A Mistaken i ITer,
Yesterday a young lassie who could
not have numbered a great many sum
mers, but who" possibly had arrived at the
tender and charming age of sweet six
teen, was seen crying and sobbing as if
her very heart would break, on the cor
ner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, and
was kindly approached by a gentleman
who gently endeavored to render the
distressed young damsel some assistance.
But, he failed; his consolatory words fell
on the heedless ears of the sobbing maid
en and the kind-hearted gentlemen -was
non-plussed. He now epitomizes the in
terview as follows:
I saw a maiden weeping drear,
And in her eye was many a tear.
I softly touched her marble brow
"Maidem," I asked, "why weepest thou?"
She answered not; yet still the tears
Gently trickled into her ears.
"Maiden," I said, "oh tell me now
Your secret sorrow why weepest thouf'
She gently raised her jioble head,
And showed to me her wet cheeks, red.
' Why weepest thou?" I once more said.
Replied 6he ia a voice of lead:
"None of your business!"
JL Pugnacious Strike.
. Sol. Nixon, colored, one of the hands
who had been employed by the "Water
Works Company in digging the trench
for the pipe-layiug, but who was one of
the leaders of the strike yesterday morn
ing, got himself into considerable diffi
culty during the day. He went to where
those who refused to strike were employed
and used violent, abusive and threatening
language to the "workmen, to such an ex
tent that some of them signified an in
tention to quit work, alleging as a rea
son, that they were afraid he would put
some of his threats into execution. Dr.
Cloud, hearing of the disturbance, wen
to Nixon and warned him to keep away
from the hand3 and not disturb or inter
fere with them in their work, when the
latter turned upon him with the most
villainous and abusive language at his
command, adding threats to abuse. Up
on this the doctor had a warrant issued
for Nixon, who was arrested and taken
before Justice Gardner for an examina
tion, where he was ordered to give bond
in the sum of $100 to keep the peace.
At the trial Nixon tlaimed the privilege,
to which he was entitled, of coaductlng
his own case, and he conducted it in such
a manner that he came very : near being

fn the case of the U. S. ts.J. C.
Wright, of Colombus county, for the al
leged failuie to removed stamps from to
bacco boxes, which was on trial when

There , was no session of the Court to

Hailstorm at Whltovtile. ,-
We learn thata Jerrifia bail storm
visited Whiteville" and Vieinity'yester
day. The wind blew'riolently, uprooting
trees and overturning fences in its path.
Hail stones of considerable size and
quantities could have been gathered
from the fields in the country around, at
least, so says our informant. We .pre
sume and hope, the cropt are not far
enough advanced to have sustained any
serious damage from the storm.
Tbe Last or the Strike-
The strike, which we alluded to yes
terday, had but a brief existence indeed,
and resulted in but little loss save to the
trikers. This morning a much larger
force than was employed before the
strike, presented itself for employment,
and among those who presented them
selves were nearly all of those who
struck yesterday. The force is now con
siderably augmentedand the work is be
ing push2d vigorously on Fourth street.
There was a rumor that the former price
$1 per day had been restored, but
thi?, we learn, is not the fact, the hands
working for eighty cents per daj.
Furiher Arrangements lor llcmorlal
Day. ;
"We understand that the Ladies' Me
morial Association of this city have
selected Colonel B. R. Moore as the br
ater for the occasion on Memorial Pay;
and that that gentleman has accepted
the invitation and will deliver the Memo
rial address. We congratulate the ladies
upon their, selection of . an orator. The
choice, we think, is a good one, and Col
Moore every way competent tou fill the
position. An orator of no ordinary ca
pacity, Col. Moore is at the same time
one of the most erudite scholars for his
age to be found in our midst. In addition
tojthese necessary qualities, Col. JIoore
has also the other quality of having been
a Confederate soldier and having shed
hi3 blood in the cause of the Confederacy.
We also jearn that the Rev. Dr. A. ? A.
Watson, Rector of St. James' Church,
has been requested to act as Chaplain on
the same occasion md that the reverend
gentleman has signified his intention of
accepting the invitation, and will 'serve
the. ladies in that capacity' on Memorial
Day. ,

The General Assembly of North Caro
Una, at its late session, passed an act ap
propriating five hundred dollars tobjiild
a monument to the memory of : ur fir3t
constitutional Governor, Richard Cas
well. This sum is entirely ina dequate
for the purpose, and was only intended
to assist the patriotic citizens of the
State in their efforts to build a monu
ment commensurate with the great deeds
done by him whose memory it is intended
to perpetuate,
We know that every true citizen of
the State, adopted as well as native, will
be glad to have the privilege of assisting
in raising the legislative appropriation
to a sum that will more nearly meet the
requirements of the case.
Therefore we have issued this circular.
hoping that everyone whose eye it may
reach will forward to the treasurer of the
association any sum which may attest
his admiration of the great, many and
noble services to tne Old North State
by that sterling patriot," intrepid soldier
and wise statesman, whose memory we
wish to hand down as a rich legacy to
cur posterity. .;. ' -. " ; . ! -;-
His Excellency Governor Jar vis is in
full accord with this object, and has
notified the Caswell . Memorial -Association
of his intention to further its ends-
Tbis association is permanently organ
ized and now vigorously at work. The
citizens of Lenoir are already' coming
forward with their contributions.
It is earnestly requested that the vice
presidents of the Caswell Memorial Asso
ciation will push the work: of collection,
so that, if possible, the monument may
be ready for the ceremonies of nnveiling
on the fourth day of July next
It is proposed to locate the monument
on the public square, in the town of
