my GOD ABERNETHY'.

Recently Hon. Z. Y. Webb member OF
Congress from the Ninth district, became
famous because Grover Cleveland adj
dressed to him the peppery letter de-
nouncing the Kansas Congressmans state
ment that the ex-president had invited the
negro Taylor. to dine with him at the
White House. After Mr.. Webb's letter
was widely printed, ex-Congressman Tom
Watson came out in an interview charging
that Mr. Cleveland dined Fred Douglass
and signed a bill for mixed schools while
Governor of New York. This paper sug-
gested that. inasmuch as Mr. Webb had
succeeded in bringing out the first ring
ing denial he write again. to the ex-
President and ask as to the truthfuness
of Watson's charges. It seems that Mr..
Webb did not deem the suggestion wise,
but another North Carolnian has written
and received an answer, which is every bit
as full of ginger as the letter to Mr..
Webb. Prof w. E. Abernethy. OF Burke
county, n. c.. now resident of Chase
City, Va, did write to Mr.. Cleveland and
in reply received the following letter:
princeton, N. j., March II.
Dear Sir: My attention has been sew
eral times called to the statements Of Mr..
Tom E. Watson, to the effect that Fred
Douglass was invited to my wedding re-
ception, and further that while governor
signed a bill providing. for mixed
schools. l have already written two Or
three letters denying these allegations and
do not propose to spend any more time
denying statements so absurd and ema-
Mating from so impossible a source.
Each and every one of Mr.. Watson
charges Off they can be so called, as
they have been presented to me, is false.
They are about as far from the truth as
they can be. and they were made, l have
no doubt. without the least reason to
believe them to be true and entirely in a
spirit of which even Mr.. Watson ought
to be ashamed
Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
Now if Vance were still in the flesh, he
would probably be inclined to repeat his
oft quoted expression:
MY God, Abernethy.'

A MORNING TONIC.
Isaac Erwin Avery.)

The violets again-little wet violets, and
there is the clean, sweet breath OF spring.
One would lift his head and drink deep
taste this sweetness, this grateful fresh
ness that is about. There is a quicker
leap of life, and Nature seems to stir
with a hind of tenderness. There is deep
or glow on the faces of children--easier
happiness on,a tiny, nesting face 49,.
C:rlhood comes to outward whlteness
again--the cool, crisp sign of spring. And
in all is the subtle charm OF violets-
little, human, tremulous things, gentle as
loves whisper. pure as purity. Restful,
quaint little flower, too-simple, appeal
ing -. Flower to lay On baby that
has died-to give a seemly tribute to
womanhood-to press against the face as
easement for tired heart. Such a
dear, peaceful little flower, all alone in
flower and-emblem of the world s
simplest and best, and waiting to mock
false face or adorn the beauty that comes
from the soul

the folks. Unfortunately for the machine
in some counties it has gotten in the way,
and has been broken into smithereens.
A machine is a necessary thing as an
agency for making proper arrangements
to register the will of the people But
when, in any party and in any county,
1t seeks to prevent the easy registering
the will of the people and tries to dictate
to them, it then becomes an intolerable
curse, and ought to be destroyed by the
people who created it. The creator is
bigger than the creature and should al
ways assert his power!

AN EXQUISITE TRIBUTE.

Isaac Erwin Avery, whose sudden death
saddcned host of friends, had won
high place in. North Carolina because he
had the genius to interpret the human
heart. The highest talent with the pen
is to write about the commonest things OF
everyday experience so as to ennoble
item That talent Avery had in the flower
of perfection. 1t is a gift that belongs
only to men who love their fellowmen,
and one which seems most often to be
possessed by those whose span of life
is short.
There has not been a period in North
Carolina history, when there was call
for brave men to lead. that an Avery has
not been first among the foremost. Great
of heart, courageous. chivalrous, it is a
family of rare gifts and virtues. The
dead man-dead ere his prime-had the
rrggedness and the sweetness of the
Ayerys and Morrisons happily blended.
That is why he numbered his friends by
his acquaintance.
Many will speak him fair in death, .
but the following exquisite tribute from
the pen of Mr.. Charles w. Tillett cannot
be surpassed:
He is not dead. The elements God
mixed in him were clothed with life I'M
mortal.
His noble soul came not from dust,
vhalI ,-ot,r
He spoke kind words and these can
never die.
''The lofty thoughts that from his pen
so freely flowed with beauty unsurpass-
ed. shall live in lives of men to ennoble
and to bless.
Ills heart was filled with love and
love shall still abide when even faith and
hope have passed away.
''The gentle spirit which inspired his
life to kindly deeds, death cannot claim.
THE matchless intellect that daily gave
IFS joy, must be a spark divine-a star set
in the armament Of Heaven whose lustre
ages cannot dim.
'And in the inmost recess of his soul
the holy place where human eye ne'er
lcoked-there was an image at whose
shrine he hourly bowed oh, God, it was
not sacrilege to worship there.-and such
devotion as he gave to her must last while
God and Love shall live.
His body may be laid away and
crumhle into dusty need not fear; the
Alchemist of Heaven shall pour thereon
the elixir of eternal life, and out of sense
less clay shall spring again the manly
God-like form.
NO grave can hold him; and though
the tomb be sealed with stone as weighty
as Gibraltar's rock, the Christ OF God
who burst the bands of death, himself
shall roll the stone away.
lie shall come forth: and he, who never
knew old age, shall drink deep draughts
from out the fountain of perpetual youth
that flows hard by the throne of God.
and he shall live forever.
above bis sleeping place let grow
the flowers he loved so well. And when
in vernal loneliness. the viole.s shall
bloom again, their perfume sweet shall
be to US as whisperiIfgs FROM the grave
of resurreeted life. And lilies. too, with
Natures tenderest voice, shall speak to
Us and tell of that glad Easter morn
when he shall rise again, and we shall
see him face to face.
I'VE lay him on thy breast today. oh
Mother Earth, Enfold him in thy arms.'

Only her personal native attendant

know of her exclusions, in native dress,

learned many things which may or

How to Choose q Sponge.

"There are great many differences
between good and bad sponges," said
an importer OF sponges recently. "but
the persons who buy sponges at retail
know very little about them. In nine
cases out of ten those nice looking
bleached sponges seen in drug store
windows are a delusion and snare.
The first requisite of good sponge is
that it shall be dark in color. don't
mean almost black, like a carriage
sponge, but . dark yellow. A vitriol
bath to bleach q sponge white destroys
its fiber. Its elasticity is ruined, and
it wears out much sooner. In choos-
ing a sponge see that it has velvety
touch to the hand and yields readily
to good squeeze. The best and most
expensive sponges are the Levant
which come from the Mediterranean.
The prettiest and cheapest are the
grass sponges, made OF numberless
small filaments and which look and
feel like ball of wool. The bulk Of
the sponges used in this country come
from Florida and Cuba"
