ProleHSor Garner has already matttered Ii00 words of the monkey language, and he thinks that there are not more than twenty more. Mr Jernigan, late of the State Chronicle is applying for the Japan consulate. Send bim over, Mr. Cleveland. The trouble with the Senate com mittee clerkships is that there aren't quite enough Senator's sons to go around. A German speculator in Paris has just realized a million aod a half on a deal in coffee. lie certain ly has grounds for rejoicing. Atlanta has now a Polyclinic, which means toxtend the medical ed taation of graduates of medicaj college, giving them a poet-gradu ate coarse. Under Mr. Cleveland's wise rnl ing both the "regular" and the "irregular" demc crate of Texas will have a place at the lunch counter. This means harmony. Prof. Dolbear says there is noth ing in the nature of things to pre vent our exchanging signalx with the other planets. True, professor, hat how a boat anderstanping the st glials after they are madT A lighted pathway across the At liinticistba talk. Jt is thought to be possible. It is proposed to pat tea poworfal lights, 200 miles apart, and eonnect them by electric ca bles. President Cleveland seems to have an idea that when the office feks the man it should do so at a very leisurely pace. He is also op. poed to having too many o Aloes on the seeking road atone time. The Southern States produce more than three-fourths of the cot ton required to keep at work the 85,000 (MM) spindles in existence in Europe and the United States. The steamer King James, from England .for San Francisco with coal, was burned 250 miles from San Francisco. The mate and fif teen men reach Point Conception. The captain and fifteen others in another boat have not been beard from. It is a royal custom in Europe that male members of royal families must embrace and Kiss each other when they meet. The custom of the males kissing the fe males, which is general in thi- c mntry, is a more pleasing one, although it sometimes results in trouble. Official are to jbe removed for offenaive partisanship. What ir ofl'ennive partisanship T A Repub lican administration coiisiilerH all Democratic office lioldiug as of fensive partisanship. What i sanee for the goose is sauce lor t lie gander by Uokey. The suicide of a Otorgia por. master tli other day indicates a way in which lour-) ear terms may bn nburteueil and vacancies crea ted. The o ilv difficulty lies in jr ! snading other postmasters to folio the Georgian's example. j A G'- rt.''a paper announces hat "an Atlanta man, just disch.irgeJ from ft Kevley institute cured ol I the drink h tbtt, got drunk and shot himself to death last Saturday. A Western man celebrated his cure and return irom another institute the other day by getting drunk and killing his wife." And yet there is no doubt that Keeley does much good. We learn from the Richmond Dispatch that there are eight Lieu tenant Generals of the Confederacy still living. They are Stephen D Lee, Starkville, Mies. ; James Long street, Gainesville, Oa. ; Jobal A, Early, Lynchburg, Va. ; Simon B. Buckner, Frankfort, Ky. ; Joseph Wheeler, Wheeler, Ala.; Ambrose P. Stewart, Oxford, Miss. ; Wade Bampton, Columbia, 8. 0. ; John B. Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. ITHK KVS AMI OIJSKItVEK , says "The News and Observer Co. has leased the Chronicle ue wi..per and will in addition to the N s ami Observer hereafter piiUisU t he Daily and VYcekl) Chruim-le The urtice ol (lie -lint i. !. ill m future le in I lie Ni'hm ami Otisei v ei ImililniK The re tiling matter will l.t the same lit tsilli papers, an.

