after the commonplaces had been dis

"Why was it necessary" inquired
Samson, with a glance of disquieting
directness.
Possibly, it was not necessary

Samson made no response. But
Farbish, meeting his eyes, felt as
though he had been contemporary
rubuked. His own eyes clouded with
an impulse of resentment. But 1t
passed, as he remembered that his
plans involved the necessity of win
ming this boys confidence.
At the steps of a Fifth avenue club,
Farbish halted.
Wont you turn in here" he sug-
gested, land assuage your thirst!
Samson declined, and walked on.
But when, a day or two later, ne
dropped into the same club with
George Lescott, Farbish joined them
in the grill-without invitation.
"By the way, Lescott.' said the
interloper, with an easy assurance
upon which the GOODNESS Of his re-

Samson shook his head. But he

Terrible Calamity.

On Saturday morning, last, loud
noise like the rumbling Of thunder
was distinctly heard at this place,
which it seems was correctly accounted
for as being caused by the blowing
up Of the powder mill located IA miles
from Charlotte, on the Catawba river.
The Bulletin can give no particulars
as none Of the operatives were left
to tell the melancholy tale.
The following is list Of the killed:
Supt Chas. Klueppelberg, John N.
Lee, George Hutchison, Christopher
Ounce, John Ochter. The mill house
is entirely destroyed, but the princi-
pal portion of the machinery is unin-
jured. The president, S. w. Davis,
was absent.

Death Of Gen. T. J. jackson.
Though the public mind was not
altogether unprepared, the news OF
the death Of this distinguished man
has fallen most startlingly and pain
fully on the general ear. He died at
Guinea Station, some fifteen miles
distant from the bloody field 80 recent
ly the scene Of his prowess, at a quar-
ter past o'clock p. m, on the lOth'
inst, from the combined effects Of his
wound and an attack Of pneumonia
Among our great and distinguished
generals, there are none who so COM
pletely filled the public heart as
"Stonewall" Jackson. The enemy even
were forced to esteem as they had
been taught to fear him, and 1t will
now be their boast, as 1t is our mis-
fortune, that great and shining light
has been extinguished. 1t is a ter
rible dispensation Of Providence, one
that calls forth the exercise Of all our
philosophy, in these trying times. The
patriot soldier has fallen with the
notes of worldly triumph sounding In
his ears, but the country whose idol he
was, feel assured from his past life,
that a greater triumph awaits him In
another and better world.
Gen. Jackson was, we think, Vir-
gilman by birth, we have not the ma
terial at hand for any lengthy sketch
Of his life-his services are too fresh
to be forgotten-to other sources we
leave the mournful duty.

A friend of The Sentinel sends us a.
copy of the Christian Work, religious
weekly published in New York, which
contains statement from DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills regarding his recent finan-
cial trouble. Week before last The
Sentinel published paragraph and re-
ferred to Mr.. Hills as specializing with
other peoples money and losing it. We
got our information from news dis
patch and our statement was not at va
rance with said dispatch. However,
Mr.. Hills statement of facts is differ
ent and we much prefer to believe him.
He says he made Investments of his own
money and others made the same invest
ments on his advice and the investments
turned out very badly, all losing the
money invested. After finding out that
the money was lost Dr. Hills says:
immediately I set before myself the
task OF seeing to it that no one suffered
any financial loss through confidence in
myself, or even through any introduce
tlons which | had given. Now that |
am told that | have enough to pay off
the last of any indebtedness, so that /
hope soon to begin life again, without
property, indeed, but also without debt "

favorable mention Of man like that,
and we are glad to give more space for
the correct statement than for the in
correct one.

A Tribute to MY Depart Frignd,
Y Y KS Henry Ariail.

,IS1 He was my friend for more than thirty
years. Meny pleasant hours have I
spent with him and his family--when
the children were small, gathered around
the fireside-then as they grew up and
became Christians. Itwas my pleasure
and happy privilege to baptize several
OF the older children into the Fellowship
Iof dear old Enon church. where he 80
fpften worshipped and which he loved 40
well. Then, as the years passed by and
the children went away to build homes
Tor themselves, the wrinkles began to
come in the old mans face, his stems
were faitering. Sad and melancholy
ne would sit and think of other and
brighter days. Now all the children,
except one devoted daughter, are away
from home. Thesparkle has gone from
the eye, the merriment from the home.
My bright. cheerful friend is sick-sten
softlySthe doctor says he can't live.
AS one after another of paroxvsm of
pam passes away he feebly says, Il
Will see my father before morning ;,
His father, the Rev. John AriaiI of
blessed memory, has been in heaven for
many years. A few minutes before the
end came the struggle seemed to be
over, and like a little child going to
sleep, with beautiful smile wreathing
his face with heavenly peace, the i'm
mortal spirit of our friend and brother
burst the bars of prison life and winged
its flight to the beautiful world beyond,
where he will wait the coming of loved
ones.
The day following his body was laid
to rest by the side of loved ones, over
looking the old home where he was
reared. Twas sad but beautiful
sight just as the sun was sinking behind
the western hills, making long shadows
fall athwart the CITY Of the Dead''-
amidst tears, prayers and beautiful
flowers we laid our friend away to rest
How we loved him! but Jesus loved
him best, and has called him to rest
from labor, and his works will follow
him.
Farewell. dear brother till we meet
again. D. w. H.
