MEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
What Our Reporters See and
Hear Worth GiTlng to Our
Headers News in Brief.
Yesterday was a bad day for the
race. What race? The colored race.
A Raleigh picnic party enjoyed
Easter at Auburn.
A few of Raleigh's young people
enjoyed a basket picnic at Maj
Tucker's-pond yesterday.
See advertisement of toperatives
wanted in the Pittsboro, knitting
wills.
Tup progressive Endowment Guild
have opened an office over the North
State Music Store.
It is said that the picnic given by
Miss Octavia Winder at Millbrook
yesterday was a very enjoyable af
fair.
' It seems that the colored popula
tion tried to put an end to their race
yesterday. Strange there was no
razors in the air.
Rev. Dr. T. H. Pritchard, of Wil
mington, will deliver .an address to
night before the graduating class of
Leonard Medical College.
Don't forget the ;01d Folks Concert
tonight at Metropolitan Hall, by the
Kings' Daughters', Seats on sale at
MacRae'a.
Every one that we have heard from
seems to have spent a pleasant Easter,
eict pt the young ladies that fell from
the log in t he crt-ek.
Attention is called to the advertise
meut of Messrs. Jones & Powell who
have In stock a large supply of lime
and cement. All in want should give
them a call.
When finished the new round honse
of 1 he Raleigh and Gaston Railroad
Company, in this city, will be the
finest in the South, it is a pplendid
system, with splendid men to run it
Just as we expected. The road
hands turned up theloose red mud on
Hillsboro road yesterday and left it
unpacked or rolled. The consequence
is ttte road is worse today than be
fore. It was reported on the streets yes
terday that Mr. S. C. Pool's little boy
had sustained serious injury from
falling from his bicycle.On investiga
tion it was found that the only damage
done was the breaking of the bicycle
and tearing of his pants,
If the theory holds good that the
same quantity of rain fallsjevery year,
we may expect a long dry spell the
coming summer. However, the gen
eral impression is that a dry June
bribgs good crops. We must not
complain too soon. '
Raleigh, city and Wake County Di
rectory and Gazetteer is now in pro
cess of compilation by Levi Branson,
who designs to make it the most thor
ough and exhaustive book of the
kind ever published in this State. It
will be a large book and will show up
the wonderful progress of the city
and county.
Burglars broke into the Buford
House in Charlotte night before last,
and robbed a Pittsburg jewelry drum
mer of $275 in cash, besides watch,
chain and clothing. His sample cases
with $30,000 worth of jewelry were
not disturbed.
Chicken thieves are plying their
business quite actively on the 'su
burbs. A few nights since a gentle
man living in the vicinity of the Agri
cultural and Mechanical College had
his roost robbed of four hens of the
finest breed. The tracks were seen
and certain ear marks of the thief dis
covered. We hear that the citizens of
that locality are preparing a surprise
for some ol these marauders in the
way of steel traps &c, which may
break up the gang at a time when
they least expect it.
W a are sorrv to state that Miss
Annie Stronach, the devoted daugh
ter of Mrs. Geo. Stronach is quite 111.
A srav party of Vx. uujr people from
this city went down to Wilder mills
yesterday to spend Easter. They
spent a pleasant day dancing, boat
ridinz and flshincr. On account of the
accident o a the N. C, road they did i
not arrive in the city uatil 1:30 this
morning.
The grippe Is raging with especial
violence in fie York, Chicago and
Pittsburg and Baltimore is getting
its share. In the ineantine the wise
man lives abstemiously, keeps his
feet warm and avoids the night air.

A couple of white men were before

Accidents Yesterday.
A crowd of colored boys were in a
wagon beyond the Insane Asylum.
One of the boys in taking the cap
from the gun caused it to explode,
killing a boy by the name of Tom
Jones, 18 years of age. There was no
inquest as it was purely an accident.
Another party of colored people
with guns, on the Rhamkatte road,
near the city, were riding along hap
py as larks in a two horse wagon,
when all of a sudden a gun held in
the lap of one of the party exploded
killing a man sitting in front of him.
No names.

Impatient.
There seems to be some degree of
impatience on the part of those en
titled to receive reimbursement un
der the direct land tax law, at the
delay. This is somewhat unreason
able in view of the circumstances.
Gov. Fowle has been as prompt as
possible, and has done all in his pow
er to facilitate the matter. It is true
that the General Assembly has pass
ed a law by which the money should
be returned to the Governor for the
benefit of those entitled to receive it,
but there is nevertheless a great deal
to do in the way of details. It ap
pears that the authorities in Wash
ington are somewhat puzzled to map
out the proper plan, or the one that
will work to the best advantage.
There is necessarily much work to do
in order to find out precisely the per
sons who are entitled to the benefits
of the act. There are thousands of
names to be copied off from the stubs
of receipts given. It has been sug
gested that a good plan would be for
the Governor to appoint certain
agents to copy these stubs. This
will, of course, involve a little trouble
and some expense, but then the act
of assembly provides for this. We do
not hnow what steps the Governor
may deem best, but we do know that
he will take the earliest opportunity
to give the beneficiaries of the law
the full benefit of its provisions.
A Father's Kiss.
A father was seeing his son off on
the cars for some.distant point There
was a moment of quiet conversation
between the two, perMaps a few words
of such advice as a father should give
a son, and then the train came thun,
dering into the station.
As the latter, a tall fellow, well
along in his 'teens," stepped on the
platform, he extended his hand and
his lips to his father. There was a
gentle kiss of farewell, aud the two
separated. There was no gush, no
nonsense, no affectation; just the ex
pression of fatherly tenderness that
had followed that son tlnce he lay In
the cradle.
Is there uuy danger of that boy
straying from the path affectionately
pointed out by his father T
Or is there any danger of that fa
ther ever having to excise that son
because he is "sowing wild oats ?" We
think not. The gentle power of a
mother's kiss has been sung by poets,
but is there not also a wealth of ten
derness and a lasting memory for
good in the kiss of a father ? ITartv
f ;rd Post.
History Repeated.
In olden times the great STebuchad
nezzir, royal founder of the seventh
wonder of the world and kiog of the
Bnbylouio Chaldean Empire for un
due pride of power, was driven to
grass, that he might learn the source
of power. Now the noble Victoria.
Queen of Grjat Britain and Empress
of the Indies, of her own royal voli
tion, has gone to Grasse that she
may learn the wise use of power.

Four Good Things.
Dr. King's Royal Germetuer differs from
ordinary medicines in four very important
inings:
1. It does not taste like medicine. It is
makes a most refreshing drink. Persons who
object to all other medicines take this with
real pleasure, because it is good.
2. It never nauseates. The most delicate
stomach finds in this a perfect remedy with
out a single objection.
3. It never swaps off one disease for
another. It does not set up one form of dis
ease in order to relieve another, as is the case
witn so many aeaaiy arags.
4. It does not patch simply. It cures.
It reaches, as nothing else does, to the hid
den sources of disease in the blood, and re
moves the cause. It does this with an ease
and power that have never been equaled.
Nature, in her secret laboratories, has
never produced a finer chemical compound,
nor imparted to one such matchless gifts of
healing. It is absolutely without a rival or a
peer in its superb mastery of disease. It is
truly, as Henry W. Grady said of it, "the
ultima thule of medicines."
