Cleveland and Benedict.

Before returning to New York, Grover
Cleveland is going to visit the broker, E.
C Benedict, at his summer home in
Greenwich, Conn. Mr.. Benedict will
bring the ex president from Cape Cod on
his steam yacht, and will also have as a
guest on the vessel Mrs. Cleveland, whom
it is desirable to bring to New York at
this time in as comfortable and private IA
way as possible. The friendship which
the ex-president has formed with Mr..
Benedict is a peculiar one. No man
whom Cleveland has met since he became
prominent seems SO completely to have
charmed him, and yet it seems as though
they could possess but little in common,
as their training and experience have
been very diverse. Moreover, Mr.. Bene-
dict has leanings toward free silver, and
he does not hesitate to express any opin-
ions he has in the presence of Mr.. Cleye-
land.

THAT WAS ALL.

A tramp negro dropped dead in a bar
Der shop in this city Saturday night
Dropped dead with no warning that his
life was so near a close-dropped dead
| without a friend to close his eyes-with-
III a friend to shed a tear.
That seems tough.
~ But was it tough? Why should there,
anyway, be all this sombre sadness about
a dead man or dead woman? Why should
people cry their souls away because some
poor mortal has passed into everlasting
rest, into everlasting glory?
eism much in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
is much in the helps and suggestions and
smiles of friends, but why should we be
selfish and regret the fact that they got
rest before we did?
No matter about that life or that OBJ
livion which is beyond the tomb. No
matter about what may come, if your
friend has lived a life that was the best
he cOuld-that friend when he dies gets
rest.
This old man believes in hanging on
with bulldog tenacitY; in contrasting
every inch Of ground and refusing to
yield a right unless force compels; but he
also believes that the tramp who passed
out into the night-night starless and
doubtless colds happier to-day beyond
the border of strife and contention and
want and poverty than he was On earth.
We believe that death, if you have been
decent must mean either oblivion or eter
nal happiness. Then let us tear away
crepe and do away with the solemnity Of
black things when the friend dies.
We all have much to learn yet the
wisest knows nothing about the future
which awaits US all. But all this deep
remorse is, to US, out Of place, because
we believe in our friends, always, and
we know they have done the best they
could. Then all must be happy for them
and if SO, they are happier than We.
And the tramp negro whose soul waded
the Jordan Saturday night is beyond the
cares Of a world which is selfish, and
greedy and jealous and grasping.

THE CROP

The report of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by
the North Carolina experiment station
and state weather service, for the week
ending Friday, September IS, 1891,
show that the weather during the past
week has been most favorable. Light
rains occurred on Saturday and Sunday,
followed by clear, warm weather,
which has been beneficial to all crops
and for all kinds of farm work. Cotton
is opening more rapidly, though picking
has not become general. Farmers have
been very busy during the week saving
fodder, curing hay, seeding oats, and pre-
pairing soil for wheat. Tobacco curing
progressing rapidly. Another week of
such favorable weather is worth thou
sands of dollars to the farmers in the state.
The prospects are for continued fine
weather next week.
