The Immortal Commander OF the Confed
crate Navy.

The name of the most
figure looming up against the dark
background Of our Civil war-one who
ranks with Lee, Jackson and Forrest.
is rarely mentioned in our public
pr~ints--strange to say. 1t is the i'm
mortal name Of Raphael j. Semmes.
the Wizard of the Wind. the Saladin

Raphael Semmcs overshadows Nelson

Lord Nelson had every article and in

An Umbrella Decision.

The law as to umbrellas was settled
nee fer Ell 81 lord CoicriGgc in a
leading English case. His lordship
held:
Umbrellas, properly considered,
are a part of the atmospheric or metc-
geological condition, ana, as such,
there can be no Individual property
right in them. In Sampson ys.
Thompson defendant was charged with
sta"ding on plaintiffs front steps du-
ring a storm and thereby soaking up a
large quantity of rain to which plain
tiff was entitled. But the court held
that the rain was any mans rain, no
matter where itfell. 1t follows. there
fore, that the umbrella is any mans
umbrella. In all ages rain and UNI
brollA have gone tagether, and there
is no reason why they should be sep
aratcd in law. An umbrella may,
under certain circumstnnccs-the
chief of which is posscssion-takc on
the attributes of personal property.
just as if Il man set u tub and catch
a quantity of rain water, that rain
water will be considered as his person
al belonging while it is in his tub.
But if the sun evaporatc the water
and it is rained down again, or if the
tub be upset and the water spilled,
then the attribute of personal owner
ship instantly disappear. So if a
man hold his umbrella in his hand il
may be considered u personal belong
ing, but the moment it leaves his hand
it returns to the great general, indivis-
IDLE common stock of umbrellas, with
err the law will not attempt to pursue
it,
So far as we know there has never
been Il successful appeal from this de-
cision.-fHirnyo N~mx.

1viuiy ne Rode and Well.

Sitting quietly in the background
at the old soldiers meeting here last
Saturday, looking as quiet and timid
as a man who had never witnessed a
more excited scene than a chicken
dispute in his W back yard, was Mr..
M. X. Finley. veteran, Of this county,
but lately a member of Company G.,
LIST North Carolina Cavalry.
With all his quiet demeanor and his
timidity, a closer inspection of this
old man would quickly show marks
and gashes upon his head that proved
Enthusiastically that he had shared in
conflicts, the ficrceness and terror of
which We of the younger generation
have no adequate knowledge. From a
comrade in arms Of Mr.. Finley, the
writer learned that the now old man
had once, on one of the many battle
fields of Virginia, singly and alone.
spurred his horse through a body of
Federal cavalry. receiving hand-to-
hand their pistol fire and sabre stroke.
1t happened i'll this way. so his com
radcs say, and lie won't deny it, and
now has marks to show for it. Mr..
Finley had gotten Il fresh horse that
had never been in action, and was dis
posed to be wild. The command was
on the eve of making a charge, and
the captain Of the company warned
Mr. Finley not to ride hat horse in,
as he might prove unmanagcable.
But ride him he did, and with a glori-
Gus but dangerous sequel. The SOL
diers were ordered to ride up in pistol
fire of the enemy's lines, discharge
their pistols, turn back and retreat.
This they did, all but Soldier Finley.
He couldn't turn his horse to save
his life. The animal took the bit in
his teeth and flew straight into the
Yankee lines. lierc he was seized
and his rider called upon to surrender,
which he, of course, did, seeing lie
could do nothing else. Two cavalry
men were ordered to ride with him to
the rear, one OF each side. Just as
they had gotten we'll into the rear Of
the Federal soldiers our men made an
other charge. routed the Yankees,
who wheeled and fed.
Our prisoner in the rear, seeing the
situation, quick as a flash put IL
to his horse, turned him and started
for his W command, thus meeting
the entire body &c Federal cavalry,
who were fleeing towards him, followed
by u own men. rs the Yankees
met and passed by the returning sol
dicr, every mother son of them gave
a whack at him with their sabres. AS
one was in the act Of shooting him,
Mr.. Finley snatched the pistol that
hung at his saddle bow and shot him
dead. When he got through the lines
he was as bloody as a stuck hog, but
he rode 4 mile Oh so further yet. and
in attempting to dismount after he
had reached the presence of his sur
geon, he fell in a dead swoon from
loss of blood. On his head were nine
sabre gashcs. One Of them across
the forehead had cracked the skull,
and another on the neck had severed
an artery.
Mr.. Finley, in less than two months,
was back in his company, ready for
scrvice.-Monroe .j"arm"j.

A WOMAN'S COMPLAINT.

/ know that deep within your heart
You hold me shrined apart from common
things
And that my step, my voice, can bring to you
A gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet, dear love, throughout the weary days
You never speak one word of tsnde4 ness
Nor stroke my hair softly clasp NJ hand
Within your own in loving, mute "a, ess.
You think perhaps should be all content
To know so well the loving place hold
Within your life, and yet you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told.
You cannot know, when we two sit alone
And tranquil thoughts within your mind are
stirred,
My heart is crying like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle loving word.
'Tis not the boundless waters ocean holds
That give refreshment to the thirsty flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the Skies
From thence descend in softly falling show.

What matter that our granaries are filled
With all the richest harvest's golden stores
If we who own them cannot enter in,
But, famished, stand below the close barred
doors2
And so tits said that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our eaathly lot
Go praying with white lips from day to day
For loves sweet tokens and receive them not.

Pay of Old Time Architects.

AS near as we can discover the archi-
tect of eye olden tyne" did not receive
for his services very exorbitant sum.
Recently some members of the French
school at Delphi unearthed several slabs
of marble which bear inscriptions of
great interest, dating as they do from
the fourth century before Christ. The
inscriptions, which cover about 200
lines, give the price of work for build
ing operations in Greece at the period
named, and from them we learn that an
architect was paid at the rate of $3.50
per annum or less This was little
enough surely, even if its purchasing
power is multiplied, as it should be,
five or six times. Sir Christopher Wren
received for his services the magnificent
sum OF 81 900 per year for more than 20
years while rebuilding London. His
head craftsman received about $500 per
year, while assistants received from
$50 to $l25 per year. French and Ger
man architects were not even so well
paid at the same period. Bad as this
was, it was better than the remuneTa-
tion many of the older architects re-
ceived, for in the far east if au artist
made a noble design and erected build
ing worthy of admiration his chances Of
being suddenly removed" by order of
the king were many. This step was
taken i'll order to prevent a rival king
from obtaining the services of an archi-
tect who might be able to so improve
his plans that finer ar,d nobler build
ing would be executed. Architecture

that he is a dilapidated wreck Of an un,

surprised that he cannot grab him. The

can quickly make an end of. the rabbit.

For over II years a gold mine has
been worked right in the city of San

taken out none but the two miners

other one disappeared on the day that
his partner had to be taken to the hos

Nelson Shoots, the discoverer of the
lead, found the mine over II years ago
while trying to locate the fountain of
the gold dust found along the beach.
He was a practical miner at the time
and well versed in all the secrets of get
ting all the gold possible out of refrac-
tory ores.
That he succeeded in doing this in
his Ingleside mine there is no question,
for not only did he make a good living
turing the II years, but he paid IS, 600
damages once for injuring the Spring

and his partner lost large sums of money
