Those who talk volubly upon their
Joys and their griefs are not generally
those who are capable of the profound
est happiness or the most intense suf-
fering. Those who can put into ready
words the sanctities of love, and fluent
ly express all its hopes and fears have
seldom penetrated to its depths. Those
who utter glibly and unrestrainedly
all their upward strivings, their senti-
ments of contrition, their feelings of
reverence their desire for worship,
are not usually the most truly relig-
ious or devout. For all that is highest.
deepest. and most profound in human
nature silence is better exponent
than speech. Not only is language in
adequate to convey the truth of such
things, but they are themselves drawn
down from their high estate by being
made subjects of ordinary conversa-
ton Reticence on such matters is both
salutary and becoming.

pass an ordinance which fixes the fees
to be paid public contractor for the
removal of the carcass of an animal
out OF the city at such n sum as that
the owner of the carcass could not
pay them and realize anything out of

The condition is so intolernble that
the business men of all parties have
advised that the white mems ticket be
elected without opposition. The Re
publicans of New Hanover agreed to
this and there will be only one ticket
in that county.
Thousands of people have returned
to the Democratic party and hundreds
of Republicans will vote with the Dem

has resolved itself more into fight for
white rule and protection TO every par
