lard's argument which was in favor Of

made a spirited reply from the standpoint

that three lawyers be added to the judi

THE GRAVE OF. THE POET
POE.
DIR. $. Ii. Weeks, I'm Raleig Ia
Christian Advocate.


The grave of a great man is al
ways an interesting spot. We stand
there in awe and reverence, respect
for his genius covers up what faults
he may haye had. Then, if ever, We
allow the good that he has done to
live after him. There. or never, the
evil is inferred with his bones. Ed.
gar Allan Poe lies buried in the yard
of the Westminster Presbyterian
Church, corner Fayette and Green
streets He was at first buried in the
rear Of the church, near the grave Of
his grandfather, Gen. David Poe. but
some eight years since he was put in
this more conspicuous place. The
rem lins of his wife, Miss Virginia
Glenn, who was also his cousin, were
brought from New York, aud with
those of her mother now rest under
the same sod. The monument was
erected by subscription at the time
of the reinterment, is some eight feet
high and quadrangular IN shape.
The plinth is of granite, the shaft has
on one side the poets head carved in
low relief, and his name, On the
opposite is the simple inscription:
Edgar Allan Poe, born January
20th, 1909, died October 9TH, 1S49."
His works are his own best monu.
ments. The Raven speaks more
eloquently than the words of a pana.
gyrlce, and places him in the fore-
front of American poets He has
been more grossly slandered, per-
haps, than any poet Of the century.
These changes can generally be :rac-
ed to Griswold, the author of Poets
aud Poetry Of America" Most of
his allegations have been disproyed
by men likesN. z. Willis, the poet.
and George r. Graham, the prietor
of Graham's Magazine, with both of
whom Poe worked, "and other
charges resting solely on the testi-
mOny OF an implaceable enemy and
proved liar may be considered as per-
verted facts and baseless assump-
ton" The physician who attended
him in his last fatal illness died only
about u month ago. He always
stoutly denied that Poe died in fit
of delirium tremens, and always ad-
mireG and defended the character Of
a man to whom time will perhaps do
justice at last.

aLtFS Richmond correspondent tele-
graphs a lengthy interview had with
Governor Lee yesterday upon the
subject Of the race problem anu the
probable attitude of the new admin
istration toward the South. The Gov
eruor is of the opinion that the whites
and blacks can never assimiIate, and
that negro control of State grvern-
meLts will not be tolerated. lhe new
administration should appoint reputa.
ble men to the federal offices, give
tn South talent and purity in the
United States courts, which will adj.
minister Justice and not be merely
carpet bag politicians. General Har-
rison should discOuntenance the old
policy Of irritating the colored man
in order to use him for merely party
purpose, leave the negro to learn
something useful, permit him to share
in the geaeral prosperity by. cultivat.
ing conditions that will insure him
profitable employment. If the negro
is misled and made troublesome, so
much the worse for him.

The Old Rocking Chair.

The Old Rocking Chair.
MY gran mother sat in the old rocks
ing chair
(But she was not my grandmother
then,)
And her pert little face was bewltch'
ingly fair
As she laughed a defiance to men !
Her sunbonnett fluttered like bird on
its string,
Her hair wandered free on the
breeze;
And gayly I ween did my grand
mother sing
Underneath those old gnarl's apple
trees.
My grandfather rode through tie
white orchard gate
And tethered his stead to tree;
He'd a well powerd wig on his silly
young pate,
And high tassel'd bo3ts to his kAee!
From the pink apple blossoms that
over him hung,
He brush'd off the dew with his
hat;
Till he came to the place where the
rocking char swung,
And my merry young grandmother
sat.
The hi i~gcup aud daisy bloomed
round in their pride,
Ard bees of their sweetness did sip
But may grandfather blush'd and
my grandfather sigh'd,
As he fiick'd off their heads with
his whip;
My granny she hummed her cunning
old song
Faint hear tnever won ladye fair!
SO he woed and he prayed, and before
very long
There sat two in that old rocking
chair!

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A DENTIST KILLS HIS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE.

A DENTIST KILLS HIS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 7,-Dr. ]. II.
Nyer, the Oldest dentist of the town,
shot and killed his wife this morning,
and then committed suicide by placing
the muzzle Of a revolver at his temple
and sending a bullet into his brain.
Tie death Of both was instantaneous.
The deed was ey.dentlya premedita-
ted double suicide by the Doctor and
his wife. The latter was an In
valid for u number OF years and suffered
considerably from an incurable disease.
The Doctor had a large practice, and
all the money he made was spent in at
tempts to obtain relief for his wife
from her nalady. No children blessed
their union. The affection of the
couple was strong and nothing was
spared by the husband TO add TO the
comfort of the wife. Last winter was
spent in Florida. with the hope of help.
ing the wite's health and repeated
visits have leen made to physi.
clans In nearly every part Of the coun-
try to secure relief for her. Last Sat.
urday they returned from one OF these
trips, and Mis. Nyer had been confined
TO her bed since that time. Every
circumstance points to y mutual under
standing between the two that death
could only end their troubles and her
suffering. The doctor went to his
Office this morning and spent a few
Eours. He then returned to his
residence, went to his bedroom.
where his wife still lay in bed,
locked the door and shot her in
the head. He then took a posi-:
ton before q MIRROR and killed
himself with the same weapon. Both
died instantly. A letter was found IN
the Doctors pocket addressed to a
friend, IN which he said his wife's
health and troutie with relatives bad
prompted them to end their existence,
and that his wife was perfectly willing
to die. Both of the victims were at.
tepdants OF the English Lutheran
| Church, and Mrs. Nyer was prominent
In church work. They have resided
here for 16 years and had numerou:
| friends.

The Haunted Cabin.

My aunt spent a winter in Florida,
with quite a number Of servants, and
l went with her. A wagon followed
US, loaded with a tent-cloth, provisions,
and the negroes.
The former vas stretched on mocn-
lit nights, but in Indictment weather we
usually slept under a roof, If In that
sparingly settled region it was possible
to procure shelter.
l shall never forget those balmy
nights In the wild Florida forests.
S4mbo's glorious camp fires. mounted
almost To the tops of the shorter pines,
and irfadiated everything around.
IIither and thither moved u dusky
attendants, intent on laying Dur mat
resseS and cooking our suppers. As
for me, l wa on the lookout for fow-
ers all day. l expected to see even the
roadsides gay with acacia, cacti. Jas
mine and lilies, but was sadly disap.
pointed. We often journied through
long stretches of sand as bloomleSs as
Sahara.
One day the weather threatened to
become tempestuous. Clouds rolled up
on dark grey wings OF gloom, and
threatened to deluge the peninsula.
Aunt Julia had a slight attack of
asthma. and dreaded any exposure to a
damp atmosphere. She began early
inquirlng for a roof under which we
might spend the night, but not a hu-
man habltation OF any description
could ba found for miles.
Suddenly we perceived the gaunt,
ague-shaken figure OF a ''native" in
the sandy road ahead Of us. He was
walking with the stumbling gait Pc
culiar to that class OF people, and was
closely followed by a rough little anil
NAL which l at first supposed to be a
fierce dog, but afterward discovered
was a tame coon. When we came up
with him, Auntie accosted him in her
usual polite manner, and asked If he
would be kind enough to direct us to a
place where we could get shelter for
the fast %darkening night.
"Wa.all," he replied, turning his
tallowiah face toward us. "I low ef
that's what ye're after, you've struck

with an asthmatic wheeze, and must
find a roof to shelter me from the
storm. Isn't there an old out house or
shed, that we might o~ccupys"
