Much of our outside space IS taken
I'D this week with the Farley-lrby'
Tiilnian quarrel. No doubt many oi
our readers have seen it but some nave
not and then we want to keep record
It.
Il should be matter Of regret
10 all law-abiding and peace loving
citizens, to see prominent officials en-
gssing in such wrangles. The Herald
and News does DOT propose to pass
Judgment on the merits Of the contro-
versy, but We do say that the whole
thing is an ugly piece of business ana
no true Caro!inian can feel proud OF
any man who has been placed in posi-
tions of honor and trust who will en-
gage in such mud Singing. If Mr..
Tillmsn's letter be true it would seem
that there has been some ugly WORK
going on in Washington among some
of our citizens who were sent there to
attend to business for our people.
There may be more developments
and maybe by and by our people Will
get at the truth. Maybe after awhile
they will fad out what sort of leaders
they have been following.
The whole hing is to be very much
deplore6.

Stability Of the South.
T From the Boston Herald. !


The South appears to be standing
the financial strain much better than
the West. aud Southern capitalists are
much gratified at the record of that
section. They hold that the distrust
of the West aroused among investors
will result greatly to the advantage of
the South, whose stability shows so
we'll by contrast. a New York news
paper recently contained the startling
headline, Twelve More Institutions
60 Down in the West and South AS
eleven of these institutions proved to
be in the West and only one in the
South the Manufacturers Record of
Baltimore found the statement sug-
gestlve of buying two cigars for quar-
ter-O cents for one and for the
other.

Congress Is caiieS together IN extra
session. It will convene pext Tuesday.
It is to be hoped that 1t will devote
itself to business and do what is best
for the country. The members should
not be too much concerned about lay
ing foundations for reflections, but
should apply themselves to the mat
tiers of legislation in bard.
The financial question is the one I'M

we will not pretend to say, out If any
relief can come from Congress We

sooner or later; for, although q

AFLIGHT OFSWILLOTs.

Up to the end of the last century
some curious ideas prevailed as to the
way swallows pass the winter, some
naturalists supposing them to sleep
in holes or hollow trees during the
winter, while others maintained that
they lived in the mud ut the bottom
of ponds and streams. Frisch, Il Ger
man naturalist, experimental by fas-
tening threads colored with water col
ors TO several birds, and on their
temperance in the spring these
threads were found the same, disprov-
ing the water theory. The European
species leave for Africa about the end
of October, returning about the 10th
of April. They fly single or in groups
of three or four, and arrive on the
further side of the Mediterranean in
d state of exhaustion.
The Australian chimney swallow is
similar to the European species, mi
grating in spring to the southern parts
of Australia and Van Dieman's Land,
where it breeds, returning on theap-
proach of winter to the warmer
climate of the north. The barn swal-
low of the United States is too well
known to need a description. 1t
spends the winter in the West India
islands and South America, going as
far south as the equator, leaving the
United States about the middle of
September and returning in March.

THY PE1CE.

BY FRANCES II. HAvERGAL-
Is this tho Peace of God, this strange, swee
calm?
The weary day is at its zenith still,
Yet tits as il beside some cool, clear rill,
Through shadowy stiffness rose an evening
psalm,
And all the noise of life were hushed away,
And tranquil gladness reigned with gentle
soothing sway.
With aching head, and heart most sorely bowed
Around me cares and griefs in crushing crowd
" hile inly rose the sense, in swelling tide,
Or weakness, insufliciency, and sin,
And fear, and gloom, and doubt, in mighty
flood rolled in.
That rushing flood had no strength to meet,
Nor power to flee; my present, future, past,
Myseif, my sorrow, and my sin cast
In utter helplessness ut Jesus feet;
Then bent me to the storm, il such His will
He saw the winds and waves and whispered
Peace, be STILL"
And there was calm OSaviour, have proved
That thou to help and save art really near;
How else this quiet rest from grief and fear,
And all distress? The cross is not removed,
must go forth to bear it as before,
But, leaning on Thine arm, dread Its weight
no more.
1t is indeed Thy Peace! have not tried
To analyze my faith, disSect my trust,
Or measure il belief be full and just,
And therefore claim Thy Peace. But thou hast
died,
1 know that this is true, and true for me,
And knowing it, l come and cast my all on Thee
1t is not that feel less weak but Thou
Wilt be my strength; it is not that [ see
Less sin, but more of pardoning love with Thee,
And all-sufficient grace. Enough! And now
All f1uttering thought is still, only rest,
And feel that Thou art near, and know that
am blest.

