LAND office, which had the following
ancient inscription on the under side
its shell: &c. j. W. 1741 G.. II. NJ
There was large scar on its upper
crust, which showed that the animal
had at some period long past been
severely injured. No one will be-
lleve that the terrapin is as old as
the date on it's shell would imply but
the animal had evidently seen sever
al years pass since it emerged from
the egg.

A Trip Around the World.

The New York Times states that
news has reached the Brooklyn navy.
yard that the steel cruisers Chicago,
Boston, Atlanta and Yorktown are
to be fitted up as flying squadron
and sent on a cruise around the
world. -. 1t is thought that the squad
ron will sail as soon as the Yorktown
receives h er battery. The vessel can
quickly -run to Washington and take
aboard six of the six-inch rifles now
awaiting consignment there. II is
said that Commodore Walker will
command the squadron, and that the
Chicago will be his flagship. The
cruise is briefly outlined as COM
mencing with a run from New York
to Queenstown, then around the
British Islands, up the North Sea
and Baltic to st. Petersburg, back
again to Portsmouth, England,
across to Cherhourg, France, thence
down the French cost, visiting Brest;
over to Spain. and down the Portu-
gese coast, touching at Oporto and
Lisbon, and thence to the Straights
of Gibraltar. Commencing with the
"Rock" the cruise will extend ali
around the Mediterranean, the squad.
ron crossing to Taugier before start
ing for the eastward, and then start.
ing for India by way of the Suez canal
an leaving the Leyant. In the India
cruise the squadron will touch at
Bombay, Colombo, Madras, Calcutta,
Singapore, Bangkok, Siam, Aachen,
the Australian ports, Hong. Kong,
Shanghai and Yokohama. From
Japan the feet would travel the Pa
cihc to Honolulu, and thence to San
Francisco. On replenishing supplies
at the Mare Island yard the squadron
will steam down the California coast
touching at all the South American
paFts, and, passing through the
straights of Magellan, will come
north on the east coast of South
America. Monsevideo, Bahia and
Rio IsneiTo will come in for share
of attention, and then the West
Indies. One of the British depots
will probably be the last port left be.
tore making home. 1t is thought that
the run Can be made in two years, as
it will not be the policy of the com.
mander of the squadron to remain in
any port for more than a Jew days.

MY AUTUMN.
raleigh State Chronicle I

In its editorial columns last week there
appeared in the Charlotte Democrat a poem
entitled My Autumn" We take it that
it is from the pen of our esteemed friend,
Editor w. E. Christian, who has recently
been sorely bereaved by the death of his
young wife who was the only daughter OF
the great Stonewall jackson. The lines
sive of the grief of bereaved and devoted
young husband. They touched us strange
ly and Glled us with sympathy for Oul
friend which we cannot put into words
The poem is as follows:
MY AUTUMN.
Once there was spring for me.
When she was here;
With morning song for melody,
And blooming eyes for flowers,
And golden smiles for sunny hours;
The sky was happy-toned with love:
Twas April chant around-abOve.
When she was here.
II.
The summer came with fevered hand,
When she was here;
Her cheek was by hot wind famed,
And her eyes went out of bloom,
And clouded hours died in gloom
She walked not to her baby's cry,
Ddik ldSucS TSWcpt IIIcu cycs-
She was not here.
Ill.
Nesting, lift your little head,
And call her here
Leaves are crimsoned, falling, dead;
Heart and bOugh grow bleak and bare;
Frosty spangles edge the air.
Call her to our Autumn nest,
For our warmth lay in her breast,
When she was here.
w.
Then, then came my wintered home,
With her not here
Nor will another Spring time come,
For Joy now quivering, now is dead,
My darling and my heart are wed
Leave them-frOzen into one;
Keep away-both song and sun
For she's not here.
