RALEIGH, APRIL 23, 1830.
Early Closing'.
Correspondence Evkkixg Visitor.
Something has bten said at various
times in the city papers about early
closing, but nothing definite has been
done yet. It is a matter of regret
that there should be so little public
spirited generosity among our busi
ness men as to produce such persist
ent silence on this important subject.
It is the narrow minded selfishness of
a few men that blocks the way of
this much needed reform in the busi
ness habits of Raleigh; and those
mercantile establishments with broad
er views and more generous impulses
should rise above this spirit and take
the initiative along this line.
There is really no necessity for the
stores of the city to be kept open be
yond, say six or seven o'clock in the
evening except possibly Saturday
evenings. Justice to the clerks and
bookkeepers require that this early
closing be adopted. But says one, I
have no clerk, or bookkeeper, and
therefore have nothing to do with
this question, but my friend you
have; for you know, if you keep open,
your neighbor who has two clerks
will be afraid that you may sell a
spool of cotton that he might nave
sold and make a half a cent on it;
and therefore he will not close. Thus
many scores of clerks and employees
are kept confined the year round
v with no time for self improvement
and recreation, but driven on in the
dull round of a monotonous sort of
tread mill existences, with nothing
to inspire nobl r ambitions and
higher aims.
The clerks and employees have as
much right to consideration in the
business arrangements of a commu
nity as any other like member in that
community. A great deal can be
said about the selfishness, or wart of
consideration on the part of the cus
tomers in doing their shopping at
such hours as to furnish the merch
ants an excuse to keep open late.
If all the people would determine not
to buy after 6 pm, all the stores
would be closed and Raleigh would
enjoy much more of the social. Mr
Editor agitate. 1 want to eay more
but your space forbids. W.
The American Bird.
On Saturday a bald eagle attacked
a dog on the farm on which Mr Wal
lace Fields lives, near Derwood, Md,
and took from it a piece of fresh beef.
' Mr Fields' attention was called to his
dog, which was about one hundred
yards from the dwelling, by its pite
ous howlings, and advanced in that
direction. Running toward the house
was the dog with the piece of beef in
his mouth and the eagle apparently
riding o.thdog's back and billing
ihis head, until the blood was profuse
li' yftfo$inj?'
The dog dropped the meat and the
eagle seized it, skimming the earth
in Itf flight. The rog turned on the
. eagle again with another dog that
had!ome to his assistance, and re-
.iit'-i ii mi i j
ed the dogs the second time, and se
cored the meat, taking flight alight
ing in a large tree on the premises.
Mr Fields had loaned his gun out,
. and, before his return irom e neign-
bor's with a gm to shoot the eagle,
it bad taken its fltaal departure and
' has not been seen since.

"I LL STICK TO DAD."
A Professor's Wife Tires of LIm
and Returns to her Fath
er's Home.
Rimdo, Ark, April 20. Professor
Rector has lost his bride. He was
recently married to the daughter of
Ben Ward, a prominent citizen, after
a very short acquaintance, and they
started on a brief tour. At Hope,
forty miles away, the professor
thought of some neglected business
at Texarkana, and, leaving his wife
at Hope, went to transact it. There
he got drunk aud spent his last cent.
The girl returned home. When the
professor got sober enough he wrote
a note to his spouse as follows: 1
"My Dearest, Darling Duckie:
Please, where are my clothes?"1
The answer came back:
"Your clothes are where you left
thein, and I am wherd you found me.
You may succeed in recovering your
duds, but you can't get me any more.
I intend o stick to dad."
Puzzled Cigarette Dealers.
Hereafter sellers of cigarettes in
Maryland must pay an extra license
of $50 yearly and make oath that the
cigarettes which they sell contain no
'injurious drugs." Their situation
is not a pleasant one, for it is impos
sible for them to know what a cigar
ette contains, and the phrase "inju
rious drugs" is capable of very varied
interpretation. For that matter to
bacco is classed by many as an "in'
jurious drug," and there is ample ex
pert evidence to sustain their posi
tion. But this is a minor point.

The Firemen's Tournament.
Charlotte Chronicle.
J N McCausland, the secretary of
the firemen's committee for the 20th
of May Celebration, is moving ahead
with the work entrusted to him. Al
ready two companies, besides the
Pioneer, of this city, the Capital Hose
Company, of Raleigh, and the Acme
Steam Fire Company of Monroe,
have entered for the contests m the
Firemen's Tournament. A number
of companies besides these are corres
ponding with Mr McCausland, and a
large number of companies will soon
be entered for the contest. In the
meantime any companies who have
not yet written to Mr McCausland
and intend coming to Charlotte's
great celebration, should write to
him immediately.
A postal card was recently deliver
ed in England fifteen years after it
had been posted, having been found
at the bottom of a letter box, where
it had doubtless lain unnoticed ever
since it was first dropped.
