"V-". - t XLVT EE2XE AS A 8HIPFII0 : POINT. -' i 3J' There is a belt of cotton lands r.long the A. & N. O. BaOroad, the aloDg the Neuse, Trent', and : Con tentnea rivers that prodnces at least two-fifths of the cotton erop of Xorth Carolina. This cotton should and would ..be marketed - here if New Berne was "what she onght,and . can be made to be, good export shipping point. y;;-.r. ; . We propose to show in this article that New Berne, can be made a port of entry for foreign vessels of heavy . ton age, and also to show the ad vantages that would accrue to the whnla RnrrniTTwlin ir nurntn if unph a cherished 9bectrahoaId ever be come an accomplished fact. To the question then as to how this im portant work for New Berne, can be accomplished, we answer bv onen- eutUnz a new canal throueh Adam's . crcti wujcu wiu onug us wieuld forty miles of Beaufort bar. We - have, .been assared by men who anil - A .AmIw nttninful .throngh either one ot the routes - mentioned, if we can only induce the National Government to take bold of the matter and furnish the tnoaey. ; True ' it would take a con eiderable amount of money, but it wnnlif Imi Mmmroiintv small fnr a rovernmeat with aa overflowing treasury, nea we come to look at '.the ad vantages it would give to a 'large section ef STqrta Carolina. Eesides it would be ef aational as vail as local importance. No better w .? Vresn waxer navu -Brauon can oe 'found oo the coast than Trent river "but at present the gun-boats, if the government has any, could not get here.. To accomplish this work it 'will only be necessary to eat about ithree miles of can aT and dredge the Cwo ereeks which it would caonecjL, It would then, be necessary to dredge some points on Nense river and the work is done. Some one may ask, why spend all this money to obtain an outlet for New Berne when we Lave a railroad running right down to the sea, and right to the point where the outlet for New Berne would lead. We answer, in order to build op a shipping point there must be capital and men; for twenty-five years Morehead City has had the railroad and her sand banks have appealed to capitalist to come here and avail yourselves of the natural advantages we possess, but they 'meth not;" they do not like to build on the sand. The idea of makine that a shinDine point of any consequence for the present seems utterly hopeless. On the other hand New Berne has the cap ital, she has the wharves, the city is already here and she has a good' back country to sustain her. The receipts of cotton here this year will foot up at least 50,000 bales, but it is all shipped coastwise, and this accounts for the fact that not half the cotton received here changes hands but sinmlv eoes throueh. If shipments could be made direct to Liverpool, cotton would sell for as much here as at Norfolk or Wil mington. If this work should be done it would pat twenty-flve dol lars in every farmer's pocket who sells, ten baler, of cotton in this market. The cotton marketed at I . . 1 . T T. :V wouia seen an ouuet un wiuui, bringing them nearer their shipping point, would enable them to pay better prices, and thus benefit the entire country tributary to those points. . This would necessitate the erection , oi a cotton compress, foreign vessels would be continually at our docks, and New Berne would at last begin her second growth B&1DIACGH AGAIN BARBED OUT, The House of Commons, by a majority of three, refused a second reading Of Mr. Gladstone's Aflirma tion bill, on the 3d inst., which action still bars Mr. Bradlangh from taking his seat, notwithstanding he has asked to be permitted to take the bath: The trouble seems to be that' Mr. Bradlangh having pub licly denied the sanctity of the oath, was refused his seat, though willing to go through with the form. The New York Sun - thinks ' there are many .other; members ' that have been seated who have no more re gard for the sanctity ofthe oath than Mr. Bradlangh, but were fortunate enough to keep : their opinions to themselves. That paper gives the following views on the case:' : '- It is settled, then, that the i louse of Commons is willing to place itself on record as the most bigoted as sembly that exists in any part of the civilized world. Not ". only . in the United States should we treat with derision even if such an act of folly were not forbidden . by the constitution any attempt to de prive a citizen of political privileges on the score of his opinions teach ing the origin and government- of the universe, bat the. same thing may be ; said of every European country which enjoys even the semblance - of free . institutions Either