HENRY TIMRoD.

In gardens you may note amid the dearth
The crocus breaking earth;
And near the snowdrops tender white and
green
The violet in its sheen.
But many CLEANS and shadows need must
pass
Along the budding grass,
And weeks go by before the enamoured
South
Shall kiss the roses mouth.
Still there's a sense of blossoms yet un-
born;
/ In the sweet airs OF morn
One almost looks to see the very street
Grow purple at his feet.
At times fragrant breeze comes floating
by,
And brings, you know not why,
feeling as when eager crowds await
Before a palace gate
Some wondrous pageant; and you scarce
would start
If from beechs heart
A blue-eyed Dryad. stepping forth. should
say.
Behold me! I am May"

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.


Now, if ever come perfect days;
Now Heaven tries If the earth be in tune
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look or whether we listen
We hear life murmur and see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and
towers,
And cropping blindly above it for light
Climbs to soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadows green.
The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice.
And there's never leaf nor blade too
mean
To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door in the
sun,
Atilt like a blossom among the leaves,
And let's his illumined being o'errun
With the deluge of summer it re-
ceives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her
wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast fiutterE
and sings:
He sings to the wide world, and she to
her nest
In the nice ear Of nature, which song is
the best.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

San Antonio, Texas, May 4-Surround-
ed by thousands of citizens and visitors,
President Mckinley and Governor
Savers with heads uncovered stood I'M
der the walls of the historic Alamo
today. The President arrived today
from Austin at 2:35 o'clock in the
morning and was Immediately placed
on a siding where the members OF the
party were allowed to rest until .
o'clock. At that hour President Nc
Kinley was up and about.
After breakfaSting on the train the
President and his party were visited
by the reception committee and the
march to the Alamo began. The streets
and buildings along the line of march
were profusely decorated and the
President was everywhere received
with the utmost enthusiasm. The larg-
est demonstration of the day occurred
at the Alamo, when the President and
Governor Savers appeared arm in arm.
The President made an eloquent speech.
explaining the heroic deeds of the gal
liant defenders of the historic fort The
visitors were next escorted to Fort
Sam Houston, where the Government
troops were reviewed by the distin-
guished party. Colonel McKibben, the
commandant, received the President,
who greeted him warmly.
The party next visited the college ana
hundreds of school children cheered
them.
The President in his address said;
81 am glad to receive the welcome of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the Confederate Veterans. (Great APP
plause) Only more reunited and for
ever, each having respect for the cour-
age of the other, and all of us sharing
the yalor and the heroism which were
shown on both sides of the line. (Great
applause.) We know what stuff each
other is made of (applause); the men
of the South and the men of the North,
but we have but one side (applause);
we are solid only for the Union and
the flag (applause.) The sons of the
boys in blue and the sons of the boys
in gray fought side by side in Cuba, III
Porto Rico and in the Philippines and
are today, shoulder to shoulder, carry
ing the flag we love, spotless in its
mission of liberty and emancipation"
Great applause.)
At the conclusion of the Presidents
remarks, Governor Sayers, on behalf
Of the people of San Antonio, presented
the President an oil painting of the
Alamo Mr.. Mckinley gracefully ac-
knowledged the gift by saying there
was nothing he would prize more high
ly. The train left at noon for Ell Paso,
624 miles away, the longest distance to
be travelled during the entire trip
without a scheduled stop. During the
afternoon the young ladies of the party
enjoyed a novel experience. For about
twenty-five miles they rode in the cab
OF an engine.

Ingratitude of Pritchard,

THE True Reformer-Negro Organ.)
1t is boldly stated by the newspapers
that Senator Pritchard will recommend
no more colored men for Federal ap-
pGintments. Is this true? If not, the
Senator owes it to the colored Republi-
cans who did so much for his success, tc
refute the statement.
If the above is true, what must Repub-
leans of North Carolina think of the in
gratitude Of this me .! 1t is a known fact
that Mr.. Pritchard would never have seen
the inner walls OF the United States Sen
ate, as Senator, had he not received the
undivided support of the colored members
CT the General Assembly Of 81
PERHAPS he does not now remember
the day when he had them all TO assem-
bic in a private room, where he took of
his hat to them, begged their support
and made all manner of promise to them
which were never fulfilled.

SHAMROCK A FLYER
The Second Yacht of That
Name Takes a Trial Spin
Off CoWes.
lBy the Assoeinted press.


Southampton, May 4.--The trial of the
Shamrock IL today had a rather unfor-
tunate conclusion for she went ashore on
a bank close to Warner Lightship. The
trial was practically over and she came
sharp around the lightship to return to
her mornings when she grounded on the
sand The wind was very light at the
time and she slid upon the bank with
scarcely a perceptible shock. A launch
towed her off without any difficulty. The
yacht sustained absolutely no damage.
The challenger hoisted her mainsail at
11:40 a. m, and shortly afterwards, slip
ped her mooring and lying over till her
lee rail was almost awash, went reach
ing down Southampton water at pace
that made the Erin drive along at full
speed to keep her in view. The manner
in which the new boat sailed suggested
that the Shamrock l has a serious oppo-
nent in the trial races. A jib topsail
was set on the challenger and she tried
her PAGES up and down the west chan
mel. She carries big mouthful of foam
under her bow, but this is due only to
the manner in which her fat PROV glides
over the surface. The challenger proved
distinctly fast and handy in turning, and
she seemed TO point well into the wind.
After spending a couple of hours slip
ping about in light winds off Cowes, the
challenger made long board toward
Ryde There a fresher wind was met
and going along with all canvass drawing
we'll the Shamrock III footed ahead in
way little short Of marvellous. The
sweetness of her hull was shown by the
