THE EXPOSITION.
Il appears now that the good people of
Xoi th Carolina are determined to renounce
old muni's. The popular soubriquet by
.which North Carolina has been for so long
a time known the Tar, Pitch and Tur
pentine, or the same fore-shortened, as the
artists would say, into Tar Heel State
has been wrested from us, against our con
sent, and is now getting to be obsolete as
it is well known we can no longer maintain
.nr former supremacy in the production of
these valuable products. The other name
by which we were formerly known, the
Hip Van Winkle State, however true it
may have been at -any past part of the
State's history, can now no longer be ap
plied to us, for the famous period of Rip
Van Winkle's sleep certainly finds no
parallel in the record of industry, and
spirit of progress that is nowmtt on every
side in North Carolina.
The Exposition movement to develop
the resources of the State is but fairly
commenced, and0 already Borne forty coun
ties have caught the spirit of development
that will when brought into full play bring
North Carolina into the fore-front of her
sister States, and make her to be called by
As a matter of information we will name
the counties which have taken, either offi4
cially or semi-officially, or by the action of,
meetings of leading citizens, steps to be
represented by a proper display of crude
resources and manufactured products :

official action, together with many others
which seem almost sure to do their full
part, and wten collections shall have bee
actively commenced of the many things
we have to biow, the very activity which
w ilt be displayed in finding out what our1
resources really are, will be of great value
considered entirely outside of the intrinsic
worth of the collections that will be made.
There will be a pardonable pride displayed
in endeavoring to show which are the
favored portions of North Carolina, and
this pride should be fostered by all proper
means. North Carolinians 'when fully
aroused have always been equal to every
emergency, n war and in peace. An old
legend says, hat on a certain occasion the
following thesis was found tacked on a
chiirch door in Germany: "War brings
poverty, poverty brings industry, industry
'brings peace, peace brings plenty, plenty
brings pride, and pride brings war." We
have had the war with all of its horrors
and desolations. We have been brought
face to with poverty, and now we are in
the transition state to industry in all of its
varied forms.' Each of the counties of
North Carolina should be foremost in de
veloping this spirit of industry, and it is
- to ; be hoped that " every committee ap
pointed in each county will leave no stone
unturned to do anything that may result
in permanent good to the people of their
section. They should take pains to advise
the officers of the Exposition of the names
and post-office address of each member of
each committee, and . should by all means
from time to time give advices of the pro
gress of their work. JSuch information
will be of the greatest practical value.
We would suggest as a matter of inter
est that intelligent men in each county will
at once make lists of the following items
and forward the same to the President of
the; Exposition in Raleigh, viz:
1. The various kinds of timber and me
dicinal shrubs and the supply of each,
whether abundant or limited.
2. The agricultural products.
3. The different kinds of minerals and
probable supply so far as known.
4. The game, fish, birds and animals.
5. What things are manufactured in the
county.
This work may le but a matter of pleas
ant recreation to many well;informed men
and will again furnish the most useful and
prctical information.
This is a matter that appeals so strongly
to the State pride of every citizen, that no
one should fail to do everything that he or
she can to, further it along to a successful
issue. ; . ,

Bryant v. Kinlane. Action to recoter land.
When the purchaser of land at execution
sale sues the defendant in the execution, if
such defendant had any estate in the land
which was liable to sale under execution
by the Sheriff,' such purchaser can recover
such possession and estate as the- defen
- dant had, and no other party can come
into such action and prevent the recovery.
But if such defendant was only the servant
or agent of the owner and thus held the
land, the owner may come in and defend
the action.
Where a stranger sues the tenant, there
being no privity between them, the owner
will be permitted to defend the action and
possession of his tenant.

