Aro Mechanics Looked Down Upon
Socially I ; :
Editor Jouunal: Undisputed asser
tions often pass for truth, when entirely
wanting m that characteristic. Bucn, 1
think, is the often repeated one that
mechanics are looked down upon in
social circles.
In a recent issue of the News and Ob
server I see a communication from "H."
regretting that such is the case, while I
think the fact js entirely absont. -
New Berne was Once called the Athens
of North Carolina, for the reason of the
culture and refinement of her people.
This distinction was not self -arrogated,
but was accorded by all who came in
contact with the people thus dis
tinguished. Rev. Dr. Mason, of Ral
eigh, who at one time lived here, said
only a few years before his death that
when he came to New Berne, in 182S,
ho found the most refined and cultivated
people that he had ever met; and his
testimony was the more important be
cause himseli an englishman, highly
educated, was thoroughly competent to
Judge Of such matters, and withal he
came here from the atate of New York,
which has had many advantages in
that line.-
The Doctor further said that up to the
beginning or the late war there was a
striking radiance of that refinement and
culture visible to him whenever he
visited the place. As was not unreason-
able in him he traced this condition of
society back to the colonial establish
ment of Governor Tryon, who he said,
whatever delects he might nave pos'
sessed, was undoubtedly a man of cul
tivated taste and drew around him per'
sons of such refinement and culture as
had permeated the whole social fabric
of the community and given indisput
able title to the high position assigned
it.
As long communications are not often
read, I will stop here, and endeavor in
mv next to show that during the period
anuded to, and on down to the present
that the mechanics of the city have borne
an honorable position in the social
structure. C

Oh, such weather! But why say this?
because we couldn't better it; but really
the weather is very bad; one day rain
and the next dayfreeze and blow, great
guns. The farmers are very busydO'
ing nothing, and we are afraid if some
good weather don't come along soon
somebody will get hungry next year
in the country, we mean. We ;folks
here don't often get hungry; we get
fish, clams, oysters and crabs without

get, dried concha for instance; they lay
on one s stomach very well.

Saturday last was a real dull, rainy
day in Trenton; plenty of people present
but very little trade.
Eggs have taken a sudden tumble,
merchants here are paying 15 cents per
dozen; hams, 10 cents per pound; lard,
10 cents, corn, 50 cents per bushel.
Not very much sickness in our vicin
ity now. Some are suffering with
colds. Mr. Thos. Harrison is yet alive
but must certainly die in a few days as
he has not ate nor drank anything but
water for the last 12 days.
Mr. Thos. J. Whitaker has faith in
the future of Trenton and is.ezhibiting
it by building new stores. He put up
one last year and has the frame of an
other up along by the side of it. He
is also preparing timbers to build a fine
dwelling opposite Mr. Joseph Smith's
dwelling.
The farmers say that the weather has
been so cold they have been unable to
do 'anything scarcely but! ret firewood,
and if the weather don't moderate
shortly they will get badly behind with
their farm operations. The weather is
causing a rough time with those whose
families are dependent on their daily
wages for their support.
Mr. F. M. Pate, of Trenton, captured
a white shad in the Trent on the 3d of
February earlier than ever known in
our river.- The capture of this shad has
set the net men to work making huge
preparations. The merchants, too, have
caught the idea. Nearly every store has
its bull of net twine suspended in
conspicuous position warning fisher
men that the fish time is nigh at hand.
The merchants of Trenton are very
particular how they sell goods on time
this season, kittle yeaning crop mort
gages hare had their day. The most of
the merchants are demanding real
estate mortgages, which excludes a large
class of our citizens who are no longer
running farms of their own, but are
either working on shares of the crop or
for wages. This change, in the opinion
of many of our best citizens, is the be
ginning of a better time, as it will cause
our farms to be better cultivated. Mere
tofore it has been impossible for our
farmers and land-owners to command
labor, as the laborers could, bt mort
gaging, secure teams and supplies to
carry on their own farms and work
when and where they pleased; often
times by bad management and careless'
ness they would not make enough to
pay for their supplies. It is hoped that
the present change may prove a bless
ing to both by the farms being better
cultivated, and in the end bring about
more prosperous ' time. I saw in the
Journal a few days ago that Mr, Ed
wards had given you a receipe for hard
times pay cashTJr its equivalent -for
what we buy. . We areand have been
using it up here tho during the whole
winter, as it is impossible to do other
wise. Our merchants don't sell goods
unless they can get a real estate mort
gage or the real cash. We are begin'
ning to like it too, as it prevents us
from buying just such articles as we do
not need. We now buy but little and
make that little suffice. All we need
now is to be blessed with good seasons
sufficient to raise a good crop, and with
this, paying as we go will cause the
crop at gathering time to be ours.

"No," said a Vermont deacon, "I
don't approve of horse racin', but when
another member of the church becomes
so godless as to try to pass me on the
road comin' home from meetm', t feel
it my duty to let out a little on the
reins, just to keep him from puttin' his
trust in earthly things."
Considerable commotion was caused
among the clerks in the Post Office at
Vincennes, Ind., recently over a pecu
liar noise issuing from a mail bag,
which upon being opened was found to
contain a large gray eagle. It came
from the West, and is supposed to have
been captured by the route agents.
Lord Charles Beresford has justified,
in the rescue of the Wilson party, the
prediction that if any hot work in the
shape of brisk fighting was to be done
in the Soudan, he would be a conspicu
ous figure. This nobleman, a brother of
the Marauis of Water ford, has gained a
notoriety as a daredevil, and is deter
mined to maintain it.
A French writer ascribes to Sarah
Bernhardt much of the demoralization
now existing in French social life. He
charges her with having inaugurated
the passion for strange abnormal char
acters, thrilling stories about the pri
vate lives of actresses, and the craving
for sensation of every kind. It is fair
to add that France was by no means
destitute of this sort of thing before the
famous sarah trod the stage.
Crocker's fence is one of the sights of
San Francisco. When Charles Crocker'
the partner of Stanford, Hopkins, and
Huntington, of the Central Pacific Rail
road and a man worth many millions,
bought his residence property on Can
fornia street; he met with considerable
opposition from a property holder on
Sacramento street, urocker had ac
quired the entire block with the excep
tion or a single lot on the Sacramento
street side. The owner of this lot de
manded an extra fair price for it, which
Crocker agreed to give. Then the price
was doubled, and Crocker accepted the
raise. Again and again was the avaric
ious seller satisfied, until patience ceased
to be a virtue. The railroad magnate
got his mad up and sent word, "Tell
him to i ." Crocker built his house.
laid out the grounds with rare good
taste, and then "fenced in" his co-ten
ant on the block. He built a fence fifty
feet high on three sides of the house on
Sacramento street. Only the front view
remained unimpaired, and, as Sacra
men to street, is very narrow, tho front
view is not a matter to care much for
The owner of the house soon sickened
of his bargain and removed it bodily
away, out Crocker's fence remains.
