time and died after three days illness.

At a time when the Irish situation
seemed critical to the officials at Dublin,
in 1881 or 1882, a certain liberal peer was
delegated to go to Hawarden and consult
with Gladstone. Upon his return his
friends received him with eagerness
well, what did he say; what policy did
he recommends" The peer blushed
slightly, hesitated moment, and then
mildly remarked: "Well, to tell the
truth, the fellow was so wonderfully
agreeable that we never got on the sub
iect of Ireland at all"

Butterflies as Food.

One would not imagine that butter
flies We're very nourishing article of
diet. yet millions of them are eaten
every year by the Australian abort
gines. They congregate in vast quaint
ties on the rocks of the Bugong noun
tains, and the natives secure them by
kindling fires of damp wood, which
smoke very much, and thus suffocate
the little insects.

You See

There is something wrong with the law
that governs our selectmen, because some
times we have two superintendent of
HIGHWAYS when there should be only one.
Then, ain, the selectmen will employ
two book keepers when the law does not
make provision for one, and the man who
sweeps the crossing pays the bill.
KELLY says there is a remedy. Ask
the legislature to pass law that each Sc
Iectnan should furnish bond that every
dollar he votes to pay out in excess of
what is appropriated at the annual town
meeting. that the bondsman will be held
for the same except what is paid to the

State Pride.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
A people without pride are
generally held in poor esteem
by others. North CaroIini-
ans for one cause or anoth !.
rr have been lacking in pride
and ourneigh horsin Virginia
and South Carolina look up
on us with a sort ofcomplac-
ent contempt.
The other day a gentleman
of education and manners
came into our Office and in
qnired for a Carolina paper.
Knowing what he mealt, we
handed him two from South
Carolina without comment.
But that is Il fair index of
how people outside Of North
Carolina think of us and our
State. 1t is habitual with
them. And we contribute to
foster the habit. We never
assert ourselves. We never
stand before the world and
assert that We tnke pride in
North Carolina products.
We never proclaim that our
most important North Caro-.
lima product-onr men-are
the equal OF other men. We
never act on that assump
ton. We do not think it. We
belittle ourselves. We play
the roll of Uriah Heep in our
miserable humility. Wecourt
contempt and we receive it.
That is the truth of the m at
ter. And still North Carroll
ma has much to he proud Of.
She has Il right to be proud
of her soldiers, her states
men, her orators, her schol-
ars, her preachers. Let us fos.

vate it. Let us q { least cease

Keeps.

He wanted to he a preach,

find anything to do in the
small college town where he
had been studying, the youth
call him Richard Vernon
went out among the farmers
to see if he could get work
from them. He found a man
who was very busy with bis
spring work and in d hurry
to get the burrows ploughed
in a big field Tor potato PLAN

The weather was favorable
for planting; tho fatlnef's

Richard that he might Ittatk.

for the planting, and if he.
suited he might be hired for
two or three months. Mean.
time the farmer saw that the
boy was very anxious to stay
and that he had evidently a
good position.
So the young flleologian
went to work with tremen-
dous vigor. He did rot stop
to take breath until he had
marked off a large tract OF
ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employerfrom
his work in another part Of
the farm and looked at the
boys work. and leaned up
against the fence and laugh

Curious Names on Pension Checks.

New York Sun,
This is IA big country, and
there is a big variety in the
names it's residents carry
through life with them. No
better opportunity to get an
idea Of the oddities in family
and given names can be had
than at one OF the treasury
branches. where checks from
all parts Of the country come
in, and none,of thess offices
gets a widerrange of novel
| ty in nomenclature than the
subtreasliry in this city.
The subtreasury does a tire
mendous business in pension
checks, and some very curl.
ous Endorsements appear up
on these bits of paper, which,
as a matter OF fact, gives
m ore conclusive evidence
than do the majority of the
o t h er financial documents
sent in that the ways OF the
American christeners are past
finding out. a collection Of
SOM of the curious names
under which no doubt per-
sons manage to lead irespec-
table lives has to include
those OF a good many 1ndi-
ans, but the most novel OF
their titles are fully matched
hy some of the appellatiOns
of whites. The colored broth
err, too. is no doubt RESPONSE
BILE for his share Of the queer
names.
Az to the pious nntecedents
Of Christian Scripture, there
should he no doubtand Chris
tian Bible should be equally
above reproach. John t b g
Baptist Theophilus Ploof can
do no less than live up to his
name. while Anita Katclia-
baptist may find In hers a re-
minder of some old family ro-
man,e. Abel Cain has t o
thank Biblical sources evi-
IDENTIFY from the way he writes
his autograph.
Christian is a favorteit ap
pears. There are Christian
Canary and Christian Gall,
while Christian Finger also
figures in thelist. Lizzie Bare
foot, Charity Tom, Peter Me-
nagerie, Clean Berry, Brazil
Pepper. John Duck, Millie
Drake, John Chicken, Rose
cardinal, Winter Green, John
Roselip. Joseph Goodpasture
Eliza Stonecipher, Amelia 4.
Turnipseed, Sandy B gard,
Bad Temper, Adam Apple
and Peasant Ladd offer px-
amplps of rather curious com
bin,tions.
There are others which are
still more Unusual. Lone Lii
ar, for instance, is certainly
an oidity. George Washing
ton Annanias suggests an in
cungruity. So does Temper
ance Rumy, while Day Night
and August Blizzard are not
far behind. Smith Corns, Lean
Redman, 9. W. Heavystride,
Daniel Death, Henry Five
coats, Birdsong Grow, Hen
Try Pancake and Fred Cold
snow are NIL names toattract
attention on a sign Board.
Geography was evidently
respected in the family often.
