Braditreet't weekly report, Kays that business of all lines is looking up and that prospects of trade are brightening daily. Reports from all Soothern centres are most encour aging. Secretary Carlisle has appointed VV. H. Low, of New York, as a de signer in the bureau engraving and printing for two months. It. is thought tbe bureau is preparing to issue bonds or to take contracts for postage stampe. Persons who are nnased to dogs and are sometimes afraid ot them should always speak to them sooth ingly. Talking in an encouraging, kindly tone to dogs establishes confidence and tells them plainer than words, ' I am your friend-'' Dog Fancier. It is said by a cabinet officer that under th Resumption act. Secre tary Carlisle now has authority, without any action of Congress, to issoe bonds for $20,000,000 with which to build up tne impaired gold reserve. An election to fill the vacancy in the seventh Congressional district of Virginia, caused by the resig nation of Gov. O'Ferrall, well be held on the 30th instant, Smith Turner and Basil Gordon are lead ing candidates. We regret to see tht Senator Morgan is opposed to free coal and rron. It is supposed that he is in fluenced by tbe supposed inter ests of his State. With Mexico ready to take all the coal Alabama can supply toere is no .laager to her interest from free coal. The Cape Fear and Yadkin Val lep railroad has been sold to an Erjghsh syndicate. Tbe price paid was one million dollars. It is ex pected that the road will coange hands about tbe first of Febrn iry. The Democratic members of Congress should bear in mind that it is a condition, not a theory. which confronts the party ;tnd tbe country, and that the sooner thev settle the tariff question the better I it will be lor both. Atlauta Jour- nal. J The members of the Virginia society, of Atlanta, G., are taking! lively interests in the preparations I for celebrating Gen. Lee's birth- j day. No orator will be selected for j tht occasion, but the speech mak York I ing will be done by resident Vir ginians around tbe banquet table. This is the very best way of cele brating this great adversary- If the attitude of the extremists is to be gieeu any significance whatever, the Wilson bill is a con servative democratic measure that will fally meet the expectations ot that large element which makes op an overwhelming majority of tbe American people the element t.iat has no soecial interests to main- tain and no special theories to ad - vocate. FAITH HOPE AVD CHARITY. Now abidith Faith, Hope and Charity; these thre, bat tbe great of these is Charity." We do not propose to play the Priest, nor in any iy invade the sacred precincts of the divine, bnt we will speak as a "i;in, a f "!ul erring m 1:1, of the ! .. vir tQes,net ouly ot our Christianity, but, of our common hum-urd Faith. Hone an i I are fixed stars that sbiue on every land an. 1 influence every life. Our space is too narro- tor our theme; full broad eaotlgtl lor our nowers i - - It is trust and natlsrauni 11 isousi ami , confidence.

