Raleigh’s history.
The city was laid off during the spring
and summer of 1792. During the previous
years trom 1720 the seat of government
had beeu at more than thirty different
points. In 1788 a convention ordered
that ihe c pitol should be located at a
point “within ten miles of the plantation
on which Isaac Hnn’er now resides, in
the county of Wake.”
This decision was not made without

buck buildings inside the c rporation,
the governors “palace,” built in 1813,
being outside the boundary. The place
had only 976 inhabitants in 1810.
O e of the early occurences of grea-
note w T as the attempt to move the capit
tol by persons concerned in vast frauds
in the sales of public lands in Tennessee
—at*the time when ttiat state was part
of North Carolina. In 1798 a messenger
from Tennessee brought news of this
plan to the governor and for mouths a
heavy guard was kept around the build¬
ing. But in that same year a negro ser¬
vant of one of the conspirators rvas
caught after he had entered the capitol
at night and stolen many of the land rec-
ords. lie was hanged and the next year.
James Glasgow, secretary of state, was
tried for these frauds and convicted.
In 1831 the old capitol was burned
and in 1833 tne cornerstone of the pres¬
ent one was laid. When completed it
was the handsomest building of a public
character in the United States. It was
not until many 3 ears later that other
public buildings were added. Now, in
a great semi circle, there are the insane
asylum, penitentiary, agricultural . and
mechanical college, state fair grounds,
experiment farm, two institutions for
deaf mutes and the blind and the Con¬
federate soldiers’ home, while near the
capitol building are the supreme court
and state library, the agricultural build¬
ing and the executive mansion, tome of
these being notab e structures, particu¬
larly the asylum and the penitentiary.
The city’s industrial growth dates from
about 1866 and the population has quad¬
rupled since 1860 and now amounts to
17,000.
REID’S ACCEPTANCE
Of the Republican Vice-Presidential
Nomination.
A special from New York says:
W hitelaw Reid’s letter of acceptance,
addressed to the chairman of the repub¬
lican notification committee, was made
public Tuesday night. It is about five
thousand words in length. He begins
by saying “When the nomination with
which the national convention has hon-
ored nm, was formally announced by
your Iii doing committee, I accepted it at once.
so I accepted also the principles
6e t forth in the resolutions adopted by
the convention as the basis of my ap-
peal to popular suffrage. To do other
or less than this is, to any honorable
man, an impossibility. A political party
is an association of citizens seeking to
have the government conducted in ac-
cordance with its views and presenting
candidates whom it strives to elect for
that purpose. To accept its nomination
without intending to carry out its princi-
pies would be as dishonorable and as
criminal as to procure goods under false
pretenses.

the republican argument that the
democrats favor free trade. Hi quotes
Commissioner Peck’s report at some
length, and he dwells at some length up-
oa t he reciprocity features of the republi-
can platform. On the subject of cur-
rcncy he says: “The lamented Garfield
pr0 udly claimed in 1880 that our
I aper currency is now as national as the
g g. t be purpose ol our opponents is to
sectionalize it ag.in.” He dwells on
t-his : 8 a “time of great prosperity and
“ , nera! contentment.” Of the force

