Salisbury SUM-

The Sun informed its readers last
week Of the arrival Of two statues at the
Catholic church of this city. Easter Sun
day evening they were unveiled and
blessed by the pastor. The statues were
procured from the firm Of Blaise Aient
& Company, of Paris. who in recent years
have filled many orders for the Pope, to
be, used in the Vatican. The pictures,
especially that representing the assump-
ton Of the Ri. Virgin Mary into heaven.
are works of the most superb art. The
grace Of figure, elegance of drapery,
chasteness and harmony Of color scheme
are absolutely perfect, while the face or
Mary bears an impression Of ecstacy,
Qualification and heavenly joy, that can
not be described.
The ceremony of their dedication was
beautiful in its simplicity and propriety.
The children of the Sunday school en-
tered the church forming a procession:
the girls dressed in white, bearing flow
ers in boqlets and wreaths, they boys
lighted tapers. Arrived before the shrine,
the priest removed the veil, that till then
concealed the statue, the choir bursting
forth at that instant into the joyous notes
of the Regina Caeli:"
o, Queen Of heaven, rejoice, Alleluia!
For He whom thou didst bear, Allelulia
Is risen as He said, Allelnia!
Pray for us to God! Alleluia.

Under a summer sky,
When the hours went slow and the bees

And the winds went whispering by,
For we were young and happy,
Nothing OF life knew we;
And what more sweet than with careless

To wander in Already?
To-day in a book forgotten
| found rose you had kissed.
Do you remember the moonlight
The path to the lovers trystep,
And do you sometimes, l wonder,
Think of the past and me
And wish some day we could steal away
And wander in Already?
All, no, it's a foolish fancy,
The dream is dreamed and over,
And you have forgotten the dear dead
days
When I was your loyal lover;
For we were two weary worldlings,
Seldom from care set free,
And never again can we find the path
That leads through Already!

INSTANCE OF
MEMORY.
Congressman Linney Relates an Instance
Of an Illiterate Clients Recollection.
(C0r Statasyille Iandmark)

(Cor. Statesville Landmark.)
You probably recollect that l once
called your attention to case of remark
able memory shown by old man Micajah
Guthrie. TO be accurate about it my
self, being at leisure to-day here, went
to the court house, and l there find that
at Februapry term, 1886, the cause Of
Henry Setter versus Micajah Guthrie
was tried before MacRae, judge. The
late lamented Major Bingham and my
self appeared for the defendant, and
Messrs. Robbins and Long for the plain
tiff, Setter. The defendant relied at the
trial upon an old grant from the State
to Alexander Mckay, which issued In
1870. The grant is recorded in an old
book now In the register of deeds office,
being book a." p. 1876. 1t is not on the
general index. 1t consists of 30 lines and
the consideration is ten pounds for every
hundred acres hereby granted. Not be-
ing able to find the grant from the gen
eral index, the old gentleman, Micajah
Guthrie, assured me that it was on
record; that it had been read to him by
the old register, w. ID. Summers, thirteen
years before that date. Mr.. Summers
denied that he had ever seen the grant
or ever heard of it before. The old man
could not write or read. l spoke rather
roughly to him for misleading me about
the grant. Don't abuse me-" said he;
II know l saw it and that Mr.. Summers
read it to ME over thirteen years ago. 1
have" he continued, " clear recollection
of the appearance of both of the book in
which it is registered and of the recorded
deed" He then stepped to a stack Of
old books in the office and requested me
to look at each book with him. This
did. On coming to q certain book he
said: "There it is in that book, and if
you will turn over by leaf l VIII know
it from it's appearance over thirteen years
ago" / did so, and on reaching the deed
at page 396 he said: ''There is the yellow
stain | saw when Summers read it." 1t
proved to be the grant. | went into the
court room with the grant, tried the
cause with the assistance of my brother,
Major Bingham, and won it, of course.
l have often thought of two things
in connection with this law suit. 1t is
not only one of the most rema rka BILE in
| stances of memory possessed by an litter
ate, but it teaches all members of the
legal profession to always be patient and
respectful to client. however ignorant. in
his statement of the facts in his cause.