Everybody knows Gulley's. It is one of
the best conducted dry-goods, houses not
only in the State but in the South. The
reason of it is that Mr. Gulley has studied
the tastes and wishes of this community in
the line of business he has adopted, and
has made it his chief aim to amply unite
them. He buys what is wanted and sells
it at prices that give him only a living and
a legitimate profit. In this way he has
built up a large patronage, which he takes
pleasure in serving satisfactorily, and
which he intends to increase until it gets
as large as his good business sense can

University Publishing Company.
Maury's Geographies have given more
comfort to teachers and information and
pleasure to pupils than any other school
text-books published. The clearness
and correctness of the text and maps,
the beauty and adaptation of the illus
trations, the arrangement of the ques
tions, the natural treatment of the subjects,
and the binding of "the books are all that
could le desired. The principles of phy
sical geography being given first prepare
the student for a- better appreciation of
the political features. The New Standard
Time, which is shown by map on the Re
cent Event sheet and on the map of the
United States, is very beautifully and
clearly explained. Maury's books are not
only the best but are always up with the
latest advancement in geographical science.
The -best schools, North and South, use
them.

' There are few people who have been
guests of Dr. Blacknall at Kittrell, Wel

scratching their memories many acts of
kindness and courtesy -which he has done
them. All these good folk will be glad to
know that the Doctor is prospering and as
jolly as ever, and gladder to know that he
will welcome a few friends at a time at his
hospitable establishment on Fayetteville
street. His house is as fresh as water,
work and paint can make it. His furni

We ask attention to the advertisement
of Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Co.'s publica

popular, while the "New National Readers, 'r
just coming from the press, contain such
splendid matter in such elegant dress, that
they are sure to become "standard" as
they claim to be. The "Ficklin's Arith

the new "Sills' Grammars " and Bardeen's ,
Complete Rhetoric, are admirable text
books.
G. "W, Blacknall, Broker.
From a long and thorough acquaintance
not only with the business of Raleigh, but
of the while State, Dr. George JW. Black

of a broker. His large acquaintance with
business fmei and what they want, will be

a good site for the lumber trade. Within
a few days letters have been received by a
resident of Alm& saying that those gentle
men were much pleased with what they
saw and, that one of them would soon re
turn and complete negotiations for the
purchase of a suitable location in that
vicinity.
Pine Hair Mattresses.
The Acme Manufacturing Company,
(Cronly & Morris), Wilmington, N. C, are
having a boom in pine hair for mattresses.
This hair is manufactured from the leaf of
the pine, and is unsurpassed for upholster

pounds, and the company is selling it at
four cents per pound at the factory as fast
as it can be turned out. Car-load lots are
sent to New York, Philadelphia, Cleve

