RUDim Bays Italy will noi be satisfied with Mr. Blaine's reply. S-ippose she is not, then what! The position of this Government is American, and Earopean Gov ernments are not expected to approve it. THE wheat crops of the country are reported to be remarkably good, and it is beleived that the crop this year will be twice as large as that of last year. If bo prices will decline and the financial condition of the farmers of the west will con tinue to be embarrassed. IT is evident that a sharp anta gonism is growing up between Harrison and Blaine. It is a com mon saying that anything is fair in war, but it does not appear gen . erous In the President to claim 'Reciprocity as his offspring, or to assert that it was his genius that directed the hand of his Seoretary in the Italian affair. ' It may not be denied that the v; President has made some capital by his extended trip through the country. Every show that travels draws the crowd and is applauded by the multitude, but it is ques tionable whether Mr. Harrison has gained a single vote, in the elec toral college, for the. next Presi dential candidate or the itepuDiiean party. Some friends of Mr. Mills were disappointed and . offended i when Mr. Chilton was appointed to sue ceed Mr. Keagan as United States Senator, from (Texas. . But it is understood that' Mr. Mills 'did not wish the appointment. He is now a candidate for Speaker, and may enter the raco for the Senate at the expiration of the'term to which Mr. , Chilton has been appointed. ) - , Mb. Clabkson, President of the League of Republican Clubs; attri butes the rapid growth of the Act Democratic party to its "superior newspapers and the young men." The Republican party looses its strength as the country goes for ward from the war period. Calm and deliberate judgement approves the principles of the Democratic party. B. Fbankenthal, an old Jewish citizen of this city, today made application to enter the poor house. Mr. Frankenthal was formerly one of the most prominet and well to-do Jew merchants in this city. Special from Charlotte to Rich mond Times. We print this item to say we have never known a Jew in North Carolina to be put in jail, to beg for bread, or to become an inmate of the poor-house. This is a remarkable record. To their credit be it said, the North Carolina Jews do not permit their poor to suffer. We have no doubt that, as soon as they hear of Mr. Frankenthal's application, the people of his own nationality will make provision for him. Raleigh Chronicle. LOCAL NEWS. NEW ADVERTJ3EME NTS. J. M.

CANNING FACTORY CLOSES. Its Importance to the city. It Bene fits all classes. As the new oyster law prohibits their being taken after the last day of April, the canning season Is now over. Messrs. Moore & Brady ran their factory last year until the 23d of May and would not have closed thus early this year, but for the law making it impossible to secure oysters after this time. The faotory ia important and of vast benefit to the business of New Berne, giving employment as it does te five or six hundred laborers and causing a weekly outlay of thousands of dollars to their operatives and the men from whom they purchase their oysters, the bulk of which ia epent with our mer chants, thus giving them and their employees benefits from the factory and from them it passes on to others. It is impossible to have an establish ment employing a large number of hands without the community in general where it it is located feeling beneficial results. The effects cannot stop with the once to whom employ ment is afforded. This is the grand reason wby places where manu facturing enterprises are abundant bear such evident signs of thrift Messrs. Moore & Brady looated here about eight years ago, beginning in a very small way and have repeatedly enlarged their buildings and canning capacity until their business has reach ed its present immense proportions, and they opened earlier than usual at the beginning of the season just closing and ran the factory a greater number of months than ever before Our people will look forward to the re-opening of the factory next fall with pleasure. It would be well for New Berne if the city was dotted with suoh industries. There is a growing ten dency among our people to encourage manufacturing and invest in it them' selves. New Berne has material and labor for such enterprises and is des' tined to be a manufacturing city. If our citizens act promptly and wisely they can eeoure the benefits of these natural advantages we possess. If they ,j0 noti 0UtBiders, as they become in. formed of them will take hold, utilize tnem more an(j moro an(j make the money that might have been made by our people, and it is better for our resources to be developed by any one rather than for them to lie dormant and when development along this line Is 'air1 Parted New Berne will have a boom that will astontsh the most of her residents.

