' THE SBC RET. Sid Datn6n unto Phyllis, "Let me whisper ia your ear; , I would fain impart a secret that no other - soul may .hear;- . .. , , Said Phyllis unto Damon, "And why whis per? We're alone! , You had belter tell your secret in an ordi i nary tone.!' ; , . "But, Phyllis,-little birds, they say, are sometimes tell-tale-tits; One cannot be too. cautious in divulging precious bits." "But, Damon, this is nonsense, for there's not a bird about; Besides, I can't keep secrets, and am sure ' to let it out." "Yet, Phyllis, 'tis secret thatbat concerns us two ' ' I scarce dare say it to myself, much' les9 speak louU to you." t " Well, Damon, you may whisper, since you decline to speak; v But promise, first, to keep your lips some distance from my cheek." - : t Then Damon gave his , promise, and he -whispered soft and low;7 ! u The secret seemed to please her, but its pur port none can know. .

J, - Tlie Kate of itae Percentage that one L. Cwclllu Jaeuniai Received. , One of the most interesting discove ries in recent years at Pompeii was made in 1875, -when a "wooden chest was brought to light containing the business receipts of one L. Csecilius Jucundus. The chest crumbled to dust on exposure to the air, but the tablets on which the receipts were written have at length proved to be legible in many instances, and the result of a careful study of these tab lets by Mommsen and others has been to clear up several point in what was among the Romans a matter of great consequence, viz: the position of the middleman in affairs of business. There was not among the Romans the same extensive system of shops ; as with us, supplying every possible ar ticle of necessity or luxury, and for this reason there arose 'innumerable occasions of private persons desiring to dispose of this or that article, as, for instance, a surplus of agricultural produce, old carts, plows, pr even old and invalid slaves, as Cato recom mends the land owner to do. The tablets in questions arectated, accord ing to custom, by giving the names of the consuls for the year. The greater part of the dates fall between A. 'D. 53-62.4 A few are as early as 15 and 27. Since there is no more recent date than 62, it becomes highly - probable that the tablets of Jucundus had been overwhelmed in the earlier eruptions of Vesuvius. The "majority of -the tablets are triptychs, and are written partly with letters on wax, spread on the tablet, and partly in ink on the bare wood. Among them there is only one which gives the Amonut of commission which he received, and. that proves to be two per cent., which is known from other sources Jto have ' been the general rate; Usually he merely says "minus the commission." The person on whom this expense fell was the buyer. London Times. .: AC Chambers. '. A decision which will be of considerab le interest to many of our people was rendered yesterday by Judge Schenck, in the case of H. J. Hamil vs. The Commissioners of Wake county. This is a suit brought upon a ' wit ness ticket issued by the clerk of the Superior Court to H. J. Hamil, who served as a witness before the grand jury on a case where ithe indictment was returned 4tnot a true bill. Judge Schenck had the case submited to him at Chambers, and renders the follow ing decision: - "The plaintiff insists, that having rendered the services, he is entitled to compensaon there for, and relies on the decision of, the Supreme Court of North Carolina in Lewis . vs. The Board of Commisioners of Wake county, 74 N. C. Reports. Defendants insist that the statute law of the State does not provide for the payment of ' a witness before the grand jury, when an indictment is returned not a true bill, and that the defendant is under no obligation to pay the said witness ticket. ' ; , "This case having been submitted for the judgment of the Court, the matter having been argued and con sidered, it is adjudged that the plain tiff is entitled to compensation. "The Supreme Court in Lewis vs. Commissioners, etc., 74 N. C. Reports, page 196, says, 'That witnesses are entitled to compensation where a bill is prepared and sent to the grand jury, with the names of the witnesses sum moned, sworn and - sent endorsed thereon.? This is our case. Let a judgment be filed accordingly. D. Schenck, , J. S. C. presiding." Cogent Reason for m Grand success. Conspicuous among the highest 'examples of suc cess which the present century can-show is Hostet ter'a Stomach Bitters. The record of Its triumphs over disease is to be traced in the written acknow ledgments of thousands who have experienced its beneficent effects, and the evidence of its populari ty is to be found in the vast and growing demand for the article in North and South America, Mexico. Guatemala the West Indies, Australia and Europe, The reasons for its unparalleled success are cogent ones. The accumulated evidence of nearly thirty years shows that it is a certain remedy for malarial disease, as well as its surest preventive; that it era dicates dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint and nervousness, couiueracia m icnueucy iu guui, rueu mat lam nrhmrr and nterine disorders, that it im parts vigor to the feeble, and cheers the mind while it invigorates tne ooay. - . .

PROSPECTUS. The Raleigh Observer. ' ,.!- f- f ; ON THE 16TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1876, ;and in the city of RALEIGH, the undersigned will commence the publication of The Observer, , - a ' DAILY and WEEKLY Democratic newspaper. Of long experience in their profession as editors, respectively of the Fayetteville Obsrbvbb and the Wilmington Journal, they do not affect to doubt the soundness of the general judgment which as signs them ability to furnish a newspaper suited to the needs and adapted te the tastes of the people of North Carolina. Differing in politics in the olden time, there was never a difference between the Ob sbbvxb and the Joubnal in zeal for the interests and honor, of North Carolina. To promote the one, and to uphold and add to the other will be the ob ject of the Obsxkvbb now. -. Of very decided opinions on questions of public interest, and apt to give those opinions plain ex pression, they deem it the first duty of a newspaper to furnish its readers with the information necessa ry to the formation of their opinions, to publish all "the news;" and their purpose is to make Tin Observes now, as of old, a truthful, accurate, con densed history of the times In which we live. It was thus that "the old Observer" won its hold up on the people of North Carolina, enjoying the affec tion of its party friends, receiving the respect and confidence of its bitterest political fees, and com manding in its comparatively isolated location a circulation larger than has ever been attained by any other North Carolina newspaper, and it is thus, by like dignity and fairness that the editors of The Observer, transferred to the . State Capital, hope it will aeserveand soon equal, and then surpass, its former circulation and prosperity. It will be their high aim to deserve the public con fidence by earnest efforts to promote the public wel fare, first and foremost of North Carolina, next of all the Southern States, and finally, and through these, of the whole Union. They think that this can only be effected by the prevalence of Democra tic principles and the dismissal of the Radical party from the places and power which they have so great ly abused, and under whose baleful rule the South has been outraged and the whole country has been impoverished and disgraced.