He exercises Faith wheu heimium wtiir'i the suuscnoer pro- trnatu. in fln.l And has itnolicit COB - tidenoe in the fulfillment ot Hie j promises. Tho night may be ever so dark, but beyond the cloud he sees firmament lit up w.th innumerable sta- h. We cannot go father into tbe sacred territory we bve invaded, for the place whereon we stnd is holy ground Faith in man is as essential to ! physical and temporal well being, as faith in Qod is to Fpiritual and eternal happiness. (), let us hae faith iu our fellow man: We have no patience with per- ! sidered at a lower price than 117, petual fauh-rltiding. In a world of ; 223. which is the equivalent of a 3 beauty ana loveliness it is wrong to shut our eyes to Us ravishing de lights and look with' distorted vis ion on tbe disformed and the mon strous1 He who seeks for evil will find evil, lie who hungers for carrion will find it; but there is abundant compensation for evil in the good that comes with every morning's ight and lingeis with a holy bene diction to tbe shades of night; and, for him who wills it, there are rich viands aud tbe cattle upoD a thousand bills. The impure and morally dispeptic can feast to satiety on the fiitb and ofTscouring of the earth, but the nobler and more pare-miuded will go into the bonquetlng cham ber ol love with fruits and flow ers. Have faich in your fellow man, and believe that, beneath a rough exterior there is a priceless jewel that with improved conditions will shine with fadeless luster. Hope is an anchor bo'h sure and steadfast. To the weary and heavy laden it Drings the promise of rest iu a serene aod happy home, blessed with the sweet companionship of wife and children: to the tempest tossed it gives assurauce of a pros perous voyage aud a happy return to nai ive land, where loving arms are waiting toembtace and the shout of welcome drowns the roar of the wave; and to tbe fallen it whispers of a resorrection to new ness of life. However dark the prespect, Hope spans the horizon w th tbe bow of promise. "But the greatest of these is Char ity." Chsrity, Queen of the Virtues, waves her magic wand over Earth and throws wide the gates of Heaven. BJND9. The Government must have money Like our humble self it wants it bad, bur, unlike us, it has many ways of obtaining it. Tae most usual cf these is the tariff. A singu lar thing is presented in this tariff matter- To lighten the burdens of the people a bill has been intro duced in Congress that, with all tbe tariff revenue collected, will leave a deficit of about seventy millions. How is this deficit to be snppliedT Various ways has been suggested; such as an income tax; the free coinage of silver; the coin age by the Government of the sil ver bullion iu the treasury, and the HsuiDg of bonds. Tbe Government has cbosen the last named asth3 best remedy for the present condition ot affairs. Volumns will be wnttea about if, but tbe excellent Coarlotte Obser ver covers tbe grouud in a single paragraph wbea it says: "3j the administration h s issued 850,000, 000 0 5 Per ceat' wa Al: boaA Doubtless tbe strait of the treasury I is great enougn, out wnat tne peo ' pie a; e going to think of the ad ministration which increases the public debt by this am mat in a j time of peace and with the treasury I filled wUh silver coined, and in ! coined remains to be seen."' j Since we are to Dave bonds it is matter of gratulatiou that tbey are offered to the people and not spec ially to the banks. Any man who has the mouey cau got the bonds, even if he is not able to invest more than sixty dollars iu them. Now we iont intend to buy any we are not investing in that way hut as some of our readers may have partiality for that ktud ot invest ment, we will let Mr. Carlisle ex plain the matter to them. The Sec retary says: "By virtue of t he antbority con- ; tained in the act entitled: " A.n act Uo provide tor the resumption of specie ayi'ieir.,' approved Jan nary 14.1 S75, ' 'i Secretary of tbe Treasury iiere;. offers tor j a ' ) ' i c subscription ;! issu.- f b nds ol the United S" f. s to i b .'.mount of 50,0:iO,0(M, in either registered or con pin form, in deuouaiu rious of t50 and upwards, redee n b!- in coin at the pleasure of tbe govern ment alter ten years from the date of the r issue, and bearing interest, j pay able quarterly in coin, at the j rate of 5 per corn, per autium. -Proposals for the whole or any , pu t ot those bonds will be received at, lue iie tsuiy nc ruttni'nt.

