Miss Rjwena Lisberger, of Rich mond, Va., is in the city visiting Mrs. Isaac Fuchtler. We had the pleasure of a visit yesterday from our good friend Rev. J. L. W infield, of the Greenville Watch Tower, who was passing through the city homeward bound. That courteous young gentleman Mr. Sam Bridgers, who is well and favorably known to the trading pub lic of this whol section, has taken a position as sale'sman with the Ein 8tiae Clothing Company, under the Hotel Kennon. Our good friend Mr. Harvey Williams, of LaGrange, has had the misfortune to lose his residence and household furniture by fire, the origin of which is unknown to him and bears the ear-marks of incen diarism. His hosts of friends here were glad and gratified to see upon the street yesterday Rev, B. R, Hall, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church, who was so critically ill and con fined to his bed for several weeks He is still quite feeble, but improv ing. The death of Mr. Tom Thompson, who came to this city from Greene county several years ago and was a clerk in the liquor house of the late Joe A. Parker, died at his home Tuesday. His funt-ral was held yes terday nioruiug at 10 o'clock,Hud the interment was made in Willow Dale Cemetery. The Swedish Ciuceit Company, which 3 the finest that tr.l?s, anil that is "above criticism" so perfect are their vocal and instrumental renditions, has been secured, after! much effort by the new managtm-'nt o' the Messenger Opera House, for a date in this city. "L'hty appear here on the 13ih inst. Jt is said that President. Harri son's message to Congress, !ow in session, will be a lengthy ami tedi ous effusion as it will certainly be of little interest to the country at large, which has so recently repudi ated Harrison and his Force Bill, and relegated both, and the party they represent, to the shades of "iu nocuons disuetude " henceforth and forever. At a meeting of the officers of the "First Regiment, N. C. State Guard, . held in Raleigh Dec. 1, the follow : ing officers were elected: Co!., J. E. Wood, cf Elizabeth City; Lt. Col., - D. N. Bogart, of Washington; Major offirst Battalion, W. B. Rodman, of Washington; Major of second Battalion, P. J. Macon. The Golds boro Rifles were reported by Capt. IT. H. Bain, of this city. .It becomes our sad duty to an nrutnee this morning the death of McJas. W. Bardin, whose critical illness we chronicled in Saturday's ARflcs. He was 58 vears of acre, and j 0 , leaves a wife and several grown children to mourn his los. He was faithful in all the relations of life and will be greatly missed in his neighborhood, where he wa3 univer . sally esteemed. At the meeting of the Ladies' "Benevolent Society of this city yes ;terday, a jesolution was cordially and unanimously passed thanking ;some unknown donor for the gift of '.$20, recently contributed to their i noble order, and The Argus is re- qnasted to make their thanks known iin order that the unknown bene if actor of the poor may, probably, in 'this way learn, as he must already iknow, that his generous gift is truly appreciated and his encouragement deeply gratifying to the ladies of the society in their philantfcrophic work, The city was thronged with country carts yesterday loaded with cotton, rice, pork, poultry and other farm products, for all of which they found ready sale among our towns- folks. Does this not prove that country and town are mutually de pendent, the one upon the other? Liet us recognize gracefully our mut ual interest and together cultivate mutual good feeling, and both will thus make better progress and be happier. Away with the prejudicial cant of the dead . Third party of "town against' country," Let ns all go forward together. There is at work in this city and has been for months;- a. young artist whose natural talent, steady application ana successful achieve ment entitled bim to public recog nition and generous patronage. His specialty is crayon reprodpctions,life size or smaller, from photographs of any size. His recent crayou picture of Governor-elect Julias Carr is as fine a specimen of crayon art as can be found anywhere. This young gentlemen is Mr. C. O. Brown, whose studio is up-stairs over the Goldsboro Music House, ou West Cencre street. One of the several