The most gratifying item of news we have been able to gather is th "Old Sol" has condescended to smile upon us with most benignant com placency just a little today.

Fole is in receipt daily of a large number of letters making en quiries concerning the act of congress recently passed, refunding the direct tax collected by the government just efterthewar. The Governor desires it to be stated that he is now in cor respondence with the Federal author ities on the subject, and as soon as he can obtain all the necessary informa tion it will be made known to the public. A Tough Story. The weather has been very bad this year wood has been very scarce and high, and some of it not the best in point of quality. But the toughest tale we have heard is told of a citi zen of this city. He and a neighbor each bought a load of ready cut wood which was left out over night, and the most of it stolen. Well, this was bad, but as the wood was sorry little fuss was made about it. What was the surprise, however, when the gens tleinan got up the second morning after the wood was stolen to find it all back again at the wood pile. Whether the conscience of the thief smote him, or he found the wood too mean to burn, our informant is at a loss to state; but he is inclined to the opinion that it was the worthless character of the wood which caused its return. Not so Little. The press of the State are generally much pleased that Raleigh is to be the seat of the Southern Immigration Bureau and the location of the South ern Exposition. We are juBt a little bit out of humor.however, because of the fuci that our' worthy contempor ary tinv Wiison Mirror calls us little. Just hear it: "We congratulate Raleigh and the State upon the fact that the perman ent Southern Exposition is to be lo cated at the little capital city of the State. Raleigh is very fortunate in this as in many other things." We hope our brother will correct this error. He certainly has not paid the capital a visit lately. Why, my friend, we are verging on twenty thousai d people with rapid strides; little, indeed. The Deaf and Dumb. It is not expected that the proposed buildings for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum to be erected in Morganton will be ready before the meeting of the next General Assembly. Indeed, t his is the settled opinion. Such be ing the case, the care of these unfor tunates will be with us for the next two years at least. But, after that will rise a question, not only of im mediate interest to Raleigh, but to a large class in the State as well. It must be conceded that the location of the Institution so far west as Mor ganton, must work to the disadvan tage of many of the eastern counties who have mutes to be cared for. It would seem therefore to be the part of wisdom,no less than of convenience, that.there should be two institutions in the fltate one for the west aud one for the east. If this course was, needed for the insane, the same plea could be successlully made for the Deaf and Dumb. We must think that the next Gen eral Assembly will see the necessity for this course, and adopt it, v Cabbage Plants and Grape Vines for sale. Apply to Geo. Shellem. FebUlm.p. Personal Mention.

He is very ill. Ex Sheriff J. Rowan Rogers is very sick at his residence on Hoylan Avenue. Grocers' Protective Associa tion. The principal retail grocery mer chants of this city met last evening and consummated the organization of a Grocers' Protective Association," by electing officers, adopting by-laws and appointing committees. The object of this association is to more closely unite the retail mer chants of this city; to co-operate for the common benefit of all; to abate trade abuses; to disseminate useful in formation; to expose fraud and &uU terations; to watch and influence leg-, islation towards the better protection of capital; to assist the members in collecting delinquent accounts and to protect them against fraudulent cus tomers. This association has nothing to do with the regulation of prices. Morning papers are requested to copy. Only a Bridle Left. ' Hon. Josiah Turner is in the city and in talking about the street rail way muddle that we are in, said, it reminded him of a "country horse swapper on court week that he would swap first for a large then a small horse, then a poor and again for a lean on", until finally about Thursday he would go home with nothing but a bridle hanging on his arm." That's about the size of it We started with Texas mules, then a Kentucky mule and a NorthCarolina horse. After awhile two horses were put to each car, and then it stopped a good deal of blowing and bragging, and now, where are we? Have we any rights left? Let the city own and operate her own street car lines, that will settle it. The Way Out. If there is to be a new deal about street cars we want to enter our plea for Raleigh to own its own c.ir lines and manage the service for ourselves. Other cities have adopted -this plan and are well pleased with it. If there is any money to be made by the priv ileges of our streets it ought to be made for the city. And in putting down our electric car line plant we could provide for lighting the city and furnishing electric lights and power generally. It seems that we get ourselves tied up every time we bargain with electrical companies and have great trouble in getting what we bargain for or in preventing imposition. Ownership of our car lines and lighting of streets, water works, etc., is the way out of present and future trouble on these subjects. W. H. & R. S. Tucker k Co. Gent's McIntosh Coats. See our gents rubber garments. If you have any idea of buying a rubber coat, be sure to find out what a nice Mcintosh you can get from us; we are offering these now atreduoed prices. We have also the new shapes in ladies gar mentsthose with a cloth surface are probably the most popular. W. H. & R. 8. Tucker & Co. Disconsolate. Au old colored man from near Hoi ly Springs drii;id into the office of the RegNtrr of D;eds this morning and s ik: "Here, bo'8, here is some licenses that I got from you about three weks ago. My gal run off with another feller, and I aint got no use for 'em. Phase, boss, gim'uie my money buck." The poor old fellow broke down aud shed a few tears about the size of a quart treasure. Between his sobs he said: ' She was the bebt gal in that section, and now gone off w'.th another feller arid I can't git my money back." The old man left without the money, still sheddiug some of the aforesaid tears. Having secured the agercv for the celebrated Thomasville Rockers and Chairs, we will now offer them to the public at prices never before sold at. All are finished in natural wood hickory, oak, ash, &c. Rockers for gentlemen, rockers for ladies and chairs for everybody at prices that will astonish the natives at W. S. Uz- zle's, 12 East Hargett street. An exchange says: "If North Car olina is to make a creditable appear ance at the World's Fair, every de partment of industry should be rep resented. The minerals of her moun tains, the product of her looms, the productions of her forests, and what ever else contributes to the wealth of the State." The above calls to mind a conversation which was overheard between two members of the General Assembly who had left their seats and were conversing together in the lobby of the Senate while the appropriation for the exhibit at Chicago was being discussed. One said to the other, "That is a heap of money to be throw ing avay on State pride. I can't vote for it, for there is nothing in it but State pride." How mistaken he was; there is just one of the best pay ing investments in it that North Car olina has ever made, Immigration, and to attract money was the origin of it, and has stimulated and fostered all sorts of fairs, exhibitions and ex ! positions in all countries at all times down to the present; and whenever this ceases to be the ultimate object, they will cease to be n ade. The $25, 000 judiciously spent in Chicago will bring to North Carolina as many mil lion dollars in men and money in as many years. Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

They are marvels of beauty and render perfect satisfaction in every instance. Norms' Dry Goods Store. UA bank failure was averted in Buenoes Ayres a few days, ago by an original plan. A run was started on the principal bank of the city, which would have speedily closed it up, but the government declared a holiday for two days, thus suspending busi ness and giving the bank time to ar range matters. She Preferred to Die. PiTTSBURO.March 12. When Jacob Schneider, a young jeweler of Alle gheny, called at the house cf George Lang to claim Mr. Lang's twenty year old daughter Tillie as his bride he found that she was dead. She had taken a dose of Rough on Rats last night, apparently preferring death to marraiage. It is not quite clear what causes led to the suicide, as the young woman) had for some time been in poor health, and yesterday had a quarrel with her lover. Two months ago she was to have been married, but the ceremony was postponed and was to have been per formed to-day. All arrangements had been completed and the guests bidden. About 11 o'clock last night Miss Lang came down stairs from her room and handed her father an empty box marked "Poison,"telling him she had taken all it contained. He tossed the box into the fire thinking she was joking. The young woman coolly returned to her room where she was found dead this morning. Phonography.
