A. King vs. William A. King yesterday the
action arising over the husband seeking the
custody of a child in the care of the woman

municipal court charged with trying to steal
away the child Henry Leinderbach, father
Of the woman, and her two brothers testified

Hopes for Early Pardon.

Harvey Porter, the youthful highwayman,
was taken to Saltwater yesterday to begin
serving his term of six years. Although
somewhat respondent at receiving so heavy
a sentence he feels that perhaps he will be
more likely to receive a pardon, in view of
his circumstances, than he would have re-
ceived with his reformatory sentence.

the history Of their own state 1t Is
from the preface to the tenth volume
of the Colonial Records: "A very bril-
liant campaign under Colonel Moore of
near a months duration ensued. that
eliminated in the battle OF Moore's
Greek on the eth of February, 1776.
The troops that took part in the cam
paign were drawn from above Green's
boro to the westward. and from be-
low New Bern to the east, points some
200 miles apart. There were mounted
men, infantry. and artillery engaged
in the campaign. The immediate field
Of operation was from Fayetteville to
Moore's creek bridge, some sixty miles
up and down the Cape Fear. Our
troops actually engaged in battle num-
bered abou 1000. The enemy were
v~ariously reported to be from $500 to
5000 in number" Quoting from Ban
croft, he proceeds: More than 9,400
men of North Carolina rose against the
enemy, and the coming Clinton inspir-
ed no terror. North Carolina had men
enough Of her own to crush the insur-
rectiOn and guard against invasion,
and as they marched Over their piney
forests they were persuaded that in
their own woods they could win an
easy victory over the British Regu-'
lars" And again he says: 1T is won
derful to think Of, scarcely credible to
us Of the present day, who have seen
something Of war and the difficulties
in the way Of successful combination,
even with d facilities and under
the most favorable circumstances
And all this was done full four months
before the Philadelphia declaration.

borders came to her help"

same Naval "Reminiscences

The conclusion of the naval m~anoeuvrea
in a iasco-as seems to be the usual
practice of naval manoevres. reminds me
of a somewhat amusing occurrence that
happened on a previous occasion of the
same kind in Bantry bay. The inhabi-
tants had come out as usual to the feet
with boats full OF various kinds OF farm
produce. One old lady had for offer some
two dozen chickens, all ready plucked
and trussed, at the extremely reasonable
figure Of n shilling each. Jack was on at
once to this soft thing" and the chick
ems. which looked fat and in prime con-
dition, were purchased. They made their
appearance before an expectant mess
next day. But at the first mouthful a
howl went up. The chickens" were. In
fact, not chickens, but sea-gulls of the
most ~pronouncedly fishy taste. The old
lady's guileless appearance has been as
big a fraud as her birds.
At the same manoeuvres an old Irish
woman scrutinized for some time a large
and not particularly MISUNDERSTANDING
battleship. And how ould may that be?'
she asked at last. A seaman told her that
the vessel was three years old. "Only
three!" said the woman in SURPRISE, be

and ends with love. He writes 'for-
bearing M another in love" in the
second and closes with ~"edifying itself

larges upon h means of growth in
spiritual life, recommending certain
virtues, enlarges upon the advantages

Almighty to grant that We may all

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY.

There are many thoughtless, irrev-
erent, bad hammered people in this
world we live in. There are men who
do not fear or honor God, have no re-
spect for religion, and very little re-
spect for its votaries. They will sneer
in derision at the beliefs Of intelligent,
well behaved, sincere people about
them, make game Of professions Of
faith in Christ, and laugh at religious
REVEALS and mock those engaged in
them. It is a good way to walk Gin
the old paths"-the paths "our fathers
trod." Traditional faith is not to be
laughed out of countenance by god
less defamers. AS some papers said,
b man who does this is like the fool
who saws off the branch upon which
he is standing. It is a blessed thing
to know the ruth and pursue ito

saving faith and holy living. Says The
Presbyterian Observer, of New York
city:
"Christianity, like every other good
thing in the world, has roots. And
men would do wisely to prefer rooted
plants to those of which some one says,
They will root!!' Every man who today
accepts christianity advertises the fact
of a wise Difference on his part to test
ed truths which have stood the ordeal
OF nearly a score of centuries. It is no
mark OF weakness to be wise with the
wisdom Of the past. Faith is all the
more ~prescious when seen to be ances-

the reduplicated arguments Of a long
line of christian examples, and speaks
p~leadingly, as with the voice Of pa

In ENGLAND the author most talked
of and written about is Rudyard Kip
ling. He is the theme of the day. For
some years his fame has been steadily
growing. He has, however, added much
to it by his more sober and even reG-
giously imbued poems. He has also
attached to himself the applause Of his
.countrymen by his recent poems in eel
>ebration of England's prowess among
the nations and what is necessary to
guard and protect it. The London
Saturday Review for more than forty
years has been a force in letters. 1t
lately said this of Kipling:
esThere is one name in literature
which from the special point of view
OF the growth of the imperial idea
Knight have we'll received recognition
We mean Mr.. Rudyard Kipling. There
is no question that it is he who has
chiefly implanted in English minds the
ide of the vast federal empire around
the globe, the central idea which had
made this jubilee different from any
thing ever witnessed before. In this
sense Kipling is greater than Wolse-
ley, greater than Roberts, greater than
both combined"
This was said in connection with con-
Terring the Knighthood upon the ro-
bust genius. But don't. We have al
ways regretted that Alfred Tennyson,
the most euphonious name in the galaxy
OF English poets, and one of the great
est after the greatest two, ever agreed
to be made a Peer of the Realm. No
title conferred by earthly power could
possibly add to the greatness or fame
OF one so royalty endowed by God who
made him. How great is Gladstone,
