TUB Brunswick, Ga., Times say-: It is said some of the new doctors being released by the medical colleges can't tell castor oil from a chattel moitgage. It Is said that inexhaustible de posits of banxite ores have been discovered in Georgia and Ala bama, and that the ore jields as high as 43 per cent, of pure alumi num. The repnblioan victory in St. Louis was due to the fact that so many of the colonels were in Wash ing' on aidtDg their triends from other status ia getting office. Tammany is in line Lieut, Gov. Sqeehan has been in Washington, called on the President was cordilly received and will call again. He fled applications for office.

THE Britidh government has made the khan ot Khelatpay a fine of?17 5(X for killing five of his wives.

YOUNO men should take note of the fact that in future their chances as clerks, book-Beepers, typewriters stenographers, etc., wi'l be only half as good as formerly, for the reason that women are now receiv ing a business education to fit them or such positions. The accident to the Sultan of Turkey's steam launch was a sad one, bnt it is bard to feel genuine sympathy when misfortune catches a man who has undertaken to con duct a government, a plurality of wives and a steam yacht simul taneously. Washington Star. The Galveston News says the corn and bacon idea has taken hold of the Texas farmer, and they will be no longer dependent npon Western granaries and hog pens. The corn and bacon idea is one that ought to be elaborated all over the South. That was a very flighty proceed ing of Mrs. Moore, of New Haven, Conn., when she fell down three flight of stairs with her baby In one hand and a lighted lamp in the othtr. But she was well balanced, lit right and didn't hart either the baby or the lamp. Wil. Star. A Washington correspondent of a New York paper is authority for a statement that the President has ordered that no more fonrth-class postmasters be removed unless they have served four years or there ate charge made and proved Against him. Mr. Ji.epn Pulitzer, of The New i York SVorlii ban almost completely ! lost bin ee j WOrried him i lost bin ee-8ibt, and this has into nervoud proefra- i tion. b dy neetn to know when he will return to this country, and J as time goes on the bHitt grown that he has followed James Gordon I BenoetiV example and intends to spend most of his time in E ir pe. j THE new railroad from Jaffa to i Jerusalem is only fifty -three miles 'long. Pa.neuger trains make seventeen miles au ho r. The i rails came from Kogland the ties from France, tbe engines from ' Philadelphia, the c.rs from France and the heavy work was done by Arabs and Egyptians. The road i. no: likely to yield a profit for a long time to come. The St. Louis Republican remarks that ihe country is under obligations to Mr. Cleveland it for nothing more than for his friendly attitude towards the Southern State. He is the real reconstruotor 0f the Union, and it will be a union ito the prosperity of which the , Southern States will contribute more and more as they are left free to work oat their future unmolested by the sectional malignancy which so long "kept them in poverty. JIAM F.vn I KIES. It is not everv town that can become a manufacturing center, any more thau every port can be - cornea co:iuueroiai em ,o: inni, bnt evidences are constantly ccnmular 'ingthat the South will at t-',in' rime 'n the future manufacture goods in the vicinity ot her cotton fields. Tdis will not be accomplished in a year or t. trennration, but that is no reason why we should not work to futher tbe movement. Qe is no philosopher who lives entively in the present and gives no thought to the fnfu e. If not to be expec eil thatto-ery rnaiiQiacturing re iture will a cucoe-s. There will te failnres, and "those who hav expectation in their eyes will lose hope." Bu tbe movement will go on until the entire crop of Soathrrn cotton will be spun and wove in the region where it is grown. Some there are who believe that the multiplication of factories will militate against agricultural inter ests, but thia cannot be, inasmuch as every factory established in the South brings a market to the planter's door. Hitherto fabricks manufactured in tbe South have been almost entirely heavy goods, but several of our mills are now turning out fine goods which compare favorably with the products of the long estabiisheJ mills of New England. Five years ago Georgia plaids, products of the Eagle and Pbenix Mills ot Columbus, ranked in England and Germany with the very best American goods. Indeed j the Eagle and Pbenix had a stand-! ing order from Germany for all the goods it could deliver. But, no: only is there a demand for th manufacture of cotton goods but factories of all kinds are needed at the South. Diversified labor stands next to diversified crops as a potential agency in working out the redemption of the South. LOOKING AHEAD. Tbe next Presidential election is a long way ahead, and it would seem that politicians have enough to do iu giving attention to the present condition oi