No.' 448, Knights of Honor, to-night 1 : "pu kM my dog, I'll kill your cat," - :ls about the political attitude just now. The attacks on the character of Presi dential candidates should stop: it will intimidate aspirants. ' ' -Political parties are hard up for issues . when they have to resort to private ' ' scandals to sway the publio mind. , r ' Rev A. MeCullen, of the M. E. ' " Church, is conducting a very interest ing revival at Asbury in this county." Robert Bonner, of the Ledger, has bought Maud S., of Mr. Vanderbilt, for - $40,000. She has made her mile in 2 9, the fastest: time on record. ' The worms are playing havoc with the grass and millet near the city. They have completely destroyed a fine . patch of millet for Mr. J. L. Rhem. - About four Presidents will march to the White House in March; that is, ao cording to the predictions ef "gentle men well informed in such matters." Blaine has one thing to console him: if he is defeated for the Presidency and , wins his libel suit he gets one year's salary, but if he should win both! good gracious! ,; : - '; Governor Cleveland don't wish to be . his own successor, as President, but it - is hardly fair to himself to decline now four years of Washington City life may - change bis mind. , We hear that Col. Canady's mission to our city on Wednesday last was to harmonize the : Hahn and Stimson fac tions of the Republican party, but made but little headway. The steamer Kmston arrived yester day with - freight and passengers Among the Passengers were Miss Lizzie Gaakins, of Pitt, Misses Mamie Wood 7 and Fannie Carraway, of Monroe. v.; Prof . Daniels visited our new graded school building yesterday evening. He is of the opinion that we are getting a magniflcant building for the price. To . be sure it is not such a building as a wide awake western city would build for instance in his own little town of Boise tit , 3500 inhabitants, they have . erected a building which cost, includ ing furniture and everything complete $105,000. Ours will cost less than ten thousand and with the old building will accommodate about seven hundred pupils. , Personal. - i, ?. V'D.

