I be expected right at James Lity where the negroe have been in rebellion because the State want- -va iu uuner ineir nomes over to the right owner, did not take place. La-tweek the Governor, finding that the negroes were in open re bellion against the authorities, tele graphed to all the troops composing the fir,t regiment of the State Guard to go al once to Xewbern where Prig. Gen. John W. Gotten would command the troops to move on James City. ! The entire 1st Regiment of ihe North Carolina Gmrd, (with the exception of Comnanv E, Pas quotank Rifles, of Elizabeth City) accompanied by Gov.' Eliaa Carr and Adjutant General F. II. Cam eron, arrived on the scene thor oughly cqnipjed to aid the officers of the law in executing the decree of court against the opitosing in habitant of James City by dispos sessing them and putting the owner, Mr. Ja. A. Pryan, in perfect and undisputed possession. - Prigadier General J. "W. Gotten, was in command, and the Colonel of the Regiment was J. E. Wood, ot Klizalx-th City. f A telegram from : Goldeboro, dated April 24th, says: 'Five special cars attached to the mail train ot the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, with 375 mem bers of the State Guard aboard, left here this evening for James City. They were tho Governor's Guards, t Raleigh; the Warren Guard?, tt Warrenton ; the Frank lin Rifles, of Iuisbur;; the Edge eointic (iuards; the (ireenville (iuards, the (ioIdsUim Rifies and the Washington IJght Infantry, with one Hotchkiss cannon. Gov. Carr accompanied the soldiers. A special to the lleiulliijht from Ncwlern tonight gives a hoeful view A the situation at James City. At the arrival of the train there several ot the leading colored men of Goldsboro and Kinston went over to the seat of war and held a conference with the 2,o0 negroes, all of whom are now willing to give in but insist that the eject ment shall be made by the projer authorities-. No further trouble is apprehended. j lieside the other troops that will arrive to re-cn force thisnumber and swell it to C.o0 the New hern Naval Reserve, commanded by Lieuten ant Francis Winslow, (late of the United States Navy) is on dutv. It is said that the eight companies' of the Second Regiment have receiv ed orders to be in readiness to go to James City, but that regiment may not te called out. Tents and camp equipage tor 5h) men have been sent to Newborn. THE PLAN TKoJtHEIl. The plan now is for the Sheriff to serve his paers in the case to morrow morn:ng, I Kicked by the troops. The oyster-patrol yacht Lily is at Newborn, and has on board a Ilotchkiss pin. The naval reserve division has two breach loading Howitzers. ! The population of James City is 2,3 IS. All sorts of rumors have been in circulation i to-day. One wai th.i. the James City negroes were well armed, bad their houses barricaded and loopholed, and had thrown up a fort, in which was a cannon. i)l course, these were ex aggerations. The temper of the negroes is said to be had, and some unthinking ones elsewhere sympa thize with these law-breakers. It was a minor that many hundreds of negroes have flocked into James City from the surrounding country. The following is the order is sued by Governor Carr to Adju tant-General Cameron upon winch the movement of the troops is based : j "You arc hereby ordered to as sembled the First Regiment and as many ether troojs as mav be ne- cessarv at iscwoern to assist tne Sheriff of Craven county in execut ing the order of ' the Supreme Conrt, all other means having fail ed in regard to placing the proper ty known as James City in psses- aion of the lawful ow ner. You will place your force at the disposal of the Sheriff of Craven county and aid him as far as necessary in the execution ot the writ, using force only when necessary." Another telegram, dated April 25i.h, from Newbcrn, says : The situation is a little less war like to day. This morning Gov. Carr and staff, accompanied by a few citizens, held a conference with the leaders at James City. The result of this conference was another meeting in Newbcrn this evening. At tins meeting the leaders of the negroes agreed to come to the terms Mr. Prvan had offered if they could get the con sent of the other i negroes. This committee is expected to report to Gov. Carr at 1 o'clock to-night. The opinion seems to prevail here that they will accept Mr. Pryan's terms only because of the presence of the members of the State Guard, as they have continued very inso lent up to the time the troops ar rived. They say now that all they want is a few "days in which to make their arrangement to rent or move elsewhere. There are about 500 men of the State Guard qnar tered here and they are amply able to quell any disturbance that may arise. HISTORT Or JAMES CITT. James City, the scene of the late troubles between the colored peo ple and the military of the State, is situated on the