Bargains such as that was are seldom pat on sale. There appear- to be a doubt in some qaarters as to whether the international naval review was gotten up to display oar war ships, or fociety's marriageable girls. I lc may oe that tne Tennessee legislature went to Washington in a body merely to see the sights, bat there lingers a suspicion that the visit was made for other purposes. Why should office-seekers worry Tj Prof. Tot ten still insists that the world is goiog out of basiness next September. Totten, however still charges an admission fee to his lectures. There have been more lynchings than legal hangings, for murder, in the United States during tbe list teu years.

The Kansas women are noteven a little bit afraid of the ballet, which is no longer monopolized by men in the Sunflower State. It remains to be ascertained what effect the privilege of voting will have upon the taste for fashionable spring bonnets. If the killing of two men by a Kansas bridegroom shall put an end to the barbaric custom, prevalent in some sections, of giv ing newly wedded couples a tin : pan seranade the deaths of the two unfortunates will have served a god pnrpose. ! The man who man who struts around proudly because he happen to own the tiniest little bit of a diamond should be reminded of the fact that diamonds enough to fill the cars of two long coal trains have been taken from the Cape fields alone in the las' twenty five years.

', , j Within the past two years the mountain region of western North I Carolina, eastern Tennesse, south i west Virginia and West Virginia hve bteQ penetrateC by new branches of railroads, which have not only brought a richly laden timber district within reach, but have opened op the inexhaustible supplies of iron and coal, the latter of which appears from various ana lyses to be the best coking coal yet discovered on this continent. It is expected that there will be a revival of the movement which was so active two years ago for the developement of this section, but which was unfortunately in a great measure suddenly suspended by the financial disturbance. THE SPOT ITHEltt A NEW DAT IS FIRT USHERED NTO EXISTENCE. The maritime powers of the world regard this ISOth degree of longitude from London (or Green- wich) as the pjiut where the day changes. This meridian, therefore j leads the day. Its passage under the I80:h or mldnght celestial meridian marks the beginning of a new day frr the earth, here to-day becomes to-morro! We have a new date for the mouth, and a new day for the week in transition. It is here that Saturday ends and S in day begins. It is here, then, that Sanday was bom, just to the west of Honolulu, but bear in mind that the day travels westward; therefore this new boru day does not visit Honolulu until it has made the circuit of the round globe. Hono lulu and New Zealand are only about 30 degress apart in longitude but they are a whole day apart as regards any particlular day, be cause the point at which the day changes lies between them. PERPETUATE HER MEMORY. The Virginia Dare Memorial Associa tion, of North Carolina. An association has been formed to establish an industrial Bchool for girls in memory ol Virginia Dare the first white child born on Amer ican soil. Mrs. K. S. Tucker of Raleigh is pesident and Mrs. Sallie S. Cotton of Falkland secretary. Tbe following circular letter in reference to the organization, its object and its plans is being cut out. The Columbian Era has evolved many works tending to the further progress and development America, none of which seem t' me more worthy of attention thaa i he one set forth in this article From it ou will 1 urn that, thi women of North Carolina bavt incorporated "The Virginia Dare Columbian Memorial Association," having in view the double purpose of emphasizing the Knglish oo'oniza tion of Amer.c i. and o! perpetuat ing the memory of V-rgiuia Dare, the first native whi'e American, by establishing in North Carolina a Memorial to her, ot an active, benevoleut character. Tne notable events of the early history of North Carolina are of National importance, because they represent the connecting link be tween the discovery of America, oon to be tbe subject of a maguiti- cent celebration, and tbe develop incut of America as demonstrated by that celebration. Discoveiy has been given proper precedence, and colonization should omk as the next important event in the evolu tion of the United States, the nation thus celfbrating its pro- s5re88. English colonization is flist j importance oecause rsortn America became an English speaking nation - ' The pioneer Sp. niards came to j Florida seeking gold, the French ! came to New Eoundland ' ti-k but the Eaglish ca:ne to North Carolina (then called Virginia 1 '. make homes.

