The Field and Fireside.—This literary
weekly, which our readers may remember as,
for years previous to - the war, owned and pub
lished In this city, is now issued in Raleigh,
North Carolina, by its present proprietors, Wm.
B. Smith & Co., and regularly makes it welcome
advent into our sunctum. Os nil the purely lit
erary papers of the South, it alone, we believe,
survived the war, and now conies to us in a form
that entitles it to support, as being not only a
vigorous but a most entertaining journal. Poli
ties are rigorously eschewed in its columns,
aud, besides One valuable department exclu
sively devoted to agricultural, industrial and
household matters, each number contains from
eight to ten original poems, tales, essays, sketch
es, or miscellaneous articles. The number now
before us is printed on fine, smooth, white pa
per, from au entirely new font of type, and in a
very neat and chaste style of typography.
The horrid blunders unfortunately so com
mon now iu our Southern papers are carefully
guarded against, aud we cannot hut honestly
thiuk that in every detail of appearance this
staunch old Southern literary will compete, on
the moat equal terms, with eh Lot the Ledger or
Harper's Weekly. As regards its literary merit '•
wo deem it very greatly the superior of either j
iu point of purity, good sense, or propriety.— j
Some of the best writers in the South contribute
to its columns, and the interest of their prodne.
tious is never sullied by that filthy sensational
ism that disgraces so much of Northern period

Theo. H. Hill, Esq., a North Carolinian, who

then a translation from the German of Ritter ;
then anotlwr long story ; a column of literary
and miscellaneous intelligence, and to cap all,
one solid page of very valuable agricultural aud
household rending, hints as to gardening, re
pipes, etc. Now, all this makes up a hulk of
matter not only of interest but of real value, so
much *o that, though not given to praise, we
deem the Field and Fire tide the best literary

Selling Goods jiy Sample.— For the benefit
of persons who may visit this city to sell goods
on sample, we would state that there is an ordi
siuncc against the same. Yesterday J. R. t'ham
berlain. of Rochester or Brooklyn, X. y., was
offering goods for sale by sample, and he was
taken before the cleric of the police office by
license inspector Joseph Jeans, where a warrant
was issued against him. — Lomsi'i/la Democrat.

Are subject to heavy uses—city, county, State

.meet.- These taxes take away large portions of
their income. An agent from a Northern house
visits this city, sells goods by sample, uud for

iuerchauts are compelled to pay. - The agents

gooffs at reduced prices, while the legitimate
and licensed deiders cannot fairly compete with
them.
Injustice to our merchants this 6hould be re

by the municipal authority.

has not enjoyed the confidence of the Radical
plotters since the commencement of the session.

