A forty ton steamer, built entirely t GoltUbrfro, nas been pui on rne Neuse river by Robert-Hicks, who will run his boat from New Berne to Emithfield. The wouder is that no one before Mr. Hicks ww willing to risk anything in such an enterprise on the Neuse. Two men in a slaughter house in Chicago became angry, when one threw a beef's foot at the other. He return ed the assault by throwing his trim ming knife, which struck his adver sary iu the throat, the point striking the spinal column and sticking fast in )t until drawn . out at the hospital, where the man is expected to die. The New York Star has been array ing facts and arguments to prove that the Postmaster General is using his office to promote 'his private business. and declares that the President should turn him ont as the only means left for clearing himself of a public scan- dal. But how can the President disJ grace a man who contributed or raised .$500,000 to secure his election? The Raleigh News-Observer publish- es about a column under the head of 'A. . Few Fashion Notes and Sugges tions for Young Men." Glancing over it we were horrifiedSat the follow ing: "Stubby mustaches treated with pomatum will be barred.' ' 'Chewing igum will not be used under any cir Cutrstfinces. If this is not an inva .Biort of personal rights, what is" it? The Sioux Indians. A commission has Been appointed to negotiate with the Sioux Indians for a portion of their territory.

Washington 'letter. . - ; (From our regular correspondent.) WAsHiictiTOX, April 12,1l8S0. : S rnator Jolin S!ierm.in and the oth er RsjiuHiciins of the Ohio Congres sional deletion are -it d :r pjints. The Senctor. with his "usual greeqj nes, wants the other . f el lowsf to. allow him to name the Ohio men who shall have Federal patronage. This one sided wajr of giving the prizes is strongly objected to by Congressmen McKiri ley, Butterworth, Burton andothers who have friend they wish to provide for, and the result is that Ohio is getting left in the distribution of their official pap. ' Among the disgusted Ohio Republi cans is Alphonso Hart, who came here prepared to go to work as Solicitor of internal Revenue, a position which he says Attorney General Miller tendered him and which he accepted several weeks ago, But he has not gone to work, owing to the objection of a man greater than "me too Miller. Bjhs Quay has a man who he wishes put into that position, but nothing has yet been done, and as Qua? is said to have gone home in a pet last week, perhaps ! Hart, may get it after all. lhe new Republican officials are very prompt in getting sworn in, so sis to let their salaries begin. Then they take their own time about beginning to work. I -was forcibly reminded .of this when Rolert P. Porter, editor of the New York Press, turned up here two days after he was appointed Sup erintendent of the Census, was sworn in, rushed down, caught an after noon train and returned to his private business in New York city. By the way, Porter, who is one of the most rabid advocates of a protective tariff, is an Englishman, ana is said to have written just as rabidly in favor of free trade until he was bought over by the protectionists. If Mr. Cleveland had appointed an Englishman to as impor tant a position as this all the Republi can papers in the country would have been yelping at him and charging him with all sorts of crimes. But then you see it makes a great difference whose ox is goied. The notorious colored ex-Congressman Sin dls, of South - Carolina came very near heing the first negro appoint ed ti office by PresidentHarrison and he may be yet the first. He is au ap plicant for the position of Collector of customs at Beaufort, South Carolina, and it had been about decided to ap point.him when a telegram was re ceived from his State asking that the matter be held up until certain charges" against Mr. Small could besubnii tied to the President. If the latter thinks to strengthen his party in the South by appointing such men as Smalls to of fice he is sadly misinformed as to the status of public opinion in that sec tion. ' Representative Henry Cabot Lodge, or Massachusetts, is a very fqrtun ite man. He says': "I am not overburd ened by office-seekers. The people of my State do not seem to be anxious for much. In my district there h:is not yet been aingle endeavor to re move even a postmaster." r- All the arrangements have been com pleted for the trip of the President and Cabinet to New York next Monday, to Uke part in the Centenial Celebration. They leave here at a verv early hour, arriving in Elizabeth, New Jersey in time to tike breakfast with the Gov ernor of New Jersey. They then tro iu Xiuzaoeinport where they take boats which are to take them over exactly the same route that George Wash ington went just ou3 hundred vear.s ago. , Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Tichenor is mad, he is; in . fact verv mad, and does not care who knows it. He had a candidate for the position of appraiser of the port of New York, and the President appointed another fal low. The only consolation fht Mi. Tichenor has is the fact that the ai pointment does not please the New York Senators any better than it does himself. For years it has been the ensfom fn consider the four years commissions of Federal officials as besrinnina from th date of their confirmation. Now. in order to make vacancies. the RpnnKlL can Congressmen are bringing pres sure to bear on President Harrison to have an order issued to consider these commissions as dating from the oriri. nal appointment. The President. hu referred the question to "me too" Mil lerforan opinion, and the chances are that all those officials appointed by Mr. Cleveland in the spring and sum mer of 1885 will find out that their commissions are considered as harino' expired, notwithstanding that it was in some cases a year after appointment before the Senate confirmed 4heui. lbe Kepoblicans want the offices' and not having any good excuse foPremov ing the incumbents they have hit upon niis scneme.

