It was stated at the State Depart ment Saturday that the BehriDg Sea fisheries cor reion deuce will undoubtedly go to Congress next week. It would have gone iu be fore but for a desire oa tbe part of Secretary Blaioe that tbe corre spondence should include bis an swer to the most recent dispatch from Lord Salisbury. Wk have received oiuuy eat a logues of schools and colleges. It is impossible to give to all of them the notice to which their merits ustly entitle them; but we take occasion to say that they afford abundant evidence that higher education is receiving attention in North Cajolina commensurate with its importanoe. The Election bill would apply practically to atate as well ad Con gressional elections where they some on the same day. It would operate to carry State elections a well as Federal, and would make it necessary for every State to change where both election- are held on the same day. ix. . J : fy tl.

Philadelphia Times It is indeed to be regretted that the tranquility and prosperity of tbe South should be interrupted through the devices of politicians who know nothing and have noth ing to do with the part of the country tbey seek to control. The operation of tbe Federal election bill in the South would be the most powerful argument ever made in faror of local self government. Charlotte Chronicle. IT looks like war in Europe The relations between Germany and England are becoming more strained, while affairs in the Turkish Asiatic frontier are just aboowthe same as they were on the Dannbian frontier when Turk iah outrages in Bulgaria gave pretext for Bussia invasion, and a Rossi an army may shortly march into Armania. If you are nervous man don borrow trouble. People are rarely driven insane by actual sorrows but by tbe anticipation of them Tbe greatest calamity is not so maddening as suspense. "I have had a great deal of trouble in this life," said a wise man, "and most of it never came." Wait until it comes, and maybe it won't come at all. Thkks seems to be force in the asseveration that the census has been taken in the interest of tbe Radical party. Somehow Demo cratic districts appear small as a rule and Republican districts cor raspondingly large. "Depopulator" Porter deserves bis title. There is one fact, however, that he has not beea able to hide away out of sight, and that is the remarkable growth of certain southern towns and cities in recent years Wa cannot determine the present prospects of the Force bill. Repub licans themselves are divided in opinion in regard to it. The con ait ion ot tne nepuDilcan party is desperate. If they pass the bill it will divide their party; if they fail to pass it the Democrats will be successful and elect the next Con gress. The question with them is what means will best secure Repub lican ascendency. The good of the country does not enter into their calculations. Norfolk, Raleigh, Charlotte, Wdmington and other neighboring cities, are pressing to the front with flying colors. This is scarcely less gratifying to our people than to those of these respective comma nitiea. We should emulate their example, and we will achieve the same success. The time is not far distant when New Berne and Washington will put on new life and our sea girt section become the garden spot of the world. The New York Star, of the 15th has an article nnder the head "May have to adopt gas" in which it says "the high price for electric lights startled the commissioners." "All the bids of the companies to supply the city showed an increase rate of 20 per cent. Mayor Grant and associates inclined to reject them." If it turns, out that New York can't afford to have electric lights, it will je odhsidered con elu sive that small cities cannot afford the expense of such a luxury The Milwanke-Sentinel of Tues day states that Mr. J. A Bouitz has been quite seriously ill at his rooms at tbe hotel in that city ever since the third day of his arrival in Milwaukee, but is glad to be able to state that be is convalescent and able to sit up. Private intelligence received from Mrs. Bonitz confirms the above and gives assurances that Mr. lionitz will be able to reach home by Saturday. Wilmington Messenger. We trust that Mr. Bonitx will soon recover. He is one of North Caro lina's most useful and progressive citizens.

