Warned by q Thistle.

1t was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion they de-
waited from their usual rule. On they
crept noiselessly and unobserved, IN
their bare feet, upon the unsuspecting
Scotchmen. When near the camp, one
of the Danes trod upon thistle and IL
his pain cried out. This aroused the
sleeping Scotchmen, and they gave the
alarm. The Danes were defeated with
terrible loss OF life, and ever since that
time the thistle has been the insignia
of Scotland, with the motto, Memo me
impune lacessit" -Philadelphia Rec

A BLOWERS BLOW

So blear-eyed Mary Ann Butler is
still slandering and damning the White
Men. He is a political bird of evil
omen. He is still harping on my
daughter''-he tried to make a dicker
with the democrats, he says, but they
would have none of it. They were in
no mind to trade their principles with
an unprincipled demagogue in whom
they reposed not the slightest conf
dence. After Benedict Arnold had
tried to betray West Point into the
hands of the British, and when caught
in his nefarious work and he made
good his escape to the enemies of his
country if he had then opened cor
~respondence with General Washington
for a dicker and for a consideration.
that they might combine to befool and
finally defeat the British, it would have
been foolish and vicious in the ex-
IRENE if Washington had listened tic
the traitOrous enchanter or in the least
UNSiSS IL thO I'll Ills
country. The democrats understood
precisely the character Of the trading
Butler and the value of any bargain or
promise he might make. Their posi-
tive Indifference to his overtures and
prompt rejection Of his delusive. pro-
position in no degree indicated the
feelings of the grand democracy as to
the rule in North Carolina of the white
men, and gave cut but little Of their
real purpose to stamp out negro domi-
nation at every cost. So Buffers CAB
BILE as to his proposition to the democ-
racy to disfranchise negroes amounts
actually to nothing at all. The fellow
who at Rocky Mount in a most villain
Gus harangue denounced the White
Men of North Carolina is not the fell
low to be trusted in the smallest par
ticular or to fraternize with real WhSee
Men.

that the next legislature will be demo-
cratic and overwhelmingly so. We
must hope for a good, round majority
in the house. We are not entirely sure

black radicals are playing a deep game

A Black Insults a Lady On the PubIi,
Highway

Another foul act of one of the cow
ardly negro horde of Wilmington came
to light yesterday.
Several days ago a lady residing on
Chestnut street was returning home
about twilight from a visit in Brook
Ign. She Vas walking along on the
western side of Fourth street and was
opposite the store al the intersection
of Red Cross street when a negro man
walked up to her. With a malicious
grin on his black face he grabbed the
lady savagely by the arm, wheeled her
around and then walked off. The lady
could do nothing and as there was not
a white man in sight to appeal to, she
had to hurry off badly frightened.
The identity of the negro is I'M
known, and it is a good thing (for the
negro) or he might have to pass in his
checks.

The Louisburg Times copied a para
graph from the Messenger relative to
the increased black radical expendi-
lures in those two fine counties, Wake
and Cabarrus, and also Pitt, one OF the
best of eastern counties, and Madison
county in the west. and adds this edi-
torially:
And in Franklin county where $20,-
600 in bonds were issued only last year,
and sold at something less than par,
including expenses, the treasury is
about empty and the county orders are
and have been selling at a discount for
several months. The expenses of the
county have increased over 50, 900 a
year mor than the expenses under
democratic rule, and the taxes this
year are higher than they have been
in this county in ten years"
