THB enterprising Tobaeeo Plant at Darhm pabliahes the views of ixtj-ftT members of the present ; Congress on the repeal of the to baoootax. The oatlook is not at sit eDCoarafing for the repeal, , taoah the North Carolina deles j ttm U almost unanimous Tor the repeal of the entire internal sue laws. TSBSS is absolutely no prospects of tariff reform, abolition of inter aal reTsaoe laws, or any other re form that will reduce taxation and bring the rerennes within the coaomlcsl demands of the govern ment. The tendency is to bring th demands of the government up to tb6 present enormoos revenue rMhs rslher than reduce taxa- io aa4 economize. Of coarse the Deawermts say the Republicans Wt let them do it, and at the asme tisse the Republicans twit the Democrats for not fulfilling their promises. Ia the mean time, the COHeetiOB of war txes goes on, and th people growl and complain that money is "scase." TI'RN THE RASCALS 01 T A gentleman who was present at the joint meeting ot the board of agriculture and farmers at Ualeigh ; tells ns that Capt. Kit. hin -spoke !out in meetm" and told Governor ! SCALES and Dr. IUtti.k. that they ' had no business on the Imard ot i agriculture and it he had the power he would tarn them out at once. , Captain KiT niN takes the sensi ' ble position that if the department of agriculture is intended to ad vance the farming interest ot tne State it should be controlled and conducted by practical farmers; by men who are farmers in practice as well as theory. After this plain talk ot Km hin's fh Governor ought to send a special message to the General Assembly, acknowledge his unfit ness to conduct a State farm and ask for an amendment to the con stitution relieving him of the duty of president ex oflicio of the board of agriculture.

GREAT 3IE5- The BMiemt ReeitrJer speaks its opinion plaialy aboot, the conduct f the United States Senate in promptly passing the Mormon Bill aad hesitatinr and delating the passage of the Interstate Com merce BUI. It says: The United States Senate did tot hesitate last week to pass by irtaallv a aaaaimoas rote, what ia termed the Mormon Bill, dis franchising every Mormon in the territory of Utah: bnt when the noble Senators came to the Inter State Commerce Bill, a bill to - regulate railroad charges, they bes Hated, - debated, offered amend meata,sabstitate, dilatory motions aad dodged the rote. Our people ara alow to see the true inwardness mt their great men, and seldom ever iaqnire into their motives. There are Terj few Mormons in Utah who are living as openly in violation of on r marital laws as are aosaei of - oar Senators. Bngbam Yoanr ' htmseir never had more eoacabiaea than some of these Sen atora now hare stored a way in the departments and drawing salaries trees r.aef National Treasury, and ya taae whiled sepalchres vote sar after year for bills to suppress ormooiam. Bat when it comes to ota oo bills for the relief of the poopte against Jay Uoald & Co., with their millions of money, bow stow they are. And the reason for ail their hesitation and dodging is the fxee use of money by hired lot byiata. A United States Senator caa bo honest. Ixigan died a poor mea after years of service, bat soma who go to Washington poor sooa become millionaires on .onn a year." COL. POLK Oy KAKKKRSt'ALKS Governor Scales, in his mes sage, says, in reference to the experiment station and the neces sity lor establishing it; "The great object in view was to promote the larming interests in the State upon which all her ma terial interests depend. Our lands, muck exhausted, as the result or slave labor, demanded lron and stimulating fertiliser." The comments upon this portion of the message by the logrrsire Farmer shows that Col. Pol.K en ed lor could have been used by the house of representatives. There were enough for all the legislative (todies in the world, although the tooth-brushes might not have gone around. The quantity of soap con sumed w.ts enormous, and in the 1 lists of purchases were gallons of cologne, bay rum. toilet cases, shaving cases, manicure cases, nail polishers, nail jowder, nail tiles, nail scissors, by the dozen and gross, as well as quinine and cathartic pills, and corset laces. The latter are supposed to have been i&sued to Mr. Barnes of Geor- gia anu .Mr. i;aser oi -ew iork. Among other useful articles ac counted tor are two directories of St. Louis and four dozen copies of -Kule.s for Progressive Kucre," which seems to be a game much encouraged by statesmen. The number of pen knives purchased is bewildering and would haveRtocked a large cutlery store. There were dozens of expensive French clocks and fans. Four fans were purchased at ?"o each. There was one order lor opera glasses which amounted to frCHT, aud two or three hundred i more were supplied at a lower cost. I A bracelet at 92-..0 is charged for: I a pencil that cost a knite, fork, j and spoon, for which t9." was, charged. Several trunks, alligator , bags, and other articles for travel ing ontflts, were purchased, cost ing from :0 each down. Silk um brellas by the dozen were supplied to statesmen, and one got a fur robe that was rather expensive. Another, with a view to economy which does not ht in well with the laundry bill, drew a box of celluloid collars and cuffd. Another got an embroidered shawl strap for $4.."0. Mr. O'Hara the colored congress man from North Carolina, appears to be the largest supporter of the magazines, for he subscribed through the clerk of the house for all the monthlies, both for adults and children.