in the French' Chamber- of Deputies, nor in the German Beich stag. nor in the Prussian " Landtag, nor in tnff Italian .Legislature, ,nor in the Austrain Beichsrath, nor in the Hungarian Diet are the forcas of intolerance strong enough' or beld enough to prevent avowed agnostics from discharging the lawmaking functions with - which electors : have " seen- fit to invest them. J Even in a land which 'Eng lishmen' took upon as so benighted and backward as Spain. the Prime Minister, sagas ta, is - ashamed . to make admittance, to- the '. Cortes depend on the profession of particu lar religious opinions, and has prom ised to effect the substitution; of some form of - affirmation" for the usual oath in certain cases.v ' Not only is the rejection of the Afljrmation bill a. triumph or fana ticism, bat the refusal to permit Jlr. Bradlangh to take the oath was an infringement ofthe rights of the borough of Northampton whose coastitaaonlaity u extremely ques tionable. What right bad the House to go behind the formal offer of a member elect to conform with itsruleet "Where does it get the authority to . investigate a man's previous professions and present motives, and to decide arbitrarily that an act ostensibly correct is in reality an evasion of the law? It is true that subsequently to his first election Mr, Bradlangh published a statement that he sjjopld insist up on maJEing a&irniatfon. pa the ground that the prescribed oath would not be binding on his consci ence .But if the Honse can take cog nizance ofsuch declarations made after the election of a member, why may it not also notice equiva lent assertions or admissions made before an election is heldf And if all printed avowals of atheism should be held to disqualify for Parliament, why should those who make no secret of their agnostic opinions in conversation escape a similar penalty? It is notorious that a considerable number of the memoers woo yoien on tnia very motion to exclude Mr, Bradlangh reject the Christian conception of God and the dogma of immortality and we might name several whose atheistical views have been dis tinctly divulged in their published writings. Bat they took the oath promptly and quietly, regarding it as a mere tormaiity; wbereas Mr. Bradlangh had the candor to ac knowledge ha they, for the mo ment at least, conceaed, The on ly difference between him and bjs fellow atheists is that they adad hypocrisy, or, as they would call it, a judicious reticence, to their ob noxious ideas upon religion sub? jects. But Mr. Bratllangb, it seems, is the only man in the United King dom who cannot be allowed to be a hypocrite. He must not even be suspected of hypocrisy for although nearly three years have elapsed since he impressed agnostic opin ionsnd although for aught that the House knows about thp matter be may have abjured them long he has been thrice refused his seat, and meanwhile the borough of Northampton has been deprived of a seat to Yhjch it is constitutionally entitled. That the offer to take the oath will ultimately be beld a legal compliance with the rules of Parlia ment cannot be doubtful to those who remember what came of the analogous attempt to partially and temporarily disfranchise the bor ough of Westminister for its per sistence in returning Wilkes. There was but one way of avoiding toe virtual admission that the oath is meaningless in the month of many members, and that was to allow affirmation to be substituted. Mr. Gladstone at last safl,this, but the reactionists and bigots would not see it, hence the quandary into which the House of Commons has been plunged. A LAME LAW. In our notice of Sheriff Hahn's selling land for taxes on Monday we were in error. He was not sell ing for taxes, but selling land that had been bid in for the county. See. 36 of the Machinery act of 1S81 provides that the Sheriff shall, in certain cases, when land is bid in for the county, execute a deed to the county, be recorded, and the property pass to the control of the county commissioners. Sec. 37 pro vides for the redemption of said property. Sec. 39 says: Bnt ahonld the said delinquent fail to redeem the aaid land within twelve month from the day of aale thereof, then the eatd board of oommia&tonera shall order the said sheriff , after notice given as prescribed in sub section three of section thirtr-xonr. to sell the said land to the highest bidder for cash and to pay the proceeds of sale, less five per centum tor us commissions, to tne county Treasurer, the one-half of the net proceeds thereof to the common school fund and the other half to the county fund. It was under this clause of the