It is useless to ask if the Legis lature will not do something much needed in behalf of sheep-raising and wool producing. A Legislature 'as now constituted is not equal to such a demand. It lacks "sand in its craw." It has not grit enough to withstand the bowlings, not of the dogs that kill, but of the foolish owners who keep them. In Ten nessee, in spite of excellent pastur age, climate, etc., the sheep busi nesa fails, and all because of the destroying dogs. It is a disgrace to aay civilisation and is on a par y with bad roada aad poor schools. STONEWALL jCORRESPOXPFNCE. Mr. Juo. A. Lupton died at his1 home in Bayboro on the'h iust.

Mrs. Kit Lapton who was so severely burned some time since is gradually improving, bo 1 learned yesterday. The fishermen are beginning to catch trout tolerably plentifully and if the cold weather continues much longer they will be quite abuudant. There has nor been much farm work done as yet. wASHIXKTOy TOPICS. Special Correspondence A great deal ot nonsense is get ting into the newspapers jUit at this time about Mr. Cleveland's relation to the Democratic party, and especially in regard to his sup posed prospective position toward the party after his inauguration. Some wiseacres are prophesying that Mr. Clevelaud will attempt to appoint himself "dictator" of his party and that he will "role or ruin" i'i all matters pertaining to party policies and measures. It is difficult to understand on what basis these opinions exist, Nothing in the President-elect's methods during his first term justify them, and the manner in which be bore himself throughout the late cam paign give tbem emphatic denial. Th- ouly pos Die reason which eau rr giveu lor sach statements is the fact that Mr. Cleveland exptess ed a preference as to the man to be selected for the important position of United States Senator from the State of NewYork. This he bad an undoubted right to do. Aside from the fact that New York is Mr. Cleveland's own State, it is perfect ly uatnral and proper that be should desire a man in the Senate from the State who will be recog nized as his loyal friend personally as well as politically. Senator Hill can not be said to occupy that position, as it is Becret that he and Mr. Cleveland are not on cordial terms and have not been for several years. Mr. Hill can not, therefore, be looked ripon in any event as the confidental friend and spokesman of Mr. Cleveland, and it is doing the Senator no injustice to say that he would probably have no desire to appear in that atti tude. Under these circumscanoes it does not appear improper that Mr. Cleveland should have exprensed a preference that the Senator elected by the New York legislature shoold ic a man npou whom he could de pend to advocate policies to which the President-elect is pledged and )o formulate me;-u r-s which the party has promiseit the people as a relief from the burdens of taxation to which Republican policies hAve subjected them. Further than this he does not seem to have offended. Mr. Cleveland's career during hia first Presidential term and since bM temporary retirement has marked him as thoroughly patriotic and devoted to the interests of the whole people. There is, moreover, no t;ood ieaou for believing that the President-elect will tie uotclnd of the counsel aud advice of the ex perienced leaders of his party or that he will iu any degree ignore the importance of continued Demo cratic supremacy in his conduct of the Government. Care of the Eyes. Never sleep opposite a window which will throw a flood of strong light on your eyes when you wake in the morning. In all institutions, particularly for children, where the eyes are required to do close work: the proportion of the square surface of the windows to the square surface of the floor should never fall below one to four. The short-sighted eye is . essen tially a diseased eve. and should be treated as such. It affects by reference those who use their eyes constantly for tine or neat work, and is almost unknown among the uncivilized nations. When children wort by light which falls in their faces they are apt to bend the body forward so as to shade the eyes by the head, or else twist it around so that the light shall fall on the page. Both of these positions are pernicious There is great danger of the chest becoming narrow and contracted and of the spine becoming curved, To bathe the eyes properly, take a laige basin of cold water, bend the head close over it, and with both hands throw the water with some force on the gently closed lids. This has something of the same effect as a shower-bath, and has a toning-up influence which water applied in any other way has not.

