J. R. Hollaixt, the defaulting cashier

Uoiiexl States Marshal All boa swore out a

There are rw farther new developments

to be about $80,00. The bank is le-
f Cared absolutely sale. It can aland iis

J. D. Church was a loser to the extent of
13,000, but this proves' by accident not
to be true. Mr. Chnrch had paid into
the bank $3,000 which Mr. Holland had

Miss Injrelow is an English poet

er;ilure lor cliilili( n, oi.e or lso nove's,
and a volume of poems. Tiio one given
he e is Ihe most popu'ar of nil her wril

'I'ull, if vu nter pulitd bifon;
Good ringers, pull your best,' quoth
ho,
-Piny uppe, play ".ippe, ORiston Belb!
Piny nil your change-1, nil your swi lls;.
Play uppe, the Brides ot Enderby."
Men sny it wiw a ttoku tyde
The Lord that sent it, lie knows all;
But in mine cars doth still abide
The message that the 1 -ells lot fall;
An I

s n U dit . I'
bc-
The flight ol mews at d iieewits jied
By millions crouched on the old sen
wall. I sat and spun within the doore.
My thread brake iff, I raised my
eyes.
The Uvel lim, like ruddy ore
I, y sinking in the b.irieu skies;
Aud dark against tie clavs golden
death
She moved where Lindis nandeixth,
ily Sonne's faire wit, Klizibeth.
"Cusl.a! cusha! cusha!" ralliiig.
For the dews will soon le falling.
Farra away I hear her song,
Cusha! cusiic! all along
Where the reedy Lindis floneth,
Fiowitlt, flowctli.
From the meads where nielick groweth.
Faintly came her milking song
"Cusha! cusha! cusha!" callincr,
For the dews will soon be falling:
Leave your meadow-grnses mellow,
Mellow, mellow.
Quit your cowslips, cowslips yellow
Come uppe White'oot, come uppe Light
foot, Quit the stulk of parsely hollow,
Hollow, hollow;
Come uppe Jetty, rise ond follow!
From the clovers lert your head;
Come uppe Whitelbot, come uppe Light-
f(Kt,
Coine uppe Jtlty, rise and follow
Jelty to the milking shed."
If it be long ay, long a40,
Whn I begiune to think how 1 ng
Again I htar the Lindis flow
Swift as an arrow, sharp and strong;
And all the aire it seemelh mee
Bin full of floating bells (sayt'j shee).
That riog the tune ol Eodtrby.
Alle fresli the level pastute lay,
And not a shadow mote be scene
Save wbete, full fyve good tnilej away.
The steeple towered )ron out the
greens.
And lol the great bell far and wide
Was heard in all the country-side
That Saturday at eventide.
The swanhetds, where their sedges are,
Moved on in sunsets golden breath;
The shepherde lads I lieard afarr j
And mv Sonne s wife, Ebz ibeth,
Till floating oYr the Kril--sv -e:i
Came dawn that kyodlv f-vage free
The "Brides of Mavis EnV-rby."
Then some looked up irrto the sky.
And all along where Lindis flows
To where the goodly vessels lie
And when Hie lordly steeple shows:
They sayde, ''And why should this thing
be?
What dauger lowers by bind or fen?
They ring ihe tune of Enderby!"'
For evil news (rom Mabk-thorpe,
Of pyrate gal'eys warping d-woe
For shipv-rs ashore beyond the scorpe,
They have not spared to wake the
towni ;
But while the wst bin red to see.
And storms be none and py rates Are.
Why ring "The Brides ot Enderby?"
I looked without, and lo! my sonnc
C;ui.e riding down with might and
main;
He raised a shout as he drew on,
Till at the welkin rang agnin:
EliTsibeth! ElinUjetii!
A ewteter woman ne'er drew breatu
Than my son's wife, Elizabeth.)
'The old sa w.dl (lie cryed) is downc,
The rising tide coints on apace,
And boats adrift in yonder towne
Go sailing uppe the market place,"
He shook as one that looks on !.ath,
'"God save you, mother, "'straight he
say; th,
"Where is my wife, Elizabeth?"
"Good sonae, where Lintl'3 winds away,
With her two bairus I marked her
long,
And ere yon bells legnn to piny
Afar I heard her milking-song.''
He looked across the grassv lea.
To right, to kfr, "Ho En,lerl!"
They rang "The Brides of Eiu'trby!"
With that he cried and leat his breast,
For lo! along the rivet's bed
A mighty eygie reared his ctesl,
And uppe tlie Lindis raging sped;
It swept with thunderous noises loud.
Shaped like a cm ling snow-white cloud,
Or like a demon in a shroud.
And rearing Lindis backward pressed.
Shook all her tremblirg banks amaine.
Then madly at the eygre's breast
Finns uppe her weltering walls again;
Then bank came dow ue w itu rum auil
rout
Fheu beaten foam flew round about,
Then all the mighty floods were out.
So farrj, so fast the eygre drive
The heait had hardly time to beat
Before a shallow seething wave
Sobbed in the grasses at our fict;
The feet had harilly time to flee
Bef.re it brake against tin; kmc,
And all the world w as in the sea.
L'pon the roofe wesit that night;
Tne noise of bells Wint sweeping by;
I marked Ihe lolty be icon light
Sirrani from ibec hurch tower, red and
high.
A lurid mark and d . ad to s o;
Am) awesome Ih-11s tin y were to me
That in the dark rung "Endeihy !"
They rang the sailor lads to g. i.le
From roofe to ro.fe, who feai less
roved, And I my ?onne was at my side
And yet the ruddy billow glowed:
And yet he nuuued I eneath his I reath,
"Oh, come in life, or come in death,
Oh, lost! my love, Elizabeth!"
And didst thou visit him no mon ?
Thou didst, ihou didst, my daughter
dear;
Tiie waters laid thee at his dooic
Ere yet ihe early dawn was clear;
The pretty bairns iu fast embrace
The lifted sun shone on thy face,
Downe drified to thy dwelling-phue.
That flow strewed wrecks about thc
glMS,
The ebb swept out the flocks to sea;
A fatal ebbe and flow, ahs!
To tnanynp, more than myne and me ;
But each will mourn her own (she
fayth).
And sweeter wo.2an ne'ir Hruy breath,
Than my Sonne's wile, iElizabetu.

