Is laid off in walks, drives and avenues.
There are upon it twenty-one monuments,

are soon to be erected by the National
government. The monuments and their
inscriptions set forth the honorable rec
ord of North Carolina during both the
Colonial and Revolutionary periods, with
the exception, greatly to be regretted, for
the present of the noble deeds of the
North Carolina sons of Librty at Will
mington in 1866. Five delightful springs
are fitted up. Lake Wilfong, on the
grounds, is lovely sheet of water. Ten
thousand people attend the Fourth of
July celebration every year and the ad
dresses all rise to the dignity of history.
The Museum of Relics is a most valua-
bic and interesting feature. The battle

Greene and Lord CORVALLIS, March 10,
1881. and the British were driven from the

was struck the blow which drove Corn

victory full of results most important.
CORVALLIS kept the field on the 18th,
Greene retired in good order eighteen
miles northward to his camp. On the
3Oth, Greene writes Washington from a
point south of the battlefield and says
Greene's Headquarters, Ramseys, Deep
River, March 80, 1881:
Il wrote to you the 23rd inst. from
Buffalo Creek (south Guilford) since
which we have been in pursuit OF the
enemy with the determination to bring
them to action again. On the 9th we
arrived at Rigdens Ford, twelve miles
south above this, and found the enemy
then lay at Ramsey's. Our army was put
in motion without loss of time, but we
found the enemy had crossed some hours
before our arrival, and with such pre-
cipitation that they had left their dead
unburied upon the ground"
This is fully corroborated by the Brit
ish historian, Tarleton, and in detail.
The comments of Stedman, the most re-
liable, perhaps, of the historians of the
period, is both literary and historical
curiosity. He says, 'Thus we find that
the battle of Guilford drew after it
some, and it will afterwards appear that
it was followed by all the consequences
of something nearly allied to a defeat"
To the General Government the bat
tie ground company freely tenders this
sacred spot with all its rights, titles and
interest in the same with the sole ex-
pressed wish that the same shall be pre-
served as a National Revolutionary battle
park forever.
In July last, General Henry V. Boyn-
ten, familiar with all the facts wrote
and published thoughtful, just and pa
triotic magazine article concluding in
these words:
1.-The vast body of the Revolutionary
patriots in the North should take no.
tice of this North Carolina work, car
red to success without conventions or
noise or tumult, or the sound of saw or

paid for, with its history collected, and
preserved on tablets and monuments.
Those who have brought it to success
are at the sunset of life. 1t would be in
every sense fitting if the National Gov

care. Meantime let Northern patriots
follow the practical lead of the citizens

Song of Scattered Sons.

From mount and valley, land and sea-
Their longing eyes look back to thee
Denied thine arms for many a year. i1
They ask thy blessing Mother Dear.
Some sun-scorched in the Deserts waste
Some froze by the North-winds blast:
Grim faces that have braved the brine
Dark hands that dug deep in the mine;
Those who found gold on every strand
And those who come with empty hands
The step is slow, the hair is gray
World-weary since they went away
Some in strange land found wealth and fame
And others graves without name
These victors-those beside the wav-
Forget not this Memory-Dav
Where the blue mountains kiss the sky,
In green fields that in Piedmont lie.
Where hungry Hatteras gnaws the sea- FL
Land of the gentler, frank and free
Iooay the toast and song and cheer -
Are mingled with the the tender tear;
For some we loved are in the grave
Some youthful, noble, loving brave

Thank God we sprang from her great soil.

RURAL MAN LOSES BONDS.
Securities Bought for Brother also
an Missing Bundle.

The saddest man in the whole metropolitan
district yesterday was julius O. Rowe prom
inent citizen of the fourlshing post hamlet of
Lafayetteville. in Duchess County. Mr.. Rowe,
who is elderly man in comfortable circum-
stances. managed in a brief period yesterday TO
separate himself from various securities valued
in the aggregate at about $4,000 The story of
Mr.. Rowe's misfortunes recalls poignantly the
dangers that beset the rural visitor TO the me-
tropolis Some time ago Mr.. Rowe placed an
order with Harvey Fisk & Sons for the purchase
of certain securities which acquired in
due time
Yesterday Mr. Rowe arrived from Lafayette
Vile and went to the office of his bankers to
get his stock and bonds
Il guess I'll take them back Lafayetteville
with me-" he told the clerk. He carefully rolled
UP the bundle of papers, valued at $200o0 and
started off minute later he was back at the
window.
Couldn't you give me envelope for Them"
he inquired I'm afraid some of them might
drop out" Again, after carefully depositng his
envelope in his pocket. Mr.. Rowe departed in
the direction of Lafayetteville
Just about an hour later the clerk was sur
prised to see the agonized face of Mr.. Rowe at
the window again.
They're all gone" gasped Mr.. Rowe in hor-
clerk
why. those stocks and bonds you gave me"
Where did you lose them?"

Lafayettevile there they were in my pocket, but

Bureau. and the various companies in which
the securities belonged were informed Fortu-
nately for Mr.. Rowe they are all registered, and
any one who purchases them will he a loser.
as they have been stopped" at the offices of the
various companies.
Perhaps the hardest part of the accident for
Mr.. Rowe TO bear is the fact that some of the
securities belong TO his brother Horatio Rowe,
likewise of Lafayetteve. to whom Mr.. Rowe
will have to tell the story of his remarkable
journey from the ticket Office to the train in the
Grand Central Station. No information of the
whereabouts of the securities obtained last
night but the bankers who striving to re-
cover the property, feel no anxiety and are wait
ing for the finder to turn them in to the police
or to them.
