The "Much ado about nothing" which

ours. There are but five stands of colors

py, joyous little orphans. A correspon
dent in the Hetoa and Observer says: "We
'wish to mention specially Julia Gabriel,
the little orphan singer of the otate. She
i3 about thirteen years old, with a sweet
sad face, and her exquisite voice goes
straight to the soul. She sang a little solo
which elicited rapturous applause." Julia
is a native of Beaufort, and our people
should subscribe liberally to the support
of that institution.

to have a melon festiral on the 4th Satur
day in July. Farmers generally are in
vited to attend. Thjere will bo public
speaking at the same time. Editors of
newspapers are to be, regarded on that
occasion as having special privileges. The
editor of the Record: is especially invi
ted to help eat the melons.
ANNABEL AND OTHER POEMS.
BY ELLEN T. ALLERT0N.
John B. Alden, New Yrork, Publisher.
The author givos us in this little volume
a poem of much tenderness end poeticr ut
terance ; one of those sad, sad experiences
over which the heart weeps and the moral
sense reooils, as on the verge of an abysm
of wrong. Dante modestly turns away
and silently makes the" sorrowful lovers
say. in their dread penal abode, as they
relate their tale of woo.
"We knew it not, but 'twas an ill book we
read
And then we looked into each others eyes
Wc read no more that day."
The author of Annabel depicts the love,
the struggle of what Taunahauser calls
"Life's seen of bliss, life's seen of woe
To love aud be loved again, yet know
There lies a gulf between."
With importunity, as women better not
write. The husband dies they meet
a-ain and marry travel far are happy
and then comes the revolting catastro
phe. It would seem the author hasaaim
sense of retribution, due unhallowed emo
tions that disturb the sanctity of wedlock,
for she does not close her tale leaving the
two fn possession of each other, but Anna
bel is the victim of an accident that con
signs her to the maws of a shark.
Ellen P. Allerton can do better than all
this and w e wish she had spared us such
revolting detail. What is ghostly does
not come within the province of art. We
wish a woman had not written Annabel,
and surely no man would have .written it,
from an intuitive recoil.
We do not mean to imply that any ghost
of a husband would have seized the wife
t)i wrist as Scott describes, and have
obliged her ever after to wear it bandaged,
in proof that "Lawless love'is a crime in
the world of spirits, for Annabel is not a
vulgar breaker of her marriage bonds,
though she wishes them broken.

A GRAND RECORD.
We call 3rour attention to the adver
tisement of a 'remedy which has stood
the tost of more than a half century with
increasing popularity and is universally
admitted to have no equal as a. remedy
for the cure of diaeses originating in a
disordered liver, such as dyspepsia, Bill
iousncss; Constipation, Headache, Colic,
etc. Simmons Liver Regulator is simple
and harmless, purely vegetable, a:id can
be safely and advantageously used under
any circumstances. It acts mildly and
effectually and is especially valuable as a
Family Medicine, which position it holds
in so many homes. We do not know an
other preparation which can bring forward
such indorsements from heads of families
and, those holding the highest official and
social positions. Keep Simmons Liver
Regulator in your house, it will reduce
your doctor's bill and insure for your
families health and happiness.
It. teems strange, but it is nevertheless"
true that the world contains people who
will try to imitate, counterfeit or substi
tute .something else, for a Genuine, meri
torious article, even to the extent of
making a spurious medicine, risking life
and health and it behooves everyone to
look that they buy only .the genuine.-
Zoilin & Co., have used the prcaution'to
put on the front of each wrapper their'
trade-mark of a curved Z entwined around
the mortar, aud on one side thp signature
of J. fl. Zeilin & Co. Frauds should
always be denounced and the true reinc
dies only upheld.

The schooner Gold Leaf Is engaged in

bor. Shad fishing (or m onhaden), is the
money making thing of this day and time.
If some one would put up an oil and
scrap factory on Dudley's Island opposite
this place, they .would soon find it to be
a paying business. Vessels can lay along
side the shoro drawing G feet of water.
At this time there are millions of menha
den in these waters, White Oak River,
and in fact all adjacent waters are alive
with them. We are informed that Dr. J.
W. Sanders contemplates putting up a
factory on his land on Bogue Sound. . We
hope same 'one will not forget Dudley's
Island, and erect one there. Dr Geo. N.
Ennett and others would doubtless take
stock, as the Island is his property. We
hear that Mr. W. S. Chadwick has made
clear this season over $10,000 on his" shad
factory. '
A case of man stealing occurred in our
village a few nights ago a man came nf
from Morehead and stole, took, kidnap
ped, or carried away one of our civizens
about midnight The kidnapper came in
about dusk in the evening, and seemed to
be very fidgety, wanting to know all
about everything that had taken place
since he was here before, said he owed
some little debts, he wanted to settle,
and sent all the parties word be was com
ing to see them, was going to stay a few
days, &c. But he wanted to sse "Tobe,"
this party hearing of this, got out of the
way, and shipped aboard the schooner E.
Francis, Capt. Harden Jones. That
night however, the kidnapper got his man
somehow, from off the vessel or some
where else, and left, paying his creditors
over the left, leaving several board bills
of long standing unpaid. Capt. Jones
says the midnight man stealer. U the
champion liar, thief and scomvlroj of
modern times, he fooled Ci-pt. Jonf-s
pretty badly.