favorable business report
Issued bj Dun’s Mercantile Agency for
the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly report says:
Once more it must be said that trade in¬
dications are entirely favorable. Even
the shrinkage in exports has ceased, an
increase of fl,500.000 appearing in New
York last week, while imports continue
surprisingly large, and foreign exchange
declines. Government crop reports for
October 1 st were, on the whole, much
more favorable than was expected, and
the markets disclosed the public belief
that the facts are more favorable than the
government estimates. Trade through-
out the country is somewhat larger than
a then year exceptionally ago, although the situation was
favorable, and in all
the great branches of manufacturing
there is extraordinary activity.
Money is in great demand at almost all
commercial centers, but there is seen no¬
where any stringency, the supply being
ample for legitimate business, and collec¬
tions, as a rule, are exceptionally good.
At Philadelphia the iron market de¬
cidedly improves and good orders lor the
spring trade are reported in dry goods,
while the wool market continues active.
REPORTS FROM BUSINESS CENTERS.
At Baltimore the infrequency of south¬
ern failures is gratifying. Collecti ms are
show more satisfactory and trade in some lines
a material increase. Pittsburg re¬
ports a stifier market for pffi iron and
a good demand for manufactured pro¬
ducts, with improving prospects in the
glass business, window glass being more
active. Trade is remarkably strong at
St. Louis, the corn crop proving larger
than anticipated. Business at Nashville
is improving, but at Little Rock is still
dull, though in dry goods better. At
New Orleans business is active, with
brighter prospects and money in large
demand, but a sufficient supply. Cotton,
since a week up, is an eighth lower,
with sales of more than one million
bales tor the week.
THE IRON MARKET.
The iron output October 1 st 158,027
tons weekly against 151,648 tons, Sep¬
tember 1 st and it is especially encourag¬
ing that stocks on hand decreased 85,234
tons during September. The demand
f.-r pig iron is improving and a general
advance of about 50 cents per ton is re¬
ported for pig with iiberal buying,
while the trade in plates is very satisfac¬
tory. Bar iron is somewhat better and
structural mills are full of orders.
The cotton and woolen mills are fully
employed and many of them cannot fill
their orders, though running their ma¬
chinery night and day. 8 a!es of wool
this year, at three chief markets, have
been 247.000,000 pounds against 194,-
000,000 to same date last year.
The market for dry goods continues en¬
couraging, agentshaving started vigorus-
ly in the spring trade and the demand
for spring samples of men’s goods being
urgent. Trade in blankets was excep¬
tionally large in September and the lower
grade cannot be supplied fast enough.
Strong buying is seen in cottou and some
makes are largely oversold.
Boot and shoe manufactur is equally
busy and shipments from Bo»ton, accord¬
ing to the Shoe aud Lea her Reporter,
are 83,000 cases for the week against 64,-
000 last week.
Business failures oecuring throughout
the countiy during the week number fo
the United States 180, to corresponding
week last year 227.
TELEGRAPHERS ORDERED OUT
But tlie Order was a Forgery and They
Return to Their Keys.
A Topeka, Kan., dispatch says: All
the telegraph operatois on the Santa Fee
system, about nine hundred in all, struck
Monday morning in response to an order
from Chief R imsey, of the order of Rail¬
way Telegraphers. The trouble is on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad in
Texas, which is operated by the Santa
Fe. The operators of the Texas line,
several hundred, have had a schedule of
increased wages before the officials, but
the new schedule has not been allowed.
The Santa Fe operators have struck in
sympathy with the Texas operators. No
trains are moving in Texas. Train dis¬
patchers on the Santa Fe proper aie tak¬
ing stock trains in transit to division
points when they will leave their keys
also.
IT WAS A FORGERY .
A later dispatch says: the great strike
of telegraphers of the Santa Fe railway
system was the result of a hoax. The
' operators were informed by Chief Ram¬
say of their order at 9 o’clock Monday
night that the order directing them to
strike was a forgery and instructed them
to return at once to their positions. The
operators immediately on receiving the
order returned to their keys.
A SERIOUS MAT TER.
Another dispatch of Tuesday from To¬
peka says: All operators along the
Santa Fe main line are now at work, but
the disastrous effects of the bogus dis¬
patch ordering the strike whs much more
eral far-reaching offices In its results. At the gen¬
of the Santa Fe system, the
latest reports from the Atlantic an i Pa¬
cific railroad were that 500 operators on
that division of the system were still oir
and refused to return to work. The
men at Topeka don’t understand why
this action has been taken and the only
explanation offered is that the men, hav¬
ing once quit work, do not like to con-
fess themselves hoaxed or they don’t
believe the ordering them to work is
genuine.
The operators fear that serious damage
has been done their order. The impres¬
sion prevails that the heads of the depart¬
ment in the Telegraph Association have
been too careless and did not, take the
necessary precautions to prevent mis
takes. Unless the Atlantic and Pacific
operators return it will probably result in
a division in theorganizili<m of the Or¬
der of Railway Te egraphers. With the
Gulf, Colorado and 8 auta Fe aud Atlan¬
tic and Pacific operators out and the
main line operators stauding by the com¬
pany, Chairman Rtmsey will be in a pre¬
dicament.
TAMMANY’S TICKETS.
With the County Democracy, Tamma¬
ny Nominates Congressmen.
A New Y< rk cispatch of Monday says:
Tammarv Hall ncminations for con¬
gress are as follows: Fourteenth con¬
gressional district, Colo el John R. Fel¬
lows; thirteenth, Jnmts J. Gorman;
twelfth, Bourke Cochran; eleventh,
Amos J. Cummings; fifteenth, Ashabel

Warner; ninth district, Timothy J.

The Lapps.
The Lapps call their country Sabme or
Same and themselves Samelots, and the
term lot has generally been supposed to
be a contemptuous nickname given to
them by foreigners, derived from the
Finish “lappu,” and meaning simply
“land’s end folk.” A more plausible
suggestion, however, is that of Profes¬
sor Friis, of Christiania, who refers the
term to an old Finnish root “lappaa,”
signifying to roam or wander about, in
allusion to their nomad habits. In the
m uth of southern or more civi'ized
Lapps it appears to have become synouy-
mouse with rude or barbar us, and is so
applied by them to the less cultured
northern communities
difficulty Anthropologists seem to have some
in assi-uing to the Lapps their
exact place in th- human family, but it
may be safely affirmed that they are a
combination of Caucasian and Mongo¬
lian types. Be this as it may, their
physical characteristics are remarkable—
decidedly tn re remarkable than attrac¬
tive. They are probably the shortest
race in the eastern hemisphere, unless it
be Mr. Stanley’s demoniacal dwarfs. A
man over five feet in height would be a
giant among them, and the women are
rarely more than 4 feet G inches. They
are also the shortest beaded and the
thinnest skinned pe ’pie in the world.
Some of them indeed are long headed
enough in the intellectual sense, aud
know as wed as any how to drive a
barguiu and deal with strangers, but they
are none the less pre-emineutly what the
scientific people designate as “brachy-
cphalic. ”—Good Words.
Watermelon Tests.
I draw 7 my thumbnail over the melon,
scraping off the thin, green skin. If the
edges of the skin on each side of the
scar are left ragged or granulated, and
the rind under the scar is smooth, firm
aud white, and has something of a glossy
appearance, the ihe melon is ripe. But il
edges of the scar are smooth and
even, and the thumbnail has dug into
the rind in pi ices, an i the skiu does not
come off cleau, then the meion is green.
You can easily learn on two melons, one
ripe, the other green, noting the differ¬
ence after they have beeu opened.—

gets inside of you.
He will say it is shaken
and broken up into tiny
drops, becomes an emulsion;
there are other changes, but
this is the first.
He will tell you also that
it is economy to take the oil
broken up, as it is in Scott’s