A section of the department ofjan Fine Arts at the World's Ci I u as -bian Exposition to be held bt Chi cago from May to November, 1S93, will contain a retrospective extntm of the paintings of deceased Ameri can Artists. JThis exhibit is def-inn-ed ro show the progress and devt I opement of the art of this counrr from Colonial times, down to 16, b. While such an exhibit must neces sarily have a decided historical bearing, it is intended to make choice of such examples as will best show the artistic develop ment of the painters. Therefore, selections will be made with refer ence to the artistic merit of the pictures rather than to the subject or historical significance; but works in which both elements combine, will receive preference. The possibility and success of this Betroepective section, mnst depend wholly upon the patriotism and generosity of the people of the entire country and it is hoped that they will appreciate the importance of such an exhibition, and that those citizens who are in posession of paintings by any of the renown ed artists of America, will be ready to place them at the disposi tion of this Committee for the pur pose named. As the space allotted in this sec tion is very limited, it may not be possible to exhibit more than a sin gle example of the work of each artists, excepting in a few special instances when the artist has two or more well defined periods; and preference will be given to a canvas of medium size over a very large one. Miniatures will be exhibited in seenrely locked cases. The Art Building in which the exhibition will be held is practic ally fire-proof. In addition to this, pictures that are accepted will be insured from the time they leave the custody of the owner nntil tbey are returned. Owners of pictures who will loan them for the Retro spective Exhibition will be at no expense, as all charges for hand ling, boxing, transportation and Insurance will be paid by the Expo sition authorities. Persona having piotures they are willing to loan for the Eetrospec- tive Exhibition will fill out blanks that will be furnished in duplicate, nserting the works of one artist only in each blank and foward one of tbeee blanks to Halsey C. lve, Chief of the Department of Fine Arts, Chicago, III., and the dupli cate to Charles Henry Hart. Chan - man of the Committee on Retros pective Art, 536 Drexel Building, Philadelphia. Upon receipt of the blank by the Chairman, he will im mediately notify applicants what disposition will be made of their application. Additional blanks will be furnished upon applymg to the Chairman. Owners of all accepted pictures toi the Betroepective Exhibition will receive a card of admission en titling the holder to the privilege of the Exposition grounds when open to the public. .Pictures for this exhibit mast te fowarded by express to Chicago not later than April 10, 1893. As there are but four months within which to do all the work incident to forming the collection, imme diate response is requested to this application. Charles Henry Hart, Chairman, 536 Drexel Building, Philadelphia. Pruning the Peach. The peach tree, as a rule, receives less pruning thtan any other fruit tree, while It needs more. As is well known, it produces Its crop on the wood of the previous year's growth: and as the terminal bads are most inclined to push, the height increases year by year, until in time the tree has but a few long branches stretching away up, or out, with leaves and fruit, at the lop only. Instead oi this, the tree, by correct pruning, can be kept in good form, rather low and round- headed, or spreading, all the limbs fairly within reach, with the fruit evenly distributed and easy to gather. The pruning, which should be l done annually in spring consists in cutting back the previous season's shoots, removing one-third to one-- half In length: and in addition to this, after the second or third year, cutting out about one.tenth of these shoots ai they become too numerous. Three things are to be gained by this: 1. Keeping the top of the tree in proper shape. 2. Maintaining a regular supply of bearing wood. 3. Eeducing the crop of fruit, and thus saving the tree from the bad effects ef over-bearing, and adding to the size and quality of the fruit allowed to remain. The time for the work, as stated above, is in the spring, any time before the trees are in full l&af, but a moderate pruning, even when the leaves are fully developed, is better than not to prune at all.

