We regret their agent did not arnve in

On Monday, just in time to find the ho
tels crowded, we arrived in Richmond.
Were lucky enough however to, se
cure a. room, and girted our loins for a
Bmall amount of business for the veteran
Southerner, and a ponderous proportion of
pleasure. We had not visited the city
since 1864, as a soldier boy. Then we
were familiar with every nook and corner.
That was more than ten years ago. Now
we find it rebuilt after the burning in 18G5
with larger and more imposing structures,
four-story brick buildings standing on the
ground of the former piles.
We were piloted and chaperoned by that
clever gentleman, patriotic soldier, and
kindest friend, Mr. N. Frank Young, now
with E. J. Enow & Co., of Baltimore, and
a resident of Fianklin county in our State.
Confidentially the radicals indit' ed Frank
for voting in our last election, whereupon
every prominent lawyer in the Stite assu
red him there was no law for such a pro
ceeding, and volunteered to defend him
without fee or reward.
VIKGINIAS HOSPITALITY, .n ,
. Mr. Young introduced us to that noble
and highly esteemed band of brother s
known as the Baughman Brothers, 1S17
Main St., the largest Stationers and Prin
ters in the ei'y. To say these gentlemen
received us courteously would not half ex
press the kindness 6hown us. They took
us to the prominent business men ie the
city and introduced us, and lu. uL'y made
us a most welcome guest. The unobtru
sive warmth of a Virginian gentleman's
treatment of of a friend is proverbial. So,
we were received by Messrs Grier, Charles
and Melius Baughman and their good peo
ple. ERI.SK TRADE.
Boughman Brother's Store was thronged
with customers, and all busy as bees. Thus
we readily perceived the popularity of the
house. Their very name is a : ytionyin for
honorable dealings. The:r trade is grow
ing in Norih Carolina, especially in the
item of paper bags, and we assure our
merchants if they should try this firm and
not be sa.istied, we will, individually, give
bond and good eecuiity, to settle the dif
ference. It was a bad time for drumm'ng for ad
vertisements. Many of the merchants
were absent attending to the details of the
"unveiling" ceremoaies to take place nest
day and on the various Fair Committees.
Those remaining in the stores were up to
their eyes in business. All were favorably
disposed to seek Eastern Carolina trade
and invited ri3 to call again, wh'ch we will
do soon.
It is singular, Richmond has not seen
advantages that would accrue by becom
ing better acquainted with us. With low
er tariff, and shorter distance, they might
esliy oui strip more Northern markets.
STOSEVf AL'S SOLDfESS.

AX AFFECTING SCENE.
Gov. Kemper led the little daughter of
Ger Jackson to the edje of the stand and
ititioduced her thus:
"Soldiers this is Gen. Jackson's danh
rtr." The welkin lesonnd-d with hearty
plaudits. Then Jackson'a soldiers crowded
up to grasp the hand of the child of their
revered leader, and in many instance, tears
rolled down their son-burnt, whiskered
cheeks. The hearts of few witnesses to such
a scene failed to ibiob heavily.

An Episode ot tbe Ciecus. It hap

Wm. Henry Tisdale had been appointed
t special policeman to preserve ordei,
while Sells Bros. circti3 was in town last
Friday. This is a benevolent place. It is
the fashion in small towns, as it extends
the freedom of the circus to a deserving
class of young men to appo'nt special

Ye valiant tisdale -promptly arrested the
said clown and wf.s about to eject him.
The following colloquy ensued :
Tisdale "Come out o'here, no drunken
man can stay iu here."
Clown "An would ye be afiher puttin
out a poor orphan, and not let him see the
how ?".
Tisdale "Come out, come aloig."
Clown, turned a back-somer-ssiult, and
landed in the ring, "placed his thumb on

Bio Deer Sioby. A few days ago Mr.

A Woman Chase. A man pursuing a
weman is of o ordinary an occurrence as to
excite no rem iik,; ,,
This chase, however, .has distinctive fea
tures. A white woman ran away from John
Credle, at Washington, and rented a house
in Tarboro, near the classic precincts of
Grab All. Her name was Sally Williams .
Credle sent a warrant from a J. P. to
have her arrested for larceny.
She got away from the Sheriff just over
the bridge at Tarboro, and Credle, who
was in ambush, gave chase. The woman
screamed, and all Grab All hollered.
, The sympathies of the, .crowd evidently
leaned towards the woman, i She swore she
wouldn't live with "Credle' again, that she
would go in jail, or do - anything, but live
with Credle.
He said she was his salvation. She de
clined to again cradle her head on his be
traying bosom.
Intense excitement prevailed for a short
while, but what could a poor woman do in
the clutches of the law? With wrathful
eye And blistering tongue,' she was borne
away U Washington,
Johnnie poke the monkey,
Tomoaie stir up the bear, ,
Mako C'hristopherColnmbus and Washing

