MY WIFE.
By WM. j. DAWSON.

SHE Is my wife, and all the livelong day
think of her,
And in the deep oblivion of the night
Idream of her;
When she is near sweet and tender caln
Like the murmur'd sound of an angel.
Pleading for man.
She is my life, if love is life's author,
Guardian and friend,
Guiding my feet from the pitfalls of woe
Fer To the end
When she is far my Eeart is sore oppressed
And sadly Oeat IS against my weary breast
Like pri>Oned bird that seeks its distant
nest
With restless wing.
She Is my soul. if from the soul there leap:
That holy fire
That scorchcs at its birth the poisoned
glance
Of base desire
She lights ME as of old Ger desert sand
AS Turing wales of sense was lit that band
That followed Moses to the promised land
OF rest and peace.
Ah wife Of mine, my wife, my soul, my
all,
Be ever near,
May chilling shadow Of thy loss ne'er fall
Upon me here;
But down the opening aiSles Of future years
Be by my side to quell the rising tears
That flow from hidden springs of doubts
and fears
Within r.y breast

Hon. w. II. H. CowLEs, of the
North Carolina delegation in Congress,
speaks encouragingly of Democratic
success in the State election. He is
represented by the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Star, as
saying:
With the promise of the slight re
duction in the internal revenue tax
which has been promised us, North
Carolina will be as solid as a brick for
the Democracy this year. The peo-
pie down there think President Cleve-
land is their great defender and
champion. His recent tariff message
is taking we'll with them and is grow
ing more popular every day. They
account for his position on internal
revenue taxation on the ground that
he considered it of secondary impor-
tance to the tariff question. They dc
not think that it means tha: he would
oppose by his vote any measure oi
relief for the internal revenue system.
Taking the whole political field into
consideration, the President has grown
and strengthened in the hearts Of the
people of North Carolina ever since
his Inauguration, and he was never Sc
popular as he is now. Things are
looking bright down there now, and
we will give the Republicans such :
beating this fall that we will drive
them out of the State.

The Local Press.
1Durham Recorder.l

A town cannot do too much for its
local press. II is the office of news
paper to represent we'll the interest of
its time: reflect the sentiments Of its
locality f; guard the rights Of the peo-
pie among whom it is published and
disseminate sound principles; honest in
its correction of abuses, and fearless
in maintaining truth and justice. To
successfully do this the people must
take a lively interest in their home
paper-subscribe for it; advertise in
it; talk it up. A town without live
newspapers is dead place.
View the matter in another light.
The publisher has his capital in the
enterprise. His time and energies are
spent in serving the public. His sup
port, and the return for the outlay in
the enterprise, is based upon the pat
rona3e he receives. Better the pat
ronage, better the paper. The united
efforts of all enables him to improve
his journal and more satisfactorily
please his readers.
Few people, outside of a newspaper
office, know what paper is called
; upon to endure. As the Burlington
Haaoktye has we'll said, the press en-
dures the affliction of dcadheadism
f;om the pulpit, the bar and the stage
from corporati2nS, societies and IN
dividuals. 1t is the truth. 1t is the
common idea and generally expected
to yield its interests. 1t is requested
to give strength to the weak, eyes tc
the blind, clothes to the naked, bread
to the hungry. 1t is asked to cover
up infirmities, hide weaknesses, wink
at quacks, bolster up dull, sap-headed
politicians and flatter the vain. 1t is
thought to be the duty of the press to
spend several dollars in putting a ten
cent article with no return for the
trouble and the expense. 1t is, in
short, to be all things to all men; and
If it looks for any reward it is de.
nounced as mean and sordid. There
is no interest under the whole heavens
that is expected to give SO much tc
society without pay or thanks as the
press.

Taimage's Income.