act that the Sheriff was selling on Monday, and, judging from the prices that several tracts were knocked down at, we think there is a lameness in the law that should be remedied. Under this act a man might refuse to pay his taxes; let the Sheriff sell and bid in for the county; the county sells, and the original owner can appear at the sale and buy, in many cases, for about one-tenth of the amount of taxes ha owed on it. If the land will not bring enough to pay the taxes, why not let the county keep it until it does become saleable? We have another fault to find of this sale which may appear selfish but there is nevertheless good rea son for it. Sufficient public notice had not been given of the tale. The Sheriff may have complied with the law in sticking a bundle of paper at the court house door and at two or three cross roads in the county, bnt where thousands of acres of land belonging to the county are to be sold to the highest bidder ought not the county commissioners use all means within their power to give it all - the publicity possible? We are led to make these suggestions, because we have heard several re mark since the sale that had they known it was a sale of lands be longing to the county they would have attended. Now there is hard ly a reading man in . the "city of New Berne who does not read eith er tne Aut IS tell or Jotjbnal or both, and there are bat few in Craven county who do not read the Weekly Journal. If these lands had been properly advertised in these papers the sales would doubt less have amounted to doable or thrible what they did. STATE NEWS (x leased from ear Exehang-es. Greensboro Patriot: Some gentle men went out to North Buffalo yester day to fish for carp. They seined the creek from Albright's to Farrars pond and caught about half a peck of good sized perch carfisb and pike, besides about 1,000 little fishes, which they a: firsttlMippoeed were carp but which proved on close examination to be small shad or roaches. From the discoveries made by them they are of the opinion that the carp recently put in FarrarB' pond will turn out to oe snaa-roacnes. Wilson Advance: We were shown Wednesday by Mr. C. F.

STICK TO YOUR TRADE. A Little Advice to those who are con- linaally Changing their minds. "Stick to your trade," says an exchange, "nine tenths of all the failures ot the last year have come to men who were dabbling in out side affairs." There could not be more truth crowded into a few lines than is contained in the above. As a general thing when yon hear of the failure of a man in busi ness you can set it down that he has been dabbling in something he knew nothing about, and has sunk the money needed in his legitimate business. The merchant, even in a country village, who attends strictly to business, may in time lay by a snug little sum, but as soon as he commences to speculate in land, or even trade horses, he is liable at any time to hear something drop on account of taking the nioney needed in his business for specula tive purposes. The fanner who works hard all summer, sows and reaps a good harvest, and puts the proceeds of the sale of his wheat in to his pants pocket and goes to speculating in pork, may eventually find a mortgage plastered down ov er bis property that it will take years of frugal industry to remove. Yon hear of the failure of a mer chant engaged in trade and in nine cases out ol ten you can trace the course the fact that he had a few thousand dollars invested in wheat when the price tumbled and the bottom fell out of his scheme for making o little money by out side speculation. A merchant may be all right, and level-headed in his trade, he can weigh out codfish and sugar, or drive a sharp bargain in buying a load of green hides or a ton of butter, bnt when he has a few thousand dollars invested in wheat, or pork, or lumber, and the price takes a drop, he loses his head and is laid out coulder than a mack eral. The papers in the northwestern part of the State recently related the circumstances of how a minister came to grief through speculation. He was a real nice man, and a min ister, stood high in the estimation of his friends, but when he got the the idea that his salary was too small, and that he wonld invest portion of it in a little outside spe culation, and thus make a few thousands for rainy day, there nev er was a minister more sadly leu Lack of business tact, and know! edge in the ways of the world of traffic led him to make wild specu lative deals, and soon the reaction set in. He could preach eloquently and hardly a Sunday passed but what he garnered into the fold fresh lot of