COMMUNICATED.
: Beaufort, N.C, June 28th, 1SS7.
Editor Record: I hopo that you will
not think me impudent in asking a place
in your columns for this communication.
I do not wish to offend anyone,, nor do I
write to please anyoneVmj writ simply
to state facts. Our people have been
asleep to their every interest. " Tho few
who are appointed to manage our county
affairs have been faithful' to themselves,
and a favored few only,! and at a heavy
oxpense to the county. Who pays the
expense ? The laboring inert. You toil
ers who sret vour living by the honest
sweat of your brow. Do you ever think
of, and compare your situation ? IJo you
know that by your labor the finances of
this countv is derived? You have the
burden to bear, your little effects are tax
ed to the utmost value. The wealthy do
not in this county, pay ten cents on the
dollar, in proportion to you. This seems
hard to remedy, it has been so for years
and I fear will so remain unless the peo
ple take the matter in hand. You are
the depositors, then why should you not
control the offices and disbursements?
This vou can do by going .to tin ballot
box on the day of the elections, and irre
spective of what some i office holder or
politician will say, and cast your vote as
freeman for your own interest regardles s
of party. You say and have a right in
so saying how are we to decide ? We
have tried men in whom we had confi
dence, and after, receiving our support
and votes, instead of ; representing the
people, and their best interests, they do
nothing unless it is sanctioned by one or
two men the bosses. This being true,
the best wav out of tho difficulty, is to
look into the past management of the
politicians of our county. Notice their
workings during a canvass. See who are
leading you I and saying hotr you shall
vote. In 1833, after the close of the civil
War: when we had returned back into the
Union, with a State constitution under
tho hew order of things; then tha "two
great parties oftthat day, the Conservative
md 'Republican were asking you for your
kuffrages. Both claiming to bo the friend
of the poor man. In that year the elec
tion in this State resulted in a victory, for
tho Republicans. During their reign
under the : disordered condition of the
State, all bad legislation was credited to
that party 1 A part at lea it was winked at
by the opposite. Both prtie3 took ad
vantage, and went for individual gain,
regardless of the good of the State. The
Republican party had all the wildcat aud
Corrupt acts of that Legislature to shoulder,
notwithstanding many Of the most ex
travagant acts passed wers voted for by
the other tide. I hope that no one, in
perusing this, will think for a moment
that I wish to. excuse the Republicans of
that day. They were indeed a reckless,
set led by non-residents) men, who did not
have the interests of the people at heart.
These were the days when disorder and
corruption prevailed. This state of af
fairs was greatly changed in the next
clecti'U!, and continued up to 187G. The
Conscrvaties then elected their Chief of
ficer. It was then said that all corruption
would ceaso. The 3v'flt Reform party,
would wipo out all tho corruption Ac.
Tint-? it seems the Co!;srvi,tives or Reform
pjirty had fulfilled its t mission, and wo
heard no more of thein, stve ii few. ex-
plosions . '
Tho Democratic party, better know n in
olden days as the, "Rale or ruin j arty,"
succeeded the Conservative party. This
party not being deep rooted enough; did
not. benin to show its cloven foct until
ings of that party in tlie Sta-to. I will
conic nearer homo, if you really believe
that there is need of a change iu tle way
and manner our county is mr.naged, you
cannot get it by the Democratic politi
cians, ofliee seekers and office holders,
falling out with each other: and forming
factions. One faction saying they will
give yoa good healthy county govern
ment, will represent tho people and noti
individuals. It cannot be bd iu that
way. Yon cannot get It by supporting
ono faction &nd then the other. You
have tried it, and when tho fight is over,
yon think you havo achieved a great vic
tory you wait the result. Tho result
expected never . comes, to your snpilso
and great disappointment, you find the
politicians planning together and divid
ing up the foils. Tho Reform must le
about face, not half way. If yen arc
drinking and wish to get sober v yon can
not do it by tapering oiZ You must turn
from it, "Touch not, taste not." Vote no
more faction tickets. These factions are
only gotten up to deceivo you. I know
some of our best citizens who labor hard
for their living, not subpecting any wrong
having the intercut of their county at
heart, who aro mislead and deceived.
They never study tho tricks of the of
fice seekers, the politicians and men who
live out of the county crib; Have the
county bosses been faithful to the Inter
ests of the people ? . Have we not been
heavily taxed, nnd that far beyond the
legal rate of t&xation? Our people have
paid tho same time and time again. Do
you not think that if tho money collected by
taxation from the people 6ince the close of
the war, had it been judiciously expended
our county would not owe one cent? We
might even include the Rail Iload debt,
wh ich has had much to do in keeping the
wrong men in offlce. They havo beeu
kept there under the pretext that :-"If you
do not keep us at the head of your county
affairs, you will have the Rl R. debt to
pay." You have been told so and led to
believe it. When that Iailel, your were
told to "keep certain men ovtr tho jury
b.ox, and you would see no negibes on the
jury." These seem to be the l3st props
to keep corruption in the county. Ex
posures have been made of the bad man
agement in the past, what will be tho
pretext in the next election? I believe
the. good people of the county, having had
their pockets rifled by high taxation eo
often w ill legin to fcc tho hobby and
learn the scare crows; and look better to
tlicir interests than ever before. The
party last will fail to work now. The
noble meu of Carteret will not be march
ed up to the polls to cast Uieir votes fori
the benefit of the few to the injury of the
many.