All ot hers will receive the Chronicle as usual." The causes winch led to this arrangeuieli t have not, been made public, but we conclude thar, it lias been demonstrated that Ualeigh oannot support two leading daily news, apers. Pew people realize the expense of conducting a daily paper, and many persons attribute to editorial mismanagement cod ditions which result fiom causes over which the editor has no con trol. Whatever has brought about the present situation, the Journal trusts that it will result to the benefit of all parties concerned. It is conjectured, by some, that Mr. Jernigan has received or is about to receive, a federal appoint ment union will remove bim from the field of journalism, but ot this we know nothing. It is generally kBown that Mr. Daniels, late editor of the Carolinian, has secured aj place in the Interior Department at Washington, and perhaps Mr. Jernigan is no less fortunate. It is matter of sincere gratifica tion that, amid all these changes, the staunch News and Observer remains in the field with gallant Captain Ashe at its bead. HKW TO THE LINE. Stand up for your principles. In matters of religion conform to the creed of your church and, so lar as is practicable and right, do what the world considers is implied in your profession. II you are a Methodist attend class meeting and be happy at love feasts. It yon are a Presbyterian, maintain the doctrine of Election and the final perseverance of the Saints. If you are an Episcopalian, honor episco pacy and illustrate your belief that Christians are entitled to the good things ot this world. If you are a Catholic, reverence the Pope as the vice gerent of God. If you are a Disciple follow the injunction of your Lord, "Learn ot me." If you are a Baptist, insist upon one Lord) one Faith and, one Baptism. Take to the water and drink nothing stronger. In a word, stick to your principles and Im neither ashamed nor afraid to own and defend them. Follow the same rule in politics, llew to the Line. The Democratic party is com mitted to reform in all departments of the Govern 'nent. Some there are who say that Mr. Cleveland is to work these reforms, but it should be rempmbered that the President oannot do the work alone. Indeed about all the President can do is to "turn the rascals out'' and put good men in, and this he is doing to the music of Hail Columbia. The party cannot be held re sponsible until it is in full posses sion of the Government. When Congress meets, with a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House, there must be no evasion, no shirk ing of responsibility. "Hew to the Line" is the demand of the people, and they expect im mediate and explict obedience. "Hew to the Line," must be writteu upon the door-post ot every place of business. The merchant must have correct measures and well adj anted weights. His goods mnst. be as represented, and sold at fair prices. He must "Hew to the Line." The contractor anil builder can not aff ird to cleighr. his work. His material and woi kmauship must be according to contract. "He must Hew to I he Line." None are exempt Ironi the nn exorablei ilfcroe. Personal conduct, uiunt be brought to the line.

VOC d with u u i est l acted purity il the people are to 1)6 contented happy, all must "Hew to the Line." There are over $3,000,000 bache lors in the United States over thir ty years old. Iu tbe West the men greatly exceed the women. In New England the rule is the other way. The women in the East should "go West." was much It looks as if there "scroaging" and pnshing and crowding aop squeezing in store for the "Windy City" and Its big fair considering the fact that, al though the Exposition is not yet opened, tbe gate receipts already amount to nearly a quarter or a ; has nothing further to commjni million dollars. j cate, the body will adjourn. I'R 'F A1 KX AMIKU. The President has appointed Prof lben Alexander, ot the Uni versity of North Carolina, Minister to Greece, Seivia and Koumanip. He is said to be one ol the best Greek scholars of the day, aud en dorsed for the position by Tennes see, (ieori;ia and North Carolina. ! Senatoi R insom says: ''The l'i esident has recognized the high Mdnl iri-hlp st the Uni verMty ot North Carolina. For a place iqiiir inu culture and Hpechtl abilities he has pvsMeil over mere politicians, .tin! Hr-n' fo the land ot the noblest aiicniii civ hi vt ion as I uited Stales .Minister, a gentleman most adiiur.ibly tilted by scholarship mid moci tl poHiliou to adoiii the place and cant lustre on our country.'' The mission to Greece is an hon orary position and it is eminently pioper thai it be filled by a scholar: and a gentleman. There are no j business relations existing between Greece aud the LTuited States, and there is no danger of any diploma tic aontroversy arising between the two countries. We have no personal acquaint ance with Prof. Alexander, bat .ve are gratified that North Carolina is honored iu the person of her (lis tinguished son. We suppose that the Professor is a Democrat, but bis appointment is not political. But, the question arises, is there to be no recognition ot party services! Is there no scholar in North Caro lina who was active in the last campaign T Are all those who la bored to secure Democratic ascen dency and the election of Cleve land and Stevenson unlearned men T Are they all ignoramouses! Not