Kitchin does. He says: "We auete this last remark mnrMx oar reeTet that such a lacioas theory long siDce exploded by the most practical ana snccess fnl agriculturists in this and other States should be again brought forth under the sanction of sucn high authority. We esteem oar worthy Chief Executive most high ly and regret that a sense ot duty to the farming interests ol the j State forces ns to dissent from his I theory. The teaching that ex hausted soils aemana strong anu stimulating commercial fertilizers! has cost the farmers or ortn Car olina millions and millions of dol-1 lars since the war and has well aigh bankrupted every one who has relied upon it. "Exhausted" soils are not the kind upon which to use these "strong and stimula ting fertilizers," but thousands of our farmers hive followed this de lusiTe idea to their ruin. If a man, after long and excessive fatigue aad hunger becomes exhausted, should we gire him plenty of good nourishing food or should be have a stimulating drink of whiskey 1 As well might we expect to satiate bis hunger and restore his strength with the whiskey as to give strength and vigor to exhausted soils by the use of "strong and stimulating fer tilizers." STBIKI.NH FROM COYER. The New Berne Jocks ai. says it is re ported that Mr. Washington Bryan is doing all tht he can to hare Messrs. Clark and Lane unsMted. and becauw of this report it publishes from an anonymous eorrespondent a Ditter per- caring for the wounded on the field of battle and in the hospitals, pro tected from all harm but chance shots by the badge they wear and the flag they display. Nor is it only the care bestowed upon the men struck down or maimed in bat tle belonging to one belligerent; it includes those of the enemy also, ' and by the rules of the society makes i no distinction in good offices be j tween them. It is the one re- ueemirjg icululc ui muuciu natoj and may be said to have had its origin during the Crimean war in the hospital service of Florence Nightingale and the devoted band ot women who assisted her m the supreme conflict that broke for a time the do wer of Russia. The ex perience gained at that time of the great value of womanly ministra tions in keepiDg np the spirits of the men in hospitals suffering from the pain ol their wounds and from the shock of their depressing sur roundings, led soon afterwards to the establishment of trainiDg schools for nurses for puDlic hos pitals in peaceful times, and also to have charge of private patients. Special hospitals were also founded and sisterhoods organized for their management. In the United States we have, as yet, bat few training schools for norees, the most note worthy one being that in New York." In Baltimore a similar train ing school is to be attached to the Johns Hopkins Hospital when com pleted. But the special duty of the Society ot the Red Cross is to care for the wounded in battle, and it is an ominous thing when it is suddenlv called upon to fill np its As an spoloT for this conduct, the surgical staff, which also implies a JocKXALsays: " possibly sudden call upon the large "When a communication discusses ! number of men and women com- the conduct of a public officer, the WYO STOLE THE : Wo give in yesterday's And to daj'a issue ol the J"t RMii. fall proceodiags, at published in the 5Wf t Obtrrrer, of the toint aaaetlag of the board ol agricul tar and such farmers a saw At to fUBTr. in Baleiga, on Tuesday aigfct aad Wednesday.