So the first result of Mr. Harrison's project to break up the solid South is a d vision of his-own party into three distinct parts like all Gaul in the first of the States in which he begins operation. "This can hardly be regard ed as an auspicious beginning. We are glad to note, by the way, that the protection conferences had none of what are known as Democrat ic protectionists among its members. So may it ever be. An Old Landmark Gone. Darie Times. Sir. Ephram Gait her, who was one of the men named iu the Act incorporating the town ol jviocfcsville at the sessions of the General Assembly of, 1838-3' died at his residence, in pur town, pu Wednes day , he 17th, at 3 o'clock and 15 min utes, p. m.f aed 80 years, 4 months and 4 days. Mr. Gaither, together with Thomas Mc Neely, John Mcltoriej Lemuel Bingham and James F. Martin, was the first Towu Commissioner of Mocksville after its in corporation, lie filled several offices under the old regime of officers. He was elect ed as a member to the House of Com mons in. 1858. He was elected clerk of the Couaty Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Session in 1861 and tiliedsever.il offices until the adoption of the Constitu tion in 1868. He was elected Register of Deeds in 1869 and remained in office un til 1882, when he was succeeded" by Geo. V. Sheek, the present acceptable officer. Thus you see one of our honored and respected town and county landmarks has been removed. "Uest, rest, sweet rest." Killed by Lightning. Danbuby, Conn., April 22. -Several persons were killed and injured by light ning during a terrible thunder storm on Saturday night and Sunday morning. While the taiuily of Levinda Adam, at Trinity Lake, a few miles below this city, were at supper Saturday, the bouse was struck by ligntning and the entire family rendered unconscious. Mrs. Adams, when regaining consciousness, was horriiied to Uud two of the family dead and the rest terribly injured. Noah Adams, a relative on a visit, was horri bly burned. He must have been instant ly killed by the bolt. He was a promi nent citizen of Reading and was 80 years of ae. A daughter of Mrs. Adams was also instantly killed and her body terribly mutilated by the lightniug. The neigh bors succeeeded iu draguing the mutila ted bodies from the buruiug building.

Dark Lantern. A most successful tobacco grower. Col. R. B. Davis, of Hickory, gives the follow ing auvice: . "The tobacco plant requires usually 100 days from the time it is transplanted to grow and ripen properly. To secure the best results, therefore, the planting should not be earlier than the 10th of May, or if possible not later than the 20th of June. In the one case the plant is likely to be stunted in its early growth, as well as deprived of the dews of Au gust and September; and in the other, there is danger that it may not have time to mature fully before frost." Attempt to Wreck a Train. An attempt was made to wreck the passenger train which arrived here this morning from Augusta. Fourteen miles this side of Columbia, as the engineer was sloping up for a station, the engine struck a cross tie that had been plaeed across the track. No damage was done, but the passeugers were considerably shaken xx. -Charlotte New. Raleigh Call: Gov. Fowlc received a telegram this morning from the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements for the New York Centennial staling that no toast will be given for North Carolina. The telegram reads: "Only a limited number of toasts. Southern States ably represented. No toast for North Caro lina on the list." A Bold Eobbery. Patonsburg, Mo., April 22. A mask ed robber walked into the Wabash rail road office here on Friday night, and at the point of a pistol compelled the agent to open the safe, which contained about $6,000. The man made good his escape aAer securing the money. Salt Trust There is a big movement, backed by millions of money and a syndicate, to control the salt business of the United States. It is disclaimed, however, tfiat the object in view is to put up prices; but lbe design is said to have more es pecial reference to the methods of handling or transporting the supply. The people the consumers we doubt not, wbuld much prefer the capitalists would let well-enough alone. Salt is not a costly article now, and it is "not reasomle;tOt8uppos that capitalists who aim at controlling the whole snW jfH;t ViH.mat-at cheaper 7- oud the incidents following was some thing wouderfuL It had been decided on account of ita superior advantages to, lo cate a towu ou a certain site within the Territory, and to this the attention of a large part of the settlers, who had camn- eu ou tae uoruers,-was turneu. A rail road runs through the Territory, and it ; was oh i ue uue oi ims rouu mat tne town I ? . - . 