' And pnll each other's hair.
There's nothing like a show. Brother
Blonnt, locum tenens of the Wilsoa Plain
Dealer, told us the European was a No. 1
show. We never take anybody's word for
it. It showed in Tarboro yesterday ; we
went, saw and were conquered.
The menagerie was rilled with select
specimens from the animal kingdom.
Our progenitors, according to Danvm)
the monkeys,' "w?re. just as industriously
occupied in catching supposititious fleas.
The biggest bear in America, 40 years on
esbibiiion, rolled in his den.
The finest elephant of Ler age, only 10
years, occupied a conspicuous place, and
all others of same character.
The circus performance was of more than
ordinal y merit.
Willie Sells, the boy bare-back rider,
hardly big enough to quit sucking his
thumb or play niumlde-the-peg, executed
all sorts of things on a, horse having nqth
ing on save h'de and hair.
Chas. Ewers, the agile bare back rider,
does more things on horse-back than any
body else can do on the ground,
Tournair is another fellow of the same
sort, only not quite as much so.
But when Cobb brings in his dogs, goats
and monkeys, all trained to perform, as a
darkey from Conetoe ejaculated, "it almost
kills mje dead." .f
. Livinglone Brothers have no successful
rivals as athletes., ,, -
With these ex telleht specialities, we agree
with Bra. Blount that it is the best circus
traveling through the country on wagsns.
Sells Bros , the gentlemanly proprietors,
permit no gambling andnor'.'suibanceraars
the enjoyment of the multitude.
The pretty Circasaioa iu the side show
will well repay a visit.

part in the matter and success is assured.
They are old aud tried officers.
We suggest that the ladies get up some

and some patriotic citizen give a barbecue
to krnp the ball in motion.
Edgecombe Guards, rally ! Friends of
the proposi tion come to the meeting. Shall
Goldsboro and Wilson and other town?

was a perfect success. Every thing passed
off pleasantly, so far as circus was concern
ed, though a tight occurred in town between
Emerson Cobb aud Wallace Batchelor.

Our Raleigh Adv. We regret the no

accidently left out of our last issue.
They are home manufacturers of pure
candy, and are pioneers in an important
branch of industry.
They sell at Northern prices, and the dis
tance bc'.ng shorter and freights lower, we
feel sure our merchants would do as well
by keeping their money at home.

Our New Richmond Advertisements.
We especially call attention to our Rich
mond adveri isemeuts. We have called at
tention editorially to the advantages offered
by Richmond as a market for East Carolina
dealers.
Messrs. Millhiser & Co., wholesale deal
ers in dry goods and clothing already do a
large brines in our section, which must
increase as they become better known. We
especially commend them.
Messrs. Whhloek & Abram, manufac
turers of fine cigars, are too well known to
require endorsement from us.
Their brands of cigars are favorites eve

The "r'r. ilean Show" has again come to
rief. We learn from the Raleigh Senti
nel that the 6heiiff of Wake has seized the
tent, nobby horses and whole 4'fiy lug-jinny"
machinery of the 44 Mexican Sensation
Troupe," for an unpaid state, county and
city tax bill of $00. Part of the traps had
bea sent to the depot preparatory to a
general shipmpnt and emigration.
The Fever Tree. We publish the fol
lowing paragraph from a recent article in
the Baltimore Sun, for the information of
nurserymen in this section. If the tree is
what it is claimed to be, we can see no
reason why it should not be as successfully
cultivated here as anvwhere :
4 "Considerable interest exist about 44 the
fever tree," (eucalyptis) and its wonderful
medical qualities. It is said that if planted
in our fever and aue districts, it will 6uck
up and dissipate malarial poisons and'drive
tbe shaking terror entirely away. Here is
a chance tor immortality. Let commis
sioner, of Patterson Park, direct that most
excellent gardener, Frazier, in charge there,
to procure seed aud start an encalypltc nur
sery at once. air. w. A. Jiaitnews, oi
Sacramento, has planted o0,000 ot these
trees. The seed can be had in San Fran
cisco, and the growth is wonderfully rapid.
Three pounds of seed will produce 50,000
trees. The iron bark variety is said to be
the best. Garabaldi will likely win more
fame by redeeming the fever infested re
gions about Rome by planting this tree,
tha i all his wild dreams,as well as his many
good acts of the past, will ever secure for
him,"

