"Leah" says modesty is indeed a most
charming characteristic, but when an
old married editor tries to make a nice
young man feel bad by totally ignoring
at least his share in the "hearty cheers
worthy of college boys" then it is much
"too-too." specially when he occupies
the whole of the doorway, and others

what is passing.
"Maudie M." says, in describing the
Picnic grounds, "The place was lovely
for a Picnic, the tall and graceful pines
were bending their boughs together,
which made it very shady and cool for
us. There was a spring about three
quarters of a mile from the place, but

TheJorKNAL reporter having had a
standing invitation for over a month
from that clever conductor, Capt. J. A.
Richardson, to visit Morehead and go
aboard the Guldbringa, and partake of
Capt. Johanscn's pure port wine which
Capt. Richardson declares would make
a man live fifty years longer if he could
get a bottle a day went down 011 Wed
nesday, not for the purpose of broaching
the wine, but to look up items for the
Jourxal. Arriving at Morehead we
found the GuUlbrmya out in the stream
and Capt. Richardson unable to supply
the Fori. We were taken aboard the
AoaA, however, by her clever captain
and a bottle of old "Chion," sparkling
and pure, was uncorked and pretty soon
the captain was prepared to tell of sea
oyages. (The reporter being on board
the Noah, and remembering that the
ancient patriarch whose name she bears,
drank wine, felt constrained to join the
aptaih in broaching the bottle, as he
pronounced it pure and unadulterated).
The Noah had discharged her cargo and
the Borne was to be brought up to the
wharf yesterday evening. The Ouhl
bringa is sfill there, and her captain s.oys
he don't know when he will he able to
set sail as the libel suit is still un
settled. .
bye-products of the rice mills, "Rice
flour ' and "Kice Polish," from the
Carolina Rice Mills at Wilmington.
The "Rice Flour" is, I infer, the outer!
coating of the grain. It is a slightly
brownish meal of about the appearance
of "Wheat Middlings." The "Polish,"
which is removed from- the grain next,
is a whiter, finer meal. Both of the
products resemble wheat middlings
very much in their chemical character
also, except in the unexpectedly large
amount of fats. The outer coating of the
rice grain must contain considerable fat
as well as nitrogenous matter. They
should both prove highly nutritious
feeding-stutfs.
The sample of cotton seed meal comes
trom the newly erected mill at New
Berne, Maj. A. -11. Dennison, manager.
Much too much oil has been left in this
cake. Cotton seed meal should not yield
over 13.5 per cent, of fats at !lhe most.
This was one of the first specimens pro
duced, and the manufacturers are,
doubtless, making a better article now.
This is a most valuable product for feed
ing purposes and fertilizing both.
