Carolina. Athens of old had many extraordinary : lata of excellence and the city that v'ould claim its name t must take - high : ..nk in literature, and art and coromer- clal enterprise. .Fifty , years ago New Heme justly "bore this name, for the r :l:evement3 of Gaston and ' Stanly, " :r and Hawks and their successors i it. j literary, and political ;world gave . ; ut.-.tloa to New Berne" and to the .ii cf North Carolina -which will last f.3 lonz as English literature shall be known or thetEnglish language spoken So too did it3 commercial prosperity from 1312 to 1835 take the lead in North CarcIIr x as much as Athens surpassed the other Grecian 'cities during he era of III! .lades or of Themistreles. New Heme's merchants equally with her lawyers, historians and divines, gave reputation and importance to the place, : ni laid the foundation fort the wealth z. 1 infaence which the city has pre- s rved even after the' decline of its greatness. . ' : . "' ? ' ;V To-iZay New Berne can scarcely claim the honored name, or if so it is to the Athens under Macedonian ' supremacy rr.ther than under the brilliant -.-leader- '..': of Pericles, or tlw teachings of rtto or Socrates. While ; this city has he r i:.tl share of scholarly ., and brilliant men neither they nor their friends would ch'irn supremacy in letters', in legal at- tainments or oratory over other eminent men in North Carolina. In tact popu- h.r education lias taken away the possi llllty cfany one secdon gaining much r re-eminence in this age of liberal learn- The newspaper and -t the y school room have raised the standard of the r.::. -cs so that now it is difficult to find men towering high above, their fellows. But while this city may not claim to be the literary and aesthetic Athens of the Sttate, there is no need to relinquish the title from a commercial standpoint, and it is to that idea we wish to draw cticztion in writins lhis article.-; New Terr; a is most admirably" gifted by na- t.u e w : commercial advantages arid there i3 no good reason why it should not regain the power and influence once wie! I d by her prosperous merchants. - Situated at the t junction, of two navi gable rivers which penetrate-rich and fertile sections, with inland water com-nr-rucation' with : nine or . ten opulent cou-tles, and with ample ocean facilities and a railroad running into the interior, New Berne has every chance for a pros perous and brilliant future, v Arid it is very evident that her business men are becoming awake and appreciative of thfc situations. - They -are quietly and stead ily t ullding new steamers to ply ton their inland waters, gradually: and sure ly drawing year by year; more corn and cotton, rice and other farm products to th3 riarket, and with wise forethought are encourasrins th? establishment of new manufacturing in her bonlers.'A; ' We think a prosperous and brilliant future is before .' the city and that she may soon ' once again have the right to be called the commercial Athens of the old North State. vWe quote the follow ing from a Historical sketch o( the city cf New Berne which we "find In the City Directory: J.' 7?0sX'M. v "We have said, that one of the most important elements of the history of lie --r Berne, after TtJie: Revolutionary Btn-ggle, was its commercial prosperity ani growth. ? This was especially, the c: -a after the ODeninjr of this cntury. I:a foreign trade grew "with .dazzling r: pidity, and the importance or. these foreign relations deft its impress tipon everv department of business. Ship yards sprang into existence as if under the touch of an enchanter's wand new veseeLj of every grade, and model were constantly '- going upon, the .stocks. Smith's creek and Bay river also became the scenes of mechanical ingenuity and skill, and, with the exception of the canvass, the -vessels when - completed were fully rigged and equipped m our own waters. ; To adopt the expressive Language of another writer: ? The rope walks in the vicinity of the town manu factured all the cordacre, the iron work was all done at the ship-yards, and when the vessels were launched, and the ac counts all settled up by the contractors, almost every dollar was left at home, to lay the keels of new vessels,: and to purchase cargoes for the distant voya ges. These cargoes consisted of oak and red oak: staves, t cypress shingles, tar and pitch, long ranging pitch-pine lumber, mess pork and ; tobacco, in a word, alllthe products of the surround ing country, which were exchanged in the West Indies for sugar and molasses salt and rum, besides a large balance of Spanish milled dollars and ; doubloons. Fortunes were easily made: by enterj prising merchants in those