desirable ac quisitions that Goldsboro should bustle to secure during the new year that is fast approaching, is a tobac co warehouse. Why the business men have not banded together and built one before is passing strange. Every town in the State that has es tablished a tobacco warehouse has had need for two, thre,?, four or more additional, and always larger ones, not to speak of the increment to mercantile business houses and dwellings and the volume of trade generally. Let us all hustle for a tobacco warehouse. Speaking of the late lamented Mr. Basil Manly, of Newbern, Mas ter Machinist of the A. & N. C. R. R, and who had many warm friends in this city a3 well as elsewhere throughout the State, the Charlotte Observer, of Sunday, says: "The life record of the late Basil Manly, of Newbern, who died a few days age, is suggestiye A son of Judge Manly, descended on both sides from some of the most aristocratic fami ly of the State, he wisely felt him self not too good to adopt the life of a mechanic. He served his time in first class machine shops, did his work well, mastered his trade, and died master machinist of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. Not content to rest upon the reputation of his forefathers, he went to work and did something for himself, living a life ef usefulness to himself and the world, living the life of a gentleman and dying hon ered and respected by all who knew him". The Hatch "AntkOption Bill " which is of loca' as well as general interest, is again engaging the a tention of lhe country upon the reconvening of Congress, and dole, ful prophecies are in the air from "Wall Street" as to what will happen should, the bill become a law. But these eauae ominous au guries were given vent to from the same source wnen tne Dill was im pendiug at the last session of Con gress. As toe Charlotte Observer says, "they were iterated and reiterated all last winter, spring and summer until they became a dreary monotone. The depression in the cotton market was referred to fears that this bill would pass, and the promise wj.s given that as soon as the uncertainty ended the market would rally. When the Senate linally laid the bill aside cotton took a little spurt upward and in twenty-four hours dropped back to the former figures and. remained there or did worse until four weeks ago.The stock orokers and other speculators have cried "wolf" once too otten. The Sen ate and the country will not believe i hom now when they prophecy evil or p onuse a financial millemum according a this bill passes or fails". HITO- Jt It K PEATS ITSELF. A Sunday Homily on the Ithlcs tt Politics and the History of Governments. Congress convened Monday. It will be the last under the reeime of the Republican party for a loner time to come, if the SJgtt-S cf the times read aright. Ine time is . therefore ni a for se rious reflection as well as f r patri otic gratulation. With the advent of President Cleveland to the White IHouse on March the fourth, this nation will begin, under the most favorable aus pice?, the experiment oft an dream ed of and lone desired, "but never before put in practice of a "gov ernment of the people, for the peo ple and by the people." Ana so let u?, on this Sunday mornine, aside, from the epmtua reflection meet for the day, take food for sober contemplation of the nat ural world by permitting our inougms to go back "in wavering night along the years" of History and scatter broad-cast among1 the nations of the earth. Whilst assured that the outcome oi popular eovernmei t will re r i ... dound to the lasting bei lefit of man kind, the most profound thinkers confess themselves unable to fore cast the conditions under which the Democratic idea will rei ich its final evolution. Will the na tion perfect that development in h er own eov ereign individuality, or is she des tined to merge into a mere element in " The Parliament . of man the federation of the world "? These are qaestions -which no man can answer. It souudr like political impiety to propose, even specula tively, this other ; Wiil the diverg ing interests of her immense terri tory at length bring; about di.dnte- gration ?, History repeat itset "; and history tells us that other sreat nations flourished and decay ed.

