The Voyage Of the Falcon.

The voyage of the Falcon is the
most hopeful enterprise yet unders
taken in Arctic exp grafton. in
that it brings into service all the
resources OF modern invention and
of practical experience. Lieuten-
ant Perry's expedition to Greens
land was an example of what can
be accomplished by method of o I.
gauization. 1t accomplisheswhat it
set out to do, in exactly the time
arranged and in every respect acs
cording to programme. Lieuten-
ant Peary now proposes to apply
the same system and method to a
more daring exploration in the
direction of the North Poe.
Whether or not he is destined to
solve the central geographical
problem of the frozen zone, there
5 very good reason to expect that
he will come nearer to it than any
one before him. Unlike previous
explorers, be is not undertaking to
sail beyond point where a ship
may safely penetrate and will not
be dependent on his ship for shells
ter. He will establish himself at
home as far north as practicable,
with ample provisions for a long
soiourn, and will then choose the
most favorably season to press for
ward by siedge or other means of
conveyance, applying the practical
eX Xperience gathered in his Greens
land trip.
This system extends very greatly
the penetrating northward while
greatly diminishing the risks, and
Perry has hitherto shown such
great judgment and capacity that
this new undertaking must be fol-
lowed not only with sympathetic
interest, but with more than a
usual degree of confident expecta~
ton. Arctic exploration has long
seemed all but hopeless, and we
said goodsbye to each new explorer
with the thought that we should
probably never see him again.
There is no such feeling in the
present case We know that Peary
can take care of himself ; that he
knows just what he has to do and
how to do if, and we say goodbye
to him and his companions in the
assurance that i'll due time we shall
hail their return with a fresh store
of knowledge and fresh bonors for
American science and seamanship.

"WHY SHOULD WE WEEP FOR
THOSE WHO DIE?n

Why should we weep for those who
die?
They fall, their dust returns to dust.
Their souls shall live eternally
Within the mansions of the Just.
They;dle to live, they sink to rise,
They leave this wretched mortal
shore;
But brighter suns and bluer skies
Shall smile on them for evermore.
Why should we sorrow for the dead?
Our life on earth is but a span,
They tread the path that all must tread.
They die the common death of man.
The noblest songsters OF the dale.
Must cease when Winters frowns ap-
pear,
The reddest rose must wan and pale
When autumn tints the changing year.
The fairest flower on earth must fade,
The brightest hopes on earth must
die;
Why should we mourn that man was
made
To droop on earrh, but dwell on high?
The soul, th' eternal soul, must reign
Tn a world devoid OF pain and strife;
Then why should man complain
Of death, which leads to happier life?
-Tennyson.

HEREAFTER.

When all life's storms are still,
And all life's noises into calm have
passed,
When rest and quiet come to us at
last,
What matters good or i'll?
What matter love or hate?
Calm hands are folded Ger a quiet
breast,
The weary head is pillowed in sweet
rest,
And SORROW comes too late!
What matters wealth or fame?
The narrow grave is all that earth can
give;
The deathless soul in other worlds
shall live,
And men forget our name.
What matters aught of earth?
The passing pictures of shadowed
dream,
The changing eddies of turbid
stream,
Sure, these are nothing worth.
Why, then, despond, my friend?
The one thou lowest has found at last
Sweet peace and calm and rest when
toll is past,
And death is not the end!

