surprise when at the head of the column
vras the announcement that "Superior

bolow it, "Mr. Pinkney Arthur hm

Departure of Welcome VUltors.
Messrs. A. S. Rockwell and Geo. N.
Newberry, of Troy, Pennsylvania, have
been spending a few days in the city
and left on the Shenandoah yesterday
on their return home. They are among
tbe gentlemen who purchased a farm a
few miles from the city of Capt. S. H.
Gray last winter. This is their first
visit to this section and they are well
pleased with their purchase. From
what we could gather from them in a
conversation at the Gaston House, we
think they intend making a stock farm
of it in the near future. Such lands as
they see down here they say will bring
fifty to seventy-five dollars per acre in
their settlement without any trouble.
Why should there be so much differ
ence in the price of lands here and in
Pennsylvania? This is a question for
our people to study; but we think Mr
Newberry gave us the proper solution
when he said, "You need ten -thrifty
white farmers where you have one."
Then the next question is, how shall we
get them? We must convince them that
lands are cheap; that the soil is fertile;
that the climate is mild; that schools
and churches are fostered; that they
will be welcomed by the better class of
our people, and finally that an invest
ment in our lands will be safe and
profitable.
In our few minutes' conversation
with Messrs. Rockwell and Newberfy
we were impressed with their gentle'
manly deportment and intelligence
about farm matters. We learn that
they are men of large means, and will
sometime during the present year pre
pare to improve the farm they have
purchased in this vicinity. We extend
a hearty wolcome to all such visitors
We have room for many of them.
Memorial to tbe General Assembly.
At a meeting of the members of the
New Berne Bar. held at the office of
Simmons & Manly, February 27th, 1885.
for the purpose of preparing a memorial
to the General Assembly asking that
Craven county be placed in a district
with the counties contiguous thereto,
the following memorial was adopted
and on motion, the Secretary instructed
to furnish a copy of it to the New Berne
Journal and Raleigh News and Observe1"
and request the same to be published:
New Berne, N. C, Feb. 27, 1885.
To the Honorable, the General Assembly
of Worth Carolina:
The undersigned members of the bar
resident in the City of New Berne, and
practicing in the adjoining counties
respectfully represent to your honorable
con y,
That tor many years past the county
of Craven has been isolated from the
counties adjacent and placed in a judic
lai district no county oi wmcn adjoins
the said county of Craven.
That the interests and convenience of
the people, and members of the bar,
living in Craven county and counties
surrounding it, require that the same
rule shall govern the laying off of
judicial district, in this section of the
State, as in other sections.
That wo are now in a district the peo
ple of which have no business relations
with us.
That, for reasons unnecessary to men
tion, and which we respectfully sub
mit, ought not to govern the General
Assembly, in laying off judicial dis
tricts, our interests and constitutional
rights have been disregarded and sacri
ficed and the spectacle presented, of
three judicial districts within a dozen
miles of the City of New Berne, includ
ing the one in which said city is located
A judicial circuit of itself implies
contiguity of the counties composing it,
, We have learned that notwithstand
ing the fact that three new districts are
to be made, it is contemplated to ignore
our rights and interests as citizens of
the State, and again place ns in a dis
trict tbe nearest county of which to us
is, by the usual route of travel, more
than one hundred miles distant.
Against all of which we respectfully
protest and ask that we may be accorded
the same privileges and rights that are
enjoyed by the people in other counties
of North Carolina.
Give us a circuit composed of adjoin'
ing counties. . i.-
AU of which is respectfully submit
ted.