One thing only can we predict of that distant age "Ti e paths of glory lead but to the grave."' Of this truth we have a most striking ex ample announced in our columns this morning, the death of Jay Gould, whose one hundred millions of dollars could not purchase a mo- mentof time, when "the fell Sergeant of the sythe and class" confronted him with orders from on High. THE FIUST AGAIN. Mr. W. T. Dortch, who has teen Tax Collector for Wayne county ever since the office was instituted. up to yesterday, when the new law creating township tax collectors went into effect, was the first to re port at the State Treasurer's office in Raleigh yesterday morning for a settlement of the State taxes for Wayne county. During his four years' incum bency of the Tax Collector's office of this county, which he has so sat isfactorily filled and signally adorn ed, Mr. Dortch has been the first every year, of all the State, to settle with the State. This is worthy of note and of the highest commanda tion, besides being cause for Wayne county to feel herself proud. Mr. Dortch has proved himself an etncient and courteous public servant as well as always a thorough going Democrat and an active and fearless campaigner. lOYOTJITEED FURNITURE? Eoyall and Borden's Mammoth Es tablishment Catches the Trade. Through the courtesy of Mr. W A. Micks, the clever and popular manager, a Chronicle reporter was ushered through the mammoth fur niture establishment of Royall & Borden, 13 Park avenue, yesterday. It may be well to state here that this firm has three large furniture em- poaiums, one each in Goldsboro, Raleigh and Durham and are exten sive manutacturers supplying as they do a jobbing trade throughout the south ana a large retail trade in and about each of the cities named. The Kaleigh establishment; is a credit to the city and a handsomer line of stock can seldom be found than that displayed Jy Mr. Micks. The eye of the reporter was especially attracted, by the very unique cheval suits near the door. These are in antique cakand the dressing cases are especially attract iye wite bevel-edge, French plate glass dressing cases are great attrac tions in these suites and the . low price and superior goods is tne greatest draw yet. There are also displayed a very handsome line of 16f h century cheval suites and many styles of cheaper grades in ash and oak. One especially notable feature about this furniture display is the antique cak centre and card tables, There is a great demand for tce3e goods new and Royall & Borden have a magnificent line and many styles and qualities. In addition to this the hat and coat racks with bevel edged, Frence plate tairrors are crreat- lip.qiit.ipa arid will adnrn an V hall with credit the hall of a pal - " J ace or cottage. xut too mucn can not he said about their line of fancy antique oak chairs, upholstered in T-k T tapestry and leather. Lhe swinging rcckers, in tapestry and leather, and revolving chairs for offices are all good and a fine display to select from. The desk department of this es tablishment is well equipped. The old Knglish ladies' oak desks are especially attractive. These, by the-way, are made more so by the circular mirrors in bevel-edged, French-plate glass. Then there is an elegant line of plush parlor'suits, six pieces ; side boards w ith Italian and Tennessee marble slabs; chil dren's chairs for tables and nur series, baby carriages, spring goods etc., etc. Indeed, everything to be found in a fiist class furniture store can here be found. Two floors are stocked and nothing but the latest styles and - best quali ties are kept on hand, lhe prices are remarkably reasotfible. Royall & Borden believe in patronizing home enterprises and all of their springs are Raleigh made a credit able feature, to be sure. The firm is perhaps the largest in the State; business is conducted on business principles: it has succeeded and "nothing succeeds like success." Raleigh Chronicle. What the Chronicle bo hand somely says of the above firm's Ra leigh place of business is also true of their mammoth three-story iron front emporium in this city, on West Centre street, right in the centre of the city's commerce. The Chronicle is right, too, in sur mising that they are the"largest firm in the State:" and they are equally as substantial and reliable as they are business-like and progressive. Ed. Apgus. .