by any means. But, ours is a representative Government. Not one-tenth of the population of this country are active politicians. While those who bore the labor and burden of an active campaign are entitled to recognition, the great mass of the people oannot be ig nored, aud the President has shown his good seuce in appointing a scholar Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to Clas sic Greece. This is the first Mission given by the present Administration to a North Carolinian, but perhaps it is not to be the only one. Madam Ham or associates the name of Edi tor Hale with the Mission to Turkey. We have no doubt that the President will deal justly with North Carolina, albeit there may be some sinners tor whom no ran som can be found. THE SENATE. It is reported from Washington that the Senate is about to adjourn. We were asked yesterday and not by a countryman either, "what has been done with the tariff V Nothing has been done with the tariff. It is usual for the Senate to be called to meet on the day a Pres ident is inaugurated for the par pose of considering auy communi cation the President may be pleased to make. These communications arc, for the most part, nominations :o such official positions as must be continued by the Senate. The President has the the appointing power, but for the higher official positions the appointments must be confirmed by the Senate. The only other business that can properly eome before the Senate, at the present session relates to the body itself. Each branch of the Congress has a right to jadge of the qualifications of its members and determine who are entitled to seats iu their respective halls. Neither body can be properly or ganized until its membership is de termined. Several Senators are holding seats in the Chamber whose right to membership is denied. These ere appointed U- S. Senators by the Governors of their respective States. It is contended, and we think propei ly, that a Governor cannot create or originate a Sena tor. Senators aie elected by the LBgil i'ures of the Stares t hey rep resent. VYhcu a Senator has beeu elected by the Legislature, and bis neat becomes vacant, it is the duty ol the Governor ot the State to nil the vaciney b the appointment ol a Senator lor the unexpired term. A uum ber of Legislatures of New States tailed to elect Senators, and r ho Governors of those States ap pointed Senators who are now in meir seais in . ne i,Mwui ai, unsu 1,1 K1""- linn the controversy as ! to t he i ignts ol thor-e Senators, if the Sell ite l-i ab on: to adjourn, it in probable that the ni;it.ter goes ' over to tue regular session. Another question of difficulty refers to the election of the officers of the Senate. It was proposed by the Democrats to go into this elec tion at this session. They nomi nated their candidates naming Oeneral Cox for Secretary of the Senate, but the movement was re- I sisted by the Republicans as con j trary to precedent and unjust to officials wno am not expect tne change, and are unprepared for it. So this matter also goes over to the regular session. It seems that there is nothing for the Senate to do but await the pleasure of the President.

We had the pleasure of lieinu 1 ' 1 1 1 1 i ill at tlie-e exeicisrs yesterday and Weie particular! v strilcW with the read ' ing by little pupils ot the primary de partment -reproduction in their own language ol a simple story which their teacher, Mrs. A. B. Ferrebee, had read to them tor the purpose. It was an exercise similar to those we recently spoke of as participated in by the litemry Hassc of tlie school. Children from seven to eleven years old re-wrote the story with surprising accuracy and remarkably well chosen words and well constructed sentence- lor those of such a youthful age. The papers themselves were executed plainly and with more neatness than is olleii found many a time among advanced st udciits. Hut their clliciency comes from prac tice. The exercises is one in which Mrs. Ferrebce drills them regularly several times a week and the papers read were those produced in the regular morning exercises without any idea that they would lie called for to be read before the w hole school. It would pay our people especially those w ho have children of school age to drop in occasionally and see what fine work the school is doing. Prof. Adams w ill gladly w elcome any of tneni and the letter informed our people become ol the workings of the institution the prouder Jicv w ill le ol it. Speak Well of Your Town. That is w hat the editor of the Durham Sun says and he speaks correctly: "The town is what the people make it. Halt a dozen chronic grumblers can undermine the w alls of any town unless their influ ence is counteracted by the opposite course ol better citizens. Whoop up your town. If it is worth less in your estimation, leave it, and it w ill Ik: made better by your absence. He who sees evil in everything reveals his own nature. The noble and the gener ous find out the good and extol it, v liile the base and tint ignoble revel in the cor ruptions of which they arc an integral part. When you hear a man say of every en terprise, "Nothing good will come of it," set it down there is no good in liim. "Fulsome praise is disgusting. It does no good, hut rather injury, to parade imaginary excellences or to bolster up visionary enterprise, but it is