souls; but when it came to garnering unto his pocket, even a little margin on a pork deal, he missed his calculation, and lost all he had, and considerable more than he ought to, as shown by the bills which came in from around town which he had neglected while inves ting his loose change in speculative schemes. "Every man to his trade," is a saving as true as it is ancient. mere are instances, ot course where men have left their groce: in the furrow and took up specula tiou, and struck it rich, or where ministers have beat their hymn books into railroad stocks, and made a fortune at one strike, but these instances are scarce very scarce. The cashier of a bank, or treasurer of a State who lays awake niebts fixing up schemes for mak ing a million, dealing in ''futures," or holding a hundred thousand dol lars' worth of butter and eggs, for a rise, are forever coming to grief, while the men in similar positions, who salt fifty cents on every dollar of their salary in an old stocking, and don't try to beat the "faro' banks, or own the fastest horses on tne earth, get to tne front and be come solid men. There are enough men to do all the speculating there is any necessity for doing; men who nave become -hardened in tho busi ness, ana who lose or make tnons ands wtbout a blush or twitch ofthe muscles. These men don't, as a general thing, lose their beads, and make bad breaks. They are accustomed to the business: and the rest of mankind should be content to let them buy all the stocks and bonds, ana wheat ana pork, and make or lose just as it happens, they enjoy excitement that would turn some men's hair gray in forty-eight hours and thp bnsjuess and professional men should be content to let them enjoy it. There are thousands of men bucking against fate, trying to make a fortune by speculation, who if they had ten millions of dol lars worth ol tne best stocks or bonds in the world, would, in the shortest possible time if they per sisted in speculating, be laid out, financially, so flat that they would be obliged to work a lunch route. Planetary Legends. Given once the idea of the gun and moon as a married couple, to what ittiuiis and situation does not such an idea lend itseifi First of all would come naturally the old Prussian belief that the stars were their offspring, and next to that the legeud that the moon proved faithless to his wife aud eloped, with the betrothed of the morning star, to the god of thunder, to pun ish him, cut him into with a sharp knife, a may still be seen in the moons shape at a certain times. In Bavaria a similar t'aii appears in a uiore elaborate form. A girl whoj spun in the moonlight, having been drawn up by the rooou, was the source of a good deal of jealousy to the sun as soon as she became aware of the moons faithfulessness to her self. She, therefore, spying the girl's lover asleep in a wood; and in order to be even with the moon, took him up for herself. The girl and her lover then perceived them selves thus remote from one another were naturally anxious to meat again; and great grief it was to the moon when he found h"aifJu spinning girl no longer cared for IftwV still thought of be' original lofeiV tHrs he sheda iii consequence are akat vye call the shooting star, Realv in Love. Some .years ago a rich man's sou in New York fell in love with the chambermaid, but, unlike many ( rlcf men's sons under similar cir tunist4MCij. I anted to marry her. Ilia family thought thi as ffoiug lifth? too far: so he coinorofhised the uutU'fby agreeing to go a ood lor two or three years. Having a Having fortune of his own he placed the girl in one of the best schools, and she, being ambitious and devoted, im proved her opportunities so well that on his return, finding her more attractive than ever, he married her aud she is now a noble, refined charming woman. USEFUL HINTS. Horse-radish, chewed, is good for hoarseness and affection ot the chest. Linseed oil and charcoal oil is an excellent remedy for a scald or burn. To relieve toothache apply to the troublesome tooth a tiny piece of cotton saturated with ammo niac. To make the teeth white. A mixture of honey with the purest charcoal will prove an admirable cleanser. A tea made of chestnut leaves, and drank in the place of water, will cure the most obstinate case of dropsy in a few days. A bit of cotton batting sprinkled with black pepper and wet with sweet oil and inserted in the ear will immediately cure earache. A teaspoouiul of the white of an egg, well beaten and mixed with lemon juice and sugar, taken oc casionally, will relieve hoarseness. Hoarseness and tickling in .the throat are