of foes? The day has past for ques-
tioning the loyalty of the Southern
people to the Union. Surely there is
nothing to warrant suspicion or to ex-
cite apprehension in their natural de
sire to perpetuate by annual observan-
ces the memory of one whose stainless
career reflects honor on. the entire
country, and whose example, after the
close Of the war, set the keynote of
that loyal acceptance of the results of
the struggle which has ever since char
acterized the conduct of the men, who
in peace as in war, cherished the most
implicit confidence in their heroic
leader
Let the South honor the natal day
OF its stainless hero who was fit to have
sat at the head of the Table Round of
Alfred the Great, or of any gathering
of heroes the world has ever seen. He
was every way worthy of the highest
flight of the imperial genius of Eng
lands greatest living poet-the Lau-
reate VINO has sung SO sweetly of noble
heroes-of Sir Galahad, of Arthur, of
Wellington, of Prince Albert.
"Who revereneed his conscience as a
The shadow of his loss moved like eclipse,
We know him now, all narrow jealousies
Are silent: and we see him as he moved,
How modest, kindly, all accomplish'd
wise,
With what sublime repression of himself,
And in what limits, and how tenderly x
but thro' all this tract of
years
Wearing the white flower of a blameless
Dear to thy land and ours, a Prince indeed
Beyond all titles, and a household name.
Henceforth, thro' all times, Lee the Good. "
We hope all the Southern States will
fall into line, and following Lees
grand example of devotion to duty
and of peaceful pursuit, work in har-
mony for the developing of "the land
we love- Let us understand that
there is something greater and nobler
than wealth-than railroades or mines
or factories-than splendid palaces or
great warehouses or sumptuous living ;
that heroic and noble men and pure
and lovely women who love the do
mesticity of home life rather than the
flare and heat of society, are the true
adornments of a State and its surest
base and hope of prosperity.

WHAT the Norfolk Tirginian says
of good roads in its State, applies with
equal force to North Carolina:
Good streets for the cities; good
roads for the State; these mark the
stage of peoples progress. The next
Legislature can do no better work than
improve upon present statutes so that
a compulsory system may give us what
has not been attained under present
laws good country roads in every
section of Virginia.

Every man is occasionally what he
ought to be perpetually.
Happiness is something to hope for,
and something to love.
The Lenoir 7obie says, a public Of

Idleness is hard work to those who
are not used to it, and dull work for
those who are.
The most brilliant qualities become
useless when they are not sustained by
force of character.
1t is astonishing how much easier it
is to do evil than bear to be told of
the evil we have done.
Leisure is sweet to those who have
earned it, but burdensome to those
who got it for nothing.
Dispose of the time past to observa-
ton and reflection; time present, to
duty; and time to come, to Provi-
dence.
If we were all permitted to put our

Crime i'm Montana.

A colored man named Wheeler, a
member of the Twenty-fiflh regiment
band at Fort Missoula, Mont, was
shot and killed by Charley Fisher, an
other colored man, who keeps saloon.
A loaded shotgun was kept in the
dive, and these men, who were con-
stantly playing practical jokes on each
other, were in the habit OF pointing it
at each other and threatening to shoot.
Wheeler went through the act in the
forenoon. He was passing by the sa-
loon i'll the afternoon, and Fisher
called him in. AS he entered the door
the latter leyeled the gun at him. 1t
went off, the charge of shot taking eff
feet in Wheeler's head. He died in a
few hours. Fisher claims it was acct
dental. He was arrested.

moth ny had been heard from him,
and party, alarmed at his continued
abs nee, searched through the canyon.
Just as they were giving up the search
they came upon Johns body, horribly
mutilated. The head was nearly sew

entrails were strewn over the ground.

Rain Waters.

Rain Waters.
The valleys of most rivers are
forest-clad. While these forests have
the gigantic growth characteristic OF
fertile districts in the tropics and the
temperate zones, or take the shape
of stunted woods, SUCH as extend far
toward the poles, they in all cases
form beneath their branches, and
ABOVE the soil, a thick, spongY coat
ing, which forms natural reservoir
for the rain waters. In most regions,
this forest-sponge has u depth of more
than foot; it not infrequently attaln5
a thickness of two feet or more. Ii
can commonly take into it's. interstlceS
rainfall of three. or four inches IN
depth, or from one-siXth to one-tenth
the ordinary annual supply. ms
water is slowly yielded to the brooks
it often requires weeks for a single
torrential rain entirely to escape into
the open channels which bear 1t to the
sea. Moreover. the fallen trunks ana
branches of the trees clog the forest
shaded rivulets, making little pools
which serve still further to RESTRAIN
the outgoing of the waters. our
beavers, at one time the most widely
distributed of our larger animals, al
first making avail of these natural
ponds formed by fallen timber, learned
in time to construct more artful dams
so as to retain extensive basins Oh
water. Thus, in the natural condition
OF the North American rivers, as wen
as those of most other countries before
man began to clear away the forests
the woods constituted great system
of reservoirs, in which the rains were
retained into the period of intervening
droughts.- jScribner's Magazine.

SPONGES AT DINNER.
r rimitive Creatures That Arc All Mouth
and How They Feed.

and How They Feed.
The sponge has an advantage over
the coral polyp in its method of feed
ing. The coral has large mouth-in
fact, like a frog, its head is all mouth
While some fish are greatly gifted in
the matter of mouth, the sponge beats
them all in being nothing but mouth.
Highly organized sponges have hun
dreds OF mouths, or pores, which draw
In the water, and thus feed the plant
on the organized matter, each hole an
swering for the purpose of a mouth,
while the sponges of low organization
have no fixed pores, but possess the
curious property of being able to open
mouth or pore at any point where a
particle of food appears and attracts
the animal. There is no indication OF
when or where a pore is about to open,
for the creature is all mouth, and,
whenever its appetite is excited at any
point, it simply opens itself and takes
in the food that happens to be handy;
then shuts up its temporary mouth
again until another occasion offers, a
state of being which undoubtedly, to
the sponge, has its advantages.
The kinds of sponges of commerce
are numerous. There are the rough
grass sponge, the coarsest variety
known to commerce.; the Key West
sponge; the hedgehog sponge, found
covered with prickly points, whence
its name; the wine-colored sponge, the
bouquet sponge, so-called probably be-
cause its odor when brought up from
the bottom is not that of bouquet; the
finger sponge. the smallest sponge, and
last and most costly of all, the delicate
cup sponge; all of which may be seen
for sale, some in stores where the
sponge is a speciality and others
only in the curiosity shops. In the
West Indies the method of sponge-fish-
ing is uniform, water glass or large
tube with a piece of glass in the bot
tom, locating the sponges, then a
pole armed with hook being employed
to detach and bring them to the sur
face. In some parts of the world
divers find sponge fishing profitable

distances, bringing up the sponges in
their hands and under their arms, but
in general the method already de-
scribed is that employed both in the
West and East Indies.
The sponge is not yet cultivated,
only because the natural supply is as
yet great. and probably will always
continue so; because the sponge is of
very quick growth, and in tropical
seas found everywhere on the bottom.
Over 100000 sponges of all sizes and
all varieties are every year shipped
from the Bahama Islands, bringing in
an annual income to the islanders OF
over 100000. Should the natural
supply of sponges diminish, there is
no reason why they should not be
raised artiticially, as oysters are, and,
perhaps in future, should the demand
Increase or supply fall Off, sponge
reservations will be employed, for the
uses of the sponge are manifold, and
the demand is constantly charging
