Preparatory to the Holiday recess the Panel has been unusually busy closing up the year '8 work. . ; The Scientific Committee mado a re port and stated vast advances in that department within the current year. It was stated that Mr. Edison, the elec trician, had announced his ability to take the shivers out of whiskey by intro ducing a candescent of electricity into a barrel of that luxury, whereby it could be made twenty years old in a few minutes, which was receivod with applauso, and the committee instructed to correspond with hira nt once and to know if he could bring the thing down to the capacity of pocket flask, and at what cost for a dozen. It was also stated that President Arthur bad by means of the same fluid electricity, not whiskey set the machinery of the Ex position at work in New Orleans, and the Panel is anxious to know if the machinery is anything like that which President Grant started down there in 1870, which worked bo badly for the Democrats and turned out a President not of their choice. It was suggested as a matter of Po litical Economy that Mr. Cleveland have wires attached to all the grind stones in the country after his inaugu ration, so that cross-road politicians can grind their axes without going to Wash ington, by aid of the same executive power. The city debt was brought to the at tention of the Panel, and it was referred to a committee of Senators Mahone and Riddleberger and Secretary McCullough for adjustment or readjustment as they think best, with a recommendation to advise creditors if they can't let the debt stand as it is, they had better let it run a few years. The President's Cabinet has been at last seleoted by the Panel, but for pru dential reasons will not be made public for fear of Guiteaus and other casual ties. It was designed to put the infor mation in the stockings otthe fortunate parties with Santa Claus presents at Christmas, but for the reason above given they will go out as Valentines on the 14th of February, so expectant statesmen need not hang up but one pair at the-former date. -. The Panel wish, in offering their Christmas compliments to the people, to congratulate them upon the prom ising prospects of the coming year as one with more change than any for a quarter of a century, and also upon the development of new industries daily springing up, especially that of office- seeking; this requires but little capital and is within the reach of all who may wish to engage in it. : Besides this there is a new and as yet untried industry that may be engaged (n by our people, that-is, raising hog's bristles. " All shoemakers use them, and we are now dependent upon Russia for the best article, and they are obtained at great ' cost of transportation, which doubtless adds to the cost of boots and shoo. Bristles are easily cultivated, not difficult to house, and the animal upon which they grow can be easily disposed of in any of the western cities, where it is packed for cooking purposes on a large scale. In fact it is " said that any well-fed hog will raise his own bristles by merely exciting him with the presence of a dog, Returning for the Holidays:. ' Our young gents and Misses who have been absent from the city attending school are returning for the holidays We note as having already arrived Misses Mamie' Allen; Sadie llollister Annie Berry and Carrie Rhem from ; Peace Institute; Messrs, Henry R.

Richardson takes us to task for stating in yesterday's Jour nal that the train was three-quarters of an hour late on Thursday night. He says he was only eighteen minutes late and this was caused by waiting for the arrival of the Northern ... mail before leaving GoldBboro. We beg 'to assure tho Captain that we did not mention his being lato in a spirit of grumbling, but merely as an itom of news for it is news for the mail train on the A. & N G. R. to be behind timo -and we re gret that we were not more correct in noting the time, having missed it just twenty-seven minutes. We appreciate the motive that prompted the Captain to wait for the Northern mail. Envelopes anil business cards printed in good style and cheap at tho Journal ouoe. . The lion. Marshal Parks at Harlowe. Editor Journal: Mr. Parks, the President of the New Berne & Beanfort Canal Company, accompanied by Judge Clarke, of your city, came to Harlowe last Wednesday to visit the dredging in terest of the Canal Company. Arriving on the steamer Swan about noon, he in spected the great amount of work done by his efficient and thorough going manager, Capt. K. jj. Buckner, when, accompanied by Capt. Buckner, they took a small boat and off they went to the work on the creek of the government, under the contract and management of Mr. Thos. P. Morgan, who, up to this time, has done but little but experiment, but who is now equipped for the work as their more suitable machine has ar rived. They now have two machines on the work and will evidently go for ward an rignt. ihe day now being nearly