the duty of every citizen to encourage the meritori ous; and with genuine levotion put his houlder to the wheel and press forward every goo 1 work." SVe are to have in New Berne soon a large numlier of newspaper men from every sectiou ot good old North Carolina, and it will be an opportunity that our citizens should utilize and take every advantage of. The members of the Press are gentle men of charac ter, and are thoroughly identified with the interests of all por tions of the State. They are above any thing that could be termed sejrlshuess. Their meetings are not only in the inter est of their profession, hut to learn of the interests and resources of every section in the State and it is this point that the Journal is desirous of seemg brought out. A splendid showing can be made if properly taken hold of. The rapid development of o'ur trucking lauds. Our immense fishing interests here and at More-head and Beaufort, also our lumbering trad is worthy of note. All these facts should be given where so good an opportunity presents itself. We should not lie too modest in extolling these facis where they can be so amply justified. It is not American to stand in the back ground. You have only to spend a few days in Winston, Durham, Asheville or Charlotte to find these peo ple have no hesitancy in proclaiming their advantages. They have no word for their city except in its praise, and the average gentleman of either of these places w ants only a very few minutes to prove to you that it is his city that stands tirst in enterprise and that it is there that you should look to for the greatest future p-o-perity. We think no less of these gentleman iii their bolstering up their own homes. Iu fact the man who would speak otherwise of his home, is a poor shoat in our estimation and can generally be put down as a drag to a-iy commu n i t y . The meeting of the Presi Association with us means a great deal aud it can lie made of incalculable benefit if we only do our part treat them cleverly, show them and tell them what we have NOW,and are going to do in the future, ami not deal too much with the past. Water-Works Reguu. The construction of the water works system has begun. The excuvnt ion for the foundation of the stand pipe (which will In- of steelj was started last week. The site as we have stated lefore is at the edge of the city on the west side of end strict towards Pembroke road beiug five acres purchased from Mr. J. L. Rliem for the purpose at $500 per acre. The same company lias the work in charge that built the sewerage system and they intend to shove this work just as they did the former and to furnish a plentiful supply of pure water at an early date. Material for the work is ar riving and we are glad to see the long felt desire for this so much needed im provement and convenience so near realization. I Mr. Chas. WT. Itolierts, who has had about five years experience in the dry goods busines, has taken a position in the ! dry goods department of Messrs. Hack i burn & Willett's store. AWFI'L ACCIDENT. A Collision on the Raleigh Fair UronnuV Switch-Back Terribly In jures Young1 Lady Pupils of St. Marys' School. Pupils of St. Mary's, Raleigh, Un loading Episcopalian school of the State met with an awful accident Tuesday, which resulted in severe injuries to eight of them, and probably fatal injury of two. j I he disaster w as caused by a collision ' on the Fairgrounds railway. Mi-s lies- j sie Patterson of New Heme Was one of the injured, but she foi t uiiately escaped with nothing Worse than bad bruises and I a sprained ankle no bone- were broken but she wu- rendered h jt. I, inpiries. ,, ! 1 lie II t oft he iniu rei I i- Mi-s Mabel Ureen, daughter of Whailon .1. Ureen, of Faycttevillt Col. one . leg broken, the other badly injured, pos sibly fractured She is said also to have her collar bone broken. Little Florence Bo Ian, daughter of James Boylan, of Ualeigh, had her face I crushed in above the nose ami body in jured; she sustained the most serious in. jury of any of the victims. Miss Adele Martiniere, of Columbus, Oa., severely bruised and cut but no bones broken. Miss Bessie Patterson of N ew Berne. Slightly hnrt ankle severely sprained. Miss Sadie Johnson of Asheville, w rist sprained ami cut. Miss Addie Snow, daughter of Geo. II. Snow, ot Raleigh, bruised and cut, and it is feared internally injured. Miss Annie Root, of Raleigh, leg brok en and face bruised. Misses Mary and Helen Smedes, twin daughters ol Rev. Dr. Bennet Smedes, were lxith severely injured. Miss Mary was cut and bruised anil Miss Helen had her thigh crushed and leg broken. At ths last accounts Miss Boylan was very low and the possibilties of her sur vival very doubtful. One of Mr. Smedes daughters has beeu uncouscious ever since the accident and is thought to have concussion of the brain. The school was taking a holiday and Rev. Alfred Smedes, rector of the school, some of the teachers and ftbout fifty of the young ladies were at the Fair ground, their principal amusement being the switch back. The switchback eonsssts of two eleva ted parallel undulated tracks, construc ted so that a car started at one end will run down a grade over a c urve and drwn the other side gathering momentum by its gravity half of the length of the track us it proceeds unci then diminishing the speed, till the end of the track opposite