He spoke-of the case of having fiicnds
in prosperity profesf-e I friends, and
of the need of having friends that would
stand the test when a-iveifcitycanie, whose
friendship would t-hine btighlost in the
darkest hour and who v. otild abandon
case, pr.rt from a portion of their goods,
or even risk their lives to show the depth
of thiir attach'! enf. lie described the
order as a comuioa brotlcrho .d w -lu?e
secret councils were for the promotion ol
such viliucs. He eulogized the liutiiual
unity which ndmittcl ol no jiarti-an stri'e

The oration abounded in siibiiaie i.loas
elegantly cxptcsed in wor is grand and
leantii ul.
The address closed with an exhort dion
to the brethren not to f nret ti'eir vows,
but to fasten sure tlie links that hind them
in Friendship, Love and Tiuth, nut to
forget the duty lo cdueu e the orphan, but
to go forth with patient step .and loving
heart, seeking out the poor child of tin
(lend brother, and bring it s ift'y and
kindly with the hand of charity to th"
order's own Orphan's Home, aud min
ister unto them in the name of Him who
went am'ing mm doing oood, to whisper

oribing his travels in the neigh Imrh 'Oil of
1 what is now New Bern, he savs, on page
; 104: "In the afternoon we fen aid over a
rive'-, in a cmoo, called by the Indians
Cl.attookaw. which is tlio north-west
branch ol'Xeusc river.''
This John Laws'-n was Surveyor-Gen
eral of the Province by appointment of
me jyiriis rropnclors ot Carolina, and Ins
hook is a discription of the topography,
the natuful history, and some of theludian
tribes, of the Province, rather than a his
tory, properly so-called. "It ' dedicated
to "dis Excellency William Lord Craven,
I Valine," (from whom the county of
Craven, of which Xcw Bern is tlie county-tow
n, takes its name), "and I he rest ol
the true and abso'ute Lords Proprietors
of the Province of Carolina in America,"
and one of ii s editions was printed iu
London in 1714, for "W. Taylor at the
Ship, and F. Bak-r at the Block Boy in
P. nor Xostcr Ii w." Lawson was tor
tured to death by the Indians, near the
locality lie mentions, in their gr.at massa
cre of the white settlers in 1711.
But much more direct evidence, and
positive proof, as to the name "Chat
taw ka,'' and the place so-called, ar; con
taintd in Ihe narra'ive of Christopher
13aio:i DeGratfenried, a native of Bern,
Switzerland, written in the yar 1713, and
fue
ic
ie8.-rvcil m the original SIS. in the inb-
brary of Yvcrdun, Switaerlaad. of
which city he was at one time "Bailh

