THE BANK STATEMENT.
The Financier Says That It Is Favorable in Several Particulars Better Than
 Indications Presaged," "

New York, May 29.-rhe New York F'inancier says this week:
 The statement of the New York clear ing house banks for the five days end ing May %, while it shows a slight in crease in the amount of idle cash lying in bank vaults, is still favorable in sev- eral particulars. The exhibit, it should be stated, does not include the total op- erations of the week, the withdrawals for Saturdays gold exports having been made after the average had been com puted. It is fair to infer, therefore, that the actual amount of cash reserve on hand at the close of business Friday was lower than indicated in the totals given and the excess correspondingly less.
 The expansion in loans was $1,756,O 900, and although this total is not as large as might have been wished, 1t probably re- fleets mercantile demands, as stock ex- change business was almost stagnant:
 The decline in money rates probaDly accounts for the expansion in part. Ihe interior receipts have been quite large during the week. The banks gained $99I,- 400 in cash, according to the statement, $914,50 of this amount being in gold and only $72,900 in legal tenders. The increase in deposits was $1 ,S32, 300, or nearly twice the reported gain in cash. The deposit total however, as was the case with the other items, does not reflect actual con QltlOnS. Iaken as WIlOle, lHe SldIS- ment is better than earlier indications presaged. The total excess reserve of the New York banks is now slightly in excess of $22, 100000, or about half the amount reported for the corresponding week last year. The total deposits are $6S, 900 less, and loans are $27 100000 lower than for the corresponding week of 1895. The banks have gained about SIP, ,00O,0 900 in gold during the present month but they still hold $15 000 900 less than on February 8, just before they be- gan to turn gold into the treasury for bonds.

and damnation came the fat key i'm his
garden?" and took his seat The peo-
pie laughed, and the Judge, seeing
no contempt OF court was I'M
tended, joined in the momentary mirth
and said not a word.
The Colonel was not oyerburdened
with natures puicritude, though he
lad face that would pass muster"
anywhere. On another occasion, at
Hartford court, he was examining q
witness, one Henry Jones, who
wouldn't tell it as the Colonel wanted
it told. so he sought to weaken the
force Of his testimony TO the jury, and
looking him straight in the face, said:
"Now Mr.. Jones, don't you think you
are a beautiful mana very pretty man,
to come into this court, and tell TO this
Jury such a tale as you have tOld?
Jones replied, Col Outlaw, you have
asked me a question, and I'm going 10
answer it. My old father is dead and
gone, and these people in the court
house here, llnowed he was a truthful
man, and wouldn't tell lie. One day
/ was playing out in the yard, and
father said to me: Henry, d-n me, if
you and Davy Outlaw amt the two
ugliest folks that the Lord ever made.
From that day to this, Colonel, I've
never thought ! was a pretty man."
The court and the bar enjoyed this
witty reply, and the Colonel only said,
you can stand aside"
Colonel Ont law was not a MON 'bnrv pf
any church, but was partial to and at
tended the Episcopal church, as his
wife and children were members of
that denomination. He was fond of
his home and it's surroundings, and his
happiest moments were those enjoyed
around the circle of the family fireside.
The death of his wife, which occurred
in October, 1859, was an affection from
the shock of which he never re-
covered. He died in Windsor, N. c., on
the 22d day of October, 1868, and was
buried in the Episcopal churchyard of
that town.
Within the silent tomb repOse all
that remains Of one who was true to his
fellow man and was faithful to every
trust or obligation, imposed OF ac
cepted: who loved his neighbor, and
ministered unto the poor; who feared
to do evil, and strove to do well, and
who so lived that his life was rendered
an example worthy to be followed He

mans highest destiny on earth, i'm
leaving a name untarnished. and a rep
utation without stain or a blemish.--

CONTRIBUTIONS TO n. CAROLINA HISTORY,
SHORT SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND PUBLIC CAREER OF
COLONEL DAVID OUTLAW
ex PULASKI cowPER.

