"Uncle Remus's" book 18 going like hot cakes. The first edition was ex hausted the first day. It is some thing else than the mere fun of the author conveyed in negro dialect.

We have before us the annual mes sage of the President of the United Slates to the two Houses at the be ginning of the Forty-sixth Congress. A most formidable document it is in length. If Hayes bad two more yeais in which to praotice writing he would require a 400-page duodecimo. We publish in our telegraphic col umns a synopsis. We may in our next issue refer to some of the points raised by him and consider some of his recommendations. He favors John Sherman's scheme as to making the silver dollar heavier. It is made up of abstracts of reports from the several departments, references to good crops, good condition of the industries of the country, permanent success of resumption, decrease of the national debt, bonds coming due, and recommendations as to refund- ing. in view ot tue rapid decrease of the debt, aud the prospect that such decrease will oontiuue, he does not favor a long term bond, no mat ter how low the interest may be. He favors paying off the debt and get ting rid of it as soon as it can reason ably be done. He refers to the fact that we are at peace with all nations, and every indication of remaining so. He gives figures as to onr export trade, and comments upon its im mense and growing proportions. He gives considerable space to the neces sity of reclaiming Potoano flats along the river front to secure greater healthfuluess of the oily. Mr. John McCullough, the Phila delphia tragedian, has been playing to fiue audiences in New York.

Fayetteville Meaminer: We are glad to learn that several young gentlemen connected with a Raleigh military company propose to visit Fayetteville on or about Christmas to give our "crack shots" another round. We will welcome them with plea sure, but, by the way, we do not admit the claim of the Nem-Observer that they are the champion shots of the State, and hope to see it disproved when they do make us a visit. Several editors are after some of the small offices in the Legislature. W by do not some of the' craft run for Congress or Governor or the U.S. Senate? Strike high.

Delinquent Draymen. Frequent applications aie mide at the proper source to ascertain tlia names of certain draymen who have been guilty or some "irregularity," such, for instance, as purchasing a cord of wood with the under standing that it shall be paid for before it all taken away, and ceasiug u put in an appearance after two or three loads have been hauled. The victims usually take the precaution to make a note of the number of the dray, and thus m most cases they are enabled to get on the traek of the de faulter and bring him to terms. Wherever this precaution is neglected, however, the wood-seller is the sufferer. We are loth to believe that any considerable number of our draymen' ever engage in such nefarious practices, and the innocent, for their own protection, should esteem it their own duty to point out the delinquents whenever it may be in their power to do so.

" Tho Mo ther. Home Journal. A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con vinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was just the article needed, procured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have it ad ministered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in suffering, and the parnts without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse, and while contemplating another sleep less night, the mother stepped from the room to at tend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child. During her absence he administered a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy. Tbe mother was delighted with the sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offend ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies and restless nights nave disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet faUed to relieve the baby, aad overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