Giafienried
settle I a colony of Swiss and of Ger
man Palatines on the neck of land at the
junction ol ihe Neust and Tient river3 in
North Carolina, where a town was found
ed culled, iu honor of his native city, Xew
Kern, billowing then the German spelling
ofthcwoid. The narrative, which gives
an account of the oiganization, settlement
and mishaps of the colony, has I een trans
lated ani( is published in full in the 1st
o1, i f the North Carolina Colonial Re
cords pp. 90-)-9S5. Tiie region decril-ed
I y DeGiaffenried, was held and doniinatid
by the Tu-scaroias, an Iroquois nation, tne
h ost powerful of the tribes of East
Carolina, from w hom was pcicliased the
land tor ins colonists.
On page 910 ol the narrative he roeu
lions that bis people "were located by the
Surveyor-General on a tongue ot land b
tweeu the News (sic) and Trent rivers
called 'Chattawka,' where aiterwurds was
founded the small city ol New Bern."
Again, on page 922, describing his cap
ture bv the Indians, be savs: "As I came
from surveying some lands,
following a patli, I suddenly met a party
of Indians, which had moved from 'Chat
tawka,' the place where New Bern actual
ly stands.' He was theu make prisoner,
together with Jojjn Larson, above men
tioned, who, as already staied, was put to
death with great barbarity, but DeGraf
fenried was, after a short confinement,
released.
On p.ngo 933, DeClraftcnried, varying
the spelling somewhat, a'lildi S to "Cliat-to-cka,
the old name ot'tNe town of New
Bern," and on page 978 he says: "I paid
for the lands calle l by the Indians Chal
taqua"' (that, orthography being adopted
in this instance by his translator, as he
himself exp'essly state-) "to the
Indian King calle 1 Taylor. That Indian
King livoii with his people at the very
p are where my house and the started
town New Uein. now stand.''
In 1711 a massacre of the wli te settlers
in East Carolina by the Indians was fol
lowed by a long and bloody war between
the rices, which finally risubed in the
complete overthrow of tlie Tuscaroras,
and their binding themselves by treaty to
leave i he Province. In pursuance of this
treaty they emigrated to the North, and
joined their kindred, the "Five Nations''
of Western Xe.v York, thenceforward
kuowii as the "Six Nations.'' Settling in
the vicinity of, probably upon its banks,
Lake Cnautauqua, they gave it its
name, it is said, aud from it the county iu
Western New iork snd the many literary
associations doubtless derive thtir
names.
The difference of spelling miy be ac
couutid for perhaps, as follows: There
beiug no Indian alphabet or orthography,
everyone, in those days at least, spelled
the Indian names or words according to
sound or phone. ically. DeGraQ'enrieil
was a German-Swiss, and his spelling of
the name of the place, "Chatiawka,"
bought from the Indians for his colonists,
may well have d ffer d from an English
man's orthography for the same word or
souikI. Be this as it may, it is quite evi
dent from what has been written, citing
the authorities, that in the early ye irs of
the 18th ceutury, an 1 no dou'it long be
fore, there was a Chattawka; or ChauUu
qui if you prefer, und that it was the
Indian name for the preseut site of the
tow n of New Bern. The name is pie
served in New Bern only as that of the
"Hotel Chattawka," One of the principal
inns of the town, which retains also the
original spelling.
DeGraflenried leturned to Switzerland
in 1TBJ, but one of his son settled in this
country, Ironi whom are descendants ol
the name in Georgia anil elsewhere
among them a lady well known as a writer
for the magazines. Descendants of his
colonists bearing the name ot the original
s.-t tiers still live iu the tow n founde I by
their anccsiors. Graham Daves.

The new steamer ".Maggie H. Larve,"
of Xew Berne, X. C, lately built at
Vanceboro, belonging to Messrs. J. M.
Ipock and C. II. Willis of Vanceboro,
will soon be put on a tine from New
Berne to Vanceboro for freight and pas

Capt. Ipock is master, and is very
efficient in the steamboat business. This

Berne's fair daughters the daughter of
our collector of customs of Pamlico dis

Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Hall came in on the
steamer Neuse from Elizabeth City and

Mr. Hall is representing the Charlotte

Mr. Hall is from California. He loft

Pamlico County Corn.
Tlie steamer Trent, Capt. Dowdy,
brought up an assorted cargo from down
Neuse river yesterday among which was
barrelled sweet po'atoes for Northern
m irkets and 600 bu-hels corn.
Corn is now advancing in price. It is
but little below fifty cents and Capt.
Dowdy informs us that there are severat
thousand j busluls iu Pamlico county- now
waiting at Bayboro, Pamlico and Vuiide
mere for it to reach that figure and then
it will be shipped to New Berne.
Petition lor a Xeuse River nridge.
The last legislaMre having authorized
the commissioners of Craven county to
build a bridge across either Xeuse or
Trent rivers or both, petitions are now
being circulated for one across the Xeuse.
It will be presented to the Board at the
May meeting.
We would lik'J to sec the building of
the bridge an accomplished fact. It
would cause development and rise in the
value of lands on the north side ot the
river and increase trade for Xcw Berne.
An Extra Steamer In Truck Settson
The X'euse and Bay River Line are. to
have an extra steamer on during truck
season. Negotiations to that end are now
in progress, and the steamer is expected
lo begin work eariy in May.
The additional boat, with the Trent,
will make it so that daily runs can be
made to the city from ihe. truck farms