days, for the commodities brought back from foreign ports in exchange for our exports were in great demand in the interior, and were carried off in wagons and fiats, the only means of trans po ration known to people of that generation." - A. Bnmaa devil at Central Park garden threw a -lighted, cigar down the throat of the buffalo' caged there, causing the poor brute intense pain. f Flattering Prospect. When we removed the Journal from Kirst d to New Berne we caP culated on losing some of our sub scribers in Lenoir who were taking the paper merely for the local news. We are very glad to find rthat our loss has been trifling not more than 20 out of a list cf 700 ir Lenoir coun ty. We feel like returning thanks to our old subscribers In that county for their liberal support; and yetwe. know at the same time I hey aie get ting well lepaid for their subscrip tion. It is not vain boasting to say that the weekly Journai was from the very first paper, and is now the best local paei 'ever published Or circulated in Lenoir county. -Not only lias it been a good newspaper hat its editorial utterances and cou.- ments have always been, in uuison with popular -sentiment among the people. ;;W i thout pandering to I ocal prejudice" it has strivep to be the ex ponent of public feeling, giving yoie? to the people's wishes when they were in the right and not hesitating to op pose them when in the wrong. t lOdrsubscriberst totthe weekly JouRXAii can fee from the four num b'ers sent out since we moved toew Berne, how much we have im the paper and enlarged its usef ulnessci W bile retaining a s iriu elf ocal Tien- bir news as ever we are able frorc its enlarged foim to make it home pa per for a half dozen counties, and as soon' as our advertising patronage in creases we expect to add on four more columns so'that onr " subscribers may have the benefit of a large' amount of good reading. "I We moved the Joim SAL tb-He w 3erne in order to rapidly increase its circulation; and to do: this and retain the large list already on our books we know it ,is necessary to rive : first class paper, and 7 that Is what we propose to do. . Will not our friends in Lenoir con tinue their kindness to ns by showing the Journal and recommending it to- those. iot t already .taking it? i We want to gain at least one new eubscri- ber in that county lor every one we may lose. '. ; Bailroad Eegnlationl t ' No qnes tion bids fair- to create more discussion in the future than the great power wielded by the railroads of the United States. ' They are" giant monop olies, carrying prosperity and blessiuf throushout the length "and V breadth pf the land, nd at the same time; grinding and oppressing Isolated and local points, and are gaining for themselves the pow er of oriential despots. The question ot Government regula tion of railroads is receiving the attention of Congress and from a speech recently delivered by Mr. -Mills ; of Texas we gather seme statistics illustrative of the great power possessed by the roads arid their manner of using it: Thf railroads of the .United States excetim length of miles all the railroads oh the continent of. Europe.' 'notwithstanding its people outnumber ours more thari five" to 'one and to-day - there are- in this country more than t I00K)0t nales gof railway ramtfymg t every State and Territory in the Union, with 8,000 engines ; daily drawing 13,000 passenger cars and .GOO,- 000 freight cars. t Thet raikoad property of . the United States is valued by its owners at. $4,500,000,000, and it is ad mitted tliat their annual net income amounts to $255,000,000." ' ; ! " ; ' ' Now ' with these roads wielding the immense influence . incident to such ah accumulation of property, . it is. charged that t' the management of. this, power, created for Uie public.good, U lading its! bands in spoil upon : tlie people's pro ducts; i that it is H extorting excessive rates - for transportation - that it is dis criminating among citizens, imposing heavy burdens on some, arid conferring special favors on others; and that it is combining its corporate powers to riiake all efforts " at competition impossible of success. ' " .." , t ,. Such a state of facts being undeniable, there js no redress save . through the Congress of the United States. Con gress has this authority in either of two ways: under the power to regulate com merce or t under the power to lay and collect taxes. - Congress can classify all roads into first and second class roads for the purpose of taxing their gross ; earnings. Let all roads that transport passengers at a rate not ' exceeding 2J eents per mile, and freight at a rate not exceeding one cent per ton per mile, and do riot discriminate