words, that act made the old bonds
tundable IN new 4 per cent. bonds at

value is 50 1876. The question il, how
came the bonds in tine Treasury, and so
whom do they belong. 1t is not be-
lleVed that they are the property of
the State, because if they were they
would have been accounted for. The
Treasurer informed the Governor and
Council Of State Of his discover and
and asked whether he should fund
them and put the proceeds in the
Treasury or turn them over to the Gen
eral Assembly. The Council Of State
recommended that the Treasurer report
the mater to the General Assembly,
and this will be done.-R Aleigh Post.
J. J. Jenkins, Eq, late tus.0uiat
candidate for Congress in the Fourth
district, was here with MA brother, Mr.
William Jenkins, Of Portland, Oregon,
several days this week. There is q touch
OF romance in the career OF these two
men which vail interest your readers.
Their father vas killed in toe battle Of
Malvern Hill, leaving two little boyg,
alone in the world, but for an aged
grandfather. An old homestead in
North Carolina that had been 10 the
family one hundred and f.gy years
vas ell shat was left OF g good estate.
By hard work Joseph J jenkins
secured q good education aud gTaJu-
ated at the U1IveEeity Of North Caro-
lima with honor, The older brother
went West and with the first rumor of
the gold fields Of Alaska he set out for
the Ktondike. He was one of the first
to reach the spot. He was very lucky
and is now a millionaire. He endured
terrible hardehips. His wife, whom

fering and she took her small family
and as many provisions as she could
carry and went 10 him, Last Sunday
l talked to their bright son OF eight,
who had tramped over the CnilK0ot
Pass On foot. This little fellow has
over $500 in the bank which he sitted
out of the refuse rards him self. Mr.
william Jenkins returned to bis old
home in Chatham last summer, after
an absence of fifteen or eighteen years,
to visit his relatives, and especially his
brother, to whom he is warmly at
tackled. His description OF the trip to
the Ktondike and Of the trials they
underwent sounds like q fairy tale

In q recent decision (Jashion VS..
Telegraph Company tue Supreme
Court makes an important ruling as to
the evidence necessary IN suits to re-
cover damages for mental anguish,
suffered by reason of failure On part of
a telegraph company to promptly de-
liver messages SEM to relatives. The
opinion is written by Justice Douglas,
and il the course Of it he says: Men

than mere disappointment. and like
every other material alleg atom relied
by the plaintiff, must be alleged and
proved, II is true thst there are cer-
tain facts which, when provided, pro

OF love and sympathy existing botwsen
husband ana wife or parent and Child
are the common knowIedge Of the hu-
man race, as they are the hOliest in
sgincts of the human heart. 1t is use
less to tell the jurors OF tbs anguish Of

the train for the bedside Of q dying nus

life are falling fast, but uncertain of

her journeys end only to b6stow her

beyond the marriage state, this pre-

Of kindred blood, as acute IF sction

intruder into the family circle. It is
true that with him such affection may
exist, and in the present case doubtless
does exist, but it must be shown. More
