North Carolina.

The assaults made upon Mr. Keogh lately by
THE REPUBLICAN, are inexplicable. Those VINO
know anything OF his feelings about the situation
here are Mt loss to account for the course OF that
paper Greensboro Nv. C) North State.
The above is from the newspaper owned
by Colonel Keogh. 1t is an extract from
q lengthy editorial complaining of injus-
tce done that gentleman by this paper
The statement made by us that the North
State opposes the Republican county
nominations of Guilford County is de-
MED. We are glad to be corrected. Our
statement was founded, as we now recol-
lect it, upon an editorial in the North
STATE (of probably the 9th instant, in
which the county convention was
harshly denounced, and from that
we inferred that its nominees were
not being supported by that paper. We
shall not undertake to prove so obvious
n fact as that the North State is opposed
to the North Carolina Coalition. We
shall not believe that Colonel Keogh
differs from his paper unless he says so.
If che has no connection with active
politics." then we are greatly misin-
formed. If he is not doing all he can to
make the Coalition failure, then
he is misunderstood by some of
his iire-tried" friends. This is
no crime in him. We do not
deny his right to pursue the course he
has marked out for himself We have
long been friends, and shall be glad so to
continue; but this will not cause us to
refrain from expressing disappointment
at his attitude in the present campaign.
If he is not opposing the ticket indorsed
by the Republican State Convention
of North Carolina, then we have
done him injustice. Otherwise, other
wise. We have been led to be-
lieve that his opposition was of
pronounced character and that it was
doing harm. That harm we desired to
aid in counteracting. We hope those
who supported General Grant at Chicago,
as we did, will not fail to deal all their
blows at the enemies of a free ballot and
o fair count. We hope that the Coali-
ton will lose no votes of Grant men sim
ply because some of "the Sherman
crowd" or any others are earnestly en-
gagged in it. That is what we mean, and
that is what there is every reason to be-
lieye General Grant would say were he
to speak at all. The North STATES query
of "Why, then, should he Colonel
Keogh) be Indignantly pursued by the
party organ at the National Capital ?" is
not pertinent to anything we have said.

THE MAINE ICE TRADE.


Maine letter to the Hartford Times of last
evening says:
A large amount Of ice Is cut In this state every
year, and Gardiner Is the center of theice trade.
The kennebec river Is lined with ice houses
from Hallowell the head Of navigation) to
Merrymeeting bay, distance Of twenty five
miles. Many of the houses are nicely built and
painted, while others are rough, with boards
sticking In every direction. The past winter was
considered one of the worst ever known for
storing ice. The winter was late, and when
the cold weather came the river froze in very
bad condition, most Of the fields requiring plan
Ing. Then the snow storms came in quick
succession, and great deal Of scraping
was necessary. The amount of ice stored the
past winter was not much more than one-half
the usual crop. The total amount harvested in
the state was L. 64, 600 tons The Kennebec
river comes first with ,029 900 tons. the Penob-
scot river with LAG, 900 TONS the Cathance river
80, 600 tOns and 35O, 900 tons were housed on the
coast. The Knickerbocker company, of Phila-
delphia, has stored 1913 900 tons on the Kenne-
bee river and IS, 900 tons on the coast. New
York, Washington. Baltimore, Boston and other
companies have large amounts of ice harvested,
mostly on the Kennebec. Abram Rich is the
largest single dealer in the state, he having
$4,000 tons to dispose Of Usually by the first OF
June the river is full of vessels loading with ice,
but the Geld weather has prevented any great
demand being made thus far this season. The
price at present is about $3.50 per ton on board
the vessel.

A day or two since, an unsophisticated
darkey waited upon certain military gentle
man with bill of $1.15 for washing done at
the camp hospital, which, after undergoing a
rigid scrutiny by the officer, was returned with
the following explanation, which the astonished
son Of Ethiopia listened to with an equal
amount Of wonder and perplexity:
''This bill" said the military gentleman, twill

general at Washington, and he will report to
the adjutant-g general, who will lay it before the
Secretary Of War for his approval. The adju-
tant being satisfied, it will be sent to the audi
tor Of state, who will approve Of it and send it
to the Secretary of the Treasury who will send
it to the United States Treasurer, who will at
once dispatch an order to the collector OF this
port to pay the BILL"
The darkey relieved himself Of long-drawn
sigh. Then, massa," he remarked, Z" dat last
gentleman you spoke of pays for de washing,

"No," continued the other che will hand it
to the quartermaster; but as there is no such
officer here at present, some proper person must
be appointed by the Secretary of War, under
direction of the President, and his appointment
must be approved by the Senate. Congress not
being in session now, the commission cannot be
issued until after it meets. When this commits
sion Is received the quartermaster will show it

who, however, coats his material with thin layer
OF tin instead of silk. The modus operandi is
described as follows: He first makes q mixture
of zinc powder and dissolved albumen, which he
spreads oyer the fabric by means of brush,
leaving it to dry, when the stuff ia passed first
through superheated steam and afterwards
through a solution Of chloride of tin. By this
means an exceedingly thin layer Of tin is spread
over the whole side OF the fabric, which is thus
rendered waterproof and protected against ordi-
nary rough usage. The utility of the invention
is not quite apparent, for probably few people
would care to don garments in which they
would bear q very close resemblance to ami
mated kettles and tea-pots; though In the prep
aration Of theatrical dresses and even Of the
bright trimmings in which the female heart
delights, the invention might find limited ap-
plicatiOn.
