A sEAsONABLE TELLER.

I'm mighty fond o. winter, when the frost
is lyin' gray
On the gardens where we frollicked with
the flowers O. the May;
When they have the candy-pullin's, an
the elders sharp an sweet,
An the music O. the fiddle makes
fidget in yer feet!
Then you'll find me shore
On the creakin' cabin floor
A-dancin' evry quadrille an a-coaxin
EN- fer morel
I've got friendly feelin' fer the spring.
so rosy dressed
With the wind in all her ringlets an the
blossoms on her breast;
When the mockin birds air singin, an
you hear the honey bees,
An the robbins an the rabbits air as
happy as you please;
Then you'll find me shore
Jest ath OWN wide the door
To the sunshine an the singin', an
awhistlin' out fer more!
An then l like the season when the sum-
nler come along
An the drowsy, dreamful weather's like
sigh that's in a song;
When the cattle bells air clankin' on the
dusty hill an plain,
An the lilies air a-holdin' of their silver
cups fer rain.
Then l takes my ease
In the shadders o the trees,
While the partridge in the medder whis-
ties lively fer a breeze!
An l like the fall time, bretherin when
the leaves air gold an gray;
When alls so still pears like the wind
has sighed itself away
From the scented shadders O the night
an from the sleepy day
When, if you'd only listen, you'd hear all
the angels-Say,
Then you'll find me shore
Jest a-th OWN wide the door
An lekin' heaven come down to me,
An askin' en- fer mroe.

TIE SCANDAL AvERTET.

Public opirion is still the most pow
erful factor in public affairs. When
aroused AMI directed against a public
wrong. it is invincible. II is greater
than a-y Governor and more powerful
than any Senator. It is mightier than
arms or navies. 1t is stimulus TO
high endeavor to honest and right
minded public officials. 1t is lash, it
is a whip, it is a goad to those lacking
pure motive and high incentive.
The intention of Governor Russell,
backed by railroad attorneys and Rad
icals, to appoint himself Chief Justice
was averted only by the mighty power
of healthy and determined public
sentiment. The plan rested upon active
support by few well known corrup-
tionists and the passive acquiescence or
apology of good men who felt that it
was not worth while to fight the dis
graceful dicker that would put stain
upon the judiciary.
The job was SO disgraceful that it
needed only to turn the light upon it,
upon Russell's record, and the inf1u-
ences that instigated his appointment
to make it SO Infamous as to prevent
its contamination. None but a bad man
could for a moment entertain the
thought of making himself Chief JUS
tice, and none but bad man of bold
ness and nerve of the baser kind could
carry it out. Russell did not lack the
first. 1t may be that he lacked the
latter, or il may be that he possessed
both, but that Reynolds refused to be
a party to the trade. 1t is to be hoped
that Russell, in the silent watches of
the night. was moved rather by the
strong condemnation of public opin-
ion than deferred because he was frus-
trated in his scheme. 1t would take
man utterly abandoned to shame to put
himself at the head of the Supreme
Court of the State in the face of the
expressed Indignation of the almost
united condemnation of good men of
all parties. When it came to doing
that. Russell did not have the courage
OF his greed. He did not have the dar-
ing to write himself down for all
time as the only Governor who ap
pointed himself Chief Justice. And,
either because he did not have that
abandon of brazonry or because public
sentiment deferred Reynolds from be-
coming a party to the disgraceful traf-
ficing, the threatened scandal was
averted.
This incident teaches wholesome les
son that ought to nerve men to fight
wrong no matter how strongly en-
trenched or how all powerful it seems.
Nothing can Withstand determined pub
lie sentiment. If it makes itself felt, even
kings on their thrones must heed it or
have their crown taken from them.
In a republic no man is powerful
enough to defy it, 1t was the voice of
indignant protest from the people that
prevented the crime against the ju-
dietary which was threatened last
week. That same voice. aroused against
wrong, will be potent always when the
people assert themselves and do not
lie down and say: eve cannot help our
selves" Courage and determination
can prevent most public crimes; it
can punish oil men who override pub
lie sentiment.

SOME STRANGE OMISSIONS.

Wilmington Messenger
In the responses published in the News
and Observer as to the twelve greatest
men, ever born in North Carolina, we
have noticed the strange omissions of
some of the greatest, to wit, Thomas
Hart Benton, Andrew Johnson and James
X. Polk, the two last having been presi-
dents Of the United States. Then Cas-
we'll, Morehead and Chief Justice Ruffin
were not native North Carolinians. as we
think John M. Mills was a native of

STEAMER TWILIGHT SINKS.
Struck IA Rock Near Trenton--Her Passen-

Struck "A Rock Near Trenton--Her Passen-
gers Rescued.
The steamer Twilight, owned by the
Upper Delaware Navigation Co., plying be-
tween Philadelphia and Trenton, was sunk
near Perriwig, about two miles below Tren
ton, shortly after O'Clock Sunday night.
The boat was on her up riser trip to Tren-
ton. There were about $50 passengers aboard
all OF whom were rescued without nishnp.
The theory Is that the steamer struck a
rock or log, and a hole wus stove III her
hull. The water rushed III, and nll efforts TO
pump it out we're OF no avail. Capt. Ward
run the vessel on bar, Hnd IL gradually
filled and sank, the water rising above tho
main deck.
The passengers were taken ashore In tho
TwiliEht's lifebnats and IN rowbuats which
flocked to the scene. There was panic
among che passengers at first, but when 1t
was seen that there was no danger some one
commenced to play ON tho piano, and the
nervous passengers were soon in good spirits,
The boat is solidly in the mud and cannot
be raised without much difficulty. he ek-
tent of the damage to the Twilight cannot
be definitely ascertained, but IL will be at
least several thousand dollars.
