Fallen Flowers- One of the workers of the world Living toiled and toiling died; But others worked and the world went on, And waa not cbaoged when be wee gone, A strong arm atricken, a wide nil furled ; And only a few men sighed. One of the heroes of the world Fought to conquer, then fought to fail, And fell down slain in his blood-stained mail, And over bis form they stept ; His cause was lost and bis banner furled j And only a woman wept. One of tbe singers among mankind Sang healing songs from au r/erwrought heart; Itul en- men listened the grass and wind Were wanting the rest unsnnglikea wave: Aud now of hia fame that will ne'er de-part Ho bos never heard in bis grave- One of the women who only love Loved and grieved and faded away— Ah ma ! are these gone to the God above, What more of each can I aay f They are human flowers that flower and fall, This is the song and the end of them all. —The Athenaum. llTlnCBS II • I ICE9 l i ONI2 ,'iiMTE. la-dey's Carbolic Troches, rvBOP isZMaoaaM Cclda.

Pome Interesting Faots about The Patriot—The Oldest Pa-per in North Carolina. [From Iho People's Pre.-s.] O. L. R-, a correspondent of the Salftn People's I'ress, writing from Keritersville, March 13th, says: " Tbe other day I came across a stray copy ol a late number of the GREENSBORO PATRIOT, and among other tilings there was an article from the Keidsville Times, referring to one of its former editor?, William Swt.im, Esq., styling him -"about the second editor of tbe PATRIOT." Now, I always thought that he was the originator of the PATRIOT, aud so to get clear ot that seore, I ad-dressed a can! tu ray lriend, Lyndon Swain, who was subsequent editor lor titieeu years; and here I send you nn extract l'roni his reply, be-jjjeviog it will interest many of the readers 'if the Press, as it did me. He says: "In the year 1825, as near as 1 can ascertain, a man named Potter set up a printing press in Greensboro, and in conuectiou with Dt L. (i. Watson, issued a paper styled the PATRIOT. 1 thiulc that not more tliau two numbers were issued by them. It was a very email affair. In 1826" they sold ont to T. Early Strange, who proceeded to the re-gular issue ol " THE PATRIOT and Greensboro Palladium,"—a paper of respectable size, lor its day, aud cleverly conducted. In 1828 or 1829,Strange sold to William Snaim, who rontinned the paper as the " GSSBHSBORO PA-TRIOT," until the time ol Ins deatb iu (he latter part ol 1835. Swaim's administrator continued the publi-caiion for a few months, until the estate could be settled. From 1836 to 1839 several changes took place: BannerA Evans, Zere-ly -S Evans, Clancy & Evans, as nearly as 1 can remember,—were the order in which the several pub Ushers came in. In 1839 Swaim&Sherwootl bought tbe establishment and published the PATRIOT regularly until 1854,—fif-teen consecutive j cars. Then Sher-wood published it for some time aloii.-; then Sherwood & Long ; then Caldwell: then Ingold ; then Duffy & Morehead; then Duffy alone; then l'ulghum, the present proprie-tor. The dates when they severally entered and retired I cannot recol-lect. Such is au epitomy of tbe his-tory of the GREENSBORO PATRIOT. 15\ the way, in the article you al-lude to, William Swaim is called Buck."