Jlaioit SotrrHBETEji : A field dJ in
Kashville, and' tha Southerner not repre
sented; how was this,, tMr. Editor?
44 The great European Circus; " under the
management of the Sell Brothers, had for
days and weeks been advertised and posted,
and the town had not, since the departure
of Carrington, of circus renown, known
half the joys which were last Friday pre
sented to its enraptured vision.
A thousand hearts beat happily and. two

great balloon aioetsionit take place .later
in the day,) by the calliope, was truly en
livening, and NaahvHje was, for. the time
being, truly happy. The different sections
of "the gloriful old county of Nash," vied
with each other in furnishing their quota of
the oldest and youngest, prettiest and
homeliest. -
Nash never does anything :. in differently,
and from elcctiiig a democratic representa
tive .tquattehdiog :a democratic! circus, it
gqetlUhe whole, porcine.. As to! Its oldest
representative, :let Mst Bennett '. Crumple
speak. He Bays that i his ircmediate
neighborhood, there are at tetet L dozen
octagenarioris, but tMt- 40 yearaitgoi his
father used to spoak of quite a 'number of
these persons as being eighty years old then!
I have to add, and find that 80 plus 40 make
120 "how is this for high" figures. In
credible as this may seem, one or more of
these came to see the circus. I pass over
the youngest they being interesting only
to fond fathers and doting mothers.
And now, what shall I say of the fair ?
Fortunately, little i3 needed, for they ever
speak for themselves. Sjme half dozen
faces were so radiantly fair gt ;the most
confirmed misogynist would Have gazed and
felj hforfsith growing. weak Let one such
but fall under the influence of. either of
these glorious faces, and his cynicism would
be scattered as the frost before the glow of
a generous October sun. And now, Mr.
Editor, a little incident descriptive of the
last class mentioned. Note the following
conversation : 44 How do you do ! how do
you do, Miss Sary "! 44 1 don't bel'eve you
know me," said a hard favored eon of the
soil to a woman just ahead of him. She
turned at this salutation end, gaz:ng at er
friend anzious-for recognition, relieved his
anxiety and his mind truly. 44 Yes I do
aint that you Jesse"2L'J'Yes, this is me,"
quoth he of anciaafc. memories, f Is that
yoar wffe"? slie asked.' The wife in ques
tion 6aw proper to acknowledge the rela
tionship and meekly asked wliy t the query.
44Oh! nothing in particular only you ought
io take a stick and break your husband's
back for being so ugly." Ye Gods ! what
a stunner; perhaps the man could have
smashed a glass house in return. But the
dark and ominous frown which first im
pressed his features gradually relaxed into
an amused smile and a merry twinkle of
the eye, as he cast a last look over , his
shoulder at the retreating form of hi3 plain
spoten triend.-; .., , . . - ?r .
I could not bot speculate on the possibil
ity of ancieut rongs;' novf righted, sor' at
least with" some of t heir noisnanev asisaed
by this terrible shaft. Had Jesse been an
old sweet-heart, who had loved to woo, but
always forgot to wed? If not. whv the
shaft at both man and wife.
As you will have the the circus with you
next week, I will only say that it was good.
Our fiiend W. G. sivs that a circus, like
whisky, is never bad, but eood. better, best.
There are many things which I intended to
say, but my communication has grown fear?
fully long, and you will have to curtail un
sparingly. Nashville is eminently Hibern-
lau, for she has a sepxe-of sous-who are
peculiarly 44 band v tvith. their' ftels, " and
who are likewise vrfttlft a loss to know how
to handle a shelelah.
She sustained her ancient rarlorv on last
Friday by contributing one or more pugil
istic encounters to swell the lonz list of
former exploits in this direction.
Gentlemen of the law : may it not be
that treacherous Cincinnati rve is the cause
of most of these encounters ? What have
you done with all of the 44 good old Nash
brandy, for which tho countv was once
so famous ? I fear me greatly, that, like
the thrifty Dutch farmer, you have sold all
of the best and retained only for home use
that which is of inferior quality. When
Lucien opens, if he will only keepMartelle
and Heidsick and old Nash brandy to sell
them at 10 cents a glass, he will soon have
no competitors, and some one will be ruined.
Capt. Joe lck is responsible for the fol
lowing : During the Convention campaign
iu Nash, our amiable and versatile friend,
Capt. S. T. W., wil'ing and anxious to im
part information, both political and other
wise, is said to have tendeied his services
to teach a fair pupil the multiplication ta
ble, one question was asked, and all far
ther proceedings were "tabled," and now
the Capt. teaches multiplication no more.
Our former townsman,'-Dr. Robt. Sills,
is making f or himself hosts "of friends in
and around Nashville, aiiid - when, there a
few days since, I heard the giucere wish
expressed, more than'oDce, that a certain
fair lady would not heed what Mr. J. of
Wake, was saying. 4'So mote it be," my
dear doctor.
And now, Mr. Editor, please excuse
the great length of this communication, for
I have repented greatly the infliction caused
yon.
