- In these columnt latt week was pub
lithed an account of the returns of the
ojimji urouge puau ' " -
work ofthe season in the North Care
: lint ionnda, and the' howing made by
tbem In the way of oysters. T
-, In addition to. the paucity of. oysters,
the report of the dredgert in regard to the
condition ef the oyster beds was an . ap
" patting on to oyster dealers, '"canneries
and tbepyeter gatherer. ., vi
' . With one bait of December passed tie
results are showing no better, and the
oyster, boats- How' arrixing from the
'sounds have 80Q to (00 bushels as the
Tesulta of a week's work, when formerly
this amount was gathered each day. - .
t These oysters now sell at 80 cents per
bushel, against 9 and 10 cents one year
' ago, and yef'the Increase of price on ac-
ceunt of supply does not bring the oys
ter boats as much as did the greater sup-
plies xA lover prices of last year. Bo
' far as the oyster dealer is concerned, he
Is a positive loser, as be cannot All the
orders of bis usual trade, and the lu
1 creased purchase price Is not made out
Of the consumer, 3; - " , J.
But a matter of vital importance to
the oyster trade of this section, and to
; the State at large, wh&t of the future of
the North Carolina oyster? - '-',
The North Carolina oyster, nominally
" under State protection, has been ruth-
: lessly and wantonly slaughtered.-! V
- The tongerj-'say' the dredgers were
' raining the oysters by taking op every
thing, seed oysters, svnaii oysters, ana
large oysters, draining the beds and ex
haustlng them of their natural supply.
This as to the deep waters Of the sounds.
Buthowabovtthetongers? i , .
An examination of oysters brought by
tongersto this market reveals the Wet
that they as well the dredgers are ex
banstlnglthe beds of the shallower waters
by bringing to market the very oysters
which ought to be left to. provide a "sup.
ply for the future. V;';: -
Jini above these gatherers, there- is
supposed to be the law of the State,

There is only one way to cure deafness,
anil that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con.
dilion of the mucous lining of, the Eus
tachian Tube. ' When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect bearing, and when it Is entirely
closed deafiiosa is the result, and, unless
the inflammation ..can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca-
nrrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. "

In St. Nicholas Mai-y Shears Roberts
recounts the successes of tho famous
dwarf Tom Thumb. There have been
smaller dwarfs, but none brighter or
more intelligent than our tiny Yankee,
who was never more than three feet l
tall. lie was born In Bridgeport, Conn.,
In 1832 or thereabouts, of "poor but
honest parents."', His real name was
Charles S." Btratton, and although his
relatives always called him Charley ho
was known to the world at large as the
one and only "General Tom. Thumb."
Under the management of Mr. P. T.
Barnum oar small, hero traveled all
over and all around the earth, making
two colossal fortunes, one for himself
and one for his manager. ; On Jan. 18,
1844, he set sail for. Europe to try his
fascinations on kings and queens and
princes. . - -. t i -T
In those days ft voyage across the
Atlantic was a much more important
event than it Is now. and you may
rest assured that Mr. Barnum made
great capital of this 10 days' Journey.
The party consisted of: the manager,
the "General," bis parents, his. tutor
and a French naturalist, and a brass
band escorted tbem to-Bandy Hookr-i
This 't act war duly heralded In .the
Iondon newspapers, to which was add
ed the statement that "on leav-tag New
Yorkthe dwarf was escorted to the
packet by no less than 10,000 persons."
Soon after arriving In London Mr.
Barnum and bis charge called at . the
office of The. Illustrated London News.
The first portrait of Tom Thumb taken
in England Appear In- that Journal,
dated Feb. 24, 1844,There re two
cuts. - In the first he It seen -Standing
on a chair-by a tabic; which serves to
emphasize bis diminutive size. The
second picture is very good and is call
ed "The American Dwarf at tho Prln,
cess Theater.". ' He; Is 'represented as
being on the stage before the footlights
parodying the . walk and manners-of
Napoleon. Tom-Thumb' performances
at tho Princess theater made such a
"hit" that Mr. Barnum next engaged
Egyptian halL. .Piccadilly, - whither
thronged many visitors of rank, and
fashion, ' ' - .
' The American minister, the Hon. Ed
ward Everetv wasvery kind to bis
conntrymeru and It tvas at bis bonse
that Mr. Barnum-met a certain Mr;
Murray; master of the queen's bonsfc
hold. Oa the day following one of the
Queen's; Life guards appeared before
Mr. Barnum with a note containing an
Invitation from .the queen to General
Tom. -Thumb and his guardian. Mr.
Barnum, . to ' appear at Buckingham
Lpalace on a speclScd evening. r .
;. Ia retiring from the royal presence
Mr. Barnum attempted to follow the
example set by the lord In waiting by
backing out .'The gallery was of groat
stride tnado rapid progress, but Tom
Thumb's short legs left him far behind
-or before. . Seeing that be waa losing
ground, be turned and ran a few; stops.
then resumed the process of "backing:
Again losing ground,, he repeated .the
performance, to the treat amusement
of tho -royal : spectator. ".Tha queen
soon sent, another summons, and. the
"OenornL' with his guardian," made a
second visit to' the- palace,: belug "re.
celved 10 tbe'yellow drawing room. Jl
third Visit was soon, pafd to Buckingham-palace,
and this time the queen'
uncle, Leopold, king, of 4be Belgians,
was present end was greatly amused,
asking many question, ' and ..Queen
Victoria, desiring the "General" to sing,
inquired what song . he-preferred.
"Yankee Doodle,? was the prompt reply-
All present laughed heartily, nnd
her mojeaty .said: "That is a very prefr
ty- song.. 'General . Blng ll if s you
please. - And ue uia. ; , ; .. : .,
The British public was now fairly ex
cited. From Jiarch 20 to July 20 the
levees of the little "Ocnerur at Egyp
tian ball were continually crowded.
' One afternoon, attired -In a court
dress, consisting of a handsomely em
broidered velvet coat.' short breeches,
white satin vest, white silk stocking,
pumps.' wig. 'cocked - bat and dreaa
sword, be went to Marlborongh House,
the residence of Queen Adelaide, wid
ow of William JV. :, -v : .
"Why.- -"(leneral,' " snld the queen
dowager, "I think you look very smart
today." "I guess I do." he answered
contentoiily. ' Before be left the queen
took hi in up on her lap, saying: "I see
you have no watch. Will you permit
me to give you one?" "I should like It
very tinicli," was the answer. And
few weeks after lie was agnln Invited
to Marlborough House, where many
children of the nobility were present.
and Queen Adelaide cave him a ben
