MARDI GRAS' QUEEN.
Miss Bessie Behan'S Distin-
guished HOnOr-JameS y.
Richardson to be
King.

New Orleans, Feb. S.-The biggest
cotton planter in the world is to be
king of the Mardigras carnival here.
His name is James s. Richardson and
he is one of the most popular men in
in the south. 1t is he who is to mar
ry Winnie Davis, It's said. His plan
tations in Mississippi cover seventy
square miles and produce 10000 bales
of cotton annually. Mr.. Richardson
is q bachelor of. massive form and
handsome face, a social leader, possess
immense stables, the finest four-horse
coach in the world. and having a pa
latisl home in this city, where every
prominent person nearly who has visi.
ted New Orleans has been entertained.
Miss Bessie Behsn, who is to be
queen of the carnival, made her debut
here early in January and went to the
fore as the belle of the season. Her
father, Gen. j. w. Behan, is proba-
bly, the largest wholesale grocer in the
south and an extensive sugar planter.
He is also a distinguished officer of
The late war and will undoubtedly re-
ceive the democratic nomination for
governor at the coming convention.
Queen Bessie is of medium stature, a
blonde, with blue-gray eyes. 1t is
generally conceded that she has car
ried of the honors of the social season
with singular success for one so young
and her future social career is predict
ed as brilliant.
The Mardi Gras takes place on the
10Th of this month, and, owing to the
presence of the white squadron and
the lavish end unprecedented local
preparations, it will be the most elab-
crate in the history of carnivals.
On the night of the kings recep-
ton Miss Behsn will wear a gown OF
the richest white Duchess satin. EN-.
broidered in gold, and corsage finish
ed with a becoming Medici collar,
made of gold lace. The court train
or mantle will be of turquoise blue
velvet, with butterflies freely en-
broldered in gold and bordered with
ermine.
The queens maids of honor will be
Misses Annabel Hood, Corinne
Souchon, Alice Dunbar, Nina Bis
land, Penelope Chafe, Kathryne III.
Bickham of Virginia Mary G Boyd
of North Carolina, and one young
lady yet to be selected.
The maids of honor will be dressed
alike in heavy gros grain white silk en-
traine, with lace garniture held in
place by silver butterflies. The corssge
from shoulder to waist will be crossed
by a rich and heavy satin scarf Of
purple, green and gold, the royal
colors.

Shade of the silver Dight,
Whittier your heecy fight
Down from the depths of light,
Down from the fells afar I?
Com'st thou with peace or pain,
Loves song or sad refrain
Uer mount or vale or main,
Ghost of a withered star
B-ing'st thou a message sweet
Down from yon starry street,
Where myriad phantom feet
Press through the sisles Of night
Or will your wings of old,
Tipped with the moons pale gold,
Things OF sorrow deep unfold
Now in your misty flight?
Soft o thou silver shade,
Down through nights colorado
Where Luna's hosts parade
Far in the fields of fire
Touch with your pinions now,
Sweeily pains psllid brow,
Sleep, rest and peace allow,
Shade of the SOULS dssire!

THE SHADE OF SILVER NIGHT.

Oh night inwrought with CLEANS
From Luns's silver beams,
Thy loving peace
To hearts with sorrow rent
After the day is spent
Is sweet release.
Soft do thy shadows blend
Where roses mol and bend,
And 'mid the gloom
The lilies half awake
Their waxen censOrs break
Of faint perfume.
And in thy cradle, sleep,
i sigh no more, nor weep
Because Of wrong
Shade of the silver night
My soul receives thy Light
| hear thy song
And join the host above
Who know no pulse but love-
No more to roam
And ended life's last blight
The shade of silver night
Will guide me home.