spent, the party repaired to the home of our Mr. R. W. Bell, where they were enabled to enjoy the comforts of the night and a pleasant converse upon the canal, etc. wnen after breakfast they, accompa nied by Mr. Bejl, revisited the dredging machine on the canal, from mhenoe they took their seats in the steamer Swan, accompanied by Capt. Buckner and several of the citizens of Harlowe who bad a little business at New Berne and who desired to .take the trip with them, which, after a short run of about three hours, were safely tied at the Old Dominion wharf in your city witn all oi the difficulties which this work has encountered since it was be gun by Mr. Parks and his colleagues it has gone steadily forward and Mr. Parks is hopeful of his ultimate success both in his and the government's opening the creeks, as it must do to make the canal of value to the company and to the people. Mr. Parks has proven a great benefactor and it seems to us that his efforts have not been properly apprecia ted and the indifference of our Repre sentatives in Congress has greatly de terred his progress, as they have mani fested no interest in the opening of the creeks, which, if appropriations, had been made as to enable it to keep pace with the canal work, then Mr. Parks has been ready to put other machines on the canal so as to expedite its comple tion, but with their indifference such a course would have been unwise. But we hope now that the work has so ad vanced, and the necessities of the work are so plain that our noble Representa tives will no longer treat this inland navigation improvement with such in- dinerence but will at this session oi Congress plead for at least fifty thous and dollars to be appropriated for the opening of the outlets to this canal, which, when spent and the work is completed, will redown to the great ad vantage of the people at large as all parts or the country are interested in such an enterprise as this. The canal will be navigable for small boats by the first ot January but cannot be used on account of the dredging machine on the government work in its outlet in Har lowe creek. Yours with hope, Car. T. Ret. Harlowe. N. C. Dec. 17, 1884. LETTER FROM RALEIGH. Searching tho Dusty Records A His torlau Wanted. - IRaleioh, Dec. 18. I have just returned from the Capital and a peep into the legislative halls, which, with tho rest of the building, have been thoroughly cleaned for the incoming Governor jand Legislature Both halls have been newly, carpeted, desks scraped and varnished, and the walls washed with carbolio soap; but legislators must not raise their eves to the ceiling, where the stains of past years are still visible. Mr. Roberts begged hard for money enough to make the job complete, and not only clean the building but put up new curtains, but did not get it; the great heighth of the ceiling renders scaffolding neces sary, which his limits would not allow; indeed he has done well with the money he had, and it is to be hoped the legis lature will make an appropriation which will enable him to finish. Viewed in this light perhaps the legislators had better "look aloft." Contrary tocus torn the Governor will not be inaugu- rated on New Year's my: the pro gramme is for both houses to be organ ized first, which will take two weeks at least, so it will be after the 15th of January before Governor Scales takeB his seat. As to who will be Speaker of the House, opinions are so various I can only treat you, as a gentleman no, on reflection, it was a lady is said to have done a correspondent who wrote to her to send him the names of the members spoken of for Speaker; he re ceived by return mail a copy of the News and Observer with a list of the members' names, a mark being drawn through those of the Republican mem bers. All the rest were "prominent candidates." Capt. J. L. Robinson's name might also have been marked out, as I understand he says, as if he meant it, that under no circumstances will he be a candidate for any office. I have been at work in the Capitol for the last few days "sarchin' o' de records honey," as old "Aunt Abby" House used to say oi her lawyers. : A letter from Gen. Nathaniel Greene to Gov. Burke is wanted, and cannot be found, though I find Gov. Burke's re ply to it. On a wrapper to a parcel of papers hunted up for me by Mr. Black ner; the Governor's acting secretary since Capt. Dudley's death, we found a statement that it contained letters from 1768 to 1816, "taken from the State House in Raleigh during the rebellion by the adjutant-general of the U. S. in 1865." IN o reason is given for taking these par ticular papers; it must have been done by some antiquarian devoid of a con science, who probably wanted auto graphs, and wo concluded that Gen. Greeno'a letter, which was written in August, 1781, was probably among tn spoils captured irom "tue Kebeia.v My thanks are due to Mr. Blackmer for his assistance, and interest in my work, he made a thorough search though