The above is from the Raleigh , Signal, and upon readiug it one would think that it was above pub- : lishing an anonymous oommunica- tioo attacking any one. Hut in the first issue ot the Siijnnl there was over a column article, mjiiel from another paper, from an anonymous correspondent making a Tindietive, personal attack ou members of the , board of can va.sser of raven county.

This fact joined to the active warlike prepara tions that are signaled everywhere, may be taken as evidence that the international situation, so far as the countries of Europe are con cerned, is greatly strained, and that wo are approaching a crisis which may culminate in war in the spring, or may lead, through the negotiations that are still carried on, to a doubtful and uncertain leace. If Germany is the arbitra tor on the continent in one sense, Uussia is also the arbitrator in an other and conflicting sense, and there is nothing at present to base an opinion upon with respect to peace or war in the coming spring, or, if war. where the initial blow wiH le struck.

P. 22S, to appoint a special committee to whom all bills and papers relating to n railroad com mission !e referred, was taken up. Mr. l'.wart opposed the appoint ment of a special committee; thought the regular committees fullv competent to consider such questions; he knew that a similar, pj-ue Tjjble rrm miOno linil hivfin Qrirmintpil nfl:- 1 , . t. the session of ls.S.'i, and bills re- j December. ferred to it were never reported until too late in tho session to act upon them. Mr. Holt thought it an imjiortant matter; that tho appointment of a. special committee was in order to I get such men on the committee as ; best knew the needs of the people, j and who were well informed on the j subject; he did not want to bo on j the committee and asked that he ! be not appointed. Mr. Overman objected to the adoption of the resolution and seut forward the following amendment: ! Provided that this resolution shall j not apply to any bill already re-' ported favorably or unfavorably by ' any com m i ttee." ! Sir. Fwart aeee-ptcd the amend ment and the resolution was adopted.

Church of Jones circuit will be held at Oak Grove, near Polloksville, on I the .ith and 6th ot February next. Our Methodist circuit minister, IJev. Mr. Washburne, preached his first sermon at Trenton on Sunday night last to a large and apprecia i tve audience. Our Trenton citizens request me to say that thero are two vacant houses here now which can be ob tained if nny one may desire to move in this quiet, cheap-living town. Kdward Stanly, the well known Jones connty sportsman, returned from Slocumb's creek on Sunday last. Said his crowd had captured 102 ducks, most of which were shufflers aud mallards, and :J wild geese, having spent only three or four days in tho sport. Wo would suggest that om Tren ton citizens plant out as soon as the proper season arrives a few more shade trees in their town. Nothing impresses a stranger more when he enters a town of the char acter and intelligence of its citizens than when he sees its sidewalks lined with shade trees and their yards planted with beautiful bloom ing flowers. The Methodists of Trenton are going to bnild a place of worship on the parsonage lot. Having al ready quite a respectable amount subscribed for that purpose, and the friends of the enterprise are working with a vim that will cer tainly secure its completion. We are glad to have the pleasure of noting this. We sincerely hope that the action of the Episco palians and Methodists may be followed by all other Christian de nominations at Trenton. Would it not be a good idea for our county commissioners to make an effort while the present Legis lature is in session to have an net passed to authorize the levying and collecting of 11 special tax to pay off the county's indebtedness ! Our county paper is now selling at 50 cents discount. Suppose the evil day is put off two years more, what will become of us T With the great est delerence, I would snggestthat steps be taken in that direction. Would it not bo good policy to have the authority to collect one half of the tax the first year, the remainder the next. house, New York, volumes during The expenses of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, for the past year amounted to $36,640, of which 20.000 was for Mr. Beecher's sal ary. There are 1,277 Congregational churches in the United States, 4,000 ministers and 433.341 mem bers; 27,150 of these joined the church last year, The Chatham, N. B . World says that at a recent revival at Mill Branch every man and woman in the place except one was con verted. Congregationalism is miking rapid progress in the west. The success it attributed mainly to the Sunday schools, which are under excellent management. . w i : , 1 1 pi'.t' thai oi I o, II. , 1 , ui ire m .a lease a"' ing our yon ma rr I ice M: .

