A report comes from Washing ton that the closest political friends of Mr. Cleveland admit that he bloodeted in bin Hawaiian iiol.cy, but art- trving to put the blame on Mr. Grenham. If really Mr. ClevtUnd has come to grief by following the advice ot Mr. Gresham he w 11 get little Democratic sympathy. There is no better exponent of Republicanism in its h:gher ili-9l.)!irn"iits than Mi. Gresham. and wheu hi w i placed at the bead of the Cabinet it was evrl-nt rti:ii tnt-r hud been a onvem o i, ur who of t ie i wo bad experiHuced saving grace wa donhtful. It has been suggested that Mr. Cleveland had designs, on the Re publican and Populist parties, and knowing that Mr. Gresbam was a first favorite with both whose par ties, he got the amiable gentium m into a difficulty frO'n wbioh he could no? ei'r otf himself Hir we do no' think so.

We r.-tn-r think ttiar tlio Hanau affn; ir iginaert iu tbe fertile ur.in of Mr. C'evelaad and had the 8pprovl of his patriotic heart, lor the intention was good. The Secre tapy did not know whether or not the President bad the right to pur sue the course he had determined upon, and had no advice to give. Cleveland did not need advice, for he neitber asks nor accepts it, but be was sadly tn need of a Secretary who was at once a Democrat, a statesman and a diplomat. LTnfor. tunately Mr. Greshsm was neither. If it is sa d that Mr. Greaham had been in two Cabinets, and at the I time of his acceptance of the State portfolio was a United States Judge, we answer that ability to survey land does not make a man a geolo gist.

A Queen, more Queenly than anyotb er tn all the realm of Queendom, had beeu deposed aotually thrown into fits and continently quawbed by the military and na val forces of the United States. Restitution, apology and atone ment, iinmedinte and complete, was the inexorable demand of tbe situation. Carjgreau was iu session, but there was no time lor delay.

There never has been a more profuse display of fass and feathers than has been recently witnessed in the House on the tariff bill. Everybody wants bis constituents protected at the expense of the rest of mankind. The House is a regular circus and all the clowns are cintestmg tor tne applause ot the galleries.

At Wilmington we went to the "Orton ' It is not our purpose to putT the Hotel or to mke "invidious distinctions ' we have no doubt other ho'els are as good, i But we like Orton, especially that snug j little "Crows Nest'' up on the fourth i floor in the blue'ethar.

But there's nothing little about room 98 say thirty yards of carpet to lay the floor. Aud it's so easy to get there. Shake the elevator boy who is asleep by the door and he'll begin to wake up. The machine starts as soon as he starts, and by the time he's awake we're there. It's near midnijjht and our first duty is to sleep perchance to dream. Pull the shutters wide open no human eye can get in a position to look in here, that when the morning corueth we may soonest ;atch its kindling dawn. We look out but see very indistinctly, although in every di rection and over a wide area, a huudred 'ights are glancing. The broad illurui tinted dials of two of the city's clocks show clearly the passing In. nr. One is so directly in front that as we 'ay our head on the pillow, we re squarely face o face. A clock ol "or molia" on the mantel, could not in the stilly night t)etter ted us the lick ortickii. our fancy. Onr two windows command a view ol the finest part ot the city. Across the street nearly opposite is the admirably planned and constructed United States building, of fine architectural proport ions, with its handsome tower and ele gant arched and carved entrance. The illuminated clock, just mentioned, is two or three blocks away, on the new Court House, said to be the finest Court House in the State. A little to the south of it is the highest spire in the cilv, a beautiful one that of the first Baptist church. In nearly the sau.e line is the tall spire ot the fiist Pr.'S .ytcrim church, also a beau 1 1 1 ul spire. A dozen other spires or tower or steep'es of one kind or another, inny i-e seen, ami many handsome or elc uoint private residences. AK this before we descend from our eyrie.

The first floor is oc cupied bv the Post Office, which facilities are eicellen, the rooms ample, conven ient, comfortable aud attractive. On the second floor is the fine Federal Court room, with its nice and convenient ar angunients ot rooms for the various officers Judge, Jury, Dist. Attorney, Maishal, Clerk etc. On this floor, too, are the rooms of the Internal Revenue depart ment. The corps of U. S. Engineers, and the weather Bureau occupy the third floor Tli tower hns a fine clock with their illuminated dials, and the various kinds of apparatus for determining the temper ature, amount of rain, directions and velocity of the wind, &c , are on the sum mit of the roof. The velocity of the wind is indicated by four small hemispherical cups, perhaps three or four inches across placed Tertically upon cross arms, twelve or thirteen inches long, which revolves horizontally. The speed with which they revol?e is registered, and shows the veloc ity. Sometimes they move very rapidly, sometimes very slowly but we have never seen them at a stand still. The smoke may rise ever so lazily from the adja cent chimneys, and rush to right or left or sink to the ground, but it is never so quiet but the little cups chase each other round tbe circle. We mut stop, but we have not done with Wilmington yet. B. THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY. To Be Ready for the Accommodation of Fair Visitors, and to be the Best Kind. Mr. R. P.