In case the bids entitled to allotment exceed the bonds to b.i issued, they will be alloted pro-rata APPOIXTME.NT AM) CONFIRMA TION. The present Administration is going very slowly in the matter of appointments and the Senate slower still in confirmations. The fault is on the part of both he President and tbe Senate. It is the duty of the President to nominate to office. It is the duty of a Democratic Piesidont to nom inate Democrats. It is the dury of tbe Senate to confirm the nomina tions made by tbe President. It is the duty of a Democratic Senate to coufirm without delay tbe nomi nation of a Democrat made by a Democratic President. The country suffers because partj obligations -tre disregirded at Washington. ''Pitn tim is above party." Very, true Out Democracy and Patriotism .ire 8 nouy mous. Tbe President is represented as being red hot t;ec.i'ise the Senate has refused to coutirm tne nomina tion of Mr. Hornblower to a seat on the U. S. Supreme C .urt brticb, and b.n decided to make no chan ges of Federal officials in N w Y rk but will permit the republrons to hold the ffioes. We trust that, tb s is not true; but if the President bas shown any repugnance to a liepublicau hol ding any office besides that ol President of the L'nited States we are not aware of it. The condition of affairs is deplor able, but tbe President ought to have knowu when be called Gresh am to the Cabinet, when he placed his chief reliance upoa Republicans to carry oat bis financial policy and whn he appointed Mac Veagh Minister to Italy, that he was weakening the cords that binds the Democracy together and was under-mining tbe billars of his administration. The P.-esident vio lated the courtesy of the Senate when he placed Mr. Hornblower in nomination not only without consulting 'be Senators from New York, bu" in open violitiou of and in contempt of thier wishes. There was nothing in the politi- j ca hiat0TJ oi Hornblower to mark him oat as a epeoial object for the reception o( Democratic honor; nothing in his professional career attes'iug his fit'Hss for Judge of tbe Supreme Court of the United States. He was sim ly a Mug-wump-l)emocr.ir and a corporation lawyer. The resentment of Sena tors Hill and Murphy was natural, and tbe rejection by the S-uate a legitimate consequence.

The dining room, the office aud the sample! rooin,can be on the first floor, or a din- mg room on upper floor near elevator, ! room on upper as the proprietor may choose. The pat lor is above the office. The hotel is in a desirable location for one toj be kept on the European plan, with a first class restaurant and lunch counter in basement to supply meals not only to the hotel but to the public also. Such an establishment is sadly needed in New Berne. It will do a large business and secure a large share oi the traveling trade. More rooms every year wouk. be re cpi'ired to met the growing trade. Sum mer and winter tourists are now drifting to New Berne, which, for health, pleas ure and business prospects, surpasses all other locations on the Atlantic coast, south of Norfolk and is unequalled as a great water way and for game, fish and oysters. It is the largest truck region iu the South, which is cultivated the year through; railroad, steam sailing naviga tion affords cheap and easy access in this large business center, which is daily in creasing in population and business. Judge Carpenter is receiving letters from different parts of the country asking for information about this hotel and New Berne generally from parties das. ring to locate south, who will by glad to get the inlonnation contained in this article. Wo need more hotel acc jinnio Jations as the prospects are tuat New Berne will bi the attractive point for northern tourists as soon as sufficient liotel accommodations can be furnished. Airea ly one hotel man who feeds tive thousand it a dinner on Coney Island is desiring of securing a large hotel in New Berne to accom nodate this class of fade and savs he can more than rid up the largest hotel we cati erect here, as this climate surpasses that of Finn 1 1 in many particulars for health and pleaife and also because it is only twenty f jur hours from New York. Our inland seas and rivers is just what they want for their yachts, and water and game pleasures As soou as the Wilmington, New Berne & Norfolk Rail road is completed from New Berne to Norfolk we shall have a large share of the Florida travel. New- Berne is now a great business center which is rapidly increising. Its health record surpasses that of all other cities in the South owing doubtless to its near proximity to the Gulf stream and inland waters. During the heated term in summer it is from nine to eleven degrees cooler in New Berne than in any of the northern cities and its winter climate surpasses that of Italy, with flowers anc'. green field, and growing vegetation the win ter through. A more lovely climate for man has not yet been discovered. Its prospects for a bright future are far ahead ol Florida or any other southerm clime. Our Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial Fairs in February ech year is a great southern institution, which will com mence this year Feb'y 19th Rn 1 hold for one week, which will be a sight worth seeing and will call together a big crowd from all sections of the land. New Berne is one of the most desira ble locations on the coast for club houses ot Northern sportsmen, owing to the nearness and accessibility of chirming hunting and fishing grounds combined with perfect communication with the outside world.

It is believed the dead man was a negro tramp and that he wandered off and froze to death about Christmas.

