May to be a CoolJonth
May, in NortfTCarolina, according to
Prof. Walter II. Smith, of Montreal, in a
note to the Citizkk of April 12th, will
not be a favorable month. It has a
promise, he says,' of too much cool to cold
weather. J The Sntry. of the month is
likely to be bleak with local frosts North,
damaging, crops considerably. In the
South there will be cool rain storms.
This cool term will be follow d . by a
change for the better, with warm spring
weather changing again between ; the
10th and loth into a second term of cool
weather, with rains, local hail storms,
high winds and electrical disturbances.
These are likely to end in another term
of summer-like weather with decidedly
hot spells in sections. This also will be
followed by another cool term With rains
and hail storms, more like the beginning
of April than the end of May, Altogether
an unpropitioua month, with many severe
and rapid chances of weather and tem-
Eerature. The latter will likel v register
elow the mean. May wil likely end.

Yesterday? afternoon Mr.iPavi? spread
his canvass in the Court. House Square
to emblazon some suitable attractive de
vices Wthe introdacfaoribf the ' coming
appearance of the Company on the stage.
It was marvellous toi witness the skill
that handle the brush'; more marvellous
still to see1 the phantasies - of the brain so
soon take shape - and; fiubstance. And
soon there grew out of the canvass, under
the very eye of the spectator, the bodily
presentation" of characters and nation
alties, faces that embodied the humor
of the Celt, the broad farce of the African,
the glowing inspiration of the poet or
the martial fervor of the soldier; all so
happily combined and blended as to take
the character of a studied picture, rather
than the improvised play of sporting ge
nius. Passers by will judge for themselves,
and will agree Nwith us in the estimate of
this sunbeam of .art. .

Upper room is a very- pleasant lounge
in a warm afternoon, as, seated in one of
his luxuriant.pl ush lined reclining armed
chairs, one can lazily look around at the
elegant stock around him, or pass away
insensibly into a nap. The temptation
is great, for the crouches or these armed
chairs are very luxurious and suggestive
of indolent repose. But we would not
ad viae' all to 'j follow the .example kindly
permitted to us by friends McMullen and
Blair; for while we had half an eye to a
nap, we had half an eye to business.
While they were spreading out roll after
roll of elegant carpeting, and, after selec
tion, going to work' deftly to lay out,
match and cnt a handsome pattern se

surveyed the premises, and took in with
well rewarded scrutiny all that lay be

wardrobes, bureaus, tables, chairs, all or
fine workmanship and in many styles;
mattresses, all the devices and styles for
spring beds, bed steads, parlor and bed

complete and very elegant stock, all of

by proper management; , while, I
knowt that they can 'fail at that or
other Ihings by improper manage
ment All of our farmers who raise
their own isuppliefl and -had -Axrop
of tobacco in addition, and cultiva
ted and handled it right, are making
money, and not hurting their lands.
I know many, having concluded to
rely " entirely on tobacco, leaving
other things out, have failed, but this
was more on account of the man
than the crop.
My advice is, let every tanner
prepare for full, supplies for home
use, over to spare- if possible, - and
then add a few acres of tobacco and
cultivate and handle well, and our
countro and people will find the to
bacco crop a most important factor
in the up-building of the section.