Pitcher's Castor? GEOkGE "WASUINGTOX. Interesting Events of his Trip to New Berne and Ylclnitj. Mementoes of the Occasion. Ed. Journal: The young lady who first suggested the oentennial celebra tion of Washington's visit to New Berne is assuredly entitled to the thanks of our people as well as those who gave her such oordial aid. But as they in termixed the representation of histori cal events with romance, it is, perhaps, well, to give the scene as it actually occurred one hundred years in the past. Of course we are all conscious that Mrs. Washington was at Mt. Vernon while Washington was here, and the ladies threw her in the picture merely to oolor it more deeply. Yet as we have had frequent enquiries on the subject quite recently and especially relative to the "One Allen" where Washington stopped over night previ ous to his arrival in New Berne. I will now, give the information desired as far as I possess it. Mr. Allen's plantation was on the North side of the Neuse, about twenty miles from New Berne, and ten miles above Street's ferry, where our citizens first met Washington (to which he re fers in his diary) and not far from Fitoh Kettle. This property is now and has been for many years known as the Cat Tail plantation. The first Mrs. Wm.B. Wadsworth (he was married three times) was a Miss Allen, the grand daughter of the Allen that entertained Washington. She inherited this place. From her it descended to her husband, who held it and lived there a number of years. After her death, it was final ly purchased by Mr. J. A. Uanrahan, and is still in the possession of his widow, who resides there at the pres ent time. On the afternoon of the 22nd Df April, just a century ago, a carriage wheeled through Mr. Allen's gate, followed by several gentlemen on horseback. When the character of the party was made known there was consternation and tumult on that farm as it was but rea sonable to expect. Lven Lord hrskine in Tsntiugto Washington about that time or a few years later says: ' You are the only human being for whom I ever felt as awful reverence." If such should be the fact with a nobleman associating daily with kings you oan imagine the situation of a plain farmer when Wash ington unexpectedly and suddenly ap peared at his door. But it was thrown baek and the great man and his atten dants were becomingly and hospitably received Mrs. Allen and her aide bestirring now themselves soon had prepared a good warm supper which the bungry guests much enioyed. In due time they retired, rested well and were up refreshed and ready for an early start. Now for the breakfast To make preparation for it Mrs. Allen and her servant! bad been up all night and it was sufficiently excellent to tempt a president or a king chickens fried and broiled, sausages fried and boiled, eggs in every way in fact it was a breakfast and dinner combined Washington himself, by request of Mr Allen, asked the blessing, then looking over the heavily laden table drew up a plate of boiled eggs, took a single one making that, with bread and a cup of coffee his breakfast. But when those with him left that table on that memorable morning they had amply shown their appreciation of Mrs. Aliens efforts in their behalf. When about to leave, Washington asked for the bill "Bill" replies Allen 'you can never make a bill at any house or for anything I can do for you." Washington, up to this time thought he was at a place of publio en tainment. The writer has often heard Mr. Wads worth repeat the single egg story ac companied with his hearty ringing laughter, and Mrs. Allen during her life never heard the last of it, thoagh she enjoyed the joke, claiming glory enough any way in having had the honor of the great r resident and Uen eral as her quest. It was through the influence of Kich- ard Dobba Speight (he was elected Gov- yrnor of North Carolina, the next year, 1792, and held the office until succeeded by Samuel Ashe of New Hanover, in 1795) that Washington was induced to visit New Berne, It was during the srst year of his second term of the presi dencv. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Soeieht assisted him in receiving the oitizens of New Berne in the palace. She stood by him during the oeremony and danced witn him tne nrst minuet. This was about the last of Washington's danoing. There were then 01 years be' bind him and eight years before his death. Mrs. Speight was the great grand mother of Mrs. Maggie Nelson and Mrs. James A. Bryan. Washington ocoupied himself, the South Front room in Mr. .Bryan's present residence. When some years ago, unfortunately. the interior of the mansion was modern ized. the writer obtained the hearth stone on whloh Washington stood when shaving himself with the aid of a mirror over the mantel, and now has it in his own house having, had the old hearth removed and replaced with this slab. The first bnok was laid in the palace the 26th of Maroh, 177, and it was finished in two years. Whsn Try on gave a reception and ball there of great splendor, British noblemen and offioers of high position were present Also our distinguished eitiiens, Speight, Caswell and others who soon afterwards were our firmest and most aotorpatriots. Trvon and family occupied it but two years.. It was burned on tne night or. tne avtn or, reoruary, iowo tnus.stana inconlysi years, uur people were so nreiudioed against it. there were but few regrets when it was destroyed. rrevious to leaving new Berne I Washington addressed letter to a com mittee appoinied by the citiztna to re ceive him of which F. X. Martin, after wards Judge of one of the United States Dietriot Court in Louisiana was chair man. Before his departure to assume the duties of his office, he presented James G. Stanly, Esq., with the letter. It had no date but was written bv Washington, himself in his clear plain wtiting and in verv different stvla from his diary. The Hon. C. O. Clark, before the war, was loaned by Mr. Stanly the letter, and had it printed in paper he then owned and edited. Ha still has a copy of the paper containing the letter. Mrs. Susan J. Stanly also has a copy framed in her possession. The original letter was oarried to Texas by Mr. Stanly's son and there lost. W. Private and Public Improvements. The spirit of progress seems to be pervading the Broad street merchants. Mr. J. J. Tolson who recently made such admirable improvements ahnut is store has united his yard with that of Messrs. Churchill & Parker, eivinir good roomy place for the vehicles of their country customers, and Messrs. Churohill & Parker have built new stables for their oustomers to use, have newly weather-boarded their store, doubled their ehelf room intendiog to add to the lines of goods they carry, and are now at work putting in an ornamented glass front whiah will make the third one in a line adjoining each other that have been put in recent ly by the business men of that locality. New Berne is constantly improv ing by ladividual effort. Now let us have more public improvements by carrying the election next Monday for all three of the intended city improve ments, lhey will help New Berne forward wonderfully.
