The telegraphers otour city propose opening a school of telegraphy at an early day if proper encouragement is forthcoming, having already iiad several applications Irom young men desirous of learning the art. We think it a commendable object. New lines are in process of erection in different parts of our country. A new line is soon to be built from Salisbury to the Sign il Station to be established by tiie Weather Bureau on Mount .UKCiu'i. v uca i t i "i r incies are often occurrins" together with lie establishment of new offices mi existing lines, enlarging the fk-ld. Our operators propose purchas ing a dnZf.ii instruments suitable, rent-in- a comfortable 'room, which is larse and airy, to be at the disposition of the scholars day and night. Terms will be easy ten or fit teen desired to com mence with.- A good chance for learn ing a sne and profitable business which at the same time will prove agreeable. Particulars cau be obtained at the Tele giapTi office. - TiiANKi. -A late number of the Rural Messenger, published at- Petersburg, Va., contains the loilewin handsome compliment to the News, which we re produce lor the purpose of. showing what is thought ot us abroad : ' One ol the best and spiciest papers we receive from the good old tar and turpentine State, is the Raleigh Daily News. It is a neat, creditable sheet, as full -ot life and vim as one would be likely to meet with in a day's journey. All desiring the latest, fullest and best news from the Old North State should take the above paper." Summer -Resorts.- .Now that the weather is glowing warm, the seekers of summer lesorts are naturally looking around for the most pleasant places at which to speed the hot days of the coming season. 1 here are quite a num btr of most delightful resorts in this Siute, both in the mountains and va the seashore, which should be patronized libeial'y by our people. Let the pro- pricioi8 of these places advertise in the columns of the ISews. We shall make it a special obiect to. invite the attention of our readers to the summer resorts of JMortn Carolina. - Improvements in Raleigh as Ob served by an Outsider. An Editorial correspondence in the last Hlllsboro Recorder, under date of the 21st inst., says of our city and its improvements : "The great amount ot buildings" now under contract, and those already in the course of construction in the city ot Raleigh, will reach in round numbers to-day one million of dollars,. This amount represents what has been and will have been added to the city in the last fiscal year. The population ot the city under the last enumeration was eight thousand five hundred, and this would be a little over one hundred and twenty dollars per head which each citizen has added to the present wealth of Raleigh, within the space of twelve months. "To mention a few of the principal structures and undei takings ; the en larging and otherwise improving of the Yarborough House, at a cost;'6f 50,000 ; General Barninger's block, on Wilmington stieet $20,000; Capt. A.B. Andrews' residence on Blount street, $12,000; Col. Bunting's store and resi dence on Fayetteville . street, $15,000; Williamson & Upchuich's store and warehouse on west side of Fayetteville stieet, $21,000 ; improvements to the Baptist Feniate School, $15,000; the new Fair Grounds, $30,000; the Shaw collegiate (col.) Institute $40,000 ; the Masonic Temple $05,000 ; the new Post Office, $200,000 ; the Fisher building, $35,000; and other improvements throughout the city will double thi3 amount. It would be difficult to find any house or lot in the city that does not show the mark of progress in a new lence, rool, or fresh coat of paint. The pnblic reservations, so long bare and worn, have all been fenced in, graded, soiled, and sowed in grass. "The busy hum of machinery is heard from early mom till night, while the chisel clink and the stroke of the ham mer rings throughout the city. The laborer is building himself a hut, the mechanic hisi cottage, and the merchant his palace. There are no idlers upon the stieet corners with the mournful croaking, lI have nothing to do,' all as busy as prosperity can make them." How it Works. It is a pleasant posi tion, that of a local editor, so luzy, so agreeable, nothing to do, &c, &c. To those ol our lising generation who as pire to the position, we will relate, for their encouragement, the experience of an hall hour yesterday morning : We arrived at the office at 0 o'clock, found one gentleman in waiting for us. to whom we offered to exchange the com pliments of the morning, but he was in no humor for compliments. His first remark was : "What in the h 1 have you to do with our fishing excursion, sir ? If we only took one bottle along and forgot the meat, I'd have you to understand, sir, it is none of your busi ness." We told him in a very mild tone that we would endeavor to " under stand." In a few minutes after the departure of our friend, (who desired us to "under tand,") the oor opened and in stepped a full two hundred pounder who in formed us in language loud enough for a deaf man to hear that when he wan ted a Tea store advertised in the News he would give due notification, and would pay lor it. Before we could tell him our rates, he slammed the door and was off. We thought it good time lor us to follow his example,but at the door we met our "Good Temprar friend" that had paid a visit to the Beer Gar dens. He was awful thad, but we final ly compromised the matter over a glass of ice water and parted good friend?. All this in a half hour. - 'Griffin and Mordecai Respited. -His Excellency, Governor Caldwell' has respited the condemned convicts, Simpson Mordecai and Tom Griffin, till i riday, the 0th of Jur.e, and will in the meantime consider the application for a commutation of the death sentence to imprisonment lor life. Their execution was appointed for Friday and prepara tions were already biing made for the tragic event. The Governor has not expressed himself as to what action he will take in the matter and much inter est is manifested in his decision. As far as we can learn, the sentiment of the community is divided as to the expedi ency ot commuting the sentence. The offense was one ot an aggravated na ture, but th&inen that plotted and put the plan in execution has been released as Stated witnesses, and the two men who were persuaded into the perpetra tion of this outrage are the condemned for whom the application is made. City Scrip. In our yesterday's is sue we asked the question, if there was an