New Hajtovxr county having failed to vote one hundred thou sand dollars subscription to the Wilmington and Onslow railrxid, steps are being taken for a vote by the city of Wilmington on the prop osition. If our Onslow friends with to hasten the day when they will hare a railroad they must take hold themselves and aid in the en terprise. A little encouragement on their part to the East Carolina Land and Railway Company will insure the beginning of a work which will eventually lead to what the people of the county want. The citizens of Uot Spring, North Carolina, have complained to the interstate commerce com mission against tbe Western N. C dirisioa of the K. & D. railroad and its connecting line, tbe East Tennessee, irginia and Georgia railroad, for discriminating against them. They want the commission to arm them with such swords of defence as will enable them to suc cessfully attack the ;,hydra-headed monster." They ask for one thou sand, dollars damages and such otber relief as the commission may see fit to grant. From the number of petitions and complaints going in it is evident that the commission will have ne idle bread to ear it all are heard and considered. SPECIAL TAX BONDS. The suit against the State of North Carotfna and Auditor Roberts came an "before the Circuit Court at Hal- eigh last week, Judges Bond and Seymour presiding, and was argued on demurrer. The Judges differed in opinion and the case will be cer tified to the Supreme Court of the United States. These are the fraudulent bonds authorized by the - LrniiTVELl) Legislature near twenty jears ago, for whkh the people received virtually nothing. The State as a matter of course will resist payment to tbe bitter end. BLAISE AHEAD. SlLSATOK Sherman recently made a speech before the Illinois Legislature which was quite differ ent in tenor from his rather con ciliatory speech at Nashville. Im mediately after the delivery of the speech a representative of the St. Louis Q lobe-Democrat interviewed the members as to their presidential preference and they stood 46 for BUU3S and 19 for Shebmajj . The latter gentleman would doubt less hare had better lack if he bad repeated his Nashville speech. THE C. F. k Y. Y. RAILROAD -EX- TEX I) IT TO DEEP WATER. The 3hptf ft Obterver in a notice of tbe proceedings of the last an nual meeting of the stockholders of the C. F. & Y. V. Eailroad, says : W are proud ot thi lino a rail way built and operated by North CarotiaJsas for North Carolisiaaa and bop ctwt thing- or it for the benefit of th State at Urge. We rejoice with the Seta d; 06 server, that there is one railroad In the State distinctively North Car olinian and we are anxious to see it connected with others that ought to be, if not already, equally dis tinctive as State institutions. The y. tl' O. closes its article, which is very complimentary to the management with this para graph: W are aailoua to see tbe C. F. 3t T. V. extend its eastern terminus to deep water on oar coast. With such xteaeioa. tijint a line straight tfcroacfc the State from the southeast to the xuthweai, we beliere the road would do ae jnuch as any road possibly eooldto develop the hidden resources ef North Carolina, and so brine wealth to our people. 2fow this is just the thing we want. The road from Goldsboro to Morehead City is already dis tinctively North Carolinian. Build the connecting link from Goldsboro to the CF.Jk Y. V. and then we will have the line from the south east to the northwest, and a bright future for our North Carolina ports. We have no desire to start the tap in the old spring topic the A. & N. C. IS. as it seems to be life sustaining without the applica tion of artificial means to infuse the life-giring substance, but we know we speak the sentiments of a large majority of the people of the ! coon ties that own stock in it, in say- j tug they earnestly desire to make it a part of the C. F. & Y. V. system. , Secure this connection note, with - the understanding thai at the ez-piraiic-A of the lease of the North Carolina, road to the Ii. & D. it shall also become a part of the sys tem, and we will hare two lines of f - railway extending throngB the Stat in different directions with Morehead City and sew lierne as outlets. Then we will begin to realize the dreams of Governors Dvdley and Morf.hf.ad. This is the only hope lor building up the ports of New Berne and Morehead City, and the building ui of these will help this entire sectien of the State. Of course the railro.ul cor porations that are not distinctively North Carolinian will bitterly op pose such ;i move if the State authorities dare to make ,t. lo thev run the State! I THE SI MMER RESORTS. The heated term is now upon us however fickle the weather may seem. This is probably the last cool spell we shall have until iater in the fall. The sud will soon pass the meridian and while retiring from it will shine with increased force for sixtv or ninety davs. Flannels, overcoats and winter ap parel may as well be laid aside and the possessor of tneni buckle down to the sweltering task of trying to keep cool. The next great question is, where shall we go to obtain the