NEW GATLING GUN.
battery B, of Minneapolis, to Have
One Soon.

One soon.
Battery b, of Minneapolis, is to have
a new Gatling gun and will be able to
give vacations to the ancient brass six
FOUNDERS which it has tOted around to
encampments and Decoration day SER
vices for many years. The gun was
shipped from the Rock Island arsenal
Friday, and as soon as he received the
telegram, Gen. Muehlberg hurried over
to Minneapolis to notify Capt Bennett.
This Gatling gun is the first bit of real
ly new and modern martial equipment
that the department has received, eX-
eept the single Krag- -JOrgensen rifle,
which stands in a corner of the military
storekeeper's den at the capitol. This
was shelVed because the warriors Of
the militia could not hit the target with
It, let alone the bulls eye, and it is pos
sible that Battery B will need two or
three seasons to get into practice on
the new field piece.

Judge Willis yesterday partly heard and con-
tinued until Monday two motions in the suit
of the Sturtevant- -Larrabee company against
the Mast, Buford & Burwell company. The
plaintiff moved for permission to amend it's
complaint, so to allege the liability of the
stockholders of the defendant company, it
being contended that they are liable because
of the fact that they permitted the indebted
ness of the company to exceed the limit fixed
by the articles of Incorporation. The other
motion was by the Waterloo Wagon company
an intervening creditor, for permission to file
an additional complaint.

THE CHEAPEST ON RECORD.
Rehobeth, N. c.

According to the expense accounts
filed in this county, it was mighty
cheap election. Most OF the candidates
expended nothing" in behalf of their
election, either directly or indirectly.
There were a great many barbecues,
chicken roasts and such like, with bar
,Eels OF liquor at each, but it all didn't
cost anything. A great many voters had
money just after the election that didn't
have it before. ii is VIGOROUSLY reported
around that as high as SO were paid
per head in some cases. All Of this cost
nothing. We simply mention this to
show that this law Of filing election ac-
counts is dead letter, a useless encum-
brancc, which shows no light upon the
actual election expenses, FOR the reason
that any candidate can so arrange that
lis expenses. directly or indirectly, are
trutbfuIly nothing The tendency Of
the law is 10 encourage fraudulent state
ments, as ell such laws do,-Wilkesboro

HER FACE.
BESSIE Chandler, in the Advance.

Bessie Chandler, in the Advance.
Scant beauty nature gave her; in dis
guise
Rugged and harsh she babe her go
about
With face unlovely, save the dark sad
eyes,
From which her fearless soul looked
bravcly out.
But life took up the chisel, used her face
Roughly with many blows, as sculptors
use a block,
1t wrought little while and lo grace
Fell as n sunbeam falls upon rock
Across her soul a heavy sorrow swept,
AS tidal waves sweep sometimes DER
the land,
Leaving her face, when back it ebbed-
and crept,
Tranquil and purified, like tidewashcd
sand
And of her face her gentIeness grew part,
And all her holy thoughts left there her
trace,
A great love found its way within her
heart,
It's root was there, its blossoms in her
face.
So when death came to set the sweet soul
free
From the poor body that was never
fair,
We watched her face and marvelled
much TO see
How life had carved for death an an
gel there.

And they seem dead stuck. on me.

And the world seems good and glad;
In a week or two, I'll bet, I'll weigh
About as much as dad q.
And he hoped from his perch and he.

And he put on a lot Of airs,
And he fiercely gobbled and praneed

Nor thought of worldly cares.

And thinks himself so fine,

Lightly passes by.

THE BATTLE is OVER.
(PalE Mall Gazette.)

There is warfare in the garden and the
many are outmatched
In the struggle of the millions aud the
one;
For the bitter wind is blowing and the
yellow leaves are going
And the armies of the summer turn
and rUu.
Here they come, flying legion, round
the corner down the path,
While they seek in vain shelter from
the foe,
BY his furious onslaught scatter, clad
in russell, torn and battered,
Lost and ruined in the summers over
throw.
Time was when they were allies in the
April afternoon,
When the winter and The SHOWS were
at an end;
For he touched the earth so lightly tfae
they issued green and sprightly,
And they hailed him for their cham
pion and their friend.
Then they loved him in the summer and
he kissed them as he passed,
When the uniforms they wore we're
fresh and green,
And they trusted in him blindiy faI hey
thought his voice was kindly
As he whispered through the coppice
or the dene.
But they found his rough advances On
the gray September morn
Very different from his genial breath
in June,
For when the year grew older his friend
ship it grew colder,
And he threatened and he pipcd d war
like tune.
SO they fought him and be beat therny
and the garden paths to-day
Tell a sorry tale of ruin and defeat,
For the cruel wind is roaring and before
him, whirling, soaring,
Go the little weary soldiers In retreat.