With kindest regards, LYNDON SWAIM. About Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday comes early this year, March 28th, earlier in fact than nsoal; as, since 1845, when it occurred on March 23d, to 1900, it rotates between March 31st and April 26tb, coming ofteneet about the middle of April. It is regulated by the condition ot tbe moon, being always tbe first Sunday after tbe full moon which happens upon or next after the twenty-first day of March, and if the fnll moon happen upon a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday after. There has been a continual controversy in regard to the proper time for the celebration of Easter, aud as it is the most au-cient of the movable feasts of tbe Christian Church, it is also the most important, as it determines all thereat. The dispute arose between the Eastern and Western churches, tbe former contending Easter to be equivalent to tbe Jewish Passover, aud that therefore it should be cele-brated on the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month or moon. Tbe Western churches celebrated it on the Sunday after the fourteenth day, holding that it was tbe commemo-ration of the resurrection of Jesus. The Council of Nice determined in favor of tbe Western usage (325 A. D ); the decision has since rested in that favor, the principal object be-ing now to prevent Easter from falling on tbe same day as the Jew-ish Passover. They did, however, occur together in 1805 and in 1825, and will do so again in the years 1903, 1923, 1927, and 1981. This year, Easter, though hap-pening early, will seem consistentl_\ late, as tbe season is uncommonly precocious, aud the approaching Sunday, the day that introduces the inheritance ot joy to the Christian, the occasion of feasting to the fast-er, the signal of spring to tbe in-valid, the opportunity of gain to tbe schoolboy, the cue of change to dame fashion, the hope of sunshine to natnre herself, promises to be a faithful harbinger of all that is ex peeled of it. The worship of the Goddess OH-isrd or Eastre, personifying the morning or East, aud also the open iug year or spring, seems to have been strictly observed in Northern Germany, whence it was brought into England by the Saxons. The Anglo-Saxon name of April was Estermonath, and it is still known in Germany as Ostermonath. So it appears that many of the popular observances connected with Easter are of Pagan origin ; they only grew into icligious ntes through the poli-cy of the Church, and it was found a simple matter to give a Christian significance to joy at tbe rifliug ol the natural sun and at tbe awaken-ing of nature trom tbe deuth of win ter, since these sentiments became synonymous with joy at the rising of the Sun of Righteousness, at the resurrection of Christ from the grave. The kindling of bonfires at Easter is an old German custom ; but the one most characteristic and widely known is the use of the Easter eggs, used in many ways. They are eaten, games are played with them, pre Beats ol them are exchanged ; they are made the foundation for xsthetic skill from beingcolored with various dyes and herbs, to being painted in artistic designs and ornamented with silken cords and tassels, rib-bons, and eveD mounted into jewel receptacles; cabinet ornaments, and boxes. Of course when utilized in this way the meat of the egg is re-moved. While it is hardly neces-sary to state, these latter devices are of modern origin ; also the Imi-tation of eggs is of a late date, and hardly carries out the Christian idea, as from their point of view the •'feast of eggs* was considered em-blematic of the resurrection and of a future life. In Scotland years ago Easter morning, early, was tbe hour ot frolic for the young people. They would start at dawn of day in search ot wild-fowls' < ggs lor break fast, and the number found was their evidence of luck for that year at least. Iu Ireland they say the sun dances on Easter morning, if you only arise early enough to see it ; bnt it any one ever has, the fact has not yet been recorded. In the Tyrol Eaator is remember-ed with every ceretnouy. Bands of musicians traverse the mouutain.e, singing the Easter hymns to the ac-companiment of the sweet guitar. The natives wear Spanish hats, ornamented with garlands and bou-quets of flowers. Crowds of happy children are amidst this motley gathering, and when the dirrkness of evening envelops tbet.) these little ones carry lighted torches of pine-wood and baskets of colored eggs. Imagine how picturesque roust be Ihe scene,—Swiss monntains.qnaini costumes, weird music.and shadowy-lights. The merriment generally finishes with a repast of eggs and wine, given to the singers by the higher class of farmers in payment for their joyous carols. In Chester, Euglaud, also, the Easter festivities are of no small importauce town itaell is so old and withal so thriving a piece of antiquity most of tbe ancient customs and games are kept up. Such carious pranks as they sometimes resorted to seem to the prosaic people of these times almost improbable. For instance, the custom of "lifting," oue, too, really in memory of the Resurrection. A party ot young sides. No rank could save the in-dividual from the chance of "lift-ting," nor was the privilege confin ed to tbe male sex, for it is said that King Edward I was "lilted" by cer tain ladies, and that he paid £104) for the honor. This is only one ol the many singular customs in vogue at Easter in Chester. Eggs were used for all sorts of games; even the clergy could Dot forego tbe iu spiration ol tbe occasion, aud play-ed ball with eggs doriug church service, dancing the while. There were processions with music all day long, and the streets were a contin-uation of banners, emblems, aud crowds of noisy worshippers. Within late years fancy Easter cards have beeu almost as uunier ous and varied as valentines on the 14th of February, and some of them %re extremelv beautiXulj.g»auj are .