between persons and J places, but charge all according to the amount and distance carried, be classi fied as first class roads and their gross earnings exempt from taxation. And all roads charging more than this be graded second class and taxed 20 per cent of their gross earnings. The Gov ernment would collect no revenue from this tax for all would be first class roads. By the census reports of 1880 the av erage annual rate charged in the Uuited States for local freight was 1.6 cents per ton per mile, ana through freights 1 cent per ton per mile; and the average rate of' charge for passengers was 2J cents" per mile. It will be seen that the roads that have active competion must have come very considerably un der these rates to bring dow n the aver age from 4 or 5 cents per mile, as is charged on many roads, to 2 cents per mile in the' United Htatos; and the freight charges of 4 and 5 cents per mile iu some sections to l.G cents tor iocai. and and 1 cent for through freight in the United States. While railroads in tliis section can never become very oppressive because of our proximity to the ocean, the free road bed of the commercial world, yet the entire inland country of the United States bids fair to come under the power of giant railroad monopolies in the near future, and if the oppression becomes onerous, the united voice of the people should be used j regulating this as well as other public matters. The people have fixed personal rights anl no cor poration under the pica of chartered! rights" will be allowed to long encroach on the privileges inherent with a free people. Fallacy of Argument . It il a trite hri true 'saying that every question has two slidej, and he is unfortunate who permits himself to see only the view first presented to him. We make the application to aieat ure of General Cox's speech recently delivered in the House on the Inter nal Revenue system. We quote this passage: do-r not insist-"tfia the law is uncon stitutional, but is unjust and does not bear uniformly, rior even approximate uniformity,., in itsi operation. ' We all derive the same amount of protection at the v hands "of the Government, and should be willing to bear our due pro portion of its burdens; '' INEQUALITIES OF INTERNAL-REVENUE TAX- . ATION. No law could bear more unequally Upon the people of particular sections ' and upon particular political divisions than our present revenue system, and sinzular as it mar appear the portions of the country which bear the. bulk of thi$ burden'-'have fewest' protected in dustries; In illustration ; of this propo sition, let us see from whence the taxes imposed under, it are, derived. The State of North Carolina, whose aggre gate population is about one million four, hundred thousand, and whose tax able property by the slast assessment, is $170.000,000Tipays more internal : taxes than all the following States combined, namely :, tAlabama; k Arkansas, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi-: South Carolina Vfer- whose 3 aggregate population is over 10,800,000 and whose, taxable property is nearlyioUjOuyjWU. .His argument is that since as much internal revenue is collected in North CruKnaslhe ' other; ten States I named the law is unjust a nd does not approximate unifoimity in its op .eratiou .. Let us. see . how that will work;-.. We remember, several years ago, Senator Conkling made a famous speech intwUiclialbe jho wed that the yity pfr N(BW iPork, nearly supported the United i States Government, in that T the bulk of import duties were collected irom that port. .

Carteret County Telephone: The pound net at Gape Lookout in charge of Capt.

Wilson FItz. f'Give him rope enough and he'll hang himself," is frequently illustra ted in a criminal court-room. A per son charged with crime. not unfre quently furnishes on his trial, clearer evidence of his guilt thn the prose cution brings against him. Some years ago a man was on trial in Massachusetts lor a serious forgery It was in evidence that somebody had written a lett r signed Wilson Fitz which was not the Drisoner's name oflvrinir for a re- ward to give full disclosures as to the crime. It wa9 believed that the man on trial was the writer of this letter aud that fact, if shown, would have gone far to establish the prisoner's guilt. The letter, however, was dis guised in print letters, and it was hard to say that the prisoner's hand writing was in it. When the evidence against the man was closed, it was so incomplete that it is probable the defendant would have been acquitted. Unf i tunately for him, however, he inxlci took to strengthen hi position by his own testimony. In cross-examination he was close ly pressed by the