The National Confederate Soldiers
Home.
New York Herald.i

1t is gratifying to us that the appeal
for aid made by the National Confed-
crate Soldiers Home at Austin, Texas,
is meeting with generous response in
New York. Old age helpnessness in
the distant South have stretched out
their hands to the North
This is at once a touching and
beautiful sight. In the incident one
can see how greatly public opinion
has changed on the other side ofMa-
son and Dixon's line-a boundary that
happily exists only in history Ever
since the war the people of the South
have been proud and sensitive regard
ing the broken veterans. The soldiers
of the lost cause-crippled, pauperized
and Irematurely aged-have borne
their suferings in silence. Want has
gnawed at their vitals, and yet no
word of complaint could be wrung
from their lips.
But now they turn with a regenera-
ted confidence 10 the people of the
North. They are not beggars, they
are brothers. And the first to answer
the call from Texas are the late SOL
diers of the North. There is ne mawk-
ishness on either side, buzz a manly
tenderness and patriotism that reflect
honor upon the American nationality.

The Public Roads.
Wilmington Start

Is it possible that the present Leg
islature of farmers will sit for sixt,
days and then go home without &C.
complishing the very greatest enc
they could possibly attain? Will they
leave the public roads of North Caro-.
lima in the condition IN which they
have been in the past? Who are the
greatest sufferers in this matter ofpub.
lie roads? Is it not the farmers o.
the State? Of course they are dam
aged more in their pockets by the bad
roads than all the other people in the
State combined and by probably ter
fold. Is there no man of practical
ability among the many farmers tc
frame bill that will at least cure the
crying evil in part? 1t is needless tc
argue the point. The roads are bad
very bad. Bad roads are a great set
back to commerce. Bad roads are
very costly. Bad roads retard the
transportation offarm products, goods,
&c. Bad roads break up wogons
carts, buggies, &C., and wear out har-
ness, horses, &c. Bad roads are, in a
word, a disgrace to any civilization
higher than the Hottentot or the ma
tive African.

The State jails are crowded with
criminals, and still crime is decreasing
How is this ?-M0rUing Star.
1t results that the jails, in some Of
the counties, are crowded, from the
great unwisdom of abolishing the dis
tinction between grand and petty lar
ceny; and the failure to provide for the
prompt aad appropriate punishment
! of the latter.
Three fourths Of the convicts in the
penitentiary are there for petty larceny.
I The bulk of the court costs and Jail
fees throughout the State result from
! the long confinement, awaiting trial,
of persons charged with crimes that
other STATES punish as petty larcen..
/ We have the severest code known 70
the civilization OF the nineteenth cen
fury, and we are paying dearly for it.
Such luxuries come high, and 50 long
as our people insist upon their contin-
ued indulgence, the tax payers have
no right to grumble.
The petty criminals are eating up
the substs nee of the people. The ex
penses of the county jails constitute
the greatest burden that the people are
called upt n to rear. Yet no one comes
forward with a practical measure of re-
lief. The tax payers groan and growl,
sweat and swear. The State docket is
crowded, and the terms of the cour 8
are given up, principally, to the trial
of cases Of petty larceny. Civil sui
ors are stood off, from term to term,
and practically denied justice. As
fast as one term Of court relieves the
jails they are filled up ready for another.
And SO it goes from one year to anoth-
er, all because We insist upon dignity
ing, the filching Of a loafof bread with
the stealing of a horse; the theft of a
chicken with the robbery of smoke
house; the killing Of pig with the
violence and outrage of highway
robbery.
Unfortunately we have population
much given to petty larceny, resorted
to for appeasing the hunger and want
resulting from Incidence and improvi-
dence. But we are blessed, in that it
is no worse. We are comparatively
free from the vicious crimes and helm
Gus offences that characterize some 9TH
er States. We are seldom the victims
of violence. Murder here is rare.
That greatest Of crimes is not of fire.
Quent occurrence in our State.
We are fortunate in the low grade
; of crimes. We are conspicuous by the
absence of great criminals.

Don't Fret.

