INGRATITUDE.

Silent and helpless there she lies
A woman old and gray;
The scenes of life before her eyes
are fading fast away.
Her face once youthful and so fair
is furroWed deep with pain;
But deeper still the lines of care
Upon her heart and brain.
Her children gather round her there
a last farewell to say
To her whose every wish and prayer
Goes out for them each day.
And many a tear OF anguish falls
From eyes unused to tears
As memory 100 late recalls
The sacrifice of years.
Moved by the power of love, too long
In his cold heart suppressed;
Her son puts forth his arms so strong
And folds her to his breast.
And says: Dear mother, must you go
And leave us here behind?
You've been Though every scene below
a m Their true and kind"
She whispers low, the while is shed
A light her pale face DER;
Through al these years you We never sal
such tender words before
They listen now with eager breath
To hear such loving tone;
But she is silent now in death
And they are left alone.
Oh. hearts that early toll and late
Through all the drea1y days:
How sad till deaths dark hour to wait
For one sweet word of praise.
Oh. mo hers dropping by the road,
We own with bitter tears;
It's more ingratitude' DARK load
Than burden o. the years

Poor Humanity.

The common lot is one of sorrow, say
at least-the pessimists, they who look at
the worst side Certainly what would
otherwise De a bright existence, is often
Swallowed by some ailment that overhangs
it ike a pail, obscuring perRetually the
radiance that else would light the path.
Such an ailment, and very common one,
is nervousness, or in other words, weak
ness of the nervous system, condition
only irremediable where inefficient or i'm
proper means are taken to relieve it. The
concurrent experience of nervous people
who have persistentIy used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is, that it conquers en-
tirely supersensitiveness Of the nerves as
well as diseases-so cslled-Which are in
vited and sustained By their chronic weak
ness. As the nerves gain stamina from the
great tonic the trouble disappears. Use the
Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, bilious
ness and kidney troubles.

Tricks of Trade.

Perhaps there are some people who
think that the age of humbug is really
past, and that in America at least, the
tricks of trade are confined to street huck
sters. But that is not the case. Of course,
in such comparatively humble CONNER
cial line as the cigar-selling business one
rather expects little sharp practice. For
instance, the other day, grocer in large
way, whose store has tobacco department,
happened to want a cigar himself when he
was out on the Black Bay, and stepped into
tobacconist's there to get one. There was
nothing about his personal appearance, by
the way, to suggest that he was a con-
noisseur of cigars. The grocer looked over
the boxes in the tobacconist's show case,
and, pointing to box, asked:
GLOW much are these p
"Ten cents"
The grocers recognized the cigars as Of a
brand he handled himself; in fact, he
knew them very well.
care you sure they are ten cents" he
asked again.
"Of course 1 am !" said the tobacconist.
"All right said the grocer, ''but as
buy these cigars for my own establishment
at the rate Of So so hundred, didn't
know but you might have made mis-
take"
''Oh, well" said the tobacconist, REDEEM

suppose you can have 'em for FIVE cents

TIE PASSIONATE POET.
swinburne Dispensing Lollipops to Chill

From Pail Nall Gazette.

How very conservative Mr.. Swinburne
is in his daily habits. He generally takes
an afternoon walk from Putney to VIM
bledon, where he puts up" for 4 quarter
of an hour at a house he is fond Of visiting
He never carries a walking-Etiek or an
umbrella, though have it on good author
ity that he is not above lining his pockets
at a eonfectioner's shop with sweets and
biscuits, and dispensing these freely to
Youngsters whom he meets on the road.
The other day Wimbledon was deluged,
and the Common especially was a place to
avoided, but when the downpour was hesv-
iest-about 1 o'clock saw Mr.. Swim
burne calmly marching along toward his
usual resting place, and he was protected
against the ungentle rain from heaven by
neither umbrella nor macintosh. He
was wet through From his large-brimmed
felt hat rills OF rain ran down upon his
garments, his face was shining as if
anointed with oil, his long white cuffs

The number of stories, by the way,
which are told at Wimbledon about the
poet. whom every child in the village
knows and admires, (the admiration being,
no doubt, kind of cupboard love-, is
quite endless. The other day l asked the
confeetioner's wife whom Mr.. Swinburne
honors with his custom, whether she knew
who the gentleman was who had just left
her shop. "Oh, yes" she replied at once,
'thafs Mr.. Swinburne, private gentle
man, but he isn't quite right in his head;
he is what they cali poet, | am told"
When he is walking along in his soldierly
fashion, Mr.. Swinburne never takes his
ewes off the ground, and evidently does
not see that he is the observed of all
observers. The other day a charming

Desperado's Death.