CALIFORNIA HERMITS.

Is man essentially social animal :?
The scientists say SO. But in the
mountains OF California there are al
most enough men who for years have
led a life of utter solitude to disproye
the generalization. These mountain
hermlts can be found scattered
through the Sierras and the coast
range from ono end of the State to the
other. They are particularly numer-
Gus through this region, centern az
about the Yosemite valley and extend
ing far back into the high Sierras.
Some of them were once guides in the
valley, Others have been miners, and
some again seem to have taken up the
life of solitude simply because they
like it.
10 this class belongs old P. r. Glib
son-'Old Glib" as he is genera Ily
called, who lives on a mountain ranch.
He is seventy-five years old, but is
possessed of as much physical strength
and endurance as the average man of
half his age. He came thirty years
ago from Tennessee, where he left d
wife and a large family Of children.
One OF his sons came to see him re-
Gently and tried to induce him to visit
his former home, but "Old Gib' stead.
lastly refused to leave his ranch and
solitary cabin. He has never seen a
railroad, and the stage drivers from
the nearest station try their utmost to
persuade him to go to town and at
least look at train of cars. But his
invariable answer is: do YOU think
Pm going down there to be bowed I'D
by one of them there blamed engines?
Not much %
Nearly all the men that live this life
of solitude very long get bit queerin
the head, and "Old Gib'' is no excep-
ton to the rule. He has a rigmarole
description of himself which declares
that he is 1.-The best man in the United
States or adjoining territories, either
directly orindirectly, financially, COM
mercIally, enthusiastically or unchurch-
lied" The old man is hard worker,
and when he is not busy on his ranch
he is working energetically making
"shakes''-that is, clapboards split
and sawed by hand from big pine
trees.
Old man Lambert, who has a cabin
in the high Sierras some thirty miles
back of the Yosemite, is another of
the mountain hermits. He has neith-
er ranch nor mining claim, but lives
by what he shoots and by an occa-
sional few dollars earned from camp
ing parties. He has lived along in that
same spot for years and years, and
will in all likelihood stay there until
he dies. There are months at time
that he does not see another human
being. A party of campers one sum-
mer found him making a huge stone
wall that seemed to have no purpose
whatever. In surprise they asked him
what he was piling up those stones
for.
Why" he said, "a mans got to do
something, up here alone, or he'll go
wrong, sure"

CLAYSAUDACIrY,

In the old days, the Supreme Court
of the United States was richer in its
surroundings than it is now. Even to
this day the justices wear gowns
while sitting on the bench; but in
those times, hair-powder, queues,
ruffied shirts, knee-breeches and buck
les were common. Up to this period
no justice had ever sat upon The
bench in trowsers, nor had any law
yer ventured to plead in boots or whis-
kers. Profound respect was paiG to
the justices. When Henry Clay stop
ped, one day, in argument, and, I'D
vancing to the bench, took pinch of
snuff from Justice Washington's box
saying, II perceive that your Honor
sticks to the Scotch" it caused aston
ishment and admiration. Sir" said
Justice Story, in relating the incident
to a friend, 81 do not believe there is
a man in the United States who could
have done that but Mr.. CLAW"

to seeing the stone, which broke it,,

ing his head. Judgment was given as
follows "Inasmuch as, if the witness
Il had not unfortunately ducked
his head, the glass would not have
been struck by the stone, he is hereby
adjudged res ponsible for the breaking
of the window, and is ordered to pay
to the owner the value of the same"

cross he broke through and was drown
