The Charlotte Gazette, referring TO the
nomination of Eggleston for the Senate
from that district and Darlington for
the House from the county, says that
now is the time for all Democrats TO
drop all personal feeling, forget the en-
mites caused by the canvass for the
nomination, and determine to work and
vote for the nominees. Majority rule, it
adds. is the only rule known to Democ-
racy, and when the will of the majority
is made known. good citizenship de-
mands acquiescence. That's good poll
tics and sound Democratic doctrine.

dignity will permit him 10 accept toe

When Love Was Young.

1t was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast;
1t was the time OF roses,
We pluckd them as We pass'd.
That ohurlish season never frown'd
On early lovers yet,
Oh nO-the world was newly crown'd
With flowers when We first met
Twas twilight, and I babe you go,
But still you held me fast;
1t was the time of roses,
We pluckd them as we pass'd.
What else could peer thy glowing cheek
That tears began TO stud?
And when / asked the like of Love.
You snatch'd a damask bud;
And oped il to the dainty core,
Still glowing TO the last
IT was the time of roses,
We pluckd them as we passd.

The New York Journal of Commerce
Joins the ranks Of the papers at the
North that are contributing ammunition
for the fight against the rob-
berry feature OF the pension sys-
TEN. Annually. says the Jour
nal Of Commerce, the prediction is made
that the highest point in pension pay
ments has been reached, and that the
number Of pensioners and the amount
of pensions is about TO begin its decline
The maximum point may have been
reached adds our contemporary bat
the decline is not constant. and in the
last fiscal year, thirty-two years after the
close Of the civil war, the number Of
pensions reached, we believe, its highest
mark. and the amount of money paid
out was million and a half dollars
greater than in the preceding year, and
almost identical with the amount dis
bursed in 1894 and 1895.
Keep up the agitation. say we, until
the jobbery and the robbery Of the sys-
TEN shall have attracted the serious at
tention of the taxpayers throughout the
length and breadth of the land.

An Interesting Experiment Tried at
Des MOines.

WASHINGTON, August ia report
from Des Moines tells of the experiment
Of collecting mail in letter-boxes attached
to the street-cars.
The cars in Des Moines all run past
the post office. They stop at all places
to receive mail matter, and as they come
by the post-offce a carrier takes the
mail from the boxes. During July there
were collected by this means 29,2S7 let
tiers, 6,059 cards and AL pieces Of second
third and fourth-class mail matter This
is an increase of 1900 pieces over June,
and the postmaster thinks that the total
would have been largely increased had
all the cars Carried these letter-boxes.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The postoffice department has decided
to change the 2-cent stamps from car
mine to green, to correspond with the
color on the stamped envelopes.
President Mckinley has returned to
Washington, and it is expected that the
Cuban question will engage his imme-
date attention. The presidential policy
is expected to be the very opposite of
active Intervention.
The state department is informed that
the standard 24-foot United States en-
sign, which went down with the VAN
dalia when that war vessel was wrecked
at Apia, Samoa, has been recovered and
presented to the United States consul g
office at Apia.
It is stated that S. N. D. North of
Boston has been selected as superinten-
dent of the next census, and that his
appointment will be made as soon as
the necessary legislation can be enacted.
The president is said to favor the es-
tablishment of a permanent bureau of
census, and is likely to express some
views on that subject in his next mes
sage to Congress.
The documented merchant marine Of
the United States in June last mum ber-
ed 22.633 vessels of 4, 769, 02O gross tons,
an increase of IS, 400 tons over 1896,
and a decrease of 275 vessels. The ton
mage of the Atlantic and gulf coasts is
2,647 ,796, decrease of 20, 900 tons. The
tonnage of the great lakes is l.410, 103
tons, an increase of $4,000 tons. The
Pacific coast tonnage was practically
stationary.

LIFE IN THE POLAR SEAS.
Plenty Of Bears, Birds and Narwhass
Millions Of Fiddlers and F1eas.

Plenty Of Bears, Birds and Narwhass
Millions of Fiddlers and F1eas.
1t is evident. according to Nansen,
that the waters Of the polar seas are far
from being deserted by living creatures
Wherever the sea is open or partially so
seals, narwhals and birds abound, and
on the heaps Of ice near the edge of the
water the bears are numerous. Under
the ice marine animals are not wanting.
The explorers found in abundance little !,
crustaceans. whose discovery was the
result Of an accident.
One day the cook sunk q piece of =
meat in a hole which he had cut In the.
ice with view Of thawing it out. That.
Is a method often resortod to for the,
purpose of sparing the fuel. Forty eight
hours afterward, while taking out the,
meat, the cook was astonished to findl
an immense number of little animalss
that dropped upon the surface of the ice.
and commenced to jump about likes
deas. Nanssn, who Is a professor Of.
zoology. had no trouble in recognizing,
those little orustaceans. which may bes
seen jumping in the sand, and which,
are called sand feas He was delighted
at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourishment.
A few months later on, when in IS
or 80 degrees north latitude, in Octo-
ber-that is to say, at the beginning Of
the long winter night-he fished up in a
little net with close meshes quantity
OF little crustaceans. This proves that
life Is by no means suspended under the
ice; on the contrary, it is very active.
In the mud of the bottom. where the
water is shallow, there are numerous
starfish, mollusks, worms. sponges and
several species of crustacea. journal

is rumored that their inspection of the
property is to be followed by the trans
fer of the road by the Santa Fe to the
Southern Pacific company. The Sonora
railway has been traded by the Santa
Fe for the line between Mojave and the
Needles, belonging to the Southern
Pacific, hut operated for many years by
the Santa Fe under lease and contract
of purchase, but formal transfer has
not yet been made.
The strong attraction of the Yuma
penitentiary for the citizens of Arizona
may be due in part to the opportunities
afforded for acquiring an entirely new
and improved variety of jag. 1t is re-
ported that the prisoners smoke mara
guiana, kind of weed found in South
ern Arizona, which seems to combine
the delectable qualities of opium and
whisky. The effect of using maraguana
is said to be ''hilarious intoxication.
The will of DIR. Edgar, a pioneer of
Southern California, who died recently,
contains the following requests to local
institutions: Historical society OF
Southern California, $500; Roman
Catholic Orphans Home of Los Angeles,
$3.50; Protestant Orphans Home, $3.50
Ladies' Benevolent society, $500; COM
missioners of the Soldiers Home near
Washington. D. c., $4,000; board Of fire
commissioners of Los Angeles, for the
benefit of the firemen, $500. He also
bequeathes $500 each to the public Ii
braries of Los Angeles and San Bernar-
dino.
Notice of intention to build and arti.
cfes of incorporation of the Prescott
and Eastern railroad have been filed
with the Arizona territorial secretary.
The new road which has already been
surveyed, is to run from near Prescott
to Big Bug, distance of about thirty
miles. The road will be feeder of the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, and
the incorporators are among the stock
holders of the main road, comprising