best relieved by the gargle of the white of an egg beaten to a froth in half a glass of warmed, sweetened water. A tea made of ripe whortleber ries, and drank in the place of water is a sure and speedy cure for a scrof ulous difficulty, however bad. Med ical Home. Cure for catarrh. Burn a piece of alum on the stove until it be comes a white powder, and use it as snuff,-and it will cure catarrh and is a good remedy for cold in the head. When one has a bad cold and the nose is closed up so that he can not breathe through it, relief may be found instantly by putting a little champhor and water in the center ofthe hand and snuffing it np the nose. It is a great relief. Cure for the tetter. Procure some strawberry leaves, and lay the out side or woolly side of the leaf on the parts effected. They must be laid on verry thick, and be changed occasionlly. They will draw out inflamation, and cure the disease. There is nothing better for a cut than powdered rosin. Get a few cents worth, pound it until it is quite fine, put it in a cast-off spice box, with perforated top, then you can easily sift it on the cut. Put a soft cloth around the injured member, and wet it with water once in awhile; it will prevent inflammat ion or soreness. A cure for corns.-Take one-fourth of a cap of strong vinegar; crumble in some bread. Let it stand half an hour, or until it softens into a good poltice. Then applv, on retir ing at night. In the morning the sorenes will be gone, and the corn can oe picked out. it the corn is very obstinate one it may require two or more applications to effect a cuie. Sunburns. The best plan for re moving the'effects. of sunburns is to wash the face at night with either sour milk or buttermilk, and in the morning with weak bran tea and a little eau-de-cologne. This will soft en skiu and remove the redness, aud will, also, make it less liable to burn again with exposure to the sun. Bathing the face several times in tho day with elderflower water, and a few drops of eau-de-cologne is, also, very efficacious. Composting Manure. One of the import int questions which every farmer has to decide is the best method of composting manure, t armers do not agree on this subject; while some hold that It is best to apply manure iu its green state and compost it with soil others believe it best to compost it the yard by mixing with it unequal quantity of muck or loam. Advo cates of the last method claim that the manure is thus decomposed and brought into plant food that is im mediately available. The advocates of composting directly with the soil claim that it saves a large amount of labor of hauling in material to compost with, the pitching of it all over,and the cartingout and spread ing twice the quantity; and they also claim that during the process of decomposition in a com post heap, under ordidaryX condi tions, a iortion of the fertilizing elements is lost; while if applied directly to the soil, the process of decomposition improves the condi tion of the soil and prepares its plant growth much better than if applied after decomposition has taken place, While it is probably best for most crops to apply the manure in the green state there are some crops that need forcing with manure al ready well decomposed, For ex ample, strawberries that have been set one year sometimes require a fertilizer that will act at once. Grass land, if manured between the first and second crop, should have well decomposed manure. The farmer, in composting his manure, should never forget that all of the muck, loam or sand which he mixed with his manure above that jybich is necessary to absorb the liquids ami gashes is a waste ol labor, and only makes his manure heap a deception which his crops will surely find out. While it is important that every farmer should always have at hand sufficient ab sorbents to prevent the loss of the liquids, but few farmers work to the best advantage when they haul intp the barn yard as many loads ol muejk, Joam or sand as they have of manure. The larrre additional cost of removing twice or three times such large quantities ot ma terials but little better, if as good, as the soil upon which it is spread, never comes back iu the iucrease of crops. Ploughman. How They Dante in Italy. In Italy, when- the country men and women dunce together, the first thing they do is to to.ss oil' their shoes, if they wear any.

WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, May i. "The most interesting' event to take place in- Washington this month is the grand reunion of' the Army of the Potomac, to be held on I6th. and 17th. Active prepara tions are under way and arrange- mtnts are being made to have every detail of the affair complete and brilliant. Efficient committees have been appointed to meet every emergency, and from the extensive advertisement of redeced hotel accommodations and railway fares for the occasion; a great crowd of visitors is expected, and a good time. Some conspicuous names ou the committee of reception are Gen. Sherman, Hon. W. E. Chandler, W. W. Corcoran, Gen. Hazen, Hon. J. G. Blaine, and Col. Bob. Ingersoll. This will be the first reunion held in the Capital City, where the veterans disbanded eigh teen years ago. Many of them have not visited Washington since, and they will find it has grown marvel ously in beauty and size. The trans formation wrought by improve ments of every kind will render the city uurecongnizable except by such land-marks as the Capitol and other public buildings, and even these have undergone many changes. They will see it, too, under the most advantageous circumstances. Clad now in ics spring garb of fresh green and bright flowers, it is perfectly beautilul. It is what no other city can aspire to be it is Washington. The old soldiers will make excur sions to Mount Vernon, and some of the battle-fields near the city. They Will parade, orate, poetize, banquet, and together fight their battles o'er again, and thrice slay the slain. The President has ac cepted an invitation to take part in the reunion. A very large praty of tourists, accompanied by Mr. John Cook, the managing partner in the firm run ning these excursions, reached the city Thursday night and stopped at the Ebbitt House. They started from New York and . will make an extensive circuit before they return, visiting California and many places oi interest during the next thirty five days. Friday they spent driv ing over the city and visiting the sights. naz tne most distinguished visi tor now in Washington is Sir An thony Musgrave, Colonial Goyernor f -w .m r-w oi ueensiana. tie nas Deen gover nor snccessively of Newfoundland, British Columbiana tal, New South Wales, and Jamaica. Lady Mas graye is the daughter of David Dudley Field. They are guests of Justice Field of the Supreme Court. Sir Anthony called on the President Wednesday in company with his host. The long agaitated question of a new opera house for Washington is about to be settled at last. A jot ou Connecticut avenue has been bought for the purpose, and the enterprise is actually on loot. The city is already remarkable for its many monuments and stat ues, but still they come. Four new statues are soou to be added to Statuary Hall, the apartment in the Capitol known as the Old Hall of Bepresentatives, in which each State is entitled to place two statues. Comparatively few of the States are yet represented in the group, but among the statues soon to ar rive from Ohio constituents is one to the memory of President Gar field. Senor Bomero, the Mexican Min ister, has, on account of ill-health, decided to spend the summer traveling in Europe, and the State Department has been notified that he has obtained leave of the Mexi can Government to that end. Dur ing Senor Romero's absence from Washington, the Secretary of the Mexican Legation will remain as Charge d' Affaires. The death of Dr. Joseph, chief of the financial division and disburs ing officer of the Interior Depart ment occured this week. He was honored with unusually impressive obsequies. Willards Hotel, the favorite ren dezvous for the visiting and resi dent politicians of Washington will be closed next Tuesday lor the season. Senator Hill who has been having an unpleasantness with Secretary Teller of the Interior Department, has this week returned to his Col orado home. One of Senator Hill's grievances was that Secretary Tell er ignored his advice in regard to the appointment and removal of Colo rado employees ofthe Department. A fYonderfnl Spring. About two mihjjs soufhwpst pf Big Springs, Texas, thp spring from which the town derives its name is situated. At the foot of a large cliff will be found a hole of perhaps 100 feet in circumference and about 20 feet in depth. The Texas aud Pacific Company have an engine at work pumping water from the spring all the time, but the supply is almost inexhaustible. There seems to be a subterranean river which flows just beneath the spring, and irom this the vast sup-pl3- of jyatqr conies. Several wagon loads of buffalo ' bones have been removed from the spring. The water flows in an aqueduct to the town, and is used by the citizens of the place. A FINE LOCATION FOR A TRUCK FARM. A VAl,lAbJ,E Tit ACT pf MOOD JJKiH LAND in UiihIow county, N.
