A RISING YOUNG TAR-HEEL.

RISING YOUNG TAR-HEEL.
The SENTINEL is always rejoiced
to learn of the success of North Car
DINA boys who seek other fields for
the exercise of their talents, however
much opposed it is to having them
go.
We have before us the current
number of The Magazine Of Poetry,
published at Buffalo, New York.
1t is one of the highest class of illus
trated magazines and contains an ex-
cellent full-page steel engraving,
and a biographical sketch, of a North
Carolina boy who already reflects
great credit on the State of his ma
tivity and who, should he live, will
undoubtedly become one of the lead
ing men of this ceuntry-George
Hines German, now practising
lawyer in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Mr.. German is brother of Mr..
Maxwell German, of THE SENTINEL
editorial staff; was born in Raleigh
81 years ago; graduated at Wash
ington & Lee University, Va, five
years ago, where he captured both
the orators and the essayist's medals;
practiced law in Norfolk until
about eight months ago, when he re-
moved, principally on account of ILL
health, to St. Paul, where he is now
pursuing his profession with bril-
liant prospects before him.
He is a "natural born" orator,
probably the most eloquent man for
his years North Carolina has lately
produced, and an excellent lawyer.
And he is poet as we'll. He has
written number of verses that
would have done credit to the "mas-
ters." The following from his pen
was pronounced by our N. G.. poet
laureate, Theo. Hill, of Raleigh, as
the best written in this State for 25
years
TRANSFORMATION.
AS block of marble met the glance
Of DOnatelli's ewes.
They frightened in their solemn
depths,
Like meteorological skies.
cpl hew an angel from this stone,''
The gifted sculptor said,
"And fashion it like unto one
Now numbered 'mongst the dead. !"
No sooner thought, than chisel bright
The shapeless mass assailed,
And blow by blow, from morn till
night,
The angel form unveiled.
Soon brow was carved, alive with
thought.
Two speaking eyes outshone,
And as the master sharply wrought,
A smile broke through the stone.
Now DER stately bust the hair
Clusters in graceful rings,
And inch by inch is slowly freed
The sweep of half furled wings.
Thus mallet deft and chisel keen
The marble letters shed,
And where the shapeless block had
been,
An angel stood insteadi
These blows that smite and pangs
that pierce
This shrinking heart of mine,
Are they not the Masters tools,
Forming q work Divine?
This hope that crumbles to my feet,
This joy that mocks and flies,
Are they not the clogs that keep
My spirit from the skiesf
Sculptor of Soulsl / lift to Thee,
Encountered heart and hands,
Spare not the chisel; set me free
From these enslaving bands:
Teach me to know that every ache
That draws my thoughts to Thee,
Is but a proof that Thou wilt make

Gen. BOulanger is having a per-
petual reception at his MOTEL in Lon
don, everybody being welcome to
shake the hand of the future ruler
of France. The trial of his case
before the French senate seems to
drag. It is possible that even that
partisan body will find the evidence
on which to base a conviction want
ing. In that event the Generals
return to Paris will be a triumphal
progress, and the success of his pro-
gramme next Observation-Disclosures
that programme may be-will be
greatly promoted. He is reported
to be tellins the English frankly
that he favors an alliance of Russia
and France, as the political aims of
the two countries are identical on the
supposition that both are at war
with England, SO that-what he says
is calculated to make cold chill
descend Lord Salisbury's spine.

The Asheville Citizen suggests
that it would be a wise and patriotic
thing for the State to reproduce the
marble statue of Washington that
was destroyed by the burning Of the
capitol at Raleigh in 1881. This
statue was executed by Canova, and
was first placed in position in 1922.
1t represented Washington in the
armor of a Roman general, with his
helmet and sword on the ground by
his side, engaged in writing upon a
tablet his celebrated farewell address.
The original drawings of Canova
are still in existence, and from them
an exact counterpart of the statue
could be made by competent sculp-
tor.
The Raleigh Euening Nsitor has
completed its tenth year of existence.
We remember when the little journal
first began to make its visits to the
people of Raleigh-how it struggled
for a long time for existence, what
difficulties it had to surmount, but
did surmount, and how acceptably it
has since served SO large class of
the people of the City of Oaks. And
now, in noting its 10th anniversary,
we express the hope that its visits
may continue world without end.
It is stated that Southern men,
bers will vote solidly" for McKin-
ley, Of Ohio, for Speaker of the next
House meaning the Southern Re
publican members, who are few.
Well, we should think they would.
Mckinley is not half SO bitter against
the South as his principal competi-
tor, Reed, of Maine, who hates us
most cordially.
aWhat will they do with Boulan-
CERT" asks the New York Herald.
Inasmuch as they havn't Boulanger,
this Is like asking what the Chicago
courts will do with Tascott.

The importance of the tariff ques-
ton never received better recognition
than that which is given it in the

of the southern States with the bait

Drunkenness is not national vice in
America. On the contrary, it is rare even
among the lower classes, and does not exist in

The Americans who cook themselves within
doors, fear the cold so little when they are in

north, when the thermometer is down to
thirty degrees below zero, they give the
preference to open carriages. In Chicago,

Jonathan measures everything by his own
gigantic ell.
His notions are like the continent he in
such wonders that he feels equal to doing
anything and everything.
The result is that America is the home CT all
forms of eccentricities, of all forms o. daring.
Jonathan considers that everything is to be
had, it is but question Of will and money.
How muchf So much. Done
Fsrisians remember very well the Ameri
can millionaire who, on the occasion of his
daughters marriage, wrote to the town
council of Paris to ask for the loan of the Arc
de Triomphe, which he was anxious to decor

special use of during the day. He was politely
informed that the Arch was not to let

But, no, said he to himself, ian oratorio
would be much more impressive in a sacred

ting forth that the leg had died by amputa-
ton at the Chambers Street hospital, Novem-
Der 90; that it was 80 years old, married. and
part mother of family. The leg was buried
with all due ceremony"
The thing being quite natural, the news
paper makes no comment upon it. 1t only
supplies it with a good heading, something
like "a Leg Gone to Heaven in Advance of
Its Owner"

evidently intending to be a defaulter at the

igious services are performed, that it be
given in charge of my family, who will con-
vey it to Samson's crematory and there have
it burned to ashes, the ashes to be put in a
small bottle and given in charge of the Ger
man consul in Pittsburg. This gentleman
will then forward my ashes to the consul in
New York, who will give them in charge of
the captain of the German steamer Elba, who
will place them securely in his ship for the
ocean voyage. When at mid ocean direct
the captain to request one Of the passengers
to dress in a seafaring suit and ascend with
my ashes in his hand to the top of the top

is being performed, that it be witnessed by
all passengers on poard. After the ElDa mas