In his case the result was simply marvelous, as the attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis Bhowed per cent, of albumen and granular tube casts.'' inn ner nn ni t m r-w. ,r,mA tr. a singular and incompn Lensible to me. 1 tiaa never seen anything like it. The patient recovered promptly, and is to day a well and healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the reme dy, and after analysis 1 found it to be of purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circum stances." "Casting aside all professional prejndice I gave it a thorough trial, as I was anxious that my patients shoald be restored to health, no matter by what medi cine. I prescribed it in a great variety of cases, Acute. Chronic, Bright'a Disease, Congestion of tho Kidneys, Catarrh of the Blad der, and in every instance did it speedily effect a cure.'' "For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this state ment regarding the value of War ner's safe cure. I make this state ment on facts I am prepared to produce and substantiate. I ap peal to physicians of large practice who know how common and decep tive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their patients Warner's bafe curereatore them to perfect health earn their gratitude, and thus be true physicians. "I am satisfied that more than one-half of the deaths which occur in England are caused, primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, and tho consequent retention in the blood of the poisonous uric and kidney acid. Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of albu men, relieves the inflamation and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years' experi ence in my profession, I conscien tiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and eiiect more cures by the use of Warner's safe cure than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, the majority of which, I am sorry to say, are very uncertain in their action." "Isn't that a straightforward, manly letter " "Indeed it is." Well, but do you know the author has been dreadfully perse cuted for writing it?" "How so? What has he done to merit it?" 'Done? Ho has spoken the truth 'out of school' and his fellow physi cians, who want the public to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly angry with him for admitting professional ina bility to resell certain disorders. "That letter created a wonderful sensation among the titled classes and the public. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen's College, from which institution he was grad uated, asked for an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, anp notified him that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. 'The doctor replied that he al lowed his patients to make use of Warner's safe cure only after all the regular methods hd failed, and when he was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. LTpon their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, he was so much surprised that he wrote the above letter to tho Family Doctor. He regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he conld not conscien tiously retract the facts as written to the Family Doctor. 1 "The faculties of both colleges replied that unless ho retracted they they should cut him off, which would naturally debar him from again practicing his profession, and also prevent his securing an other appointment in the RovaF :Navy:-' i The illustrious doctor's dilemma is certainly an unpleasant one, em Hawkins, by name, survives her He is one hundred years old, has been blind for a number of years but keeps well as could be expected for one of his age.

At OH 4 - Men may preach, aud the world will lisfen; but profit comes by example. A parent inculcates gentleness in his children by many sound precepts; bnt they see him treat a dumb animal in a very harsh manner, and, in consequence, his instructions are worse than lost, for they are neither heeded nor respected. His example as a gentle and humane man would have been sufficiedt for his children without ODe word of command. The Great Eastern steamship has been converted into a show vessel, and for the first time since her con struction is making money for her owners. The ship, which for sev eral months has been on exhibi tion at Liverpool, has lately gone to Dublin, where she will stay for the winter. Only her screw pro peller is now used. Waiters. Nothing surprises a European, on his arrival in the new world, so much as the demeanor of our hotel waiters. An English man, who landed in New York re cently, remarked that the waiterjat a good New York hotel was res pectful enough to a guest, but he treated the guest only as he would an equal with whom he happened to have business. That is just as it ought to be. A hungry human being desires to take nourishment, and another human being is will ing, for a fair compensation, to con vey to him the food he needs. The obligation is mutual. Each owes the other the respect and consideration due from man to man no more, no less. An Old Bachelor's Opinion. One of our courts has been en gaged iu hearing a case, brought by a mother to dissolve the mar riage of her son, on the ground that he was a lunatic at the time of the marriage. A crusty old bachelor trusts that the plea will not be granted, as it may separate half the vonng couples in the country. Filling For Cracks.