order of the Board ot City Commis sioners requiring the clerk to issue city scrip to employees and others for the balance of the face of the original scrip in cases where the scrip was sold at a discount! We have been shown the following ordinance which- passed the Board on May 8th, 1873: "Mr. Battle made the following mo tion : That the Board will not enter tain any motion for increase of salaries on account of losses sustained on city warrants. Adopted." The above order is in full force and effect, and the clerk does not issue scrip in any other manner than as the law directs. ' Brisk Business for Two Days. Sunday and Monday, up to 12 o'clock, M., the city guard house was crowded with men and women, of the most aban doned character filthy themselves, and despoiling eveiy thing they came in con tact with. Immediately on the empty ing of the cells Monday, Chief of Police King put a number of hands to cleaning the floors, and white-washers to whiten ing the walls. We visited the station Wednesday morning, upon invitation, and found everything neat and clean, and no unpleasant odor perceptible. Euratum. For " mileunium " read " millennium " in yesterday's editorial on "The World's Omissions." The error was not the Editor's. - New Version of an Old Story. Some of our readers wilL doubtless re member our story of the Rev. Dr. Gloss, that appeared in these columns about twelve months ago. The story having gone the rounds of the Southern and Northern press, just now appears in a Kentucky paper, where it was seen by the author of the subjoined verses. The story as related by us, (true in every particular) is briefly as follows : The Rev. Dr. Ciosa, a Presiding Elder of the Noith Carolina Conference, in pissing through Warren county, on one of his circuits many years ago, halted for the night at the residence of the Rev. Mr. Burge. He was assigned to a room that adjoined the closet where Mrs. Burge kept her sugar, jams, preserves, etc., and a door opened from his room into the closet. Mrs. Burge had a young "hopeful" of about twelve veajsof age, that frequent ly purloined from this closet some of the sweets therein contained. Remon strances proved of no avail, and - she finally informed the recalcitrant youth that she would not spare the rod if he was ever again caught in the act. Before retiring.Dr. Closs informed his host that he desired to make an early start in the morning, and consequently at an early hour Mrs. B. "set about" her breakfast. Finding her sugar-dish near ly empty she repaired to her closet to replenish the supply. Opening the door noiselessly she discovered a form near the sugar barrel, which she supposed to be her young "hope! ul,"helping himself. Rushing back to her room.she seized her hickory, silently wended her Way to the closet and with the rerxrark, "I have got you , at last," applied several raps on the devoted dead of the aged Dr. Closs (who had repaired to the closet to offer up bis morning prayer) be fore she discovered her mistake : THE ELDER'S PREDICAMENT. IiY 3. T. SMITH. In l old North Carolina, long, long years ago, Asiriveniii a laLe KAr.w.rriFT Nkw-i The lollowing occurred. and I guess it. is so. Rut believe it or not as you ciioose. There lived a good man.Ilev. Burge was his name, With his wife and an urchin of eight, Though tender 01 age yet oft was to blame, For his mother his faults would berate. She kept all her sugar just under the stairs, In the closet, for sate it would be, Where she often retired to offer her prayers Unseen on devotional knee. But with all her precautions her sugar would go, Growing less on- each day in the week, Till she lelt she could bear it no longer, and so She determined to And out the leak. - She told her young "hopeful ' that he was wak the cause ; Of it all, and was guilty of crime. And she read in his hearing a new code of laws, And she'd "flog him the very next time !" Soon the Methodist Quarterly Meeting came 'round, And the Elder stopped there for the night, And he 'rose the next morning before any sound Had betokened the dawning oflight. It had been his custom for many long years To retire to his closet to pray. And with bis petitions to mingle his tears At tiie close and the opening of day. He groped then his way to that closet to bow With no harmful or evil intent, But to pay once again to his maker a vow, And so into that closet he went. He kneeled near the place where the sugar dish lay, While his thoughts upward earnestly 'rose, -And thus for a while he endeavored to pray For assistance to bear earthly woes, But the good sister Burge imagined she heard In the closet her boy once again, So she crept along softly and spoke not a word, - t As her watching had not been in vain. Then she thought to herself, "now this habit I'll check, And I'll teach him a lesson or two; For if I do not he'll be surely a wreck, And my sorrows will not be a few." Then'into the closed she hastily rushed With a long hicu ry switch in her hand, When the prayers of that Elder were speedily hushed, And his pleadings were br.ught to a stand. With an unlifted hand she laid on with a will. And the licks became heavy and fast Thus she hoped in her boy better thoughts to instill, . As she cried, "I have got you at last !" Jean Raisi n. The Norfolk Virginian, of a recent date, has the fol lowing about North Caiolina : "The State of North Carolina has an undeveloped wealth which promises in the future to put her among the most opulent of all the States, and . it she is true to herself if she once more takes her destiny in her own , hands that future is not remote. As an evidence of what she can do, even under her pre sent disadvantages, we may mention the tact stated by the Raleigh News that the "Tokay" vineyard of Fayette ville produced during the past year twenty thousand gallons of tine wine, for which a market is readily found at remunerative prices. In other parts of the State this industry is growing up, and we see no reason why it should not become very general. Apart from the commercial advantages to be derived from this manufacture, .there arc other considerations which should not be lost sight of. In a direct ratio to the intro duction of native wines we shall see the habits of our people improve. In place ot the alcohojic drinks now used ourna tive wines will become popular, and the health and morals of our people will im prove. Jean Raisin is a better lriend to man than John Barleycorn, and the blood ot the grape is preferable to the fiery juice of sophisticated corn.