affairs, and looking ont for tne spring of some new rule that may make confusion worse confounded. Innovations are not always novelties that please, especially when they are the simple epse dixit of an individual. A party in con vention may change its policy and adopt new rules for its government but an individual holding office, is as much bouud by the unwritten law of his party as he is by its dec laration of principles. To go con trary to the common law of the party that elected him is moral treason. There is a great deal of individuality in the pnsent Ad ministration, but, so far, it is the kind of individuality with whioh the people are in sympathy, and therefore we applaud it. But, there are those who are looking ahead to the next National contest. The Farmer's Voice, a Chicago weekly with a large circu lation among vestern agricultural ists, predicts that the next Presi dential campaign will find the old parties aud the populists in the field with the last named party greatly strengthened. The Voice says of the Third party : "It will grow. Its leaders will become wiser and become better political leaders. Some of the planks in the last populist platform which repelled thousands upon thousands of voters will be elimi nated, as these people come to see that an ideal state of things can not be expected. The present ad ministration may institute some reforms. As it has the executive and both branches of congress it must at least expect to be rigidly accountable. But it will uot luily meet the demands of the great majority of our farming population, simply became the average poli tician ban been taught u political economy that the taruier has been studying. Ueuce, even under tbe most favorable cirun mstanc8, the populist cause will grow in strength. Tne disposition upou the part of the press and politicians of the partu s uot to recoguize this is manifest, btu th-it d isiio.-ition. i which hrougb' consternation into ! the e.imps of some oi them, will aain le.;d them to confusion." Iu all Mrs tn- winu h l.iMier to i the thought. L expresses the feel ! ings ot the envious woman whol I wanted her neighbor's coffee to boil ; over while she was out, milking tbe ! co; but no such thing is likely to 'occur in a well iegulated family. Iu irnth it looks like the Demo cratic party is about to absorb all 'floating elements. Men who nre , deeply rooted in the love of protec tion for piotection's sake will not be . moved, but that larger class, who j know nothing of the science of government except as it is evolved : in daily experience, will be irresist- ibly drawn to the Democrat party. j The way Mr. Cleveland is going on reminds us of what a good sister said at one of Mr. Fife's meetings: "There wan't be a sinner left." The Democratic party will keep its promises to the people and in the next national caimpaign the Populists will cheer on the invin cible Democracy. THE N'AY.VL KEY1KW. i Tdo Naval Review is just nr ! ' the event of the hour.'' The lieet 1 of American and fort;ig;t ships f w.ir that are to take p-in in ths Review are now asseuibi.i.L; n Hampton Rodes where i lit v.;1! manuver umil the- 2ith in taut, and then proceed to New York tlajbor, where the Grand Review will take place. This is the opening of the gn at World's fair-comaiemorative o'. '.he discovery of Anietica. Tln-re is nome disappoint ment as to the character of ibe foreign ships of the tlett. It was supposed thar I he navies of the world would oe reprented by their most formied ib'e battle-sbiDB. but the Washington Post Mays: "All the vessels that we may resonably exDect to see on this side of the ocean are cruisers, protected or unprotected. Of irou clad battle-ships there will be none." It was thought that the Eurojx an nations would avail themselves of this admirable opportunity to impress us with the.r streDgtr, and t he question naturally arises, why noi ? Ot course in attempting to auswer we are confined to col ecture. Europe is very far from b.'iug tranquil. War may come at any moment, and it may be that the great marine powers will not conset for their battle-ships to leave their own wafers. It is probate that this has its influence. Another reason may be in the danger of storm and tempest. "Jt has long been a moot . question whether there is in European or: Asettic waters a simgle heavily 1 armed man-of-war that could be safely St-nt upon a vayage across ; either of the great seas.'' If this turma out to be true; cue of the arguments being need in favor of:, the Uuited States entoring upon an expensive system of cost , defen-es will be at an end. The people of New York, Bosten, Taila ' delphia and other seaports will no , longer trimble in their boots ior ; fear of being '-knocked into a cocked hat" whenever any interna-i tional controversy arise-. , But perhaps the chief rea.