^ "'," ^Slhtefl tn water colors, others are m*wo ■ from the firms of Prang, Marcus e Ward, De La Eue, etc, and are got-ten up in uuique designs. Oue es-pecially appropriate was in the shape of a large egg about ten inch-es in length, colored, finely decorat-ed, and containing six leaves tied with delicate shades of satin ribbon. Each leaf displayed a verse of poet-iv under the six different headings. ■"Faith," "Hope," "Charity," "Ke peutance," "Forgiveness," aud "Peace." Another was a card sim-ply but so exquisitely tinted as to tie almost an object of art. The subject was a group of ruddy-laced cherubs supporting a huge egg, tbe whole beiug drawn by a ribbon reined lauib. Others there are of dainty flowers, nested eggs, em liieir 'tic devices, all suggesting some suitable sentiment in a well-selected verte. The prettiest con-ceit in the way of a bonbonniere shown this seasou is a horse-shoe of flowers, from the centre of which is suspended by a golden wite a pink satin box in the shape of an egg. Upon opening tbe egg it is found lo be tilled with delicious bonbons. Others are merely egg-shaped box-es, covered with satin or silk, delic-ately paiuted ; some also ot solid candy, wood, or paste; but the greater number ol them are made to open and display either a pleas-ing picture or a feast of sweets.— Forney's Progress. Count Ferdinand Do Lesseps- [The Baltimorean.J For several days past the daily journals of this country have teemed with the name of Count DeLesseps. He has been fetid, win-ed and tuned in Sew Turk, and Washington, and if he secures the contract for making a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, he will probably become one of the rich-est men iu this country. Fie is described as a man of mid die stature, with white hair and grav moustache, piercing hazel eyes, which have an extremely kind ex pression : black, bold eyebrows and a ruddy, healthy looking lace. Be combines the manners ol the di-plomatist, with the best character-istics of high rank. In conversation M. De Lesseps is lrank and eloquent and kind to a remarkable degree. B is manner is energetic, and his 74 years and gray hair are obliterated in his vigorous dictions and Ihe demon-strative gesture with which his persuasive and gracious conversa-tion is rendered all the more im-pressive. As the master mind of the Sutz Canal. M. De Lesseps has become tamons ihe world over. Iu 1870 he conceived the idea of au Americau inter oceanic canal. In 1875 there was held in Par's, the Congres Unirersel de Geographic, and among the questions before it was the consideration ol a project for an American canal. A com-mission, with M. De Lesseps al the head, was appointed. Interest in the question was manifested_ oy many civil engineers, and Lieut. Wyse and M. Keclus, with about sixty other engineers and capital-ists," roiincd an association for the purpose of surveying the isthmus. Thev at first favored the Damn route, but M. De Lesseps said that it was impracticable, and that the clue to success was the Panama route. In 1878 these engineers reported favorably on tbe Panama route, and in Mav of WTO the Congress, which met at Paris, adopted the report bv a vote of 7S to 8. To bring about this report, it is al-leged, and by many believed, that M. De Lesseps packed the Con- Krt'"8- , ,- Bear Admiral Ammen ami hn gineer Menocal, tin American del-hold to this riew and op- Some Interesting Faots about Senator Bayard, of Dela-ware [Philadelphia Time..] Physically Seuator Bayard is a man of heroic build, bot rather bony and angular. He is above the average height, and even with his habitual stoop looks tall. His clean-shaven face, with its broadly-mark-ed lines and wonderful capacity lor the expressiou of emotion, is pleas-ant to look upon and wius favor at sight. His eyes are steel-blue and move restlessly under a pair ol overbauging, shaggy eyebrows. He is a man of actio.i and gestures, is given to pacing, and in sitting as sum-is the most convenient arti tudes with frequent aud uneast cbauges. He is a tireless worker and is in constant danger of work mneti. After senIts aa • email in tbe investigation ot some custom house frauds in New York (the Jayne-busiuesa, 1 believe,) in which he became iu tensely iuterested, he became hol-low- eyed and haggard and greatly declined in desh. Hard work aud anxiety during the extra session of 1879 came very near breaking him down. He needs to put the brakes down on that sauguine tempera-meut. Mr Hayard is seen at his best at home—either in Wilmington or at Washington, surrounded by bis family or in the midst of his dearly loved books. He married early. His wife was Miss I. iin.