prosecuting at torney, about the letter, and finally, conscious of guilt, and feeling pioba- bly that the jury all Mispt-eted that! person decides how to spend his mon he wrote it, he felt it necessary to j ey, he is deciding:, not how many clear himself of its authorship by i more work-people shall be set to throwing it upon Sf mebody else. "I euess I can tell vou, he said at last, "who wrote that letter. It sort of comes to me now. "Who was it?' ' asked the prosecu ting attorney. "Well," said the prisoner, "at that tine I was working in Monk ton, and 1 used to go into the Washington House there evenings, and I remem ber that there was a man boarding there- uamed Wilsou Fitz, and one evening we wore all sitting around the stove, and I heard him say some thing about just such a forgery as this is. and 1 cal'late he's your man." "How did he happen to be speak ing of this forgery?" "I don't remember." "What introduced the Mibject?" "Don't remember," "Describe the man to us " "Well, he was a tall, black-haired ! man, with a large hooked nose. "Well, go on . How old was he?' "About fifty-three, I should say." "What was his business ?" "Speculator." "Are you sure that his i-.ama was Wilsou Fitz?" 'Yes, certain of it." "And you know that he lvardt-d at the Washington House?" - "Sure as I stand heie." "There is no doubt d' if" 'Not the least. ' In ten minutes a teltgram was on the way-to an officer iu Monkton. The officer received it shortly before a train was to leave. He ru-died to the Washington House; hurried the clerk and the hotel register into a carriage, with no time lor a word of explanation; barely caught the tra n, aiid appeared in court with his wit ness and the book just in time, as the trial was about to close. : The cleilx ot the Washington House was nailed to the witness stand, tie produced tho hotel book, and showed that the name Wilson Fitz did not appear upon its pages, and testified that no such man had ever been at the Washington House, to his knowledge. The story was flctitiouf, Wilsou Fitz as a creature of the imngiua tion; the letter was plainly the work of the prisoner, and h? had only leaped from the frying pan into the fire. It was hard for his lawyer to make much of this, in fci argument, but the prosecuting attorney was not content to let it pass without com ment. . - "Mr. Foreman, and gentlemen of the jury," he said; "1 wish to call your attention for a moment to Wil son Fitz. When tjjfl prisoner so graphically described him to us, that tall, black-haired man of fifty three, with a large hooked nose, i felt at once a professional interest in him. More than this, the descrip tion brought up egreeable associa tions I have an uncle who is black haired. My father was once fifty three; and I have known several very agreeable men with hooked noses, and for these reasons, as well as oth ers, I hoped to have the gratifica tion of meeting Mr. Fif t. "But like many other hopes in life, this has not been realized. That 'arge hooked nose will never attract you gaze or mine; aud no hand, cherished or tcajignant, will ever find that black hair a medium for the ex pression of human love or of inhum an passion. "Gentlemen, when the hotel clerk gently broke the news that Wilson Fitz was not. and neyer had been. both you and I were defrauded. We can cherish memories of personal association with other men with black hair and marked features, but of Wileon Fityj we have no such mem ories to cherish. For this you must hold the prise ner responsible. To! be sure we cannot reproach ourselves f with having spoken a bitter word to j Mr. Fitz. There is no grain of alloy j in this pure acquaintance, and we i may ever think with pleasure of the i unexceptionable character of our re- j lations with him. Hut even this will j not compensate for tif) unfeeling in- I dulge ee f thp prisoner, in attempt- ' ing to play upon our susceptibilities to imposition, which unfortunately I we hava in conitnon with other men. ! "But, gentlemen, mw must the! prisoner feel, in remembering, as he ' will on watchful nights, how he base-j ly charged a forgery on Wilsou Fitz j How that tall form of fifty-three, with ! its bjack hair and emphatic no.se, ; will rise before Jijs vision, to reproach ! him with having dragged h;;a from 1 an existence of innocent nonentity. . into the publicity of a criminal court, and by this wicked libel to have left j a blot upon his ancestry, if any he ! had, and a legapy of shame to his de scendants, if any th?re may be. "Gentlemen. I call upon you to i fix the crime on this defendant, find j so to vindicate the blameless charac ter of Wilson Fiiz !" The prisoner was found jiuilly.and was duly sentenced. W. G.