THE LAST ARAB DEFEAT.
(Ne' York Papers.
General Graham telegraphs that five of
ficers and eighty -six men were killed and
eight officers and one hundred and three
men wounded.' The rebels numbered
from ten to twelve thousand. They left
six hundred dead at one point of the
square, and one thousand five hundred
rebel corpses were found in one pit. Their
loss is four thousand killed and six thous
and wounded. After the battle Osman's
camp and three villages were burned.
Osman, before the battle, went twenty
miles to a "holy spot" to pray for success ;
after the battle he fled to the hills.
The Arabs retired before - the English,
slowly and sullenly. They were defeated,
but not put to rout. They walked away
as if sauntering through a bazaar, with
arms folded or swinging at their sides.
They were often shot down, but this did
not hasten their companions' speed.
It was impossible to take prisoners. The
wounded Arabs would lie motionless,
without uttering a single cry or moan, and
watch their chance to stab the advancing
British with knife or spear. The victors
walked among the wounded as among so
many vipers. A wounded Arab killed a
British marine during the night. Another
attempted to stab Colonel Stewart while
his aide-de-camp was giving the wounded
man water.
At one' time S the British had a narrow
escape from disaster. They advanced in
two brigades, Which were thrown into the
form of squared. , ' A series of encounters
followed. Soon after leaving Sariba, the
great body of the rebels charged the lead
ing square, spearing many of the British.
The sailors who were inside the square
closed up, and the 'rebels were repulsed
with great slaughter. The advance was
again resumed, when immense hordes
rushed upon the British from both sides.
A terrible struggle ensued. The Arabs
fought with the greatest pluck and bravery,
but nearly all were killed. The Second
Brigade met with obstinate resistance, and
was at one time repulsed. The rebels,
under cover of the smoke, crept close up
to the British; lines, and dashed against
the marines and the Sixty-fifth and Black
Watch Regiments, throwing themselves
upon the bayonets of the British and
giving and receiving fearful wounds.
Great confusiqn ensued. The Sixty-fifth
began to retreat, crowding upon the ma
rines, when all became inextricably mixed.
General Graham and his staff did their
utmost to rally the men, retreating eight
hundred yards to enable them to reform.
Assistance frqm the other brigade pre
vented a serious disaster.
The government are in doubt what
further steps iq take in the Soudan now
that General Graham has won his second
victory. It is rumored that Mr. Gladstone,
will dissolve parliament in order to get the
sense of the country on the Egyptian ques
tion. All the indications go to show that
the rebellion in the Soudan is of a much
more formidable character than it has been
supposed to be. A number of Arab rebels
have reappeared at Tamanieb. They at
tack all stragglers that approach; them.
There are nS signs that the defeat of
Osman Digna has crushed the spirit of the
rebel tribes.
THE MINE DISASTER
N.-Y. Hemid Teldgram.-.
It is believed that 150 men were in the
mine at one o'clock on the morning of
March 13. when the report of an explosion
resembling the firing of a park of artillery
shook the ground and dwellings around
the mine for" half a mile. This was fol
lowed by a continued rumbling sound w ith
intermitting shocks for fully one-and-a-half
minutes. The reports reverberated and
reechoed along the valleys for some time
after the primary shocks "were heard and
felt. The sleeping inhabitants, awakened
by the alarming sounds were terror-stricken
and slow to realize that a catastrophe un
paralleled in the history of American min-
1 1 1 !l . . 11. i 1
t .
ing nau ovenaKen me poor ienows ai worx
in the mine. ! Not one survivor remains to
to tell the tale. As well as can be ascer
tained, the men in the mine were about
equally divided, white and colored. Luck
ily not over a score of the whole num
ber were married, so that, in comparison
with other disasters the widows, "and or
phans are not as numerous.
TERRIBLE WRECK.
The Herahf correspondent visited the
mine-tins morning. The indications of
the fiery blast from the mine on the surface
show that it shot with tremendous velocity
from all the entrances southeast and north.
Heavv mine cars, weighing more than a
ton, standing six hundred yards within the
entrance to the mine, were hurled from
the mouth and smashed to pieces against
the opposite side of the valley, two hundred
yards away. The hot blast as it swept
forth blackened and scorched everything
it came in contact with, and destroyed nu
merous buildings in its course. Every im
pediment in its way, including trees, trucks
and buildings, was shivered and cleared
away. The locomotive engine shed was
blown down. The trunks and stumps of
.trees were blackened and charred, and hill
sides and ground are covered nearly an
inch thick with coal dust. ; All the evi
dences go to show that the blasts must
have swept the Whole mine and have
quickly dealt death to the unfortunate
miners. It was unquestionably an explo
sion of fire damp. There is now no imme
diate prospect of the recovery of any of
the bodies pf the dead miners.
Yesterday the mine was discovered to be
on fire. It' was decided by the superin
tendent and engineers to seal up the en
trances at nine o'clock this morning in or
der to" check the progress of the fire.
THE TARIFF.
Speaker Carlisle's Turin" Views.
Herald report of Free-Trade Dinner.
The experience of mankind has shown
that it is almost, if not quite impossible to
devise any system or scheme of duties up
on imports that will not to a greater or less
degree either injure or benefit private in
dustrial interests, and I never hesitated to
sav that I would rather benefit them than
injure them ; but what I mean to assert is
it that when the primary or principal object
of the tax imposed by, public autnonty is
to foster a private interest, it is not a legiti
mate use of the power of taxation, but is
simply spoliation. (Cheers.) : Whether
what is called protection, direct or inciden
tal, is or is not really beneficial to protect
industry is a question about which I.
imagine there will never be anything like
perfect unanimity of opinion. But what