A WEEK OF WAR. Olfc WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AB SUCH, In Continental Europe Every Country Has Experieced Defeat or confusion of the Statesmen. - London, Dec. 3- This-has been wetk of ei:ch excitement as Eu rope hae not experienced before since the days immediately pre ceding the FranecoPrnsian war. Every continental power except Russia Las ieen its statesmen in defeat or cot fusion. Falling and fallen cabin ts in We? tern Europe two min'fteis in Central JMirope fighting tor political existence, and the growirijj conflicts between cnurch and State, people and gov ernment in southern Europe make an historical fpectac e as melan chosy as it is interesting. Spain's pcbic thieves For a second rate state, Spain is but little behind France in the dimensions of her public scandal. Alcalde Boaoh, the ward of the tottering ministry, and his munici pal, colleagues, appear to have taken everything they could Jay their hands on. Had there been mote they would nudonbtly have taken it. The investigation ot their conduct has revealed, as nearly as can be ascertained, that Bosch has profiled some 250,0001 at the city s expense. The city councilors, with bis aesistance,haye acquired in various ways from 20, OOOf to 30,000f each. How they did this is shown by the item of 10,000f granted to two councilors tor two days expenses while seeing the Huelva fetes. The newspapers have raised such a hubbub ebout the scandal that their reporters are now excluded from - the council meetings. The cabinet, under whose immediate supervision the alcade stands, has been too supine to move a finger toward adequately punishiDg the rascals who still continue lo plunder the people. The taxes at the city limits are collected or omitted according to a scandalous system of bribery and extortion. The poorer farmers and market women are plucked to the extreme, while the well to do are let in free after paving emal bribes, which go into the pockets of the official. In this way two thirds of the taxes sometimes are misappropriated in less than a month, - The ministry tried to escape the indignation of tha people by drop ping the minister of the interior, the immediate superior ot the city government, bnt the ruse was too transparent. The people have al ready rioted in the streets to show their hatred of the present gov ernment and nnless Canovas del Castillo and hie cabinet retire with in a few days there will be more serious trouble in Madrid. BITTERNESS IN AUSTRIA. The bitterness of the Austrian cabinet crisis is due to the everlasS in: hatred existing between Czechs and Germans in Emperor Franz Joseph's dominion. Count Taaffe who has been conqueting with the united vierraan party lor some time, haa suddenly swung over to Czechs and this too at this time the Germans were elated by the secession of tho liberal Dr. Wekirl . 110 the premiership of Hungary. I i The excitement in the Austrian chamber urpas?es anything ex perienced recently in a dignified legislative body. The vote yester day asrainst Count Taaffe on the Becret service fund appropriation showed that the German can make a majority against the government. Under the circumstances the fall of the T&afe cabinet can be a matter of but a few days. Un Thursday when Merr von Pieler announced that the Ger mans bad gone over to the uucom promising opposition, a young Czech member jumped at him screaming, "go then, jou dirty tramps. 'Dirty tramps yourselves, shouted back the Germans. The president was powerless to still the tumult. Members shook their fists under each others noses, villi- fied their opponents, and gave the lie, wbile the galleries were in a similar uproar. When' the house was brought back to order, four duels had been contracted and more to come. GLADSTONE MAT TALL. During the scenes of bitterness and disgrace in other countries John Bull has set back in easy complacency thanking Heaven that he is not as other people are. hotheads, anarchists, The 'only continental matter in which he has had a finger has been the Brussels silver conference and as in Eng land, this gathering is regarded predestined to failure tho interest has been more academic. The red firemen t of Henry Labouchere from the Daily News is probably the most significant event of the week in London. It suggests that before long England may add another to the list of recent cabinet crisis. Mr. Li&boucnere is rich.and so the idea that, he disposed of his Daily News shares for the , sake of money is out of the question His move is interpreted rather as his first step toward shaking himself loose from the G lads ton- ians whose organ the Daily News la acknowledged to be. Mr. Labouchere is thus preparing to take his little party of radicals and flock by himself, maintaining an independent attitude towards ; Ciladstonian home rule. Considers ing the suoallnees of Mr. Glad stone's majorty, such a defection is likely to have dire consequences for the preeent ministry. Colquitt Favors It. I ' Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 3. The von8itnon win print to morrow an v ill I mterview with . Senator Coiqnitt in favor of an fztra ees&ion. He 615.25 paid. This will be appre sayp: ciated through the various districts.

Demo cratic speakers aroused the people every where to a hearty realizatien of the enormous excesses ot this protection legislation. We were taunted by onr opponents with the charge that for thirty years we had done nothing, but we told the people that for more than thirty years we had not been able to make a new law or repeal an old one, and we premised them that it they would give us aosoiute power we 1 - I would offer them immediate relief, lhev believed it, and are we now to wait a year before we begin?

From March 4th to the first Monday in December is iust nine months to a day, all of which time will be obsolutely wasted unless there shall be an extra session ot congress."
