This remedy Is not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must le kept atray frm fire or heat to avoid danger of explosion, nor is it an untried experi ment that may do more harm than good. Pain Killer has been la constant use for forty years, and the universal testimony from all parts ef the vrerld Is, It never fails. It mot enly effects a permanent cure, but It relieves pa la almost Instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, It Is safe la the hands of the most inexperienced. The record of cures by the use ot Txnt Killxb irould fill volumes. The following extracts from letters received show what those -who have tried it think: Edgar Cady, Owutonna, Minn., says : About . year lnoe my wife became subject "to Mvere suffering' from rheumatism. Our resort was to the Patji Kii.i.kb, which speedily relieved her. Charles Powell writes from the Sailors' Home, London: 1 naa De afflicted three yean with neuralgia and Tiolent pm of toe stemach.

The hall leadinz to the conservato ries looked In the distance from the east room to be a veritable . study in crimBon and green. The carpet was or the richest shades or aaxK reas, wiin an attractive borderinp;, and the wall was lined around with seemingly the loveliest specimens of rare flowers. A DISTINGUISHED AND HANDSOME GROUP. - Tocommete the picture it required to have taken the glance at it just as the receiving party was descending the private stairway (which is in this hall) to take their places in the blue parlor, the ladies in their handsome dresses and the tall, commanding figure of the Chief Executive as he followed .with his son and daughter, and accompanied dv Mr. seveiion urown, or me state Department. The group as they formed into line in the blue parlor was as distinguished and handsome a one as ever stood to refceive the N"ewx ear's gre Mr, reetlng there. The Secretary of State, . Jb relinehuvsen, introduced nis as sociates in the cabinet and the mem bers of the foreign legations With gen tlemanly ease and grace. .Later Mr. Sevellon Brown, the chief clerk of the State Department, made tne introduc tions. THE PRESIDENT'S APPEARANCE. President Arthur was attired in a handsome black suit, Prince Albert coat, and wore a lavender tie and lav ender gloves. His manner of receiving was dieniQed. tnougn agreeaDie ana easy, but to well-known persons and his own particular mends ne was very cordial. He impressed every one with the polish of his manners, but as if the cares of state weighed heavily. He did not care to give the occasion an unusually festive nature, and that is the reason why the gas was not lighted, as the household is of course yet in mourning. The invited guests who attended the reception receired black-margined cards of invitation, as well as those issued to a limited tew to witness it. The quarter hour spent in in the red parlor by the foreign repre sentatives passed quickly in the ex change of the compliments of the day. THE PECULIAR MAKE-UP OF THE LINE. The make-up of the line was very peculiar. Peer and vassal, rich and poor, well-dressed or covered with the attire of the mechanic, came to the President in groups. Now and then the countryman could' be distinguished by his butternut suit, ana immense mittens, some of whom forgot them selves so much as to keep them on their hands. There were some people who were so ignorant of propriety that they wore no collars. While these public receptions are by no means full-dress affairs, and people in business suits are welcomed, as much as if they were at tired in the height of fashion, it is always understood that callers should be dressed decently. Some of the call ers to-day violated this rule very much. NO EXTRA PRECAUTION. A line of policemen extended from the main door through the ball and into the blue room as is usual on such occasions, but many supposed, in view of recent events and the talk about "cranks," it was an extra precaution, and with that idea it was a subject of talk. But there were no more police men than have been there for the past fifteen years, if indeed as many. There were two or three detectives on the portico duriner the first hour of the re ception, but the coolness in the atmos phere drove them away after that. LADIES INJURED. Towards the latter part of the recep tion there was much crowding about the portico, and several ladies were seriously crushed, one being injured so much that she was taken into one 01 the private rooms of the house for ne cessary treatment and a chance to allay her excitement and nervousness in consequence of the jostling that she received. There were more callers than at any similar reception since Gen. Grant s first term, and nearly twice as many as during the last New- Years reception held Dy president Hayes. ' THE DOORS CLOSED. When two o'clock arrived the order to close the doors was given, though they were not closed for some time after wards. As it was, many were unable to sea the President, thouzh thev had stood patiently in the cold for one hour 1 . ? m iu.i : :l n or BO waiuug iur mat privilege. AFTER THE OFFICIAL RECEPTION. After the official part of the recep tion was concluded all the ladies except Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Logan and Miss Arthur left him. These ladies re mained with him until the reception closed, the President's son standing with them. There were no introduc tions to the ladies, and they had to stand the eazine of those who filed by a duty which is not at all a pleasing one when the callers are as promis cuous as those who make up the crowd like that which passed through the White House to-day. LIVELY SCENES IN THE EAST ROOM. The east room, which of course is larger than all the other rooms on the lower noor or the w nite Mouse com bined, and historical from the many distinguished Catherines that have taken place there, was the scene of much lire to-day. it was kept crowded nearly all of the time; so much so. that locomotion was impeded at times. It never looked better than it does now, the pew furniture being bright and handsome, nut it was seldom colder; wraps for the ladies and over coats for the sentiemen were not at an uncomfortable, and most of those who spent the time there to-day, "admiring and being admired," wore them. One could hardly imagine, though it is one of 'the best authenticated legends of