ever may be our opinions upon that ques
tion, most of us will agree, I think, that
there may be conditions under which it
might not be wise to make a sudden change,
even from a bad policy to a good one.
(Applause.)
NEED OF CONSERVATIVE ACTION.
When manufacturing interests have
grown up under a high protective system
and in a series of years have adjusted them
selves to it, and when those engaged in
them have become accustomed to rely upon
the bounty of the government for support,
it might be injurious and even disastrous
to them to suddenly repeal or greatly re
duce the; duties. Such a course would
seriously alarm many who have employed
their capital in these enterprises, and when
capital is really alarmed, even though it be
without cause, the result for the time be
ing at least is the same as if there were
really danger. For these reasons, if there
were no others, it has always been my
opinion that it is the duty of Congress to
proceed carefully and conservatively in its
legislation on this subject (applause)
having due regard at every step to the
large interests involved. In other words,
I am in favor of a reformation, not a revo-
lution. (Cheers.) But, Mr. President,
this process of reformation must go on un
til the power of taxation is used only for
proper purposes. There must be no step
backward (cheers) nor any deviation
from correct principle and sound policy.
Gov. Vance on the Trlfl".
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, re
sponded to the toast Equality before the
Law." It was very true, he said, that, in
a limited sense, all men were, equal before
the. law, but all men of sense knew that it
was not really true. If an American man
ufacturer was permitted by law to go to
Europe to engage laborers," and he was
not permitted to go to Europe and buy a
jack knife, where was his equality before
the law ?" If he raised cotton in his field
without expense to the public, and he was
compelled to pay a heavy tax to his
neighbor who spun it, where was the
equality before the law ? The laws were un
equal, and there would be no equality until
the laws were purged of their inequality.
(Applause.) The catchwords of a party
embodied a great deal of falsehood and
fallacy. He believed that the object
sought to be obtained by the free traders
could be obtained by the proper amount
of agitation. It was a sad commentary
upon American freedom if that boasted
freedom could not relieve men from the
slavery of the tariff.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
The Democratic caucus on the Morrison
Tariff bill will not be held before Saturday.
There are evidences that it is daily becom
ing stronger before the country.
The Senate finished the discussion of
the bill for the relief of Gen. Fits! John Por
ter last week, and passed it. It is the old
Senate bill, and denies to Gen. Porter the
back pay granted by the House for the
time that he was out of the army.
A Senate bill provides that after the' 1st
of October next the rate of postage on
mail matter of the second class, mailed
from the office of the publishers, including
sample copies, or sent from a news agency
to actual subscribers, shall be 1 cent per
pound, or fraction thereof.
A bill has been favorably reported to
the Senate from the Committee on Educa
tion and Labor to establish an educational
fund and apply a portion of the proceeds
of the pubUc lands to public education, and
to provide for the more complete endow
ment and support of colleges for the ad
vancement of scientific and industrial edu
cation. Mr. Cox, of North Carolina, has been in
structed by the Militia Committee to report
a bill providing that the Secretary of War,
upon the application of a Governor of a
State, shall be authorized and directed to
detail from! line officers of the regular army
above the rank of first lieutenant, at least
one officer, whose duty it shall be to re
port to the Governor of such State, and,
under his instructions, to act as instructor
of tactics, customs of service and all things
appertaining to the military service.
The House of Representatives on Friday,
by a vote of 129 to 60, refused to grant a
pension to Septimia Randolph Meikleham,
the sole surviving grandchild of Thomas
Jefferson, who resides at Georgetown, D.
C, with two unmarried daughters, upon
whom she is dependent for support. The
proposition was to pension her at the rate
of $2,500 per year. The Democrats op
posed the pensioning of Mrs. Meikleham
on the ground that it was contrary to the
teachings of Jefferson himself to create a
civil pension list and unwarranted by the
Constitution.
The Protection and Tariff Reform fac
tions of the Democratic party are slowly
and hesitatingly coming to the "prevari
cation of the roads," to use a Western
phrase. Mr. Morrison has finally resolved
to submit the Tariff Bill to a caucus, and
let those take their departure from the
Democratic party who choose to revolt
against the caucus deeision. Without a
caucus it is believed that Mr. Randall will
carry fifty men with him against the bill.
If adopted . in caucus it is confidently pre
dicted by the Carlisle-Morrison mn that
Mr. Randall's fifty men will dwindle to no
more than twenty at the utmost, and leave
him with so few followers that when the
bill is called up its opponents will not be
able to muster a majority against its con
sideration. ITEMS OF GENERAL NEWS.
The elder Cash has heen released on
bail $2,500. The younger is expected to
come in and be turned out on similar terms.
The Massachusetts House of Representa
tives has passed a bill, 96 to 24, restoring
the whipping-post for the punishment of
wife-beaters.
The Ontario (Canada) Legislature has
passed a bill giving widows and spinsters,
who have the necessary property qualifica
tion, the right to vote at municipal elec
tions. Murder will out. At Dayton, Ohio, n
aged woman on her deathbed confessed
that she had killed her daughter, a young
woman, the mystery of whose murder, in
1867, completely baffled the authorities.
The Iowa Senate has voted 26 to 24 in
favor of submitting the woman suffrage
amendment to the people. The same
amendment was defeated in the Massachu
setts House by a vote of 144 to 50.
Wm. McDowell died last week at Traverse
City, Mich., aged 104. He was the oldest
Mason in the world. . This was settled be