The Freeing: of Veiise ItiTer ( hanuel From Mumps Now in Progress. For tbe pnst two yrur. Mr. V. 'A. Chailbourne, L". S. Assistant Engineer, liai been doing good service in thin dis trict in river ami harbor improTement work I iv removinir from Fas'. 0'n.rolin.i. water those thing which were a bar to navigation, or which were a niennee to vessels lining our streams. In the Xeuse j liver heretofore this work has lieen con-! fined mainly lo tlic removal of logs, trees ami siiaus. but three wteks ago lie began I pullim; ui stumps from the channel of I t :ie river. I We paid a visit yesterday to where the work was in progress, out in the channel just in front ot the Lewis Ferry wharf a little above the city, and were con siderably surprised at what the investi gation revealed to us regarding the nature of tbe river's bottom. We found that where the force under overseer Durham was at work the bottom of the channel had slumps in it pretty near as thick as birge trees would grow in a forest, us the interesting Mr. Chadbourne gave information that the stumps are found entirely across the river; as far up and down it as be has examined i until the joint is reached where the water j becomes salt. ( These s'umps indicate unmistakably that at tlr; time they grew the Xeuse river was not flowing just where it Joes now, but as nearly all the stumps are cypress the na'ural presumption :s tbat the present river course was low swampy hind wnen they flonrished. In the work ol removal no attention is paid to the shallow water clearing the channel is the object aimed at. One of the stumps pulled up lust week, near where the hoisting machine is now working, measured six leet in diameter. One that we witnessed them at work on was near the same size. The stumps was broken into several pieces by dynamite iu order to release its hold on the bottom, but one of the roots taken up ertirely was about fourteen leet in length, and larger around at tbe thick part thau a man's body. The top of this stump, standing in the channel, right where the tree grew was seven feet below die surface of the water, and yet it was charred across the top showing that at some time in tbe remote past it bad been on fire. After we had witnessed tbe removal of several pieces the hooks failed to do their work. After a dozen or more ineffective attempts recourse was again had to blasting. The first thing pulled up then was a big anchor of several hun dred pounds weight. It was judged to have been there about half a century, and was no doubt lost by becoming entangled in the stumps so that it could not be re leased. Tbe action ot tbe water bad put a curious appearance upon it. In some places it has, upon a casual look, almost as mich tbe appearauce olwoofV a of iron. The anchor and some of the big stumps removed will be exhibited at the New Berne Fair. It can thus lo seen, to some extent, the benefit of the work being done. One sharp prong of the anchor was sticking directly upwar.l and if a vessel had struck upon it, trouble would have resulted, as it would also if sonrj of the worst stumps were struck. The Government should continue to look out properly for all improvement work; and entrench on expenditures that benefit the public but little. NEWS is BRIEF. Gov. Carr left Wednesday for George town, S. C, where he and Col. John D. Wbitford of New Berne will take a hunt together. H. C. McDonald of Hamlet, N. C, biew out the gas in his room at the Scriven House, Savannah, and was found dead in his bed the Dext morning. With the new hotul on Broad St. and the completion of the changes in the Gas ton House tbe city will be much better enabled to care for Fair visitors than ever before. It is announced tbat Charles Holt, son of ex-Governos Thomas M. Holt of Hew river is to be marriad January 24th to tbe daughter of Governor Jones of AlaT bama. MissMattie McLohorn and Mr. Benj. Varren, both living near Vanceboro were married on Wednesday the 10th inst at the residence of the bride's father Mr. Harvey McLohorn. The exchange states that Mr. David W. Boney, of Duplin county has a hog 8 feet long and 6 feet 10 inches around. His weight is about six hundred pounds. He wonld be a guud one to show at the EaBt Carolina Fair. Trinity M. E. Church, Durham was re opened Sunday. It has been entirely re modelled, at a cost of $28,000, (of which J. S. Cirr paid one .half) and is now one of the handsomest churches in the south. It seats over 2000 people. Mr. Josiah Daniels, of Hog Island while out hunting with a friend last week had the good luck to kill three raccoons at one shot. He saw only one, and getting into a very advantageous position he blazed away, when down tumbled three instead of one. This is the best coon shot we ever heard of. As early as it is preparations for tbe manufacture of truck packages are al ready on foot. The steamer Carolina on Friday brought in from Vanceboro a cargo of timber for Mr. Geo. Bishop's truck box factory. Our truckers are ore Parin f,,r a bi ,eason an(1 -Mr. Bishop evidently means to be ready and prompt ly to meet whatever denands upon his factoiy for shipping crates may be made. A Train Kills a Flying Hawk. A large hen hawk flying along the line of the W. N. & N. R. R. was struck and killed by the locomotive of the regular passenger train Thursday, when about four miles from New Berne. Mr. W. S. Kelly, the engineer observed the hawk flying down sne side of the taack ahead , of the engine and at last when the engine was close upon him, he attempted to fly across to the other side and met his death as stated. We doubt if another case can be shown where a hawk was killed by an engine. EAST CAROLINA FAIR. OfBeers Rules and R"g-u'ations overn the Approaching Exposition- to OFFICERS. Win.