IT IS A DEMOCRATIC PAPER, BUT INDE PENDENT IN VIEYV8, AND WILL GIVE THE NEWS AS FaIRLY AND IMPARTIALLY AS IS POSSIBLE. NORTH CAROLINA AS RESORT. A HEALTH Naturally Adapted for All of ih Tear. Seasons It in only within the last few years that North Carolina has be come so widely known as a place ior health seukers and popular re sorts. Tbe whole State is so situ ated, naturally, that all the various uuaeral waters and temperatures can be obtained. From the braciDg atmosphere of the mountains in tbe West to the healing salt air and waters of tbe sea in tbe East can be found large-numbers of visitors every summer and the attendance is rapidly increasing as their vir tues are made known. The visitors are principally from South Caro lina, Georgia and Tennessee, with : a goo a uumDer irom ArKiu)8as and Louisiana. We cannot better kpeak of these developments than quoting tne following from one of oar ex changes : "The very great attractions and advantages which this State pre- sents as a health and pleasure resort are becoming more highly appreciated everyday. From the Northern, Western and Oulf States Ln.Ail. ara fl(ukinff tn Vnrth Turn ! h"D"P.u .-o - , I... ..j AnHmir nlaaaanf nn at- HUB OUU UUUIUf, riuwiiiuv " v. u. t tractive homes, from the seaooast to tbe mountains. Our seacoast resorts are unsurpassed for surf bathing and deep sea fishing, be sides furnishing in close proximity, abundance of game for the sports man. The pure water and delight ful climate with the health restoring mineral waters found all through the central portion of the State, have filled the hotels and boarding houses with thousands of invalids and people seeking recreation and pleasure. And when we reach tbe mountains we find tbem already thronged with thousands of people from all sections of the Union. Not only the palatial hotels at Ashe ville, but in all the smaller towns and in farm bouses throughout the 'land of the sky' have people found homes for the summer where tbey can enjoy the most magnificent scenery, the purest atmosphere, and conditions of health and enjoy ment to a larger extent, than any where else on the American Conti nent. "There are many points on our coast, which, as winter resorts for neoDle from the North who desire ior a time to escape their rigorous climate, surpass any locality on this continent. This may seem to be strong language, bnt the facts fullv iustifv its use. Take as an instance the points near Wilming ton, or Swansboro. which is located in sight of the ocean. At these points on account of proximity of the Gulf stream, the weather during the entire winter is mild, while there is the absence of tbe plague of insects common to Florida and also tbe liability to yellow fever which so often finds its way to the Deninsular State. In addition to this, there is an abundance of the finest fish and oysters, with game of ail kinds. With proper hotel accommodations these points could be made a perfect paradise for winter tourists and at the same time be within oply a few hours of tnetr jNortnern nomes. x ne rapiai- ty with which our State is growing in favor, both as a summer and winter resort, will soon make it the most popular on the continent, as it is in every way tbe most at tractive and desirable." In reference to securing the most available candidate in the Second Congressional District the Windsor Ledger says: "We want the strongest man in the district for Congress. That man is Hon. F. M. Simmons, of New Berne. He made ns a good Representative and gave satisfaction in his dis triet. We believe that he would poll more Republican votes than any other Democrat in the party.' WHAT MORE IS SEEDED ! Eastern Carolina challenges at tent ion ! tier climate is unsur passed. Her resources are exhaust less. Hers is a brave, intelligent and virtuous people. Why then is Eastern Carolina stationary and silent T They tell us that sections less favored by heaven are pressing to tbe front and leaving behind them the crude relics of past civilizations. There must be some reason for this, -and it becomes us to find it and make it contribute to a more glorious future. Eastern Carolina has permitted herself to be isolated. For some reason commerce makes its way over iron tracks beyond her borders and makes her tbe tributary rather than reservoir of wealth. The first thing needful is the energizing of our people nothing can be done without energy. Then utilize that energy through the creation of other channels of com merce and the establishment of new business enterprises. Extend the Wilmington and New Berne railroad to Washington and trans portation facilities will be given to the East commensurate with her demands. But this will not suffice to secure a bright and prosperoes future. "Industry always moves in advance of population. To bring people there must be work for them to do. Erect factories establish enterprises and you cannot build houses fast enough for the people ho will want them; but without the means of employment the houses that are built cannot be permanently filled. New Berne and Washington have not been brought to the po sitions to which they are entitled by natural causes. Their intelli gent people have not used their intelligence to the best advantage; money has not been employed so as to accomplish the best results, either for individuals or for the public. There should be more illingness to risk something for the general good. Suppose New Berne should abandon Its want ot confidence, and combine all its resources on life-giving and wealth producing enterprises, what a spec- tacle would be presented ! This is the way to make the city grow. Tbe niouey ia here. The disposition ia here, but leadership ks wanting. Let business men of acknowledged ability take the leadership. Com mence some enterprise, and tbe people will carry it to a glorious coDsummatiou . One enterprise will blaze the way to uuother, and every man contribute to the well being ol bis neighbor. Tbe present is a propitiou.s time for the inauguration of industrial enterprises. Crops arc good, and all classes feel the exbileratiou in cident to agricultural success. Never was there a better time for the application of the old adage, "strike while tbe iron is hot." To the Voters of the Jinth Senatorial District of North Carolina. One of the counties composing said district, viz: tho county of Onslow, owes adebtofabouttwelve j thousand dollars, and said debt gunner tne constitution and laws I ot the State) cannot be collected I without a special act of the Qene- ral Assembly authorizing tbe board of county commissioners to levy a tax for that purpose, and as its creditors have appealed in vain to their members, both Senators and Representatives in the three last I suinna nl tho (wMipr il Aucomhlv I frr t tbe passage of such an act, and iui as the candidate, thus far, (both Tor the Senate and House of Repre sentatives) who have declared themselves for the ne.it General Assembly have pledged themselves not to pass snch an act without submitting it to the qualified voters of the county, and as such an act was passed at the session of 1SS7 and submitted to said voters and they (through the advice ol" the very Representative who passed the act aud ! hers of like calibre( voted it down by an overwhelming majority, and at the last session ot tbe General Assembly the entire board of c mnty commissioners, eighteen out ol twenty-six of the magistrates ai;d a large number of the best citizens aud largest tax payers of tlu county, joined the creditors in a petition, praying for the passage ol an act authorizing the board of commissioners to fund said debt into bonds bearing interest at 8 per cent, and payable in one, two, three and four years, and as such a bill was introduced, and notwithstanding its passage was unanimously recommended by the committee to whom it was re ferred, our Representative, Mr. Oilman, (having pledged himself to the people not to pass any such bill without submitting it to them again, and believing as be did, that that pledge elected him, and tbe passage of that bill over his bead would defeat his election to the next General Assembly) he exerted all tbe power in him to defeat it ; and the Legislature through courtesy to him alloiccd him to defeat it.

