Mrtha Of Ancient Mariners.

Sailors yarns have always been cele-
brated for their imaginative character
Those of today, however. have no ODpCT-
tunity for favorable comparison with tao
stories told by mariners Of "HtiI ! =.

Their tales presumably dill ,nTcL -
augment the fears Of the Sc, which ..-s.>o
commonly entertained III those day,
giving birth to many Of the myths Cf
ocean. They told about the strange land
inhabitated by lotos eaters, who fed upon
the fruit of forgetfulness and lost all
memory of country and friends. Hey
ond was the terrible land of the one eyed
giants, called Cyclops, they said, while
elsewhere were to be found the strange
islands where the enchantresses Circe
and Calypso lived. These islands were
in the narrow western Mediterranean,
and beyond was the Cimmerian land,
where the people lived in darkness al
ways, inhabiting gloomy caves.
There were the Sirens also, whose song
was death. They were condemned to
die when man should pass them with
out stopping. Ulysses accomplished this
by putting wax in his ears. So they
were changed into rocks of Sorrento,
where they still exist terror to mari
ners. The Sirens typify the surf, whose
harmonious murmurs are often the death
music of the sailor. In like manner the
Cyclops represent the Storm Fiend, as
their names show. Brontes is the roll,
Steropes the flash and Argis the white
ness Of lightning.
Likewise the snaky Gordons are
thought to be figurative representations
of the white capped and angry waves,
Not less to be feared were the dreadful
Symplegades- huge moving rocks which
were tabled to crush ships passing be-
tween them. 1t has been surmised that
the tradition respecting these rocks was
derived from the floating icebergs, which
during the glacial period must have
issued from the Black sea; but this seems
hardly Washington Star.

The streets of Winston suffered badly
from Saturday nights rain storm. 1t was
a cloud burst, and it is generally conceded
to have been the heaviest rain that has
fallen there for several years. A side
walk on one of their principal streets was
washed away and a hole was left deep
enough to bury an ordinary sized house.
The cost of repairing the washout is es-
timated at at least $4,000. The contrac-
tor estimates the damage to the new fac
tory for the American Tobrcco company
at $500. The machine shop of the Salem
Iron Works was flooded and the pro-
prietOrs say that they are damaged at
least $1,000. Vance & Shaffners iron
foundry was also flooded with water to
the depth Of about two. All their moulds
were covered and other machinery badly
damaged

\ Chinese Girls Fall.

On Nov. %, 1880, a schoolgirl named
Ng y 500 fell from the roof of a four
stored house, distance of sixty or sew
enty feet. Her skull was fractured in
several places and the right parietal en-
inence was deeply impressed. Enough
to kill anybody, one would say, or at the
best, to induce lifelong idiocy! Not a
bit of it. In exactly six weeks Ng A 500

clinical report, ''in no way the worse for

From the Greensboro Record we learn
that Mrs. Bette Cannaday, Summerield,
committed suicide Sunday morning by
cutting her throat with razor. She COM
mitted the deed about 8 o'clock in the
morning, but lived until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. She had been an invalid for
some time, suffering from a spinal affec-
ton, which reached the brain, unbalanc-
ing her mind. We learn she had fire.
quently threatened to take her life, and
was closely watched but as usual in such
cases, at the very time they were not ex-
pecting such a thing she committed the
act We have been unable to get any
further particulars.

At Wilmington o., Gilbert Palmer, 21
years old, procured a horse and buggy at
a livery stable Saturday evening, as he
said, to go to Port William, about four
miles north. He was last seen at the
above named place in company with
Mary Conklin, aged 1G. Miss Conklin' s
mother strenuously objected to her asso
ciating with Palmer. This morning
Palmer and Miss Conklin were discov-
cred on the roadside, both dead. They
had taken the robe out of the buggy and
spread it on the ground and placed the
buggy cushion on it for pillow. Near
them were found two glasses and two
papers that had contained strychnine.
A note was found written on one of the
labels reading: Bury us as close to
gether as possible. Good bye
