During the r disoussion t on 'the
Legislative Appropriation bill in the
House, two of our Representatives
made some remarks on the revenue
service.' Mr. Scales said he wanted
the revenue service faithfully per-
formedbut there are bad Collectors
in the South and he would oppose
any increase of appropriation while
improper agents prostituted ' their
offices to political purposesi,
Mr. Davis said that the law in re
gard to detecting frauds was a dead
letter in Chicago and St. - Louis.
Large whiskey corporations in those
cities owned the internal revenue col
lectors, and the corruption was not so
much in the distiller as in the detec
tive. If honest men were sent as

It is now said that a majority of I.

.of the obnoxious laws can avail
nothing before 1880, and in the mean
time both Houses being Democratic
can repeal by separate bill, if they so
elect. .
The House adopted an amendment
requiring the Marshal or officer mak

with- violating, the revenue law, to

i Raleigh News Report Condensed.
.; ' , SENATE,
j Z Raleigh, Feb. 13, 1879.
The honr having arrived for the
special order, which was a bill to
abolish . the Geologieal Survey of
North Carolina, it was taken np. The
bill provides that all property and
information belonging to said office
shall be turned over to the Agricul-
tnral Department.
The committee to whom this bill
was referred suggested that it be '. so
-amended as to authorize the appro
priation of $2,000 to have the re
ports of the State Geologist pub
lished.
I Mr. Dortch was opposed to the
bill. He favored retrenchment and
reform, but thought the Senate was
acting too hastily in this matter.
j Mr. Merritt spoke in opposition to
the bill and in favor of the survey.
He offered the following subasitute:
; "A bill to be entitled an act to
amend sec. 13, chapter 2, Battle's
Revisal, so that it will read: "The
Department of Agriculture shall ap
point a suitable person to conduct,
under their supervision, a geological,
mineralogical aud agricultural survey
QfthejState; and to amend sec. 14,
last line, so that it will read Board
of Agriculture instead of Board of
Literature."
; Mr. Caldwell was in favor of the
bill to abolish the survey, as was also
Mr. Hoyle.
Pending further discussion upon
the bill, on motion of -Mr. Dortch,
the Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock
.

mentsperhaps of years, perhaps onl

per of various hue, were showered around
very indiscriminately. Some of the speci
mens transmitted through the postofflce
and otherwhiely, in this city, may be enu
merated in this wise:
A cake of soap a satire on uncleanli-
ness.
A set of false teeth An insinuation of
their need.
A cuspidore Useful to indiscriminate
spitters..
A phonograph For incessant talkers.
A box of cachou A corrective of bad
breath.
A cradle Useful to the newly wedded.
A washboard For indolent or aristo
cratic ladies.
A toothbrush Speaks for itself.
A pair of pants For the self-willed
wife.
A book First lessons in spelling and
grammar; conveys a delicate hint ot a de
ficiency.
A corset Insinuating the consequences
of tight lacing.
Onguent For incipient mustaehes.
The moat obnoxious valentines of the

Mr. E. H. Ward, who lives on the south
east corner of Seventh and Brunswick
streets, encountered one of the sneak
thieves of this city Wednesday afternoon,
in the open day. About 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, as he approached his house, he
saw a negro woman coming but of aside
door, but, as he went around the building.
she disappeared. He supposed she was oh
a begging expedition, but, upon , inquiry,
ascertained that none of his family had
seen her. Then light broke in upon him, and
an examination of' the interior of his
dwelling showed that the invader had
thoroughly ransacked one of the bed
rooms, leaving everything therein in the
utmost confusion. Very few if any arti
cles of value were secured, but thermistor
tune is that the prowler escaped and has
not been identified. Housekeepers should
on their guard.

A note from a gentleman in Pennsylva
nia informs us that Mr. William P. Buck-
ey, who has been extensively engaged, at
Potsttown, in that State, as an iron and
brass founder, and metallurgist, designs

Taleston Entertainment.
The multitude of cultivated people who
were present at the exhibition at this in
stitution last night was a most marked and
fitting tribute to the merit of the entertain
ment offered. The beautiful cantata of
The School Festival" was charmingly
presented by the pupils, and this was at
tested by rapturous and repeated applause.
Miss Ella Weill, as the Queen, was a . de
cided success, and her associates contested
with her creditably for the honors of the
evening.
"We'll have to mortage the Farm,' by
the "Family Circle," the exercises of the
Calesthenic Club, the emotional panto
mime, and the "Anvil Chorus." were all
, - ,
given in a style at once effective, admira
ble and skillful. Miss Amy Bradley, Su
perintendent of the school, and Miss Alice
M. Hoyt. Musical Directress, have reason
te be proud of the verdict which a very
Critical assemblyfgave: that the presenta
tions were almost faultless.

' We learn from Captain Garrason, of the
steamer Murcluson, that the tool raanufaci
tory of ; Walter Watson, Esq. , at Fayette
yiHe, was entirely consumed by fire on last
Thursday night. Only a few articles were
saved. The fire is supposed to have orig
inated from the carelessness of employes in
handling lights. It is understood that there
was no insurance on the building or con
