoughts fly back to the long ago.
Just such babe on his young wifes breast
With clinging fingers his own caressed;
Just such another-but where is he?
Wrecked on the voyage of life, may be.
Is this but spared that in years to come
1t may drift away from its heavenly homer
The baby laughs as his boy once did;
All, will it be so? Nay, God forbid!
The sailors hand has a gentle touch
For the sake of the lad he loved so much;
And soft from his lips are the words that fall:
'God bless the children; God keep them ALP

STUDYING IN GERMANY.


Fewer Difficulties Encountered by Ameri-
Than by Germans Themselves.
From observation l should say that
the average age of Americans studying
at the German universities is twenty
five. A graduate of one of our colleges
or leading academies is ready to get and
appreciate the best that the universities
offer, as we'll as to observe and weigh
the political and social elements in which
he moves. His vacation travel is itself
adelight and an education. The bene-
fits of such study to men are SO well
underst TODD that to point them out more
in detail would be needless. But prac-
teal information as to the conditions of
study, as to courses and degrees. is so
vague, and in newspapers and maya
zines often so erroneous, that some facts
may be given here. The graduate of
any American college may matriculate,
in full standing, at a German university
on the presentation of his diploma
and a passport. These take the place
of the certificate of maturity (M0tetrjt-
dtSgeagnjSSj from the gymnasium or
real-school, which the German candi
date must submit. Men who have no
college diploma may attend lectures and
have access to all privileges, but
they may not become candidates for
degree. There is an impression that
American students must encounter
special difficulties in seeking a degree,
and that few succeed in gaining it, This
!. IS an-arror, Many students do not choose
to take the required subsidiary studies,
lying perhaps outside of their
special field, and hence do not try to
get the degree. But it is a fact that fewer
difficulties beset the American in this
quest than the German himself The
university is the regular and essential
avenue to the professions and many
civil careers, and competition is very
keen. But the faculties well know that
the American does not seek promotion
on German soil; they recognize the
, compliment of his long pilgrimage to
their shrines, and they are willing to
encourage him. avoiding the appearance
of anything like Il protective tariff

BLUFFING A WAITER.


Game That Did Not Go Down with q
South Carolina DarIey.
As we got into South Carolina we
We're joined by a judge from Pittsburgh.
| forget just what court he was Judge
of, but he had been travelling South for
his health. and had Just figured up that
he had paid out twenty-five dollars in
fees to walters, and was mad all the way
through. He vowed by his badness
that he wouldn't pay out another red
cent, and we encouraged him as hard as
we could.
When we went up to the hotel the
landlord gave us a big room with three
beds in it. A big negro brought the
trunks up, and when he was ready to
90 the Judge called to hins and began
''Colored person, stand up! Now |
want to say to you that | shall expect
prompt service without fees. You have
brought up my trunk; that's all right
it was your business to. | shall want
water, and may want a fire, and shall
probably ask YOU to 90 of errands, but
if you even look fees at me I'll throw
you out of the window y
We were there two days, and the
waiter was vigilant, humble and willing,
but as we made ready to depart the
morning of the third in comes consta-
bic with a warrant to arrest the Judge
for threats of personal violence. 1t had
been sworn out before a Justice ten
miles away, and the complainant was
the negro waiter.
1t took the two of us to hold the Judge
down on his back during his first par
oXysm, and when he cooled off a little
the negro slipped into the room and
said:
white man, stand up Now | want
to say to you dat a tive-dollar bill will
settle dis yer case iist as | feel now, but
if you goes to calm names or pulln'
hair or kickin' I'll stick fur twenty-five
dollars Dat Justice am my own brud-
der, an he's jist achin' to send some
white man ter Jail fur six months"
We sat on the Judge again for about
twenty minutes, at the end.of which time
he handed over the amount and was
pronounced sane.-DetrOjt Free Press

Have you ever seen that train of
white cars that makes the fast mail train
from Chicago?" said the engineer, as
he munched a sandwich at the resting
place. mo? Well, it's slcker than a
square yard of lightning, and it goes
full pitch out of Chicago every morning
at three o'clock. In my opinion it's
about the fastest thing in this country.
Well, one of the mail clerks invited his
wife down to see the train start; the
conductor shouted all aboard, and tho
clerk leaned over to kiss his wife, who
was standing on the platform, and bless
me if he didn't kiss a COW out at River
side. Now, that's what 1 call fast rail-

One of the most appetizng ways
20 warm over cold fowls, particularly
ducks. or fowls with brownsh meat, is
to cut them into pieces, and let them
simmer in gravy. Take a part of a
head of red cabbage. cut it in the thin
nest and smallest pieces you can without
chopping it, wash it and drain ii, and
fry it in fat; this may be part butter
and part dripping or even lard seasoned
with salt and pepper When it is done,
spread it out on a platter, moisten with
vinegar and lay the pieces of fowl upon it.

case, is it not we'll to select some man

requirements of the Office by long ex-
perience in public assemblies is
known to be strictly fair, just and i'm
partial, and who has, for not election
only but for'years, faithfully served
our party without reward or the hope
of reward? Such man is Col. Thos.
M. Holt, of Haw River. He repre-
sents the combination of the agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests in
our State-has had much experience
as parliamentarian in the Legislat-
ure and elsewhere; has served his
party faithfully; is manly, straight
forward and honest, and his public
record shows that he has advocated
every measure that tended to the ma
terial advancement of his State, and
among them the building of the Yves
tern North Carolina Railroad. The
people of the west will remember thi:

A Western Democrat NoIninates Hon.
Thomas NJ. Holt.
From, the Charlotte Observer.
The Speakership OF the next House
of Representative of North Carolina
is very properly attracting a good
deal of attention. The names of a
number of distinguished gentlemen
have been mentioned by their friends.
Its importance in many points Of view
is apparent.
Upon the fidelity and business-like
manner with which the duties of this
office are administered depend much
of the promptness and utility of the
session. Without any disparagement
of the claims, of others to this honor,
it must be conceded that the qualifca-
tions of Col Thomas NJ. Holt are OF
very meritorious character. Col
Holt has had a large legislative expe-
rience in>both- branches of .tha. .Gener-
al Assembly, and frequently occupied
the chair temporarily, always with
ability and satisfaction. His progress
sive, intelligent and successful business
characteristics have been recognized
at every session of his membership
and made available on the important
committees upon which he served.
Ho has for series of years presid-
ed over the North Carolina Agricult-
ural Society with great aeceptability.
His career in the Legislature, his par
liamentary experience, his habits OF
industry his personal integrity, his
party fidelity, hisnnselish devotion
to the public good, all point to Col
Holt as pre-eminently fitted for this
position; and his election would be a
graceful compliment to the agricultu
raj and mechanic classes, and accep
table to all other professions. It i:
not too much to say that the friend;
of internal Improvement, edncatlor
and all the material interests of the
State would be everywhere gratifed

The war cloud hanging over Russia
aud England is not yet dissipated,
although it seems probable that mat
ters may be settled without a. resort to
arms. The newspapers of both coun-
tries keep up belligerent tone, and
there are plenty OF accusations of bad
faith upon both sides. Meanwhile it
is understood by both governments
that there is a necessity for the settle
ment, once for all, of Central Asia
matters, and the gravity of the situa-
tion lies in the difficulty of doing this
satisfactorily. Russia's aims are we'll
known, and England's determination is
firm that they shall not be carried out,
to the imperiling of English interests
in India. Yet neither government
really wants war, so that it is probable
that long diplomatic campaign is
opening, in which the Russian intrigue
and dissimulation will pay an impor-
tant part,