BEFORE AND AFTER,


All is not lost, though much is changed
and dimned,
Though tame the eager torrent of de-
sire,
And sobered, dashed, or dead the hopes
that trimmed
The morning hills of time with msgic
fire.
The loyal love that wears not customs
rust,
The faith still frmest found when
hardest tried,
The calm, the charity, the judgment
just,
That fail not as the years that sadden
glide.
The aftsrplow of youths pure faded
dream,
The holy hush of memory-these we
keep,
Sunset benignly fingers, and life's
stream
Is rosy as it wanders to the deep.
Sweet still earth's air to taste, heaven 5
light to see,
Still smiles o'er-tost, DER tranquil
man, the moon,
As glad it is in Spring to breathe, to be,
AS kind the comfort of the river s
tuned.

to the great number of youthful

The discussion of such questions
is Of great benefit to the people, and

such questions without due refec-

1t is a great pity that the utter----
ances. of the editor of the NORTH

to dnplease many Of the leading
Colleges of the State, first because
they Rave injured the Teachers
Assembly, and weakened its lnfu>
ence-.a fact known to every one,
and more clearly seen to day; and
secondly has injured the attendance
at Morehead, and caused bitter fac
tions to arise among the teachers, ali
of which Las made the gathering at
Morehead less pleasant to many and
Mr.. Perry suffers from it inan-
cially. But to the proceedings:-Dr.
Crowell spoke of "a College Educa-
ton. What is lt?'
We cannot do the speaker Justice
in an attempt to give an outline of
his address, but 1t was interesting,
deep and brainy.
DR.. Shearer and Prof, Hobgood
followed DR.. Crowell and made
some very short but able talks.
Prof. Harding's address tonight was
"Sapoleo.'
His address was we'll prepared,
showed great research and remark
able familiarity with literature, and
abounded in interest. His happy
delivery and witty illusions did
much to hold the attention of his
small audience.
The management of the hotel, the
surf bathing, the fishing and sailing
are SO pleasing to all that Mr.. Perry
has kindly extended to all the rate
of one dollar per day till July 6.

A JustihabIe Closure.

MI. GLADSTONE is abnndantly
justified in proposing ruIe to ex-
pedite the consideration of the
home rule bill IN the House of
commons, and the very moderate
application of "closure" or what
is called in this country the previous
question-cannot fairly be objected
10.
There are occasions when OTIS
struct'on is not only justitiable but
may be a patriotic duty, as the
only means Of defeating iil-conr
sidered legislation under The
tryanny of anaccidental majority.
But when the Legislative body has
been elected on distinct issue and
the majority proceed to carry out
their instructions, the duty OF the
minority is fulfilled in reasonable
discussion and the proposal of
proper amendments, and is ex
ceeded when obstruction is resorted
to to defeat the clearly ascertained
will of the country.
Such Is the present situation IN
Parliament. The majority of the
constituencies having declared en-
phatically in favor of Mr.. Glad
stones home rule measure, it be-
comes the duty Of the Honse of
Commons to act upon it. It's ops
ponents cannot defeat it, but they
have undertaken to talk it to
death. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Gladstone is clearly right in
proposing to put some limit on
the debate in order to reach vote

THE HOUSE OF NEVER.

The house ofNever is built, they say,
Just over the hills of the By-and By.
Its gates are reached by a devious way,
Hidden from all but an angels eye,
1t winds about and in and out
The hills and dales to sever.
Once over the hills of the By~and~By
And you're lost in the house of
Never.
The house Of Meyer is filled with waite,
With just>in,a-minutes and pretty
soons;
The noise of their wings as they beat
The gates
Comes back to earth in the afternoons,
When shadows fly across the sky
And rush with rude endeayor
To question the hills Of the BYsanda
By
AS they ask for the house of Never,
The house ofNeyer was built with tears;
And lost in the hills OF the By-andsBy
Are million hopes and a million fears,
A baby's smiles and women's cry.
The winding way seems bright
to~day,
The n darkness falls forever,
For over the hills OF the By ~and~By
Sorrow waits in the house fNever.

An Early Extra Session.

