Dog Collars That Cost wore
Than the Boasts Arc Worth.

Yes" said the d~og-collar merchant.
I'VE have come very queer customers.
In those cases we have about l,5OO pat
terms in dog collars | see you look
somewhat astonished, but If you were
here for a little while you wouldn t be
surprised. There's a modest little collar
that we sell to the dealers for 25 cents,
and here's one of solid silver, made to
match a lady's bangle bracelet, that you
can have for $55. That's about the
range of prices. This collar was order
ed to match a silver bracelet. Ladies
are u best customers and they will
buy the most expensive goods. Sports
men buy a cheap, substantial collar.
They are like ~southerners With a $5OO
gold watch and shoe,string for a guard.
4 81, 900 dog belonging to a sportsman
with a dollar and a half collar, while q
cur l wouldn't give house room will
sometimes wear from $40 to $50 worth
of trappings. Pug dogs are now oil the
90 and there is no limit to the price
paid for them. As high IS $500 will be
paid for one by a lady sometimes and
then it is brought to Us to rig.out. Let
me show YOU some blankets for pugs.
These bring from s. to SIS each but
we have some even more expensive.
"Are collars any protection against
dog thieves ?" inquired the reporter.
Again Mr.. Bremen smiled as he replied:
They take the dog and collar both.
The other day a we'll known gentleman
came to me for q collar with an inscrip-
ton plate on it. He had engraved on
the plate:
"'Ifthis dog il returned to -7,
$40 reward will be paid
Il told him that he wa. encouraging
dog thieves, and besides, the dog, in my
estimation. was not worth the reward.
He sadly shook his head as ne said !:
Mr.. Bremen, that dog belongs to my
wife. She is as fond of him as she Is
of me- But there is one kind OF Gus
toner that makes me sick. That Dthe
young man who wants a collar for his
girls dog. He's always got a smile on
his face when he wants this inscription :
"'Bow, WOW, WOW!
I'm Sadie Smiths dog;
Whose dog are you!
''Then he smiles again as if he has hit
on something original. If we don't
laugh why We lose his custom. '-Nc.c

WASHINGTON GossIr.-Reported t.

WASHINGTON GossIr.-Reported to
the Charlotte Observer =
The dead lock in North Carolina ap-
pointments came uear being broken
this week by a decision in the Eastern
district judgeship. 1t was, however,
averted oy prompt action on tn. part
Of one of the former candidates.
Judge Buxton had so impressed the
Attorney General with his claim that
he had decided to recommend his app
pointment to the President. Solicitor
General Phillips had also interested
himself in Buttons favor and was
backing up Mr.. Brewster in his choice.
The name Of Mr. Buxton was there
fore sent to the President and he de-
cided to make the appointment, when
the matter came to the attention Of
Judge Russell. He fastened to the
White House and induced the Presi
dent to withhold the appointment for
a short time and then he hurried him
self over to the Attorney Gensra,'s Of
flee and withdrew his application in
favor of Judge Seymour. The matter
now stands in statu quo, the President
having reconsidered his determination
to appoint Judge Buxton and left the
office open. This coup detat has up
set tie states. 1t is still believed that
Buxton has the best chance.
Senator Vance has introduced 4 bill
in the Senate making it unlawful for
the newspapers of Washington to pub
lish the advertisements of lotteries aud
Furnishing any on e who INDUCES in the
sale of lottery tickets.
1t is generally conceded here that
North Carolina ha. a stronger repre-
sentation in Congress now that at any
period since the war.
Mr.. j. w. Bowman, of Mitchell coun
ty, has filed his application for the col
lectorship of the 9th district. This
makes four candidates in the field, viz:
Mr.. jenkins, Mr.. Cowles, Mr.. Cooper
and Mr.. Bowman.
Petitions asking for the removal Of
Collector Everitt continue to pour in
at the rate Of several hundred a week.

