SECRETARY BARNES ON
THE SITUATION.

w. S. Barnes, State Secretary OF
the Farmers Alliance, has published
an address in the ProgyessiUe Farmer,
from which the following extract is
taken. He evidently sees the drift of
affairs and anticipates the injurious ef-
feet politics is destined to have on the
organization if the course now mapped
out by certain men in the order is fol-
lowed. Mr.. Barnes says:
What is to be done? Must We by
one unlucky throw of the dice lose all
we have gained, cause our beloved
Order to be rent in twain and leave
no organized body to dispute the on
ward march of tyranny and oppression ?
Shall we, by our headlong zeal, in
temperate haste, destroy all hopes of
the perpetuity Of a republican form Of
government, and permit monarchy
to be established over our children
God forbid that We should do this
Yet we find that some true, Jealous,
but incautious, brethren. are urging
the Alliance to take a fatal plunge
over a dangerous precipice Of which
they are unaware and where nothing
but destruction awaits it. We find
that in few of our Lodges partisan
| political meetings have been held
which the brethren know is positively
against the Constitution Of the State
Alliance of North Carolina. The AL.
lance can never become partisan, be

Republicans, ProhibI,ionists and th,
Peoples party. Let US see what th'
trouble would be if we let politics int'

a sub Lodge OF sixty male members
thirty-two Of whom are Democrats
ten Republicans. eigh, Prohibitions,
and the remaining ten we're for inde

Democrats that hereafter this Lodg

and that all the members should vot

been done in this State.

information such as the approximate
quantity of such timber in the region
whence it came. Surmounting the
cornice OF the veranda and extending
all around the building are numerous
hagstaffs bearing the colors, coats-of-
arms, ETC., of the nations and States
represented in the exhibits inside.
The Forestry Building contains a
most varied exhibition of forest pro-
ducts in general-the most complete
which could be gathered together. 1t
contains logs and sections of trees,
worked lumber in the shape of shingles,
flooring, casing, etc. There are shown
here dye woods and barks, moses,
gals, abnormal woody products, Itch
ems, vegetable substances used for bed
ding and upholstery gums, resins, veg
etable ivory, cocoanut shells, gourds,
wood pulp, rattan, willowware and
woodenware generally, such as pals,
tubs, brooms. etc. There is also an
exceedingly interesting monographs
display by the different States, in
which their characteristic woods are
most effectively and beautifully shown.
The Forestry Building was designed
by P. B. Atwood, Chief Designer in

THE FUNNY MAN.
Wilmington Messenger I

EDITOR MEssENGER:--Several papers
have recently referred to the ' funny
man "sneeringly. Others have spoken
of the subject, but have been more
wise than just in their criticism. What
has been said all round requires some
further remarks, or the brother in
question may suffer. As one has said,
"my sympathies are always with the
bottom dog" and especially when
that dog happens to be me. But my
sympathy for self and others is about
to be overshadowed just now with
shame for the numerous big fellows
that are hopping on US. If our sense
of the ridiculous should desert us under
these circumstances we would be hash
in short order and such, too, as no
body would want. Bet He who tenn
pers the wind to the shorn lamb re-
members us in His tender mercy and
provides US with fur that upsets the
risibles Of our would-be devourers, and
SO when they would bite they can only
grin like a possum. Then to think
that they would rob US of our only pro
tec,ion is worse than shameful-t is
downright mean. We happen TO be
heretical enough to believe that God
made US, and conceited enough TO
think that we are AS near what we were
when we left his hand as some other
folks, and perhaps little nearer. We
know this is awful and shocking, but
SO is truth to some people. Nature is
full of fun and the sun wears broad
smile, and the man in the moon is
everlastlngly kicking up jack but we
must be mum as an oyster, grnm as a
sick turkey buzzard and a. dull and
lifeless as a crow-bar. It's perfectly
ridiculous the way the masses would
crush everybody not made on the
same last as themselves. The truth
of the besiness is they have emascu-
lated themselves and have a spite
against anybody who hasn't. Like
the fox with his tail cut off, they want
everybody else TO mutila,e themselves
in the same way. We get most of our
fun out of the Bible, and little children
are our models next to Christ, and We
fear unless some people get converted
and become like them they are gone
goslin, SO far as the Kingdom OF
Heaven is concerned. K. +. PEELE.

Poet, crowned with everlasting hays,
Whose genius scatter'd divine sparks and
rays;
King of the beautiful realm called home,
Of which love was the golden dome
His harvest field was only half mown.
The seeds, he should SOW only half sown :
Life was to him most beautiful of dreams
bis gifts perfect shower of sunbeams.
But every flower hath its hidden thorn,
And dark clouds lowered Ger his fair
His lOve-lit home grew dark and dreary.
Hearts, that were bright, grew sad and
Death lowered DER the beautiful scene
And the faireSt flow ret there did gleam,
Yes, stole the je.oeL Of his heart,
His little Ethel, of himself part.
Then came again, ere it seemed time,
And cut him down in his early prime
Cut him down in his harvest field of fame,
But he had won his crown, and made a
name.

His life, grandest monument to his name,
Was pure and SpOtless and free from blame,

Leading ever to God and the right.

The heart that is stilled. the lips that are

The manly form, so dear to dA
Hidden beneath death s icy pail.
Sorrow bends over his early tomb,
Clad in the habiliments of gloom,
But upon her brow there beams a star,
She lifts her finger and points afar,
And every heart echoes aloud
There is the Angel IN the Cloud"
He was too sweet singer for earth
SO God gave unto him heavenly birth,
And called him to the realms above
TO join the angels in Anthems of Love.
And he found his dear, lost jewel there,
His little Ethel-his golden hair"'
His body rests meath his own loved pines
While his soul in heavenly splendor shines;
And all, who hold virtue or genius dear,
Will pause and drop heartfelt tear.
Sleep sweetly, thou gifted, good and brave,
While myriad stars watch DER thy grave.

There is great deal of truth in the
following paragraph from the German
town Pa) Independent; and there is
not newspaper man who has been
at the business three months, who has
not expressed the force and effect of
it:
A newspaper can say nice and pleas
ant things about man for years and
then incur his displeasure or enmity
in one short week by seeming slight.
Yes, it's fact; and you can hurrah
for a candidate, back his friends,
cuss his enemies, and make a
general fool of yourself all the
way through, without thank in the
end. But there's one man that don t
forget you, and that's the man you

AnimaIs' View OF Man.

Savage man, who has generally
been first in contact with animals, is
usually a hunter, and therefore an
object Of dislike to the other hunting
animals, and of dread to the hunted.
But civilized man, with his supply OF
bread and beef, is not necessarily a
hunter, and it is just conceivable
that he might be content to leave the
animals in a newly discovered country
unmolested, and condescend, when
not better employed, to watch their
attitude toward himself. F
The impossible island in "The
Swiss Family Robinson" in which
half the animals of the two hemi-
spheres were collected, would be an
ideal place for such an experiment.
But, unfortunately, uninhabited
islands seldom contain more than a
few species, and those generally
birds or sea beasts; and in newly dis
covered game regions savage man has
generally been before us with his ar
row, spears and pitfalls. Some in
stances of the first contact of animals
with man have been preserved In the
accounts of the early voyages collect
ed by Hakinyt and others, though
the hungry navigators were generally
intent on victualing the ships with
the unsuspecting beasts and birds, OF
on noting those which would be use.