The large amount of reliable information in reference to the State on matters in which almost every one wants occasionally to g-t points, largely accounts for its sue cess. A telegram was received yesterday announcing the fact that Mr. S. H. Lane had been confirmed by the Senate as col' lecter of customs ut New Berne. The Jocr'AI. extends congratulations to Mr. Lane and the public he serves. The affairs of the office will be well looked after while he is in it. The Clark mill is building a wharf and a new lumber shed (most of which will be over the water) for the northern trade by vessels.

The big catch of fish made by Mr. Wal ter Willis ol" Morehead city a few days ago netted him $281.25, says the Beau for Herald. There were about 3 1-2 tons of the fish. The Herald says it was the largest catch ever known to have been caught around there with one seine at one haul. The largest cargo of perishable freight (with the exception of truck) that ever went out of New Berne was taken out by the steamer Neuse of the E. C. D. line yesterday. It consisted of fresh fish, clams, oysters and eggs. There was over a hundred tons of them. Among the lot was seven solid car loads frjtn Morehead City.

The company then proceeded to Co- , luinbus, where Mr. Dunning was taken prisoner and sent to Andersonville, where : he remained until the end ol the war. Being released from prison, he at once proceeded to seek information of his wife, but he was informed in the meantime that his bride had been drowned while attempting to cross Kitty Hawk bay. This information was not Only brought to j him by mail, but by Captain A. G. Cart train I wiight, of his company, who married Miss Ljvy Etheridge, also at Roanoke, about the same tine aud had gone back for his wife, BelieviDg her dead Mr. Dunning mourned the loss of his wife and con cluded not to return to the scene of his short wedded life. Since then he has lived in New York and Pennyslvania, where he has been a successful dealer in itock. Owing to the sad ending of his short married lite Mr. Dunning would never even think of marrying again, and Mrs. Dunning would not believe that her hushand was dead, and for this reason ! remained single. In July last she w?s induced to apply for a pension, and in this way she ascer tained that her husband still lived and was given his address by the authorities at Washington. She at once wrote to him and received a reply, and the result was a happy reunion, he having come to rreet her. Mr. Dunning at once recognized his wife of thirty years ago, but it was several minutes before she could recog nize in the white-haired old man her war time lover. When visited they told their story between smiles and tears, but they were tears of happiness. The old raan broke down entirely when he spoke of the wrong he had innocently done lis wife, but he promised to make amends with the best of care until seperated by death in reality. They will return to his old home in New York. Mr. Dunning wears a badge bearing the name of his company. Post 150, Pa. G. A. R., to which he now belongs. Arrival of the Engine Horses.

Over the mantel were two rep resentations cl Gen. Lee one represent ing him on horseb.n k. Over these, was the date of his birth in iat ;, letter of evergreen.

Mr. Bryan seys if any of our young men v.h to secure one of the scholarships and will give him their names he will send shem in to the college authorities, or thev may communicate directly with Dr. John F. Crowcll, Pres ident, for themselves. There are a good ly number ol these scholarship' which pay tuition for the current term which will end June, 8th. 1894. Trinity college is making special effort" to bring its benefits w ithin reach of the public school teachers of the State. There are many teachers whose schools will close this or next month. These young men might spend the rest of the teim lrm ten to eighteen weeks there taking select courses without cost for tuition. The offers, however, arc not confined to teichers, they are open to any aspir ing and worthy young man, and Presi dent Crowell wishes to be put in com munication with such whether teachers or not and request those knowing of such to send him their names and address that they may be put in a way to be helped to a higher education. Past Comprehension. The Wilmington Messenger says that just why there is so much delay in estab lishing mail service on the W. N. & N. railroad is past understanding. We aie of the same opinion. There is pressing need for quicker mail facilities between New Berne and Wilmington and points along the road and we believe u would be a good plan to send it a few petitions from each end of the line seeking the servic" without delay.