TIE HORRIBLE MURDER IN N1W-
BERN. Mr.. Joseph NJ. Agostiai, whose
murder in Newbern on THURSDAY night
last was mentioned in our Geographic
columns yesterday, vas q brother OF
Mr.. F. NJ. Agostini, ST., of Whining
ton. W. find full particulars of the
dastardly deed in the Newbern Com
merctul NeUs:
Mr.. Magilton. clerk. Mr.. Galloway.
telegraph operator, Mr.. Joseph NJ.
Agostini, night Waterman, and Henry
Bryan, 4 colored employe Of the Mid
land, were in the ticket Office of the
road. Mr.. Agostini was sitting by the
stove warming. Mr.. Magilton was en-
gagged in writing at the desk, and re-
quested the negro to cease talking, as
he had important work to do. MIR.
Asostini, rising from his seat and
touching the colored man on the lapel
Of the coat, remarked pleasantly. Come,
gentlemen Bryan was talking some
what loudly and became angered at be-
ing told to leave the office, and as quick
as a fash struck Mr.. Agostini a blow
it wa. thought by the ~bystandcrs on the
face-the report sounding like q slap,
and Immediately Mr.. Agostini sank in
a chair. The parties present wero sur
prised at the assault, and rushing to
the aid of the old gentleman, they dis
covered that he was stabbed in the neck.
The murderer made no effort to escape.
He stood mute and %sullen, with his
cotton hook In his hand, while Mr.. Ag>
ostini was being removed to a table and
his wound bathed. Moses Mason, con-
stable, appeared promptly on the scene,
and took Bryan in charge and to the
Jail. The officer demanded his knife,
but Bryan said be had none; that it
broke off when he cut Dir. Agostini.
A few minutes after the murderer was
removed, Mr.. Agostini breathed his
last, having lived some twenty minutes
after the cutting, but speaking no work,
ave once to murmur ind~istinstly wa
ter"
Henry Bryan has a peculiar disposition
it is said, and has generally been regard
ed as crazy, although permitted to 90 at
large and earn his living. Report says
that he was regarded rs dangerous. this
being the third offence Of this kind, but
the other two not fatal.

RALEIGH RIrPLEs.-It is not to be
denied that Raleigh's chief drawback is
a lack of wide-awakedness and public
spiritedness among her citizens; lone
Of whom we are which, We have
heretofore referred to the fact that al
though the capital of a great State, the
city is a village in respect to public
corvenienceS. etc. Street cars, tele
phones, libraries, club houses, etc., all
are lacking. We do not even lay claim
10 those things which are attainable at
public expense.
Take an illustration. The Z. S.
postal law allows a free delivery OF the
msils, by uniformed carrier, to all
towns of 80, 600 population or where
the income of the p~ostoffice reaches
$40 600 a e a Our city has not yet
reached $1,000 inhabitants but the
receipts Of our p~ostofice are about S2l,-
900 a year, which clearly entities US to
the delivery by carrier. Moreover, as
we learn from Col. Walter Clarke who
has investigated the subject, there are
some ten or more towns Of (less than
10000 population) about the size Of
Raleigh which have the Free Delivery,
by permission Of the postal authori-
ties. We trust our leading citizens will
exert themselves to secure the Carriers
for Raleigh. The day has come when
every city in the land is crowding to get
Federal money for its improvement,
convenience, and business expansion.
If the South is to be robbed of millions
yearly in protective taxes, let us try to
get back a pinch or two for local i'm
provements. by the by, is it true
that the street car company chartered
by the last Legislature will shortly start
a line of fat boats? If not, why not?

A MYSTERY SOLvED.-To those who
we're familiar with the origin of the
American Agricultural Association and
the antecedents Of its Secretary, who is
also editor of its journal, it was a mys
terry where the funds came from t. pub
lish and distribute many thousands OF
copies Of Its second issue, containing
Hon. Edward Atkinson's article, The
Railroad and the Farmer" Gen. Diven,
President OF the New York State Far
nsrs' Alliance, in an article published
ia the Husbandman, limited at the
source from which the funds were de-
rived, but the mystery il nov cleared
up by the direct statement contained in
an answer to Mr. Atkinson's article by
Hon. l.. +. Chittenden, that it was paid
for by the railroads. 1t has been kno,on
for some time that the ra,h Dads main
tam q literary bureau in NeU York c1tu.
from uhencs sophistical and specaously
urattcn articles IN their favor have been
sent out to the country press, but it is a
new thing for them to try and capture
agricultural associations. At a recent
meeting of the Bedford Farmers Club.
it was publicly stated that the Amer,
can Agricultural Association" was being
run for the benefit of private interests.
and it o appears that Mr.. Rsall, the
Secretary and Editor" has acted as
salesman for Mr.. Francis d Moulton.
who is in the salt trade. Mr.. Moulton,
Mr.. Reall, and two of their New York
friends, constitute four out of the FIVE
trustees. The names of Mr.. Real and
Mr.. Moulton appear as directors, and
MIR. Moulton AS Chairman of the FL
Committee, while Mr.. McLaren.
a friend of Mr.. Moulton, is put down
as Treasurer. 1t would be interesting
to know how often the other gentlemen
whose names appear az Director. and
vlcs-presidents have attended the meet
lngs of the association, and whether
special rates on Mr.. Aoulton' 8 salt, as
well as railroad fund to run the journal
Of the Amerscan Agricultural Assocta
ton. The estImable gentlemen whose
names appear in the list of directors and
members cannot afford to lend their
names to forward private schemes, and
If they continue there it is to be hoped
that the directors will direct and not be
directed The Husbondman.
