Moon view. From the Grant Tomb


Moon Views From the Grant Tomb.
Persons of romantic temperament
have discovered that the best place in
New York from which to watch the
moon rising in the east is the porch of
General Grants tomb Standing, as 1t
does, away from all other buildings,
at the highest part of the Riverside
drive, with the beautiful Hudson river
flowing softly along hundred feet be-
low, the noble ediflce in which lies the
hero is as full of poetical charm as the
Alhambra itself. AS the moon rises
one can see the rays touching column
after column of the mausoleum, throw
ing into deeper shadow the recesses
and giving the whole building an ethe-
real aspect which is striliingly beauti-
full. Young couples who are strolling
along the drive make it point to go
up to the tomb to watch the moon rise,
and the idea is becoming SO popular
that the charm of solitude at least has
certainly departed.-Ne York Letter
In Pittsburg Dispatch.

not on the program when the mob is
reused and hunting for victim. An
accusation against cOlored man is as
satisfactory to the mob as proof of the
crime, and with savage ferocity it goes
for the colored brother and his brother
and his father and his sons, and for all
who dare to ask for law or justice, for
the accused. 1t is true that the victim
is usually reported as ''confessing" be-
fore he died, which we may believe if
it eases our consciences any, but what
"brave and orderly" mob cannot make
q frightened wretch confess has not yet
been thought of.
A friend in the south writes as fol-
lows: "Abouta month before we came
three negroes were hanged at little
town five miles below here. Two of
them had been accused of chicken steal
ing etc. When I inquired about the
third, the woman said they were not
sure that he was one of the guilty ones,
but he was q no account niger any
way. And so it goes everywhere. II
he is colored man the law does not
protect him nor punish his murderers.
Let the brute guilty of assAulting
women be killed when he is proved
guilty, whether he is black or white
but where is the sense or justice OF
abusing q whole neighborhood, and
driving peaceable' law abiding colored
people out of their homes because one
of their race has committed crime
The killing of criminal seems to be
the least part of q mob's business. Once
started the end is IS uncertain as tn,
end of the fire when a brush heap il
lighted in dry forest.
Ibelieve in furnishing the guilty TO
the protection of the community, bu
there should be proof as well as accus
alton, and then let the killing be don
in a manner befitting the "superio
race" that deals out justice. The worl
/ is bad enough without our sowing an
. more winds to raise worse whirlwind
than any we have ever seen.
"Vengeanceis mine," saith the Lore
and do you doubt that all the injustic
) and malice and fortunes inflicted upo
/. an oppressed people will be returned O
the oppressors hundred fold?

Question Answered.


Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious.
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by DIR. Don

in the matter of musical solos, recita.

at the front. We can only do this
through the earnest help of the
good people of the county. So let each
of us feel as if this was purely per-

rested the responsibility of the success
or failure of the coming session. Let
us all work together, having for our
aim the setting of the mark of excel.
lence SO high, of this the first Institute
of the new Century, that it will serve
as guide in model. an authority to all
the future Institutes of our county.