We are not surprised that
President Cleveland is receiving
from all parts of the country ur.
gent requests that he call congress
together speedily.
Under the circumstances, this
demand is natural, 1t is Just and
the president should accede to it
without further delay.
1t is his supposed intention to call
all extra ssion for September, but
September is more than two
months distant and the country
should not be subjected to a con-
continuance and a possible in
crease of the present financial
stringency with all it's attending
dangers two months longer than is
necessary.
This is great uncertainty as to
what sort o. legislation we are to
have on the money question and
the tariff, and such uncertainty de-
stroys confidence and paralyzes
business.
We ought to know as soon as
possible what the financial policy
Of the government is to be.Cannot
know until Congress fixes it. We
ought to get rid of the Sherman act
just as soon as possible and we can
not get rid of it until Congress
meets.
July is far better month for the
extra session than September, and
the earlier in July the better.
We sincerely hope that the
President will delay in this impors
tant matter no longer.--Atlaaato

JULIA FORCE

On Trial for Murder in Atlanta-Affe citing
Scenes in Court-verdict of Not Guilty.
ATLANTA, June 27.-The Julia
Force murder case was resumed
this morning at 9 o'clock before
Judge Richard Clark. The statea
ment of Miss Force was introduced
by Solicitor Hill for the prosecu.
ton. This statement was written
by Miss Julia, She claimed that it
embodied the true statement of her
entire life up to the time of the
killing of her two sisters. 1t was
remarkable in that it extended
back to six months before she was
bora. Messrs George and Allie
Force were put upon the stand by
the defence and denied the truth OF
her statements. Miss Sarah Colly
estjfed that Miss Force told her
the statement was written on
Tuesday before the killing.
1t is an unusual thing TO see the
family of the murdered persons
seated by the murderer or muir
deress, but such was the case this
morning when the opening ar-
gument was bgun by Solicitor Hill,
and counsel for defence announced
that they had closed. The Solicitor
made a few remarks outlining the
States case. He was followed by
Mr.. Burton Smith for the defense.
Mr.. Smith made strong appeal
to the jury, and the effect of it was
plainly visible upon the iaces of
several. Col. Hardeman, of Macon,
followed also for the defense. He
is kinsman OF Miss Force, and he
made an exceptionally able argus
ment. When Hardeman referred
to the fact that Miss Julia Force
had wished her mother damned,
defendant was affected aud sobbed
softly.
After the dinner recess, Judge
Clark charged the jury. During
the delivery OF his remarks Miss
Force sat immovable before the
jury, with her face buried in her
hands. In his charge Judge CLARK
referred to the enormity of the
crime, and said the jury should
consider the prior life of the pris~
oner. He said the crime was pros
baby without parallel, unless it be
in the Borden murder case 1t that
crime was committed by Lizzie
Borden, the Force murder was
even more horrible than that. AS
the Judge was charging the jury
the prisoner broke down, sobbitfR
conyulsIvely.
The jury remained out only a
few minutes and at 3 O'Clock
brought in verdict of not guilty,
1t will be remembered thas Miss
Force vas tried shortly after the
murder occurred on writ of lu-
macy and was promptly judged in
sane. Solicitor General Hill held
that the proceeding was irregular.
as the case should have gone first
before the Criminal Courts, where
the prisoner had the privilege OF
entering the plea of insanity and
esta abiishing it to the satisfaction OF
the jury. This has been done, and
about Miss Forces insanity there
seems to be little doubt. She will
be sent at once to the State lunatio
asylum at Milledgeville.

Speak for Honest Pensions.

Another Grand Army Post
the Marcus L. Ward Post, No. 8S.
of Newark, New Jersey-has come
to the front to demand Pension res
form.
A resolution was formally
adopted by the Post calling upon
Congress to provide for the publis
cation of the names, residences,
nature of disability and amount of
pension paid, in each community,
to facilitate the exposure of pens
sion frauds.
The Newark Post very properly
assume that when the pension roll
is made roll of honor, no PEN
sioner will object to having bis
name, disability aud amount OF
pension known to his neighbors;
but the pension thief will OBJECT OF
course.
Where are the Philadelphia
GrandArmy Posts? Several of them
rpoke out manfully in support OF
President Cleveland's veto in 1887
and all OF them should speak out
now. They are on trial before the
country; let them speak heroically