Mr. Hill Humphrey means to treat .loyally, those who trade with him during Fair wtek by giving away presents to the value of $10rj or more. He expects to give away ten ot the presents and they ara to average l.ot lesa than $10 each. Among the number will be a road cart, a set of harness, a fine trunk, a sewing machine and a suit of clothes. The other present huvc not yet beer, decided upon. Tue man who trades- the greatest amount with "Diu' Ike" that, week willget his first choir,' of the entire number, the one who trades the next largest the second choice and so on until the number is exhausted. A friend who heard Mr. Humphrey call over the articles above enumerated told him that those alone were worth over a hundred dollars. "They would be to most people'' was Mr. Humphrey's reply'' but I buy men out at 30 cents on the dollar and count accordingly." Mr. Humphrey has in previous years acted very generously during Fair week to his customers but this year he will sur pass himself. TheMonjohn Killing. Coroner Primrose and a jury, consisting ci T. A. Henry, J. J. Baxter, E. D- Ban get, Ferdinand Hahn, J. D. Barrield col., and Geo. Mitchell col., held au inquest Wednesday over the corpse of James Ifonjohn col. After an autopsy had been held bv order ot the jury, and they had J carefully investigated the oase, they ren i dered verdict that said Monjohn died from injuries on hi3 head by a billiard j cue in the hands of John H. Thomas, J duiing a quarrel in the bar room of J. j W. Harrell, Jau. 3d 1893. The postmortem examination, showed an internal fracture of the tkull on the right tide whore the blow was delivered and that what is known to the medical profession as a ontre-coupa or injury on the opposite side of the head, had result ed. A lari;e clot of blood had formed on the left s de which pressed on the brain, and produced the paralysis, from which the deceased died. Thomas surrendered himself to the of ficers of the law and will have a prelimi Stry trial before W. G. Brinson Esq. this morning. The Cold Weather.

AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT IN AMERICA IN SOME LINES THE GREATEST INTHE WORLD. An Tet There are Still Millions of Dol lars of Ocean Wealth Unotilizid. Over ten thousand tbotjt an as tonishingly LARGE CATCH OF FISH AT one HACi, Capt. Ben Barker, of South Creek was up to New Berne, Dec. 10th, with between 10,000 and 12,000 speckled or salmon trout. They were all caught in JNeuse river below the city at one sin gle haul. This is the largest number taken at one haul of which there is anv record around here, They averaged wel- rn size also. While many ot them weigh ed but tnree or tour pounds, wmcn is a good sized fish, we are informed that others would weigh nearly twelve pounds. Capt. Barker sold 6,100 about half the catch to fish dealers of this city and shipped the remainder himself. Those he disposed of here, sold for four and five cents apiece and brought him just $26. Messrs. Watson and Daniels, Carmine and Wadsworth, B. B. Lane and Fernie Gaskill were the purchasers. At the same rate this would run the value of the entire lot to over $500, but of course the probability is that having shipped them the returns will be well beyond those fig-ures- Capt. Barker had two boats and three crews with him, but they would not near hold the fish. It took four sail boats to bring them tc the city. As we said this is the best catch at one haul known in the New Berne waters,and it is "good enough." Show us another regular business requiring such a small amount of capital if you can at which a man can pick up $500 or get several thousand pounds of meat with only a lit tle effort and almost without cost. New Berne Journal. The Rocky Mount Argonaut copies the above item from the New Berne Journal and then adds: The above article, taken from the New Berne Journal, will give our readers some idea of the immense mine of wealth contained in the North Carolina waters, and which Las beea heretofore greatly neglected. In fact, our facilities tor trans portation have been such, until within the last few years, that it was impossible to utilize our greatfishing wealth. But now the railroad and steamboat lines are rapidly bringing our fisheries into close touch with the great markets of the world Our progress in this industry has been very great for the last few years, but as yet .it is still in its infancy, although even now the ship ments offish from the North Caro lina coast are of much greater extent than is generally supposed. For instance, on the 28th day of November one hundred thousand pounds of fish was shipped from Morehead in one single shipment; and in the month of October the A. & N. C. R. R. handled the largest amount of fresh fish ever before shipped over that road in one month. Our shad fisheries are among, if not the most important, in America. The" mullet fisheries are probably the largest and most profitable in the world, a quarter of a million of these fish have been often taken in at one haul of the seine. Our waters also abound in other food fish, such as herring, bass, trout, sturgeon. sheepshead, drum, croakers, rock-fish, flounders etc. Our herring fisheries stand first upon the list, while our Men- hadden fisheries are a source ot immense