TQOR OLD HANCOCK.
-: . . ' .
Air "OW Uncle Ned." , ,
There was an old soldier an' he fought in de wall.
Dat we waged for de Union long ago, j ,
But he hadn't no sand at de bottom of his craw, ' ;
In de place whar de sand ought to grow.
. His fingers was long, and dey itched in de palm,
An, he reach fur de presidential chair, j
But somehow or other, when he stretch out his arfn
De presidential chair wasn't there. '
Chorus Den lay down de bars mighty low, , . ' '..j
An' tell old Hancock for to go, j,
. His days done pass, so we'll turn him out fto
grass, : . '
In de, fields whar dc politicians go. j
Ole Hancock wanted fur to be President, '
But he hadi-'t no eyes f ur to see ; . , '
So straight to de Democratic pasture he went,
Wharde thistles growed as high as his knee.
' He felt mighty hungry for de presidential cake,
. And he think dat he eat it arter while,
But hia teeth begin to ache, an' by 'n by de break, ?
. . When he fouu he was gnawin'on a file.
Chorus
'
He went to de polls and he foun' de Garfield votes '
Was a-pourin' on de Democrats like lain, . :
' He was light in de heft, and he got so badly left, ; .
: ' Dat he never ruu for President again. '
For Garfield come wid de bugle an de drum,
An' he stay by de polls 'twell day close.
Den aftah Mistah Hayes he went into de place ;: :
Whar all de good Ohio men goes.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.; .
DR. ORISSOM S ADDRESS. -; - -
Editor News : Allow me a little space, (as
one of jour constant and edified ' reader to,
notice the address recently delivered in VWik
mington before the Medical Society of tNorth
Carolina, by Df. Eugene Grissom. I find this
address in the July number of !& z'Nottk.
Carolina 3Iedical Journal. ' "
The North Carolina Medical Society is ;in
the twenty-eighth year of its existence." It' has
been from the first a very useful r and 'benefi
cent organization. It has achieved much -in.
the field of science, and conferred lasting bene
fits on society ; but I think I may say, vwith
strict tiuth, that the most edifying and useful '
of all its emanations' is this address byDr.
Grissom, in which he meets and explodes . thej
assumptions of such men as Darwin, Huxley,
Haeckel and others, and demonstrates ; the
truth of Divine Revelation. . Such defences t
Christianity, are always in order and are al
ways, I, regret to say, necessary. Gen. Cling
man's reply to these scientific infidels, whibli
appears as a . sort of preface to his recently;:
published volume , of . speeches, is a masterly
refutation of their doctrines, . and does credit
alike to his head and heart; but Dr. Grisscjnr
has gone more fully than he did into the argW
ment, and, meeting these writers on their own '
grounds, has overwhelmed them by the weight
of scientific authority which he adduces. It!is
not my purpose td' flatter Dr. Grissom, for he
does not need It, and Would not receive it, but
I wish heartily as one Christian man to thank
him for the powerful and conclusive paper read
by him before the Association in support jof
the great truths of Christianity. Neither should
I ask you to copy the scientific parts of the ad
dress, for that would be too great a demand on
your space, but I venture to request that you
will make room for the following paragraphs
with which Dr. Grissom closes his address
"My brethren of the medical art - in North
Carolina, in departing from the usual address
before your body, upon the familiar topics of
medical history or of technical improvement,
to ask you , to consider the grave inquiries
placed before you, 1 am obeying a voice frdm

deed would become of whatsoever things are of
good report, in an age which regarded the
theories of materialism as the highest truth !
What would be the wild pulse of a world
lashed to fever heat, in the mere dread and
terrible struggle for existence, that the fittest,
that is the fiercest and most brutal, may sur
vive ! '
"What a dissolving panorama of the destruc
tion of the noblest monument of man rises be
fore the mind. Religion, literature, philan
thropy and art slowly vanishing4 away confi
dence leaving the marts of trade; humanity
deserting the hospitals to loneliness and deso
lation; justice tearing the bandage from her
eyes and yielding her embrace to the strongest
might, aye, and last of all, love no longer fed
by the charities of life, bidding farewell to the
househoulds of earth, leaving the world, at
last, the paradise of beasts. t .
"In America, your profession stands at the
head of the social scale. What greater work
can it achieve than to meet the infection on the
threshold? This plague can do its deadly
work only, through moral corruption You,
whose 'hands are dedicated to the healing of
fellow-man, have the prophylactic in your
charge. . No higher duty can enlist your efforts
through life. And in that final hour of your
pilgrimage on earth a pilgrimage devoted to
the alleviation of suffering and distress as
you approach to put on that robe of immor
tality, which the materialist dreads more than
he despises, there will mingle with the grateful
prayers, of relieved humanity on earth, the
cheering announcement from the great Physi
cian of souls, whose truths you have believed
and whose commands you h'ave obeyed, Well
done, good ard faithful servant ; enter thou
into the joys of thy Lord.' " Raleigh News,
