cording to official custom. After he
took on an official pilot sent by the
CAPTAIN of the port of Havana, the ship
was berthed In the man-of-war anchor

according to his understanding, 1t was
one OF the regular buoys of the place.
He then stated that he had been In
Havana in 1872 and again In 1898
He could not state whether the Maine
was placed in the usual berth for mem

marks since the explosion. using Cap

buoy; that he had rarely known mer-
chant vessels to be anchored there and
that 1t was the last used buoy in the
harbor.
In describing the surroundings when
first moored to this buoy, Captain
Sigsbee stated that the Spanish man
of-war Alfonso XIII was anchored In
the position now occupied by the Fern

If u man builds, nature
straightway sets to work to
undo his building. Rust eats
into the iron and decay into
the wood and little by little
time rava9es and destroys.
But if a man plants, nature
proceeds to complete his un-
finished work. He sows a
seed and behold wheat, he
plants q cutting and behold
a tree. Such is the difference
between working alone and
working with God. He who
sows truth in human hearts
works with God. The seed
drops into the heart; lies
there; is long time hidden;
sprouts, pushes forth t h 9
blade and ear, and finally the
iull corn. Not at once, often
only after long delay; but it
fails not. Heaven an earth
shall pass away; all things
material decay. "But my
words shall not pass away"
truth is imperishable.- lily
man Abbott.

A Minister WaRed.

The following anecdote is
old, but good; and many of
the present generation have
not seen it:
'The people in one Of the
out-parishes of V Virginia II
wrote to DR.. John Holt Rice,
who was then at the head OF
the Theological seminary in
Prince Edward, for a minis
ter. They said they wanted
a man Of tirst-rate talents;
for they had run down con-
siderably, and needed build.
ing up. They wanted one
who could write we'll, for
some of the young people
were very nice about that
matter. They wanted one
who could visit a good deal;
for their former minister had
neglected that, and they
wanted TO bring that up.
They wanted a man of very
gentlemanly department. for
some thought a great deal Of
that. And SO they went on,
describing a perfect minister.
The last thing they MENTION
ed was they gave their last
minister $3.50; but, if the
doctor would send them such
a man as they described,
they would raise another
$50, making it $400. Tie
doctor sat right down, and
wrote them a reply, telling
them they had better forth
with make out a call for old
DR.. Dwight, in heaven. For
he did not know OF anyonein
this world who answered this
description; and, as Doctor
Dwight had been living so
long on spiritual food, he
might not need so much for
the BODY, and possibly. might
live on $4O0."- ."-Observer.

Linney's Row Of Stumps

j, T. Gibbon, colored, edi-
tor of the Herald, of Win
ston, the organ of the color
ed Republican faction that
opposed the denomination of
Congressman Linney, was in
Charlotte yesterday with the
excursionists.
A News reporter had quite
an interesting conversation
with Gibbon. He tells the re
porter that there is no end
to the opposition among the
people of his rnce to Mr.. Lin
ney; that the opposition is so
pronounced that a second
full ticket will be put in the
field at an early date. 1t is
the intention of the boilers,
who.call themselves insurg-
ents to nominate Wilcox, of
Ashe, for Congress in opposi-
ton to Linney, and, along
with his nomination, will
come a full State and county
ticket. Gibbon claims that
Linney secured his re-nomin-
alton by fragrant fraud, and
that he does not represent
the majority of his constltu-
ents.
Ii Wilcox is nominated,
which Gibbon thinks will be
done at an early day, he will
secure almost the uGdiyided
support OF the colored people
of t h e district. charlotte