south ot the Trent river at its confluence with the Kcuse, and on the opposite Dank from the town of iNewbern The land on which it is located tirir formerly belonged to Gov. llichard Dobba Spaight, Junior the Elder Governor Richard Dobbs Spaight having been killed in a duel by John Stanley, at Newbern, Sept. itu, 1S02. In 16G2 General L. CP. Branch went into winter quarters at what is now known as James City, and erected a large nnmber of rude barracks there for his command These we abandoned on the evac nation of the place by the Confed erates, and a large number of ne groes flocking into Newbcrn im mediately on its occupation by the Federal army, an officer of the Freeman's Pureau one Captain James, a Congregational minister from the North, seems to have nn agined that inasmuch as said prop erty was found in possession of the Confederate troops that it had le come liable to confiscation to the United States government, and ac cordingly gave the contrabands permission to occupy the old quar ters. Not content with giving full scope to his elastic imagination in the premises, Cant. James seems to have gore further and with a magnificent suspicion of hia own consequent ionalness, he suddenly. by an illegal triins-sutstaiitiation, resolved hiuisclfinto an immaterial government of the United States, confiscated the property without judge, court or jury, and then with a Iicatitiful and boundless burst ot blandishing benevolence, most graciously presented the same to the wards of the nation there as sembled, without consideration or ceremonious acknowledgement. Acting on the immaterial imagi nation of the indiscreet and injudi cious James, the Freedmen took jHseision and have since remained vainly thinking the verbal deed of James was of full force and effect. It is said that the body of Gov. Spaight, who had graduated from . a our Lniversity in IMo. served his State in the legislature, in the Na tional Congress and as Governor, was not iermitted to rest peacefully in his own tomb, and that though he had been huried more than a dozen years before the beginning of hostilities, his dust was rudelv shaken from its casket and his leaden coffin caused to do second hand dutv in enclosing the dead bod v of a Federal officer to his home in the North. Is this so f The story was told us by a most veraci ous citizen of rsewbern. NEWS OF THE STATE. Efforts and Energies, Incidents and Industries, Persons and Thing. It is stated positively by the Grajc-G rowers' Association of North Carolina that none of the . 1 1 .a graj.es in the luiieigu section are injured by frost. John Hi!!, a well-known farmer of the vicinity of Madiso.i, Rock ingham countv, committed suicide bv. hanging lat rnday night. His mind was unbalanced. The Durham GVJe says it is rumored that Rev. Junius Horner, of the Horner School, Oxford, will take Minister Alexander s place in the faculty of the University. Mr. Henry Iloan, late of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., of Wins ton, has connected himself with the well-known tolaceo manufactur ing firm of T. L. Vaughn fc Co. An outrage occurred in the dis reputable Smoky Hollow in Dur ham last week. A man was struck on the head with a hatchet by an other man. The wound was fatal. Mr. Robert Todd, who has a farm near Charlotte, N. C, in a dispute with a woman over the ownership of a mule, was savagely attacked by the woman and severely beaten by lier. The last sale of the propel ty of W.T. Plack well, of Durham, whose failure several years ago is well known, took place in Durham last week and all bis business has wen settled. The Lenoir Topic advises its people to raise h"gs. A man was in town last week, it savs, selling shoats at Tic gross. It is the Topics opinion that a pen full of pign now would le almost as giod as the sub-Treasury. State Auditor Furman informs the public that under the new law there w ill le placed npon the pen sion-rolls the names of all widows whoso husbands died in twelve months after April 9, 1SC5.

A gentleman from New York was there last week try ing to lease it. Colonel Carr will make this a model building of its class in North Carolina. Artists from Daviville, Paltimoro and New York are adding the finishing touches. The county sujerintcndents of public instruction in about twenty of the smaller counties of the State have made an attempt to get a de cision as to whether the school taxes should be disbursed in the counties where collected or should all be sent to the State Treasury and thence disbursed pro rata among the whole school population. Tho Superior Court said the case did not come up properly on this point and to-day the Supreme Court sustained that ruling. The Mai ion liecortl says that Mary Hawk, a woman of bad repute who lived at Uynum Cross KoaUa, McDowell county, received anony mous letters the other day, menac ing her with death unless she dc parted at once.

STRANGE STORY OF A SHIP. The Mystery Surrounding The Sail ing Vessel Marie Celeste. The Marie Celesta Discovered by the Crew of a British Bark Nail in Without a Perwon oal)aN Everything Found In Proper Shape, bat the Thirteen Per sons W Were ou Hoard 91 ys teriously Disappeared. The unknown or conjectured fate of the missing stemsuip Naronic recalls among countless stories of the eea the mystery of the Marie Celeste, a sailing vessel that one day, sixteen years ago, left the port of New York. The Marie Celeste came back as sound ss a dollar, but her people, thirteen in all, includ ing the wife and little child ot the master, were never seen afterwards. As weird as the tale of The An cient Mariner," as supernatural, au parenuy, as snyiuing in me imagi native creation of "The Flying Dutchman," as unaccountable as any yarn evet invented about phan torn ships, is this story of the Marie Celeste. If the facts, as sworn to bv the crew of a Pritish bulk and on record in the State Department in W ashington, were presented in no tion or drama by some lancitul author, "Incredible, preposterous, unnatural, would be the verdict ot even an imaginative reader or lis tener. The Marie Celeste which sailed from New York in 1877 for Ville franche, on the Mediteranean, had a valuable cargo on board. Petore sufficient time baa elaps ed for the vessel to complete her voyage a British bark sighted the Marie Celeste about thee hundred miles west of Gibraltar. No an swer wasieceived by the signalling bark, and the astonished Untieher bore down upon the vessel and w ith glasses made a close xamina- tion of her deck. Not a sign of life was there! X feeling of nneasiness came over tho sailors. With u crew of courageous men the Cattain order- d a boat lowered, and pulled for the deserted ship. hen alongside they called lor those on board, but received no re- sponse. All was as siieni as me . . . . - .i - tomb irotn low 10 stern oi me phantom craft, which, with some of her sail set, was drifting slowly be fore the w ind. They boarded tha vessel, but there was an unnatural silence. A thorongh search revealed every thing about the Marie Celeste to be in its proj.cr place and in its iroper order. Only one ining oe onging to a ship at sea was lack- iug, and that was the most imjior tant thing of all life. In the sheets hung the weekly wash of the sailors, horn the davits hunir all the boats in their pproprUte places. Every rojKJ and very spar was in its place. Not a marling spike was gone Pinnacle and compass were intact. Descending the lore Iritchway, the Captain of the bark found a half eaten meal ujon the seamens' table. In the masters cabin att the remains of an interrupted din ner were also discovered. In one corner of the cabin was a sewinj-machine, with a child's gar ment still under the needle. A woman's thimble lay on one corner of the machine. The money chest was untouched. In its accustomed place hung the master's chronometer. The mates watches were in their staterooms. Everything was in ierfect order aboard this phantom ship that was sailing on and on, with no man at the wheel, no sailor to haul a rope. All the thirteen people had dis appeared as completely and myste riously as if removed by some super natural agency. The logbook, dated torty-two hours before the Pritish bark had signalled, showed that the voyage had been a prosperous one. l litre had leen no storm. There were no traces of piracy or murder. Neith er were snch suppositions tenable. There wore no signs of a struggle. No valuables were missing. The Marie Celeste was towed to Villelranche. After her cargo had lnfen safely transferred she was taken back to her owners in this citv. Through the State Department, all United States represtntives abroad were requested to inform foreign governments ol the tacts. In this wav, in every Custom House in the world, everything was done to have the mystery of the Marie Celeste cleared, but it remained unsolved. The Marie Celeste at hist came to an untimely end, representatives of tho State Dcpaitment say, as if she were an uncanny craft, too mys terious and too much feared to be allowed longer to plough the waves. Only crews with more than the usual stock of courage and less than the usual stock ot sailors' supersti tion could, after her strange adven ture, be induced to ship on her. She was employed in the trading service between New York and Cu ba. In March, 18SC, her owner, it is said in Washington, insured her heavily, loaded her with barrels of water and a few hogsheads of mo lasses, of which commodiiy her cargo was sr.pp)6ed to be compos ed, and sailed tier down to the Cu ban coast. There he ran her ashore and she was wrecked. In the trial of the owner for bar ratry, which followed the next year, the facts in the 6tory of the unac countable desertion of the "Marie Celeste at sea were developed. Xow Try This.