The Proper Move.
Tbe meeting of the members of the
bar, the proceedings of which we pub
lish in this issue, was timely and proper.
We can not believe the members of the
General Assembly-will take the advan
tage of the taxpayers ofrCraven county
because they have no one there to speak
for them, and inflict such a wrong upon
them as will be done if the" judicial dis
tricts are laid off as the scheme pub
lished in the Observer of yesterday
proposes. We see no necessity for it in
the world only to prevent the election
of Republican solicitors in two or three
districts. In tbe name of justice and
common sense let the districts be laid off
for the convenience of the people. It is
better to let Republican solicitors be
elected in a half dozen districts than to
inflict this wrong upon our people. Our
business relations with the peo
ple of Carteret, Onslow, Jones
Pamlico. and . Lenoir make
it - necessary that we . should
be in one judicial district. If the ob
ject be to make Democratio districts, it
can easily be done with Craven and
counties adjoining. Craven, Carteret,
Jones, Onslow, Lenoir, Duplin and
Pamlico will make a Democratio die
trict of counties contiguous to each
other. a-. . .-
Perhaps if is well that we say to the
General Assembly that the bar of New
Berne is a unit on this question, and
the members are in earnest. It is right
that their memorial should be favorably
considered by the General Assembly
because it xs right. But if put upon
party grounds, the Democratic members
of the New Berne bar are entitled to
consideration, for no set of men in the
State worked harder for the Democratio
cause, not only in this county, but in
the adjoining counties where they have
influence, than they. Why place Craven
county in a judicial district one hun
dred miles distant with two judicial
districts intervening? Will the mem
bers of the Assembly examine the map
and see what they are doing?
THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
New Orleans, Feb. 22, 1885,
!ditor op Journal:
"Now, bv two-headed Janus!
Nature hath framed Bonie strange fel
lows in ner time;
Some of suoh vinegar aspect that ther
would not snow tneir teeth, by way or
merriment,
Though Nestor, himself, should swear
the jest were laughable.
And otners who evermore will peep
turo' tneir eyes
And laugh like monkeys at a bag-piper,
Shakspeabe.
With dilettante devotion I still remain
at the Exposition, "a looker on in Vi
enna," unable to tear myself away, ob
serving fresh beauties every day, and
practising the Horatian precept, carpe
diem, credula quam minime postero; de
termined to squeeze tne lemon to the
last drop.
If my last letter had not been so long
I would have described to you one of
the pleasantest evenings I have spent
ror a long time an evenine ions and
pleasantly to be remembered, and which
deserves to be marked with a white
stone in my calendar.
A few evenings ago, strolling through
the grounds, 1 met with Tom Powers
and Tom Matthews, who proposed, as it
was near tne time oi closing, that we
should go to tne JNorth Carolina Exhibit
and get Tom Clarke, and return to the
city by steamboat. So we went and
found but few persons in that part of
tne Duiiding. we saw Tom (Jlarke con
versing with an Asiatic I say saw the
conversation, lor nuie was said; and
here let me explain that Tom Clarke
some years ago, spent some time at the
New York Institute of the Deaf and
Dumb, where his brother Frank is head
teacher, and he (Tom) is an excellent
pantomimist. Tom snowed the visitor
who was a Siamese, North Carolina on
the map. He then pointed out its length
and breadth. He told, by signs, of
Hatteras and its numerous shipwrecks
of the fish, and water fowls, and point
ed to the specimens. He described our
swamps, and their products, rice and
corn, and showed specimens of our
marl and described its use. He then
described the. upper' country, and its
productions, cotton, tobacco, wheat, rye,
oats and corn, grapes and various fruits
He showed him the various minerals
gold, silver, copper,' lead iron, corun
dum, graphite, tin, coal, mica, and the
gems jasper, ruby, sapphire, carneliau
emerald. Hiddenite, amethyst, and dia
mond. Siamese seemed greatly inter
ested in the specimens of tin ore, and
informed us that it was very abundant
in bis country, and that they exported
vast quantities of it. He pointed to
Tom's alligator, and signified that they
were very numerous in Siam, and that
the people ate them and thought them
very good eating. He laughed a silvery
and musical laugh over Jim Rideout's
game cock with his gaffs on, and said
they fought cocks a good deal in Siam
and that he enjoyed it, and thought the
cock a very fine specimen. . He stood
slightly bent forward, with one of his
little feet advanced in an easy attitude,
his head slightly turned to the left, and
looked up at lorn with his bright,
black, almond-Bhaped.eyes very intelli
gently. His long, shapely hands were
crossed on bis bosom, and we observed
and admired his taper fingers with their
long nails, evidently curelully trimmed
and cared for,, which were dyed a dark
Vermillion color. As Tom nroceeded in
bis discourse he would nod his head and
smile pleasantly, and "his smile was
child-like and bland," and he would
exclaim ahey-brooks and vssey-no. Th
The first seemed an expression of atten
tion equivalent to "I listen and under
stand, and the latter to signify assent.
He did not readily catch our names.
There being so many Toms, he may
have thought them equivalent to the
Portuguese dom (lord), and he addressed
Tom Clarke as Tow Clock, Tom Powers
as Tow Pooese; but Tom Matthews'
name was a stunner to him, and he
called him Tow Mossuse. Matthews'
height and size seemed to make a deep
impression on him. He addressed each
of us with the prefix haja, which Clarke
says means lord, or high gentleman.
lie alluded to himself as haja Krummen
Toploff; but Clarke says that he don't
think that is his name, but that it is
some military title, perhaps major-general.
Our friend was about five feet
four inches high, well-formed, and all
his actions were singularly graceful and
well-possessed. Jtlis color was a rich.
clear olive. His hair was very black
and silky; it was parted in the middle,
and he wore a long plaited queue which
reached the small of his back. His
moustache was carefully trimmed,
waxed at the ends and turned up, and
he had a goatee on his chin. He was
evidently a man of culture and educa
tion, and having heard that the Chinese,
Burmhese and Malay educated men are
instructed in Sanscrit, as our boys are
in Latin, I quoted to him a sentence
from the Vedra to the effect that
"friendship is the elixir of life." He
comprehended it immediately, and re
plied witn anotner sentence to tne effect
that "friendship removes the stones
from the pathway of life." I am sorry
to say that the American phajar's San
scrit gave out tnere, and he was com
pelled to maintain a discreet silence. I
will further mention that I discovered
that he was a Royal-Arch Mason. I
must attempt to give you an idea of his
dress, which was very rich and unique.
and must have cost a good deal. His
hat was composed of some kind of very
fine straw, it had a wide brim, and a
dodecahedrio cone surmounted by a
large purple button, with a largo blue
silk cord hanging down on each side,
with a large yellow tassel at the end
He wore slippers made of some kind of
grass, the back parts being of dark cloth
embroidered, the toes were broad and
round, the heels high and colored red.
His stockings were heavy flesh-colored
silk. His inner pantaloons were of
heavy white silk and very wide; over
them was another pair also of very
heavy silk of a dark blue color, which
reached below the calf of his leg. His
shirt was of the finest cambric, with
full sieves, and narrow wristbands con
fined by jewelled buttons. He wore an
orange-colored vest with a great manv
small silver buttons, buttoning high up;
nuu uver uiat a aiuu ui luuic OI aars
mue biik, ana sieeres or wnicn came
below the elbow. Over this was a kind
of dressing gown, lilac-colored, and
figured with umber-colored leaves and
a delicate pink-colored vine. This had
a black edging, and it had a round
pointed tail which extended below his
knees. He wore a yellowish belt em
broidered with a pink, vine. The clasp
looked like embossed cold, but Clarke
said it was a kind of metal composed of
tin principally, winch is more valuable
than gold. It had the device of a ser
pent. From tbe belt hung by golden
chains a long and wide dagger whiclfoa30c
they call a kms, the metal of which is
said to be equal to the celebrated Da-
mascus steel. It bad no guard. The
scabbard was gold with jewels set
thickly over it, the handle was turquoise
and was also studded with sparkling
gems. After the talk, he stood awhile
as if in deep thought, when he balanced
himself on his left leg, and put
ting nis rignt nana on the
side of his forehead, kicked back
his right leg and bowed to
bis knee. Tom Clarke stretched his
legs wide apart, bowed his head between
his knees, and when he became erect
placed his thumb under his nose and
extended his fingers. This was done
with the utmost gravity on both sides,
and you may imagine with what diffi
culty we restrained our laughter. Then
Siamese gave us a sweeping bow and
walked off five or Bix steps, then he
wheeled and came back, and bowing to
us gave the universal "hailing-8ign" for
a drink, and said "go. " We caught the
idea and bowed assent. We went to
one of the stands where they dispense
beer and wines, and he called for harez
bot, which the attendant seemed to un
derstand to mean a bottle of pale sherry.
He gave us each a nice wine glass, for
in New Orleans they would as soon
drink' wine out of a gourd as a tumbler.
After Siamese emptied his glass he
turned it bottom up, This we did at the
second round, which seemed to give
him great satisfaction. Having paid for
the wine, from a well-filled purse, he
bowed, and went off with a gliding step,
which seems necessary to keep the slip
pers he wears from falling off. Tom
Matthews watched him until he got out
of sight, and then turning to us said,
"that is a d d nice fellow, he is a gen
tleman, if he is yallow." The solemnity
and heartiness with which he said this
called forth boisterous laughter. Then
we went down' to the wharf and got
aboard a steamer and went to tho city.
Landing at the foot of Canal street, we
agreed to go to Laurent's (French) res
taurai t, and get supper and dinner
combined, for we had only lunched at
the grounds. Akler.

