despotism as il il should say that they must
work when they do not want to work.

The London Times yesterday printed
a despatch from Rome which asserted
that the Pope had made a will naming
his successor We are not sure that this
would be impossible, but since the prac-
tice of the Church from the time of Greg
DRY the Great has been otherwise, we are
not inclined to believe the story. When.
in the providence of God, Leo XIII shall
pass to his reward, it is altogether likely
that the Sacred College will select the

COUNCIL To HANG TODAY.
The Negro Rapist Whose Case Has Become
Famous Says Ee is Innocent.

Lewis Council, the negro rapist, who
has had half dozen respites since the
death sentence was first imposed, will
pay the extreme penalty of the law this
morning at Fayetteville.
Councils case has had an unusual ex-
perience in the courts of the State and it
bids fair to become noted in legal NOM
enclature.
The Fayetteville Observer said yester-
day:
Councils cell is situated not ten feet
away from the place OF execution, and
every time the trap is sprung he jumps
like one shot. On two previous occa-
sions he had to go through this same or
deal, just previous to eleventh hour re-
spites.
HE sent for Deputy Sheriff Mona
CHAN yesterday and requested him to
state through the paper that he did not
desire to see any one but his relatives
before the day of his death. He said he
had 10 statement to make, except that
he was innocent, and that that is all he
would say on the gallows.'

Anon. the far of poles explore
Or play with Venus lucid hair!
Tune not your anger'd. mournfui strain
Nor lintels seek. with groans At night
T" wrap the mind in thoughts Of pain
To snap the thread Of visions bright;
But give that gentle, touching lay.
To wreathe with smiles a stud, Mt face.
Such as a swain would deisn to play.
To win his sweetheart's warm.st grace.
Go WOO the woods. as gently. too.

As tender n the tiny dove
With signs more sweet. aud numerous far.
Than ere escaped a III ,id-n breast.

Reflects upon the icebcrg's crest.
Go where the battle RACES fast.
And sean the ranks for some proud form,
Who on success his die hath cast:
