It was midnight, and pour ing down rain. Some country wo men had to get off, and they were in a terrible fix ; didn't know what to stop. The con ductor told them there was a hotel they could go to, but they said they had only four dollars among them. A man raised up from a near seat, and asked: "Captain, where are those ladies from ?" "From Chat ham county, sir." "Well", said he, "no woman from my district shall stav out doors such anight as this for want of money," and he handed them a ten dollar William, then fell back asleep behind his hat.

How this announcement brings up the memories of our boy hood. How vividly to our imagi nation reappears the scenes and thoughts of our first visit. The painted band wagon, the glitter ring costumes, the splendid horses, the little ponies for which our youth ful heart was lost in admiration. And the '"old clown." How we looked in admiration at his striped legs, and listened to his wise say ing, and thought that if our future life could bejust like that man's we would discard all attempts to imi tate the example of Washington or any other great and good man. We had heard that Washington could not tell a lie, but then we thought, poor innocent, thateven if he could he never could tell as funny ones as our "old clown." And then the "Elephant." How we followed that huge fellow through the streets and wondered which end the 'snout was hung to, and whether the tusks grew there or were driven in. Hut we forbear, those days have long since past. There is one thing we can do however, we can take our little prattlers to see the sights, and even thouirh we cannot relish the scenes as of old, yet our hearts will be gladdened to witness the pleas ure and share in the delights of our dear little pets. Let us all go Dave Lewis, will be there. We are indebted to our friend Professor Fairchild for a lot of nice Scuppernong grapes, grown on his farm a short distance east of Ral eigh.

Fort Wayne, ml.. Sentinel, May 12. The Mechanics' and Work ixgmex's Journal, Raleigh, N. C, edited by T. M. Argo, Esq., has been laid o:i our table. This is an able and well printed paper, filled with choice selections and interest ing editorials. Mr. Argo is a fine writer, and we wih his paper all the success which such an enter prise deserves. A copy of this Journal should be In tho hands of every working-man in this State. Last month a large Mississippi cat-jfisli (Pimolodes Mississippien sis) was caught at Fort Pickering south of Memphis, Tenn. And when examined it contained a sil ver spoon marked Steamer John Simons a lady's gold locket with initials A. E. engraved on it. The Steamer John Simons was wrecked in the winter of 1SG0, and these trinkets must have been In the stomach of the cat-fish for thir teen years at the very least. Both locket and spoon were uncorroded and as bright as when bran new. Fish Domesticated. Several i of our enterprising members of the North Carolina Agricultural Socie ty intend exhibiting at the next State Fair, several "Pools" of fish of their own raising. This is a culture which should be encouraged, by means of suitable premiums more than it has yet been in the past. If the State Society will grant premiums for the finest pair, male and female, of our na tive flsh of different varieties ; and also good foreign kinds ; it will call our farmers attention to this impor tant branch of Farm-culture. Our fish-farmers can then have the op portunity of comparing the various edible sorts learn which are best adapted to private lake cultivation, which are most saleable in our markets and those which are easiest to breed. Premiums should also be given for the best constructed Fishlakes ; and to the Fish-farmer, who has suc ceeded In rearing the most, and lar gest fish. This would be the means of greatly encouraging and stimula ting our fish-breeders to take much more interest in this important and paying business of the farmer, .espe cially near the markets, than has been heretofore bestowed upon so valuable a source of both pleasure and profit. We hope to have the satisfaction of examining many aquaria filled with the beautiful fin ny tribes, that would make even old Sir Isaac Walton's palm itch to get a pull at them, at our next an nual State Fair in October. The Good Templars. At the State Grand Lodge, held in Greens boro. the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: W. C. Troy, O. W. C. T. N. B. Broughton, G. W. C. Mrs. N. Caldwell, G. W. V. T. Sam'l J. Fall, G. W. S. Miss M. E. Stray horn, G. W. A. S. J. II. Welborne, G. W. T. Rev. C. C. Dodson, G. W. Chap. R.A. Grier, G. W. M. Miss L. M. Lindsay, G. W. D. M. Miss Blanche Fentress, G. I. S. J. R. Pagc,G.O.G. Rev. Thos. II. Pritchard is the Past Grand Worthy Chief Templar. The following were elected dele gates to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge, to assemble in Boston, next May : Wm. S. Bali and N. B. Broughton : alternates, Miss Annie Lindsay and Mrs. Nannie Caldwell. On Thursday, the following reso lutions, presented by W. S. Ball, were adopted : He it Resolved, 1. That the organization of col ored Good Templars, in the State of North Carolina, is entitled to ana receives the hearty sympathy of this Grand Lodge ; and that while our orlcanic law excludes colored Good Templars from affiliation, we recognize them as co-workers in the cause of temperance and humanity. 2. That in the opinion of this Grand Lodge, it will be more for the well-being of the colored people, to cultivate habits of self-reliance and independent action ; and to this end, we recommend to the various colored Lodges of Good Templars, for the purposes of greater efficiency. 3. That the Grand Worthy Secre tary bo directed " to furnish rituals; cards, odes and other necessary ar ticles, at the authorized price-list, to the Grand Worthy Chief Temp lar or the colored tirand .Lodge, so soon as he is satisfied that a thorough and permanent organization of the same has been effected. 4. That the officers and members of this Grand Lodge and of the sub ordinate Lodges under this jurisdic tion, be reqnested, at all times and under all circumstances, to encour age and assist the colored people in the formation of temperance so cieties, and do all in their power to build up the temperance cause among them. 5. That, recognizing the power of tne press, as an exponent and guide or public opinion, we recommend to the publishers of the Spirit of the Age, me official organ of this Grand Lodge, that one page of that Jour nal be devoted to the interests of the colored Good Templars of the State The Spirit of the Age was adopted as the official organ of the Order in North Carolina, and the Grand Lodge subscribed for the same, as follows : For Lodges containing less than one hundred members, one copy each ; for ' those containing more than one hundred and less than two hundred members, two copies each ; for those containing more than two hundred members, three copies each. Resolutions of thanks to the Rail road companies that had commuted fare were passed ; also thanks to Dr. Pritchard and the retiring officers, for their zeal and efficiency; also to the citizens of Greensboro for their hospitality, and to the Greensboro Lodge for the use of their hall. The Order in North Carolina is in a prosperous condition and is evi dently destined to accomplish great good.

Although Ral-t-iglfhas not as yet assumed such huge proportions, as in our opinion to Justify a lln of street can for pas-enKers, yet, we thlnfe rail road running through the length of FayetteviJe and Wilmington streets and connecting with - the Raleigh t Gaston road at Separks' foundry could be made to pay as a freight road. Merchants doing business on the streets above named, would find it much cheaper and ex peditious to have their goods hauled from the depot in this manner than by tlie present mode, especially du ring the wet season. A general clubbing In of the merchants could easily be effected, and we presume our city Fathers would grant the right of way. Violation of Internal Rev enue Law. Supervisor Perry has received information of the seizure of seventeen boxes containing C13 pounds of plug tobacco, in the 1st collection District of South Carolina. The wagon containing the tobacco rhanlnd hv the Collector and Deputy Collector whiie making a tour of inspection through Williams burg and Horry counties. The peddler In charge drew a pistol and presented It at the officers, who being unarmed, were unable to make a seizure at that time. Arms were afterwards obtained and the wagon followed forty miles. The peddler escaped but the tobacco was found where It had been con concealed and the seizure made. The Hector reports that fre quent violations occur in his Dis trict," and thinks it necessary to have more force to protect tne in terests of the Government. Re-Union of Mexican Sol diers. A re-union of the survi ving officers and soldiers of the Mexican war, residing in North Carolina, is announced to take place in Raleigh on Monday, the 15th day of October, during the Fair week. We are not advised as to the exact cause of the assem- I bling, but learn that it is proposed among other things to discuss the propriety of unity of action in re lation to the pension matter. The veterans of our Revolution have nearly or all passed away. The soldiers oflSli have dwindled down toja few hundred, and in a few years more, none will be left. The Government annually contributes to the support of these in the way of pensions. The Mexican war differed in some respects from those In whlen oat ovvrnmeni had bv fore been involved. It was not a war of defence, but rather to up hold our dignity as a nation. It was to vindicate the right of the Republic of Texas to ally itself to our country, and to do this it be came necessary to invade the soil of Mexico. Its results are well known. The State of California and other large tracts of Territory were acquired by treaty of peace, and the wealth thus thrown open to our people, at least would Justify the Government in doling out a pitiful pension to the noble men who so gallantly upheld the starry flag in a foreign clime. We are unable to obtain a full list of the regiment from North Carolina, but the following are the officers as well as we can now recollect, viz : Col. Robert Trent Payne, Lieut. Col onel J. A. Fagg, Majoy Munford Stokes, Gaston II. Wilder, Pay master, Wm. II. High, Deputy Paymaster, Col. W. J. Clarke, now Judge Clarke) we think, went as a Captain, and, John Hoke as Lieutenant. Col. Clarke was pro moted to Major on account of gal lant conduct at the Natural Bridge. Our late Major and present clerk in the post office, Col. W. II. Harri son, was promoted to Lieutenant while In Mexico. We wish these gallant men a happy re-union, and trust the government will not be ungrateful, but will render unto those faithful servants full praise, and at least not allow them in their old aze to suffer. Let them have a I pension, they deserve it ! Tuk Dry Goods Houses of Raleigh. The State Fair 13 ap proaching. Everybody that can get to Raleigh is expected. When they get here they must either carry the old lady and children a "coat" or else there is danger of a fuss in the family, or should the fair dames and lasses accompany the okLl man, they are bound to go a shopping. Beginning In order, we notice the house of W. II. & R. S. Tucker fc Co. To many of our readers a short history of this house may prove of interest, it Is one of tho largest houses in the State. Its founder was Ruffin Tucker, Esq., father of the present Col. W. II. & R. S. Tucker. After his death, about twenty years ago, the boys took hold of the business and enlarged the store now occu pied byfl the Southern Express Company. Hero until , the com mencement of the war, they done a very large and flourishing business. During the war they were engaged in the commission and auction bus iness. I After the cessation of hostilities these gentlemen purchased the va cant lot and erected their present splendid building. Since then their progress has been continually on ward. Everything in the dry goods line can be found here, from a hair pin to the most splendid silk dress es, calicoes, linens, cloths, hats, caps, boots, shoes, pant stuffs, &c If you call for anything they have not got, they will get it for you. Col. Tucker has just returned from Europe, and he never misses a chance to obtain a novelty. There is only one drawback to the Colo nel he never had time to get mar ried. Ha My' that when nuit a boy, his father carried him to the store one day and hung his hat on a peg and told him to stay there. The Colonel says he "has been peg ging away ever since," and so he has. This firm has always adhered to the golden rule, "mind your own business and let other people's alone." Rufus S. Tucker and Thad. McGee are the junior partners. Ruf knows his business, and attends to it too ; and we believe Thad. is so fond of dry goods that he dreams about his business at night. Taken all together, this firm is composed of live men; and each cleric in the house takes as much interest in the business as if everything belonged to him. The Tuckers Know now to raise business men. The next in order among our live dry goods men Is Alexander Creech, or as his friends call him "Aleck." -Creech rose from the ranks enlisting as a private he has promoted himself to the proud po sition of one of the merchant princes of Raleigh. He is a judi- w v 1 1 A. cious buyer, lie icnows now w suit the trade. Creech studies to please. If you ever meet him going to or coming from his meal?, quietly smoking his cigar ami looking thoughtful, you may know Creech Is thinking about replenishing his stock, lie never lets old rags remain on his shelves. He sells for small profits and he makes quick sales. In speaking of his goods he says like the map man, people will have them." Creech deserves success a jtmn liko him uive mm mai. . ,. ,-( . , Jonas Rosenbaum is another go ahead fellow. He can be found at all times at Kline's old stand.corner of Hargett and Fayetteville streets.! Now, Jonas tells you,, exactly.what you are going to buy before you make the purchase. If he tells you an article Is good, you may , rely; on it. He is a capital merchant, an honest man, and a good fellow. , He L doing a thriving business, and constantly Increasing. He, like Creech, is the architect of his own fortune, having risen from the ranks to one of bur solid business men. ' M. Rosenbaum fc Bro. - occupy the store next to Alfred Williams' book store, on Fayetteville street. These gentlemen have on hand a large stock of good3, which they are offering on' the most reasonable terms. They are good merchants, polite gentlemen,. and deserve suc cess. We want them to have it, aud we are ' confident they will. They are doing a good business, and their prospects for a large and flattering custom are fine. And now comes L. Rosenthal, who don't know "Rosey." He Is a prince of good fellows. , He can be found at all times at his store on the east side or Fayetteville street a few doors from Fisher's building. We say he can be found at all times because he la never known to leave his 8 to re except on business .1 Rosey" can't suit you," then "you are hard to please. ne has every thing you can call, for, and if you bother him much and he finds you are needy, he would rather sell you goods at cost than to miss just try him and see if we don't tell the truth. And now for Newsom we mean Boss Newsom. He has opened for himself, on his own hook, and we predict lor mm a glorious career. He knows all about goods. " Boss" graduated at Tuckers. He can shut his eyes and tell what good are. He is an industrious, worthy young man, and such men always succeed. Messrs. Higgs. are located in the same block as Newsom, on the west side of Fayetteville street, above Creech's. They have a fine stock, and are offering bargains. They energetic men, and good merchants. Give them a trial. Zacharias & Co. are located in the building formerly occupied by C. W. D. Hutchings, on east side of i Fayetteville street, a few doors be low Tucker's building. They have a good stock, and will sell at low rates. Our space will not allow us to notice others to-day. We propose to pay our respects to Grocers in our next. The Clothing Merchants and Tailors shall also have a space.

The German barque Malvina Schutt ar rived at this port last evening, bringing six survivors the mate and five seamen of the German barque Vorwarts, bound from New York to Lubec. During the late severe! storm, the Vorwarts filled and capsized, but floated on her car go. Captain Schubbe, carpenter Klein, seamen Hentze and Grass much were drowned. The others clung for life to the wreck, which gradually sunk lower in the water, hour by hour, as the cargo broKe out, without food or drink for three long days and nights, when tney were rescued by the Malvina bcnutt. The sufferings of these unfortunate men are described as terrible, and when picked up were well nigh exhausted. Capt.

The daily papers "took hold of us" and helped us on. We received a larere number of sub scribers and a good many advertise ments.

Adopted Unanimously by the Repub lican tscaie uonveniton' at uyncn- burg, July 30th, 1873. J i I g The Republicans of Virginia, in State, convention assembled, do now formally announce their principles o the voters of the commonwealth. They . reaffirm and reiterate their platform of 1872. They endorse and approve the administration -of President Grant in the past, and pledge it their support for the future. taxation. We are in favor of the ad valorem system of taxation, , as adopted by the State convention, as the only just and equitable system, and pledge ourselves to its support and enforcement. . - i The tide-water population of the State have paid without complaint the taxes necessary for the support of the State debt contracted for pub lic improvement, from which they derive no local advantage, and are entitled to demand a repeal of any law levying a tax upon any inter est or property not general in this commonwealth. Resolved, That the Republican party of Virginia, through its rep resentatives in the state and nation al government, recommend the to tal abolition of the tax on tobacco as soon as it can be done without detriment to the national finances. internal improvement. The greatest good for the greatest number, being one of the principles of Republicans, we are in favor of such a system of public improve ment as shall best secure that re sult. The necessities of not only Virginia, but of the whole country demand increased facilities for cheap transportation. We are there fore in favor of the early completion of the James River and Kanawha canal, and call upon the Congress of the United States to take this mat ter into consideration at the next session, and make an appropriation for the same. Believing it to be a national necessity, it should be a national highway. We pledge the Republicans of Virginia to use every endeavor to secure its early com pletion. i We also favor such a lib eral system of railroad improve mentas shall tend to develop al sections of our state, and we cal upon the voters ST this common wealth to unite with us in securing these desired results. THE PUBLIC DEBT. The Republican party of Virginia in common with the national Re publican party, is opposed to al forms of repudiation, and favor such a finanicial policy as shall tend to the payment of the public debt of the State without being oppressive upon her citizens. We regard the expenses of our State government as disproportioned to the available resources of the people, and demand that they shall be made more fully to confirm thereto, we disapprove all extra compensation, and favor economy in government, State and national : that we deem the act known as the "funding bill" as im politic, unjust and oppressive, and enacted solely in the interest of bondholders, regardless of the con dition of the State's resources ; and we are in favor of and demand the submission of the question of the financial obligation of West Vir ginia to Virginia to the supreme court of the United States for de cision. material development. We are in favor of the develop ment of the material resources of our state, which under the rule or the Conservative party and its pre- i i ? . j x mi aecessors, nave lain aormant. ine mines of coal, iron and other rain erals, the vast water-power, and the many other material resources of the state, which exist in rich pro fusion on every hand, need but en terprise and capital to develop them, and thus make Virginia one of the greatest manufacturing states in uie union, io cms ena. we are in lavor or sucn liberal legislation as shall tend to encourage the in vest ment of capital in mining and manu facturing operations, and of general laws of incorporation, together with such a liberal spirit on the part of our people as shall invite men of enterprise to come and dwell among us. " reform in the administration OF JUSTICE. We are in favor of reform in the administration of justice in this State, and an enforcement of the State constitution in this respect, which will secure impartial justice to all. irrespective of race, color, condition or political sentiment. We favor the election or tne presi dent, vice-president, and an other officers of the government, as far as possible, by the direct vote of the people. ARBITRATION. We approve and endorse the noble and humane policy inaugurated by General Grant's administration, whereby all international disputes shall be made the subject of arbitra tion, thereby preventing the dread havoc of war. FEDERAL COURTS OPEN TO ALL. The Federal courts should be ac cessible in all the States, to all citi zens on appeal for redress of wrongs or protection of rights, In cases, where, upon a proper showing, equity demands it. REFORM IN 8TATE LAWS. We demand reform in State laws in order to secure fair elections, by the abolition of partisan supervisors, to enable every voter to exercise the right of, suffrage according to the dictates of his own conscience.
