1.-THE OLD NORTH STATE"

North Cardinals great hymn Of
patriotism, written by that great
patriot, Judge CASTOR, will always
inspire as unbounded enthusiasm in a
crowd of Tar Heels as ever "God
Save the Queen" does in the hearts Of
Britons, the " Marsellaise" in the hearts
of Frenchmen, or ssDixe" in the sou S
of all true Southerners. "The Old
North State" is immortal; it will live
as long as North Carolina is a Com
monwealth in the greatest union Of
free States the sun ever shone on.
Our very love for the good old song
makes us grateful to any who has a
word of praise tor it. The following
was written to the Richmond Dispatch
recently by Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss, OF
Staunton, Va. Maj. Hotchkiss was on
Jackson's staff during the war. He
was lecturer on geography in the North
Carolina normal schools of 1878, 1879,
1880:
In recent issue you say truly, anent
State songs, elf The Old North
State is not distinctive, it would be
difficult to say what is.'' Any one
who has ever heard that soul-stirring
melody sung by large gathering of
State loving North Carolinians will
heartily concur in your opinion that
the words and the melody of this song
are not only distinctive, but that they
are also patriotic and inspiring, and at
the same time eminently dignified.
shall never forget the impression
produced upon me by the use made Of
this song on public occasions in North
Carolina. Some years ago, when de-
livering a course of lectures to the
teachers of that State at the University
at Chapel Hill, the president of that
institution, DR.. Battle, always opened
the general exercises by calling for the
singing of ''The Old North State by
the full audience, in full chorus, and
all standing, as a sort of North Caro-
lima dOxology. 1t was always sung
with hearty good will, everybody
appearing to know the words and the
air, and the wave of patriotic tervor
that it always raised was an inspiring
introduction for one who would lecture
for the benefit Of the noble people OF
the Old North State. / have often
wished that Virginia had such an
inspiring State song, not only for use
on public occasions, but to be specially
"appointed to be sung by all the
children in her public schools.' Who
will write this for us?
There is no braver or more patriotic
spirit than the Virginians, and there is
no State with more glorious record tc
furnish theme for a patriotic State
song. May the singer Maj. Hotchkiss
wishes for soon attune his harp -

McClure's Magazine for Novem-
ber

The first painting OF Napoleon was
made under peculiar circumstances. He
was mere youth, a second-lieutenant,
and utterly unknown to fame and
wretchedly poor. The famous painter,
Greuze, happened to be passing through
Valence, where Napoleon was stationed,
and Madame du Colombier, a lady OF
prominence in whose circle Napoleon had
been admitted, ordered the painter to
make his portrait, saying that, if no
misfortune befell him, he would play a
great role. The portrait passed from
Madame du Colombier to her daughter,
Madame de Bressieux, and at the death
OF the latter it was acquired by the uncle
OF the present owner, who is the Marquis
de Las Cases. A reproduction OF this
now famous painting is the frontispiece
to McCaure's Magazine for November, and
is, perhaps, the most remarkable of the
fifteen early portraits of Napoleon in
that magazine.

THE CIAR DEAD,

Alexander III, Gar OF all the
Russias, is dead. His life had hung
in the balance for weeks and the end
came not unexpected. His Oldest son
the Grand Duke Nicholas, succeeds
him, as Emperor, having been crowned
Nicholas II. The Atlanta Constitution
says this of the dead ruler:
1t is not the proper time to pass
judgment upon the third Alexander.
His deeds and motives will have to be
sifted and weighed, and it may be
generation before the full effect of some
OF his measures will be felt. At
later day impartial history will render
its verdict.
The car was more enlightened and
humane than many of the Romanofs,
but his persecution of the Jews and OF
the Catholics was cruel and indefensi-
Bile.
Aside from these crimes against the
helpless and innocent, Alexander has
made one of the best rulers that Russia
has ever had. He has maintained the
peace of Europe, and if he has held
the people down he has frequently
manifested his love for them. In the
great cholera epidemic he visited the
hospitals, exposed himself to the
plague, and encouraged the sick and
the dying. During the famine he gave
the sufferers $1,000, 900 out of his
private purse.
If he had great faults he had some
great virtues. 1t may be said in his
behalf that il he was a despot, he
inherited his policy from a long line
of tyrants. If he distrusted the people
it must be recolleCted that he was in
constant danger of assassination, and
the attempts upon his life naturally
made him bitter and revengeful.
Whether his death will change the
European status and bring on general
war in the nea- future is doubtful. His
successor may find that peace promises
him more than war. But, be this as
1t may, 1t is not likely that the new
emperor will be in hurry to inaugurate
a warlike policy.
THERE is one man in this State who
can go to bed tonight with the
consciousness of duty done-of an
arduous task faithfully and in,elligently
performed. That man is James H.
Pou. We have kept track OF his work
during the campaign, and are prepared
to testify that it has been unremitting
and we'll directed. No man, we
believe, could have done better in the
position Of chairman than Mr.. Pou has
done. Whatever the result of to- DAYS
election, the Democratic party is his
debtor.-Charlotte Obse,ver.