-o'i for the absence ot foreign battle-ships' is to be found iu the wise caution of foreigu governments. Ttiev do 1 not care to have their ships in- i spected. Tbeir strong pomts in ty be coppied and turned against them1 in future wars. Notwithstanding this disappoint-' ment, the Review mil be a splendid pageant. j The news from Albany i-lriws that tbe police have) finally faket; a ' hand in the ClevehiiKH:li feud. ; A meteor exploded with trmiit-a. dous noise and fell near Fan's mill Pickens county. It startled the country for many miles around. The day of the ice-cream girl has come. Y'oung men who are not able to keep up with the procession ehould retire to the rear. It seems that the E. Eilery Anderson tariff bill was not important enough to stir up a debate. Scores were killed outright and , hundreds of others injured in the' Western cyclone. It isimpossible at pie-ient to get full p articulars. i Mrs. McKinley, cf Minnesota, : who has just been admitted to ' practice law, will nave no trouble j in getting the ear of the court. Iler i husband is the Judge of the circuit! in which she will practice. Chicago beef-packers, to buck tip : to the leather combine, ropose to! establish tanueries near Chicago, bat the combino says t he tanneries will he.ve to go to the bark The packer men think the tanners are only barking to scare them off. Here is a clincher from the Brunswick . Democrat: "During the war thu women of the south made their meat anil bread at home while t heic lias ban (Is and sons woie off in the -irjny. Now tha children of these httme women say they can not raise r,lieir own bread. Things might bei'uproved if had a ehowiug again.' the women TflE latest uos.ofrice rutin is that l hi writer lias the righr V reclaim and regain possession ot a letter provided he can prove to the satisfaction of the pastmaster at the office from which it was sent that he was tbe writer of it. Even afrer the letter has arrived at its destination, aud heforn it is de livered to tbe person to whom it is addressed, it. may be recalled by the wrker by telegram t hough the mailingoffice. Some ot the papers are calling attentiou to the fact that Patrick Coll lins, Consul General to .London was a mule driver iu a Penn sylvania coal mine when a boy, and are commenting on it as proof of how a man mav get up in this country. Gen. Garfield used to boast that he once drove a mule on a canal. This only shows that they had tha capacity in them, to he something more thaji mule drivers. Wil.

Xearly Fatal Accident in Georgia to a Former New Demean. The Kniuirer Sun, of Columbus. bi., tells of a serious .itid n.ar'y 'at d acc i-' dent to Mr. B. F. Ketchuni. formerly ofi New Hern;-, and a conductor on the A. j N. C. 1!. It. b'it now a i-onductor on the Columbus & Western road. Mr. Ketchum was running a freight t rain with several flat cars loaded with lumber ami while the train was on an embankment and he was standing below looking after the imminent of some of the timbers, some large rafters fell, strik ing him with full weight, knocking him -i useless and inflicting severe internal in juries to tiie lung- and otlur organs and asain injuring hi.- left shouh ler and arm which had been broken in a previous ac cident a few months ago. H.s doctor thinks that severe as hi- injuries are they are not necessarily fatal and that with ear. fu! nursing lie wil! pull through all right though the probability is that it wiil be many weeks before he can run anot le-:- I rain. Mr. Ketchum seems doomed to bud accidents. Twice while on the A. & N. C. It. It. 1..- nut with accidents that re sulted in broken limbs. Convention of Sontliern Governors. Twelve gove nors have assembled at the convention in Richmond. The fol lowing states are represented in the con vention; Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama. Tennessee, Louisiana, West Vir ginia, Missouri. Arkansas and Mississippi. The States without representation are Kentucky, Florida and Texas. The meeting began at noon, it was opened with prayer and Gov. F'ishback of Arkansas was temporary chairman. A committee on permanent organization and mode of procedure was appointed with instructions to report at 11 o'clock the next day Chronological. Several papers ha ing made the state ment that the O'.h of April had not fallen on Sunday since 1G.". the date of Gen. Lee's surrender. Maj. D. T. Caraway, of this city looked the matter up with tlie following result : April the !nh. IbO"). was Palm Sundav and the Kith Easter. April the 9th, 1 ST1 . was Faster. April the 9th, 176, was again Palm Sunday and the Kith Easter. April the 9th, 182. was again Easter. April the !th, 1-93, was the Sunday after Easter. And tlie calendar shows that in 1793 Easter Sunday fell on April 2nd just as it did in lb93. They Still Refuse. Sheriff Lane made a formal demand Friday upon the people of .lames City to move from the property, but they de clined to do so. and said thev would srav until put otf by the power of the law. All has now been done in the interest of; harmony that could be expected anel that j the colored people have reached such I a determination as this is deplorable, j Unless they quickly reconsider their de- j eision it can only end in tio ible npoa top of trouble for them.