No women came with the colonis;s to J ims'o vu, and Peregrine White, the famous 'first-chi Id" of the Fly mouth K ick Colony, was a boy, and was born aboardship, while in Kileih's Colony of 1587, Virginia Due, ih- first white American, was born and , , '. baptized, on the soil uf America. All honor to Isabella, a ho pledged her jewels to secure the great discovery, but more honor :o Eleanor Dare who braved with her husband, the daugers of the sea shared with the colonists the terrors and privations of the primeval forest, and gave to the Unit -d States its first wnite woman, who.-e memory this Association proposes to perpetuate, The lapse of time and the i r .u lLg kni.e of criticism le ive facts aloue unchanged. All po-sitde em bellishment is gone from the accounts of the early attempts at colonization iu Amen ta, but the facts remain, upon which the structure ol history may be reared The history of American women begins in North Carolina, and the advent of white women iu Ameiica is a proper subject for commemora tion since woman is recognized as a factor in all development, Research has about 'lispelled much of the pathetic mist winch so long enveloped the fate ol Virginia Dare. We have roof of her btrrli and baptism, and historians seem agreed that she grew to woman hood among friendly Indians, eini finally found her way to her .in countrymen at Jamestown. Believing these lae'.s. of inter.-t and importance The Virginia D ue Memorial Association asks for mn aij ia establishing this Memorial. It is not to be an ornamental statue nor a silent shaft, but an active, lasting benefit to women, such as an Industrial School tor girls, because the true eltvatiou ot woman rests upon educational development, which shall make her helplul as well as c jlciv.ited, strong as well as artistic, womanly as well as scientific. The stock of the Association is for sale at One Dollar per share. You are earnestly solicited to take stock yourself and influence others to do so, that this Memorial may be established and the path way of many be illumined by the lightof higher education. Certifi cates of stock will be issued lor ail subscriptions. Money may be sent either to the President or Secre tary. Hoping for an eaily and favor able response.

Jones A Co's, barrel factory started the latter part of February aud has been running ever since. They make a good, strong ventilated barrel, held to gether by both wood and wire hoops. They have recently increased their force so that they are now making from five to six hundred barrels per day. They hive sold a good portion of what they have made engaged others and are accumu lating a very large stock against tbe sea son wlic-i tiie rush will be upon them. The East Carolina Barrel company's fac tory, the incorporation notice of which appears in this paper is about to start at the foot of Hancock street. This season owing to tbe lateness of organizing they obtain their material elsewhere and simply put it together here. Naxt year they hope to do all the work here and use na tive woods tbe right thing to do and we wish tbeni success at it. Their machinery has been here a week or two and yesterday they received by the steamer Neuse of tbe E. C. D. line mate rial for 20,000 barrels and they have 15,000 of the barrels already sold. They will be an exact duplicate in shape and size of ordinary flour barrels, and be made of elm staves, ash beads, and bass wood hoops considered tbe best for the pur pose obtainable. Tbe officers of this company are: Tboa. Daniels, President; W. S. ChadwicK, Vice President; B. B. Neal, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Geo. Bishop's box factory started early in the season and has run steadily supplying all demands for tbe earlier va rieties ot ti uck and making ahead for tbe busy season. A Remarkable Meteor. Some of our readers bad tbe good for tune to view an extraordinary meteor that passed across the sky in the month of December. We never expected to hear from it again but tbe Scientific American of April 15th says t tie following: E. S. Martin, writing to Astronomy, says: December !, 1H92, about 9 o'clock P. M., a remarkable and magnificent me teor shot out from the constellation An dromeda and moved sluwly arid majes tically toward the northeastern point of the horizon. W hen first seen here, it was about tbe size and color of an orange, but rapidly increased in brilliancy and size until, before it disappeared below tbe horizon, it was of the apparent size of the full moon and was surrounded by mass of glowing vapor, which further in creased its size to that ot the beau ol a flour barrel. It soon became intensely brilliant, flashing at times a greenish blue light, throw ing off sparks "fast and fun oiislv," and left behind it a dense stream of vapor, 30J 40 in length. A gentleman who was at Jacksonville N. C. (about 50 miles N. E. from Wil mington i, ami saw it gave me the same description of the meteor in every par ticular. Today, I learned that the same meteor was observed at Washington, N. (.'., (about 125 miles N. by E. from this city). The writer says : "We saw tbe meteor which passed over, going in a northeastwardly direction. It did not seem to be very high and w as going at rapid rate. It. was a"out the size of mun's head with a tail of some length and small pieces were flying off and it was a beautiful sight. It must have passed to sea about the neighborhood of Norfolk, Ya., and prob ably led into the ocean. The programme for the Memorial Day Exercises will be arranged and published at an early day. Our townsman Mr. Jas. i A. Bryan is the orator of tbe day and Mr. at : W R. Burrington Marshall. Rev. Rulus Ford, pastor of tbe Baptist church, w ill conduct tbe religious exercises. On Monday tbe lTtb tbe bandages were removed for the first time from the injured limb of Miss Helen Sniedes, daughter of Rev. Dr. Smedes, who was so badly hurt in tbe switchback accident and it was found that amputation would not be necessary. The News ami Obser server says her progress to recovery is now regarded as very hopeful. Messrs. L. B. and A. M. Peer, who have been spending the winter in the city at Hotel Alliert have li ft for their homes. This is their third season here and they expressed themselves so well pleased with the attrac tions of the place and our people that they are likely to be back next winter also. The Messrs. 'Peer are tine young men of means who we are in tornied have vi-ited every State in the L iiion and it is pleasing to hear tbis pref erence expressed by such gentleman. ! They have made friends here who will 1 alwavs welcome them back. Missing IIuojh. The freeze ol InKt January resulted in carrying away of nearly all tbe buoy in tbe waters navigated by vessels plying between New Heme and Fdizabeth City. The authorities at Washinjton were promiillv notified of tbe destruction of tbe buoys but no head baa been paid the need of the vessels. "Why is tbif neglected. We give the list of the missing buoys by ibe names and nuinlM rs which are uied in designating them. Those' destroyed in Neuse river from its mouth to this city are: Garbacon shoal buoy No. .'!,' Wilkinson Point shoal, No. 1; Otter creek, No fl , Hampton fcboal, No. 8, Hanging J',unt No, 10. Lower Green Spring, No. 12 I'pper Green Spring, No 14 Spit, No. 7. All but one of these are pile buoys; tbe exception, I'pper Green Spring buoy, is a spar buoy. Those that were destroyed in Croatan Sonne! are: Roanoke Marshes, Is'o. 3. 2d class nun buoy; Fulktr Island Ob struction No. 1, 2d class can buoy; Croa tan (on Eat aide of obatructioiiii No. 8, pile buoy; Roanok" Spit, No. 4n 2d class mm biiov. In addition to these the Caroon point buoy No. a, 2.1, class can buoy is partly sunk. Tbe guides to" navigation should be replaced without any delay. Tbe "dila tory movements oft hose in (barge seems inexcusable. A Half Hour Earlier for Truck. A slight change in tbe morning sched ule of tbe mail and passenger train on the A. ei N. C. H.

