Delicate Hint.

Dean Hole, in his Little Tour in
Ireland" says that when one of his
party went a-fshing, it was to come
home in triumph. bearing a glorious
salmon, its silver scales glittering in
the sun. Naturally he was in good
humor, and we'll disposed to pay the
fisherman who had accompanied him.
This was the dialogue as the two men
stepped on shore:
"Boatman," said the happy tourist,
chow much is the boat?"
Sure, your honor. the boat'Il be in the
bill. Your honor'll give the boatman
what you please"
But what is generally given?"
We'll, your honor, some'Il give two
shillings, and some IS pince. y tailor'd
be for giving IS pince.'
How much the passenger gave is not
known. but surely he was not inclined
to be classed with stay-at-home tailors.

"Then, DOCTOR" said Silver, you just
step outside O. that stockade, and once
you're there, I'll bring the boy down
on the inside, and I reckon you can yarn
through the spars. GoOd-day to you,
sir, and all our dooties to she squire and
Cap'n Smollett."
The explosion of disapproval, which
nothing but Silver's black looks had
restrained, broke out Immediately the
doctor had left the house. Silver was
roundly accused of playing double-of
| trying to make separate peace for
himself-of sacrificing the interests of
his accomplices and victims, and, in one
word, of the identical, exact thing that
he was doing. 1t seemed to me so obvi-
Gus, in this case, that l could not i'm
agine how he was to turn their anger
But he was twice the man the rest were,
and his last nights victory had given
him huge preponderance on their
minds. He called them all the fools

might round upon us in twinkle of
an eye, if we were seen to hurry"
Very deliberately, then, did we ad-
vance across the sand to where the
doctor waited us on the. other side of
the stockade, and as soon as we were
within easy speaking distance Silver
stopped.
You'll make note of this here, also,

GOING HOME.

Going home-the blithe birds singing
Soft from every bank and spray,
Faint winds to the uplands winging
Incense from the new-mown hay;
Ger her brow the first years roses,
In her heart Loves first delight;
Going home as sunset closes
Aood-night. pretty one, goodnight
Going home-the dark clouds frowning,
Naught around but ceaseless din,
Even PHYS accents drowning
In the world of tears and sin;
On her brow no longer gladness,
In her heart Cares hopeless blight;
Going home to shade and sadness
Goodnight. weary one, goodnight!
Going home-the stars awaking,
Calm above the city's roar,
Tidings unto worn hearts breaking,
OF repose for evermore:
On her brow retreating sorrow,
In her heart returning light;
Going home till joys good-morrow-
Goodnight, happy one. goodnight!

SHE WON THE CASE.
But Had to Resort to Desperate Means
to Do 1t.

Ell tell you, Grace" said the head of
the big law firm as he sat that evening
with his only daughter, Il can't con-
scientiously sanction this proposed
union. The young man is a briefess
barrister. The chances are perhaps one
in fifty that he has the qualities which
win success, but do not propose to
subject you to any such hazard. You
may consider his suit rejected"
but is there no test? Must two lives
be spoiled because you cannot fathom
the future far enough to see that he will
honor your profession? Up to certain
point L will obey you, father, but de-
cline to be made the victim of any
fatuous prejudice. Is there no way in
which a young man can prove his
worthiness without waiting years for
a chance to show his mettle?"
30, yes, my dear, if you do not care
to await the somewhat tedious process
of evolution. This young man is to try
a case against me tomorrow. 1 admit
that the law and the evidence are both
on my side. but it's the best L see for
you now. 1t he wins the case Will
sanction the marriage"
Did. she sleep that night? Not if her
own word be allowed to settle the mat
ter. She wrote note after note and each
note went by messenger boy. She
urged her you-g knight to do his best
and not to yield as long as there was Il
fighting chance that he might win. In
the small hours of the morning came
one Of those inspirations that only come
with dreams. With the stealthiness Of
burglar she concealed every material
article of outdoor wear that belonged

was glad 20 hear the sound, yet my
gladness was not without admiXture.
L remembered with confusion my in
subordinate and stealthy conduct; and
when I saw where it had brought me
among what companions and surround
ed by what dangers-I felt ashamed to
look him in the face.
He must have risen in the dark, for
the day had hardly come; and when 1
ran to loop-hole and looked out I saw
him standing, like Silver once before,
up to the mid-leg in creeping vapor.
"You, doctor! Top D the morning to
you, sir!" cried Silver. broad awake and
beaming with good nature in a moment.
Bright and early, to be sure, and it's
the early bird, as the saying goes, that
gets the rations. George, shakeup your
timbers, son, and help DR.. Livesey over

DR.. Livesey was by this time across
the stockade and pretty near the cook,
and could hear the alteration in his
voice as he said:
Not Jim?"
''The very same Jim as ever was" says
Silver.
The doctor stopped outright, although
he did not speak, and it was some sec
onds before he seemed able to move on.
''Well. WELL" he said at last, duty
first and pleasure afterward, as you
might have said yourself, Silver. Let
us overhaul these patients of yours"
A moment afterward he had entered

Mr.. Geo. A. Misenheimer, a Populist,

Dear Sir: Your letter received. l send

taining a true account of affairs in this
county. We are not so bad off as our
neighboring counties but this election will
decide our fate. We have negro school
committeeman, town officials, tax listers,
&c. but have not passed completely
under negro rule yet. and I am one Of
these who purpose appealing to the car

this fall.
| do not propose to be under negro
supremacy or have the property and
manhood of the country subiugated by
an inferior race who do not own any
Of the property they govern.
Both sides are preparing for a struggle
if the negro wins in this election. Thous-
ands of negroes III this section have
quit working ON the farms and are
pillaging and stealing for Il living. and
expecting political and social advance
ment this fall as the result of the mis-
statements and promises made to them
by Republican politicians.
They are open in their threats against
the whites, and are buying rifles and
cartridges where they can.
There are a few of our white men
who are so cowardly and weak as to say
they will stay away from the polls as
the negroes viii have everything THEN
own way ard will be that much harder
on them if they oppose then:.
Many Populists in this section are
coming back to vote with the Democrats
this time and that alone can save us
from riot and ruin.
North Carolina has sunk very low, but
hope we have enough manhood left
to save us from complete negro domino,

negroes under age will vote as under the
present election law we cannot stop
them.
