A BOOk.-When the Union army passed
through Wake County, in April, 1865, number
of &c bummers'' went to the house of John Rose
mond, four miles west of Raleigh, and took from
him number of articles, among them Prayer
Book of the Roman Catholic Church. printed in
the Polish language. This book was the only
memento the owner possessed, of his deceased
father and on that account it was highly priced.
1t was bound in dark leather, with an imitation
of small cross enclosed in a circle, in gilt, on
one side, and on the other gilt circle enclosing
the letter M.
On fy-leaf of one side was written that the
book was sent from Poland to John Rosemond
by his brother memento of his father-on the
other side is written request that the book
should be buried in the coffin with the owner,
when he dies.
1t is probable that it was thrown aside or left
somewhere in the country by those who took it,
and, as the owner prizes it very highly, he hopes
to have it returned to him, and he is willing to
pay handsome reward for its recovery. He may
be found at the Standard Office.
Mr.. Rosemond respectfully asks other papers
of the State to copy this notice.

Rascallty again on Rampage.-Some
of the old rats who took fright last winter on the
doubling of the police force, seem to have gotten
their scare, and are coming out of their holes
again. On Monday night the shop of Mr.. Bell
gun and lock smith, on Wilmington street was
entered, and a number of instruments and about
two hundred keys and skeleton keys taken for
the purpose, no doubt, of picking locks when &C.

On Tuesday night, the rogues were out again.
and made two attempts at entering stores on Fay
etteville street. They successful in the at
tempt on the jewelry store of Mr. John c. Palmer
which they entered by removing a pane of glass
over the front door. 1t appears they first made
an effort TO force the back door, and also endea-
vored to force open house in the back lot of the
premises, but were frightened from there by a
freedman who happened to be passing. They
then effected an entrance from the front, stat
ed, and stole some watches, quantity of silver
forks and spoons and lot of rings The most
valuable of the watches and jewelry were in a safe
place, and they failed to get them.
Their next attempt was on the store of Messrs
Heal tt and Lewis, where they tried to make an
entrance by boring through the front door, but
in which they failed, although they bored nine
holes around the hasp of the door.
Now these things done on Fayetteville
street the most public street in the City-the
shining brightly-weather clear and not incle-
ment, and policeman on the beat. People are in
lquirng how these acts could be done without de-
lection, and think there is, in the absence Of
any special explanation, ground for the inquiry.
These acts of roguery, taken with other pre-
nonitory symptoms that have lately been de-
keopng themselves show that the old disease of
,Eascality-muggng HOUSEKEEPING and thieving
lgeneraly-is about to break out again in all its
lyirulence and it therefore becomes necessary to
linaugurate stringent measures again to prevent
Its spread, and its attacks.

Are Mail Carrier.

Are Mail Carriers Officers 1--WE were,
perhaps, not sufficient clear in our answer to an
enquiry of the Charlotte Democrat, last week, in
regard to mail carriers and contractors being re-
CURED to take the "test OATH As stated by US
last week. contractors and mail carriers under the
ConfeGeracy, are not considered officers in the
light that would include them in any of tse excep-
lions to amnesty granted in the Presidents pro-
clamation, and consequently not required to have
a special pardon, but they are required to take
the test oath on being appointed to any position
under the Federal government, just as any other
person would be. All persons holding positions
of trust under the Federal government, whether
contractors, mail carriers, or any other appoint
ment, in the States engaged in the rebellion, are
required to take the test oath before they en-
ter upon the discharge of duty. This under
stand to be the law and the decision thereon by
the Attorney General in regard to this matter.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY
WASHINGTON. March 10. 1886.


The Galena Qll) Daily Gazette of the
14th inst, has an article evidently written by
Gen. Grants immediate friends called forth
by the fact that "snme time since a
Republican and Union meeting in rhe city
of Rochester, n. Y, had nominated Lieut.
General Grant as the Union candidate for
the Presidency in 1865" 1t is very signifi-
cant. While the attempt to nominate the
General for that office is characterized as
g premature agitation" the writer states that
{. his friends look forward with pride and
hope to the time when he shall receive the
highest Office which can be bestowed upon
him by grateful people, as a reward for the
inestimable services he has rendered his
country" The article SAYS that g. he takes
no part with the president as against Con-
gress, and no part with Congress as against
the President" His official acts" are his
present platform. His views in regard to
the necessity of the freedmen's bureau and
the keeping the troops in the rebel States are
recorded His orders for the protection
of Union men in the South, his suppression
of disloyal papers in the South and his
opinion of disloyal papers in the North are
also on record" HIS ooritten doclarution
nearly three months IN adcance Of Mr.. Lin
coins Immortal proclamation, that slace,.y
siOuld be aoiped ont before the qoar ended, IS
aceU knOaon to all intelligent men," This i'm
portant declaration is succeeded by an itali-
cised passage, which is as follows:
We know that all General Grants hopes
and sympathies are with the great and pa
triotic Union party of this country In feel
ing and in sentiment he is strongly identified
with the millions of loyal people who, in the
long years Of war and carnage and blood,
gave their hearts, their blood, and their trea-
sure to their country. We have neither
sympathy nor liberation for any party, nor
any set of men, who were against the coun-
try in its terrible time of trial and peril
through which it is has safely passed.

Chiriqui Images.-We have had the pleasure
of examining quantity of gold received by Dr. j.

their medicines, which are extensively sold
throughout Central America. Among massive
crosses, bracelets and chains, the rude images
which have been taken from the graves of the
Chiriaui chiefs-birds turtles, serpents, bugs and
reptiles done in solid gold. They carry us back
beyond historic times to periods and places where
barbarism reigned supreme. They seem to come

of their ancestors, to ask for the simple Indians
