INFINITE CAPACITY TO TAKE
PAINS.

Senator Vance was not North Caro-
lina's greatest intellectual product. Had
he been he would not have climbed so
high, or stood so securely in the hearts
of his countrymen.
The basis of his greatness was
Goethe's definition of genius-his inf
mite capacity to take pains
AS War Governor of North Carolina he
gave his time and his talents not to
producing State papers, or to discussions
of the science of government, but to
sending shoes to and providing food for
the States troops in the Confederate
army. His mind was more employed in
keeping the full quota Of the States
troops afield than to penning guberna-
torial procamations. Again and again he
filled out the broken regiments and re-
manned the decimated companies of
North Cardinals troops, sending clothes
to the naked and arms to the unarmed,
until at AppomattoX, as tribute to his
infinite capacity for taking pains, more
troops from this State laid down their
guns in surrender, than from all the 9TH
er Southern States.
In his old age in the Senate of the
United States, with diligence that was

A MAN OF THE REOPLE.

When Mr.. Webster delivered his dedi-

Bunker Hill monument he introduced
the subject by saying "a duty has seen

Vance. Other great men have lived in
North Carolina to whom the soil was
native and have passed away, but few,
if any, had the opportunity or availed
of it, to endear themselves to their
countrymen as Vance did. He was man
after the peoples own heart. He was

Perhaps the ablest fight, all things
considered, his age, his health, wounded
sensibilities, breaking With old friends
by 1.-The parting of the ways loss of pat
ronage and influence with the admins
trati0n, was his able, brave and manly
opposition to the repeal Of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman Law; his elo-
quent words rang out clear and strong
over the country in opposition to this
repeal until there should - other silver
legislation, with prophetic vision he saw
that unconditional repeal was uncon-
ditional surrender" and the permanent
Nv passing under the single gold stand
ard, and he and his people we're opposed
to this and he AMI they honestly feared
the results, and only surrendered in the
last ditch. In such a battle where he
believed the interests of his people were
involved, he did not permit any consde
ration or sacrifice to stand between him
and duty as he saw it.
But if / am called upon 10 Eame his
most conspicuous service to the State it
would not be any service rendered by
him as Legislator, Congressman Colonel
of the Twenty sixth regiment, Governor

his commanding influence over the masses

A HOME MISSIONARY.

Every service rendered North Carolina
by the late Senator Vance made him con-
spicuous for unremitting fidelity to the
interest of all the people. From early
life he was appropriated by them, and
remained faithful unto death. North Car
DINA did the best she could for him; and
he, in return, gave a quid pro quo by
devotion to his State that has never beHn
surpassed in the lives of arlv other of
her illustrious sons. He was pre-emi-
nently a home missionary; constantly
looking out for his people and showed
also, in various ways, his interest in
the welfare of the negro race. In war
and in peace he was the same; ready to
spend and be spent in the service of the
people; and it is out of the question for
me to mention one service more conspic-
uous than another. He lived and died
for them, and greater love hath no man
than this, that a man may lay down his
life for his friends" But he loved them
no more than they loved him. OF course
he was conspicuous in his always posing
as the friend of the poor man. 1t was
not an unnatural pose, however. He had
felt the sting of poverty himself and
knew how to sympathize with the poor.
When the great prophet, Elijah, was
about to take his seat in the Heavenly
Chariot, he asked his companion and
friend, Elisha, what he could do for him
before he went away. He replied: LET
double portion of thy spirit be upon
me-" If the immortal servant of the peo-
pie today could say to them. what can
| do for your" they could make no more
needful prayer than this: Let thy
spirit be upon u.s." That's my notion any
way.

Of the Twenty sixth that / believe he