There fore, the creditors, for ourselves and on behalf of a large portion of the best citizens and largest tax payers of the county, earnestly appeal to you, and especially to those of you of the counties of Carteret and Jones, to aid ns in sending some one to represent this district in tho next General As sembly who is above class legisla tion, and who is not afraid to do what he believes and knows to be right, even at the risk of not being elected again.

SAMPLE COPY OK THE WEEKLY JOURNAL SENT KKEE TO ANY AD DHE8S The Other Side of Mr. Simmons. Feur years ago I voted for Mr. Simmons as a free trader In the debates on the Mills bill Mr. Sim mons spoke lor a protective tariff on rice and carried his point. That defeated him in the next election. The high tariff men would not have him, the low tariff men conld not trust him. ,In his speech before the CraveD county convention Mr. Simmons says he desires the nomination as a Democrat, and if elected he will treat every interest with impartial fairness. Now I speak as a laborer, a farmer and a mugwump or inde pendent voter, and this is not what we want. I preter Mr. Simmons for his education and ability, but I want him entirely on my side, pledged to a tariff bill that will permit me to buy what I want Irom the ones whom I supply tho best goods for the least niouey. Farm era have to sell their products in the markets of the world for such prices as the whole world fixes. All the proceeds of a farmer's salts are spent in snch things as he cannot raise, or manufactured goods, and we want the privilege of the markets of the world to buy In. There is no justice in making us live as we do, barely able to pay our hands fifty cents per day to enrich the owners ol factories and enable them to pay their helpers from two dollars to five dollars per day. I am not in favor of the sub treasury bill, but want equal privi leges or free trade for all, with a tariff on luxuries, a tax on incomes and the government favoring the masses and not classes. Tariff for revenne only. Jorm Peaece. Man must have occupation, or be miserable. Toil is the price of sleep and appetite, of health and enjoyment. Tbe very necessity which overcomes onr natural sloth is a blessing. The world does not contain a briar or a thorn which divine mercy could have spared. we are happier with the sterility, which we can overcome by indus try, than we could have been with spontaneous plenty and unbounded profusion. The body and thft mind are improved by the toil that fatigues them. The toil is a thousand times rewarded by the pleasure which it bestows. Its enjoyments are peculiar. No wealth can purchase them, no indolence can taste them. They flow only from the exertions which they repay. i Pamlico County Convention. Bayhoro, July &th is:n.

