WASHINGTON, D. 0., Deo. 30.
Some newspapers that are inimical
to the Democratic party and which
would gladly foment discord with
in itarank8,have suggested that Mr.
Mills introduce an omnibus tariff
bill of the Fiftieth Congress with
such monifications or changes as
may be deemed advisable and
andeavor to have it referred to his
(Mills) Committee on Interstate
Commerce. It can be stated with
positivenesB that Mr. Mills has not
tor an instant entertained tbe idea
of such a course. He will not resort
to unparliamentary means to enforce
his ideas. The tariff policy will te
discussed and no donbt determined
by a Democratic caucus, where
every member of that party in tbe
House will have equal opportunity
urge his plans. Kepuolican
ournals hope to encourage the few
malcontents of the House, with
whom Mr. Mills has no symatby, to
overt acts and thus weaken the
party. -

Merchants' Organization.
Twenty-three of the Retail Merchants
of New Berne met in the Y. M. O. A.
rooms Friday evening and listened to
an addrete by lt. F. a Bunkerhofl, of
The Merchants Betsil Commercial
Agency, 88 Dearborn St., Chioago, Ills.
The system in use by this Agency haa
for its purpose the protection of Retail
Merohants. Tho legality, practicability
and results of the system were fully
explained. After consideration, a
motion was made that those present
proceed to organize the New Berne
Branoh of auoh Agency. The motion
prevailed by a unanimous vote. The
following were chosen as officers:
F. Ulrioh, President; E. B. Haokburn,
Viae President; W. D Barrington, Sec
retary; J. J. Tolson, Treasurer; J. H.
Haokburn, W. P. Burma, J. R. Parker,
J. W. Stewart, H. B. Duffy, Ex. Board.
This Agency uses no dishonorable
meana to foroe collections or settle
ments, but the merchants propose to
exercise their legal right to refuse
oredit to a person who gains the repu
tation of not treating a member of the
Agenoy honorably.
There is no law compelling merohanls
to sell their goods on credit. There is
no law forbidding merchants refusing
credit to any person they eee fit, and
when a merohant sells his goods on
credit it is as an accommodation to the
consumer, and if euoh consumer has no
appreciation of the favor extended and
wi fully neglects to make a reasonable
and honorable adjustment of his in
debtedness, then he should be com
pelled to pay as he buys. It is better
for him and much more profitable for
the merchant. Many a poor worthy
man has been refused credit for the
necessities of life became of tbe mer
chant's unpleasant experience with bad
debtors, but this System will tend to
obviate all that, because the man who
does respect his oredit will be known
and have a standing among meichants,
while the ''dead beat" and others of bis
kind will also be known to the mem
bers of this Agency and be absolutely
refused oredit; no matter if he moves to
another town or state his reputation as
poor poy will follow him and the mer
chants in suoh new place of residence
will also refuse him oredit. This
Agency issues a regular and legal
Abstraot of unsettled acoounts. Eaoh
member agrees to forfeit twenty dollars
to his branch as a penalty in case he
extends oredit to a person whose un
settled account appears in the abstract,
and no account oan appear therein
until the debtor has had a full and fair
opportunity to go to the merchant he
owes and in some way arrange such
indebtedness. 1 he man who can pay
and won't pay and the man who cannot
pay, but will not go the merchant and
state his condition and make effort to
arrange, ie tbe person this Agency is
after.
This Agency does not interfere with
the oredit of men who deal honorably,
no matter if they are slow; neither does
it in any way regulate prioes. Its sole
object is to compel men to be honest
with merchants or to pay spot cash for
goods purchased. Something of this
kind has been needed for a long time
and this system will work "In com'
bioation there is stiength." The mem.
bera have the suooess or failure of this
system in their own hands. Wherever
merchants have properly combined, the
system has proven a great success. The
United States is being carefully covered
by this Agenoy, and the merohants in
all small towns are visited and solicted
to' join the oounty branch.

