Of all the beautiful displays ever be fore made by our milliners, , the one of this season far surpasses them all. Such lovely hats, such beautiful flowers, such aTtistio'and showy fancy work as is' ex hibited by Miss Harriet Lane,' Miss Kate Carraway, Mrs. S. ; H. Lane, Mrs. A. J. Hart, and Mrs. S.; N. Dewey , is rarely equalled, perhaps never excelled in this State. . Ona almost becomes bewildered on examining the beautiful goods these ladies are exhibiting. They have each selected with greatest care, and most exquisite taste, large stocks, of goods. Their opening yesterday was a grand display, and would reflect credit on any city. ' ' Where everything is in such rich pro-' fusion it is utterly impossible' to dis criminate, and all that is necessary is to visit one or all of these establishments US' convince you that trie' taste of ''the most fastidious can be gratified. , ' ' The Fish Trade of New Berne,, We have endeavored, since we have been in New Berne to get up some facts and figures to show'our readers the ex tent of this business, but we have so far failed in getting anything like ' reliable statistics, because the dealers are reti cent about giving information in egard to their business, fearing, as we suppose, that it would ' invite further competi tion which is already too sharp for big profits.' So . we have to pick up pur. in- formation as nest we can Dy actual ob servation , and casual remarks made by the dealers. " " - ' ' ) pn Wednesdays dropped in at tHe fish house of Mr. .. Geo;. 'Nu' Ives, and while viewing a great variety t of i fish which he was busily engaged in pack. ing, among which was a 87 pound rock, we dreW from him the following infor mation which we hope will not injure his business to the extent of a single penny by being given to the public: 1 " He has engaged in the business four teen boats varying in size from a twen ty-six ton sloop down to' a canoe. He has about fifteen hands steadily engaged in packing at this place and Beaufort, besides the innumerable' host' that man the nets. He shipped by; express on Thursday, from this place and Beaufort, forty-one boxes, aggregating two and one-haU tons of fish, packed in one and a half tons of ice. He paid on this one shipment freights' ameunting to $86.25, Among the fish shipped! were shad, her ring, speckle 'trout, gray trout, drum, sea mullets, blue fish, rock, sturgeon' etc. . NqV when it is remembered that Mr. Ives is only one dealer among near ly a dozenvBpme idea can be, given . of the extenfbf the husinessi -I' We think .we would be saf,e in assert ing that New Berne, in connection with Beaufort, is the greatest fish - shipping point anywhere on, the, coast.? The freights' on the finny tribe are worth linpre to the A. & Nv C. R. R. than the corn trade. . Take the one ' shipment of Mr, lives on yesterday and the freights on it yvill carry, at least four or , five car loads of, corn to Goldsboro. ; : j If our dealers would give us all the facts we think We" Tcould make a show ing that Would startle even the natives, But one need not suppose there are for tunes tq be .niade in, this business; tn flirt, j Oar dealers tell us that it has' not been very lucrative thia season,! 6Wmg to the demand being greater than the supply,1 ; It Would' seem that this ought to' make the business' more -profitable but the fact is the dealers are bo anxious to supply their customers that , they run the price up on one another until there is not much rdbm for profits 1 .,'? ' 1 7; v We have -already claimed the King trucker, now we lay claim . t , the best fish market in the South, and if no body contradicts these two 'claims we 'shall go about looking; for something else to boast of.

' Editor Journal: The last issue of the New Berne Banner gays that it has reliable information that the call for a meeting of the Republicans of the Fifth Warcf on the 27th instant was unau thorized by me, and that I had nothing to do with it.

Membership in a Christian-co-opera- tive-asseesment-pass-the-hat-round insu rance borapany,' which does not require medical examinations, may be some evidence of personal regeneration; but it. also establishes the bid saying that "a fool and his money Boon part company. " The grand opening, last Wednesday, of Mrs. A. R. Miller's spring stock of ladies'Lats and other "ladies' toggery" was a complete success.' The ladies crowded the spacious apartments all day long. Many of them there found the "dear darling of a hat," exactly suiting their exquisite taste as well as the condition of their purse. . : The publio pump on Tuckahoe, as well as the one on the court house square, respectfully call on our "city fathers," if we have any, for renovation and improvement. Good water, and a plenty of it, is essential to man and beast, while "cleanliness is regarded as next to godliness," the means to which should not be denied, impaired or ob structed even for a moment of time. Tomorrow is loaded down with the things we intend to do " and. to have. There is no faculty of the soul so over worked as this faculty 'of expectation. If all shall come of the future which we are pouring into it, we shall have a mar vellous world before long. ' The tame sad facts of these days will soon give place to islands of milk and honey and to palaces of Aladdin. When a young man lives in expectation 01 a fortune to come to mm in middle age, now, lor the most part, it utterly ruins his youth, When a man in middle lite dreams of good deeds to be done nometime, load ing the morrow witn nis intentions, how often his rosy future culminates in darkness and storms, and nothing re mains but the dusty shadows of which dreams are made., "By the street called By-and-by you reach a house called Never." - Washington Items.

The Tobacco;' "Rebate. ' The following from . Mr. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, largely interested in the tobacco business, sets up right on an important matter alluded to in Sunday 's Star, in which he states we were led into error: ; r I Please pardott mer but your issue of the 15th contains a statement that I beg to correct. ' Under the Caption,., VThe Rebate-Queries Answered,", yon state upon the authority of your resident U. S. Commissioner that merchants will be paid rebate for stamped stock on hand, May 1st, in either currency or tobacco stamps. ' v .' - , , ,- . In this latler clause you are fn error, as the law provides for paying the rebate to merchants and other dealers in to bacco not manufacturer's- in money only. Every person la entitled to a re bate whose claim amounts to as- much as ten ($10) dollars, provided that 'the goods upon which the manufacturer or dealer is entitled toreDaiemust be care fully inventoried m thefirstdajj of May, 1883, in presence "of two disinterested witnesses, who must be persons of good renute in the community for truth and veraoity, and must not have an interest in any claim for rebate of tax on tobac co, snuff, cigars or cigarettes under the 4th section of the act of March 3, 1883, and must not be clerks or employes pf any claimant under said act."

Star: A white tramp from Harnett county who is apparently somewhat idiotic and who gives his name as John Ivey, was picked up on the streets a day or two ago by the police, and has since been tak en care of at the station house. He was sent on the steamer A. P. Hurt yesterday, with the hope that he will eventually reach his home and mends, or among those who know him and will look alter his welfare. Father Eyan had not left up to late yesterday evening, and we learn that he has been so well contented here, to say nothing of his desire to take a little needful rest, that he has not been m a hurry to resume his journey. Besides hjs friends have been anxious for him to remain as long as possible and have plied their tactics to that end. We hear that the reverend gentleman is much delighted with the elegant floral present made him by the la dies, and talks 01 taking it home with him1 to 1 Mississippi.
