TIIK CONDITIONS OF A BUSINESS
REVIVAL,
The truth in regard to the, revival
of business we are satisfied is brought
out in the following from the New
York Tri&ne, of -Tuesday r ,
"Ever since the panic of 1873, the hope
lias been by many indulged, and by some
writers persistently encouraged during the
winter mootiis, tnat witn eacn reviving
sprint' we were to have a revival of busi
ness. By this," hopeful dealeis and their
well-meaning but mistaken advisers under
stood an improvement in prices obtained.
as well as ia quantities sold. Men in
dulged the hope that the happy times of
active speculation, rapid sales, mounting
prices aud large profits, were in some mye
terious way to be restored. Many, instead
of adjusting their transactions to the new
conditions prevailing, have persisted in the
old way, year after year, hoping each sea
son to witness during the next the long-de
layed revival of business. But repeated
disappointments begin at last to teach the
needed though unwelcome lesson, namely.
that we cannot expect ' renewed prosperity
until we have earned It by some years of
patient economy. " We must produce at
lower cost, stimulate consumption by low
er prices and narrower margins, and help
manfully to . pull tbe . country out of the
morass ot debt into which it has been
plunged by inflation and over-speculation
"Id one sense there is revival of business
Blow but steady. The quantity or .pro
ducts exchanged and consumed, gradually
increases as prices slowly settle to the level
required for legitimate business and health
ful exchange. Trade reports show that
receipts of nearly all important products at
this market have been larger thus far this
year than during the same period in 1875.
Yet prices, as every market report reminds
those who are indulging false hopes, do
not rise, nor is. there any sign of specula
tive activity. Business is building slowly
on new and more solid foundations. Those
will prosper most who catch the spirit of
tile lime most promptly, throw away false
iiopes, clear away encumbering debts.

The large audience which assembled at
Library Hall last night to listen to the sec
ond lecture of Prof. Tripp's course, maybe
considered a healthful symptom as regards
the public taste for and interest in enter
tainments of a strictly intellectual order.
The assemblage embraced many . of our
' most cultured citizens and the cream of so
ciety. Tbe lecture began with - a state
ment of the general features of the so called
"Eastern . que8tionnr a question as to
whether Russia shall be permitted to gain
control of the entire commerce of . the
Eastern seas by the occupation of Constan
tinople, and thereby become the first naval
power of the world, or whether she shall be I
repressed and held in check by Turkey
and the Western nations. The lecturer de
tailed the progressive steps in Russia's
scheme of conquest, and of the culmina
tion of Western resistance in tbe Crimean
war. The results of that war were sketch-
ed, and the consequent turning of the tide
of Russian conquest in the direction of
Southern Siberia along the steppes of Cen-
Iirat Asia; ana men wnen jwgiaua aiormer
ally had become involved in the great
struggle - with Germany, how Russia em-
braced the opportunity to free herself from
all tbe restraints the . results of tbe
Crimean f war - had imposed r- upon
her - by the Paris treaty, set afloat
her armored navy on tbe Eastern seas and
push lrer arms through Khiva and Tartary
in the direction of the British Indies. Tbe
present Turkish civil war was also touched
upon, but no prophecy of Its results was
ventured. - ; '
Some pleasant personal reminiscences of
the Empress Carlotta and her girlhood's
home in Brussels were next introduced, fol
lowed by a historical sketch of Maximillian,
and the French effort, under coyer of our
late'eivil war, to found a Mexican Empire
in the face of the whole American people,'
and of the tragical results of that effort.
. Covering so long a stretch of history,
there was an evident difficulty in logically
J connecting the different parts of the lecture,
6u, th batlie.8Cene8 and character descrin-
tions were excellently rendered, and proved
both entertainiug and instructive. . xi ;t
At tbe conclusion, Prof. Tripp took the
sense of the audience as to whether the con
cluding lecture of the course, to be deliver
ed to-night, should be ; upon the causes of
the Franco-German war and of the defeat
of Napoleon III, with a sketch of the cam
paign to Sedan, or upon the character and
times of Lamartine. By an almost unani
mous vote, the former subject was chosen.
A Prisoner from Pender.
Sheriff HorreUrrof Pender, arrived last
night, havipg!! in charge, one 4 Sbeppard
Herring, arrested on a capias from tbe Sope-
rior Court of that cotfnty on the charge of
perjury.. He was committed to jail to
await a bearing at the next term of the

