Air. Gladstone in the House paid a tribute to Gen. Gordon. A London special says: He denied that the Government had any tta&ou last year to suppose that Gor don was in any imminent danger. Gen. Gotdon's own dispatches, said Mr. Glad stone had led the Government to believe that he frould retreat with the garrison southward, if possible. The Government had not wavered or swerved a hair's breadth from the covenant to send Gen. Gordon assistance when necessary and when pus;ib!e to do so." . Vm H.

When the present law went into effect twenty-seven companies withdrew. We have not given the subject reflection enough to justify an opinion.

Mr Wortley was of the opinion that the Govern ment had acted with extreme mean ness toward Gen.

Many of the counties are having a stock law passedt for their -benefit. New Han over" is interested in tlila law. We do not doubt in the least that a decided majority of the fence builders and land owners favof such a law. "We believe that if an elec tion was held restricting the right f ballot to fence builders that the no- fence law would be carried over whelmingly. Why should not the wishes of those interested be con sulted?. Why should men who do not own a foot of land and who do not have the expense and trouble of building fences have a voice in a matter, of so much importance to others. 4 If the Legislature would give heed to wir&tth 'Btab says it would pass the stock-law bill now be fore it. This bill authorizes a stock law when a majority of the fence builders shall petition to the County Commissioners for such a law. Why is not that fair ? What just man will say nay ?

Raleigh News- Observer: Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 23, 1885. The annual oration in celebration of : Washington's birthday was delivered to day by Mr. Sol O. Weill, of Wilmington. The orator did himself and the occasion justice. His style is very pleasant. Prof. Winston has made his new recitation room quite at tractive by introducing some pictures rep resenting Roman history. Prominent among them are the Flavian Amphitheatre, Apollo Belvidere, The Dying Gladiator, Discus Throwers, and a birds eye view of the city of Kome. Raleigh Visitor: Senator Vance has presented the petition of certain North Carolina Creek Indians, now residing in the Indian Territory, praying the confirma tion of lands awarded to them in North Carolina under a decree of the Circuit Court of the United .States for the Western Dis trict of North Carolina.

A girl who could admit to her bedroom such a fellow as Sitton ought not to call for toe avenging arm of a reckless, drinking, "revenue raider, Kadlcal. and general .loafer like. Tom Shields. She did not call in his aid, and after the fatal shot, her main cry was for. ner lover not for her lost reputatation ! so the jury (doubtless re flecting that lorn ought 10 have had elean skirts before sending Sitton suddenly out of existence for a similar offense) gave sentence of five years.

Walker has committed three murders; two in South Carolina and one in Georgia, the latter having been committed in Augusta, last May, since whdn Walker has-been dodging the officers of the law. He was tracked from one place to another until he was brought to , bay at Harrisburg, but though his pursuers got within shootine distance of him. and fired several rounds at him, he succeeded in getting away from them.

Frank Hill and John Tate, both colored, have each a mule, .and they keep them stabled in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Princess street3. On Tuesday night Tate's mule was stolen and carried off, and Frank Hill's harness was taken with him. Hia mule got loose and the thief could not catch him, or he would very probably have been stolen also. Upon discovering their loss Hill reported at police headquarters, and Chief Brock told him he had better take the road at once and he would proba bly come up with the mule. He did so, and when at a distance of about twen ty miles from this city, on the old New Berne road, he came upon a man driving a mule attached to a cart. The mule the man was driving was not his property, Jbut the gearing was recognized as his own. Upon seeing Hill approach- in gK the man and, a companion who was with him left the mule and cart and it was taken possession of by Hill, .who, after some investigation, found that the thief had traded Yates' mule for another, and that was how his gearing came to be upon a strange mule. He finally , succeeded in recovering the stolen mule, as well as the harness, and returned: home with the same, but the thief escaped. Wants Filling Up. We spoke a few days since of an im provement to the road in front of the Cath olic Cemetery. We since learn that the excavation necessary in putting down the trunks has not been filled up, and the con sequence is that it is almost impossible to reach the gate, and to do so ft is necessary to construct a temporary' bridge across the yawning chasm. A funeral procession yesterday had the difficulties to contend with to which we have called attention, and it is hoped that the proper authorities will see to it that the excavation is filled in at once. A gulf yawning between the road and the entrance to the cemetery is natu rally considered by our Catholic friends as anything but a convenience. Another Fire In Duplin. N The residence of Mr. Calvin Bradshaw, five miles from Kenansville, Duplin county, was destroyed by fire on Monday last. Mr. Bradshaw was away from home at the time. Mrs. B. heard a crackling noise on the roof and ran out into the" yard to see what it -meant, when she found the roof in flames. She returned and got the children, by which time the building was a mass of flames. Nothing was saved ; but two- quilts which Mrs. Bradshaw had snatched up as she was escaping from the burning building. Personal. . Rev. P. J.

This wonderful Fruit, which nas created as great a rnror in eeumwesiern Georeia as has the Orance In Florida, and which has created suoh a profound Interest among the Nurserymen and Fruit Growers throughout the entire country, is as yet but little known to the trablta abroad. In order to aeauaint them with it. to make known its remarkable qualities, and to point out tne nana some pronts to do reaiizea from Its cultivation, the following facts are set tortn: in 1883, Major . ueuonte, tnen a citizen or Philadelnhia. sent anions other varieties, a small rootlet, labeled Chinese or Sand Pear, to his niece, Mrs.. Harding, In Liberty county, Ga, It grew and nourished in its new home, and at the age of Overyears began to fruit. Its wonder- rui vigor ana surpassing neanty as a tree.ooupiea with Its early and profuse bearing, attracted the attention and won the admiration of those living In the immediate rlolnirv: but as fruit erowine was not thought of in those days, as a me tns of profit; the trees were confined to a few families only. Since the war a nurseryman's attention was called to it. From this beginning Thomas county has become generally known as home' and: headauartsra of the LeGoate Pear Bece4t has grown inft an lBdaatry4 soareely seeond to cotton m its proportions, ana -vastly superior m profit. - The fruit sells readily in tne Northern markets at from $2.00 to $5 00 per bushel. One grower cleared the past season over $500 from seventeen trees. The tree is a wonderfully rapid grower, and is independent of soil, provided it is not a wet sou. In form it is similar to the Lorn bardy poplar, and with its abundant suit of dark rich green leaves, put on early in the spring, it is by lar the most beautiful of all Fruit trees and one of the most ornamental trees in the south. It usually comes into bearing about the fifth or sixth year; but in good ground and cultivation has been known to fruit in three years. When fnllv erown it lields regular crops of from fifteen to f ty bushels. . The great advantages over all other Pears are these the tree is perfectly free from blight or disease of any kind; the Fruit keeps well and bears transportation; it yelds more abundantly than any outer Pear; and it is well adapted to the soil and climate of Eastern North Carolina Tne regular price of these trees the past season has been $1 50 a piece; and the nur serymen have been unable to supply the oemand. ieb x7 xz jt u. ki.aik.