the house, that the time eyer waa when the now elezantlY and handsomely fur nished room, ws used as a drying room, and vet it is the fact. It was in the east room that Mrs. President Ad ams had her clothes hung to dry. Its only ornamentation those days was here and there a elotbea line strung across the room. Mrs, Adams thought the architect bad made a great mistake when he set aside nearly "one-half of the lower floor and called it a room," and then the time would never come when it would be necessary to hold those who visited the White House. The time has come, and the architect, if he made a mistake at all, made a mistake in not making it even larger. THE PRESIDENT PLEASED. The President was as much interest ed in the scenes that transpired about him during the day as almost any one of his callers. The 'whole thing waa a novelty to biro, and was his first expe rience in that direction, to ene or tne oldest attaches of the Executive &$an, sion he said, after the Reception was closed 1 1 Well bow - aid my reception compare with others that nave taken place here ?" On being told that it was much larger, than any of Mr. Hayes's and exceeded In numbers any of Gen. Grant's except one, lie saM: "Then I hare reason to be thankful for- the compliment. It was;a very'bleasant occasion to me." Tbouzh'- President Arthur has been a frequent visitor to this city in bast yearsV he told a gentle man yesterday that he bad never made a Sew Years can at the White House, though he had often made up his mind to do so. He said he: came to1 this city some years ago for that particular pur pose, but something. transpired which prevented him from 'carrying out his intention. - THEPUBLIO RECEPTION. The reception for the public began promptly at one o'clock. Even a half hour before the time numbers-had be gun to gather about the outer gate. By one o'clock this number had, assumed the proportions of a crowd. The line was formed soon afterwards and in fifteen minutes . ittfiached from the door of the White House almost to the Treasury Departmefejj - WHOLESALE HJSHAKTXG, Mr. Brown did not5 introduce each one, and frequently as many as four or five shook the hand of the President without the formality of an introduc tion. The ladies, however, were intro duced by 'name. This was done by each one announcing their name to Mr. Brown as they reached him, he, in turn, presenting them. President Ar thur was particularly pleased with bis j avenue callers, and lifted many up in his arms when presented. The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. Raleigh News and Observer. The agreement lately made by Dr. Cancdo and the commissioners ap pointed by the Legislature to sell the State's stock in the above named cor poration is too lengthy for us to print in extenso. We have compiled a synop sis of the most important provisions. The State sells its 5,500 shares of stock to the New York and Southern Bail- 1 m, r l.'j.i.: way ana a eiegrapmc vouaoiiuauon Company, to be held as the present private stockholders hold their stock, and the said company agrees to pay within sixty days after the ratification of the agreement fifty-five thousand dollars to the Treasurer of the State and one hundred thousand dollars to Presi dent Gray, to be used in paying off the floating debt of the company. Within twelve months from the rati fication the road is to be completed and equipped in good running order from Kaemont, near the south Carolina line, by way of Shoe Heel and Fayetteville to Greensboro. It is to be built and equipped, within two years, in like manner from Greensboro to Mt Airy, passing by Brace's X Roads,' Walnut Cove and Germanton. Within three years it is to be fully completed from Fayetteville to Wilmington, and up the valley of the Yadkin by way of Wilkes boro to Patterson, in the county of Caldwell, and also through the county of Surry to Ore Knob, according to the provisions 01 the charter. Within thirty day3 alter the pay ment of the $155,000 the work is to be gin, with sufficient force and material. and be continued until completed. On the payment of the $155,000 the certifi cate for the stock sold is to be assigned on the books of the company, but the new certificate is to be deposited with the Treasurer of the State as trustee for the State and for the purchaser, and if the purchaser fails to complete the road in three years then it forfeits all interest in the stock and it reverts to. the State,, the purchaser losing entirely the $155,000 pam. The mortgage bonds of the railroad company are also to be deposited with the State Treasurer, and are to be delivered up for sale only with the approval of the Governor, and then in amounts not greater than $300, 000 and upon an affidavit that the pro ceeds are necessary to pay for work done or material delivered. The pur chasers are to vote the stock at all meetings of the railroad company. If the $155,000 is not paid within sixty days after the ratification of the agreement the sale falls through, but Dr. Canedo has twenty days to get his syndicate to sign it, and then the rail road company nas twenty days to ac cept it. If Dr. Canedo does not return the articles signed in twenty days the agreement is not to be binding on the State. The guage of the road is not to be changed. A failure to begin work in thirty days, or to complete the different parts of the road recording to this agreement, subjects the purchaser to a penalty of 352,500 per montn as long as tne aeiaurt continues, which, however, the Gover nor can remit in his discretion, and if not remitted the penalties are a lien on the stock, which shall be sold to satify the same. And if the entire road is not built according to the contract the en tire stock is forfeited to the State. Such is the substance of the agreement. It appears, therefore, that the first thing to be done is for Dr. Canedo to get the signature of his associates; the next the acceptance of the contract by the railroad company. These have to be done within forty days. Then with in sixty days the money is to be paid, and within thirty days more the work is to begin. If things work right, there fore4 within four months the purchas ing company will have its hands at work finishing the road. mm I 1 i STATE NEW&v Greensboro Bugle: The ice on the ponds is, over two inches thick and par ties are skating to-day.
