The drying up or firing up of the pea crop near the city seems to be hard to understand by the truckers. Some of them have giyen the crop an extra ploughing and it appears to be doing good.

Mrs. Blackwell and daughter, Miss Annie, left per steamer Shenandoah yes terday evening for a trip North, H. B. Lane, Esq., returned from Nor folk yerterd ay. He had the pleasure of hearing, while there, the great evan ' gelista Moody and Sankey and was well pleased with his trip. Messrs. Nathan Sylvester and Harry Creagh, of Riohlands, are in the city.

' .". lIl'lkunltEirD'I ' ' . ; Mr. J. H. Becton' has brought to the ' Joubh al a variety of eggB that is as far as three will -' go towarda making a variety.1 One is the- product of a hen and is 8 inches in length and 6 inches inches in circumference.. Another ifl of the same production and 8J inches long and but 8 inches in circumference; while the third is of likff production, but very unlike in shape, having taken it upon itself to resemble a gourd more ' than an egg ' and has a length of equal the circumference, which is the unim posing figures of only 21 ynches. ; Now "" whv this difference in the size and shape of these valuable particles of diet should eggsistis beyond our compre- - hen-sidn, nor has Mr. Becton vouch , sated Tan explanation, if he has any, While on the subject of eggB, we would remind the curious that an epg laid on good Friday ' never rots, and if thpv doubt it. next Friday Is the time to try it. Tta. First Box of P.M. Tae first box of .peas of the season goes forward this morning by the rail road. It was shipped by Mrs. Thomas Stanly to Baltimore and is twelve days earlier than the first shipment of last year. AVI.lt to the Graded School. We were present yesterday during the recitation of a lesson from Allen's Forty Lessons in Double-Entry Book-Keeping. The class of about twenty-five girls and boys, under the tuition of Miss Allen, were hard at work, demonstrating on the blackboard the intricacies of debit and credit, merchandise, partnership, interest, bills receivable, bills payable, -eto., etc They were making entries of transactions,, and posting them in led ger pages drawn on the board. This is a new and novel manner of teaching the science of accounts, and judging from the progress made by the pupils in Twenty-one lemons, we con sider it quite a success. It oertainly proves that book-keeping can be taught to graded school children, and we hope that every public school in the State will add this practical subject to their course of study. We learn that almost one thousand copies of Mr. Aliens' book are now in use in schools, with the prospect of sev eral thousand being used next session. The Political Sap Rising. Mr, John O. Gardner stood on a dray at the Frog Pond last night and dis coursed to the people on tbe doctrine of evolution, education, the copperation of New Berne, the constitutions of the United States and North Carolina, fast driving, oaths of grand jurors, wars and rumors of wars and the rights ,ot mankind generally. It was the speech of his life, haying, as he said, been thinking over it for a long time. Just as the moon arose he descended the dray amid profound silence. Loud calls were made for Lovick, and the portly proprietor of Frog Pond mounted a goods box and, in a voice that would do honor to Capt Swift Gal loway fcaid: "Fellow citizens." He could go no further; the ground had been entirely "kivered," We don't know whether or not to call it a political gathering but the political sap is evidently rising. Many present pronounced it a first-class April fool. Good Friday Next Friday is what is known as Good Friday, and will be observed at Christ Church by three services, one at 8:30 a. ru. ana at 12 m, ana anotner at o:ov p. m. The theatres in New York, we believe, have determined to close on the evening of this day of solemn church services, as have those of Richmond ,Va. and probably other cities. More than one effort has been made in Congress to have this day placed upon the list of National holidays; but so far without success. Thus the day is left, as probably it should be, subject to the individual judgment of those who wish to observe it, in devotional exercises. Many zealous observers of Good Friday do not desire it to be placed upon the calendar of National holidays for the reason that such a course would event ually rid it of the appropriate solemnity and result in such observance as has al most robbed the Feast of the Nativity Christmas of tbe sanctity belonging to it.' But still the commemoration of the crucifixion will be observed throughout the world, wherever the christian re ligion has been taught. It is the closing services of the Lenten season and those ' who have ; properly sought the benefits of that penetential period are the better prepared to enter nto the joytui celebration or master, j t v" " ' ' - Appreciated Abroad.

The marriage of President Cleveland is supposed to take place sometime in June. His intended is now in Italy but is expected to return soon. In the Youth's Companion, one of the best papers for the home circle pub lished, of April 15th is an article "A Music Lesson," by Christine Nilason. Report comas from Buenos Ayres that our Minister to the Argentine Republio is not polite enough to suit the stylish Spaniards there, and that he desires to retire. Rents in the city of Chicago are enor mous; as an example, the Rock Island Railroad Co. pays $10,000 a year rental for their ticket office, corner Clark and Washington streets. It is said that the spray of the great Yellowstone falls in the National Park built up at its foot a mountain of ice, scarcely yet affected by the - spraying warmth, and almost as high as the fall itself, which in midwinter was magnifi cent in form and color.

