; CoMMSKDABiLE. The following appeal to the
generosity of the citizens of New Berne amd
vicinity was being circulated yesterday by Mr.,
Juliu3 Ash for aid to suffering humanity, to
which our people are liberally responding:
"Another terrible calamity has befallen two
of our sister, States : Louisiana and Mississippi
cry for help in their distress. After struggling
for years to rise from poverty, caused by a dis
astrous war, they are now in a starving condi
tion, having been visited by a flood which
spared neither man nor beast in its course of
destruction; thus the accumulation of years of,
toil have been swept away, and. those who had
plenty are now crying for . bread. v . y : ;
Contribute your mite: toward their relief, and
the Giver of all blessings will reward you for
so doing.'

Mixixa Soap. Blany. of our . readers in the
- country may prefer making their, own, soap
However, many tare , trouble in getting :godc
nnfln. Hickorv ashes are th best, but those
from sound beech, maple, or almost any kind
of hard wood, save oak, will answer. Make, a
leach by setting boards in a trough in V slixe.
In this way the strength of the ashes is better
obtained, and it may be taken, to pieces when
of in use. and laid ud. Put in the bottom of
the leach a few sticks: over these spread a piece
of carpet or woolen cloth, which is better than
' ktraw; put W a tew Jnesyp(jfyom
four to eight quarts . of lime ; fill witJi; ashes,
v moistened, and damp down tamp, the firmest
in the centre. , Take about four gallons of lye,
and boil up thoroughly with this twelve pounds
" of clear grease, then add the lye as it is obtained,
keeping a slow fire and stirring often, until you
have a barrel of soap.
Waseebd Ashobs. Our readers will remember
reading in last ! Friday's issue of the Newbbb
nian, an account of the heroio fight of Duncan's
cat with a large rat on the market wharf ; that
pussy and his ratship fell into the basin and
both were drowned.
We learned at a late hour last night that the.
dead combatants were, found on the beach at
Hog Island, , where . they had been washed,
ashore during the recent wind storm, and that
they "were still interlocked as when they fell
into the market basin, i We did not learn
whether tha coroner had been , notified of tho
fact that the bodies had been recovered!
Obstbuctions. For the v information 6f all
concerned, we publish the, following Ordinance
in relation to obstructing Sidewalks or Streets
in the city of New. Berne ; . ; - -v;,f ?
. It is ordained that , no boxes, barrels, pack
ages or other species of obstruction shall be
allowed to remain upon any of the sidewalks or
streets of the city" for a longer time than six,
hours. Provided, z -That : this Ordinance , shall
not apply to any boxes, barrels, packages or
other ' obstructions , that does, not extend more
than three feet from any building. ' t ' '
Any person violating this Ordinance shall be
subject to a penalty of not less ' than two nor
mora than five, dollars, for each and every
offence. ' ;
And in default of payment, shall be impris
oned or put to work on the streets of tho city at
the discretion of the .Mayor. ' - . -
Homs-Madk Mats. --Take.the smallest bits of
cloth, left after cutting clothes, or preparing the
materials for any carpets. Pieces over an inch
square are too large, so it can : easily be seen
that this' way of making rugs will use up the
pieces, otherwise of no account except for the
rag-bag. These little bits must be strung on a
cord, the.edge being ; raveled, out so as to pre
sent a soft, fuzzy appearance, and wound and
sewed like the; braids in a braided matj it will
be difficult to distinguish it from chenille, work.
In regard to colors, you must consult your own
taste. The style called hit-or-miss, in which
you use all colors indiscriminately, as they are
most convenient, has often a very good, effect, if
plenty of bright colors are used ; in any other case
it is apt to have a dingy look. Decided con-,
trasts, or shades of the same color are better in
mats of this kind. S

Sicxxt. A prominent white Republican and
gentleman' of culture, in"' answer to our query
on yesterday as to the state of his health, r;
marked thivt he was quite unwell; that he had
been sick ever since the recent City Convention
when .Trustees ' for the New Berne Academy
were nominated; that he was a candidate for
the position, but that he stood no sight what
ever with the colored aspirants. Who wouldn't
be sick under the circumstances ? , . -
Attention Pabents. 4-Yesterday in passing
up Craven' Street, 'we saw two children, one
white and. the other colored not more than ten,
years of age, who seemed to, ba engaged, in a
quarrel, , judging from their belligerent4 posi
tion, one having a large knife open in his
hand, ' and the colored boy a large brick or
stone in his. A gentleman across the way
called to the white boy ta put np his knife, and
while his, head, was turned, the other struck
him upon the head with the missile he held and
ran. No serious damage was done, we suppose,
but parents cannot be too careful about cau
tioning their children in reference to such
matters. . - . j - :--.. ' . ,.- -

that the " muddle was ended " by. the appoint

case, as we understood yesterday that " Mr.
Stanly said he was no longer President. The

Green will show how the matter ended this