-Albani, tie prima donna, has a
cousin in the grocery business in
Lewiston, Me. Of course he is too
proud to put sand in his sugar under

Edward Fawceit is much opposed
to the use of dialect in literature, and
says that if he had occasion to put a
rude Maine fisherman in a novel he
would make him converse in classical

-Ex-Gov. Foraker, like Corporal
Tanner, has made money by being

1t is reported that Gov. Pattison,

Mr.. Window, like Gen. Grant

he was accustomed to take a carriage.
The story that the governor of
Montana eats pie with knife is holly

each thumb and index finger along
the periphery to guard against breaks
and supporting the under crust with
the remaining fingers. The pie is

1t is peculiar fact," remarked
Jake Baker, of Recorder Pilkington's
Office, to BAzoo representative yes
terdsy, ''that it is very rare thing for
a couple to take out their marriage IL
cense on Friday. In looking back
over my career in the recorders office
l can recall but one instance or so where
we have issued license on this day of
traditional i'll luck-or hangman's
day, as some people are pleased to
call it. l do not know whether SUI.
perstition has anything to do with our
lack of patronage in the matter of
marriage licenses on Friday, but the
feet remains, nevertheless, and you
may draw your own conclusions"
In Boonville, Mo-, there lives q
most estimable christian lady who is
afflicted with heart disease. She has
been thus troubled for many years,
but not until the last few months
have the attacks of this malady be-
come dangerously frequent and alarm
ing. 1t is so now that at any moment
ANY instant in the day or in the
watches of the night the supreme
summons may come. In view of all
this the good old lady, fearless of the
future and with an abiding christian
faith, is making preparations for the
final call. She is having her death
shroud made right in her own room,
and takes no care to conceal it from
her friends. This is not the result of
any special eccentricity on her part,
for she is not a woman of that kind,
but simply a desire to have every
thing, material and spiritual, in
readiness.
Blood is thicker than water is a
quaint and unguestioned saying, and
it was never more practically illus
trated than in the case of the recent
trial of Tom Williamson. Notwlth-
standing the withered old wretch's
career of crime-his heart scared with
darkest deeds of blood, the stains of
more than one murder resting upon
him aud Notwithstanding the ire
trievable disgrace brought by him
upon all his kindred, there was yet a
brother who joUrneyed from another
state to attend his trial, to lend what
coincidence he could ana even to
mount the witness stand and use his
utmost homes: eDdeavor to save the
defendant. The doctrine of mans
total depravity seems to have bat
feeble foundation when a brother ~
devotion such as this is exhibited to
the world.
Said Col. A. A. Walker, of Pleas

representative at Sicher's, Friday
evening last: 81 have just come up
from the state capital-my first visit
there the present session. The senate
and house both present good appear
ance and there are some able men in
both branches of the general assembly.
In this body, however, there are a few
leaders who direct and virtually con-
troll affairs and who are followed,
more or less, by the members in gen.
eral. Speaking about the lower
house, don't you think it would be to
the interests of the entire state if the

wish to be understood as defending any
unlawful or dangerous combination, for
unfortunately they are 0 numerous in
this our land of boosted liberty but it is
well to look into all those things which
are likely to have any part, however
small, in the reduced prices for this
grade of tobacco, and if the eastern
counties, by reason Of their soil and sea-

this grade, then the producer here in the

in this manner: Our esteemed BROTHER

We DO not pretend to know as much

The Manufacturers Record, o. Balti-

industrial progress Of the South, says:
1.-THE signs Of a general Improvement in
industrial developments and in large in
vestment operations throughout the
South noted in the last issue of the Manu-
facturers' Record are even more notice
able this week, notwithstanding the near
approach Of the holiday season, when
business men generally wait for the
new year before going into new en-
terprises. There is a decided revival in
the projection Of new mining, manufac-
turing and railroad enterprises, and, de-
spite the very low price Of cotton, the
general outlook in the South is daily
growing better, though collections in
mercantile lines may for a while continue
slow. y general survey of the field
shows hat good progress is being made
towards securing the full $500, 600 re-

The DURHAM GLOBE is still 'pegging
away" in it's effort to raise $25, 900 for
the help of North Carolina in the very
important matter Of securing the best
possible exhibit at Chicago in 1898 for.
It is marvellous that the people are not
more iA earnest and resolved in taking
all possible advantage of this grand op-
pOrtunity. THE GLOBE deserves to be
sustained in its needed effort to help the
state out Of a very serious embarrass-
ment and the generous and patriotic
would do we'll to respond to the appeal
and help roll on the ball. The Messen-
ger wishes THE GLOBE all success in this
unselfish effort. 1t has proved its sim
cerity by its works. 1t gives $3.50 to
start the good work. The Messenger
called attention some time ago to this
newspaper enterprise and heartily Sec
onded THE GLOBE in it's excellent rally
to helpless North Carolina.