George Edmund Badger Singeltary, Of
Pitt county.
In 1919, he was nominated for Con-
gress against Colonel Outlaw. AS a
boy, quite " in my teens,'' / now recall
their soiourn through my native town
to one of the speaking places--the
General in his fine open carriage, with
a span of stylish blacks, and driver, and
the colonel modestly following, but a
little distance behind, in his high stick
sulky, and little short-tail bay; ''but
he got there all the same" The gen
eral was a worker and had great per-
sonaI magnetism, but the old war
horse Of Eastern Whigism was too
much for him. Distant from his pro-
CHEN amy, Lockhart, and confronted
by his competitors political expert
ence. wisdom and sagacity, the Colonel
was an irritating thorn in his side
throughout the canvass. He would
frequently, while the General was
speaking, correct him here and there,
thus breaking the effect of his argu-
ment, and in his reply, as the saying
goes, would make the fur fly" In
fact it was a misfortune that General
Person, who was a man Of decided
parts. limited as his political expert
ence and information at that time was,
should have engaged in a contest with
man gifted and informed as Colonel
Outlaw was conceded to be. This con-
test seemed, in a measure, to abate the
Generals ardor and ambition, for
though he made good and active can
vass, he aspired after this to no higher
place than a seat in the General Assem-
bIv. but confined himself afterwards,
almost exclusively, to his vast agricul-
tural pursuits, in which, up to the be-
ginning of the war, he was quite sue
cessful.
In 1851, Colonel Outlaw defeated the
late Colonel William Il. Martin, of
Elizabeth City, who was voted for gen
orally throughout the district, though
he was not regularly nominated can
didate.
In 1853, he was defeated for Congress
by the late DIR. Henry M. Shaw, of Cur

rituck county, by majority Of eighty
seven votes. DIR. Shaw was a fine and
attractive speaker, and was member
of the Legislature of 1852 in which he
took a high stand, and made quite a
reputation in defending his right to his
contested seat. The late Mr.. John
GRAY Bynum, Gather of ex-Judge John
GRAY Bvnum), a man of broad intellect,
had made a powerful and telling speech
against him. DR.. Shaw, in his maiden
speech in reply, and the only one he
made during his membership, was spe-
cialIy effective and convincing, and se-
cured for himself at once reputation
as an orator and debater.' The Senate
voted that he should retain his seat.
In 1855, Dr. Shaw was defeated by
Colonel Robert Treat Paine, a Colonel
In the Mexican war, Of Edenton, N c.,
by three hundred and forty-six votes.
Colonel Paine was the exponent and
standard bearer of the Know Nothing
party, and he was very severe on the
Irish, and the Catholic church and
creed. He spoke in the old court house
at Jackson to a crowded house. lmme-
diately on concluding his speech DR..
Shaw not being presently, loud calls
were made for Edward Conigiand,
then a young member Of the Halifax
bar, who promptly responded. 1t was
the first political speech he had ever
made, and was replete with eloquence,
diction and finish. He took everybody
by surprise, and decidedly outwitted
and oyermatched his adversary, Colonel
Paine. He commenced his speech, say
ing: "Fellow-citizens, / am an irish
man and Catholic. The love for my
native land, and the adherence to my
creed, was instilled in me at my moth
er's knee, and / have grown to man
hood in its firm faith and devotion" In
reference to the restriction of, and
prejudice sought to be made by the
Know Nothing party against the Irish
race, he said: Many years ago there
emigrated to South Carolina q good
Irish man and a good Irish woman,
husband and wife; the son Of these
two good people, born on Carolina soil,
was John Caldwell Calhoun, whose
name is a household word, and whose
memory is reyered throughout our en-
tire land"
In the midst of his speech, he said:
"The Catholic doctrines have been my
study from my boyhood until now,
and j should know something about
them, and upon this subject of Catho-
locism ! am ready to meet any man in
it's defense" At this iuncture, the late
Mr. Henry X. Burgwyn, a High Epis-
copa1ian, and man of thought and
letters, arose and said: Il will meet
the gentleman at any time and place
he may name" Mr.. Conigland eX-
pressed surprise that che should be in
corrupted and thrown off his guard by
this so-much-needed adjunct of Colonel
Paine" as he styled him, and while
Colonel Paine was there in person TO
reply, and throwing some hot-shot into
Mr.. Burgwyn, was much cheered by his
Democratic friends. OF the few now
living, who heard this memorable dis
cussion / recall ex-Attorney General
Bachelor, now a prominent member
of the Raleigh bar, and Mr. William w.
PEBBLES likewise prominent member
Of the Northampton bar.

In the 90 years that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have been sold, hundreds of thou
sands of people have taken them, and have
been cured by them. There is no longer
any possible question of their efficacy.
They are the product Of experience, tired
by time. They are intended to cure con-
stipation. They are good for men, wo-
men and children. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, very easy to take, very
quick in their action. One " Pellet " is
gentle laxative, two Pellets mild
cathartic. A great many people make
the mistake of sandbagging their di-
gestiye organs. They take some strong
and violent medicine, which creates
worse troubles than it cures. Strong
purgatiyes shock the system unnecessar-
ily and they do not cure constipation.
Constipation is a thing that makes peo-
pie listless and langlid; makes their
breath bad; wakes them up with foul
taste in their mouths; puts black spots
before their eyes; makes them dizzy
causes headache; makes them bilious ;
produces pimples and blotches-runs into
all sorts Of serious consequences, All this