One fretter can destroy the peace Of
a family, can destroy the harmony OF
neighborhoods, can unsettle the coun-
ellis of cities and hinder the legislation
of nations. He who frets is never the
one who mends, who heals. who re-
pairs evil more, he discourages and
too often disables those around him,
who but for the gloom and depression
of his company, would do good work
and keep up brave cheer.
The effect upon a sensitive person
in the mere neighborhood of fretter
is Undesirable. 1t is to the soul
what cold, icy mist is to the body
more chilling than the bitterest storm.
And when the fretter is one who is be-
loved, then the misery of it becomes
indeed lnsuppaorable.

EUGENE MOREHEAD |
One Of Durllam's Foremost and Most
Beloved Citizens Passes Away in Sa-
'vannah, Ga
durham Daily Sun, Feb. 90.

durham Daily Sun, Feb. 28.I
The SIN, with sadness, chronicles,
this morning, the death of Colonel
Eugene Morehead, which occurred in
Savannah, Ga, yesterday evening, at
S o'clock, whittier he had gone to re-
cruit his shattered health He had
been an invalid for two or three years,
and his death is but the sorrowful end
ing of the hopes of Durham, as a town,
regarding him. He spent last winter
in Florida, and when he returned to
Durham, in the Summer, improved in
health, the people gave him a royal
reception. The writer was present on
the occasion of his return, and saw the
tears as they streamed from Mr.. More
heads eyes, in evidence of his love for
Durham and her people. Only a
short time since he was reported as
improving but two days ago he suffer-
ed a relapse and died, as stated above.
His disease was consumption. X x
Durham never had better friend than
Eugene Morehead. His friendship
was shown in works. An intimate
friend of his stated to us, last
night, that he advanced money to ev-
cry creditable but needy enterprise
ever started in Durham.
He was friend of everything that
advanced the welfare of Durham and
her individual citizens. He championed
the right at all times and was not slow
in the denunciation Of wrong. He
befriended educational institutions, and
supported the churches. To the blind
he was eyes, and feet to the lame. His
counsel was Straight, and his words
were weighty in the presence of ALL
He will be missed OF him it might
be said: He was perfect and up
right man, one that feared God and
esChewed evil" + 4 There will be
sadness in many a household this
morning, for the wires never flashed
sadder news to our town.

The Loss of an Eve.

Chief Justice Paxson recently
delivered an opinion affirming the
decision of the Common Pleas Court
Of Blair county in the case of Smith
against the Peoples Mutual Accident
Association. On September 4, 1887,
Doctor George W. Smith of Blair
county, was injured by being struck
in the eve by the lash of his whip.
He at first thought the injury slight,
but finding 1t of a serious nature
feared the loss of his eve and sent a
written description of the injury to
the Peoples Mutual Accident As
sOciation, of which he was a member.
on the first of the ensuing month.
He afterWard actually lost the sight
of the eye. The association declin-
ed 10 pay the policy ON the ground
that DR. Smith had neglected to
comply with the stipulation requiring
immediate" written notice on an
injury.
The lower court gave Judgments in
the doctors favor, which Is affirmed
by the Supreme Court. The plain
tiif could not have made claim for
the loss of an eve until ne had reason
able proof that such was in danger.

Call A Constitutional Convention.

teen years ago, and becaus, of defects
IN 1t, public men are now urging the
holding Of au other Constitutional
Convention to frame n ney. fuldi.
mental law. 1t is urged that there
are too many Judges. \ Judge fur
every 10000 people has created too
many courts.
By taking this judicial district
as an Illustration The objection seems
10 be we'll taken. This district Is
comprised Of the counties of Perry
and Iuuiata The district would
not be too large to have two more
counties Of the size Of Perry OF
.JuHiata added, and thus grea;
saving Of the peoples money would
be h::d and justice and equity would
Just rs effectively DO administered.
\ Judge for population of 10000
people would b. better.
Again, the constitution OF 1874
increased tie membership OF the
Legislature. One member for every
90 or 50 thousand people would he
sufficient.
Again, the Constitution of 1874

4 decision of the Supreme Court

Unger, of Berks county, relieves the
makers of Bohemian oats notes from
considerable anxiety. In tins case
Unger bought thirty bushels of the
oats at SO bushel and WAS to re-
ceive for the resulting crop the same
price. He gave his note for the oats,
but when he came to sell his crop he
found there was no market for SO
oats He then refused to pay the
note The jury sustained him in his
action, and now the Supreme Court
sustains this decision, thus releasing
all the makers OF such notes from
their obligations in this direction.
