Ta put plpd, this board has very largely'irt ItsUAnAs h welfare of the eople o the fWf f if it were given the facilities nectsrfary to enable it to employ judiciously the means which it might devise for the protection of the health of the masses an excellent retmt) njiht bt pceived in an improvement of our sanitary con dition and icjiase(V'l)falthfu1is rer suiting therefrom.' Our attentfo)i H W. 4f !"&h to this subject by an interesting article in the North Carolina Presbyterian, which says among other things, speak ing of the, board of health, that they "WOIIU Dve I wfeUI Jf! 4heir tellow citizens, dou&jio more than call a(ttu hi effect' of drinking water ujm t)er siuiifcujf condition of our rfecqfle!' The Wril,' 'the Presbyte rian adds, very shortly after its or ganization, procured statistics as to the condition and character of the wells and latrines of the.citjt Qf jyilmington, and their relations "to each other. In prosecution of these inquiries, the spe cial case of a family in Wilmington was noted. The health of tire family re ferred to' was not very good, and after sevCTa(enaiigetf in' the premises upon which they resided, without result in improving health, the water from the well on the lot was suspected, and a specimen of it, tightly corked, was sent t) Dr. A. R. Ledoux for analyzation. The following is his reply : The well is without doubt most dan gerously poisonous. Not only is the water filled with bacteria, but there are other living organism feeding upon the animal matter present, whose move ments can be seen with the naked eye. There are no unusual inorganic con stituents present, but the organic mat ter renders it verv unhealthy. Comparative tests give the following, result: M) f If we represent pure water by 100O, the organic impurities in the sample biing down its qualities to. about 100. i tmrs sincere iv, A. R. LEIXM X. j It-isriiirr-to imagine anything of more' vUkl importance to the people I than the character of the water which they drink. Much of it is undoubtedly impure, and it may be said with perfect safety trratf thh wafers of many" wells, especially in the cities and larger towns of the State, are thoroughly poisoned, andnjayjrf3oind fr)so jnorh'tbe valu able auxiliary, if not the prime cause, of deadly pestilence. The prosecu tion throughout the length and breadth of the State of the enquiries begun at Wilmington, is highly desirable and i nportant, and it is to be hoped will be instituted between this time and the beginning of the heated term next sum mer. Commenting upon the develop ments in "Wilmington the North Can Una Medical Journal reaches th is rea sonable conclusion : From this lesson about our drinking water, we may work out theproblems of our" water supply. Indeed, we had b9tte$ say we must work it out,, or be prepared for- disastrous outbreaks of diphtheria and typhoidal disease And the Journal further adds this information, which should be gratify ing, and makes an appeal which should be heeded : It is this and like matters that our State board of health has undertaken to elucidate. It is the design of this board to investigate every town in the State as soen as we have means at our command; it is our hope that with .wide-spread information we may be the means of improving the, sanitary conditions of our towns. Let the cities and towns of the State come to the help of our board. If the State seals up its treasury against the call for or ganized help, let wi r towns act inde pendently and save themselves at least. TEE LEGISLATURE AD ITS CRIilt?. There is some of wisdom and much of folly in the present General Assem bly, but glancing back now "over its proceedings, as the session riears its close, we are prepared to pronounce the bpdy,in our humble judgment, up to the average of the General Assemblies which have met in North Carolina since the war. If any senator or repre sentative now at Kaleigh went to the capitol with an expectation that by any thing it could possibly do the legisla ture would succeed in winning general -approbation, or in giving'general satis faction, such member, by this time, we aspect, begins' to realize that; he was sadly mistaken. The times are cen sorious. Fault-finding is epidemic. In respect of public men and public meas