the starting point is reached. The two extremities are of the same height. The cars, through a portion of the trip go with startling velocity. Ther are two of them and one is meant tj run on one track while the other is on the track along side they are never meant to be at the same time on the same side. One of the ears w as beginning its journey from one end of the switchback when the other was tuined loose. The last car instead of taking its proper course jumped the Hw itch, for some iu plicable cause and tore downward towards the other car, meeting at the low est aud swiftest point, when each of the two were going at the rate of a railroad train. The result was terrific. The cars were telescoped aud wrecked, seats were torn off, the wood work twisted and thrown all around, the iron bent aud the fronts of the cars locked together. The little girls and youug ladies were hurled out upon the iron tracks and upon the ground where they lay in helpless agony, cruelly cut and mangled by the splintered wreckage of the smashed cars, and touch ing the stoutest hearts with their cries. Blood was on the cars and on the wood work of the switchback, and under one car was a horrible mass of it. The sight was terrible. A courier was dispatched post haste to the city, and in a short time nearly every physician in the place and throngs of cit izens were on the ground doing all in their power for the sufferers. The Dnke's Few York Factory Burned The seven story factory of New Y'ork, formerly run as a cigarett factory by W. Duke t Son., but more "recently by the American Tobacco Company of which W. Duke is President, as a smoking and chewing tobacco factory was burned Sun day morning. The loss was $400,000, fully covered by insurance the iusuruuee is said to be $750,000. The fiames lighted up the city for miles around. The buildiug burned was val ued at $100,000; the stock at $60,000,and the machinery at $40,000. The building was tilled with the val uable patented machinery, which made the Dukes master of the situation when the cigarett trust was formed, and there were tons of tobacco in the building. Between 600 aud 600 girl operatives were employed in Hie factory. The man agers of the factory made immediate ar rangements to take them to Baltimore for temporary employment iu the factory of Gail, Ax & Co. Mr. Rom Nunu has taken the position of general delivery clerk at the postoffice. He entered upon the duties of the place Thursday. He intends, however, to con tinue his news stand business through an assistant. Richmond and Moore counties have just had the greatest forest tires that ever occurred there. Thousands of acres of turpentine trees have been destroyed, houses burned, and the town of West End nearly wiped out. Skilled burglars are at work in Smith field. They robbed two safes Monday night getting $375 in bills Irom one and a quantity of gold from the other. Five arrests ofpersons supposed to be impli cated liavc been made. Deputy L. S. Marshal Upchurch of Raleigh w as shot by a counterfeiter named John Allen Johnson whom he was at tempting to arrest. Upchurch found Johnson at a bar and summoned others to assist in the arrest. After shooting Upchurch Johnson fired at his assistants and though some of the bullets passed through clothes, they were not hurt. Johnson escaped. Upchurch,it is expected win die.

Johnson, Presbyterial Evan gelist, drove over to the city Wednesday from Aurora, and left in the afternoon on the Steamer Neuse for his home in Eliz abeth City. On Monday the third inst. Mr. John son organized a church at Aurora after he had preached there nearly a week previous to that time, on the Sabbath he organized one at Mackey's Ferry. The latter is the first Presbyterian church ever organized iu Washington county. The membership is quite small in each church, but there are others expected to ioin, and Mr. Johnson considers the out look favorable in each church. Fatal Lightning. During a severe thunder storm which prevailed at Jacksonville, Tuesday after noon, the 4th inst., about 3 o'clock a negro employee of the large saw mill there was killed while standing by a post in the planing mill. A mule, the property of George Petaway, jcol., was also killed at the depot. There was an interval of about a quarter of an ! hour between the fatal flashes and the mau was about 300 yards from the court house on one side and the mule about the same distance from it on the other. The flash which killed the man was a severe one and the shock to those near , was terrible. Mr. Geo. D. Gordner. lormerly of New Berne was setting up one of the planing machines aliout thirty feet from where the man was killed and some of the splinters from the post 9truck him on the neck but without injury. The condition of the victims of the switchback accident at Raleigh is such that hopes aie entertained that none will die or suffer the loss of a limb. The seduction case of the State and Miss Caroline Williams vs. Lewis Pette way, Jr., which was being tried before Onslow court was happily compromised on Tuesday the 4th inst. by the consum mation of a marriage between the parties, which was considered the honorable way of settling the suit and repairing the great wrong. The two were of very Hon orable families, and the affair has created great sympathy. COUNTY (0M.MISSI0NKFS PRO CEEDINGS. M lay Apr. ::. !-''!.