An Agreements to Expedite Tariff Work
Comes to Nothing.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-FOr several
hours yesterday Senators A1drich and
Allison conferred with Senators Har-
ris and Cockrell and each side held
consultations with party friends As
q result. an agreement was reached
to proceed under the five minute rule
with the schedules of the bill until
wool should be reached, and finish
them this week, so that the wool
schedule could be taken up next Mon
day. This included the agricultural
schedule, which is now under cOnsid-
Grafton, spirits, wines and other bev-
erages, cotton manufactures and fax,
hemp and jute-
At o'clock Mr. Harris proposed
the agreement in the senate, and,
with the modification that sena tors
might speak for ten minutes, it was
discussed by Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. FRYE.
While the discussion was going on
Mr.. Quay came in, asked what was
before the senate and objected. This
killed the agreement temporarily at
least.
II Before the agreement was presented
Mr.. Hoar introduced a resolution call
ing on the Judiciary committee to pass
upon the equity of the action of the
attorney general in claiming SIS. OOO,-
600 from the estate of the late Leland
Stanford. He eulogized Mr.. Stanford
and praised the objects to which he
had devoted his wealth. Mr.. Black
burn said the course prompted by the
resolution was unprecedented in the
history of congress The real ques-
ton was whether the estate which
was devised by Mr.. Stanford to edu-
cational purposes had not been wrong
fully diverted from the United States.
No action was taken.

PORTLAND, Ore, June S.-No accu-

along the Columbia and WillaIne tie
rivers can be made. It is certain.
however, to run into millions of dol
lars. The entire Northwest, inclu ding
Idaho, Washington and Oregon and
British Column ia is virtually shut of
from the East by floods. The Cana
dian Pacific roads have been washed
out for hundreds of miles, and it will
require weeks to repair the damage
when the water goes down.
In Northern idaho the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific have been
washed out for miles, rendering the
roads almost useless west of Idaho.
The Union Pacific is partly used from
Umatilla west. and the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation cOmpany's road,
which is the western connection of
the Union Pacific. will have to be
practically rebuilt from Umatilla to
Portland, a distance of 200 miles
The Upper Colum bia is not falling,
but the river here remains stationary.
1t will require at least a week for the
w alter to get out of the streets when
ever it begins to recede. as at many
points on Front street the water is
ten feet deep. The streets adjacent
to the flooded districts. which now in
cludes three fourths of the business
portion of the city, are alive with
vehicles of all kinds hauling goods
out of the water.

MILITIA is THERE.
Miners Ready TO Fight at Drop

DESvER, Col, June S.-Unless some
excited posse of deputies or band OF
reckless miners persist in making
trouble, the crisis at Cripple Creek is
over. The most authentic facts out
of a great mass of excited telephone
and telegraphic dispatches indicate
that the miners are willing to lay
down their arms, come into the camps
of the national guards and become
good citizens once more.
The militia, under Brigadier Cen
eral Brooks, 500 strong made a forced
march from Midland starting at mid
night, and reached the scene of the
troubles at o'clock in the afternoon,
none too soon to prevent a clash be-
tween the miners and the deputies.
When Brooks reached the camp he
requested the deputies to withdraw
their picket line and he would su b.
stitute his own men, To this tn
deputies demurred.
Last evening a squad of deputies
marched through the main streets in
military order. Mayor Lindsey took
the occasion to tell the deputies that
they must not enter the corporate
limits of the city any more
They passed on without making a
stop, evidently intent on making some
point of vantage before dark Sheriff
Bowers was waited on by a large del
egation of deputies, who urged him

POISONED BY Mulberries.

EUFALA, l. T., June s.-As a result
of eating mulberries, two families
have been entirely broken up. Last
week the families of two farmers liv-

Tom Waugh. ate a lot of mulberries
that they had gathered, and in a short
while they were all taken suddenly

having been locust eggs in the ber-
ries. Timmons and Waugh have both
died, and several of each family are
very low and not expected to live.
The symptoms are scientifically the
same as those of Asiatic cholera.