urestherdisppsjtpn. to abuse seems to hare toenae, 'morbid. Some onstitu tionai 'conventions,, and the cbhstitt tions they make, nominating conver. tions and the men they nominate, legis latures and fli'e''ltnx'8 they enact, city councils and the- ordinances they pas?, corporation directories and the regula tions they establish, governors, judges, sheriffs, clerks have been so much carp ed at, complained of; and condemned, that in addressing almost any represen tative man or public officer, we might with propriety say, as Hamlet says to Ophelia: 'B3 thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow Thou shalt no escape calumny. -"Of the $45,000,000 of 'fractional -paper currency issued by the TJnited States there remains outstanding about $16, 003.000, of which amount about $2,000,- 000 is in three an fire rcent pieces. It is now estimated that there will ulti mately fee reduced only $4,000,000 of the I $16,000,000, leaving $12,000,000 as profit to the government, that amount being lost or destroyed t "C." calls thaVtrouble at Raleigh be ! tWeeh'the newspapers and the .deputy j sheriffs case, of constructive mileage. CHAS. R. JOfllES, .. THE BATES SWELL RECEPTION. riie newspapers continue to speak out with great freedom in abuse or ridicule of the recent reception at the White House when Mr. and Mrs. Hayesi "at iempted" to quote the sarcasm of the Washington Republican "to elevate the tone of society." The Sandusky Register, 1 a paper printed in the United States of Ohio, has its Irish -up very considerably, and the Wasriihgt6n Republican, with an appTbffngr nod, crtpierthis utterance j of its: :, , , . , , We advise Mrs. Hayes as a "personal friend not to make a fool of herself, nor jitjtempt to put on airs in this country. She wad not born an aristocrat, and has Sqt the make up of one, no matter what isguise she resorts to to play that part. Ap for Mr. Hayes, he ought to remem Mr that Private-Jones is as much of a gentleman as Captain Jinks. He hap pened to be an officer himself only by accident, ana is rTesiuenu oiny uy acci dent. If Mr. Evarts wishes to play aris tocrat let him do it on his own floor, and not in the White House, where ev ery man is a man, no matter what his rank. Codfish aristocracy in the White House will not be popular with decent people, who measure men by their worth, and not by their rank or station. The newspapers, however, are not competent witnesses against the Hayeses in this case, because the Hayeses treated the newspaper men on this occasion after such fashion as to make them all mad. The tickets issued to the press carried the bearers only as far as the reception room of the White House, and there Charles Nordoff, who gets his .$12,000 a year for writing when and what he pleases, Gen. Boynton and the like, loafed around on the edges of the charmed circle in company with the hackmen, footmen, porters and the like ! dead! Of course they were mad! It is true they belong in a better class of so ciaty, have'more sense and as much right in the White House as Hayes; but the Hayeses were running that enter tainment and if the newspaper men had not wanted to hang up in the reception room, why then, they could have stayed out. Free country this ; if Mr. Hayes wants to invite newspaper men to asso ciate with hackmen he has a right to do it; if they don't want to they needn't. "What's the use of their kicking about it, though? and blabbling out, as the Washington correspondent of the Cleve land Leader did, that at the reception a prominent personage of title, who of course came under the rule of admis sion, was accompanied by his mistress, and that a woman who not long since figured in n scandal case was also pres ent i STATE SE'.VS Mr. Jesse Jones, of Yadkin, aged 80, is dead. There are 515 voters in Salisbury township. The phonograph is in Raleigh and the natives are much stirred up on the sub- ject. Bud liiggs has been jugged in Salem for beating a bov over the head with a bottle. Hon. Kemp P. Battle is to lecture at an early day lefore the Wilmington Historical Society. The Yadkin river got $20,000 in the river and harbor bill instead of $2,000 as previously reported. A wild cat is destroying large mini lers of fowls in Harnett township. New Hanover county.