No. 2. change is made between New Berne aud Goldsloro, nor any change in tbe afternoontrain at all. A Crd. Ed. Jolrnax The article in yeater Jays Journal signed by Wm. William cbm'n, and Paul Williams aec'y, does me a great injustice as the conversation be tween tbe Sheriff ot Craven county and myself was just the opposite from the statement contained in said article, whether it was made bo intentionally or not I do not know. The sheriff was addressing tbe people who had eongregated in front of ISpivey's store and the Sheriff told them h'g attor ney bad advised him that if the people did not vacate tbe hooaoi after be had notified them to do ao, it was in law a re sistance. I told the Sheriff that the peo ple of James City were not resisting him, that they did not intend to resist his exe cuting tbe law. I then asked him if he intended on his arrival at New Berne to notify the Governor that they had re sisted bis power and ask that the State militia be sent to his aid. The sheriff said be would have to decline answering my question. I again told him the peo ple would not and did not intend to re sist him thtt if he told the Governor they had resisted him it would be doing fhe people of James City an injustice. This is the conversation as had between the Sheriff and myself and you will see that it is just the opposite from that stated in yesterdays article. Mr. James A. Bryan informed me that many of the people of James City haa asked him to appoint me his representative in the matter of settling the terms between him self and them, and as tbeii lifelong friend I accepted believing I could bo of aid to them in securing cbetter advantages than some others. It was merely in behalf of these people and no other that I attempt ed to settle tbe matter; if I have failed it is not my fault. I bave shown it by trying to get for them the best terms possible. I shall do what I can for them still but will leave it to others to make the terms as I have failed. Respectfully 1 Kobt ILakxck The above is a true statement as it regards tbe conversation W. B. Lane, Sheriff North Carolina Confederates Barled la Tennessee. Governor Carr haa a letter from Mrs. George Fry, of Chattanooga, Tenn., lay ing inai. in a cemetery tnere are the re mains of "thousands" of North Carolina soldiers who fell in the battles ot Chica- mauga and Missionary Ridge; that North Carolina has more dead there than any other State save Alabama; that the ceme tery te neglected, an acre of it nnder watej, part used a pasture and part as a uau grounu. one is having part ot it leveled, so as to keep out the water and says more moDey is needed to finish this work. I here is a list of the North Caro lina dead, and if enough monev is se cured head stones can easily be put up. i ue governor nas turned tbis letter over to the Ladies' Memorial association of Raleigh. The latter will put up con tribution boxes, for this special purpose, and requests that at all places in the State where memorial exercises are held similar boxes will be used and contribu tions secured. North Carolinians certain ly pay remarkably little attention to the dead in other States. Ral. Cor. Wilming ton Messenger. $500,000 SUIT. Brought Against the Dukes f DarhMU The N. Y.