Valley QUEEIt COSTUMES. Followers of Barmah, El Mahdl and Mahomet Arrive In New York. A special from New York says : There was an nuaccustoined de- bouche of color on pier 3, Brook lyn, this morning, when the Benga lesc, the Soudanese and the Cairo manufacturers, who are on their way to the World's Fair disem barked from the Wilson liner Rich mond Hill, from London. The cam per colored Egyptians, who will ply their trades as reavers, engravers and silversmiths in the Egyptian village at Chicago, wore red fezes and red slippers and flowing khaf tans of black, blue and purple. There were twelve of them, and thev were in charge of Ben Yacar, an Egyptian, who has lived in Chi cago fo" the last two years. Pen Yacar also brought with him thir teen natives of the Soudan, who are to present at the fair the cus toms, costumes, implements and weapons of their country. Of these five are women, two children and six men, representing two tribes. They have slit cheeks, are black as soot and have mops of bristling, kinky hair which they oil until it glistens. On leaving Cairo each got a half sovereign to buy extra food on the voyage, but each spent the money for oil. They cross in the top of this greasy mop two 6ticks at)ont the size and 6hapc of sparpened pencils, with which they scratch their heads. Iheir costume consists of red slippers, with sharp, upturned toes, and wide white trousers from which their bare, black legs stick out. while they drape around their shoulders a big white sheet-like garment with crimson border. They also wore crimson sashes and carried shields of alligator hide. Some of them pose as follower of the mahdi. One of them, who is a dancer, wore a white garment, caught at the waist with a scarlet sash. He also wore around his waist a girdle of burnished wires and goat hoofs. The Bcngalcse, who are in chaige of S. Abdool Karee, went direct to Chicago this morning. They are to represent the Imperial Tea As sociation, of Calcutta, and will wear the costume of the !odvgtiard of the viceroy of India. This cos tume consists of a white turban, a scarlet jacket with golden braid on the collars and cuffs, and black trouscis with a gold 6tripe down the logs. WlL.Lt WEAIC THE STIC I PES. Eleven of the Carrollton White Caps Go to the Gang. Atlanta, Ga , May 1. Eleven of the one hundred and more white caps from New Mexico distiict, Carroll county, spent tho afternoon and night in ihe Atlanta poliee station on their way to Captain lorn Uonoldson s convict camps in this countv. The white caps varied in age from the gray bearded, dim-featured old man ofixty two to the young man of eighteen. The lot comprised farmers, physicians and school teachers, and each one seemed to regard his condition with a rude philosophy which resigns itself to tho inevitable. Most of them were smiling ; none of them were down cast or d'sheartened. In the main tho eleven prisoners are ordinary types of the average one-horse farmer. They are poor. uneducated, primitive in their ideas and rugged in appearance, but not altogether bad. They believed that they were doing the work of right eous reform when they took out the Pritts and Whites and gave them a severe beating on the night of March 22cid. Among the eleven convict6 who spent the night in the police station was Dr. I). 1- ,lwogers, a young practicing physician, who resides in the vicinity ot the whipping. lie studied medicine in Atlanta and has a very fair education. He was the leader ot the gang ot . white cappers and freely admits his part in the transaction. He is also a school teacher, and has, one small child His wife is dead. TA EM AGE'S DEBT CLOUD.

ABSQlifiTEUSf FURS . A MODERN MIRACLE. Little Frieda PruderHasHer Sight, Hearing and Speech Restored. Was Thought to be Bewitches! by The Ignorant Neighbors Who Threatened to Tar aud Feather The Stranger Who Worked Her Cure. OjiAna, Nkb., May 1. Jansen, Neb., is a prosperous village of 200 or 300 houses, located on the prairie. Most of the inhabitants are Germans and Russians. Among them lives John Puder, a German, who earns a scanty support for him self and family by laboring on the sheep ranch of Peter Jansen. The only one of the family who under stands English is little Freida, a girl of nine vears. Just before the holidays freida was taken ill and confined to her bed, and until ten days ago she was the victim of a most mysterious ailment. She was subject to spasms, in which her lingers were cramped until the nails were buried in her palms and her toes were turned un der her feet. She lost sight, hear ing and speech, and her little figure was racked with a variety of invol untary contortions. She was en tirely helpless for hours and days, and for one period of eight weeks life was sustained by pouring milk down her throat. At other times she imagined she saw visions. Sometimes it was an angel, then a rabbit, then sgain a woman in white kirts. A physician ventured the opinion that the child s liver was affected. Another said it was tvphoid fever; another admitted that lie did if t understand the case. The circumstances ot her sickness is vouched for bv merchant neighbors of respectability, who can have no motive to misrepresent. One superstitious old woman suggested that Freida had been bewitched. She recommended that the bed on which the child lay be searched. Accordingly the Pruders opened the tick, and curiously enough they found the feathers knotted into pe culiar shapes. The superstitious neighbor suggested that these feath er objects bo burned, saying that the witch would be the first person to visit the house after the burning. The first caller happened to be a Mrs. Miller. Her husband had at one time made a vain attempt to sell Prudtr a piece of property and they readily accepled the conclu sion that Mrs. Miller was bewitch ing the child in