necessary comfort and recreation? Morehead City is always before us and easy of access while Beaufort from the days of the long past stands without a rival as to com forts, health and pleasure. Nag's Head also offers indncements. which are highly increased by the people who are met with at that resort. The real old North 'aro linian and Virginian blend in beau tiful assimulation and rival each other in the old time amenities of life at the latter place. But to the low lander there is nothing like a trip to the moun tains. There are the high hills towering above the clouds, the green slopes of the mountain sides, the rippling of the gushing stream as it leaps down the cliffs and rocks on its meandering course to the sea all conspiring to make tti rir md toils of the past, look down with pleasant ; - rrt composure on the trnggling masses below them. But again, New Berne should not be overlooked. The Hotel Albert will make you as comfortable as nv n ace. l nejseuse river wun the juncture of forces with the Trent will give as refreshing breezes, as pleasant sails, as in vigorating rowing and as tine fish ing as can be found anywhere. PAMLICO (OCSTY AND THE RUI.-i ROAD DEBT, j At the meeting of the Board of .Magistrates of Pamlico connty on . the first Monday in Jnne the Board, ! bv resolution, instructed the Board I of Commissioners of the county to pay no more on the railroad debt until the county received proper! credit, by reason of Craven connty' refunding and compromising the said bouded debt. ; The proiosition is but a fair one and bears on its tace single handed J justice, u hen Pamlico assumed. her proportion of the debt of tbe mrtf kr ennnfv th AAknmiition W.1A I ha do1 fh. ht q b ,hn P.in. t . lated ana tne amount tnen out- standing. But, if Craven subee- quently compromised that indebt-, ness whatever redaction f tbe same was made, should be shared by all the payers interested equally and uniformly. II a bond for one thousand dollars at tbe time of the adjustment of the debt, between the counties of Craven and Pamli co, was subsequently reduced by a compromise, to five hundred dol-, lars": it would seem butjnst that inasmuch as Craven had been the ! gamer by the compromise of one half, that Pamlico should also be a gainer of a like proportion. This we presume to be the position taken by the justices of Pamlico ami of its fairness we think no one can complain. But was there i compromise when the county of Craven refunded her bonded debt ' We think there vas not. It has always ieen understood, and we think it is true, that Craven re funded her debt, giving new londs for old ones with the interest ac crued and unpaid added. For in stance, a bond fr one thousand dollars with five years interest ac crued and unpaid entered into the refunded debt as thirteen hundred dollars bearing interest trom tbe date of refunding, which was in fact au iu re.ise ui ; iie interest bearing deb: ami not a rednctiou. The reason assigned inr this course by those engaged in refunding the debt, we understand is that the holders of the old bonds were ob taining judgments again.' the county and by wiifs of mandamus compelling the county to meet its' obligations, to the great distress of tax paeraaiul ultimate ruin of the coBimiiiiitv. llnre the re funding upon these terms and con ditions at the time, and upon as is supposed the best that could be! done.

The teeth should be brushed twice a day. The proper time is on rising in the morning aud ou retiring at night. In the morniug a a?h may te used. Brush gently over the crowns of the teeth. This removes any mncous that ha collected during the night and leaves the mouth in a refreshing condition. Just before retiring a tooth powder should be employed aud particles of food lodged between the teeth removed, which, when left for sev eral hours, result in the fermenta tion of an acid, which causes soft ening of the tooth-structure, and thus promotes decay. After eating, a quill toothpick and floss silk should be used lor removing the debris. Dr. Gilbert. Aurora Items. Our truckers are busy shipping potatoes.

Whereupon, the said llev. h. O. Wiche did charter a boat and repair to Ocracoke with his family, in good order, but with tbe promise that he would return to tbe charge in a short time. This people will feed the preachers. On the morning of June irth, a gloom of sadness was cast over our town on account ot the death of Mr. Taul Lincke who was shot and killed while in bed and supposed to be asleep. A Coroner's jury was sammoned and tried tbe case. The verdict of the jury that Mr. Lincke was killed by a pistol shot in the handg of W. A. Potts. Mr. Lincke lived on the farm of Col. Shaffer, ofKaleigh. and was a hard work ing farmer, a German by birth, an educated man, and to be thus brutally murdered in the still hours of the night is enough to arouse the shame and indignation of oar whole community, to think that there is among us one so cowardly mean as to kill a man asleep. Mrs. Lincke was arrest as being acces sory to the crime, but no evidence was produced sufficient to bind her to court, she was released. Mr. Potts was committed to jail.