SI OOEHTION TO KXIIIIIITOHs. Make your entries early, mid take your exhibits to the grounds at the lime desig nated in the rules, and don't at k to re move them until the close of the Fair. It is not a wise plan to conclude, be fore you leave home, that the things you are going to show are so macli better than what anyone else will have, that yours will take the premium as u matter of course. When you are unsuccessful, don't ex pose your tempsr or disappointment by loud and angry talk, and uncompliment ary attacks upon the judgis. Judges somtimes make mistakes, but they intend to be honest, and their shortcomings, as a rule, arc pure and simple errors of judgment. It is often tbe case tbat there is not room for decided judgment, and the skill ol the best judges is overtaxed to detect differences. A slight point may have weight to turn the decision against yoc; but still you are really lene fitted by the show about as much as though they marked tbe prize for yon, because the public, being nware of close contest, will fairly discriminate and rec ognize tbe fact tbat your animal or arti cle is a superior onc,quite an equal match lor the prize one, and really good enough for any body. Under provocation, bet ter be silent thau noisy, that will bo advertising your disappointment. Don't growl and grumble, but make allowances for the difficulties of running a big Fair without some misfits. What you can't put up with go to the officers quietly, and it will bo remadied. THE KSITTING FACTORY, -Nearly Ready to Start Arala With Its increased Capacity. The New Berne Knitting factory, Mr. Henry Rishton, proprietor, will resume work next week in tbe quarters to which it recently moved in a portion of the machinery building of the East Carolina Fair. Mr. J. R. Yost, foreman, arrived Friday on the steamer Neuse from his old home in Philadelphia and was en gaged in placing additional knitting n acbines in place for work; tbe new machines will considerably increase the capacity of the factory in fact they will nearly double it. Tbe factory w'll hereafter make some finer grades of hosiery than it has hereto fore been doing. The machines have !een so placed that the operations will bo a part of the exhibit in Machinery Hall during tbe Fair. Mr. Yost, who now "takes charge of thefactory for the first time is a good, practical, energetic man, just such a citi zen as we need many of and the factory will no doubt go forward to larger profits and to increased usefulness to tho community under his management. National Bank Officers. The following are the newly elected National bank officers : Directors : Tbos. Daniels, J. A. Bryan J. H. Hackburn, John Dunn, G. II. Roberts and E. K. Bishop of the city; Chas. S. Bryan, of New York and L. Harvey, Kinston. President : J. A. Bryan. Vice President : Tbos. Daniels. Cashier: G. II. Roberts. Teller, J. R. B. Carraway. Collector, GrecnJBryan. Clerk, J. E. Carraway. These are tbe same officers and directors throughout with tbe exception that another director, Mr. E. K. Bishop. They make an admirable selection; the flour ishing condition of the bank attests the wisdom of the reflection. What Has Become of Hlml Cashier Lawrence Pulliem, ol the Nat ional Bank of shcville has strangely disappeared. He has been iu wretched health and has frequently had to take morphine He left for Philadelphia on December 80th to have an operation performed; he took with him $6,200 of thejbank's funds lor eastern bankscarrying it to save expres charges, and since leaving, he has not been heard from tit any point. Opinion as to this is divided but prcpondereuce is in his favor. If he had meant to rob be could as easily have taken more as to have taken what lie did. 1 1 is wife and friends believe his mind became affec ted and that he has wandered oft and perhaps been assaulted and robbed.