Several days ago it was announced
that Bud Mccoy, one of the most no.
torious of the Mccoy faction i'll the IA
nous Hatfield Mccoy feud, had been
murdered The particulars have at
last been received, and are about as
follows: On Thursday afternoon of
October Both, as Bud Mccoy was
leaving the house of John Joslin, on
Peters creek, Pike county, KY, where
lie had eaten dinner, he passed Bill
Dyre and Pies Mccoy. AS soon as
his back was turned the pair fired on
him. At the shot Bud fell from his
horse dead Several more shots were
fired into his PROSTATE body, and his
head beaten to jelly with a stone.
Ait,r committing this fearful crime
the mur,lerers fed A pursuing par
" was quickly made up, and the chase
began Ga ii branch of Knox creek,
in Buchauan county, Virginia, the
pair were overtaken, and short fl sht
ensued Pies Mccoy received aslight
flesh wound on the cheek aud surren-
dered. Dyre dropped his rife and
fed, and has not as yet been appehen-
Ied. A reward Of $3.50 has been of
fered for his capture. There are sew.
eral stories afoat as to the origin of
the killing The one most believed is
that some years since Bud Mccoy ran
away with sister of one Aaron Smith
and then deserted her. She afterwards
became the wife of Bill Dyre. He
was acquainted with her past, but new
err forgave Bud. Smith was an ex
Jail bird, having escaped from the
Pike county Jail last summer. Bud
cCoy. being deputy sheriff, attemp-
ted his capture several times. This
fact, with the past, embittered Smith
against Mccoy, and it is alleged that
he hired Pies Mccoy and Bill Dyre to
do the bloody work. Smith is now i'll
Jail, charged with being an accessory
to the crime Pies Mccoy, who is not
over sixteen years of age, confessed at.
ter being arrested that Smith had
promised him Winchester rifle and a
revolver if he would fire the first shot.
The murdered man was cousin of
Pies Mccoy, brother-in law OF Dye,
and is said to have killed eight me:l
during his life.

Thou Shalt Not Steal.

The following is an extact from
Grover Cleveland's speech at the
Thurman banquet:
"This is time when faith in our
countrymen should be fully re estab-
lished. The noise of recent political
revolution is still heard throughout
the land; the people have just demon
strated that there is point beyond
which they cannot be lead by blind
partisanship, and that they are quite
competent to examine and correctly
decide political questions concerning
their rights and their welfare. They
have numerically resented every at
tack upon true American manhood,
and have taught party leaders that,
though slow to anger, they take terri
bic revenges when betrayed. They
permit us to forgive our honored
guest for all the cheap coats he has
ever worn, for they have declared
them To be in fashion. They have also
decreed that the Dec ilcgue has place
in our politics, for they have enforced
the command, Chou shalt net steal"
aud have rendered an emphatic ver-
dict against those who have borne
false witness.

AFTER REEDS SCALP.

Mr.. Reed has had the satisfaction of
turning Democrats out of the House
who had won their seats by honest
majorities ranging from one to ten
thousand. 1t seems now that ne will
be made to take the same medicine he
so literally gave to the Democrats.
The Democrats did not make fight
in Reeds Maine district, because an
expert, sent there by the Democratic
Congressional committee, reported
that it would be useless waste of
time and money to attempt to defeat
him. 1t was found that the trusts,
whose servile tool Reed is acknowl
edged to be, were backing him with
unlimited Doodle, and also the admin
istration was bending every energy to
elect him by working the patronage
and the navy yards for all they were
worth. In the face of such powerful
opposition, the Democrats were de-
spondent and Indifferent.
Now it is said that prominent citi-
zens of his district intend to request
the next House to investigate the
methods by which he secured his re-
election and let the country know just
how ne secured his seat. The use of
large sums of money and the open pur-
chase of votes can be easily proven.
The facts have been obtained and can
be substantiated before any committee
of the House.
1t is not the present intention of tt e
Democrats to contest his seat, but sim
ply to brand him before the country
as corrupt and low politician, the
pet and Protege Of monopoly
Reeds wings have been clipped, ind
it will be rather pleasant than other
wise for the Democrats 20 see "tiis
Fattiness" occupying such an humble
position in the House. Then, too, he
can be made useful by becoming the
butt for the Democratic jokers. If Mr.
Bynum is Speaker. which seems prob
able, he can have him brought up for
censure whenever there is no ether
business before the House. This will
afford infinite relaxation to the mem
bers.

Sherman's Bummers.
From the New YORK World.1

"When Gen. Sherman's army was
pushing the Confederates westward be-
you'd Raleigh, and not long prior to
their surrender at Durham" said Gen.
Sanderson yesterday, "my regiment,
the Tenth Ohio cavalry, arrived at
the village of Company Shops, and
camped for the light on the edge of
the town. With my staff I took pos
session of house as joint tenants with
the family, all ladies, who occupied it..
Shortly after, Maj. Stratton, of my
regiment, came in, bearing specie
box stamped Bank of Commerce of
North Carolina and said that it, with
other boxes containing specie, had
been dug up by the regiment.
Officers were at once sent TO ascer-
tain the extent OF the find. The dis
covery of the money seemed to demon
allze the regiment, and every one was
using his best endeavors to secure
some of the gold and silver. Some of
the men were gone for days before
thew rejoined their companies, and
do not believe hundred men of the
regiment slept that night
"The amount of money was after
wards ascertained to be $15o,000. 1t
was placed where it was found by off
GERS of the Bank Of Commerce, only a
short time before we arrived. It had
been taken from the vaults of the
bank, placed in boxes and conveyed
in box-car towards Goldsboro, but
fearing that it would fall into the
hands of the Union army, they stop
ped the car at Company Shops, and
the treasure was buried in the ground

Mills Opinion.