There is a great deal of good sense, as well as practical economy, in the following extract from a work by Jevons, an English writer. Our readers may find in it the kej to un lock the often-asked question, "Does the extravagance of the rich benefit the community? A person who has riches cannot help employing labor of some kind or other. If he saves up his money, he probably puts it in to a bank; but the banker does not keep it idle. The banker lends it out again to merchants, manufacturer, and build ers, who use it to increase their bus iness, and employ more hands. If he buy railway shares or gov ernment funds, those who receive the money put it to some other profita ble use- If the rich man actually hoards up his money in the form of gold or sil ver, he gets no advantage from it, but he creates so much more demand ; for gold or silver. i If many rich people were to lake i to hoarding up gold, the result would ! be to make gold mining more profit able, and there would De so many more gold miners, instead of railway navvies, or other workmen. We see, then, that when a rich ; work, but what kind of work they shall do. If he decide to give a great fancy ball, then in the end there will be sj many more milliners, costumers lace makers, confectioners, etc. A einele ball, indeed, will have no great effect; but if many people were to do the same, there would soon be more tradespeople attracted to these trades. If, on the other hand, rich people invest their money in a new railway, there will be so many more surveyors, engineers, foremen, navvies, iron pndleis, iron rollers, engine mechan ics, carriage builders, etc. The question really comes to this, whether people are made happier by more fancy balls, or by more railways. A fancv bail creates amusement at the time, but it costs a great deal of raonev. especially to the guests who buy expensive costumes. When it is over, there is no per manent result, and no one is much the better for it The railway, on the. other hand, is no immediate cause of pleasure, but it cheapens goods by enabling i)iem to be carried more easily; it allows people to live in the country, instead of the crowded town; or it carries them on pleasant ami wholesome ex- i cursions. ' i - ii il. a ' i. :. i ii e sbs, MtPHi Wjab it is siwpie loiiy to approve of consumption fur its own sake, or because it benefits trade. In spending our wealth, we ought to think solely of the advantage which people get out of that spending. Youths Companion. The Duke of Wellington ofteu re marked that those gentlemen who bad been trained in the business cor respondence of the East India Com pany made the best diplomatic writ ers in the English service. They wrote clearly aud precisely what needed to be said, and nothing more. Dr. Nicholas Murray, famous twenty years ago for his pithy and effective style used to tell with great glee bow he acquired it. When he was a student in Williams -ollege, he thought he could writs well, and took a composition to Dr. Griffin, the President, expecting commendation tor its eloquence. President Griffin glinced through the first sentence, and said, "Murray, what do you mean by this sentence?" xie answered modegtiy, I mean so and so, sir." "Then say so, Murray;" and across line after line went the broad pen, erasing what Murrav thought the most eloquent passage. Passing to other sentences, "Murray, what do you mean by this?", again asked the merciless critic. With a trembling voice the answer came, "Doctor, 1 mean so and so." "Please just to say so," was the quick reply.' When the reading was ended, the beautiful manuscript was spoiled, and the erased portions nearly equalled what was left unmarked. Dr. Mur ray always maintained that those simple words "Say so" made him a writer. He Had a Plenty Necessary ignorance may be ex cused; but there is no pity for igno rance that is bragged over. Of the late Bishop Ames the follow ing anecdote is related: While presid ing over a certain conference in the West, a member began a tirade against BpJyersUjeSj education, etc., and thanked God tht he bsJ never been corrupted by contact with a col lege. Alter proceeding thus toi a few mintes, the bishop interrupted him with the question, Do I understand that th3 brother thanks God for his ignorance?" "Well, yes," was the answer, "you can put it that way if you want to." "Well, all I have to say,'' said the bishop in his sweet, musical tones, "is that the brother has a great deal to be thankful for." Tom Hughes, i js said, will soon be appointed Governor of the Isle of Man. The Governorship has a good house, and the salary is $7,500. An Iowa Judge says of the prolix ity of lawyers : " This State pays annually a quarter of a million dollars for unnecessary gab." Tlie Frost and the Fruit. At some pins there appears to have been a heavy frost Thursday morning while at others there was none. In this section it is said the fruit crop is not hurt. A gentleman residing near the city, who owns a large orchard, said last evfijiiugthat hfi had carefully exam ined peach, pear and apple troos and found no fruit injured. J The frost cut down potatoes, and akso killed buds on grape vines. It may be assumed that ! the damage is not great, and rhat unless other and more serious frosts follow, a fine fruit crop is an assured fact. -Xetrs and Observer. Geo. Allen & Go NEW BERNE, NT C.