We learn from parties who were on the excursion party to Washington that the story in regard to the drowning of portion-, of; the tartv while out sailing was a heartless attempt by some one to excite and alarm the friends of the ex cursionists at home. , There was an up setting or something of the sort oc curred, by which one or more boys were thrown into the river, but they were quickly in the boat again, and as it was - near the town it was known to have been no such accident as was wired to Rileigh. S '. -fi- v -' 1 : - ; ; , If the telegram was such as is report ed to us, and directed as stated, it would appear to bear but one interpre tation, and that would be, an attempt to alarm and distress a large number of persons, and a class very susceptible of excitement by. means and a manner highly censurable, - We hope the sender of the telegram may be able to explain the matter in some way that may relieve him of the i. imputation of malicious mischief, and t ' e community of the suspicion of hav i y treated these -visitors in a manner r ate different from the well-deserved putation which the gallant little town ' s for generous hospitality. : t would be a callous community that ' 1 hoar of the drowning of eight of 1 f ;u.on unmoved, and it must be a nan who would telegraph such ua"seil.".. The Jewelry Thief Caught. Policeman Bowden returned from Goldsboro on the freight train yester day with Tom Brimage, col., who is charged w ith - stealing Mr. Cosby 's jewelry on last Monday morning. He sold one of the watches to a gentleman near Tuscarora which has been recov ered. He sold the set of jewelry to a lady near Tuscarora and the other gold watch in Kinston. Hearing that Brimage had gone to Goldsboro and that he had sold this watch at Tus carora, Mr. Bowden boarded the train on Wednesday .morning for Goldsboro. Arriving there he found, by diligent in quiry, that his man had gone to Wil mington on an excuision train. He re turned to Kinston on the down mail and gained further information about his conduct while there, returning to Golds boro on the up freight. About mid night the excursion train returned from Wil mington, and a while aftsrwards Mr. Bowden learned that Brimage had also returned. Early yesterday morn ing he began searching Goldsboro for his man and soon espied him walking down railroad street. ' Taking a train of cars on him he quickened his pace and got near enough to beckon a police man who headed him off and he fell an easy prey to policeman Bowden. When asked by Mr. Bowden when he left New Berne, he replied : "last Saturday." "What have you done with Mr. Cosby 's jewelry?" asked Mr. Bowden, "I have been in Goldsboro for three weeks, and can prove it," replied Brim age. Since arriving at Crayen street Hotel we understand he confesses having had the jewelry but says ho bought it from some one else. Just to Think. Yesterday morning on "the corner" a debate arose about the day of the month One said it was the 23d, another said it was the 21st. Argument ran into bets $5,000 was up that it was the 21st, no taker putting in an additional $5,000, making $10,000 was put up but so high you could see it and still the 23d man would neither give up nor put up. And finally a resort to the Journal to prove the correct date was decided upon and the paper brought out. And' just to think that in the whole history of the paper a mistake in the day of the month has never occurred before, and yet sure as taxos there it was August the 23d. Now but few of our readers probably noticed it, and but few would have been inconvenienced by it, but just sup pose that $10,000 bet had been made, and suppose that mistake had caused a hitch in that bet ? Well, we think now we would as soon be Shoemaker's Indiana Sentinel with the libel suit and all the Blaines in Maine after us, as to have encountered these "betters. " Kinston litems. The Kinston Iron Bridge Company have ratified the contract of their agent with our county commissioners, to build an iron bridge over Neuse river below Kinston. The bridge is to be completed by the first of next January, The friends of J. C. Carter of La Grange claim that he received the nom ination for the House of Representatives last Saturday, getting fifteen out of the thirty delegates. This claim is set up probably on the ground that "half a loaf " is enough for a legislator. Jacob F. Parrott, Esq., our enterpris ing townsman, is haying a bridge built over Neuse river at the foot of Caswell street in Kinston. Bridge builder Jef freys is in charge of its construction, When the bridge is completed Parrott 's land will be at least two miles nearer the town. It was anticipated that during the ex- citement in the convention last Satur day Capt. Pope would precipitate our mayor from the large window of the court house. The mayor, however, says if it had come to that he would have known how to make an easy fall, the Yankees having several years ago taught him to oounce and catcu like a cat. The Teachers' Institute, under the ef- ficient management of Captain bird, our county superintendent of publio in struction, opened here last Monday with very flattering prospects. About fifty names, all experienced teachers in the common schools, were enrolled by Tuesday night. Teachers and visitors to come to the cause of public education from these meetings. Miss Chadwick, of the New Berne graded scnool, gave some useful and interesting lessons in map-drawing to the Institute. John F. Wooten. Esq., of Kinston, delivered an interesting address before the school Tuesday night, showing the interest North Carolina has manifested in the cause of popular education since the days of Gov, Caswell, as well as the great progress made in this direction of late years, me push and interest uapt, Bird has brought to his work as county superintendent is now bringing out a class of superior teachers for our com mon schools, which must place them on a solid and useful basis Don't fill the system with quinine in the effort to prevent or cure Fever and Ague. Ayer's Ague Cure is a far more potent preventive and remedy, with the advantage of leaving in tho body nq poisons to produce dizziness, deafness, headache, and other disorders.. "The proprietors warrant it. The Blaine Libel Suit. The suit ordered by James G. Blaine against the Sentinel is an entertaining one. It is the first of the kind ever brought by a candidate for the Presi dency. Its precipitation is extraordin ary. The grounds on which it is brought are flimsy. The manner of its bringing makes it an attempted injunction a threat by implication against any printing by the press of the current scandal concerning his private life. A reading of the editorial sued upon shows that the charge of malice 1b ridiculous. The reports it referred to are not only common talk thrououghoutthe country, but have heretofore also been printed. The article really constituted but an in quiry. Does Mr. Blaine shrink from newspaper investigation in his private record? was he sure when ordering the legal action that it would be de termined before election day? Could he not have found a speedier way for proving the reports against him un foundedif unfounded they be? The truth is, Mr. Blaine, under the mask of inviting, is fighting investigation. He invokes the tardv processes of civil law by an action intended to deter the press from discussing his private life. He calls electricity to his aid to hurry the suit ior mgntemng other papers from exposing him. It is a proceeding worthy ui wio man wuu stoie me mulligan let ters. Indianapolis Sentinel.

Extreme secrecy is main tained by the authorities regarding the trial and disposition of the prisoners The Diario officially publishes the full revolutionary proclamation seized at Jordan 'a house. There are many strong points in it against the existing admin istration.

Dr. York Badly Taken Down. In the discussion at King's creek on Tuesday, Dr. York had the wind com Dletelr taken out of bis sails bv a little Wilkes countryman. The "muleback" candidate was abusing Hendricks with all his power, pouring out vials of wrath and vituperation on the Indiana states man, when a little : Wilkes county Dem ocrat back in the crowd asked him if be didn't vote for Hendricks in "T6. York was completely non-plussed. ,At first he attempted to deny voting for him but after squirming and twisting said he "reckoned if Hendricks was on the ticket with Tilden he maybe voted for him."