A narrative that has all the thrilling interest of a story of ad venture, and at the same time con veys a most impressive warning against 4iwalking the track," is told in the coluiuus of the Savan nah Xetrs: The New Oi leans express w as running along at the rate of forty miles an hour between Cairo and niguam , lieorgia, wtien the. en gineer on approaching Big Tide Creek discovered a man making his way over the trestle work of the bridge. Finding that he would not have time to get across ahead of the swiftlv approaching train, the man, a large, stout individual, endeavored to drop between the ties so as to hold on by his hands while the train should pass over uim. lo the norror ot tne engineer however, he caught bv the waist aDd hung there between the rail with his head and shoulders stick ing up. an object of certain destruc tion it the train should strike him. Engineer Jenkins sprang oft" his seat, jammed the air-brakes down as tightly as thev could be put on and reversed his huge engine, one of the largest on the road. The man's cries were described as something fearful as he hung there awaiting almost certain death, and his feelings can perh.ins never be described. He must have died mentallv a dozen times, but almost miraculous ly the engine came to a stop hiss ing and trembling when the pon derous cowcatcher was within three teet of the unfortunate man. He was rescued trom his perilous position and went Ids way re loicin at Lis almost miraculous escape, But for Kugincer Jenkins's prompt and efficient efforts, and his care and watchfulness, the man, whose name was unknown, would have died a most horrible death. As :t is, he will hardly care to venture npon such another experiment as crossing a trestle ahead of an express tram. (inhlen A goxy.

J. T. Eaton. Revenue Raid T)r. Blackuall Makes a Haul. Ou Wednesday evening a party of revenue officers, with Dr. G. W. Blacknall at the head of them, left this city to make a raid upon the illicit distilleries in Johnston coun ty, and it was quite late in the night when they arrived in the neighborhood. They found one distillery in full operation, but could find no owner for it. They went to work, however, and de stroyed the still and all that could be found appertaining to it. The owner must have "gotten wind" of the Doctor s intended visit, or else he might have been at home to re ceive him. After finishing np their work at this place they proceeded a short distance further, found a second establishment of a like character, and this too running on lull time. They were more fortunate in this case and capt ured the owner, who was William T. Holland. They destroyed the still and everything connected with the manufacture of ''blockade Hquor" around the premises. They then returned to the city with their prisoner, and as the District Court is in session he was put upon his trial at once. The grand jury had been dis charged, and it looked as though t be "blockader" would have to re main in jail until the next term of couit. He, however, plead guilty to the charge of illicit distilling, and was sentenced to imprison ment for ninetv davs and to nav a fine of 'r'oOO. 'This looks like speedy justice.

That angelic cat saw it, and was instant ly transformed into a demon, with a hump upon its back and a tail of imported bologna sausage. Every limb was still; he walked sidewise his eyes shot fire like those of dragon in a fairy tale, and he spit venomously; and all this because of a tiny puppy that had just opened its eyes. I gave that cat away, bine ribbon and all, next day; and I, for one, have ceased to decorate my cats. I no longer pretend to know vir tue lrom vice in leiiue torm, out as a ususl thing, 1 should say that tortoise-shells cats were mean and selfish; that gray cats, though some times generous, are fierce and vor acious; a black cat merits its repu tation for demoniac qualities, and is capable of any evil deed that may be accomplished with claws and teeth; a white cat, with odd eyes one blue and one green is always stupid, and generally deaf, and a little, sneaking cat, with pale reddish hair and weakeyes. will be suspicious of you after you have been its friend for months. The most reliable cat is the pure Mal tese. I believe one might learn to love a Maltese, and make it love as a dog does; but my Maltese cats are always stolen within the first week of their residence beneath my roof, so that may be a delusion on my part. But whatever cats are, kittens are certainly the prettiest, cunning- est, sweetest little animals ever domesticated. They are embodied fun and contentment, something to laugh at when you are blue, to court and cuddle when all the world seems old and grim and mercenary. They scratch your furniture, and hang on by their needle-like claws to your flesh when you wish to pnt them down; they claw feather dus ters to pieces, and pull the fur from your muff; they are mischievous and uncontrollable, and will be old cats someday, but they are such little handfulls of sunshine that you love them and delight in them iu spite of yourself.

