After all, there is but little difference
The man who ~f1atters himself that he is
of any importance in the wOrld-Well, he
must be a coGceited fellow. A man may
fill a niche-he may do some wonderful
thing-he may make life brighter and all
men happier-yet there is a place for him
beneath the sod-and the truth is that the
world cannot miss him long.
The pebble thrown into the ocean, we
have been told, makes as much of a ripple
on the water as a man makes in the sea
of humanity, and it must be so.
During the interval between sneezes at
the Yam Farm we nave rea3 that count
less millions have died-and that if one
%hundredlh part of the mass Of humanity
which has persisted was to day breathing
it could not move. Sardines in a box
would have ample to run ten mile
races, if what we read be true
Then what's the use?
Why not pull down the blinds of jral-
ousy open up the doors Of frankness and
cordiality-meet men in the way you
should meet them-and swear to yourself
that there is no greatness in human lives
and that GoD alone is great?
Look upon GoD as the only grand thing
remember that you may be fortunate
and may be happy-but remember that
your demise would make but a slight rip
pie on the great surface-and that one
day you must die.

Worlds Fair Fund.
[OXfOrd Day

Such an exhibit as the state agricul
tural Department will make at the Co
lumbar fair in Chicago ought not and
will not satisfy the people of North Car
DINA.
We want a building of our own on the
grounds-one constructed entirely of ma
tive woods-something handsome in style
and finish-a place where visitors from
the Old North State can meet and regis
lister and take their friends-a structure
that strans ers will notice and admire and
talk about.
At least $25, 900 is needed.
The legislature made "a fleeing show"
of enterprise and progressiveness "for
mans delusion given"
Committees have met, discussed,
planned and accomplished nothing.
The last resort is for the newspapers
of the state to pitch in, and appeal to
generous, patriotic citizens for contribu-
tons to a Worlds fair fund.
THE DURHAM GLOBE takes the lead,
Col. AL Fairbrother subscribes $3.50,
which is promptly supplemented by
81 900 from the Blackwell Tobacco com
pany.
Oxford ought to give it something
Ought TO help in this good work.
Send the money to Col. Fl. G. Cooper,
cashier If the banking house of J. G
Cooper & Sons, who will take care of it.

1T IS A TERRIBLE THING.

Only recently DIR. CALDWELL admOn-
ished gentlemen who were running for
governor to remain at home and not
make a personal canvass. His remarks
have called forth comment from many of
the best state papers, and all agree that
the doctor is right.
But The Chronicle man might just as
well have admonished people with the
grip to not sneeze.
The politics and the way of politicians
like COLONEL SOLOMON remarked of
the flight Of the eagle-is past finding
out. Just when BROTHER JONES imag-
ined that BROTHER SMITH was not
making a canvaes-when he imagined
that all he had to do was &c remain at
home and let the dear people walk up
and cast their precious ballot for him
BROTHER SMITH might be getting in his
work at a church fair here-or button.
holing the "leader' Of a certain "dee-

1t won't do, JOE. In these degenerate
times when the almighty dollar looks as
large as the full moo when corruption
and bribery and treachery stalk abroad
at MONDAY; when an itching palm is
extended and appeased when men sell
themselves like cattle-and we are told
that all in politics is fair-the fellow who
remains at home during the campaign
will continue to remain there.
TIE GLOBE Believes in the good old
fashioned way. Let the candidates sho y
themselves; let them buy their vile cigars
and let them shed tears to the farmer and
kiss the latest baby and do all such
things.
That's the broad and liberal and com
prehensive platform upon which we
propose to sink, swim, live, die, survive
or perish or do anything else VIC care

If IT were not for the silly jealousy of
some OF the newspapers of the state,
North Carolina could go to Chicago well
represented. Will the bows fall in and
have the exhibit a monument to the news
papers of the state?
THE Ashevillc Citizen says a column
in this paragraph: 1T is estimated that
10000, 600 people will visit the Worlds
fair at Chicago. What those forty mil
lion won't see from North Carolina will
aStOnish some of them.
The Oxford Day, always entcrprising,
falls into line and knows what to do con-
corning the Worlds fair fund. 1t pro
poses to help things out by raising a
popular subscription and turning it all
over to one general fund.
TIE fund for the Worlds fair shows
that $3.50 have been paid in. Let all
people rally, and let us nave an exhibit
which will make North Carolina folks
feel good when they go to Chicago in
'93, which is only a little over a year
away.
THE fact hat the state board of agri-
culture has arranged TO make an exhibit
of North Carolina products al the Worlds
fair, will not interfere with the S25, 900
fund which The GLOBE proposes to raise.
The more we get the better for the state.

Prisoner Gets the Best Of a Judge.

Judge Pershing, of Pottsville,
who was in the city a few days ago,
tells story of an old Irishman who
appeared before him, charged with
some triAing offense. The new
courthouse in PottsvilIe had only
been occupied short time. When
the prisoner appeared he was sub
iected to the usual questions:
"Have you ever been here be-
fore?" asked the Judge.
The Irishman considered mo-
ment and replied; mo, your hon
OF"
Subsequent investigation, how
ever, showed that the prisoner had
previously been before the court on
three separate occasions.
How is this?" queried the Judge.
"The records prove that you have
been here three times before"
"Begorrah, your honor, that
mustn't be a mistake" replied the
lrishman. Them other tonnes

Rrotherly Kindness.

A London paper says that a young
man had a younger sister by the
name of Jessie, who was sent to a
fashionable boarding school. When
she went away he remarked that he
hoped she wouldn't acquire any of
the affectations so often learned in
such places. For almost year he
had no fault to find upon this score.
Then came a letter signed ''Jessica,"
instead of Jessie. He replied as fol-
lows:
Dear Sister Jessica, Your well
come letter received. Mammica and
papaica are well. Aunt Maryca
and Uncle Georgia. started for
Glasgowica yesterday, [ have

to see it. 1t is beauty. Its name

Congressman John M. Allen of Mis-

vote with his party every time, and,
besides, picked up vague smatter-

jury of the Circuit Court. The docket
was crowded and the court held until
a late hour. 1t was his first service
on a jury. One afternoon late, just
as lamps were being lit, he was call
ed on to sit in new case. The ex-
legislator was tired and hungry and
did not relish the prospect Of being
kept from his supper. SO after the
required Twelve had been accepted
and counsel for the plaintiff was
about to state his case the negro

claiming in loud voice:

BABY MARGARET.


Baby Margaret here she comes,
Holding wide her rosy thumbs,
Fresh from out her smiling lips;
And her tiny finger tips
Softly curling In the air
on the way TO find my hair.
"Sweetf" why. she is sweeter far
Than whole hives Of honey are;
Pretty As the blossoms be
On June set apple tree.
Dimples try TO steal bite
From her cheeks so pink ana white;
And who ever saw the skies
Bluer than our baby's eyes,
And hardly dare disclose
How we're led by her small nose.
HAS she hairf" Yes, quite enough
For a mouse's winter mum.
And her feet Why, all her shoes
Dare not hide them, but refuse,
And 40 sltullting under chairs,
Or a. sliding down the stairs.
Then our baby is so wise;
See the wisdom in her eyes
BY this sign she makes II known;
Shuts her mouth and slowly winks
AS she sits and thinks and thinks,
Like n serious old sage,
Full OF knowledge as OF age.
There are babies fnirer far"
Did you sayf Perhaps there are;
But we never saw one yet
We'd accept for Margaret.
