It would be a very unwise thing for
the legislature to refuse to establish
aa Immigration Department for
north Carolina. It would in all
probability force the ' location of
the Inter States Bureau out of
the State, for it is said that the
Southern Inter States I immigration
people will uot locate their head quar
ters in a State that has not fu immi
gration department. This will also
carry with it the Great Southern Ex
position. North Carolina can't af
ford that.
Sweet Peggie Gordon.
The above exclamation was made
bv a young and beautiful lady this
inorniug of ter reading in the Chroni
cle about the woman who Went to
Swindell's yesterday who came on
one of Swindell's free passes, walked
and swam all the creeks, and on leav
ing gave the 'Bouncer" three long
and lingering kisses. Said she,I would
not do all that to ge. Swindell's pants
or his free passes, not even to get one
of those 60 cents white shirts; then to
think of kissing the "Bouncer." Well
for a pair of pants at 75 cents, and a
white shirt 60 cents, and a pair of
drawers 25 cents, and an undershirt
43 cents, and box at 8 cents, I would
jaot have kissed him. Suppose he had
stepped on her? By the by, Ella have
you seen those lovely spring carpets
at Swindell's? Oh, they are lovely.
(Gravely) Elly where do you think
Swindell gets his goods to sell so
much cheaper than the others. I
don't know, replied the other one; I
have grave apprehensions as to where
Swindell gets; his goods. ' Just then
the ladies' carriage came.

A Pleasant Entertainment.
We had the pleasure of attending
last night, the exhibition given at the
chapel of the Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb and the Blind for the pur
pose of allowing the members of the
General Assembly and the citizens
generally an opportunity to witness
the proficiency of the pupils. It is
but just to say that no more interest
ing occasion of the kind has ever
taken place in this city. The chapel
was crowded to its utmost capacity
with a highly intelligent audience,
ail of whom were intensely delighted
with the programme.
We regret very much that our con
tracted space does not allow us to en
ter into an extended notice of all the
p irticipants, as, where each and every
one did their part so well it would
seem unjust to allude to' any particu
lar part. The calisthenic exercises,
the remarks of welcome (which al
most brought tears from many) the
courting scene between two young
mutes, the doll drill, and the singing
generally elicited the greatest praise
and brought forth much applause.
One portion of the programme we
cannot omit,as it was a feature which
caused the wonder of all who wit
nessed it. This was the remarkable
memory of a young male mute, which
showed to what extent the mental
powers of this unfortunate class can
be cultivated. Any person in the
audience was requested to name a
county in North Carolina, the name
of which was communicated to the
young man. Without a mo
ment's hesitation, he turned to the
black board and wrote he names in
full of the members of the Legisla
ture from the county called out. He
did this with the most perfect ac
curacy. This shows wonderful pow
ersof memory, and is a task that
would puzzle the intellects of some of
our best scholars.
We cannot close this article with
out paying at least a feeble tribute
to the principal of the Institution,Mr
W. J. Young and the able corps of
teachers. They are indeed engaged
in a noble cause, and well and most
faithfully do they perform their work
for the amelioration of that class of
our fellow creatures whom "John
Randolph ot Roanoke," declared to
be
the most unfortunate or the
Step sons of- Nature." The Institu
tion is a credit to our beloved old
State, and we trust it will receive all
the aid and encouragement it so rich
ly deserves at the hands of the peo
ples' representatives. ' '

AN ADDITION
LilCE CURTAINS
We have added to our special sale of
Uheneille (Jnrtams, Chairs, and
Tables,a line of Lace Curtains.
This is also a line that we
wish closed out before
the new 6tock
arrives.
The success of our special sale of Cur
tains and Furniture during the
past week, was even greater than
we expected, and the lot being
now replenished with better val
ues in LACE CURTAINS makes
this sale doubly interesting.
These ....
Curtains have
been taken from the
regular department, 2nd
floor and are displayed near
Fayetteville street entrance.and
the prices all marked in plain figures.
To secure the best values from this
sale. purchases should be made at once
as the space these goods now occupy
belongs to another department, from
which new Spring stock will soon be
shown.