Delicate Women,
1 have been using for a month or two
in my household Swift's Specific, the
greater portion of it having been con
sumed by the female portion of my
family, and with the happiest results.
It acted like a charn on my wife, who
had been in bad health for a long time,
and for whQm I had paid hundreds of
dollars for doctors and medieines. It
began to build her up from the first
dose. Another, female member of my
family took it up with equally satisfac
tory results. It is certainly the best
tonic for delicate ladies that I haye ever
used, and I have tried them all. I have
no doubt that want of exercise, close
confinement in poorly ventilated houses,
sewer gas poison and malarial poison
often produce sickness among our
wives, daughters and sisters, and I be
lieve Swift's Specific is the remedy for
all this sort of blood poisoning. I know
many of the best families of this county
are using it for this purpose, and I have
never known or heard of any failure to
give entire satisfaction. I have known
the remedy a long time.' I know it to
be entirely vegetable, and the best tonic
and alterative, especially for females. .

No remedy seemed to do her any rood

will make, beyond a doubt, more cotton
than any cotton planted or ever was

The Jones Cotton has, also, long limbs,
beginning to branch at or near the

cotton in storms, yet not hard to pick
out. Short jointed, which makes the
bolls thick on stalk, and the earliest cot

was all open and picked out by the 20tb

The Best and Cheapest
Pure Carbonate of Lime
A Natural Fertilizer.
v
We are now prepared to supply the
farmers of Eastern North Carolina with
Pure Carbonate of Lime,
ground at our Mill in New Berne. This
is lime made of oyster shell, fresh from
the bed, and is far superior to burnt
lime, as it contains much animal mat
ter. It is one of the
Cheapest and Best Fertilizers
now in the Market. ..
Composted with cotton seed or stable
manure it makes a complete fertilizer,
and is indispensable to the fertility of
the soil. .
As the supply will be limited, farmers
are requested to send in orders imme
diately. J. M. WHITE & CO.