made a Mason in Lodge 298, Balleymaney,
County Antrim, Ireland, June 23, 1807.
A thirty-eight inch vein of corundum
has been found in the Pennsylvania anthra
cite region. As there is but one mine in
the State, and very few in the world, the
find is particularly valuable. A Boston
company has come to the front and bought
the tract upon which the vein was found.
Last week the price asked for the tract
was $300, but the price paid was $50,000.
During the past seven years over sixty-
three million pounas plue tobacco were
manufactured in Petersburg, Virginia.
Over two thousand operatives- were em
ployed in the factories, while the amount
of money expended in the business was
over twenty millions of dollars. The total
amount of internal revenue taxes collected
in Petersburg from 1877 to 1883, inclusive,
was over $7,000,000.
Samuel McDaniel, near Savannah, Ga.,
ploughed up a jug of whisky last week
and drank himself to sleep. Worried by
his continued absence, the man's mother
sought him out and awakened him. The
weight of the jug attracted Mrs. McDan
iel's attention, and a closer examination
resulted in the discovery of 1,900 five
dollar gold pieces, or a total of $9,500.
McDaniel's grandfather was a Captain, in
a Florida regiment in the time of the war,
and was killed in battle. It is almost cer
tain that the money just found was part of
the. dead Captain's fortune, which the
grandson will probably drink up.
FOREIGN FACTS AND FANCIES.
Another explosion of dynamite in Lon
don on Monday last. It occurred at a ho
tel in Fulham, a suburb in the southwest
ern skirt of London, and one man was
blown to pieces.
Trichinae are doing an alarming amount
of damage in Germany, and all can be
traced to the German hog. The natives
may yet find their only relief in American
pork.
The British have again beaten the rebels
in Egypt. Over seventy of the British
were killed and one hundred wounded.
General Graham has taken up his quar
ters in the camp from which Osman Digna
and the rebel hosts were driven. The en-
emy fought most stubbornly and the battle
was much heavier than the engagement at
Teb. ,
Bismarck has explained, in a speech to
the Reichstag, his Tom Ochiltree row in
the matter of Heft Lasker's obituary. He
could not endorse the political allusions in
Tom's obituary notice, so he returned it ;
but he puts salt on the tail of the Ameri
can eagle and will doubtless capture that
screaming bird by many Words of good
will toward this country, which must be
taken in good faith ; and even with a claim
that Prussia prevented the recognition of
the Confederacy by certain European
States -a claim not altogether in accord
ance with the facts.
There is peace again throughout South
America. The war which Chile began on
February 14, 1879, by seizing the Bolivian
port of Antofagasta, came to a close March
10, 1884, by the ratification of the Iglesias
treaty by the Peruvian National Assembly.
Chile has absorbed the entire sea-coast of
Bolivia and the Peruvian nitrate province
of Tarapaca, is also master of the provinces
of Tacna and Arica, which are the outlet
of Bolivian commerce to the 'world, and
disclaims any liability for the Peruvian
debt, although the revenues and guano of
the annexed Peruvian provinces were spe
cially hypothecated as security for it.