THE STRANGER ABOUT TOWN.
Twelfth Tonr.
Sam Klocum Marries and Retires
from Business.
MbJEwtob: The morning after New
Years I was standing by Big Ike's new
fence, . admiring its proportions, and
reflecting on the holiday whioh bad
past and gone. I felt kinder gone my
self. My stomach was a little off, and
the wedding bells was sot to strike at 7
o'olock that night, and I felt scarcely
equal to the situation. The world
seemed to have soured on me, and I
seemed more than ever a stranger about
town. The faot was, I had been sitting
up with Ann Felicia several nights dur
ing the week before, and we should
doubtless have come to the usual pint,
had not the old beach ranger thrown a
wet blanket on our expectations by
declaring that he wouldn't allow no
dog gone Jerseyman into his family.
This declaration knooked us both silly.
Without more adieu, tbe door of the
paternal mansion was shut to agin my
baok, and (or a whole week 1 never
onoe clapped eyes nor bands onto
Felioia. I had almost screwed my
oourage up to-the refusing point, and
to address her in the effecting words ot
the poet, as follows:
"Maid of Athens, ere we part, -Give,
oh give me baok my heart:"
But when I re Sooted upon the tears
which .were certain to gush from out
tbe windows of her soul, and the panes
which were sure to follow from tbat
window, I relented. I determined to
see her once more, bit or miss, or even
Mrs., if to it was to be. My chance
came at evening meeting. The girl was
thar, trioked out in gorgeous style with
her new beaded wrap, and looking as
gushing as a ripa mush melon on an
August morn. The parson was holding
forth from a text about brethren and
sisters dwelling together in unity; but
l wasn't equal to follow log the argu
ment on account of tue coughing and
hemming and hawing which drowned
the words of the preaching; which is
likewise the case in a gocd many other
meeting bouses. I felt mad enough to
throw a brick at these coughers at
religion, but I held myself in until the
end of tbe sermon.
When meeting was out I immediately
rushed to Ann Felioia, ahead of a lot of
other fellows, remarking that I should
be pleased to see her home. She made
no answer, but hurrying forward, her
skirta and demi-train went wiggle-
argle in the breeze. I followed; she
hurried. Presently she got into a
double-quick, breathing like a Body
Island porpoise I after her at lightning
speed to head her off, when all of a
sudden she turns short around and
screams out in trngio tones: "Villain,
unhand me I How dare you ?"
"Who's a touching of you?" says I.
"You be," says she in tremulous
accents.
"No, I ain't, neither."
"Well, ain't you going to?'' says she,
letting of ber voice down a peg or
two at the same time, and dipping her
chin.
"Not as I knows on," says I, taking
of her hand, which she did not resist,
Then squeezing it and pressing it to my
bosom, I continued: "Oh deerest
Felioia ! if you only knew my feelings I
If thou only knewest how Cupid's
dart has touched me on tbe raw, you
would have pity on my heart, which ie
about to burst, by taking me for better
or for worser, and making me a happy
individual for the balance of my life.
Ann Felicia, speak I Enowest thou not
what love is ? Hast thou never ex
perienced the tender spark ? If thou
haveat, then, by heavings, thou better
hast have haved."
She turned on me with accents mild,
gazing into my eyes, while the yellow
effulgence of tbe moon flooded her
physiognomy with its shimmering
hue. "Alas I "she said said she:
love vou. Sam,- but alas 1 I oant
I can's-oan't-oa-a-n't , and she broke
short off with sobbing, erst while the
dew drops twinkled on her eye-lash,
"Oh. dim your oanting." I said.
"and oome to the pint at once," says I,
not quite oertain what ailed the girl,
Well, then," said she, "it 1 must
spit it out here goes: I cannot marry
foreigner, ao there!"
"Ub PBhawi 'saiai, "H mat is an,
we will fix it soon. Even now there is
a bill before Congress, admitting New
Jersey into the United States, and
when it passes we wm an oe one peo
ple, one oountry and two hearts that
beat as one. But -i aoaea,-- let us. git
married fust, and thereby speed the
day." With that I gave her a buss on
the forehead, whioh is one of those
sweet links in the chains of argy ment"
whioh Shakespeare writes of; and that
I reokon did the business tor me. one
wavered, quavered, trembled delioious-

"Every time," I replied emphatic
"Art thou willing to ewear off from
drinking, smoking, chewing, dipping

with other gals, ana an for mer"
"Ever 01 thou, " l answered.
"Art thou willing my dearest Sam to

v "Then, noble youth, henceforth we
two (8) are one (11 forever." So saving
ahe soranz into mv arms like the shut
ting to of a steel trap, and gummed her
lips to mine. K. u.u tasted good
" Yesterday the happy hour arrived
Tbe parson was there; likewise the
bride. No oards, no flowers,' no pres
ante: no nothingr nothing bus leaves.
Ann Felioia looked the very essence of I
She stood before the blur, smiling at
fate. Her dress was out bias. V -shape
Ik was a pale blue bombasine Anted
with box plates on the scallop, with
double frills, from Worth; Her hair
was erlmpled forward and banged be

flchues of eilt-edned taffy, and confined
byaroletuof gimp tully of double
width 8 1-3 cents a yard;thenoe flowing
to ber feet, it terimated in a massive
border of Charlotte rnohes six fingers
deep. She had on many other things
to numerous to mention, an inventory
of wbioh will be furnished to tbe soci
ety reporter of th Journal on request
While tbe assembled guests wera in
rpecting her trussoo, the minister called
on lis to repeat after him, which we cii
and in a jiffy she was mine after which
we meandered on our homeward tour

Heard From.
It will be romembered that we told a
short time ago of a goodly legacy heiu
left in England, a portion of which wee
for a Mr. George D&vij, who came to
this country about the time of the war
and who under the assumed name ot
John Howe married a widow near
Goldsboro, and that Mr. Arthur Divis,
brother of the sid Dvi9, alias Howe,
who had not heard from him for years,
was here tryin? to trace his brother so
that he could get the propor'.i.n to
which he was entitled.
Mrs. Louisa Ho e, who married tho
brother that Mr. Arthur Davia is look
ing for, having heard tbe news, arrived
by last night's train to look iato the
matter and see if she wai not entitled
to a share of the legacy, as she believes
her husband dead.
Her home is at GoidsLoro. Bhv s.atts
that Howe left her in 1881 and went
out to Starkville, Mississippi, with a
family moving there, and the last litter
she reoeived from him was at that
plaoe in February, 1882, and that is the
last reliable news she ever heard from
him in any way.
