It is given out that North Carolina, never was more prosperous than now, hut we are compelled to admit that the exhibitionmade at the recent State fair in Raleigh, did not come up to the expectations of the people. There seem ed to be less general interest manifest ed towards the success, of the fair, than for several years. CoLPolk, the Com missioner of Agriculture.deserves some credit for the exhibition made by him, in his department, and his exhibit was creditable as far as it went, but there is no denying the fact that he stood al most alone, in his self-imposed task of making such an exhibit of the agricul tural productions of the State as would make the cheek of the average North Carolinian blush with pride. If it were possible to get them togeth er, and we can not see why it is not, the productions of the soil of the Old North State, would rival that of any State in the Union. Since 1870, it has been known that she is the only one of the United States, which filled up every blank in the census report, and her cli mate and soil are of such a nature as to excel most of them in the growth of many of her productions. Why she does not show up more favorably at the annual State fairs, is past finding out. We do not say that the agricultural ex hibition is not creditable, but we do say that most of this exhibition is old, and was on the fair ground a year ago. Why do we not try a.ud keep up with our own progress " The machinery exhibit was not what it might have been made, and there was a general leanness about the whole thing, whioh as a North Carolinian, we were sorry to see. It is said that the people of Raleigh have come to the conclusion that a State fair can be held no where else, and they sit down supinely, and let it come along once a year, satisfied that whatever ducats are scattered, can but be gathered into their coffers. Towards a few of the citizens of Raleigh we know this to be false, but we cannot deny it for the great mass of her peo ple. Toward the fair a great many of them have been illiberal andjpenurioxis, and the failure of the last fair in a very large degree, could be traced to this luke- warmness. They have aroused a feel ing of disgust among the people from one end of the State to the other the sin be upon their own heads. Will they do better next time ? What Will He Do About It ? The Senatorial warfare is being renew ed, and some papers which deprecated the discussion which ensued upon the publication of Judge Merrimonfs card early last summer are now demanding to know if that gentleman and his friends propose to submit to the party caucus. It appears to us that The Ob server asked the same question sev eral months ago, and wrs reproved, along with its brethren who manifested the same spirit of mquisitiveness for "stir ring up strife." We are glad to see the paess of the State awaking to the fact that Mernmonism is ruining the De mocratic party. If we condone his crime how are we to arraign other bolt ers witn any show of consistency ? To our mind a bolter is a bolter, whether he be a township constable or a United States Senator. If one is guilty because he defies the party the other cannot de fy the party and be innocent. There are no two ways about this thing. A few politicians who have axes to grind along with their friends, may try to dodge the issue but the people have a fashion of looking questions of sort squarely in the face. Give Him a Rest. The State Su penntendent of Public Instruction is complaining of overwork. That is to say he has written to the treasurer of Edge combe county a letter from which the following extract is made : "Accept my thanks for the report. It is correct in every particular. If many more of our county officers would dis play such care in the preparation of their reports, the duties of this office would be more pleasant." This poor P. I. man aught to be given a holiday. ' So it turns out - that after all that hurrah and nourish of trumpets the Greenback party in Ohio in the last election polled only 38,000 of the 389,000 votes cast. This doesn't look a bit like there was danger of anybody being swallowed by anybody. The tidal wave didn't "tide." The Augusta Chronicle remarks that the United States marshals and district attorneys should move-' on Barnwell county, South Carolina, immediately. The Bepnblican convention winch met at Blackville last Friday endorsed all the Democratic nominees for the Gen jsral Assembly but two. The people of the whole South will grieve with ex-President Davis in fihe . loss of his son, Jefferson Davis, Jnj of yellow fever. He was only 21 years of age. Gov.

The Raleigh Advocate estimates the membership of the Methodist Church, South, in North Carolina at 70,000; all branches of Methodism at 115,000. At Wavnesville, Haywood county, there is a poplar tree 33 feet 3 inches in circumference, with bark 6 inches thick. There is a chestnut tree even larger.

Raleigh JSetos: The room of our worthy State Treasurer, Dr. Worth, at the Yarboro House, was entered one night during fair week and a valuable gold watch and considerable money was taken from under tne pillow upon wnicn the doctor was sleeping. Wilmington Review : The excitement over the nomination of a candidate for the Greenback party has been so com pletely chilled down, either by the weather or the" name of the nominee, that it will take a big political fire to get up a decent blaze between this and the 5th of November. The Roan Mountain Republican says that one of its neighbors called in to see it last week, and wanted to get the address of the Pope.

The trial of the Chapel Hill burelars ended Saturday.

My object m writing is to ascertain wnetner you nave not, in connection with your medicine business, an estab lishment where your patrons, similarly situated, could exchange these useless garments for others that would fit I think you ought to hare some thing of the kind, as it would be an inducement for many to use the Anti-Fat, who now object to using it, in consequence of the loss they would sustain in throwing aside valuable garments. Just turn this matter over in your mind. A. "clothing exchange" Is what you want in connection with your Anti-Fat business. Yours truly, Geo. Boyd. Pompeii.

Threatened Miscarriage, Chronic Con gestion, Inflammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sterility, and Female Weakness.
