We'll, he isn't the man of my

The girl grew firm at once.
Now, look here, papa" she said.
"SOme day my daughter will probably

coaxingly to her father, But, papa,

When Speaker Crisp occupies the
chair in the house of representatives
his SON Charles stands always at his
right hand. The young mans official
title is speakers clerk" and the du-
ties of his position are of a peculiar
nature. Anyone who has occasion to
deal with the father soon finds out
how much dependence he places on
the son. It is also easy to see that the
speaker is devoted to the 81 m, boyish
clerk who is his memory, his prompter,
his congressional directory and his
daily program rolled into one. There
is no young man in this country to-
day who holds more important and
arduous position than young Charles

young and fresh is his face.
When the house is called to order he
appears at his fathers right hand.
The speaker doesn't need lot of
memoranda; his son takes the place.
The business for the day has been laid
out by the committee on rules and the
speaker. Charlie Crisp has seer the
chairman of the committee or his clerk
and has the program in his memory.
lie knows just what business has been
arranged for the daily session and in
Just what order all bills are to be
taken up. He also knows which mem
bers are to be recognized to introduce
bills, and every man who is to speak
on every measure to be discussed. He
knows in what order it has been ar
ranged to recognize them ana he
keeps his father apprised of the order.
Young Mr.. Crisp is the one person in
the house who knows the name OF
every member. When the new ones
come in he studies them up till he has
them all in his head. He knows what
committees they are assigned to and

Vision OF Insects.

A correspondent, referring to the
curious fact that neither flies nor
wasps will venture to pass through a
window across which piece of fish
net is stretched. asserts that the phe-
nornenon is due to the confused vision
possessed by insects. The threads of
the nets give them the impression of a
continuous surface, just as with us do
the hatchings of an engraving that we
1apk at from @ distance. The animal
believes itself to be in front of more
or less translucent obstacle, but one

THE NEW ASSIGNMENT
LAW.

The act to prevent fraudulent
assignment, passed by the last
session of the Legislature, took
effect January Ist. 1894, and a
party making all assignment in
North Carolina will find more
stringent requirements than has
recently been the case.
Upon the execution of a volunta-
~ deed Of trust all debts of the
maker thereof become due, and
are payable at once. The assig-
nor will be required to file veri-
fed schedule of preferred debts in
the Office Of the clerk within five
days, and the trustee file a veri-
fed inventory in he office Of the
clerk within ten days.
The clerk of the Superior count
is given jurisdiction to remove
an insolvent trustee under Ger
tain provisions.
The assignee cannot sell any of
the property within ten days
from the registration thereof, I'M
less the property or some part
thereof be perishable.
Every three months the trustee
must file with the clerk a verified
account of receipts and disburse-
ments, and must file final &C
count within twelve months.
Creditors must file a verified
statement of their claim with the
clerk.
The creditor who knowingly
swears falsely will be guilty of a
rnisdeneanOr, and the trustee
failing to file an inventory will
also be guilty Of a 1nisdemeanor.
The clerks of courts are to re-
ceive the same fees for their ser
vices that are allowed by law up
on inventories, accounts and pro-
ceeding OF executors and admin
istrators.

NODISCIPLINE.

News from Washington shows
a sad want of Democratic disci-
pine.
We have heretofore had occa-
sion to allude to this, and we IRE
vert to it because of the mischief
it is doing.
The President is not blameless
in the matter, but Congress can
not escape its responsibility.
When the President called
Judge Gresham to the Cabinet he
showed a lalnentable disregarI of
the sentiments of his party, and
since that time party lines have
been very loose at Washington.
The retention of Republicans
in Office has had a disastrous eff
feet, and it is little wonder that
members of Congress refuse to
recognize party obligations that
are disregarded by the Admins
tration.
There is need, very great need,
of wholesome party discipline.
The President is wise and patri-
otto but he is a citizen, and it is
the highest duty ofthe citizen to
subordinate his Individual opin-
ions to the will of the people He
is a Democrat, and to be a Demo
'crat is to yield obedience to the
law of the party as decided in its
high court of appeal, the Nation
al Convention Of the Democratic
party.
1t is a sublime spectacle when
a master spirit throws himself IL
the breach to resist the i1npetuous
assault of the mob and breast the
storm of popular opinion, but
when, in a Republic, the enlight-
ened masses after years of patient
investigation, have reached a con-
cluslon and chosen agents for the
execution OF their will, it is little
short of moral treason for those
agents to go counter to their
wishes and make shipwreck of
their hopes
The President and the Con-
gress were elected upon clearly
defined principles and conditions.
The Chicago platform was not
constructed on shifting sand. 1t
stands on the solid rock of Dem
ocracy, and neither Congress nor
the President has right to ignore
a single line of the sacred instru-
ment.
1t is a sad condition of affairs
when Democrat becomes an OBJ
structionist in Democratic Ad-
1ninistration.
The ocean is insignificant in
its separate drops, but when its
pillows are blended navies are
stranded, and man, majestic and
imperious man, is as a straw in a
Whirlwind. So it i, with parties.
In their separate component
parts they are powerless, but in
their united strength they are
omnipotent.-New Berne Jour
nal.
