At the annual election of officers of the New Berne Cotton and brain Ex change, held at the Exchange rooms yesterday, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President. 8. W.

Simmons, Hilt Humphrey, A. B. Den- niaon, U. U. clans. Superintendent D. T. Carrawsy. A CMM4iMt Organization. The youna men of the New Berne Graded 8chool, for their own improve ment and for other young men who may associate themselves with them, have formed a debating and literary society known as tbe Hermesian Literary Society. They organized last March, have a constitution and by-laws. and meet regularly every Friday night in a room of the graded school building at 7 80 o clock. Their exercises con sist of debating, essays anddeclama tions. The interests of the society are in strict harmony with those of the school and it receives the oo-operation of the Principal and assistants. The officers are: J. S. Thomas, President; A. S. Bryan, Vice-President, and C. L. 6askill. Secretary and Treasurer. This society, if properly conducted, is capable of doing great good for our young men. The graded school has a splendid library whioh will aid them in their literary pursuits, and by thus as sociating together they can acquire a knowledge of conducting business in public meetings. A great deal of the disorder and confusion in publio as semblages arises from a lack of knowl edge on the part of the participants as to how the business should be con ducted. We commend tbe efforts of these young gentlemen to improve themselves by the acquisition of knowledge that will make them bettes and more useful citisens,, end hope they will be en couraged by the oider well informed citizens of our community.

The day before he arrived at Warsaw a nihil ist, who had been sentenced to death some days previously, was hanged in all haste. Soldiers stood along tbe entire line where the imperial train were! to pass. As the trains approached the sol diers turned about so as to be ready to fire upon any one who might try to get near the line. There were three trains one for the imperial family, one for the baggage and a third for railroad workmen, who oould repair any dam age happening to the line. On the journey the Emperor changed from one to the other trains several times.
