FashIons In Diamonds.

To-day, to the diamond dealer, a
stone purchased 20 years ago is in
appearance as old-fashioned as suit
of clothes of that period is to the
tailor. Instead of being cut oval or
cushionshaped, as diamonds were
then, stones to-day are cut round,
thus increasing the number of sur
faces. 1t used to be the style to
have large table, as the upper sur
face of a diamond is called, and to
obtain this a stone was cut in the
form of a cushion. This style was
changed not many years ago upon
the discovery that by cutting a stone
round and increasing the number of
bcvels its brilliancy was greatly in
reased,-London Empire.

GENERAL THOMAS'S LETTERS,

1t has been long understood that
northern army. n who was a soldier
of as much or more generalship than
,ither Grant or Sherman. had no idea
of fighting against the south at first.
He wrote a letter to Governor John
Letcher. of Virginia, the chief eXecu-
tive in war times. in which he averred
that he would not fight against his
native state. He was TO receive the po-
sition of chief of ordnance for Virginia.
In a letter dated New York, March II,
1861. to Governor Letcher. he said:
Il have he honor 10 state. after eX-
pressing my most sincere thanks for
your very kind offer. that it is not my
wish to leave the service of the United
States as long as it is honorable for
me to remain in it. and therefore as
long as my native state CVirginia) re-
mains in the union. it is my p

1t was understood that he would re-
sign from the army as soon as Virginia
seeded. An article in the Richmond
Times gives this:

A NEEDED REBUKE TO SUPPOSED
CHRISTIAN NATIONS.

One of the most striking things in
connection with the Chinese wal is the
attitude of advanced Japan. 1t is pro-
gressive but idolatrous. And yet one
of it's leading newspapers has issued
an address in which it makes an ap-
peal to the so-called Christian powers
in China. to illustrate mercy in their
dealings with the people of that oldest
of kingdoms. The Washington Post
editorially says of this extraordinary
article that it is IAN appeal for mercy
and a protest against outrage, massa-
ere. and rapine in the name of civiliza-
ton. All who read this remarkable ar
ticle-so modest yet so eloquent, SO
un~pretending yet so forcible-must
nave felt a blush for their race as it is
now represented in heather China.
Everybody knows that what the Jap
anese paper says about the persecution
and the plundering and the barbarism
committed by the allies is true"
Think of a pagan country in the year
1901. making an earnest, forceful APP
peal to Christianity for the exercise of
mercy to a people who are under the
iron heel of such powers. 1t is a curl
Gus event, and that it is needed, and
we'll based on facts. is a shock to a true
civilization. and a cause for sorrow to

Prince of Peace. The Post says hat

A CRITICAL DISSECTION OF
PRITCHARD.

The Messenger years ago distinctly
recognized the unusual abilities and
the accurate range of information Of
our neighbor at Turkey, n. c.. Hon.
BENJAMIN F. Grady. Among living
North Carolinians he has but few
equals in the extent and precision of his
acquisition on the line of history, ma
tional, southern and state. His able
book on THE South Against the
North"-that should be owned by every
intelligent North OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
his accomplishments as an historic and
political Investigator. We are remind
ed of this by a column article in the
Raleigh Post of 18th inst, criticising
most incisively and LUMINOSITY Pritch-
ards laundering and malignant speech
in the United states senate in which
he sIandered the best democrats IL
ablest men in North Carolina and be
trayed in doing so the smallness of his
caIibre and his ignorance. You must
read Mr.. Grady's brief paper in dis
section of Pritchard'S plumbers. It IS
one of those discussions that must be
a as a whole to see its exac value.
He simply unvails the flounderings and
absurdities of the senatorial spouter as
he spat his venom at better men. He
shows how confused is Pritchard's eff
fort at thinking, and how glarirgly
ignorant he is of the subject he d
took to handle before the senate. 1t Is
cool. frank, direct in its replication
and exposure. The las paragraph
reads as follows:
There are some other things IN tn
senator's speech which do no credit L
his e. or his heart; and it was a hu-
initiating spectacle that North Carroll
ma was represented on the floor of n
senate by two gentlemen who ha;
nothing but r~eproaches for her. How
great has been the fall of the descend

With more revenue possible. with more

poses. the legislature would have taken
still more advanced ground, and have

We repeat that the legislature meas

ents resolve to give their children the
full benefit of the educational oppor-
tunities. Let all men interested talk
kindly with neighbors with children as
to the Importance of sending them to
the public schools for h full term.
By example and persuasion no little can
be done to widen the benefits of the
school system and to advance the re-
suits of education among the masses.
The whites must understand that un-
less they would have ignorant children
while the negro children are taught,
they must avail themselves of all adj
vantage and opportunities for their
own offspring.