Or
Tlie Systematic Finns by Whlrb the
Ueuninely Mily and Worthy In Ihe
City are Nought On t and Aided.
', A small white, girl, probably ten or
eleven years of age, is seen on our streets
so frequently soliciting alms, often in the
name of her mother, as to almost merit,
i young as she is, the appellation of pro
i iessioual beggar. This should not be
j allowed to conliuue. If the child and her
I mother are really unable to provide for
J themselves, somn permanent provision
I according to the exigencies ol the case
1 should le made. Il on the other hand.
they are able to make their own support
and have simply adopted begging us an
easier means ol obtaining a livelihood
than working for it, it is an imposition
on the generously disposed who do not
have (lie time to look into the merits of
such cases, and gifts, if unwoitliily be
stowed, are simply an encouragement for
its continuance.
The Female Benevolent Society of the
city, an admirab'e institution, working
through its commute s, to each ol which
is assigned a certain, limited and accurate
ly defined portion of the city lor its
special charge, keeps pretty well informed
as to the necessities and worthiness of all
the poor throughout the city, and thoogh
ihe income of the society is by no means
large, being derived mainly Ironi small
but regular voluntary monthly contribu
tions I rom gentlemen whose heart is in the
work that the ladies ore doing, the means
are generally sufficient to meet the de
mands of aiding , those unfortunately
needy but rightly disposed persons, who
according to their limited ability honestly
strive to provide for themselves, and those
who are desirous of helping themselves
are the only ones deserving of help from
others. If special cases at any tune arise
the knowledge of their existence is suffi
cient in oar warm-hearted community to
cause special provision to be made when
the facts are properly presented. So il
any one is foimd liesrging with frequency
and regularity the light should be turned
on in some way.
Promiscuous charity, without a due un
derstanding, though well iutended, can
easily do barm lather than good.
People are generally willing to hcjip.
those in distress, let the nature of the
trouble be what it may, and New Berne is
one of ihe best communities in this res
pect that can be found anywhere. Such a
spirit is commendable in the highest de
gree and it is not our p unwise to die
couiagc it in the slightest. We wish to
see it enouraged to the fullest, but our
special aim iu this article is to start
thought about the proper direction of
benevolent effort, so that all its result s
may be beneficial and the greatest good
possible be accomplished from the work
and money expended, and public alms riv
ing does not accomplish these resnlts,
hence it should be discountenanced, we
mamtiin, even to the extent of being pro-
niDiteu oy taw.

a dozen that the dooor knows whether be
is conferring a real benefit or not. There
may cases arise in which if one refuses to
turn a willing ear and a helping hand to
an appeal made in this way, a deserving
person in reat waDt may be passed by,
but there are other ways proper ways in
which such can make their necessities
known. We believe in the majority ot
pubdc alms-giving cases, harm rather than
good results. The man, woman or child.
who habitually begs, loses all leelings of
selt respect and in the case ot a child who
is brought up to such a, life, dot on'.y a
worthless but a worse tlian wprtbhW
adult career is almost sure to follow.
What but absolute ruin can be expected
either of a boy or gin who is subjected to
such influences ? Prevention in such a
case is worth reformation a thousand
times over.
Some cities have reformatories; we be
Beve in them thorouzbly. We believe
the Slate itself should have one and have
jealously advocated, as opportunity
offered, ihe es ablisnment of one, and in
tend to continue, to do so, but how much
harder is the work when a criminal ca
reer is once started, no matter ho.v young
the culprit may be than it is to take the
Child in time and block off, if possible,
the entering upon such a career.
When a child becomes a street beggar
it needs right then to be rescued in some
way fiom such a life whether it likes it or
not or whether its parents like it or not.
To save such is a step forward in duty
which benevolent organizations owe to
the community; it is a step which Chris
tianity itself demands. We believe the
present laws would permit the taking of a
child from such a life, if not, they should
do so, and moreover tbey should not only
permit it but require it
FAR AWAY ORDERS.
F. E. Ilegre A Co. Snipping to tne Ex
treme Weatern Pit ten.
Among Wednesday night's mail orders
received by Messrs. F E. Ilege & Co.,
proprietor of Riverside Poultry and Pet
Stock Farm was one fur white mice that j
order was from Lincoln, Nebraska and
there was another for a setting of eggs
The latter was from Lancaster, California.
It is getting so that North Carolina is
becoming known as one of the best
fancy poultry and pet stock places in the
Union and New Berne as one of the best
in the State. It is a reputation which is
deserved. Our breeders understand their
bu-iness and the birds and animals being
here in perfection , the annual exhibits at
t he E ist Caroliua and other fairs, and the
judicious use of printers ink which Mr.
Hege thoroughly believes iu, brings the
fact into prominence.
As fine an advance as the business has
made here in late j'ears, we consider it. as