Talmage, the Brooklyn pastor, ed
itor and lecturer, has larger
income from his work than per
haps any other brain worker in the
United States. As the Tabernacle
preacher, he receives princely salary
and as purely business proposition it
pays the official board of that church
to employ him at sa5,o a year, as
he draws the biggest crowds in the
city. The great Tabernacle is packed
every Sunday, rain or shine, and tie
basket collections are, of course, very
large. The same sermon that is
preached to the Tabernacle audience
Is sold to newspaper syndicate and
is published in about 1000 papers
in Europe and America-and now a
syndicate has begun to "handle" his
" Friday night talks He is editor
of Frank LesAe's .Snnay Magazine,
and for this work he receives several
thousand year for his popularity. Pond
the amusement agent, paid Talmage
$50 lecture more than he paid the
Plymouth pastor. He was "biggel
card" Beecher and Talmage were
always noted for their industry, but in
the last two or three years, since the
demand for Talmage has gone ahead
of time, the vast amount of wori
that he gets through with in :

his private secretary and stenographe
very busy, for his daily mail is almos
as heavy as that received at the White

FRIGHTFUL BLIZZARD.
Such Weather in the West as was
Never Before Known-Great SUI
fering and Loss Of Life.

JUST 10 snow SOlIletlllilS vi tiiC CllCStS
of genuine blizzard in the West, we
clip from the newspapers a few dis
patches of the 12th-the first one from
St. Paul, Minnesota, as follows:
Railroad men agree that the storm
of to day is the worst ever known in
the Northwest for their business. 1t
extends from the Rocky Mountains to
Lake Michigan, but its worst effects
are felt IN Dakota and Minnesota.
Everywhere it has been accompanied
by high wind which drifts the snow
badly, and in northern Dakota with
below zero temperature it assumes the
character of genuine blizzard. The
railroads had hardly finished clearing
their tracks from the previous storm,
and that of to-day has absolutely
blocked all the small roads, though
the through lines are battling bravely
against the elements to keep trains
moving. Trains on the roads to Chi
cago are one to nine hours late, but
all the main lines are still open and
Eastern trains left as usual tonight.
All freights on the Northern Pacific
and Manitoba lines have been aban-
doned, and no trains were sent out on
these roads tonight. The Kansas
City train on the Omaha road was also
abandoned. Supt. Egan, Of the Man
itoba line, s2ys the passenger trains
are laid up at stations where there is
plenty to eat. The St. Paul and Du-
luth road is trying to keep its main
line open, but has abandoned the
branches
A special from Huron, Dakota,
said: "Ihe wind is blowing fifty
miles an hour. The air is so full Of
snow that one is unable to see fifty
feet at any time. Some unthinking
teacher dismissed young school chill
dren, some of whom have to 60 four
or FIVE blocks across the open land.
Five or six children got lost. Whis-
ties were blown, bells rung and people
turned out and took long ropes and
walked fifteen or twenty abreast back
and forth over the ground. They have
found two, but the others have not yet
been discovered. The mercury is four
degrees below zero, and has fallen
twenty-eight degrees since 10 O'Clock. "
A Pierre, Dakota, special said the
wind blew sixty miles an hour, and it
was impossible to see one hundred
feet.
Minot, Dakota, reported the storm
raging there and the temperature IS
below zero. All railway travel sus-
pended. Jamestown, Oak, reported
no trains moving on the main line oi
the Northern Pacific Groton, Oak.
reported the wind blowing gale, the
mercury 10 below, and impossible to
see more than two rods.
Sioux City, Iowa, says the blizzard
there was the worst in years.

blizzard and its work was sent to the
associated press from ST. Paul, Mimi.

f. A. Forbes, Chicago lad Of six

several thousand bushels of wheat Mt
seventy six cents. The market went his
way and wheat climbed up to ninety
cents. Forbes closed his trade ut that
price, clearing, as he told his friends,
$4,000. Had he stopped there all
would have been right; but he didn't.
One taste Of the excitement of the pit
was not enough. He went in again, this
time to make colossal fortune. He
bought heavily. The market fell. Little
by little he lost what he had won. He
became panic-stricken and held back
paying margins Attachments were is
sued against him, but nothing was

The Philadelphia Macs says that the
Philadelphia Mint cannot keep up with
the demand that is being made ON it
from the South for pennies, and that tho
increase in the use of the penny in tho
South has, of late, been tremendous.
According to the Atlanta Constitution,
"ihc action of the Georgia Railroad
Commission in requiring exact change
to be given by the railroads to persons
buying tickets has, no doubt, much to
do with the increase in the use of pen
mics in this State They are used now
in merchandise in this and other States,
where few years ago they could hardly
be passed. This is good sign, and it
will be found beneficial to tho South il
the penny comes into MS general use hero