revenge. WONDERFUL CCRES. News of the affair reached a farmer named William Nolfens mycr, formerly of Missouri. He advised the Pruders to send for John Erinlterg. of Warrensburg, Mo., and told wonderful tales of the cures wrought by hiin. Mr. Erinburg'arrived at Jansen la6t Saturday morning, and went to the Pruderhome. The stranger looked at the child, said he could cure her, and asked for a room in which he could be alone. An ad joining room was given up to him, but what ho did in there is Un known. When he came out he was prespiring as though he had under gone some great phy sical exertion. Three times that day did he give the child this "treatment"' as he called his private operation. He neither touched the child nor gave her medicine, and it is supposed that he devoted himself to prayer w hile in seclusion. During the day there were mutterings of ill-will among the simple minded foreigners and at night a company of twenty four organized with a leader, called at the Pruder home and notified Erinberg that he must leave the town the next morning or they would prcsecute him. The stranger from Missouri ww a peaceful white bearded man of seventy, and was evidently frightened by these threats, but when Mr. Pruder and other intelligent citizens, satisfied that he was at least doing no harm, promised to protecthim, he agreed to stay. Mr. Erinberg gave little Freida three "treatments" Sunday morn ing, and in the afternoon 6he was about playing with the other chil dren of her age. Sunday night she was at the house of Mr. Pmer un til 11 o'clock, romping with his children, though she had not en tirely recovered her speech. The mob of Saturday nigh. held a meeting Sunday and determined to tar and feather Erinberg that night. Their plotting was over heard by a boy who notified Prn dcr's friends. These gathered in force to protect the old man and h;s enemies were frightened from their purpose. ANOTHER INSTANCE ON THE OLD man's row er. Among the business men ot Jan sen is Mr. J. W. Marshall, a grain buyer. He has a ten-year-old son, Floyd, who suffered for eight years from two running sores, one on each side of his neck. He had been treated at Omaha by physicians at an outlay of many bundled dollars but met'with no relief. The cure of Freida Pruder naturally become the talk of the town and t loyd Marshall asked his father to take him to Mr. Erinberg for treat ment. Mr. Ennberg looked at the lad !lv tor a moment, chatted with f him a few minutes and told him to be a good boy and said lie would be cured. In this case, the old man News. did not retire in another room. In this case another meeting was held about 10 o'clock this morning. When Floyd came to his mother about 2 o clock m the afternoon to have hu neck dressed she was sur prised to find that the sore had stop ped running and the wounds closed. A lump as largo as a gosse egg, that had been gathering on his neck for three weeks previous, had disap peared. Hardly believing her eyes and not wishing to raise false hopes, Mrs, Marshall said nothing to her husband about the wonderful change until the next day when the sores had entirely closed and the discharges ceased. It is beyond dispute that both children were sutferidg from serious ailments before Erinberg visited Jansen. It is equally true that since his visit their diseases have left then and they are apparently in good health. . Stevenson as a Fighter. Jueepbna Daniels in Carolinian.

Wrhen a boy he was noted for his pugnacity . and of all the boys in the county lie 6tood the unques tioned leader. One incident illustrating his temperament -occurred while we were both attending a district school. There were a number of bad boys, practically men, attend ing the school, who had whipped ed the two precceding men teach ers and had compelled them to leave the county. It happened that they were succeeded by a delicate little woman, scarcely as old as her schol ars. Stevenson was among ner scholar admirers. The bullies made no trouble during the first week, but in the second they became un ruly. When asked by the teacher to do their work they refused and laughed at her. The ringleader was .1" Alcnlrl. " Now Pud,' said the teacher one morning, 'please step to the black board and work your examples.' "lJud laughed at her and finally remarked : 'No 1 won't and yon can't make me.' Everybody in the school, except one, burst into laughter. That one was Stevenson. Unable to bear the treatment any longer the teacher sat down at her desk and began to cry. "Stevenson dropped Ins book. and, leaping up, shouted : '1 11 give you two seconds, Pud Alsmith, to get to work.' ' "Ihe bully laughed again, but hardly had he begun when a well aimed blow from Stevenson's fist stretched him at lull length on the floor. He was up ir a second. For an hour the two rolled over the floor, pounding, scratching, choking and biting. Then Alsmith, with his face pounded all out of shape and covered with blood, begged for mercy. He received it, and i.ot once during the rest of the session was an order of the teacher disobey ed." Aristocratic Feet Iu China. New Tork Tribune. The possession of the small feet or "golden lilies" as thev are call ed in Chinese parlance is a 6ign of aristocracy. A poor man can not s fiord to have his daughter's feet bound. A woman with com pressed feet can with difficulty earn a living. In a well to do family one daughter, usually the most pre- ro66essiniT. is selected for this dig nity.

She is forced to take an oc casional run, the mother often beat ing her child to make her run faster. If allowed to rest, the child's feet under the bandaging process would 6oon become useless. The shoes worn by the small footed wo men cannot be bought in 6hop6. Each foot hems' distorted into a distinctive and individual shape, the shoe must naturally be made expressly lor it.
