ZEB VANCE Is DEAD.

How strange the sound! Undying is his
name,
Immortal is his memory they came,
A product of his own, his native soil,
Revered and loved by every son of toll
Zeb. Vance? The very name is honor's
Its loyalty into all hearts has grown;
No other titled name, in honor's ken,
Could e'er supplant this simple cognomen.
His name was synonym for hope and song,
For cheer and laughter, and for truth SO
The pet the idol of the Old North State
A heartful man, whom none could ever
hate,
Z sterling, gen'rous hearted friend,
Sincere and honest, faithful to the end.
But now It's true that DER his restful bed
His native pines will whisper, He is dead
Meath Heavens great rotunda, laid in
Will lie this honest man-So true, so great,
And DER HIM, natures obsequies will roll
And chant requiem for his noble soul.
In many a little school-house, by the way
When lessons shall have ended for the
day,
The pedagogue, with awe, will bow his
head
And tell the children that ''Zeb. Vance is
dead ~
And tell, with wondering, the news they
know
The very cow-bells catch the strain so
dread
And slowly dole the news ''Zeh Vance is
dead"
And when his lifes good angel shall have
brought
Him safely to the paradise he sought,
And led him to the threshold of the gate
Not long the servant of his State will wait.
Nor Governor, nor Senator will be
The signal or the rank of his degree;
But loud hosannas "welcome, welcome
home"
And loud the welkin ring, "Zeb. Vance is
come ~

first in the hearts of his countrymen.' Be

that for many years past there has

thing of an unwrittcn law in our par
ty, that one of our Senators shall be
taken from the Eastern and one from

Whether this be wise arrangement
or not, | do not propose to be in the
way of the peoples continuing it if
they shall so desire. | have accepted
this temporary appointment made by
the Governor, under conditions and
for reasons which | need not discuss.
with distinct purpose that | will not

of worthy names have been suggested
in the papers in connection with the

to all of these gentlemen and their
friends that 50 far as | am concerned
the field is open to them, and they

to have been spoken to Senator ALI

sciouS The conversation on the pre-
ceding evening had reference to his
public services and to early and life
long friendships. His big heart
seemed full Of tender recollections and
lie spoke pathetcally and affection
ately of his family and friend; and
charitably Of all who had wronged
and misunderstood him. He felt
keenly the helplessness that kept him
fIom his public duties. Speaking Of
this he said:
s.It is my decided inclination to re-
sign; | think about it seriously; it is
duty / owe the people, but it is ques-
tion of bread and meat; it is all L have

public life, but l am very poor. l
don't think my worst enemy will say
/ am dishonest, but if | had my life
to live over again | would lay some
thing aside for old age and my chill
drcn."
DEVOTION TO NORTH CAROLINA
Constantly during his conversation
he alluded to his State and to his great
wish to go once more among the PEG

said with smile on his haggard face,
''that | could tell them some things
that others might not like to talk
about. All that | am, all that | ever
had, | owe to the people of North
Carolina. They know, | am happy to
confidence and how grateful L feel to
them. Come what may | have faith
in their love and devotion and believe
they will never see me suffer"
TEARS OF A DYING MAN.
Turning the conversation to his
family, as he talked great tears filed
his eyes and he wept as though his
heart was crushed. { was then 10
o'clock Mr.. Afffsvn left him in good
spirits and on his return was shocked
at the sight of the unc Jnscious dying
man. 1t was the last connected
conversation with anyone imme-
diately preceding death. The
voice that has SO long aroused the
manhood and patriotism of his people;
that has so eloquently and boldly vim
dicated their integrity is hushed for
