A Sad Life History.
[ From, the Greensboro Patriot

A sad and touching romance in
real life closed in the death of the
young myor of a neighboring town on
Tuesday. He was young man of
many sterling qualities While a
youth he became addicted to drink,
but few years ago he reformed and
in manly way overcome the habit,
studied law, became an honored and
respected citizen, was elected clerk of
the House of Representatives in 1856,
and Mayor of his town in '89 for a
term of two years. He was engaged
to be married to young lady to
whom he was devoted. Last winter
she discarded him aud became the
wife of the Mayor of Florida city,
whose name has been heralded
throughout the country recently on
account of lawlessness.
The discarded young man, with a
heart laden with heavy weight of
sorrow, yielded to his old enemy and
the result was his lamented and un-
timely death. A life has been wreck
ed that was full of promise of useful
ness and honor. 1t is sad tale, but
one that has often been charged up
against woman.

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ROMANCE.
Which eliminates in Happy Marriage
at st. Mary's.


Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Edgar
Rem5ert, of Sumter, S. c., and Miss
Christine Saunders. of the same place
were happily united ip marriage in the
large parlor at st Mary's school, Rev.
Bennett Smedes performing the cere-
mony. The onl v attendants were Mr.
j. NJ. Heath, friend of the groom.
and Misses Alice Dugger and Flor
ence Slater, of the school.
The marriage was the elimination
of a beautiful little romance. About
four years ago Mr.. Rembert was pros
trated by furious attack of pneumo
MIA. Miss Sanders, then a little girl
just entering her teens, and who was
young friend of the gentleman, gave
him the kindest and tenderest atten-
tion during his severe illness. She
watched him recover fully and COM
rletely. Mr.. Rembert could fine no
words or action to express fully ap-
probation of the kindness shown him,
but he finally summoned courage to
ask the privilege of educating Miss
Saunders. He secured this promise.
and for four years he has had the
pleasure 50 earnestly begged for. Dur
ing this time their warm friendship
ripened into true, rich affection aud
the happy result was the marriage of
yesterday.

Senator Vance on the Silver Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The time
of the Senate was occupied today prin-
cipally with further discussion of the
silver bill which passed the House
last Saturday.
Mr.. Vance addressed the Senate.
Nothing was better established, he
said, than the fact of the necessity of
more money for the progress and pros.
perity of the country. The wealth OF
the world had increased ten fold with
in the last fifty years, and the output
of the precious metals had kept pace
neither with the growth of wealth nor
OF the population. In consequence
of the deficient circulation the prices
of all products were lower than they
ever had been before. In order that
there might be no Misrepresentation as
to his position, and that no one should
ask ON which side of the question he
was, he desired to state that he favored
the unlimited coinage of silver money,
and the restoration of silver as it was
before it was demonetized.

The Pinnacle, which aas so long

enough when viewed from geological
standpoint. The mountain itself is
compo sed of mica schist and originally
the whele of it was capred with lay
er Of quartzite. By the upheaval the
highest point was made between the
Big and Little Pinnacle, and as is of
ten the case in sch instances, crack
occurred at the anticline and by let
ting the water aud the atmosphere

position was much more rapid at that
point than at any other, so that which
was originally the highest point has
bec,me the lowest, and is now the val
ley between the two pinnacles. The
schist which composes the body Of the
mountain is not near so durable as the
Gaping Of quartzite and is wearing
away much more rapidly, thus under
mining the pinnacle and causing it to
fall down in huge boulders with which
the sides of the mountain are covered.
1t is not a matter of speculation to say
that in the course of short geological
age there will be no pinnacle to the
Pilot.
A point of peculiar geological inter
est is that the quartzite is permeated
with veins of mica which are crum-

The Pilot is about 240O feet above
the sea; the pinnacle is about 200 feet
high and about one third of a mile

SOLDIERS HOME.
To the Confederate Veterans Associations
in the Various Counties of N. G.

