After Mr, v Clark's able speech, Mr. Adolph Cohn i - was called Upon and he made an elabo rate speech on the tariff.

Yesterday evening the Button Engine was taken to the Foster wharf, and in the presence of the Board of Cily Coun cil and many members of the Fire De partment, was tested with tho Silsby Engine on the following points: Quick steaming, and throwing capacity. The first test was one line of hose one hundred feet. At eight minutes past 4 the match was applied, and the little firemen sent up shouts while the older heads stood in breathless silence for the result. In just threo minutes and ten seconds, by the Jocrna u watch, the Button gives water, and the boys fairly go wild with shouts. Anxiously did the friends of tho Silsby look for water, but they knew her time and waited patiently. In five minutes and twenty five seconds, by the Jobbnal watch, she squirted water through the nozzel. When steam was fully up it was noised around that the Silsby was throwing the best stream and this caused her friends to give a whoop, but it was diffi cult to tell from the position occupied by the reporter which was tho best. The contest was quite exciting and highly enjoyed by the large crowd of schoolboys and the future firemen of New Berne. But this test was not so much between the two engines as it was to see if the Button would come up to the guarantee made by the manufacturer. There was no guarantee as to quick steaming, but urely everybody was satisfied on that point. In throwing capacity there was guarantee that it would throw a dis tance of two hundred and fifty feet through one hundred feet of hose; this test was made and it came fullv up to the guarantee, throwing water two hundred and seventy feet. The members of the New Berne Steam Fire Company appear to be well pleased with the test, and was satisfactory to the Board of Councilmen. This engine, the fourth in size made by the Button Fire Engine Company, a cut of which we give at the head of th article, has been given the name of the old engine, ''New Berne." The Com pany will doubtless care for it with that same patriotic pride that always prompted them in their attention to the old one, and will ever be ready to re spond to the call of the fire bell. We noticed one point of excellence in the test yesterday evening, and that was the water came with force at once and kept up a good stream during the entire test Mr. Theo. E. Button, the inventor of the engine, was present and acted as engineer during the test. The time made yesterday was said to be the quickest time on record for any durable build of engine in , the United States. The quick steaming quality is a recent improve ment made by Mr. Button and this is the first engine with the improvement that he has delivered. Another of the same make will be delivered in Trenton, New Jersey, this week, making the third one from, this Company delivered in that city. Commiftee of Reception. At the meeting of the Cleveland and Scales Club last night information was received from Col. Jno. D. Whitford that a special train would be run to Goldsboro on Saturday evening for the purpose of bringing Gen. Scales, Gov, Jaivis and , Hon. D. K. McRae to the city and suggested that the Club appoint a committee to go' and escort them to the city.-4 The following gentlemen were appointed: Col. Jno. D. Whitford Jas. A. Bryan, Philemon Holland, jr, Gen. R. D. Hancock and Dr. Geo Slover. Qn motion, the President of the Club was added to the committee.

Wilson, Clerk. Sonic Grasses of Eastern N. C. (A Letter to tlie Agricultural Editor.) Dear Sib: In the Journal of this week I notice that you speak hopefully of there "being millions in it," when you suggest that crab grass should be cultivated. Now, Mr. Editor, I want to give you some advice about raising grass. And, naving never naa any experience in farming, I am the better qualified for giving advice, uere it is Crab grass is, in some respects, like Nut grass. I have had much experience in raising the latter; and I am satisfied that no man in my county has produced finer crops than mine. I have seen Nut ffrass in mv garden twin and a half fppk high. Once it was thought, by a neigh - bor, to be a field of wheat. . Nut grass is like a mule, it knows ex- actly when not to do it. It has the rare gift of knowing where it is not wanted. and there it grows abundantly. I firmly believe that if you could find any use for this grass, it would vanish from the earth. If you are going to raise Crab grass as a crop, work to eradicate it. Don'tpub- nsh a word about it. Keep daric.

There are now 117 pupils at Kinston uouege and zsa at tne graded school. All the new teachers give satisfaction. The Democrats anticipate a victory in the county at the coming election. We think they have excellent grounds for this nope. The turpentine still here continues in operation, and is turning a good ship load of freight for the steamers when they can come up here.