profit. Our ocean fisheries remain almost en tirely unutilized, although the great shelf of the Atlantic wbich extends Southward from tne Banks along our coast literally swarm with the finest of good fishes. Our oysters have a reputation wherevei they are known unexcelled by any in the world, and our oyster grounds can be made to produce millions of dollars an nually. With the proper appliances, better facilities for transportation, and canneries to utilize the fish that could not be shipped in a fresh state, the fishing m- terestsjot North Carolina can undoubtedly be made one of the most important in the world. This State has many great and important resources, and they must be all thoroughly developed, for when they are the Old North State will lead the world. Immensity of the Fish Business. The results attained indicates improve ment year by year In the fishing industry in our waters. The Morehead City"News tells that the largest catch of fish ever made in those waters was made last Sat- day by Messrs. Aleck Lewis, Charles Willis and Rowland Phillips. At a sin gle drop of their nets they caught 10,000 pounds ot fish. Just think ot securing fifty barrels of as delicious meat as grows by simply dropping a net overboard and pulling it out of the water. The News also tells of a fine ship ment of fish from Morehead the following Monday morning: Three cars went off well loaded with the finny thousands. J. M. Arthur &Co. sent off 8,000 pounds; W. L. Arendell, 9,000 ; Watson, Daniels & Bell, 21,000 ; Ed. Taylor & Co., 4,000 ; Willis Brothers about 6,000; Hancock & Co., 1,500; J. W. Willis, 4,000; G. N. Ives about 5,000; C. W. Willis 6,000; Eugene Arthur several thousand, and some large shipments from others. There was nlso fifteen or eighteen thousand pounds shipped by Beaufort sellers. To give a faint idea of what a grand source of food supply the fishing Indus try is, we call attention to the fact that this shipment of fish was sufficient in quantity (allowing one pound of fish to each individual) to have furnished a meal to the entire combined population of Wil mington, Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston A Seville New Berne. Goldsboro and Durham ! All visitors to the New Berne Fair which begins Monday, February 20th will be able to view in orderly arrangement fine specimens of the various kinds offish that abound in East Carolina waters . to gether with with a full display of every kind of apparatus used in taking them Besides the native fish,taxidennized spec imens of foreign varieties will also be shown. No better opportunity for in vestigating the industry can be found. Whether your object is pleasure or to se cure valuable information, it will pay you to examine the fish department of the Fair carefully and thoroughly. Mr. E. L. Sutton tells the Kinston Free Press he killed two hogs recently weighing respectively 366 and 486 pounds. They were good sise porkers. The store of T. W. Clark, a good aud industrious colored man, at Pantego was burned Monday night about half past ten o'clock. He carried a stock worth some seven or eight hundred dollars and he had no insurance. Ths fact that shavings wave ftnatl by the store saturated with karesans ineasates that the fire was of in cendiary origin. Sugar Beets and Beet Sugar. We have several times shown the possi bilities of sugar beet culture and beet sugar manufacturing in New Berne and vicinity. This morning we give a short article from the Elizabeth City Econo mist on the same subject: ''The subject of making sugar from ths sugar beet has long been upon the public mind and the industry has grown from small beginnings to be one of the moat important industries in ' the civilized world. Germany leads in the manufac ture of sugaj from beets, and we believe the quantity ot sugar now made there Crum the sacchanne of the beet is g raa tar tatem that manufactured from the sagar sane syrup. - "Recently a factory for the nnnfaotture of sugar from beets, has been started In Staunton, Va., which will be the pioneer of beet sugar manufacture in the South. At present there are only five or six fac tories lor making sugar from beeta, in the United States but in Europe they are numerous and increasing." "The yield of sugar beets, to the Sore ' average about fourteen tona, sometimes twenty -two tons are obtained. At the factory they sell for an average of $4.50 a ton, which, at an average yield of fif teen ton to the acre, would make the gross value of the crop $67.50 per sen, and putting the cultivation and other incidental expanses of the crop at $30 per acre, would leave a net profit of $37.60 per acre. Let some of our enter prising monied men I )ok into the sub ject and invest in a beet sugar factory and our farmers might profitable diversi fy their crops by raising sugar beete." If a double daily mail is impractlceable , one of our prominent citizens suggests the advisability of trying a daily freight train furnishing also passenger and mail facili ties, to run just opposite in time to that of the regular mail and passenger train schedule. We have long been extremely anxious for a double service believing that it would result in great good, not ' only to New Bejne but all along the line. r HE ST1GB AND THB PULPIT Rev. F. M.
