I once read. in an account of the early
history of New Zealand, the story Of
Bishop Selwyn's first pastoral visit I'd
otago, then peopled mainly by whaiers
and sealers. The grateful sailors mad
unusual efforts to receive their august
visitor as he deserved. A room was hung
with flags. a chain disguised as a pulpit,
and the Bishop was told that music had
been provided. He was requested to give
out "Old Hundred" as the only hymn they
knew.
This he did with much misgiving, and
been concealed near his elbow struck up a
lively waltz, followed by Mix, My Dolly. !"
Though electrified. the Bishop was sus-
tained and treasured by the perfect gray
solemn "Old Hundred" came round, when
they Joined with the full chorus.-Pick-

WILMINGTON, n. c., Nov. 1.-Two
more negroes have beel added to the
death roll of the race war now being
waged in this city. Both were shot
while attempting to pass the guard es-
tablished throughout the city by the
whites late last night. A large body OF
whites went to the house of white
republican justice of the peace. who
has negro wife, broke in the door,
forcibly elected him from the house and
destroyed all of the furniture. At pres
ent quiet prevails throughout the city.
Every street in the city is being patrol
led by armed white men, the jail is be-
ing heavily guarded to prevent the ne
gro leaders incarcerated there from
being lyDched and the tramp of the SOL
diers and the glitter of bayonets is
everywhere. The seven negroes who
were placed in Jail last night
were escorted to the Atlantic Coast
Line depot this morning and warned
never to tread on North Carolina
soil again; if they did they were told
they would forfeit their lives. The
seven negroes banished from the State
were thoroughly scared. 10 fear aud
trembling they stayed in Jail all last
night, expecting every minute to be
lyDched. Their march to the depot
will be memorable one. The escort
was composed of division of naval
reserves from Kingston and q military
company from Maxton. The compa-
MES formed 10 the front and rear of the
negroes and marched through the
principal streets of the city in the bust
ness section. Along the entire route
crowds Of people gathered and cheered
Justify. The negroes crouched close to
the soldiers for protection. At the depot
all bought tickets to Richmond, Va,
and were heartily glad when the train
departed. Responsibility for the riot
and bloodshed in this city vest erday is
placed npon the shoulders Of negro
lawyer, w. Scott. The negroes ap-
pointed him to carry in person letter
to the whites acquiesciDg to their de-
mands for removal of the negro news
paper, but Scott mailed it. Late last
night he was captured and made TO
leave the city never to return again IN
der the penalty of death. The main
scene of yesterdays tragedy is to-day
as peaceful as puritan village. The
negroes are keeping to their houses
Several of the negroes wounded yester-
day died this morning. All barrooms
in the city have e'opened.