'-
A store on market Street Broken
' Open and Robbed A rret ot Two
' ; o f t h e Th f eves R eeo ve r y j o f a Fo r
tton of the Good! &c. , ' . . j
The' grocery store of Mr.' Thomas H.
Smithy n -the south' side of Market, be
tween Front .and Second streets, "was en
tered Tuesday bight ' and robbed of articles
to the value, as far as can now be ascer
tained, of between $300. and !f 400. f En
tranca was effected titrougli the back door,
to reach which the lhieves had :tp jump a
high fence. The door has a double shut
ter, leaving .'when , closed a small crack.
Through this crack a butcher's knife or
something of : the kind" was" ihserted, by
which the bar 'which secured the shutters
?wa8 lifted from its position'. The goods
were then removed from the store, passed
over the fence and carried off.
- As soon as the fact of the robbery be-
? . . ... . . . . , .
came known, yesterday morning,': Officers
Carr and VanSoulen were put on tho track,
who traced the trail of the thieves' from the
rear of Mr. Smith's store : to the residence
of a colored man by the name of David
Davis, w ho lives on tbe south side of Castle,'
between Second and Third j streets, by
grains of coffee which had been dropped on
the; way while the articles were being re
moved. This much being ascertained, Mr.
Smith was notified and proceeded to; the
office of Justice Gardner, where he made the
necessary affidavit, upon which a search
warrant was issued and placed in tbe hands
of the officers named, who went to Davis'
house and searched it. I . . ,
In the meantime,- however. Officer WaK
colt was dispatched to arrest Davis, who
was employed in the bakery establishment
of Mr. Leesman, on Second street, between
Market and Dock, for fear he might get an
inkling of what was going on and makobjs
escape: . . : t-.'; .. ;
In the house of Davis, after a thorough
search, the officers succeeded in bringing
to ; light the following articles, some of
which were in the garret and some on the
lower floors, and all of which were subse
quently identified as- amoBg ithose taken
from Mr. Smith's store: Two dressed
chickens, two turkeys, twenty-five pounds
of tobacco, twenty-five dozen eggs, twenty-
two b&rs of soap, fifty pounds of sausages,
thirteen cans of condensed milk, twelve
boxes of sardjnes, ten pounds of smoking
tobacco, one hundred pounds of flour, two
hundred pounds of North Carolina bacon
hams, three dozen boxes of matches, fifty
pounds of rice, and two bottles of brandy
peaches. These articles were recovered
and restored to Mr. Smith, bjy 11 o'clock
ye8terdaymorning. i
Davis, when arrested j by Officer
Walcott and told what it was for
essayed to deny any connection with or
knowledce of the transaction, but when in
formed that the articles had been discov-

the matter, be betrayed himself, appa

admission that would be likely to send him
to tbe penitentiary.
George Lee, a colored pressman, em
ployed in the job printing office of Mr. 8.
G. Hall, and well known in tbe commu
nity, was subsequently arrested on the
charge of being implicated in the robbery.
Both parties were required by Justice
Gardner to give justified bonds in the sum
of $400 each for? their future appearance
before him, in default of which they were
lodged in jaiL
: It if often alleged, as. some excuse for so
much thieving going on in tbe community.
that the want of employment by which an
honest livelihood could be earned, is the
main incentive; but here we have a case in
which both the parties charged with tbe
crime of breaking into and robbing a store
havefor years been holding regular situa-
tions, and were generally ' believed to be
honest and trustworthy.

afternoon, and placed in jthe hands of

the premises of Jack Lee, said to be a
brother of the George Lee alluded to above,
who was believed to have been implicated
in tbe robbery of Mr. Smith's store, and
that a portion of the bacon stolen was
found in his house. . Jack Lee was there
upon arrested and lodged in jail, in default
of security, to await a hearing before Jus

phases of city life. He had: been at work
for some time;! in Robeson county, and,
having drawn his money, concluded he
would like to "see the world." That being
his object he naturally drifted in this di.
rectiou, where he soon fell in with the gay
and blooming young damsel alluded to,

her around and! treated her. considerably,"

referred to. ; He discovered his loss

priating his funds ; but of course she denied
the soft impeachment, exclaiming, in the
fascinating manner so peculiar to one of
her sensitive nature, "La, me! you don't
suppose I would do anything like that ?'
But Pierce,, though verdant, had his own
opioion about the matter, and hence had a
warrant issued for her arrest. After hear
