cord of facts. The truth is, Sam likes u sensation better than he does his char acter for veracity, and by the exercise of q little effrontcry, impotence, and q great deal of ignorance, he had sensa- tion in North Carolina, and after en- toying it awhile, he begged pardon, and thus set things right; and st the same time shaped matters so as to cause and enjoy another sensation when he goes to Philadelphia by telling some people" there, they are liars. We want to see every tarheel who stamps his native soil, and all those scattered, fatson and jetson, over the universe, rise up and advise him to learn tic history of his native South.

Is noorm LIVING on DEAD,

Since our earliest recollection, about every three years great story is pub lished about John Wilkes Booth. By multifarious means conildantc, or somebody else, lets it out that he is still living and doing well. It is hard to tell who starts these animated stories, detracting from Booths gloried drn, but we have expected for some time that some shrcwd publisher, more shrewd than honest, would suddenly spring book on the public; and. send ing out . prospectus with the accom- papying explanation that -. Wilkes Booth has just died natural death in the jungles of Africa, completing few weeks previous to his sud departure, Il history of his exciting life, which we have secured for publication from his executors. It tells for the first time the true story of the assassination of Abe Lincoln" We suppose these peril odical narratives are sent out to give credence to the book when 1t arrives.
 The latest Booth sensation reaches our sanctum from Birmingham, Ala, via. Chicago and Little Rock. and is in the elegant form of an epistle from a female confidante of Booth, who car. ries the euphonions cognomen of Louse Worcester, according to the Arkansas Democrat. Just think of the redicu- larity of the thing, that a narrative of such vast magnitude and universal i'm portancc should originate from par asitic confdante of the confederate SOL dier, and great actor who carried his acting into tragedy of real life-and that Il Lonse, too, is too ridiculous for any thing. And not satisfied to be a simple louse, but must be Worcester Iouse-Ah! a thought just struck us; (which is a rare thing) it was typo graphical error; the words, Louse Worcester. was the intelligent compost tors mistake. The whole stsry grew out of battle of Worcester Souse, chaporoned by stewed oysters, and spiked with Alabama Bourbon whisky This is a great slam on the world re- nowned sauce company at Worcester, Mass, but Miss Louse has the thanks and the appreciation of the public for her display of originality and genius in telling an old story new way.
 But what will poor Boston Corbett do9 He has been trying to kill him. self for twenty years, because he has thought he was the murderer of J. Wilkes Booth, and now he learns that Booth is not dead at all. It is too bad that man should be reckless and mis- erable for twenty years for the com mission of an event that never was committed.

 In the grand and glorious old state of North Carolina, the other day, Rev. Sam Jones published his egregious ignorance to the world by dsnouncing, in sermon, in Charlotte, that the ccle- bration on the 3oth of May, of the Mecklenburg Declaration of lndepen- dence was founded on a myth. He boldly made the declaration in the afternoon, and vt night made . little reparation by hnmbly apologizing, and transferring the blame to ''somc philz- delphia people" whom he said had im- posed upon him in the matter, and he intended to denounce them us liars the next time he visited that city of fratcr- nal feeling. Sam had better stick to his Bible, and let history alone. in making public utterances, till he has time to neglect tho Lord and post him. s~k on the ordinary secular events of his own country. The idea is too ridiculous 'ssome Philadelphia peo- ple" imposed on him, by telling hm there was no declaration of injspen- d-nce ever made in Mecklenbcrg. He allowed "some people" to impose upon him in the face of the fact that North Carolina had made the goth of May n legal holiday, becauss on that day was announced, many years ago, the first declaration of tho kind ever made in America. The fact of it's being made a legal holiday by statutory enactment would have satisfied anyone of ordinary judgment, that it was an event well established by indisputable evidence and that there was no myth about it, even if the ipse dixit of some people, did say to the contrary. He was cresl,l- lous enough tO arcredit the verbal statements, of some people in phila- drlplia" in one instance. and so ii.- credulous as not to accredit the verbal statements. public celebrations, and enacted laws of sll the people of North Carolina in another instance. Had he been sober thinking man he would have known the people of the state would have been long since ridicuiesl out of celebrating an event founded on mythical patriotism, UT mere claimed patriotic acts unsupported by any re-

THAT man loves his party best who will make the most sacrifices for it. He is the best party man who will sac riiice his own ambition and his own chances of preferment for the good of his party, which he believes to be the good of the public. No man who be lieves that his own aspirations for of- fee will prove hurtful to his party should permit those aspirations to con trol his actions.