-.i Lee, of Baltimore, a daughter of the junior member of the banking firm of Johnson & Lee. They have hail twelve children autl ten of them are living. .Iitmes A. Bayard, fourth, his eldest sou, has been eitgaged lor the last two years with Clarence King's Geological Expedition. Mr Bayard is an exceedingly domestic persou, and is reuowued iu Wil-mington as a model falberaod hus-band. His summer home is aline old-fashumed mansion, situated in iu the outskirts of Wiliuingtou (on Clayton street), which was once the property of S. B. Davis, the guar-dian ot Myra Clark, now koowu to lame as Myra Clark Gaines. It is a roomy house, furnished with a view solely to comfortable living. Mr. Bayard's •• den," or library, has all the marks of the workitig-room ol a man ol literary tastes. The walls are lined with bookshelves and the table is always covered with books ami papers, which are confusion itself to anybody .-bat himself. The floor, too, iB strewed with books aud uewspapers. The visitor always fiuds the host at >.I.I I., but never too bnsy ro talk. For Tom Bayard is not only the soul of hospitality, but one of the most fluent talkers you ever saw. When he gets very much interested he is apt to walk up and down the room with bis bands in his pockets and indulge iu a monologue. His words flow like water fioui the mouth ul n pitcher, and if taken dowu In short hand they will be found to make perfect sentences and notable for the display ol a rich vocabulary. It is much more sat-isfactory to hear him talk than to read his manuscript, lor his cbi-rograpby is very hard to decipher, and the abbreviations and lack of pnoctnation (lor ho writes as he talks, at race-horse speed) make it an euigma to those not very well acquainted with it. In tbe winter the Senator lives in Washington, occupying bis own house, an uupretendiug brick Struct-ure of three stories ami a mansard roof, on Massachusetts avenue. Within it is lull of the cheery light of home aud rich iu tbe indescriba-ble little things which give an air ol comfort which is little short of luxury. A vine covered piazza adds to Ihe attractions oi the place. Although the house is unpretend-ing in itself, it is in a notable neigh-borhood. It Stands in the circle in the middle of which rises the new-ly- erected Thomas statue. On either side of Mr. Bayard live Sen-ator Edmonds and Justice Miller, while among his near neighbors are , Ex Uinistei Schenck, Senators Mor-rill, Bill, Col. McPnerson, Blaine, Allison, Kaudolph and Windoin— almost a little village of some ol the beat known men in Ihe country. The life of the family is of the Simplest. A card reception or two and about the same number of formal dinners make up the elabor-ate entertainments of tbe season, although 'be number of informal entertainments is almost as un-bounded as is the hospitality of Senator and Mrs. Bayard. A SIMPLE REPUBLICAN Uh'NTLKMAN. No one is more popular iu Wash-ington society, however, than Mr. Bayard, antl adding to his genial, ma'nlj qualities a thorough ac-quaintance with the French, he is one of the. most sought-after of our public men ai the dinuers and re-ceptions ol the diplomatists who that this man acts ouly on princi-ple and is uot swerved by any con-sideration of expediency , but t In y tboronghly appreciate bis contempt for their methods. I happen to know that oue of the most eminent capitalists in the country has pla ced his bank account at Mr. Bay-ard's disposal in tbe canvass toi the Presidential nomination. The reply was: "No ; if the people waut me for President they must nom-inate and elect me." He will not even authorize the organization of his friends for aute-cooveution work. This may be Quixotic but it is characteristic, aud there are several hundred thousand people, not all Democtals, who think this is tbe sort of man to make Presi-dent of the U in ted Stales next year.

[Milton Chronicle J From a Leasburg correspondent we have the particulars of a re markable and novel capture nf n large bawk, which occurred at the bouse of Mr. Wm. Murray,on Sonlh Hyco, in Person county, near Leas-burg, on tbe 11th inst. Mr. Mur-ray's little daughter, uine years old, was trying to keep a large hawk trom catching her chickens; the bird of prey had alighted on a tree near tbe house and regardless of the "shoos" the little girl uttered, set still and immovable. She there lore pick**}, up a rock and going near the tree to kill it if possible, threw at it, but it did not scaie "worth a cent," aud darting dowu it made a furioos attack upon the person ol the child aud attempted to seise her bodily and carry her away. The little girl, considerably frightened, but uot wanting in cour-age, received the attack, and to work they went, each doing their beat in the fight. After a protracted scuffle, the girl having fallen, she seized the hawk by its legs with oue hand and grappled its neck with the other and rose victorious.