Never was a secret more sacredly kept than the preparation for the capture of Now hern and never was disappointment greater than with some at tlie failure. That Capt. Wood and his sailors played their part successfully and gloriously is a matter of history and w ith the troops around New hern with similir effort on the part of the commanding officer the town, with the immense stores in it would undoubetly have been taken by the Confederates at comparatively small sacrifice. We know the blame has been imputed to Gen. liarton for his dilatory movement on the south side of Trent river and it was inexplicable, with the strong force he had, yet he migtit have been pushed up by those over him in com mand. 'The place where the delay oc curred was subsequently carried by a squadron oi cavalry, in a jlater expedi tion, und-r command of Gen. Hoke, who just at the? niouvnt of ordering the com bined assault upon the town was hastily ordered, with the entire command to Vir ginia, iu consequence of the threatening position of Grant's army and the weak ness of Le.'s as to men. Hoke had pre viuiisly caput red Plymouth by assault, caused Washington, N. C, to be evacu ated and unquestionably, but for the rea son alone, would have added New Berne to his very brilliant and important achievements in war. Referring again to the secrecy of the P.ckctt expedition we will give an in ch lent of some , interest, at the time in North Carolina. The writer received a letter from Gov. Vance in w hich lie stated he had learned from good anthority, that, Hoke's Brigade was going West. See Hoke alludes to it, and while pasing some of the commands, at least, would pav their respects to Mr. W. W. Ilolden, at Raleigh, in a way that would not be ap preciated; and winch would compel! him, as tlie chief executive officer of tlie State, to attempt to protect rrny citizen, under the law, even if he had to meet with a weak force a very strong one. Of course, the Governor had no troops that could contend with a Brigade of Veterans. Yet here we see the will to uphold the law at any hazard, even in the darkest days of the war. Did Gov. Ilolden recollect this and so act when the opportunity was presented 'to him, no, no. But Gov. Vance was promptly notified. "Gen. Hoke will aid you in upholding the law with his entire Brigade if it should stop in Raleigh in passing West. This en dorsement he lias put an the back of your note.'' All felt sure, now, that tlie reai destination of Hokes Brigade was safe in hand. Tlie greatest auxiety was relative to Capt. Wood's naval force. Certainly if the enemy obtained knowl edge of its coming both the land and naval forces would be on the alert, and as Wood contemplated no surrender, the destruction of himself and men must hac been inevitable. But to make sure a number and ilixfrert allowed to read Gov. security doubly of rcrji close gentlemen were Vance's note vvith- out Gen. Hokes endorsement, each hav ing enjoined secrecy for his life. Im mediately afterwards it was, as expected then it would be. an open secret and every one seemed to know Hokes Bri gade was going West and with an eye askance for Ilolden when about Raleigh. The story too was gathering weight with its frequent repetition until it soon got to be one of blood, death and destruction spreading out in long lines in every direction. Thus tlie blabber's were doing goo dwork unconsciously. This often oc curs in peace as well as in war.Doesn't it? W. To he Cvrithii'cl.') Good Hook and Line Fishing. Messrs. J. F. Mew borne, John Parrott and Jesse Herbert, of Lenoir county came in Thursday from a three day's fishing frolic in Village creek about half way between this city and Kinston. They had abundant evidence of the fine quality of the sport they have ben enjoying in the many large robins, chubs, jacks, welchman, rocks, etc., that they brought with them. Mr Mewborne tells us that it took about n quarer of an hour to land one big rock Hot they hooked. In his struggles he pulled the boat around two or three times and fearing he might es cape they finally shot him. Trees are fast putting out their leaves and flowers arc blooming hi proof that spring is here w ith all of its charms and loveliness. C. E. Graham has decided to build a new cotton factory iu Ashcville. The site is inside the city limits on the French Broad river. Work begun Wednesday. The factory will start with 100 hands. The Southern Governors are assembling at Piedmont. Governor Carr left for the meeting Tuesday, accompanied by Com missioner of Agriculture John Robinson and the State Geologist J. A. Holmes. Three mile from Greenville, S. C. in a secluded mountain spot the bodies of a man, his wife, a grown daughter and a 12 years old son were found iu the rums of their burned cabin. The scene of tlie tragedy is in the moonshine section and there is a suspicion that the family were the victims of some enemy's vengeance. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. A FEARFUL STORM. It Carries Death and Destruction De fore It in Several States News from the western storm up to 1 the 13th inst was to the effect that it was still raging. TiieJ havoc is wide-spread and aw ful. On the night of the 12th the town of Saline, Mich., nine miles from Ypsibuiti was wiped out by a cyclone. It is u town of 1,200 or 1,400. The next night Ypsilanti was struck by a cyclone that took a track about two blocks w ide through the business port ion of the town and swept everything in its path. The loss in Ypsilan; i is estimated at $200,000. People were injured but none killed In the vicinity, country property, lum -. cattle, orchards, Ac , suffered considera ble and a few people were killed. In Missouri there J wa- heavy 1 .-s ol lite. ; . The storm was general in South Dako ta. Rain fell heavily for twelve hours with hail and snow in some places. Streets were inundated, cellars flooded.! streams swollen and some houses I lowu i down. Similar news comes from North western Iowa. In Indjania the streams arc higin r limn ever known and great damage is reported from every quarter. Shepards, a small station iu Tennessee was totally demolished not a house was left standing. Dozens of buildings w ere wrecked in Jackson, Tenn. Everything in the path of the storm was levelled but the extent of damage in the rural dis tricts could not be learned. The cyclone passed through ' North Louisiana and did great damage destroy ing houses, barns, gins and quarters. A full fledged hurrictne passed near Van Buren, Arkansas, and played wild work. At, Vian, Indian territory, fifty miles away, stores and telegraph poles were levelled. All trains were delayed from two to ten hours. Robinsonville, Miss , a small town, was entirely destroyed by the cyclone. Sev enteen people were killed and a half hun dred wounded. Fire broke out in the wreckage and seveial bodies of those killed were burned to a crisp. Two clouds from opposite directions met over the town and then began a rotary motion which tore up houses and snapped huge trees like reeds. Three children were blown a hundred yards without being injured but the dead body of an old negress was found in open field where she was probably droppetl by the wind. The property loss in the town will reach $100,000. Kaising- the Stock. Fifty-eight shares for the New Berne Steam ferry have been subscribed during the last two days . Eleven merchants take five shares each and three citizens one each. Tbjs is a very good beginning. Big Ike will canvass New Berne until May court in Pamlico, then he and others will go clown and complete the stock. The charter members oropose to raise two-hundred and fifty shares of twenty five dollars each making in all six thou sand dollars. They then propose to make an assessment of twenty-five per cent which will amount to fifteen hundred dollars then this will buy or build a boat not to cost over three thousand dollars, with a payment of one thousand dollars, and, one, two and three years to pay the balance. The remainder, five hundred dollars will be put in wharves and docks. Bijf Cattle and Big: Prices. Wednesday Mr. B. Swert bought the largest steer on Messrs. Hackbujn & Wil lets stock farm and killed him yesterday. Mr. Swert informs us that it is tire largest beef animal ever killed in the city. The dressed weight was 1532 pounds, and as the rule of calculation is that beef loses one half in dressing it will be seen that this animal alive would have tipped the scales at nearly 3100 pounds ! The price he brought was $100. About a year ago Mr. Swert bought one from the same farm almost a match for this one (he weighed only about a dozen pounds less) and paid exactly the same price. When liolstein cattle will bring $100 apiece it looks as if it would pay well to raise them. Safe Robberies in Charlottn From the Charlotte Observer we learn that on Wednesday morning between two and four o'clock sate crackers got in good jobs at Charlotte. Two safes were blown open and robbed of money and papers. Nothing was known of the first robbery until the-next morning when the safe was discovered blown open with the lock shattered and the door lying in tlie floor. At the latter place one of the robbers was discovered as tbe explosion occured but they got away with their booty. The burglars were not bunglers but meu who knew their business. Vigilance is cauiioned to prevent similar occur rence. There is no clue to the offendeis. Dr. E. Porter of Rocky Mount shipped a crate of strawberries on the 1 Ot li inst., tbe first North Carolina berries of the sea son. In Wales a spark from an en gine ignited gas in a coal pit, causing an explosion with awful havoc, there being three hundred miners in the mine at the time. Seventy escaped, many badly scorched, and four bodies have been brought out. The mine is burning fiercery. There is the greatest tear thai all in the mine Have already perished. California has had a series of earth quake shocks, between 40 and 50 in nil since the 6th inst., in Pico Canon, the centre of the oil region. Saturday a se vere earthquake shook houses' in the canon and was felt all over Southern California. Since then the shocks have been light and confined to a small area in the mountain. An entirely different version of John L. Sullivan racket at Greensboro is told. It is to the effect that a tough belonging to Sullivan's company attempted to raise a row with the private secretary of'cx Gov. Holt, when Sullivan rebuked the of fender, "apologized for his employe r's conduct, and then -took him by the c ol lar and led him to the second class ear as if he had been a child.
