Henry Williams, (colored,) an experienced artiste in the line of whitewash ing, desires through the NiWbkbnian to inform the citizens of New Berne that he is prepared to attend personally to all orders relating to his branch of business, and that he will execute the same promptly. Those of our citizens desiring the services : of -whitewasher Williams will: pleasej leave their orders at Powell's Bakery, on Middle Street, next door to " Cheap John.

Mind, it will not drive them away, but they will not bite as long as a faintest trace of the perfuijae remains. Below you will find a receipt for a superior article. Any druggist can put it up, and l the expense is trifling: Essence oil verbena,Tv (Limdnis Trifolia) one drachm; co logne spirits,, (not cologne water) ninety-five per cent., one pint, mix and agitate for twenty four hours, then add distilled water, four ounces, and filter. Bathe the face, neck and hands, well, and mosquitoes will not trouble you. f , ...1 - , DiwoRATToif DAT.Tcy- taiev' Vtiivor of the Federal army of this community, will pay their 'tribute of respect to their late comrades whose' remains are lying in the National Ceme tery near this city. There will be no oration, poem jor vocal music, but the parties will as semble informally at about 4 o'clock, P. M., and while the ; band plays appropriate dirges, flowers will be 6trewn over the graves. In connection with this ceremony, we publish the following appropriate extract from an article in the Norfolk Landmark, giving an account of the Confederate memorial services at Ports mouth on the 23d inst: ' At the conclusion of the eloquent oration. Dr. Sj B. Itenney, Chairman of the Committee composed of Dr. . B. Kenney, M. J. Rose, Richard Bond, W. H. Appenzeller, W. N. Eaton, J. Hammond, Colonel J. D. Braddy, J. D. Penet and H. Carlisle, appointed by a meeting of the Union soldiers and sailors of this city to make a floral offering 4n Memorial Day in an eloquent and graceful speech presented Captain casseil, as the representative of the ladies, a handsome cross and two beautiful wreaths made of the the choicest flowers, as a token of high regard from the Federal to the Confederate soldiers who sleep in martial graves. Early Vegetables. Yesterday morning was the first appearance in our market of the Early York Cabbage. Very fine specimens they were, and reflect credit upon the grower, Major Herring, who must be, indeed, a skillful gardner to bring these cabbages so well matured, into the market at such an early date. We are told by Mr.' Hamiltonj 'one of our dealers, that the interested in Horticulture a prodigy of its kind.1 Our attention 'was also called to specimens of native 'plums, full ripe and r luscious. s This is indeed a climate -and a soil that will fully repay the labors of ' our Horticulturists. 1 We have our rivers and railroads to transport their; products to "distant markets. Truck farming is the great key note of "success for the Eastern farmer and not cotton. We are happily situated and should by all means take advantage of our position; it is well enough for those farmers . distant from transportation to grow grain and cotton,) but Lwith Jus it is quite a different matter. Success we say t to all, but we1 think our truck farmers f are Upon the right road of success.- ., . - t.,..' : ? r-r -f 1.J - , "The editor of the Lancaster Examiner, who- by the way is Naval Ofiicer of thepoxt of;Phila delphia, is; willing to supports Grant for a third term. K. K. K. Purnell, the Radical candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, while in this city last week authorized the Times to deny in the most emphatic language that he ever belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. We saw a letter last j evening from a .gentleman in For sythe County, affirming that he was present when Purnell was initiated into the order, and giving the names of other persons who were present at the time. Wonder if Lillington, member of the Radical Executive Committee, if put upon the stand, would not also add his afiirmation in this matter. , On Col. Pool's return home from the canvass in the First District this letter will be put into his possession, and we have no doubt that he will charge the falsehood home to Tommy. An excellent example he would make for the youth of the State. The - Baptist Sunday School. As per an nouncement, the teachers and pupils of the Baptist Sunday School of this city met at their church on Thursday morning, at 9 o'clock, for the purpose of hearing an address from our fellow townsman, Wm. Whitford, Esq. After Che usual exercise of singing and reading of the Scriptures and prayer, Mr. Whitford delivered an address on Truth," which was listened to by all present with marked attemtion. We do not remember ever having heard a more appro priate address for such an occasion. It was happily conceived and well delivered, without ranting, pomp or parade, but in a dignified, manly way, becoming the place, the occasion, and the man, to the great edification and de light of all present. We have heard Mr. Whit ford before, but upon this occasion he excelled his previous efforts. He is a young man of whom this or any other community may well afford to be proud; and with "Truth," which he bo well defended and beautifully illustrated as his motto : and guide, he will make his mark in the world both creditable to himself and benefi cial