How Glacier. Are Formed.


The Joint cause of glaciers Is precip-

alone can do nothing without moisture,
and this fact quickly dlsposes Of the
popular notion that glaciers Invariably
exist in cold countries Tibet, for
instance, and some parts OF North
America are destitute Of Ice springs,
though eternal cold may be said to
reign supreme In those parts. Imag-
Inc for a moment the higher noun

Snow falls and fills up all the val

from the higher parts and great ac-

ANEEDED CORRECTION.
Gibson welles' Book Did not Attribute Hatred
and Diabolism to Lincoln.

To the Editor: Some three or four
years ago l saw in a Northern newspaper
an extract purporting to be from book
by the late ex-Secretary of Navy Gideon
Welles, of Connecticut, on Seward and
Stanton 1t was most startling extract.
1t REPRESENTED Abraham Lincoln. then
President, as telling a part OF his cabl-
net, Seward and Stanton, who protested,
that ne intended to issue PROCLAMATION
freeing the slaves in the South at once.
and that he hoped the negroes would
rise up and slaughter every old man,
woman and child in all the South. 1t
was most diabolic, most terrific in It's
inhumanity. l had no reason to doubt
its correctness as | had not seen the
book Some few months ago | resolved
to probe this matter and l began TO
seek for copy. At last, through book
hunter, with hundreds of correspondents,
/ secured small volume found in pri-
waite library in Boston 1t was published
in 1874 by Sheldon e Co.. New York
city, and is entitled Lincoln and Seward,
Remarks upon the Memorial Address of
Charles Francis Adams, on the late VIM
H. Seward, with Incidents and Comments
Illustrative of the Measures and
Lincoln, and Views of the Relative Posi-
tions of the Late President and Secretary
of State, by Gideon Welles, ex-Secre-
tery of Navy" 1t is a duodeceimo of
215 pages | wish to state clearly that
I did not find any thing to Justify the
statement in the paragraph referred to,
or anything that revealed anything of
Internal hatred and diaboliSm. The book
is reply to structures made by Hon.
Charles Francis Adams in an address in
Albany, n. Y, in April, 1878, and regard
ed the New York Senator the superior
of Lincoln lin native intellectual power
and in the force of moral discipline.
I am not an admirer of Seward, and not
much given to laudation of Lincoln
when the "true Lincoln" is known and
understood But l would not consciously
misrepresent either of them, or for that
matter, any other man. / wish to find
facts. The statement in the paper afore-
said was misleading and false, if it was
based on the volume before us as we
write. If Welles ever wrote any thing
of that night when Lincoln unfolded his
plans to his cabinet and set forth the
hellish purpose and wish attributed to
him, it was not in the aforesaid volume.
There is an intimation that he wrote
one or more articles for Sheldon S Maya
zine that are not in the volume. / make
the needed correction most willingly.
Having referred several times to that
false paragraph it is necessary that this
should appear.

NFW BERN is RIGHT
Discussion as to the Correct
Spelling of the Name.
An Act Of 1897 Settles the Question. BY Act of
1923 It Was Newbsrn, Origin CT
the Name.

There has been much discussion, which
is still maintained, as to what is the
correct photography of the name of the
City of New Bern. 1t is variously writ
ten by the different adherents OF the
several methods New Bern, Newbern,
New Berne and Newberne, but the last
mentioned is so absurd and without war
rant, that it will not be considered i'll
this article.
The enquiry is often made, (Which is
the correct spelling?'
The replies vary, as intimated above,
according to the taste of the particular
writer, but if information is sought
as to the legal name of the town, as now
established by statute, there can be but
one reply-it is New Bern. This Will be
seen in the Act of Assembly, quoted be-
low, which is given entire, and this
spelling would seem to conform to that
originally used:

Heart on Right Side
Physical Curiosity,

w. Hurst of Lexington. of this county,
has the unique distinction OF wearing
his heart on the right side instead OF
the left. This discovery was made by
the pension examiners of this city
when he made an examination for a
pension.
This rare anatomical curiosity has
excited much interest among the med
ical fraternity. A close investiga-
tion was made of Hurst's heart, and it
was found that there was nothing alb
normal whatever in the organ itself
or its movements.
Hurst is veteran of the Civil War,
aged 81 years. His case is exceedingly
rare, according to the medical records.
and the local pension board will pre-
pare an article for the medical publ
cations, giving an extensive descrip-
tion of their discovery, and all facts
appertaining thereto.
