Dick King, under the nom de plume of "Citizen," desires it to be in- 'ferred thai Carpenter is "the nominal editor of the Newbebnian." We call the attention of "Citizen" to the brief, but earnest notice that, when not crowded out, daily appears upon the local page of this paper, the caption of which reads thusly: "7b all whom it may concern." We plainly say that "Citizen," in these prem ises makes another willful misrepresentation." Mb." Editob: Our community know that the finances of the A. rejoice & N. C. to R. Road are in such flourishing condition that the ex-President, E R. Stanly, 1 feels justified in drawing his pay to July 1st. We trust that the road now will prorate satisfactorily! with other roads, both for passengers and freight, and also for excursion trips to the mountains, and notify the public that they have done so. We think now that the up country "fellers" will quit calling it tne Mullet itoaa, as its nnances are in such good condition that it can afford to pay two Presidents each such a salary. Stockholdeb How the Thing Works. In Frank Leslie for June 13th, we find the following apt illustration of the workings of the Civil Rights BilL A U. S.

You must either sleep with him or go into the street" - Mb. Editob. Will XXX please jgive the pub lid the statistics, as to the number of ' 'the poor innocent girls'' who "committed suicide?"

(N)ice cream, lemonade and cake, to gether with the presence of the fair ladies, will present such an attraction as no young man should resist. The object in view in raising money by this means is a worthy one, aiid money invested now for cooling purposes will, most probably, next winter, be the means of vbarming some of the destitute poor of the city. Pebvebsion. Under the nom' de plume of 'Citizen," Dick King represents that, because he "did not grant the Editor of the Newbebnian a free pass over his road, the Editor aforesaid asserted he would 'go for him.' " We.- never asked Dick King for a pass, especially for our self ; but wished to know if he would give the members of the Press the same privilege as did the other railroads of, the State ? Dick King an swered the, query in the following words: "These newspapers are all nuisances. we proclaim the above-mentioned representation by the aforesaid Dick King, under the nom de plume Citizen," a willful perversion. Sanitary. Since the recent rains the fetmos- phere has become sultry and oppressive, and it behooves our citizens to use every precaution to cleanse their premises. JThe heat of the sun causes rapid evaporation from decaying vegeta tion and other matter, and if not attended to by the use of disinfectants will cause sickness, and in its train follows suffering and frequently death. We must not put this off, as it is a sub ject fraught with too serious consequences, and must be dealt with at once. We hope our Com mon Council will take immediate steps to have an examination of all places that are likely to breed infection and disease. It is better to in vest a few dollars in the purchase of disinfec tants than to lose long sleepless nights in anxiety and suspense, in watching by the sick ; bed of some relative' or friend. This city is naturally one of the healthiest in the State, and if the citizens will do their duty those who are not able to spend their Summers at the sea side or mountain resorts will be as healthy as they who do. Give lis strict sanitary laws, and all will be well, and when "Jack Frost" visits : us again, we will have cause to congratulate the efforts of our citizens and the city authorities. We do not wish to become tiresome by recur ring so frequently to the sanitary condition of our city," but we think it a matter of such vital importance that we, as public journalists, can not but give the wjaxning note before it be too late and the enemy be npon us. Now is the time to act, and if possible place our city in such condition as will insure us from all diseases of an epidemic character. : j i. i Don't Cake. Dick King, under the psetidony mous title of "Citizen" says: "We care nothing about who is President of the railroad, so that he be a good man." We ask "Uncle Dick" how would you like it, if your friend (?) E. R. Stanly should be called upon to resume the Presidency 'of your little pet thoroughfare ? We would also ask, if you could hope thereafter to be conveyed to and fro between this city and your Kinston home at any hour of the day or night without compensation ? Or perhaps you would prefer your beloved (?) friend C. R. Thomas to take the thing off your hands. We would like much (if we are to have a Radical President,) to see Thomas take your place, though in a political point of view, we have no admiration for him; yet we give him the credit of being the most satisfactory Radical President i that has as yet managed this poverty -stricken concern. We know you like (?) Thomas, for yon spoke of him very affectionately (?) upon a certain occasion when we called upon yon to know whether you really meant what yon said; when you told us that "all the newspapers were nuisances, " you took occasion to remark that yottiiad no refer ence to the Newbebnian, for yoi thought that there were J'some very good triu H' I Please give us your candid opi-r"l? fe or u you cannot spare we i tool "Citizen" to speak for yotLr ; - 2 lis. - ' 'ri r ? : a I'ipua girl wno naa a quarrel mux remarked to a friend that 11 sh srUv squeezing terms with that fraud any more.

' The amendment to the Postoffice Appropria- tion bill, that agricultural mails free, was stricken out. reports pass the The Law of Fatigue. Dr. Haughton, in his "Animal Mechanics,' states the law of fatigue as follows: " When the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant Suppose a man, walking at his ordi nary pace, does not become tired until he J has gone thirty miles. If he walks three times as fast, he will be tired at the end of ten miles, having done one-third of the work in one-ninth of the time ; and so on, the total work done va rying as the square root of the time necessary to produce fatigue, i I j - " Where the rate of work is very rapid, as in a boat race, it is of course impossible to keep it up for any great length of time. The actual amount of work done in such a case ; is thus il lustrated by Dr. Haughton: A good idea may be formed of the rate in which the muscles1 give out work in a boat-race, from comparing this work with the average daily work of a laborer. At many kinds of i labor there are 400 foot-tons Of work accomplished in ten hours. The oars man performs (this is arrived at by calculation) in one minute the 100th part of his day's labor, and if he could continue to work at the same rate he would finish his day's task in one hour and forty minutes, instead of the customary ten I hours. : The work done, therefore, in rowing one knot in the seven minutes, is, while it lasts, performed at a rate equal to six times that of a hard-worked laborer." A Magnetic Cave. A wonderful cave has been discovered near E Pine Grove. California. Three men named Stokes, Jamison and Mason explored it for about a mile and a quarter. They found cham bers beautifully decorated with stalactites and stalagmites, and a stream of water leaping from the roof into an apparently bottomless pit, also a hot spring emitting sulphurous puffs of steam. In another chamber the walls and rocks were ; highly magnetic One of the party who carried a hatchet had it suddenly wrested from him by a magnetic rock near which he passed, and the combined strength of the party was unable to detach it. Another who had on miners' boots, the soles of which were filled with nails, could OI1iy vaik trith difficulty, and happening to step upon a portion of the floor unusually magnetic, found himself suddenly affixed thereto and unable to move, j He was compelled to leave bis boots there.
