praise, frankly acknowledging her
part in his work.
“In my wife's mind I see my

As in a telescope we behold the

hers. Most certainly I am aware
that no one else can see the same in
her which I behold, because no one

that disgrace is for those who ac

acknowledging it.”
No man ever wrote thus intSnate

during her lifetime or after her
death. He continues:
“I have seen her face the ro

persistence, and the righteousness of
her cause.
“Some there be, who have called

TO CUT FARE.
Raleigh, N. C., July 9. —Judge B.
F. Long, of the state court, instructed
the grand jury yesterday to indict
every violator of the new law fixing
the minimum charge of transport
ing passengers on railroads in North
Carolina, exceeding 60 miles in
length, at 21-4 cents p r mile, and
providing a penalty of SSOO for ev
£ry violation and making it an in
dictable misdemeanor for any agent
of the railroads to demand or charge
a greater rate.
Judge Long expressed the opinion
that no court has jurisdiction in in
dictments except the superior courts
.of North Carolina, and that if the
state superior and supreme court
should hold the act not repugnant
to the federal constitution, the fed
eral supreme court could re-examine
the decision upon writ of error at
