An Object Lesson.

The action of the Mexican Central
Railroad Company in having it's locomo-
tives so altered that they will burn wood
involves an object lesson that the advo-
Gates of free silver coinage in this country
would do we'll to consider. As Mexico
has no coal Mexican railroads hs We to
buy from our mines what they use, and
pay for it in silver. When they tender
Mexican dollars they are taken at their
bullion value. The loss on their money
was so great that the Mexican railroads
have adopted wood as fuel because they
can buy it in Mexico.
The New Orleans Picayune says:
This is only one fact out of many others
which show that a country whose money
is on a silver basis cannot do business with
the outside world without an enormous
loss of values. A Mexican dollar, which
will pass for 100 cents in Mexico, will

States. The only relief for silver coun-
try is to do its business exclusively at
home. If it can cut off all communication
with other countries and live upon its
own resources it makes no differ ence
what sort of money it has, only provided
the money will circulate, but let its

some other country, and ut once it is
brought down to it's real value. Our own

What Girls Talk About.

"What do girls talk about" l asked
one of them, "at their luncheons and dur.
ing calls upon each other?
"Well," she replied, "there are usually
two subjects of conversation at gather
ings of girls, and they are about equally
prolific. One of them is the men and the
other is girls who don't happen to be
present. We discuss the men of our ac-
quaintance from every possible point of
view, exchange condolences that have
been made to US, criticise them with unre-
stricted freedom, and wonder which of
them want to marry and what styles of
girls they prefer. Sometimes We are
rather sharp in our criticisms, but on the
whole the men get out rather easily. But
when it comes to other girls-myl"

"You surely don't intend to convey

girls whose characters you discuss 10 this
cannibalistic way are friends of yours?"
"Why certainly. For instance, on the
south aide the other day we were all
taking o'clock tea and having a simply
beautiful time picking Maria Jones to

DIR. C. +. Deems Dead.

The Rev. DIR. Charles F. Deems, pastor
of the Church of the Strangers, died in
New York Saturday. night He was
ago and after partially recovering suf
fered relapse which proved fatal.
DIR. Deems was an eminent man and
was we'll known in North Carolina, hav.
ing lived here a number of years and oc-
cupying positions of honor and usefulness.
He never lost interest in our welfare
even after leaving the State, and by his
efforts secured valuable donations for
some of our educational institutions.
The following brief sketch of his life is
taken from the New York World and will
be read with interest by North Caro-.
linians:
The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems was
born in Baltimore on December 4, 1920.
His father was a local preacher in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He was
graduated at Dickinson College, in Penn
sylvania, in 1889. During his senior year
be was licensed to preach in the Metho-
dist Church. After graduating he spent
winter in this city, and spoke ON several
occasions in Brooklyn. When but twenty
years old he was appointed general
agent of the American Bible Society, and
selected North Carolina as his field. He
labored with success in this agency until
appointed adjunct professor to the chair
of logic and rhetoric in the University of
North Carolina. which he filled for five
years, leaving it to become professor of
natural science in Randolph Macon Col
lege, Virginia.
He returned to North Carolina q
year later, and shortly afterwards was
elected delegate to the general conference
to be held in St. Louis. While on this
mission he was elected President of the
Greensboro Female College, in North
Carolina, and for five years had charge
of that institution.
In 1854 he again returned to the regu-
lar work Of the ministry. In December,
1865, after trip to Europe, he came to
this city and established religious and
literary weekly called the Watchman.
1t suspended in a short time and in July,
1866, be commenced preaching in the
chapel of the University. This congre
CATION subsequently became known as
"The Church of the Strangers" of which
he was at the time of his death the
pastor. He styled his church "unsecta
rian evangelical" Commodore Wander
bilt by gift of $4,000 helped him to
establish it.
Dr. Deems was married fifty years ago,
and celebrated his golden wedding last
June. He leaves four children, one of
whom is Presby terian minister in Hor,
nellsville, N. Y, Another is physician in
BROOKLYN.

The Hawaiian Outrage.

The report of Special Commissioner
Blount shows how disgraceful was the
conduct of Minister Stevens in connec-
ton with the Hawaiian revolution and
how imperative it is that our government
should repair the wrong which its repre-
sentative committed.
1t appears that Stevens was merely the
tool of the conspirators who deposed the
Hawaiian queen. Without his aid they
would have been powerless. They would
never have attempted to set up the pro-
visional government had they not known
that men. and guns from the United
States war ship were at their command
The whole plot was known to Minister
Stevens in advance and he had agreed to
support the attack on the government as
soon as the signal was given. This is
one of the most shameful affairs in which
the United States has ever been engaged.
President Cleveland is determined to
clear this country's reputation of the
stain of such an outrage, and the people
endorse his Observation-Disclosures Jour.

PROFIT IN PLEASURE AND PATRIOTISM
"THE VETERANs.-There is talk of the
Confederate Veterans" of Mecklenburg
organizing to 60 in body next Summer
to revisit the battle fields around Rich.
mond, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Char.
lottesville, and other points accessible to
railroads.
A gentleman of this city has letter
from friend in Richmond, saying that
there are good electric car, hack and other
lines of conveyance to Seven Pines, Cold
Harbor, Mechanicsville and other inter
esting places near that city; and he under
stands accommodations can also be had
for like purposes at Petersburg and
fredericksburg.
Now it only remains for some enter
prising young Confederate" to systema-
tie the work. 1t is necessary to arrange
the "plan OF march and movement" 80 as
to make the trip in the least time, at the
lowest cost and with as little fatigue and
worry to the old heroes as possible.
This to them would be better than the
Worlds Fair, or the Birmingham Re.
union. And there is money in it for both
Charlotte and Richmond. It would en-.
liven up things all round.
Of the above, published in the daily
papers, the Richmond Dispatch says:
ave trust that this talk will result in
favorable action. Our Virginia camps
would be glad to see their North Carolina
brethren here whenever they may make
it convenient to come.
The war is getting far back in the past,
and our veterans ought to let slip no op-
portunity of meeting one another; partic
ularly where it is possible to do so on
fields Redeemed by their blood and glori-
fed by their valor."

October.

fore called October; it still retains it's
name though it is now the tenth in the
Julian calander.
This month is the link between summer
and winter; sometimes warm enough to
remind as of the summer which has
passed, and sometimes cold enough to
warn US OF the long, cold winter which
is to come. The leaves begin to turn from
an emerald green to russet brown, gold, !,
aud red. The golden rod, the harbinger
of winter, the roses. chrysanthemums,
are in their glory. How beautiful does
the landscape look after a heavy rain.
The woods, sombre mass before, reveals
its varied tints of yellow, green, brown,
and red. The verdant meadow land is
bright and glowing, which seemed as if it
had been blind before, a moment since,
and now looks up at the shining sky.
Corn fields, fences, homestead, clustered
roofs, the steeples Of the churches, the
streams, the water mills, all lay smiling
in the October sun, birds Sing sweetly,
flowers bloom gaily, fresh scents arise
from the ground. The blue exp panse
above extends and diffuses itself; already
the suns slanting rays have pierced
mortally the sullen black cloud that
fingers in its fight, and rain bow, spirit
of all the colors that adorn the sky and
earth, spans the whole arch with its
triumphant glory. The leaves begin to
fall and are soon buried in the cold, damp
earth, emblematic of the death that
awaits US all, when we, too, will be
buried in the cold, damp ground, but un.
like the leaves, we will await the resur.
rection morn when new life will be given
US.