1 . was to be located. Lieut. Foster, -who started the pil grims, coming via the Kansas City trail, estimates tnat at least 40,000 outfits, 10,- 000 peonle, ranged along the border of his trail, started at the sound of a busle. Lieut. Waite, a nephew of the late Chief Justice Waite, started those entering at the Caldwell trail, and Colonel Ware started those on the Huunewall trail, he beiug in cnarge of this territory. Capt. Hays started those entering by the Black Uvur trail. It seems like a fairy story, but there is scarcely a doubt that lroui 20,000 to 30, 000 euiered by those six trails, while the trains tnat came in trom Arkansas City to Gu tune brought at least 6,000 people. lhe wagon road ruirs within 100 yards oi tne railroad all the way. The Ciuiarroou lord, on the Cimarroon or Lattle Arkansas river, is just three fourths of a wile from where Jibe railroad crosses Hie stream, near the old site of Camp Russell. All along tne route were to be been deer, antelope, prairie chick ens am! quail. - lwo deer were within ten rods ol the train, and at leu&t fifty shots were tired at them from the . car windows, aud those ou the roof, without etfect. When the train crossed the last stream, Cottonwood creek, just before entering Guthrie, the passengers began jumping oif and rushing up the hill on the east side of the track towards the land office, where the town site is to be laid out. One fellow became so excited lhat.be jumped through the car window. When the train stopped at Guthrie statiou there was an indiscriminate rush, men and boys running over each other to get to the laud office first, and squat ou a claim. Guihrie already has its Main street, its Harrison street, its Guthrie avenue, and its Oklahoma avenue, aud yesterday morning it was a wilderness where the antelope sported and the jack rabbit flapped its ears in the sun. In the afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the first municipal election occurred. The elec tion notice appeared in the Oklahoma Herald, a daily paper published at Guthrie on the hrst-day of its existence. A council was elected at the same time. Nearly ten thousand votes were polled, as there are about that many men in Guthrie with the intention of becoming citizens. - A sixty-room hotel will be shipped irom Kansas City and ready for business at Guthrie by Saturday. Parties who came with the intention of starting a bank and bearing a muslin sign, ''Bank of Guthrie," could not gt a lot within one-half mile of the depot. Danmark's Passengers Safe. New York, April 21. The agents of the steamer "Danmark received the fol lowing cablegram from Lisbon this after noon: "Passengers and crew of the steamship Danmark landed at the Azores, forty of the passengers arc on the steamer Mis souri, bound for Philadelphia. Rest to follow by the next steamer." Lisbon, April 21. In an interview with a newspaper representative, Peter Rabsen, third mate of the steamship Danmark, related the circumstances of the loss of that vessel. Her engines, he stated, broke down on April 4th while the vessel was eight hundred miles from Newfoundland. Engineer Kaas was found lying dead on the floor of the en gine-room, and the cause of the accident could not be ascertained. " On April 5th the Danmark was spoken by the Mis souri, which towed the Danmark until April 6th. The Danmark was settling down, Rabsen states, and w asked the Missouri to take our passengers. The Missouri, as she was located, had room for only twenty additional persons, but she jettersoned he cargo and took us all on board SOO of us landed U at Azores. We then proceed for Philadelphia, tak ing 340 of the passengers besides the captain and the sailors. Three of the engineers proceeded to London on board the Demerara steamer. The first and second mates are still at Azores and the remaining passengers and fort v-two sailor sailed for Lisbon on the steamer Acor. Archibald Brady Appointed Postmaster at Charlotte. Charlotte Chronicle, April 24. The President yesterday appointed Archibald Brady pastmnster of Charlotte. J nis appointment ends a lone local struggle between Charlotte Republicans. Air. craciy was opposed by nearly all the party workers here. His backing con sisted of a few promi.ent jrentlemen w ho are Republicans' fto in nrineiole. bul who escheWfccaP pblidcs: ' " ' The apti)tmen in 1c4eDiner with the preKidoaWs policy to fcnld up a white man's Jlepiibikain party in the South. It was made, clean to .Mr. Harrison that Mr. Bra'dy had IecliJied to run on' the Republican ticket for State Seifhtie, and that he :hii even scratched the focal ticket. "These are strougipoints in the North and West against an applicant for office; but here iu the South, they seem tu have weight in favor of an applicant. In other words, Mr. HanUon rather seeks to encourage the idea of an inde pendent genteel w hite Republican who is willing to fly in the face of the negro vote. As the negro vote has rather ten Jed to defeat the Republican party in the South, than otherwise, the Presi dent's policy is eminently practical politics. un April ithat her home at Tvro cuup, wuviuson county, jjirs.