Both Hands Up. Newnan, Ga., June 4, 1885. For over two years I have been a suf ferer from Rheumatism, affecting both shoulders to such an extent that I could not put on my coat without help. The use of seven bottles of is. is. is. effected an entire cure. I refer to Rev. W. W. Wadsworth and all merchants of New- nan. JACOB OPONQLKR. Sold in New Berne by R. N. Duffy and E. H. Meadows. Congressional Work. Senate. April 17. Senate not session. V1 House. The pending bill in the morning hour was that called up by the Committee on Ways and Means, to authorize the establishment of export tobacco manufactures, and for a draw back on imported articles used in manu facturing export tobacco. The bill was passed without amend ment. Mr. Forney, of Ala., on behalf of the Committee on Appropriations, called up the bill appropriating $150,000 for the relief of sufferers by the overflow of riyers in Alabama. Mr. Foney described the sufferings and destitute condition of thousands of people who had been ren dered homeless by the floods in Ala bama, and dwelt upon the necessity of Congressional action. He read a tele gram sent by a mass meeting of colored people in Dallas county, Ala., to the Alabama delegation, urging an immed iate appropriation by Congress, and stating that $150,000 was not sufficient to adequately relieve tbe distress. Mr. liiscocfc, of N., I., and Mr. Nel son, of Minn., urged the propriety of an amendment making an appropriation for the relief of sufferers from the late cyclone in Minnesota. Mr. uats, or Aia., regrettea mat ne could not agree with his colleague on this question. This measure was con fessedly outside of the Constitution, and he was one of those who believed that the oath of office he took to support that instrument was violated when he went outside of it and usurped authority to appropriate the people's money. The floods in Alabama had been destructive and much suffering had ensued, but to day he was informed every river in Alabama was within its banks, and the very fact that the houses that had been destroyed would make work more plen tiful and ' wages higher. He quoted from an editorial in a Montgomery, Ala., newspaper to the effect that a Con gressional appropriation would prove a curse rather than a blessing to the farm ing mterest of Alabama: and from the Selma Times, expressing the hope that if the appropriation passed the House, and the "old woman from New Hamp shire" saw it through the Senate, the first man who got his hand on tbe fund would steal it and run off to siam. In aaswer to this. Mr. Forney quoted from the Montgomery Advertiser, warm ly recommending the appropriation, r Mr. Herbert, oi Aia., earnestly sup ported the bill, and said that though the floods' bad subsided they had left deso lation in their track. " Pending further discussion, the morn ing hour expifed. - 1 The House then went into Committee of the Whole on bills reported from the Committee on Public Buildings, involv ing small appropriations. , ihe only Dill passed affecting the South, was one granting for tbe use or the puduo a street across United States grounds in Chattanooga.

Neuse river has gone down and the fisheries up this way are looking for a good catch of shad. K. B. Kinsey is moving out and mak ing way for his new store, which is to be built in the near future. The foundations for Taylor & Britt's new store were laid Monday. The work win be pushed as fast as possible. - Several of our farmers bean Dlant- ing cotton last week. The. season has been backward, but with favorable weather from now, it is not too early. The guano trade ' here does not de crease as the season advances. We think this business is assuming ruinous proportions, but some one else will have to sustain the losses, if any. A series of meetings will be held in the M. E. Church through the week. The Rev. Mr. Holden is expected to ar rive tonight and will have charge of the meeting. We hope to be able to re port good results. H. E. Dillon contemplates building two brick stores during the summer. Thus the work of improvement in our place goes steadily on, the old wood building giving place to new and more durable ones. Silas Bryant's (col.) mule run and threw him from the buggy last Satur day and broke his left leg at the ankle joint. The wound is a severe one, and Dr. Had ley, attending physician, thinks that amputation may be necessary. D. M. Stanton had a full run on two- horse cultivators one day last week, four being sold to farmers in Saulston. Mr. Stanton has been earnestly endeav oring to introduce improved agricul tural machinery for sometime, and the time is not far distant when farmers will have to let this, as far as possible, take the place of labor. Wonderful Cure. W. B. Hoyt SS Co., wholesale and re tail druggists of Rome, Ga,,say: We have been selling Dr. King's New Dis covery, Electric Bitters andBucklen's Arnica Salve for two years. Have never handled remedies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfac tion. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines in this city. Several cases of pronounced Consumption have been entirely cured by use of a few bottles of Dr. King s New Discovery, taken in connection with HJectric Bitters. We guarantee them always. Sold by Hancock Bros. Stonewall Items. A. H. Whitcomb,our sawmill man. is home from a trip to Philadelphia. He has been gone three days. Mr. Jno. Tingle, one of our good citi zens is suffering a severe attack of the heart, but is much better than a day or so ago. Some fiend set fire to the woods near the saw mill of Hooker & Miller Wed nesday night about 11 o'clock in Bay boro, but the fire was discovered in time to eaye the mill with but nominal loss. Several of our citizens have had the misfortune of losing some valuable horses, some of whom are Jerome B. Sawyer, Wm. Clayton, Anderson Gibbs, col., A. K. Spruill and others whose names have slipped my memory. The disease is said to be blind staggers; it is a sad loss to a poor, hard-working man to lose his only horse. Sam Johnson, col., ranaway and left his wife and child some two or three months since and went to Georgia to try his hand at turpentine-making. He arrived in Stonewall yesterday, having patted the grit from there and says he is sufficiently amused"; Why, he says., those fellows down there don't mind , killing a rigger no more than an alligator, and if he keeps his senses he shall never see Ueorgia again. An Enterprising:, Sellable House. Hancock Bros, can always be relied upon, not only to oarry in stock the best of everything, but to secure the Agency for such articles as have well- known merit, and are popular with the people, thereby sustaining the reputa tion of being always enterprising, and ever reliable. Having secured the Agency for the celebrated Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, will sell it on a positive guarantee. It will surely cure any and, every affection of Throat, Lungs, and Chest, and to show our confidence, two inyite you to call and get a Trial Bottle Free. CHOLERA IN ITALY. Rome, April 18.