When the potatoes are dug in Ireland, they are immediately picked up and deposited in trench near by,about three feet deep and two and a half feet wide, and heaped very carefully in pyramidal form, pains being taken to avoid bruising them. Straw is then placed over them to the depth of about two inches, and earth placed over the straw to the depth of about four inches. Another layer of straw is placed on top of this, and then more earth on top again This is done to exclude both the air and sunshine. By carefully saving Irish potatoes after they are ripe, in the Southern States, where two crops ot these potatoes can be made in one year, there would be no difficulty in securing good po tatoes for the farmer's table from January to January. The second crop of Irish potatoes is planted from late in June to August. They should b sprouted under moist straw before planting Picayune. This Hand;Sever;struck Me. We recently heard the following touching incident : A little boy had died. His body was laid oat in a darkened room, waiting to be laid away in a cold lone grave. His afflicted mother and bereaved sister went in to look at the sweet face of tbe precious sleeper, for his face was beautiful even in death. As they stood gazing on the face of one so beloved and cherished, the little girl asked to shake his hand. The mother at first did not think it best, but the child re peated the request and seemed very anxious about it. She took the cold, bloodless hand of her boy, and placed it in the hand of bis weeping sister. The dear child looked at it a moment, caressed it fondly, and then looked np to her mother through tears of affliction and love, and said : "Mother, this hand never struck me." What could be more touching and love ly I United Presbyterian. The best medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating., easy of appli cation, and one that will reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of tbe efforts to treat ca tarrh during the past obliges us to ad mit that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. The more distressing symptoms yield to it.

A.nd Othniel the sonef Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it," Judges 112, 13. I heard the voice of Caleb, my father, on the day When the warlike men of Judah stood in their bold array; Aud they looked towards the contiict like the war-horse in his might, And the flashing of their spearheads was a fierce and wondrous sight. "Go ye up to Kirjath-sepher," so came my father's words, ''And drive out the men of Cauaan with their flocks and with their herds; And the mighty man o valor who shall thrust them from tho land, L'nto him there shall be given yonder dark-eyed maiden's hand." Then I reeled with sudden faintness, and the color fled my cheek. And I strove to cry, ,-My father,'' but my lips refused to speak; And I dared not lift my eyelids unto one who loved me well, For 1 knew the same fear whitened the brow of Othniel. You, oft beneath the starlight, where our i people's teuts were spread, . j We had trod the plains together with a light and careless tread; j W'c had stood in awe together where tho 1 Jordan back ward rolled ; I But still the same, unchanging, was the ! tale of love he told. j We had dreamed of prosperous seasons when the Canaanite should cease, When Israel should triumph aud our people dwell at peace; When the hills should smile with olives and the slopes be clad with vines, And the land should flow with honey, and with milk, and corn aud wines." A lid to Othniel should be Wen tho green pastuies of the South, " itli tho wells of living water f.u the thirsty cattlo's mouth ; i:i:t I'd keep my father's sheep, till the corn was in the shocks, And I should go forth at evening to draw water for the flocks : , And one eve as I stood watching, there against the setting sun, I should surely see hira coming; all the ! waiting would be done ; , Then the South would stretch before us, I while the soft skies bent above, And like Jacob's love for Rachel, eo for tne would be his love. But the time is done for dreaming I Host of Judah, can it be of the mighty men of valor there are mightier than he Like the young tree in the springtime, so his youthful beauty is; There might well be fiercer swords, and a stonger arm than his. But I thought of Judah's glory, and I summoned all my will; When our women fail in courage shall our men be fearless still ' Aud I lifted steadfast glance?, and my lips pressed back the moan, 'Co," I said, "and God be with you," then I sought the teuts alone. "Hope of Israel, God of battles," cried I prostrate from the ground, ''Let no other arm be stronger, let no sword be border found ;" Then I turned unto the doorway, where the distant mountain rose, I could hear the people shouting, as they closed iu with their foes. "Go," I said to one who waited; ' bring me tidings from the fight:" Then ouce more my voice 1 lifted, and I prayed, "Bj Thou his might." "Give him strength for all his weakness, when he falters be Thou near; Strike Thou when his arm is failing; let them fall beneath his spear." ' Then the messenger came flying, "As the neius or waving grain; As the grasses swaj together when the wind sweeps o'er the plain; So their forces moet and mingle, so foe interlecks with foe; Which are flying, which pursuing, how the day goes, none may know.'' "Go once moro towards the mountain, bring me later tidings yet.'' And he came with swift returning. "As tbe Hoods meet they have met; But the Cauaauites are fleeting, and the men of Judah shout." "Go once more," I said, "and tell me by whose hand they are thrust out." Then I waited, down the heavens slowly passed the setting suu, Slow as when it stayed aud moved not, on that day at Ajalon; Slow as it ne'r seemed to any, save unto the watchful eje, And my spirit died within me ere it sank behind the sky. Then the messeDger came swiftly, hast ening from the battlefield, "Who," I cried, "drove back the heathen to what captain did they yield ?" "Lo, he comes," he said, and straight way from the held the victor came; And the people came before him, and they shouted Othniel s uame. Then I bowed my head iu silence, and my heart went out in praise, For the goodness of Jehovah, for the wonder of his ways; For the lonely watcher s prayers nerv the arm that drives the sword; And tho strong go forth to battle, but th victory s with the .Lord.

