UNION NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Question of Removal to be Decided
Upon by the Directors.

Rev. DR.. F. Fl. johnson, of Elizabeth
City, passed through here yesterday
evening EN- route to Winston to join Mrs.
Johnson, who has been visiting there for
two months. The Doctor will also go to
Danvile, Va, to morrow to attend
special meeting of the directors of Union
Theological Seminary, of Hampden Sid
ney, Va, called to decide the question
whether or not the Seminary shall be
moved to Richmond, Va. The
Seminary is the property OF
the synods of North Carolina
and Virginia jointly and has been To-
Gated at Hampden Sydney for great
many years. The question of removal
has been under consi1e. alton for some
time and propositions have been made
by several cities in Virginia to induce its
removal to their midst.
The opinion now prevalent is that It
will be moved to Richmond and it s
thought that in spite of vigorous fight
on the part of the friends of the present
location, the directors at their meeting
tomorrow will send to the synOds a
strong overture in favor of removal to
Richmond. Rev. L. B. rurnbull and
Mr.. Geo. W. Watts, of this place, are
members of the board of directors and

The Cat and the Crows.

There Is some fun In a crow, even
II 1t be love OF mischief. In Cal.
cutta, India, I had a large garden
surrounded by shady trees, In whose
branches many crows used to roost
ut night. As soon AZ daylight ap.
pcared they oil few OIL to their IN.
vorite resorts, where they lived upon
the garbage OF the city, and 1t must
be admitted In their favor that they
were most useful scavengers. But
when sunset came they used to re.
turn to their roasting place, and
sometimes they gave me IN unwel.
come evening serenade.
Coming home late and tired from
Office, ] used to sit out on my lawn
and o very large white Persian cat
would como out to keep me company.
Then the cat and tho crows used to
have little game Of their own. Tho
cat would stretch itself out and Aick
its long. furry tail about. Some
twenty or thirty crows promptly nc.
copied the challenge and quickly
alighted round tho cat, with the in.
tention OF pulling his tail. Some Of
them hoped up in front, as near as
they could with safety from the cats
forepaws, others stood ut the side,
and several OF the best players took
their position behind the cat. They
evidently acted in concert. The
crows in front crept up as close as
they dared to secure the cats atten-
ton, and then one OF the crows be-
hind the cat made dash at the tail,
which the cat skillfully guarded by
flirting 1t from one side to another.
1t was very seldom that crow sue
ceeded in getting mouthful OF the
cats fur. The cat, meanwhile, had
really an eye to business, and II one
of the birds in front Of him came
within practicable distance he made
spring that sometimes had a fatal
result, and the game terminated
among the terrified cawing and clam
or of the survivors, who saw their
unlucky comrade torn to pieces be.
fore their eyes. But In the course
OF twenty-four hours they seemed to
have forgotten tho mishap Of their
brother, and they came again to re-
new their diversion with tho cat, who
was always ready to play the game,
in which it might DO said that his
motto was, "Hoads l win, tails you
lOse."

He knows no peer.

The aspirations, groans and tears

The dark and silent shrine of signs:
Deaths royal throne.

Seems that fixed track his destiny pur

Each passing day
New fields of pleasure. bowers of bliss
Brings to his eye-too soon to pass
In grief away.
Life Is but fleeting: none can lose
The dread embrace of Death.
Count well thy years
And scat the score still held for thee;
Soon must It pass.

With swifter pace draws near that day
Whose eve. alas
Thy closing eyes will never see,
Thy race is run!

quickly withdrawn. The mark was
very faint, but It was there. I as.

not penetrated to the second page

message from himself TO his brother

Sometimes the pin pricks were faint

sometimes the spelling puzzled me ;
sometimes seemed to lose the track
altogether. But I persevered, and
just as midnight struck had solved
the mystery and had written out
Jimmy Timble's ingenious message
