'Tuesday the beak consisted of 2 f,000 pounds, and averaged 8 1-4 cents.- Yesterday the break was not so heavy, but the quality of the to- imuuo was exceueoc i Anere were 10,000 pounds on the floor, and prices ran very high, one lot ; bringing $50, thence to $35.25, $35, $18, and thence down." J An average of 8 1-4 cents indeed! w en, tnat may satisfy our np-coun-try friends, but a Granville farmer would scarcely take the trouble to haul his tobacco to market if it ave raged no more than that. For in stance, we give some average sales of Granville . crops, for 100 j pounds: I At one warehouse, $59, $90, $125, $225, $60, $71, $C5, $100, $75, $89, $78. ; - (-.;- 1 At another warehouse Mr. Sam'l O.

We are glad to see that the Wil mington Stab is defending! our sec tion. . .- j - ; i- , ' Our leading farmers would quit business if they could not average for their crops over 15 cents per pound. A few days ago Mr.; George Bul lock sold his crop on the Oxford mar ket at an average of $75. ; This was a splendid crop, and said, to be the best on our market with the excep tion of that of Mr.!B.

Where did they get their liquor from? Patriot. May ' Rlmor;al r in New Berne. ' Feiend Star: Tuesday was Me morial Day, and was j celebrated in New Bejne , with our customary energy and patriotism. That esti mable gentleman, CoL tBurr, of your city, delivered the memorial address, and pleased everybody by the beauty of his thoughts, the unaffected earnestness of his manner, and his touching and sympathetic remem brance of the martial heroes who are asleep. Standing in the open air in the midst of a thousand graves, - and having not a very , strong voice, the Col. labored under many disadvan tages! But he had around him .the faithful women of the Memorial As sociation, who, through sun and storm, through poverty and oppression, have kept alive in this historic country the memory and deeds of the Confederate soldier. Underneath j him was the sacred dust of the vanished boys in gray, who perished for a cause the vital germ of which will live forever. By his side stood the most prominent gentlemen of the city, many of them immemorial; orators,,; and ...intimately identified with the fame and glory of our State. In front and in rear were surviving Confederate soldiers, vet erans of many a stricken field, while crowds of earnest citizens thronged every j path and open space to do honor to the orator and the occa sion. The day I was very calm and beautiful. The. earth was fairly, car peted with flowers, while every tomb in our little cemetery was . ablaze 'with I elegant roses. The memorial address had that first and j highest attribute, suitability to the occasion ; of just sufficient length not to be tedious to a large standing crowd; it was gracefully delivered, distinctly heard, and abounded in pathetic al lusions to the men and to the times which will sanctify Southern heroism and courage forever. Col. Burr, I think,! is the third memorial; orator whom we have called from Wilming ton, and they have all pleased and delighted our j people The great trouble with us here is, that we wish to complete a suitable monument over our dead soldiers, and are too Blow in the; payment; of this sacred debt. But l we are not without hope some generous heart will yet be opened to give us the money, and the work will be quickly and brilliantly done. L. New Berne, N. C, May llth. Gae of Opium. ! Boston Post. : It is a striking fac, that while mo ral reformers are doing all they can to arrest intemperance from the use of intoxicating liquors, the use of opium is increasing to an alarming extent. The importation of this drug is said to have increased 140 per cent.! during the last four years. What is the cause of this? Mainly, we judge, the substitution to a large extent of opium for other intoxicants. It is difficult to verify the statement, for opium eating is not easy of de tection. But the increasing of im portations shows a corresponding de mand,; and the i latter cannot be ac counted for in any other way. If our druggists were to be consulted they would doubtless all agree that their sales of opium have increased very largely within a few years. This may I in part be accounted for from the increase of nervous diseases in the female sexj for which this drug in various forms is used as a pallia tive, j But this does not explain the enormous demand indicated by the importations. Now, if intemperance is to be cured or arrested by prohibi tion, there is a much louder call on the friends of that policy to, apply it to the sale of opium than to intoxi cating liquors.' The use of opium is more pernicious than that of ardent spirits, and when once indulged in it operates like a charmer to enslave its victim beyond the power of libera tion. When resorted to for its ex hilarating effects it is usually ; taken on the ly. None -of the attending external circumstances which sur round drinking are observable. ' Nor does the habit betray itself as that of using ; intoxicating liquors. This greatly adds to the danger ot, the evii. i n people inaaige in tne use of stimulants from j love7 of excite menl, better by far use pure liquors than this insidious but fatal drug. If rum enslaves jits thousands, 'opium victimizeslts tens of thonsand8.il The latter ii easier to be obtained than the former. Kb- demonstration at tends the purchase any more than the use of opium,',' In "a- cfty of 8,000 or 10,000 in another 'State the drug gists reported the sale of nearly 100 ponnds a week, and, a large portion of it to women . ' This is a painful exhibit to be made of those who con stitute the motherhood in that re gion.! But; notwithstanding the mag nitude of the evil, it is seldom allud ed td in the pulpit, or on the plat form, or in the halls of social science. Nay, the number of reformers who declaim eloquently against intempe rance is net small, who are addicted to a vice tenfold more delusive and destructive than they condemn. This subject is one that calls for special reflection by thosa who are friends of humanity and society. i 0 lilTI CAL i-O N XJ. . I Ain't I elad I'm ont of the wil derness! Jfr. R.

Immediately after the exposure of Dorsey's conplioity in the Star Route Ring, as telegraphed over, the country, attempts were begun to quash the suit which had . brought out letters and: obtain possession of the documents. Yes terday it was successful. Tb letters were surrendered, and Dorsey paid the money to Wilcox for whiqh the suit was to'be brought. This money, as ia known, is for Wilcox's wotk in securing petitions for ex pediting the routes and subletting smaller contracts. The same day on which the papera were surrendered Postmaster Gene ral James telegraphed to Denver for either the letters, certified copies or photographs of them. The telegram came after the pa pera had been surrendered and the regis ters probably concluded they were safe;' but they are mistaken. There are certified copies in existence,, and they will be used in connection with documents in Portland, Oregon. - ; - -;.: ' Oxford Free Lanoei From the Baptist Tear Booh vie learn that there are 1,673 Missionary Baptist churches in North Carolina.
