LudteS and Gentlemen
Just one year ago l came before
you to tell you Of Bess and her three
lovers but, according to my custom
when appearing before an audience,
| became excited aud could not tell
whether | was telling of Bcss's low
ers or giving You bit of my own
sad experience. The consequence
was, that stopped abruptly IN the
middle of my defamation leaving
the poor lawyer in the churn to make
his escape as best he could. Hut on
this occasion, | have decided 70 cave
Cupid's legends to be told by the
more romantic boys OF school, and
speak of the land of my birth.
From q few cottages on the Tiber,
Rome rose to a kingdom, to q re-
public, to an empire. And in like
manner North Carolina rose from &
few settlers on the Atlantic coast to
a colony, to State, to iudcPeHdence.
But standing as we do to day on the
threshold Of the twentieth century :,
surrounded b. peace, prosperity, and
happiness, it is hard for US to realize
that only three centuries ago North
Carolina was unknown to the ciyiliz-
ed world. It was then inha bIted only
by savage tribes Of Indians whose
sole occupation was hunting and
fishing and being ever ready to
avenage an injury, whether real or
aginary, they kept up a constant
| warfare with hCIghbOrlng tribes, and
regarded the bleeding scalps of their
enemies as the most honorable trO>
phiCs OfWar. But these are now buried
with the things of the past. They
were dispersed by the rising sun of
Christianity and civilization which
has so abundantIy shed it's genial
rays upon our beloved State, and
made North Caro!ina the grandest
State Of the greatest nation under
| the sun. Like the stories In Arabian
Knights tins bOundlesS Wilderness
has been transformed within less
than two hundred years to one of
the finest agricultural regions in the
world. II is the only State in the
Union that is able 10 Gil every blank
sent out 10y the agricultural departs
ment st Washington.
Where the eye once could behold
nothing but an unbroken forest, may
now be seen in the Noith-western
part Of the State, lsrgo fields Of
yellow grain, waving to and fro III
the breeze like ripping sea Of gold.
IN the central and southern part Of
the State are large cotton planta
tion8 not unlike a prairie covered
with snow. And the Eastern section
being especially adapted to corn ,
compete3 with the world in produce
Ing this great staple. And n ro
other land can be found Sch s
variety OF fICjts and flowers.
Where once nothing could be
heard bu. tne howl OF the wo.t, the
war-wLoop Of the savage, or the
scream Of the panther. can now bt
heard the low Of cattle, the hum OF
machinery the toll of the church
bell and the songs and prattle OF
merry children on their way tc
school. Villages, towns, cities
churches and schools springing VI
on every hand railroads traversing
: every portion Of the State; steam
boats plying on every naVlgabli
stream, are some Of the evidences
that North CaroIiua no longer de
serves if ever she did, to bear tht
: reproach Of being called RIP Var
: Wrinkle.

He stood with care stamped on his face
His mind was filled with gloom,
Gaunt want and he were on race;
He was looking at the moon.
He wondered if the man up there
Was hungry, tired, or sore;
If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door
"What shall I do, where can stay?"
He moaned with inward pain;
"My meal last week has gonegaway
TO meier come back again"

A FRAUDULENT DIVORCE.

Trusting 10 IL a Woman RemarrIes and
Finds She Has Two Husbands.
CHICAGO, December 28.-Mrs. Julia Dix
called at the Court House to-day to see
Judge Shepard. She had with her one OF
the Superior Court forms for divorce, which
she said had been filled In the handwriting
of Lawyer Charles j. Beattie and purported
to divorce her from Charles A. Dix. The
correctness of the instrument was attested
by R. Heber Beattie, said to be a son of
Charles ]. Beattie, and attached to it was a
notary seal.
Mrs. Dix married q man named Bennett
the day her case was tried by Judge Shep-
ard, which was, she says, also the day on
which Beattie gave her the purported de-
cree Though the case was heard by Judge
Shepard no divorce has ever been granted.
Mrs. Bennett is about to become mother,
and on learning that she was not divorced
her grief was great. She said she paid
Beattie S35 for the alleged decree. The bill
charged Dix with desertion and drunken
ness, and the document gives. his wife a
divorce for cruelty. Judge Shepard may
make an investigation, but since the APP
pellate Courts decision Beattie cannot be
punished for such offenses
This is the third time he has been de-
tected giving fraudulent divorces, and the
publication of one instance has twice dis
covered others.

fsPEcIAL TO TIE DIsPArcH.i
LocKPoRT, N. Y, December 28.-The
Lockport Glass Works will resume opera
tions on Monday. The furnaces have been
started, and all the blowers will return at the
old standard scale Of wages. In the struggle
to reduce the wages the Glass Blowers
Union has scored victory. The shutdown
took place just five weeks ago in this city,
and was the result of a general agreement by
the Glass Manufacturers Association of the
Eastern division tn reduce the wages of the
blowers on the ground hat the condition of
the market did not guarantee the prices
paid. The real condition of the Manuiac-
turers' Association precluded the success of
of such q move.
The glass manufacturers of the United
States are divided into two divisions. the
Eastern and Western. The Eastern divi-
sion resolved on the shutdown
which has cost it dear. While the
manufacturers east of the Alleghenies
have been idle, the Western men have been
running night and day, flooding the mar
kets and supplying the trade the Eastern
men look after.
The members Of the Western Glassblow-
ers' Union have been remitting money to
support their brothers in the East, maintain
ing them in their struggle to retain their
wages. If necessary the men could stay
out forever, unless their demand was ac-
ceded to. They also required that only two
apprentices be allowed to one mandatory
until their time was out
The smaller manufacturers could not very
well contend against these odds, when it is
considered that the large furnaces in Penn
sylvania could in four months blow enough
to furnish all the trade, and totally cut
them off

Military Jealousy Causes Two Warriors 20
Fight With Army sabers.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, December 28.-A duel was
fought in the basement connected with
Major Michael o'Dey's liquor shop in
Cortland street. Belleville, N. j., on
Christmas morning between Major obey
and Captain james RiordOn, a former
British officer. Between the Major and the
Captain military jealousy has existed for
long time, and some wags about the place
finally succeeded in bringing them together
in duel with swords as weapons. The
story was not made public until to-day.
The disputants went to the deserted bowl
ing alley in the basement of the building
and there engaged in what might
have been mortal combat They fought
savagely with army sabers. Not
withstanding the bravado, it was
obvious that they were expert swordsmen
and that the result of the fight would de-
pend upon their. endurance. Major
obey was finally disarmed by skill
full thrust, and he might have been killed
had not Colonel O'Connor and other wit
nesses interfered. obey was found to have
sustained badly wounded arm. Other
wise the men were uninjured. Since the
facts have leaked out it is intimated that
arrests will follow.
