HENDERSON. N. G., THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1892
LIES JOURNEY.

AS we speed out of youths sunny station
The track seems to shine in the light,
Bat it suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the
morning
Are filled With repinings and fears,
As they pause at the City of Sorrow
Or pass through the Valley of Tears.
But the road of this perilous journey
The hand of the Master has made;
With all its diScOmfortS and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into darkness,
Ways plunging from gloom to despair,
Wind out through the tunnels of mid
night,
To fields that are blooming and fair
Though the rocks and the shadows sur
rounded us;
Though we catch not one gleam of the
day,
Above us fair cities are laughing,
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in the west,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great Station of Rest.
'Tis the Grand Central point of all rail-
ways,
All roads unite here when they end;
4lo VIC Hildi ItSOII VI all COuflSCS,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mileboOks, all passes,
If stolen OF begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
VIII bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City of Trouble
Or wait in the Vally of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward,
And rush down the track of the years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your game or your quest,
ou shall come at the last rejoicing
TO the beautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of wor-
rieS,
You shall feel perfect peace in this
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair
waters,
With joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool fragrant gar
denS
With those who have loved you the best,
And the hopes that were lost in life's
journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.

UNION, HARMONY, DEMO
CRACY.

Differences of opinion and judg-
nent in Democratic conventions are
by no means unwholesome indications,
but it is hardly conceivable, in view
of the Importance of our success to the
country and the party, that there
should be anywhere among Demo
Gratis any lack of harmonious and
active effort to win in the campaign
which opens before us. l have there
fore no concern on that subject 1t will
certainly be my constant endeavor to
deserve the support of every Demo
crat.-Grover Clevcland's Card to

Two weeks ago in commenting
upon DR.. Motifs card, we SAID it meant
that the Weaverites would fuse with
the Republican party. We knew it
meant that the Democrats who joined
the Third party were only taking the
step towards Republicanism. Recent
events prove the correctness of oul
surmises. At the Weaverite conven
ton in Raleigh on Saturday the
Republicans took part and two of theil
members were nominated on tht
ticket. The same thing happened il
Edgecombe and the two Republican!
were negroes. DR.. Motifs "sugges
tom is to be carried out, if the white
people of the State will permit it. Blu
they will not.-Wilson Aduanee.

Let us not deceive ourselves; We are
to have Cleveland or Harrison for the
next four years. Should Weaver
carry a single southern state, it would
simply mean the election of Harrison.

Maytield in her testimony, said the
old man had been cross to her for

that be had ordered her from his bed,
that she had had sidewalk made
for him to walk on, bat that he was
too contrary to walk on it. but would
walk through the mud In preference
Mr.. Maytield stated on the witness

As to refusing to walk on the side

muddy. He said she was a nice clean
housekseper. When he left he took
his sewing machine and other pro-

the divorce, stated that it was an
outrage and shame that two old per-

they could not live together. Judge
Ellison granted the old woman a
divorce and allowed her $25 alimony.

The Match.

1t is not generally known that it is
to Isaac Holden, NJ. z that We owe
the invention of the lueifer match.
The discovertr was, Le has tod us
himself, the result of a happy thought.
I'm the morning 1 used to get up at
4 o'clock in order to pursue my
studies, aud L used at that time the
flint and steel, in the use of which l
found very great inconvenience.
OF course, l knew, as other chemists
did, the explosive material that was
necessary III order to produce in
stGntaneous light, but it was very
difficult to obtain light on wood by
that explosive material, and the idea
occurred to me to put sui lphur under
the explosive mixture. I did that
and showed it in my next lecture on
chemistry, q course of which l was
delivering at a large academy.
"There was" said Mr.. Holden, ''a
Young man in the room whese father
WAS chemist in London, and he i'm
mediately 2 wrote to his father about
it, and shortly afterward lucifer
matches were issued to The world -

Sioux, sail ajOr Dan Allen, one of
the original "pa,h-finders" OF the
trackless West. ''Most indians are
born sneaks and cowards, who do
their fighting from cover, but the
Sioux fears neither God, man nor
the devil, and would fight Napo!eon's
Old Guard in an open field. A bluff
won't work on them worth a cant,
and when they tackle you, you can
just make up your mind to do soma
killing or lose your scalp. 1 was out
in the southwestern part of what is
now South Dakota a few years ago
with hunting party when we en-
countered lot of bucks on the war
path. There were twenty of them,
while my party only numbered a
half dozan. But the redskins had
the old-fashioned muzzle leaders,
while We were armed with Winches-

for miles, aud we had just to stand
up to the rack and take our fodder.
Gone of the party was o mining
engineer who had been prospecting
for pay rock and who had with him
several pounds of dynamite and an

one of those quick witted people who
would find way to get out of per-
dition though all Milton's terrors
guarded the exit He concealed tho
explosives in the grass, attached his
wire, and we retreated slowly about
400 yards and stopped. The red
skins didn't waste any time manoeuvr-

they came straight as the crow flies,
and we lay down in the grass with
rifles cooked Itell you it was au
interesting moment for US. If the
battery failed to do it's duty, we were
gone ts man. But it didn't. The
blue belize had dropped his hat
near the Nesuvius, so that he could
tell just when to touch tie button.
AS the foremost horse reached tn g
hat he turned on the current. There
was an explosion that made the very
ground reel. and the air for forty
rods was full of horse flesh and frag-

rifles, blankets aod buck skin. Now S
our time, boys called, and We ran
forward and began pumping the lead

we could pull the trigger. The rem

Pennsylvania Farmers at the
Worlds Fair.

The largest and best section of the
Agricultural Department in the
Words Fair is devoted, as it should
be-, to the exhibition of crop pro-
ducts, and it must be source Of
pride to our farmers that Pennsyl-
vania has been assigned one of the
best four locations in this magnifi-
cent building. 1t is in the center of
the building and one of the four
corners formed by the junction of the
main avenues leading through it
from east to west, north to south.
Germany, Great Britain and Iowa
occupy the other corners, and thus
we are placed in close trelation with
three of the greatest and richest az
ricultural sections of the world.
This fact should be stimulus to:our
farmers to bestir themselves and
make such an exhibit of our crops as
will show the world how really great
we are as an agricultural State when
compared with the best agricultural
sections of the world
In this most favorable location
will be shown-so far as the space of
twenty-one hundred feet will permit
to the finest audience that has ev-
er assembled in the history of man,
whatever of the best of this States
splendid farm crops our. farmers may
offer.
As this is the season for harvest
ing, corn, buckwheat, cloverseed and
the like, it is favorable time for Sc
lecting CHOICE samples of these crops,
and every farmer in the county who
feels that he mas something of these
or of honey, maple syrup or of other
farm products, which he would like
to exhibit should at once send a card
or note to Col Woodward. If your
samples are approved and accepted
you will be at no expense in the mat
ter, as the state has provided funds
with which to pay freight and the
cost of caring for them. None but
the very best and choicest, however,
will be accepted, Write to Colonel
Woodward and notify him what you
wish to exhibit. His address is sim

The rattle of American tin and the

10 years ago can tell you what kind
of money the Wild Cat State banks

and in all these 30 years past no
party has been bold enough to pro-
pose to re-instate the wild cat banks
till last summer the Democratic con-
vention at Chicago, resurrected the
rotten concerns, and propose them
as the proper system to take the
place of the greenback and Nation
