The songs, the quaint dresses, the farci cal incidents and the absurd fash ion in which the interior manage ment of a monstrous but unstable hotel was represented, tickled t he fancy of the large audieuce to the utmost. The .ceaseless anxiety of the various members of the Keys family concerning a disputed will; the dash' and nimbleness of Sam Foss; the imbecility displayed by Littleton Hnaggs, the lawyer,, in his attempt to run a hotel; the cooing aud the quarrelling of capricious lovers, and finally the winding up of the tangled chain of the alleg ed plot iuto a regular coil that gives satisfaction to everybody, were rendered with a spirit and zest t'tat evokeil much applause."

Royster, one of Tarboro's most sue cesstul business meu That our silence in regard to the rumor that we had recently fallen heir to a goodly fortune of nearly one million dollars has been con strued as sufficient evidence that said rumor is true. j Now as a matter of fact, and in i order to ease down just a little the over-rejoicing of our friends and to cool off somewhat the too eager ex pectations of our innumerable cred itors, we desire to state that the sum to which we have fallen heir is not quite half million ; not only that, it's not so much as that. Ed. R. II. I. That the largest bank note ever issued by the Bank ot England was for one million pounds, (about 85,000,000.) That this note may be seen at the Advance office where the edi tor is preserving it merely as a cu riosity. That there is really a man in Kansas who is so full of electricity that he can actually light the gas by merely snapping his fingers in a jet of it. That there is a certain man in Wilson who is generally fuller than the Kansas man, for the Wilson mau can ignite a barrel of oil by merely touching his nose to it ; but that he is thus so full of tire :s not ascribed to electricity. That Dr. Deems, formerly of Wilson, but now of the Church of Strangers, N. Y , says : "Kissing is purely an American habit." That upon the force of the good Doctor's wise remark,; the young men herearound reverently say, "Let us remember this, dear breth ren, and sisteren, and encourage and patronize home industry," That our young ladies and gen tlemen are forming protective tariff clubs, called "Deems Clubs." x That some account of these clubs will soon be reported in the Ad vance. That two or three of these clubs, in which the membership is limited to two, are already wot of. That the Chinese pay their doc tors while they are well and when they are sick stop the payments. That the Chinese method with some modifications could be exten sively -adopted iu this country, That e. g., it would bo a first rate idea to pay our Congressmen and Legislators while they are at home attending to their own busi-' iiess, and stop their pay while they are in session attending to other people's business. That te introduction of the tele phone into Russia has proven a complete failure, because when a woid like "Scautheskyscoffnuxvom icavitch" or "Bhjornikaskywrgavo beloff" is forced througli a little in strument like telephone some thing has got to give way every time. That the "old ticket" of Tilden and Hendricks boometh in New York and is sustained by the lead lug Democrats of said State. I That there is no man in all the great Empire State that knows so much about all the highways and byways of New York's vote as S. J. t. ; . ' That, yes, there is just one other mau who knows as much as S. J.

Mr. C. L. Upshur is yet in the prime of life, being about five and forty years of age. Of a wiry ner vous temperament, he is all energy aud grit, added to which is a pleas ant disposition that makes friends of all poor and rich alike. In conclusion it may be said that Mr. ! Upshur has a bright future before ' him, and the American Fertilizing Company were fortunate in electing him their President. As the history of self-made men read nowadays like romance, this little sketch of Mr. C.

There is no city in the Union oi its size that has grown so fast as Norfolk iu the past four ?ear, Business of every kiud 4s booming. The suov-white cotton from the south ern fields seeks its hospitable har luir for shipment across "the pond;" manufacturing of every description is prospering ; new houses are building and going up. as if by magic covering the waste spots among the oyster shells; aud iu a word, Norfolk Jias awakened from her long sleep, and is about to take her place on the top rung of the ladder. But there is no bnsiness that brings wealth into her eoffets, that ha made such rapid strides upwards as the fertilising business. Sixteen years ago a young practi cal farmer named C. L. Upshur, seeing the folly of sending North for fertilizers, determined to start the business in Norfolk, and bene tiWhe farmers by so doing, by hav- inir the article light at theirdoor anil selling at cheaper rates by saving the cost of freight from the North. For two years this pioneer in the fertilizing business worked his way slowly in assisting tlje pro ducer to make an early crop, when family matters compelled him to lelluquish the business and return to his farm. But being it man of natural intelligence and education, acquired through study, he did not let the grass grow under liis teet without finding cut, the "cause, and to speak more plainly-, Mr. Upshur experimented aU the time while working thw farm, and the result is, that tue formulas prepared by him are among the first in the laud, and he has become an authority on all that pertains to fertilizers. Six years ago Norfolk ' did not possess a factory, and not parti-! f nf 1irisnliifo was manufactured here: the Nortli'as usual supplying the demand. But the pioneer, Mr. 0. L. Upshur, again came to the front in behalf of the Southern toil ers, aud his ingenuity and vim was copied after, and followed by other patties, until now it-can be said Norfolk boasts of five factories, but the credit is due principally to Mr. Upshur, and this city should present -him with a vote of thanks for being the originator and At the residence of Mr. Wm.
