A Remarkable Career

William M. Evarts, who passed his
eightietb birthday Sunday, has had a
remarkable career. He is said to be
the only lawyer who ever secured a
single fee of half a million dollars,
though hat is not the most interesting
fact in his long history. He defended
President Johnson at the time Of the
Impeachment charges, he helped seat
President Hayes in the executive
chair, he was counsel for Beecher in
the Tilton case, he represented the
United States in the settlement of the
Alabama claims, he vas secretary of
state under Hayes, and in his later
years he entered the senate from New
York state. 1t is pathetic to read of
him now, blind and feeble, confined to
his bed for weeks at the time and I'M
concerned in the affairs of the world
about him. But doubtless he has had
as much enjoyment in his long career
as most men, and certainly he has had
his share of reputation and honors.-

The Indian Campaign

AS it stands at the present moment,
the frontier campaign has been the
most disastrous military undertaking
on which we have embarked since the
Welcheron expedition. The Indian
government has modified one Of the
largest armies that have been called
out since the Crimean war, and after
three or four months incessant fight
ing, what has that army done? Moth
ing. During all those months scarce
ly a week has passed without bring
ing-controlled through all the means
of communication by the military
authOrities-the news of some petty
but i%gnominious reverse, or some des-
perate encounter in which our troops
have, with difficulty, extricated them
selves from a position of serious peril.
Inc loss of life has been appalling,
especially among the officers, and the
troops have been decimated by sick
ness. For the most part regimental
omcers and men appear to have &C
quilted themselves admirably; there
have been splendid instances of hero
ism on the part of individuals and
corps. What, then, is the fault? 1t
can only be hat the campaign was
badly planned, and that the troops
have been badly handled.-London

Why New York Grows

Ernest Ingersoll, in a magazine ar
ticle, explains the phenomenal growth
of New York into the acknowledged
metropolis of a continent by saying:
The merchants of New York sent
to the continent Of Europe more ships
than the merchants Of other cities,
who traded mainly with Great
Britain that this city was better
known throughout Europe, and ner
vessels were the handiest for emf
grants from France, Germany, and
Holland. Agents of the New York
merchants and Of the government who
were seeking and encouraging immi-
grafton could show hat this port was
the most advantageous landing place
for a man who was going west; and
the sea captains explained that it was
the safest and quickest port to make,
because the curse lay south of the
stormy, foggy region north Of Cap
Cod, and the city was much closer to
the open seas than either Philadelphia
or Baltimore. AT any rate, immigra-
ton increased in favor of New York
as time went on; and the stream of
incoming people swelled until in the
decade from 1884 to 1894 it amounted
to about 500, 900 of immigrants a year.

Strange Moaey in the Mountains

'SThe strangest money / eve saw"
said a drummer for a Main street
house h other evening, was in the
mountain districts of Kentucky n
West Virginia. Last summerI / was
making my semi-annual tour through
this district and / stopped one day at
a little grocery and saloon, not to sell
goods, but to get a drink of the tmoun-
tain dew While 1 was pouring out
drink a big husky mountaineer en-
tered the place and called for a drink.
AS he finished gulping it down he
reached into a big bulky pocket and
drew forth what looked to be a COON
skin. He laid the skin on the counter,
the barkeeper ook the skin and. open
ing a drawer, hauled out a rabbit skin.
which I suppose was the change. The
mountaineer picked UP the rabbit skin
and started to the front part of the
store, which was the grocery. He there
bought a twist a twist Of tobacco ard
rendered the rabbit skin in payment.
He received a big twist Of long green,
and I was surprised to see the store
keeper reach in another drawer ard
tender his a Squirrel skin. The noun
taineer tucked the squirrel skin in his
pocket, walked out, unhiuched his horse
and rode away.
Il became interested and engaged
the proprietor in conversation. He told
me hat sometimes he would go months
without seeing any real n and
hat the m-ountaineers used h skins
in all kinds OF trades, such as buying
horses. etc. He SAID that four times a
year a hide buyer from Lexington or
Cincinnati visited the country and
bought I'D all the skins. which were
generally concentrated in the few stores
in the vicinity"

So Much to Learn

To study. probe and ~paint.-brown earth.
Salt tae. blue heavens, their nth and

So much to learn about the world

Through interstellar space awhile
Together, then the sob, the smile.

Whirl lonesomely along the years.
So murh to learn from VISIONS store

So many stories treasured long
On temples, tombs. and columns strong.

And eloquent from marge to marge.
So much to learn about ones self:
The tickle soul. the nimbled elf
That masks as me. the shifty will,
The sudden valor and the thrill:
The shattered shaft, the broken force
That seems supernal in its source.
And yet the days are brief. The sky
Shuts down before the waking eye
Has bid good-morrow to the SUM-;

Goodbye, goodnight, the star-lamps

Mt. Airy News: why has Governor
Russell allowed the monster, Hancock.
to remain in office? PROBABLY because II
was Hancock who stole the Craven coun-
ty delegation for Russell when the vot-

no other plausible reason.

from Hong Kong, dated Aug.
l, says:
News has been received from
Manila that the other day the
American troops went to the
assistance of the rebels, who
had been expelled from their
trenches by the Spaniards.
The latter retired before the
American advance.
The rebels have been shelling
Manila from four guns on the
south side of the city.
Admiral Dewey has received
word from Captain General
August that he is willing to
surrender as soon as he can do
so honorably.
1t is believed that he will
make a show of resistance.
Dewey expects to take the city
without losing a single man.
Should Dewey and Merritt be-
gin the attack August will pro-
pose o capitulate on these
terms: The Spanish troops 10
march out will. the honors of
war; the soldiers and officers TO
be permitted to return on parole
to Spain and an assurance to be
given that the lives and proper
ty of Spaniards will be protect

ARDMoRE. TUESDAY, AUGUST 2.

The expenses of maintaining
military governments, vast
standing armies. ETC., in our
schemes of conquest presents a
question demanding the ablest
and calmest consideration by
our statesmen in their repre-
sentative capacity. The pros
poets for territorial expansion
arc fraught with tempting pos
sibilities for the politician and
the capitalist; but is it best for
the plain and common people
Of the land who, after all, are
the very foundation of the gov
ernme0t?
