The Senate of North Carolina is a body
of dignity and it believes that age adds
influence. The Bible used in swearing in
the Senators yesterday is minus covers,
and has a generally dilapidated look but
it is an ancient one and hence has the
right of way.

Senator Blow, of Pitt, is not only one
of the best Democratic county chairmen
in the State, a successful lawyer, and
man of affairs. He is historian as we'll,
as the following from yesterdays Green
vile Reflector shows:
Senator A. L. Blow has for sometime
been gathering data for history of Pitt
county In his recent researches he found
what is no doubt the oldest tomb in the
county. 1t is on a grave about two
miles below Greenville. on the north
side of the river near the mouth of Par
ker's creek and only a short distance
from the river bank Sunk in the middle
of the slab is square of dark slate
stone which contains the following in
scription:
Death at a distance we but slightly
fear
He brings his terrors as he draws more
near
From stately palaces we must be gone
To lie benighted in the Tomb alone.

cure
His passage safe, and his reception sure

Mr.. j. r. Swami, of the Marshall Record
is in Raleigh. He was the Democratic
candidate for sheriff of Madison county
and reduced the Republican majority in
that county considerably. He was mar
ried several years before he had any
child. and Republican was guying him
on the fact when he replied that the Re-
publican majority in Madison county
was so great that he had concluded that
he could not afford to raise children in
that county. He now has a baby about
four months old, and says that since the
ma jority has been so reduced in Madison
he has concluded to begin to raise Demo-
Gratis, and that long before his boy can
vote that Madison county will be one of
the Democratic counties of the State
1.-THE people of the Lucama section of
Wilson county are preparing to vote on
the question Of special school tax" said
Wilson county man yesterday. "A few
days ago a man who was interested in
the measure, went to see farmer who
had expressed himself as opposed to the
measure. The gentleman told him to
make written request that the line OF
the proposed district be so amended as
to exclude his farm from its boundary
and it would be left out. This was done,
and the gentleman left. He had gone
only n short distance when the farmer
came post haste after him, and asked
to destroy the request. He stated that
if his farm was excluded from the dis
trict farmers inside the district would
have the pick of the tenants in the neigh
borhood and that he would have to take
such as he could get. This is one of the
strongest arguments yet for good
schools

Augustus Johnson's Hen Produced
Eggs That Were Already
Elaborately Decorated.
The Owner Even Declares That a
Suggestion of the Word
-.. 49, -.. +.
Easter Appears.

The goose that laid the golden egg didn't
have much the start OF the buxOm Wyan
dotte hen which clucked thrice on Sun
dya morning and thereupon presented her
owner, Augustus Johnson, 2S19 Columbus
avenue, with two bouncing Easter eggs
They were not Easter eggs in that they
happened to have their being upon that
occasion or because they were destined for
Easter consumption. They We're thus
rightfully denominated because they were
as handsomely decorated as any hen fruit
whose external appearance was developed
by human hands at Easter, and the re-
markable exception is that in this case
the hen did it,
Mrs. Wyandotte not only laid the eggs,
but with a wonderful sense of the eternal
fitness of things she ushered them into
the world with such an artistic coat of
several colors as to suggest that they had
been hand painted. The prevailing color
is brown, f1ecked here and there with
touches Of red and blue.
A broken strip of dark brown, extends
in perfectly straight line around the
middle Of the egg and from this radiate
different hued dots, the whole being a
color scheme which would do credit TO the
decorators art. BY closely scrutinizinz
one of the eggs, Mr.. Johnson says that the
letters of the word Easter can be dis
covered without any stretch of the
imagination. The other egg is Of less
effective treatment, but is quite as much
Of a freak Of nature.
II am at a loss to account for these
wonderful eggs" said Mr.. Johnson. land
I have about come to the conclusion that
the hen was inspired. She has always
been of a peculiar temperament, much
given to meditation fancy Free and has
steadily held herself aloof from the rest
of the hennery. This is certainly a phe-
nomenon which calls for scientific re-
search and 1 shall be pleased to give all
scientists interested all possible assist
ance in fathoming the mystery. Here is
a chance for Ernest EetonT Thompson. I
shall preserve these remarkable specimens
for future reference, and it may be that
we shall yet learn how to treat all hens
and so control the pigment with which
they color their feathers that they can
make speciality of Easter eggs.'

VACATION SCHOOLS

Lest pupils. of the Minneapolis public

this vacation toll with the lid of six other
teachers, said yesterday that his pupils
had not been fully occupied during the last
vacation. lie would have them learn gar
derting during their spare moments, the
culture of flowers, physical culture, also
parliamentary law and the art Of deba ting.
in addition to the studies that pursued
them last summer. The young gardeners
could no doubt secure the use of many