Very Hard Cash.
Wadesboro Iutelligeucer, March 15.
About four o'clock Sunday morning a
special train from Columbia stopped a mile
below Cash's Depot; the Chief Constable
of the State, accompanied by twelve picked
men, disembarked ; they surrounded the
house and awaited developments ; between
four and five o'clock Colonel Cash went
out upon the back piazza ; he saw a man
standing in the back yard ; hailed him ; ho
response was made; he hailed him again,
and still no response ; he took in the situa
tion, darted back into the house, dressed
himself, and passed out through the front
door, armed with two pistols and a Win
chester rifle; tried to pass through the line 1
of pickets: he had gone about a hundred
yards when he suddenly found himself
facing the muzzle of a rifle ; he was com
manded to drop his gun or fall himself;
he did drop the gun instantly, fling up his
hands and exclaim : ' My God, don't shoot
me ; I am not. the man you are looking
for!"' He was captured and disarmed; he
was arrested as an accessory after the fact,
taken to Columbia and lodged in jail.
A coward in battle, a brute to helpless
prisoners of war, intrusted to his keeping,
a bully in time of peace, an inciter if not
an accessory to a murder, Colonel Cash
ought to be hanged by tihe neck until
dead, as an example and a warning to all
others who are not willing to live in peace
with their fellow-men, and who wilfully
violate the laws of the country in which
thev live.
Bayboro, Pamlico County.
New Berne Journal.
The corporate limits of our little burgh
are one-and-a-half miles in length and
something near one mile in breadth, com
prising twenty-six dwellings occupied by
white families, and eight dry goods, gro
cery and furniture stores. Taking into
consideration the fact that seven years ago
there were but six dwellings and two stores
in the same area, and that the greater por
tion of these buildings have been erected
within the past three years, we are justly
proud of the growth of our bit of a vil
lage. The Elm City, quite a handsome little
steamer, makes semi-weekly trips between
this place and New Berne.
The immense swamps of our county are
being drained and cleaned into as fine
farming land as any to be found in the
State ; a soil well adapted to any product.
OCR JUDGE STRONG.
A Plain, Hlnnt Man Lkrucrtben Him.
Wilson Mirror.
The perfect consecration of Judge
Strong's magnificent abilities to the cause of,
his clients, as is shown in his untiring and
persistent efforts in their behalf, challenges
the highest admiration. His unconquer
able resolution, even in the face of an irre
sistible rush of an avalanchian sweep of
conviction, reminds one of the attitude of
Ajax when braving a thunder-storm and
defying the flashing of its lightnings. A
stronger (no pun here) advocate we have
never seen in a court room.
Washington Items.
Washington Gazette.
We saw in the Clyde warehouse this week
five hogsheads of molasses for shipment to
New Berne. This molasses had been im
ported here from whence it was shipped to
that point. And yet we are not a port of
entry. '
Washington now has a candy factory
conducted by Mr. Duffy, late of New
Berne. It is now on a limited scale, but
will, we know, grow to larger proportions.
Stylish, Bat My !
New York World.
Adolphus wore his breeches tight;
Of this he did not think
When he put on the roller skates
To show off at the rink.
Hie first adventure was the last ,
He'll put on skates no more:
He tried to kick the roof all in,
And sat down on the floor.
When Dolphy dropped the girls all laughed
It was an awful fall
And when they had their backs all turned .
He backed up 'gainst the wall;
He called a friend, took off the skates, J
And giving him the wink,
Said, "Jim, lend me that long-Ulted coat,
I want to leave the rink."