A tem perance missionary in Glasgow left a few tracts with a young woman one morning. Calling at the same house the next day, he was rather discon certed at observing the tracts doing duty as curl papers on the head of the girl to whom he had given them. "Weel, my lassie,'" ho remarked, 'I see yon have used the tracts I left wi'ye; but,': he added in time to turn her merriment into con fusion, "ye have putten them on the wrang side o'your heid, ma woman !" Independent. ONE OF KEY'S POEMS. The following ia the most familiar of the poems attributed to P. 8. Ney. He is eaid to have written it in the album of one of his school girls May 2G, 1S20 Though I of the chosen, the choice6t. To fame pave her loftiest tone: Though I 'mong the brave, the bravest. My plume and my baton are gone. My eagle that mounted to conquf t Hath Btooppd from his altitude high, A prey to a vulture the fouleet. No more to visit the sky. One sigh for the hopes that have per ished . One tear for the wreck of the past, One look upoall A Imwe herinbed, One lingering loot, 'tis the last. And now from remembrance I banish The glories that ehone m my train: O, vanish, fond memories, vanish, Return not to sting me again ! Ht HbLlT NEEDS. Mr. Whittier is quoted as saving "It's a great thing to own a little bit of the Lord's earth straight up to the heavens. A man feels better for it." I covet not Chateau in Spain My wants are few and yerv plain; I would not have the muss and care j That costly palaces must wear, I would not have a menial band To come and go at my command, 1 hanker not for velvet gear, Nor diamonds pure as Peri's tear: Take all tbe baubles high and low That Fashion's victims love to show . I would not raise a finger up In hope some one would fill mv cup With choice champagne or rich Tokay. While fountains leap along the way With water pure for thirsty lips. Whereto the wild bird comes and dips His pretty beak and flirts his wings. And as he goes with rapture sings, No all I ask is one small spot Of common earth a little plot Whereon might grow a stately tr e A marvel seems a tree to me, A wondrous birth of sun and air. That wills to be, and it is there, 1 With all the glory of a thought i From out the depths of being wrought 1 long with all my human zeal. As rock, and tree, and blossm feel. That one small acre should be mine, Whereon should trail the graceful vine, And not the less potato grow And wholesome pea and bean make show , Most true, I weave an idle verse- Bat then, I might have done much worse Might speculate and steal and cheat And be a millionaire dead beat. Will no one give to me a rod Of blessed earth, for love of God? Elizabeth Oakes Sinith. Hollywood, Carteret co. N. C. AprU2Q,S. Own Yonr Own Homes. Every man, whether he is a work ingman in the common acceptation of the word or not, feels a deep in terest in the management of the affairs of the city, county, and State in which he lives whenever ne owns a uome. ne is more pa triotic, aptly says our worthy con temporary, the Industrial Gazette, and in many ways is a better citi zen than the man who simply rents and who has but little if any assur ance of how long it will be before he can be ordered to move; to which may be added in many cases the saving of more money." Of course it requires some economy to lay up a sufficient amount of money to purchase and pay for a home; "but this very fact, if properlj- carried out after the home is acquired, may be the instrument of furnishing the means to commence and prosecute a business upon your own responsi bility. True, in "some cases it will require more economy, perhaps, than we are now jpracticing. But the question with every man, and especially if he is the head of a family, is, Can he afford it? That ii, can he afford to live up his wages as last as he earns them without laying up anything for the lic.ure: It he is the head of a fam ily, he is obliged to pay rent, and it does not require very many years of rent paying to make up an amount sufficient to purchase and pay for a comfortable home. You have to pay the rent. This you say you cannot avoid and be hon est. ell, you cannot be honest with your family unless you make a reasonable attempt to provide them a home of their own in case anything should happen to you And the obligation to do this should be as strong as the one to pay rent or provide the other neces sanes for the comfort of your fami iy. w nen you own a Home, vou feel a direct interest in public affairs that otherwise you might consider were of little interest. Scientific American. Freedom from Care. There is no subject on which men oftener err in theory, as well as in practice, than how to be happy. It is natural ana proper that we should banish unreasonable solicitude and vexatious cares, and live peaceably with ourselves, it any prefer anx iety to contentment, and derive happiness from pain, their prefer ences will be amply gratified in the common course of events; and their philosophy is useful only when difficulties perplex and miseries torment. It is the mind which characterizes the man, and it is the mind that should be disencumber ea oi au needless anu pernicious cares. .But nothing is so misun derstood as freedom from cares. It is supposed bv some to exclude concern for those around us, and thus it degenerates into selfishness; it is imagined by another to with draw attention from misery and want, and thus it becomes inhu manity and cruelty; bv a third par ty it is supposed to allow no atten tion to the advancement ol" society, mil thus it is UL.social and morose; by a fourth it is thought to forbid a regard to person and interest, and thus it degenerates into slovenli ness, and sloth and poverty. IIow are these abuses to be remedied? The corrective must be habitual, not occasional only. Every man lives for others as well as himself. And while the tenor of his life should be that of cheerful industry in his calling, he should keep open every avenue to compassion and liberality and munificence. The business of such a mail- is habitual, and includes no unreasonable cares his benevolence is uniform, and finds opportunities enough for exer cise. ne lives repucaoiy, ana is beloved by his contemporaries. In this way he secures a fair share of happiness. X. Y. Ledger. II is One Consolation. "Can you give me a drink, madam:'' beg ged the tramp. "I can give you a drink of water,' ' she said. "Well," he said, after some consideration, "water'ill do, if you can give me and old beer bottle to drink from. I'm a poor and lowly wreck, madam," he concluded with pathos, "but, thank heaven, I have still left the remnants of what was at one time considered the finest im agination in the country where I wasborn." Courtship. A man, to be suc cessful in love, should think only of his sweetheart and himself. Au old author observes, that lovers are never tired of each other's company, because they are always talking of themselves. Election Notice.