to hii fellow man. We hope Mr." Whitford will furnish his address for publication. After the conclusion of the exercises at the church, the Sunday School, under the manage ment of Hon. C. C. Clark, their able Superin tendent, formed into line and marched to the foot of Craven Street, "where they found the Co chrane, a delightfully comfortable Steamship which had been kindly tendered to the School for the occasion, awaiting their arrival. The day was beautiful, a gentle breeze from the South-east rippled the water and fanned the fair cheeks of the lady members of the School. At 10:30 the gallant steamer was cut loose from her moorings and amidst the hurrahs of the children and strains of delicious music from the New Berne Silver Cornet Band, who had most generously given their services to the School, we started off in the direction of the Light-house., All nature seemed "to have put on her best attire in honor of the excursion. . The banks of the river, even to its mouth, were cov ered with the freshest verdure Spring ever af fords, and contrasted with the dull, insipid waters of the Trent. Jt was a sight which I am certain will not soon be forgotten. The Captain, the Mate and the crew we found to be exceedingly kind and courteous ; they an swered all questions with promptness, and seemed anxious lo contribute all in their power to our enjoyment. The Cochrane is probably the fastest! boat that sails from this port ; mak ing generally from 10 to 12 miles per hour. Mr. Douglass, :in efScer of - the Cochrane, explained to us the use of buoys, and the first mate made intelligible the mysterious compass. The Captain was constantly occupied in seeing that nothing happened to mar the pleasure of the occasion. ; : We glided smoothly on, without ac cident, until that most welcome of all times the dinner hour, when we were shown below and requested by Mr. Clark, to satisfy our ap petites, Ifjit took all on the table. He remarked that if there wa nothing left for the balance of .the'nWg'ixcluciists,' "he would bear all the blePF sniile Svhich betokened satis- faetif United in the directipn of the table, d lo, and behold ! there was enough W on! have fed a thousand men. ' The chil- drerjuSife quietly andVot ?. rude thing was" done lor said to remind'ns that we were away from 'Hpme, Sweet Home ,, :"'.''" ' . iJ& 3 o'clockNsre were"twithin five miles of the Light-house, arid after being allowed to gaze upon it to our saisfactipn, the wheel was turned, the boat 'Came round," and once more we were steaming 'away iip the direction of home. The band discoursed $veet music all day, and never seemed to; tire inj laying for those whom they knejw highly appreciated their performances. Precisely at 7 P. M. we .landed at the dock from whence we -had started in the morning, e band playing ' Home, Sweet Home !'' I The children, were then requested by Mr. Clark to fall in line againj Jwhich was done, j With many regrets they realized for- the first time that one had of the most delightful trips of the gone by forever. If ; ' season Mr. H. C. Whitehurst thanked the ofneers and crew of the Cochrane, for their kindness and at tention, in a few j well-timed remarks, to which the Captain replied in a very happy manner in deed for one unaecustOmed to speaking. I Mr. Clark returned thanks in a few eloquent and graceful remarks, in behalf of the School, to tne New Bernej Silver Cornet Band, tor tneir valuable services!! S, I The School was then marched to the Baptist Church, where a prayer was offered up and the excursionists dismissed. All enjoyed themselves during the day, and went home, no doubt, think ing pf the pleasures sweet May brings. I Mr. Clark says his School is under excellent control, and as well drilled as a company of soldiers. i f : X. The Spread of the English Lang-uue. ' I notic one stSking change in Egypt. !Thi8 is the astonishing spread of the English lan guage within th& last twenty years, resulting' both from the numbers of English and Amer ican travelers who visit the East, and the use of the language by travelers of other national ities. French, which until within the last few years was indispensable, has been slowly fading into the back ground, and is already less avail able for Italy, and all the Orient I was a little surprised in Rome at being accosted by a native boot-black with 'Shine up your boots?" In Naples every peddler of canes, coral, photo graphs, and shell-fish, knows at least enough to make a good bargain ; but this is nothing to what one meets in Egypt. The bright-witted boys . learn the language with amazing rapidity, and are so apt at guess ing what they do not literally ! understand, that the traveler no longer needs an interpreter. At the base of Pompey's pillar to-day, a ragged and dirty little girl came out of a fellah hut and fol lowed us, crying, "Give me ha' penny !' All the coachmen and most of the shopkeepers are familiar with the words necessary for their, bus iness, and prefei to use them, even after they see that you are 'acquainted with Italian or Ara bic. The simple, natural structure of the1 Eng lish language undoubtedly contributes also to its extension. It is already the leading language of the world, spoken by ninety millions of peo ple (double the dumber of the French-speaking races), and so extending its conquests year by year that its practical value is in advance of that of j any other tongue.
