Ransom Will Stand.

Few die and none resign. and Sena-
tor Ransom knows a good thing and is
disposed to hold On to it. The que.-
tion for the Democratic party to decide
is whether it wants him or somebody
else. There is disposition in some
quarters TO make Ransom the test of
the qualification Of Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature with view
of securing party unity. But the pros
pect of obtaining the desired result by
that method i. not promising. For in
stance Senatorial aspirant in Burke
county writes that ANY changes could
only be for the worse" And this view
of the matter is held to large ex'
tent in the western part Of the State
where several newspaper cOrrespon
dents have suggested tina: all candidates
should place themselves on record to
vote for Ransom in caucus.-States

A BEAUTIFUL POEM.

[Among the numerous poetic effusions in
spired by the war, none was more sweet
and touching than the following lines, the
author of which is unknown ::
The maid VITO binds her warriors sash,
And, smiling. all her pain dissembles,
The while beneath the dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep and wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle.
The mother who cOnceals her grief,
While to her heart her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
Kissing the patroit brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on freedoms field of honor.

THE VIRGINIA DARE DESK.
Placed in the State Library in
the City of Raleigh.
News Observer Chronicle

The Virginia Dare Desk, which was
exhibited at Chicago by the Virginia
Dare Association of North Carolina,
has been placed in the State Library
in this city, where it can now be seen
Accompanying it are handsome chair
and a framed picture in oil of the con
vention of women of Edenton in 1774
The desk makes handsome ornament
and card upon it gives the following
description:
THE VIRGINIA DARE DESK.
This desk was sent to the Colum.
bian Exposition at Chicago by the
Virginia Dare Association Of North
Carolina, as tribute to the memory
of Virginia Dare, the first white child
born of English speaking parents on
! the soil of North America.
1t is made of wood from Roanoke
Island, in North Carolina, where the
first English Settlements in America
were made by Sir Walter Raleigh, and
where in 1887, Virginia Dare was
born and baptized.
The architectural design was fur.
nished by Mr.. Silas McBee, a native
of North Carolina, but now of the
University of the South, Sewanee.
Tennessee.
The panels were designed and
covered by Miss Cheshire, of Tarboro
N. c., and relate to the history o
Roanoke Island.
The central front panel represents
an actual section of the coast of this
island. The figure of the Doe is sym
bolic Of Virginia Dare, whom in ad-
miration of her fair complexion, the
Indians called the white Doe, and
who an Indian legend relates, was
changed into white Doe and haunted
the island
On the right front panel is repro.