This August nOmber should be seen by everybody, if for this feature alone : but it contains other features equally interesting, not the least of which is an account of "The Oberammergau Fassion- Play," which is illustrated not only with a picture of the Bavarian vif lage where the play is now being enacted, but also with many a tab leaux shown in this historical per formance. There is also a complete novelette by -Queen Elizabeth of Roumania ("Carmen Sylva"), pre ceded "by her portrait and fine illustrations of her summer castle and her boudoir. The other articles and stories are all of the highest order, and beautifully illustrated, forming a Midsummer JSumDer oi rare merit, which is enhanced by a seashore water color frontispiece of artistic value.

Xot merely because the discoveries of science are many, but because they arc always true, for truth is the very enseuce of science We have learned that the heat, of the suu is duo partly to tho process of contraction it is under going and pat tly to its being fed by wandering meteoric bodies drawn into it.

At times ihercisMieh a collocation of the Unets as to pull the earth front the mn, aud so to increase the ellipticity of its orbit. The indefatigable calcu lator. Mr. Croll, has shown that 50,000 years ago the earth's orbit was more circular than it is now that the earth's average position was nearer the sun and that the ellipticity is becoming greater, and that, therefore, our average dis tance from the miu is increasing. This is why the weather is no longer oppressively warm. With the mercury at 9S degrees in the shade, with persons and horses falling from euu stroke, with people panting aud hanging out their tongues and pouring ice water down their husky throats, there is no more agreeable occupation lor the thoughtful mind than to pursue the discoveries or the conclusions of science.

When one marks the long lists ot recent graduates from our principal colleges lists in most cases twice as long as they were thirty years ago one wonders at first sight where such a multitude of highly educated young men will go. Where are they to find places suited to their training and attain ments? One can imagine some of them asking despondently with Tennyson: What is tint which I bhould turn to, lighten upon days, like these? Every door is barred with gold, and opens but to golden keye?" Yet, if we look closely at the matter, we shall see reasons for believing that the supply of educated men is not in excess of the demand. In the first place, we must remember that the population of this country is twice aa largo as it was in 18G0, which means that the field of opportunity has expanded in pro portion to the number of graduates. In the second place, a marked change has come over the post graduate intentions of college students, and consequently over the nature of the btndies compre hended in a university court e. At the beginning of this century, a majority of the men graduated from our Eastern colleges entered the ministry. Thirty years ago, by far the greater number con templated the practice of the law or of medicine. Now a large and steadily increasing fraction of graduates apply themselves to the innumerable forms of business or industrial activity which have sprung into existence under the joint stimulus of capital and science. This signal alteration iu the objects which graduates have in view has had the effect of broaden ing aDd reorganizing the universi ty curriculum. Not only is it no longer the sole function of colleges to turn out clergymen, but it has even ceased to be their exclusive purpose to qualify young men for the learned professions generally. They now seek to impart such a training and equipment as will fit the faithful student ior any walk of life, in which a disciplined and well-stored intellect and the inval uable habit of concentration are the factors ol success. Such being the aims and the methods of contemporary colleges, we do not think the annual number of their graduates is out of proportion to the needs and opportunities of our fast-growing country. Ex. Genius Should Be Recognized. It ia ungenerous to withhold an expression of sympathy for those who have failed in the accomplish ment of great undertakings, in which they have embarked all their pecuniary, physical and intellect ual resources. As a general rule, people are hardly considerate enough toward the unsuccessful. There is too great a disposition to forget their pluck and perseverance aDd sneer at their trustfalnese. We ought to bear in mind that it is this sublime audacity of faith to which we are indebted lor the marvelous achievements of our age. The Good Old Times. Man has progressed steadily since the middle ages, and the gins have been immense, but we cannot look back upon the good old times of minstrels and troubadars without sigh of regrat. No doubt the discomforts, physical and spiritual, were enormous. There were pesti- ences, famine and dirt, but over all is thrown a charm as we listen to the silken rustling of lair ladies' robes the twanging of troubadours, lutes and the merry laugh of light- hearted men and women. It is the old" story. The present may be happy; there maybe glorious hope for the future but the past is al ways the golden age. Rc-Onenin? a Thoroughfare.