Mr.. Mills, writing to friend from
Corsicana, Texas, expresses himself
on the causes of the Republican de.
feat as follows:
in reply to your enquiries l would
say that the Mckinley bill has had
much to do in producing the change,
as shown by the election on the 4th
inst. The country has been demand
ing lower duties and larger trade, and
Congress ans wered the demand bv
higher duties and smaller trade The
restriction Of the markets for our agri-
cultural products has been throwing a
growing surplus on the home market
and forcing down prices This has
brought depression in all branches Of
industry. The verdict Of the people
is for a Democratic policy Of free
trade, lower taxes, less interference
with LEGAL governments and larger lib
erty to individual action.
lyon ask me what will be the most
important measures which the second
session of the Fifty first Congress will
consider. The Force bill will occupy
much of the time of the Senate, unless
that body has learned something from
the recent elections. If they pass it
the people will finish the work begun
on the 4th. They are in no humor
for having their Government taken
from them and placed beyond the
reach of the popular will. A Federal
apportionment will be considered, and
possibly passed. The President and
his party do not want a Democratic
House to have anything to say in
forming that measure. The Demo
cratic States have been deprived OF
two or three millions of their popula-
/ ton by the refusal of the enumerators
to take the census Of all the people,
and now it will be attempted by the
present Congress and the Executive to
pass bill which will still further les
sen their representation, in order to
make more secure the hold of the Re
publican party.
/ The Bankrupt bill, appropriation bills
! and other measures will also claim u
large share of the time Of Congress
during the short season.
''ln reply to your question-who il
to day the strongest Democrat before
the American people, would say
that, in my judgement, Grover Cleve.
land is not only the strongest Demo
crat, but the strongest of any party
with the people, and he is still grow.
ing stronger daily, not only by hit
own merits, but by contrast with the
present Executive.
Yours truly, r. O. Mills"

Adams Express and the Lottery.

The board of managers of the
Adams Express company held their
first meeting since the passage of the
United States anti-lottery act on Nov.
IL. The board were unanimously of
the opinion that the provisions of such
law were as morally obligatory upon
the company as they were legally
binding upon the postal authorities.
The attention of the board was called
to the fact that the postoffice depart
ment had issued regulations to all It's
subordinates as to the manner in which
they should effeetuate the provisions
and intent of the act, and the board
adopted a resolution making such reg
ulations applicable to the employees
of the company i'll like manner as if
such employees had been specially
named therein.

What horse stealing is in the coun-
try bicy cle-stealiag has come to be in
Washington. Seldom week passes
that the theft of une or more bycicles
is not reported To the police. and in a
trial here to day the accused was con
victed Of stealing tw" bicycles within
two weeks. 1t is probable that Wash
ington has five times as MANY bycicles
as any city of the world uf the same
population, but the recent census did
not count these nickel and steel ponies,
SD that the exact number cannot be
determined.
The cause of the extraordinary de-
velopment OF 10y cicIe riding here has
been the character of the Washington
streets. For many years Washington
had mere smooth streets than all the
other cities of the world combined, and
though it has lost this remarkable pre-
emineLce, It has still many times
greater area of smooth streets than
any city gifts population in the world.
Tie salpothness OF 80 many carriage
ways made bicycle riding generally
convenient here before it became 80
elsewhere, and it has been for many
years, fAvorlte mode OF locomotion
for men. So long as the high wheels
were in vogue a lady rider was seldom
seen on bicycle. Mrs. Belva A.
L .ckwood set the example here Of the
use of the tricycle. by ladies, and she
rode some of her way toward the pres
iiency when she was candidate on
three Wheels, but the vehicle was far
from graceful, and never found favor
with the ladies.

If the Democratic patty wants to
do the square thing by the men who
do TIE hardest work of the campaign
it ought to give the clerkships ilAthe
legislature to the editors These little
crumbs from the public table ought to
be recognized as theirs by right. We
are led to these remarks by the fact
that Mr.. r. A. Deal, of the Wilkes
borO Chronicle is a candidate for read
ing clerk of the Senate and Mr.. Fl. A..
Latham, editor of the Washington
Gazette, is candidate for reading
clerk Of tie House. Besides having
earned the positions by hard work for
the party, they are both eminently
qualified to make good officers. Mr..
Deal is > God speaker, has a good
voice and is abundatly able to dis
Charge the duties of The offic. to the
eutire satisfaction of the people Be
ing worthy and qualified and coming
WI recommended, his election should
be a certainty. Mr.. Latham perform
ed his duties as reading clerk of the
last House 81 well that he, also, is en-
titled to an election. Faithfulness to
the party and efficiency as an officer,
give hin, claim which the legislators
cannot ignore.
We hope that those legislators with
whom THE SENTINEL has any weight
will do their lest to give these offices
to two such deserving young men as
Messrs. Deal and Latham
