afiOnaI Sentiment.

The early Christians for long time
actually despised patriotism; they not
only saw and felt that on this earth
they had no abiding city, but they
claimed to owe their allegiance to a
higher mower This was notion that
rrevai)ed until the growth OF national
sentiment became strong enough TO make
81 Christian a patriot as well. Macchia-
vslu. who had a lively appreciation Of
the pagan virtues, was one Of the first
writers of renown to exalt patriotism 10
a high place among the virtues. In his
ewes. all was fair in war, If not In love,
and he openly declared his admiration
for those who loved their country better
than the safety of their souls.
Patriotism was, in short. an old-world
virtue, which, at the time of the Renais-
sance. was dragged out of its recess
and refurbished for the use Of the modern
world. Eclipsed for season. it has shone
as bright again as ever II did in Greece
or Rome. Many citizen has since been
cast in the mold Of Aristides or OF
Regulus. But II is curious to observe
that when national sentiment was weak
there was in some respects a greater
sense of the brotherhood of man than
there is to-day.
Amid all its wars and turmoil, Europe
made a nearer approach to solidarity and
union. Christianity was great welding
force. The dreams Of "A universal Church
were In some slight degree realized, and
the Holy Roman Empire was a stupen-
dous fact which formed a cementing bond
between many disorganized races.-Mac-
millans Magazine.

THE BOND IsSUE QUESTION.
Representative Bailey Will Again Bring
Forward His Resolution.

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Representa-
tive Bailey. Of Texas. will agoin bring
forward his resolution questioning Secre-
tary Carlieles authority to issue bonds
10 meet the current expenses in case
another bond issue Is determined upon.
The Bailey resolution excited Inuch COM

bonds was made but fl failed 10 have

bonds were on the market be fore Ir
Bailey was able 10 pilot his resolution
through the judiciary Committee and get
IL before the House.
Now. however, Mr.. Bailey 10 prepared

dertaken. His resolution j. on the calen-
Oar, and he says he will endeaVOr to call
II up on the first in,imatOn that Official
acuon Is being taken on another sale of
bonds There have been reports that the
RAPID disappearance Of gold would neccs-
State another bond issue at an carly
day, but Mr.. Bailey Will not move on
these unoiilcial reports. lie says the
resolution may be changed and strength
ened by being made a joint resolution,
ana ne expresses confidence that both
tne senate ana House will pass ii II it
can be brought 10 vote
Inc BAILEY resolution rs as follows:
ResOlyed. That IL is the sense Of the
mouse or Representatives that the Score
tary OF the Treasury has no authority IN
der existing law to issue and sell the
bonds of the United States. except such
as is conferred upon him by the act ap-
proved January the 18th. 1875. entitled
An act TO provide for the RESUMPTION Of
specie payments. and that the money de-
rived from the sale of bonds issued under
that act cannot be lawfully applied 10
any purposes except those specified there
in"
The majority report of the Judiciary
Committee on the resolution states that
II appears too clear for argument that
the Secretary of the Treasury was au-
thorized TO issue bonds only TO enable
thorized or required in that act. Indeed,
this Is the very language of the law,
and specific as II is ii does not stop
there. but in the concluding part Of that
enabling section there is q plain Nmita-
ton on the right TO issue bonds.
A minority report was made by Repre-
sentatives w. \. Stone. Ray, and Childs.
1t says of the Bailey resolution: "Wheth-
er this action is in good taste or not
we leave for the members Of the major
ity 10 decide. The bonds proposed 10 be
sold are not yet issued and the proceeds
OF bond sale are not yet In the treasury.
The Secretary has not yet violated any
law or misapplied any funds. He has
very frankly declared that the present
condition of the treasury is alarming; that

when he must do one or two things
cease TO pay the obligations Of the Gov
eminent, announce that the Government
of the United States, under Democratic
management. Is bankrupt or use any
money found In the Treasury to main

The minority agrees with the PROPOSE
ton that the proceeds OF bonds should
not be used for current expenses.

Hard on the Cats.

A private English gentleman lives on
the outskirts OF that sacred inclosure-
the preserves. II happens that there are
a good many rats in the neighborhood OF
his house. so IL is necessary to have cats
in order 10 keep them down. These cats
have a strange way Of disappearing one
after another. 1t is of course, easy
enough to replace them, but still it is
very annoying TO nave TO do so continu-
ally, especially TO lovers OF cats. The
neighbors account for their removal by
unanimously ascribing II to the game
keeper. This official seems a very civil
and decent fellow personally, so the ag-
grieved housekecper accosts him, and
asks him point-blank whether he can ac-
count for the disappearance mot to put
too fine a point upon IT," as Mr. Micawber

whether he has not shot the animals

But are you aware. keeper, that this

The discussion thus terminates dis
tiDctly In favor OF the gamekeeper. be-
cause the Squire Is. as before. magis-
trate. and by virtue OF uniting the two
functions In his own person, ne can ar
ford to defy the law with impunity, and

CAPT. Frank Hamlin's Eloquent Address
Largo Attendance.

DANvILLE. VA, May 2s.-Special.-To-
day was Confederate Memorial-Day in
Danvine. Just about the time for the
gathering of the people rain set in;
but In spite of this drawback a good
crowd was in the Academy OF Music
when the exercises were held.
The foot of the stage was literally
banked up with flowers, while stands on
the stage were piled with sweet-scented
roses honeysuckle. etc. On the stages,
besides the orators. marshalls, band, etc..
were all the ministers of Danville and
Neapolis. VINO were in the city.
The programme was a fine one and
every number excellently rendered
In the body of the Academy were the
veterans. the two military companies
tBues and the Cray, Danyille Military
Institute cadets, and the uniform rank
of Knights Of Pythias. all in full uni
form.
The orator of the day was Capt. Frank
NJ Hamlin. who was a member Of the
North Carolina Junior Reserves and
about the youngest captain In the late
war. He gave glowing description Of the
heroism of the boys of the old North
State, their sufferings and privations. He
told Of the great bombardment at Fort
Fisher, and paid fine tribute 10 the late
Senator Zeb Vance. He said no greater
honor, no greater distinction could be
given any people than the privilege TO
guard the memory OF the boys of the
ConfederaSy-thoSe patriots whose names
are inscribed in their country's roll of
honor.
In concluding. he said: "At each recur-
ring spring God sends the sunshine and
the dews TO wake up the buds that bios
som into fragrant flowers, puts the molly
desire into the hearts of our southern
women TO call men immersed in the
business of the day TO cease a while
from their labors and look down the

gave their lives for everything held dear
by men, home, wife. country, mother
and God. Since God has made ii our duty
10 guard the memory of the southern
dead. may we prove equal 10 the task.
and the impression be not lost on coming
generations"
After the benedlction the flowers were
taken 20 the cemetery and scattered over
the graves Of the dead.