Pen-antl-Lik Sketches of Legislators,
HON. DAVID E. BUTLER.
This Senator represents the 28th district, com
posed of the counties 'of Morgan, Putnam and
Jasper. There are few men whoso entire course
of conduct from their “ youth up ” is more con
sistent aud blameless than that of him whose
iarit-f sketch I will next attempt, but with fee
bleness to portray. From his birth and through
hip. boyhood he lived upon a farm in the county
of Wilkes, remote from the temptations and
allurements of city life, and under the iuflueuee
and guidance of religious example and teaching.
Endowed with a liberal education, he com
menced the study of law under the tuition of
that eminent jurist, the Hon. Robert Toombs,
and completed liis course at the law school of
the University of Virginia. Devoting a few
years to the practice of his profession, he atian
doned it to embark, as be vainly supposed, in
tbc move lucrative pursuits of mercantile life, in '
the city of Augusta. His career as a merchant
suddenly and sadly terminating, he removed to
Madison, where he soon married and settled
upon a farm. Fitted by liis taste and education
for a field of more active and enlarged useful
ness, he was not content that “his light should
be hid under a bushel.” Actuated, therefore, by
a desire to do good in liis day and generation,
auil in obedience to a solemn sense of Christian
duty, lie was ordained to the ministry of tho
Baptist Church, which profession he beautifully
adorns and illustrates by a “godly walk and
conversation." liis name is familiar to the
brethren of the “mystic tio" throughout Geor
gia. As a testimonial of their appreciation of
his exalted worth, he was elevated to the distin
guished position of a Master of the Grand Lodge
of Masons in the State; and in him that time
honored institution lias an aide and zealous ad‘
j vocate, nnd a bright exemplar of the principles
and tenets which it inculcates.
lie is without experience as a legislator ; but
the purity of his character and the soundness of
his judgment eminently quality him for uscftil
nesss in the councils of the State. So far he
has indulged to n moderate degree in the de'
I bates in the .Senate. His speeches are always
short but pertinent, anti evince thorough, tnen
i l>il, tUm ipliiio uud sound piartic.il sense, liia
style of declamation is slow and mensured, his
■ enunciation distinct and emphatic, and his lau-
guage expressive and chaste As a literary ef
fort, his speech upon the bill of the Senate to
establish a State Orphan V (Tome has uot been
excelled, if equaled during the session. The
subject called forth .J) the generous impulses of
his nature, aud at the close of his earnest and
eloquent appeal in behalf of the helpless child,
whose lather now till.-, the patriot soldiers grave,
the venerable aud much respected Senator froth
the 25th District, wito sets upon Me left, arose
from his v ' *fh a tremor upon his lips,
■a With eyes filled with tears, said: “Mr. Pres
ident, i call tor ike yeas and nays upon the pass
sage of this Dili— l nI Mi the Journal of the Sen
ate to attest the’unanlmlty with which it passed.”
The roll was called, and uot » vote oi,i.>.u .... ,
correct against It. rn the present exhausted
condition of the Treasury, the State is unable
to give material aid to that good work. If Mr.
Butler would only go about among tho people
and appeal to them iu its behalf, it would be es
tablished at once upon a sure foundation. But
I forbear. His generous nature, pleasing ad
dress nnd good sense qualify him for much use
fulness, aud he has the energy and will to ad
vance any object looking to tho welfare of the
people of liis State. He is about 48 years of
age. May lie long liv; to enjoy the rewards of
a well-spent life of usefulness and honor.
• cor., t. .r. SMITH.
This gentleman represents the county of Han
cock, and is one of the most useful and influen
tial members of tlie Legislature. His infiuouee
is pot exerted in set speeches, but rests upon
bis intelligent work iu the committee rooms,
and upon a high but very quiet power which
he has of rendering men unwilling- to differ
from him, when thrown into intimate contact
with him. He is also recognized as one of the
few who, in the present body, have some legis
lative experience, he having sovcral times rep
resented his county iu the “ piping times of
peace.” He, however, took an early, active
and honorable participation in the war; and
during that time he neither filled nor sought
any office outside ot the army. His appearance
is highly manly and engaging, with a decidedly
military bearing, which was carried with him
into tho army, and not borrowed from it. His
character is in full harmony with these exterior
indications. The sterner virtues of truth, jus
tice, honor, aud remarkable energy are grace
fully softened by his high susceptibility and
great fondness for the good opinions of his
friends, and a most loynl devotion to their ser
vice. The elegant hospitality dispensed by him
nnd Mrs. Smith, at their beautiful seat of Glen
Nady, is particularly known aud highly appre
ciated by a wide 'circle of friends. When he
was quite a young man lie established a reputa
tion, which he has since greatly enlarged, as au
eminently ‘successful Senator. He is one of the
very few men who succeeded in getting efficient
work out of the freedmeu during ihe great sa
turnalia of idleness and intoxication which fol
lowed as the first fruits of their freedom. In
deed, throughout his whole life he has been dis
tinguished for succeeding in whatever he at
tempted. Tlie people of his county have al
ways delighted to honor him, and he has never
failed to repay them with most intelligent und
faithful service. *
The Hudson River. Bridged.—A bridge has
recently been constructed over the Hudson
river at Albany. It is about a mile in length
and thirty feet in height from high water mark.
The work was eommenoed in June, 1884. The
bridge rests on twenty abutments, and has a
draw which, when quarter open, will admit the
passage of ten vessels of the largest size at the
same time. The structure contains 2,000,000
feet of timber, 2,000 ties aud 100 tons of cast
iron. Its estimated cost is *1,200,000. On the
22d of February a train of cars passed over the
bridge for the first time. This month trains
will run regularly oyer the bridge, so that pas
sengers will be enabled to go from New York
to Buffalo without change of-cars. It is also
under consideration to build another bridge, to
be made of iron, and to supersede tho present
one at some future time.
A Costlt Anchorage.— There are ten
anchors, weighing 8,000 pounds each, and one

them from the tremendous power of tho ice.

[From the Rev. W. D. Seigfrled, Pastor of Twelfth
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.l
Gentle non : I have recently been laboring under the
distressing effects of Indigestion, accompanied by n
prostration of the nervous aystem. Numerous mine
dies were recommended by friends, and some of them
tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland’s German
Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters
Induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an *
aversion to Patent Medicines trom the “thousand and
one” quack “ Bitters,” whose only aim seems to be to
palm off'sweeten and drugged liquor upon the ooramu
iiity In a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is
to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning
that yours was really a medicinal preparation, I took
it with happy effect. Its action, uot only upon the
ttomach. hut upon the nervous system, was prompt
and gratifying. I feel that I have derived great turd
permanent benetlt from the use of a few bottles.

I [From Rev. D. Menlge, Pastor ol the Possvunk Bap

From the many respectable recommendations given
to Dr. Ilpolland’i German Bitters, l was induced to

[ From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor ol the Viu
dentown and Millville (N. J,[ Baptist Churches, j
Having used in my family a number of bottles oi
your Hoofland’s German Bitters, 1 have to say that 1
iegard them as an excellent medicine, specially adapt
ed to remove the diseases they are recommend tor.
They strengthen and invigorate the system when de
hilliuted, and are useful In disorders of the liver, loss
of appetite, Ac. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found
them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.

[From tb* Rev. Joseph H. Keunard, Pastor ot the
Tenth Baptist Church.)
1 have been frequently requested to connect m v name
with commendations of different kinds of medicine*,,
but regarding the practice as out of my appropriate
sphere, I have in all cases declined; but with a clear
proof In various Instances, and particularly in ray own
family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hooffand’s German
Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to
express my full conviction that, for general debility of
the system, and especially for Liver Complaint, it Is a
safe and valuable preparation. In some cases it may
fall; but usually, I doubt not, it will be vefy beneficial
to those who suffer from the above causes.
Yours, very respectfully,
