Last week Governor McLean of North Carolina and a group of "influential citizens" offered Mr. Borglum the cliff adjoining Chimney Rock for another memorial to the Confederacy. Mr. Borglum inspected, professed extreme pleasure. The spot chosen for the North Carolina memorial has long been a resort which has lately been "improved" and modernized with the addition of golf links, etc. With the appearance of Mr. Borglum's giant sculptures this spot will become indeed civilized, although situated in the ruggedest country.

Smaller sargassum drifts are found north of Hawaii, southeast of New Zealand, southwest of Australia...
...agreed that young Charles was the least "impressive" of the three Mayos. Perhaps his appearance prejudiced, for he was not genial. No ruddy jester was he, with a nervous eyelid and a midwifian ribaldry to cheer the anxious parent in her distress. Far from it. William J. was a spot that way, but Charles was a doleful fellow, "with a face pulled out of tallow." That was a long time ago.
