Or the New York Dry Goods market the
Independent says there is still moderate
business doiug-mOre in domestic than in
foreign fabrics. The Southern houses are
making purchases Of spring goods, and
the. clothiers are also buying material for
spring clothing. The auction sales are
over, and business is now limited to pri-
vNte trade and leading jobbers. Shnwls,
and heavy clothing generally, are yet in
some demand. Expectations are not fall
ing off, nor likely to. The movement in
domestic goods is steady. The price of
raw cotton is rather tending downwards,
which will keep goods from advancing in
price to the trade. The spring trade pro-
mises to open with good supply, at mo-
derate prices, and with good demand"

Rich Scene at a Depot.

gagged in the : sale of tin whistles. lie in

him he was whistling away on childs
whistle with as much gravity us Ole Bull
or Julien ever drew the bow. His coun-
tenancc was composed, his brows bent,
and his checks pulled up with the har-
mony he was producing. Presently he
paused, some one had picked up whistle.

Characteristic Sayings Of Choate..

The following short dictG are from the
memorials of Rufus Choate, just published
in Boston:
He said che Away IN for the YER

may bristle with dificnltiesAif Ifeel 1 sanl
at is a rich and rare English that one
ought to command who is aiming 10 con-
troll jury's ear" T"Never
cross-examine any more than is absolutely
necessary. If you don't break your wit
ness, he breaks you; for he only repeats
over in stronger language to the jury his
story. Thus you only give him second
chance to tell his story to them, and be-
sides by some random question you may
draw out something damaging to your own
case" .iMAt the outset then you
want to strike into their minds 1.-THE jury
what they WANT good solid general
view of your case; andlet them think over
that for a good while" "If," said he en-
got their convictions ut least open, in your
first half hour or hour, you will never get
them at ALL" GAS he had studied
his jury" says the author, ''till he knew
them every one, SO hewould say something
to hit every one. To his sharpened vision
their faces were as glass" "He would
never allow the jury to perceive him at
issue with the bench" sThe material of
this great advocates argument was mys-
ferrous consolidation ofthe most dogmatic
and positive assertion, the closest logic, the
dryest law, the most glittering poetry, the
most cOnvulsiye humor, fred by an enthu-
siasm uninterrupted and contagious" x
"He constantly put himself into the jury

CHS discussion of the witnesses themselves,
personally, was striking, cunning, and con-
vincing. If he wished to break witness
in the confidence of the jury, he made no
direct assault upon him; that would have
been a bungling and often an Intellectual
proceeding. No, he described the witness
generally, remarking, perhaps, that it was
of very little consequence whether he was
believed or not, but then he would 90 on

THE census that is to be taken next year
ought to be made more minute, full and
accurate than any previous census. The
government might learn something from
the English in this matter. The entire
census of Great Britain was taken in 1851,
in single day, and the reports were coll
lected, compared and published by the
government within three months. This
was accomplished by the division of the
whole country into districts so. small that
q man could collect the statistics of these
districts, in less than a day The number
of these districts was over *, 900, and the
blanks previously prepared by the govern
ment weighed 50 tons.

As Congress has entered upon a new

As Congress has entered upon new
session, one of vast interest to the Amerf-
can people, we deem the present an oppor-
tune occasion to offer the suggestion which
Sidney Smith made to the English Cabinet
Ministers. He suggested that each of them
should procure what he called "foolome-
ter" By this he explained himself to
mean thencquaintance and society of three
or four regular British fools as test of
public opinion. Fox, the great English
Parliamentarian, it is said, had one, in the
person of a certain brainless Lord, that he
frequently used to refer to in his speeches
and conversation. Mr.. Fox used to attach,
great Importance toshis opinion, because
as he was fair representative of the COM
mon prejudices of the English people, all
the great statesman had to do, in order to
insure himself that his sails were rightly
trimmed to catch the popular breeze, was
to get his opinion. Much of his success
in gaining favor of the people was owing
to this very fact Smith, who was phi
losopher'no less than wit, was sharp
enough to perceive what vast benefits nc-
crued to office holders, who, like Fox, kept
q foolometer and observed it. --
Now we, desiring to do as much for our
N. C.'s as Smith did for the English Cabi-
net officers, revive the capital notion
thrown out by him, and with all our ear
most desire for the welfare and greatness of
the mighty men of this Yankee Nation, we
urge upon them the Importance of pro-
curing the article referred to. There are
lots of them to be had and every Congress-
man ought tie have one.
It is vastly important thing to Con-
gresham to be pOpuIar-at least, heought
to be popular enough to be able to obtain
reelection whenever he wishes. To be
popular he must go with the people on all
occasions; nearly any low ofice-seeker
knows this. But the great art is to I'M
derstand exactly AOw to go with them
Sad mistakes are sometims made by young
oT9 4e Ieadlong fellows, who, with all the
~ intentions in the world, get turned
i9 iaround into the face of popular pre-
Z. se. With such fatal mistake the
!, rer for public favor is, of course, to
Iect his political funeral. -
| these mistakes.and all their fatal train
Consequences come of the neglect to
i've foOlOmeter. eteycry N. C. hasten
hen at once, to seek him, out one. Let
him watch it with all the anxiety that the
sailor watches the beacon on tho far off
rocks; let him regard it as the housewife
regards the phases of the moon, whereon
the fate of her kitchen garden depends.
We consider this hint of Sidney Smiths
the best thing that has ever been offered
for the consideration of oftice-holders, and
we present it at this time, hoping that it
will be duly attended to by all concerned.