"Wayne county will be one hundred years old next November, and the Golds 'boro Messenger suggests a centennial celebration. Twenty negroes, mostly able-bodied men, left the neighborhood of Moores ville, Iredell county, on last Sat unlay, for Arkansas. The graded school of Fayetteville has eight teachers and five hundred pupils, with an average attendance of ninety per cent. It is patronized by all classes.

Goldsboro Messenger : Wild turkeys seem to be quite plentiful in the New Hope section of this county. On Satur day last, Mr. Benjamin Parks killed five fine goblers at one shot, out of a gang of eight. The five weighed 83 pounds. The Wednesday previous Mr. Parks killed .three in the same neigh borhood. Reidsville Times: During the snow last month Miss Emma Scales heard of a poor woman who had not a stick of wood. She said to some of the school girls that if Edmund, the colored man, was on the lot, she would send the lady some in the handcart. Two of the girls at once offered to haul the wood them selves. Miss Emma consented, and they loaded the cart and hauled the wood a half mile in the Bnow to one of God's poor. , What town can beat us on girls ? Salisbury Watchman: We learn that the amendments proposed to be made in the charter ot Salisbury; re strict the limits of the town to six squares from the public square, each way; limits the galary of the mayor to $250; allows special taxes on livery stables, sewing machine agents, and drummers who sell to consumers ; al lows the' commissioners to devote the poll tax to public schools white polls to white schools, and colored polls to colored schools. , An Alignment Maide by Bishop Puree!!.

W.ishington, March ".Secretary Thompson will not be able to visit Charleston to inspect the harbor im provements. Secretary McCrarv will visit that city but owing tcr "the extra r session or Congress does not know when he can make the visit The Secretary of the Treasury to-clay presented to the cabinet a report from Assistant Secretaiy French in support of the treasury order of February 26th last, prohibiting the importation of meat cattle from England. Some of the members of the cabinet at that time believed that one of the effects of that order would be a disturbance of our commercial relations with England. The treasury has, however, given the subject full consideration and Mr. French's report wras adopted by the cabinet to-day. The order of the de partment will therefore not be revers ed. The cabinet also considered the ap pointment of members of the national board of health under the bill passed during the closing hours of Congress. The bill provides that the board shall consist respectively of one member rep resenting the treasury department, one the navy, one the war and one the department of justice and seven to be appointed by the President. It was de cided that Surgeon General Wood worth, of the marine hospital service, should be the representative of the treasury, Medical Director Francis M. Gannell, of the navy, Solicitor General Phillips, of the department of justice, and As sistant Surgeon John S. Billings, of the War Department.

The friends of Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina, say he has the entire support of his State delegation in Congress for the secretaryship of the Senate and will have additional strength in other quarters. FRANCE. Impeachment or the May Ministry Gain or the Left In the Cabinet-Lack of Resolution in the Government. Paris, March 7. The committee of inquiry have decided in favor of im peachment of the ministers of the 16th of May the DeBroglie-Fouton cabinet and the ministrv of General Granaudel I)e Kochebouet by a vote of twenty-one to seven. IiCndon, March 7. The recent French ministerial changes give the pure Left exactly half the posts in the cabinet M. Lepere, minister of the interior, is an advanced Gambettist ; M. Wadding- ton, president 01 tne council and tor- eign minister, M. Say, minister of finance, M. Jeaneguiberry, minister of marine, and Gen. Gristy, minister of war, may be considered as of the Left Centre. This is a considerable shifting of the ministerial centre of gravity in favor of the Left. In the debate on the merchant ship ping bill yesterday, M. Lepere stated that the government is in favor of bounties 011 ship building but not on equipment; J he Junes Fans correspondent re marks that the government's agreeing to the bounties at the last moment is another proof of their lack of resolu tion, and is a bad omen for their firm ness relative to commercial treaties. The Chamber of Deputies yesterday voted 225,000 francs for participation in the Australian International Exhibi tion. Henri LaCoy, banker and president of the tribunal' of commerce at Tarbes, has fraudulently bankrupted and ab sconded. Many small local creditors are affected.

The British plague commission will leave for Astrachan Monday. Queen Victoria will embark at Portsmouth on the 2oth aboard the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert for Cherbourg. The queen will probably be absent about a month. Dr. Rutts' condition is unchanged and very precarious. A majority of the sailors who went on a strike at Liverpool still hold out for higher wages.

SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. ' Hon. Elihu Burrett, the distinguished philanthropist, reformer and philologist, is dead. The parliamentary discipline bill has been rejected in the German Reichstag. The Deatli-ltate oi Our country Is getting to be fearfully alarming, the average of life being lessened every year, with out any reasonable cause, death resulting general ly from the most insignificant origin. At this ' sea son of the year especially, a cold Is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook tbe dangers attending it and often find too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thousands lose their lives in this way ev ery winter, while had Boschee's German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Boschee's German Sybup has proven itself to be the greatest discov ery of its kind in medicine.