TEMPERANCE.
r
The elections , now being over I wish to
propound a few questions, for any one to
consider who will.
First, why do the temperance people
strike at dram drinking all tho time to tho
exclusion of other sins equally as bad ?
Second, . Will not the temperance lec.
turers admit that thcro is as much disease
and death brought about by fashionable
dressing as there is by alcoholic spirits?
Third, Why hot rebuke the sin of put
tinfe a number three shoo on a number five
foot, or a number eighteen corset on a
number twenty waist ?
Fourth Is a person fit to lecture against
dram drinking who is'himself or herself
intemperate in other things?, .Suppose a
man is covetous aud wants to make more
money than common people do, is that
man fit to lecture on temperance? Sup-
tx)se a woman talks too much-and her
tongue is always running whether any
body else is heard or not, is she fit to talk
to o,her people about temperance 9
Fifth. If a man is paid three, four or
five dollars per day to make speeches, ti
that man fit, with that extortionate mind.
to lecture on temperance? .
Sixth, If a man loans out money for
ten, fifteen, or twenty per cent, when the
law onlv allows him six or eight, is he fit
to lecture on temperance ?
Seventh, If a merchant makes money in
these hard times, and his customers work
just as hard as ever and still get poorer, is
that merchant fit to talk about temper
ance?
Eighth, Is that woman fit to talk about
temperance who has ni teen or twenty
yards of fine cloth in her dress made by
tho milliner at a high price and then her
cheeks painted and her face powdered
and a gold watch and gold chain on her
person.? J ' "

Queen Victorias jubilee was celebrated
with appropriate excrctaes In the Metrop
olitan Opera House on Tuesday morning.
The exercises -consisted of music and
speeches by .prominent citizens among
' it . hi
wnom may oe mentioned, mayor newiu,
ex-Mayor Low and Erastun Wiman.
Mayor Hewitt ordered tho flags of tho
City Hall to Iks raised In honor of tho
Queens jubilee. Many of the Irish Alder
men and government office holders stood
aghast at this mark of respect to Great
Britain, but aovertheksss, wero afraid to
oppose the mayors action. Mayor Hewitt
is a thorough American and did well when
Lo raised the flags in honor of Queen Vic
toria's successful reign of 50 years. At
St. Goorge, S. I, the fireworks wero wit
nessed by fiilly 20,000 people. Among
the.sct pieces, was a colossal portrait of
Queen Victoria, tho British and Ameri
can flags crossed with appropriate mot
toes beneath, in the evening at Cooper
Union Hall a jubilee celebration of anoth-;
er color was held. Irishmen and son's of
the sod filled tho mourning d raped hall
and listened to speeches aud resolutions
condemning England and tlie Quoon.
The procession In London was probably
the grandest tho world s ever witnessed
and tho services at Westminster Abbey
must havo been of a particularly uteres-

Tho excitement occasioned by th6 Pres
ident's cotinterrnaiKlod order to return tho
flags taken from the Southern armies dur
ing tho lata war has partially subsided.
Everybody acknowledges that It was. a .
very thoughtless aud foolish affair from
the beginning to the end and many aro
surprised that the President should have
made such a mistake. The flags are the
property of the great United States, the
North and South alike. Tho proper place
for them, is at Washington, the capital, -where
they may bo admired by those who
fought so bravely to defend and tboto
who shed their blood to take them.

have been obliged to do their sleeping be

a succession of thunder storms since the

night a sharp clap of thunder brought
many a one out of their beds into th mid

end of the world had at last arrived or,
had they, Rip Van Winkle like, been
sleeping and were aroused by the first
peals of the glorious fourth- Uy the way,
the mayor -vetoed the aldennans resolu

New York pet regiment the Seventh"
is iu camp this week at Peekskill. It is
a comical sight to see some of New York's
swell society men doing guard and po

dread, for with these in hand a squad of
our noble guardsmen are compelled to go
through the camp and clean up the rub,
bish of the day. Guard mount, buo of
the prettiest exercises of the day? is al
ways witnessed by an immense number of
visitors. Camp life with the Seventh
means plenty of hard work and is not the
glorious racket that it is cooked up to be. .