I am sorry to say a fruitless one. for Governor Nash's letter-book. Whether it was also taken as the spoils of war or is mislaid, no one knows. At the suggestion of Gov. Jams, who thought Col. Saunders might have bor rowed it, I went to the office of the Sec retary of State. Very different was my reception there; Col. Saunders was con fined to his room, and the young gen tleman in charge stopped my first en quiry with the very decided answer, de livered in the blandest and most dulcet tones, "that he neither knew, nor in tended ever to know anything whatever about those musty old records. ' ' I con fess after my first day's work, I was not surprised at his voluntary ignorance. liike "Aunt Abby, ' who, when she wanted anything "was 'er going to get it, II she had to eo into President Davis' bed-chamber after it." Finding Col. Saunders was not confined to his bed, but only to his private office, I ventured to can on nim there and came away deeply impressed with a sense of what the State of. North Carolina owes him for his untiring and judicious exertions to collect, classify and preserve her his torical records, uonnned to an invalid s rolling chair he, from it, stretches out his hand, not only over the United States, but to the records of England, and gathers in the past history of our State. ' He showed me a pamphlet con taining the titles only of the various documents he has got from England, which will be printed for the State Library, where it is to be hoped that some one, competent to do bo, will from them, and other sources, write a history of North Carolina which will banish from every library in the State that miserable hasoo called "Moore's Historv of North Carolina." Gov. Holden has shown up some of its misstatements. I will only here record one of its omissions. In his list of the prominent lawyers resident, at the time of which he is writing, in Raleigh he omits altogether the name or jar. Thomas r. Devereux, wno was not only u, s. District At torney, but Reporter of the Supreme Court, and from his reports is probablv better known out of North Carolina than any other lawyer of his day in it. M. B. C. St. Anthony's Fire. ' Mr. W. S. Jones, a well-to-do farmer who lives four miles from Elberton, Ga., is highly esteemed by all who know him. lie is 73 years old, and is a conservative man is by no means an enthusiast on any subject, yet he says to a reporter: '1 am satisfied that I would not be alive to-day if it had not been for Swift's Specific. About thirty years ago I broke out with what the doctors called St. Anthony's Fire. Under medical treatment I got temporary relief, but soon the same disease or a very similar one broke, out in a more aggravated form. The doctors gave it another name and treated me so that the eruption dis appeared for a time, but the effects of the medicine were worse than the dis ease itself (the effect of potash and mer cury mixtures is always bad), when shortly afterward a much worse type of tne same disease broke out. I became satisfied that the potash mixtures I had taken had merely driven the disease further into my system and blood,. mak ing almost a wreck of me. I repeated ly changed medical advisers, all to no purpose. 1 continued to grow worse and weaker. Atregnlar intervals this dreadful skin disease would break out afresh, each time in a more intensified form. . For a year I was bedridden, and naa to give up looking after mv bust ness entirely. About a year ago l was advised by a friend to take Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) With the first bottle my general health began to improve. The Swift's Specific drove out the poisoned Diooa which tne potash mixtures had driven into my system. I broke out in pimples and blotches when the poison was coming out. These all soon passed away. The medicine at once gave me new hope, my spirits rose, my general health unproved in every way. Mv di gestion, which had been so injured by tne use oi tne potash mixtures, was rapidly improved by Swift's Specific, and for the first time in years I enjoyed my food. My appetite increased, and I continued to gain strength and flesh un til I weigh more than I have in forty years, and reel as naie and hearty as J did when 1 was a boy. The Swift's Spe cifio has benefited me in every way. and I know it has added several years to my me. wnue i am 73 years old. and therefore living on borrowed time, I feel that a new career is before ma. No amount of money could purchase from me the years that have been added to my life by this valuable medicine. I hope yon will publish this that others. and particularly old people, may know oi tne value oi this remedy. Dr. M. M. Carr, druggist, and Messrs. Swift Bros. merchants, at Elberton, know me well and are familiar with my sickness, and tne wonderful relief l have had from the use of Swift's Specific." our Treatise on Blood and SkmDis eases mailed free to applicants. swift's ispecino Co., Drawer 3, Atlan ta, ua.
