&r. of tlie News and Observer.
;; Greensboro, N. C, Ftb. 6.
; Greensboro is reveling in the midst
of an era of progressiveness and pub
lic spirit. Her citizens have caught
the inspiration from sister towns and
are showing their determination to
boom the town bj their prompt and
decisive action. Having settled the
question of a Chamber of Commorce,
some enterprising citizens are now J
discussing the subject of a cotton
factory, and will probably follow suit
with Raleigh and Charlotte by set
ting the project on foot. Col. Thomas
McMahon contemplates shortly re
moving his mammoth spoke and han
dle works to Richmond, Va.i and it
is proposed to utilize the building
now occupied by him as a cotton fao
tory, for which purpose it is most ad
mirably adapted. A project is also
on foot to form a stock company for
tbe purpose of continuing the spoke
and handle busineo, after Col. McMa
hon's departure. In that event the
cotton factory will be located else
where, but its final establishment here
is a mere question of time.
' Work is progressing rapidly on the
steam flour and r eirl hominy mill,
and some of tha machinery for the
same has already arrived.
The Graud Lodge of Knights of
Pythias will hold its annual conclave
in this city Tuesday, the 14th inst.
The booksellers of the State will
also hold a convention here the lGlh
init. for the purposo of organizing
the North Carolina Booksellers' Board
of ; Trade. Greensboro seems to be
developing a remarkable popularity
as a place for State conventions.
The announcement that ' the new
graded school building, is completed
at last, and that school will begin on
the 15th inst., is the occasion of an
immense amount of satisfaction to
the town in general. The old build
ing having been torn down to give
place to the new, there has been no
session of the school since last June.
: The "West End Club," which has
undertaken to raise funds for the es
tablishment of an invalids' home and
hospital will render, as the first of its
series of entertainments, the "Little
Tycoon." The club is now practic
ing for the occasion, and will bring
into requisition some splendid tal
ent.; A colored man named Giles Pleas

few days ago by swallowing . two
ounces of laudanum, but by tne time

Mr. Hoar, from the select commit

tion. The Blair educatic i-.il bill was'laid
before the Senate, but was laid
aside temporarily, and Mr. Piatt

upon the President's message. He
argued that the President is a free

Several times, probably, during ibo

The only hack-sot that the

Berlin, Feb. 6. The report that
Prince Bismarck would report on the
military bill drew a great crowd to
the Reichstag today, and long before
the day's business was begun the gal
leries were filled. Prince William of
Prussia and Prince Leopold, Bon of
the late Prince Frederick CharleB, oc
cupied the court box, while, the
diplomatic galleries were crowded
with foreign representatives and their
families. '
The House proceeded with the first
reading of the military loan bill . and
Frince Bismarck arose to address the
House. He said: "I do not believe I
can add anything to the true state of
the case regarding the bill. My ob
ject is to speak of the general
situation of Europe. I may 'con
fine myself to referring to what
I said on tbe same subject over

has elected a peace-loving president
and a pacific disposition has pre

am of no other opinion than whein I
Eaid that we have to apprehend1 no

must now be judged from press com

the firm expect, to have every aepari
men'in operation within the next few
days. The mills and yards are close
ly guarded by sentinels and police
men and no person, nos evei wji

he can prove he has business there.
Thestrikers are very bitter and anoth
nr iihlliKinn in feared when the non

Thofe who have tne coolest neaaa bu-
vise the workingmen not to moiest
the Colored men, but others cry for

SHE IS BESTtNQ EASY IS THE FOCBTEEXTU
WEEK OF HEB SLCMBEB.
San Francisco Examiner.
Miss Laura Webster, who went to
sleep last November, is still slumber
ing She haa lontrer waking intervals
than a month ago, when the case was
ttrot manA nublic. She lies with her
avaa rlnaed even when conscious, and
and only gives evidence that Bbe is in
a waking state wnen sne is epuiveii ty. i
She seems to be gaining slightly in
strength, and eats more readily than
before. Her appetite is not so capri
cious and she tAes whatever food is
provided.She Still signifies her prefer
for certain articles of nourish
ment, and they are provided for her
when it is possible. The doc'ors
have ceased their attendance. They
say that they can do nothing more
for her, and that time and nursing
are all that are needed to effect a
cure.
WhAn an F.vaminer reoorter called
yesterday, the sleeping girl was rest
ing quietly with closed eyes, as
tVinno-h in a natural slumber. She
looked better than a month ago, and
there was a Blight color in her cheeks
and Hds. Her family say that she
had said nothing in her waking mo-
menu except to asic ior sometumg iu
eat. They had not been able to find
out whether she was aware of what
went on around her during her peri
ods of apparent unconsciousness.
The long sleep has now lasted four
I teen weeks, and shows no sign of ap
proaching an end.