COMRADES: We desire to call your
attention to the provisions Of our con
stitution directing that the ANIMAL
elections for officers shall take place
on the 4ch day of july in each year.
We earnestly hope that there will be
large attendance of veterans at the
court housefunless some other place If
assembling shall be designated)in each
county at 2 o'clock on that day, and
the regular organization continued
and strengthened. If the meeting
shall have been arranged for another
day, or shall not be held on the 4th
of July, it is not material, provided
the veterans shall surely be called to-
gether at some time.
The executive committee have de-
termined to wait 40 longer for ade
quate subscriptions, but boldly to as
sumo the responsibility of opening a
Soldiers Home for tbs care Of such of
our needy, deserving comrades as re
quire to be supported by charity. At
present it is probable that the hotel
building at Ridgeway, donated by
Col. Heck, will be too large for our
immediate purposes, and we may be-
gin in smaller way at Raleigh, or
some accessible locslity.
For the support of this home. we
throw ourselves upon the abounding
charity of the people of North Caro-
lima, and We appeal particularly to the
members Of the Confederate Veterans
Association to see that proper inter
est is enkindled in every town and
township in the Stase.
We especially invoke the aid of the
women Of North Carolina, foremost in
every work of lore ond kindness, and
we ask that the Veterans Association
of each and every county constitute a
central committee of ladies of not less
than than FIVE in every county town
in the State. The names of the mem
bers of this committee, particularly
the chairman, should be forwarded at
once to w. G. Stronach. Secretary,

it was well told, and created much
amusement. Secretaries Tracy and
Proctor were among the listeners.
They preserved becoming gravity as
long as possible, and then gave way,
like Mississippi levees before food.
Many stories are told about Proctor
Knott's career in the house. He was
undoubtedly one of the brightest men
who ever came to congress from Ken
lucky. His Duluth speech reads al
most like inspiration. He is as ready
with his pencil as with his tongue. He
is born artist as well as born ora
tor. The light and shade in his draw
ings equal the light and shade in his
speeches. In long and weariso.ns de-
bates he amused himself by stretching
his arms over his desk and sketching
scenes in the house. He could take a
pen and ink photograph in three min
utes that would be recognized by ev.
cry member on the floor.
In the Forty fourth congress he had
the we'll known Jim Mckenzie as
colleague. Jim is full as bright as
Proctor Knott, but lacks Knott's ar
.tistic gift with the pencil. One day
in dull debate Knott sketched lit

pond was filled with ducks. He drew

ure. The pages were always eager to
secure Mr. Knott's drawings
"Oh, please, Mr.. Knott" said this
lad, "may have that sketch?'
"Yes, my boy" the Kentucky con-
gresham replied, you're welcome to
it."
The boy thanked Mr.. Knott and
rushed down the aisle with the sketch
in his hand AS he neared its mouth
Jim Mckenzie caught his arm and
said:
"Here. what's that? Let's see what
you've got"
The boy passed him the sketch. He
gazed at it and smiled. Then he

Secretary Window estimates the re
ceipts for the year at 1886, ,OOO, 900,
with expenditures at s25 100000 more
than the income, there is a deficit in
stead of surplus under Republican
rule. The New York Herald, COM
menting on this situation, says:
Mr.. McKinley's proud boast in his
report was that his bill would cut off
seventy one millions OF revenue, or be-
tween fifty and sixty millions, as he
has more recently said, and with that
understanding the House passed his
bill Call it fifty millions, and that
would leave for next year only three
hundred and thirty five millions of in
come, against four hundred and ten
millions appropriated, or the net for
ty-three anu half millions of surplus
revenue of last year swept away, and
fifty millions of deficit.
1t would be an embarrassing situa-
tion to any one except such magpifi-
cent tinanciers as the Republicans.
But they are not scared. The Dem
ocrats would economic and retrench.
Our Republican friends, on the con.
Irary. proceed to clean out the treasury.
Some time ago they announced that
they would stop the payments to the
sinking fund. That would give them
forty nine millions by repudiating
what they nave always stoutly asserted
was sacred obligation. Later they
saw that even this was not enough,
and now they proposed to put in the
general treasury fund further sum
of sixty millisns. which is deposit by
the retiring national banks for the re-
demption of their outstanding notes,
and as a matter of fact the only secu.
rity the bill holders have for those
notes, because the bonds have been
returned to the banks.
Higher taxes, most extravagant and
vasteful expenditures, a Dig surplus
swept away, and hazardous expedients
to get money enough to spend-that is
the net result of Republican rule.
