a little ocean was carried to the sea the
| fruits of the new industry that has since
given the sons of the State the sobriquet
Of "Tar Heels" and on these wharYes
were taken in exchange brick and mate
rails for our finer class of houses, manu-
| featured articles for our clothing and
rum and wine for our holiday festivities,
for it must not be forgotten that North
Carolina, as well as her sister colonies,
was then IL her gala days.
Beneath and not far away lay the
town of Newbern, nestled amid it's grand
old trees, glowing in autumnal tints-a
scene beyond painters conception. At
this season the maple and the ash would
be glowing with purple and gold. The
myrtle, too, loved this shore,
and the red berries would be
peeping through the bright green
foliage of the holly, while the dark
green pines were ever there, waving
their tops and signing in the gentle
winds. The fit and song of the tuneful
tenants of the field, gave life to the
peaceful, sylvan scene. Imagine long,
stately row Of cypress trees towering
above snowy belt of sand, and back of
them, cedars dance, green, shading the
grass, reaching from the sand up slope
fifty or sixty feet, and back to a foot
path skirting the enclosed fields they
checked off with rows of cedars-and
you have some idea of the environs of
Tryon Palace in We olden time
The regal pomp and splendor, as well
as the royal Palace, was short lived, for
in six years the Revolution came on, and
there were no more royal Governors. In
1889, just nineteen years after its com
pletion, it was much out Of re-
pair, and the only use to which
this handsome and splendidly
furnished edifice was applied was for
school purposes. In 1895 the Legislature
of North Carolina gave permanent con-
sent for it to be used as the buildings
for Newbern academy. Rev. Thos. P.
Irwin was principal and lived in the upper
part while he kept wood and hay in
some of the lower parts. A year or two
later as might have been expected it was
burned through the carelessness of
servant. Only the right wing and the
brick foundation remain to this COM
paratively early day. This remnant of
the palace was used as stable for Gen.
Washington's horses when he visited the
town few years before the palace w
burned; since, it has been storage house
for hay, grain and tramps. During the
late war the United States troops at
tempted to pull it down as they did so
many other buildings in the South but
gave it up.
So that now it is private property and
will soon be fitted up for residence by
Mr.. James Duffy.
Incomplete is my story of this inter
esting place because of the extreme diff
Guilty of obtaining reliable facts of its
history. But feeble as know the
story must appear it is hoped that 1t
may have the good fortune to stimulate
some of our more able men to give it
some study.
The early destruction and the reckless
treatment of this costly building is in
direct contradiction to the old adage:
Where your money is there your heart
will be-" What a pity that it was not
preserved But such is the history Of
mankind. MISS LEAH D. JONES.

PARIS GARTER SHOW.
Stocking Ties of Women Famous in
History and for Beauty.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-An exceedingly in
teresting collection was shown at a we'll
known establishment on the Boulevard
Madelaine, recently, which attracted
crowds during the entire day and even
ing. 1t was display of carriers belong
ing to historical ladies, and it was inter
esting for several reasons, the evidence
of lavish expenditure, the ingenuity In
devising decorative features for the lit
tie and the unmistakable proof given OF
the size of famous limbs, or limbs that
shared fame with their owners.
The gem of the collections was
a pair of duly authenticated elastics be-
longing at one time to Mary, Queen of
Scots. The articles were of faded red,
clasped with a silver buckle of eutruscan
design, somewhat the worse for wear.
The owner of the collection added to the
realism of the display by fitting the carriers
to artificial limbs of wax, which, meas
ured by the capacity of the garter, were
supposed to be as nearly to the size Of the
original as guess work and some calcula-
ton could make them. Upon this basis
the Scottish queen possessed limbs Of de
cidedly creditable proportions.
A pair of almost incredible scope were
credited to Nell Gwynne, and showed
that young lady to have been particular
ly sturdy. This pair was made Of white
sheepskins adorned with red roses
stamped in gold and having gold clasps.
A pair of faded blue silks, once worn by
the Princess of Wales, indicate painful
slenderness as the inheritance of that
estimable lady.
A pair made of rose hued satin sewed
with seed pearls, belonged to Sarah
Bernhardt, and from the dummy limb
associated with them suggests that the
attenuosity of the divine Sarah is
rather more an advertising than a
physical fact. On this pair is display
ed the warning, "Prenez Garde," work
ed in silk floss. A curious figure IN
the collection was a life size reproduction
in wax of the French Marveileuse, those
dashing Pa isians who paraded the gar
dens and streets attired in transparent

That Tired Feeling

Is common complaint and it is dan
gerous symptom. 1t means that the sys-
tenn is debilitated because OF impure
blood, and in this condition it is espe-
cially liable to attacks of disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the remedy for this con
dition, and also for that weakness which
prevails at the change of season, climate
or life.

robes often slashed up the sides so as to
show the linen and gorgeous stockings
that were then fashionable. The carriers
on this figure were of rose colored satin
with long 5treamers of parti-colored rib
bons attached and diamond clasps of
considerable value. On these carriers is
the following verse, embroidered:
Make your petticoats short
That hoop eight yards wide
May decently show
How your carriers are tied.
A single garter of black silk elastic
with swallow shaped clasp belonged to
Taglioni, and card attached to it gives
a very pretty romance. An Italian no
bleman falling in love with the owner
sent her a proposal, with the concluding
remark: eff you accept, give the bearer
one of your garters."
She accepted, the pretty article was
sent and now it is on exhibition. a pair
of bright, blue silk, in one piece without
clasps, belonged to the famous can-can
dancer, La Goulue, with this in French:
Around the silken knees of ladies fair
4 fairy band is placed to keep their stock
ings there,
Lest transient glimpses of ivory skin
Should let bold thoughts of Cupid in.

NEwBERN, n. O., Aug. 16.
This handsome and expensive public
building is known to-day only as pie
of decaying and crumbling brick anu
timber, and the youth of the historic
town of Newbern climb trees and cut
bow sticks in the growth that covers
these ruins without so much as knowing
that there was once the only palace in
North Carolina Magnificent as was this
colonial structure it was soon to fall into
decay and almost oblivion.
Sure it is that the people of the prov
ince were not in favor OF building so ele-
CANT home for their governor; for the
legislature was with the greatest diff
Guilty moved to pass the bills necessary
for its erection. Policy, perseverance
and covert threats, with the assistance
of lady Tryon and the unusual and pow
erful attractions of her sister, Miss Esther
Wake, at dinner and "church party
finally succeeded in securing, from a
people scarcely able to meet the ordinary
expense Of government, the sum of fif-
teen thousand pounds.
The heavy and almost intolerable tax
alton involved in this caused the people at
large to look upon the Royal Palace
rather as an unjust burden than as a
monument of love and pride to their
chief executor. Many of the political
leaders of that day claimed that all the
existing evils in the colony were caused
