j. w. Lassiter, Esq, who is well
and favorably known in Raleigh and the
regions round about, (having been con-
nected with Messrs. Yeargan, Petty s
Co., and afterwards acting as editor OF
Smithfeld Herald for a year or so)-has
taken charge of a very useful business
in the city. What is a "Junk Store ?''
1t is a commission store for certain lines
of goods; odds and ends, second hand
articles, etc.,-in short, a place where
where you can sell everything you have,
and buy almost anything you want. At
the North such stores are very numerous,
and very convenient. Many Southern
families waste hundreds of dollars a year
in scraps, broken stoves, damaged car
pets, which a Northern family would
send to the junk store; and on the
other band, many of US pay the last dollar
for new articles which we could get at the
Junk shop for lalf the money, though
equally serviceable, and perhaps quite as
handsome. Mr.. Lassiter tells Us to as
you to pay him a call, as buyer or seller,
or just to look around.

He Took the RISK and Must Suf-
fer the Penalty.

On Saturday the passenger train from
Raleigh, killed a colored man by the
name of Hardy Blacknall, between Ma
con and Vaughan's Blacknall was UdH~
ing tol0ards the engine as It tfeao along
on q straight track and must have seen 1t,
The engineer, Capt. Ed. Clark, saw him
but thought of course that he would leave
the track in time. Seeing that he had no
idea of doing so Capt. Clark applied the
air brakes, but could not stop In time
and ran over the negro. breaking a leg,
crushing the skull and killing him in
s~tantly. 1t is supposed that Blacknali
was drunk as a bottle was found In his
pocket which had contained whisky bu
was broken. We understand that the
~coroner's jury returned a verdict censuring
the engineer for neglect. Blacknalfs
wife, it is said, will sue the railroad COM
pany for $40, OOO.-Weldon Ne,es.
He was coming up the track meeting
the engine, had his hat pulled down over
his ewes and walking very rapidly, pro-
badly at the rate of FIVE miles an hour.
On getting so dangerously near him and

was very deaf and it was extremely
thoughtless in him to have put himself
in such a dangerous place. -Warrenton
Gazette.
Yes, and when you recollect that no
man can plead ignorance of the danger
(for we prin. a weekly report Of deaf and
drunken men killed on the Railway track,
it docs seem unjust to blame the En-
| gineer, and sue the Railroad for such an
accident. The darkey was a trespasser
there are public roads for all pedestrians,
and when he chose the pathway of the
locomotive for his owu conve nience, he
tacitly agreed to run all the risks. This
would be true of any man, but how much
more so In the case of a deaf man! 1t
really would seem incredible hat a deaf
person should venture on the track at
any time, if we did not know that many
people who are supposed to possess good
| sense, make a practice of using the kero-
sene can to start their fires notwithstand-
| ing the daily slaughter. In truth instead
of blaming an engineer, the law might
more reasonably lay a penalty on the
track~walker; because the latter not only
~endangers his own life, but also endangers
the whole train-load of helpless passen'
gers. Many a train has been wrecked BY
a human body under the wheels.
And as for blowing the whistle and
checking speed If this were required il
all cases many trains could not make five
miles an hour, for there are tramps al
every half mile post, and many of then
stick to the track until the engines nose
roots them off.

GEoRGIA'S ELECTRIC GIRL.-Atanta,
Ga, Jan. 2l.-The wonderful electric
girl, Lula Hurst, of Collardtown, gave
an exhibition of her mysterious power at
De Gives Opera House in the presence
over 1000 people. She is a plain look
small, light-blue eyes, and pallid face.
mother sat with her on the stage and
watched the manifestations with the
keenest interest, as did the entire au-
dience. A committee of Atlanta gentle
men noted for their great muscular
strength were invited on the stage. In
turn they held firmly to the rounds Of an
ordinary chair, upon the back Of which
Miss Lula simply laid her fingers, when
it careened over the stage with fearful
force, throwing the gentlemen about as if
they were babies. Several cords were
tied to a common umbrella, which was
hoisted in the center of the stage. Miss
Lula caught lightly hold of the handle
while the gentlemen gripped up the
cords. In a moment the umbrella
doubled up, pulling the men around the
stage, and was soon twisted into pieces.
She next placed her palms under the
bottom of the chair, holding it off in the
air at arms length. One of the largest
and most powerful men threw his weight
on the chair, and after a severe struggle
succeeded in pressing it to the floor,
when it sprang up and laid him on his
back in the middle of the stage. Then
the strongest man in the party sat on the
chair, gripping the rounds with all his
might. The girl laid her fingers on the
back, and the chair flew up and dumped
the young man on his back. By touch
ing a common hickory stick she wrenched
it from the grasp of strong men, who
struggled over the stage as if staggered
by some mighty force. The audience
applauded wildly. All are convinced
that the girl possesses some supernatural
power, but none can explain it. Miss
Hurst knows not what it is. Some think
it electricity, others magnetism, many
spirits, and a few the devil. Your cor
respondent was on the stage and watched
closely. The girl is no humbug, but has
the faculty of surcharging inanimate OBJ
jects, including non conductors of electro
city. such as glass and marble, with a
mighty and mysterious force, which
science is left to explain if it can. She
is tie sensation of the town.

Mr.. Payson from the committee on public
lands, reported favorably with an amend
ment the Senate bill iorfeiting the land
grant to the St. Louis and Iron Mountain
railroad. The amendment Is quite an i'm.
portant one, as it makes the bill much more
effective. Said Mr.. Payson to a
correspondent: ''The bill, while
it looked very nioes was very roughly
drawn, and was In such shape that the
company could have kept the lands In ques.
ten out Of the market for yesrsif It had so
desired. The bill as passed by the Senate,
that the road shall after the passage Of the
act notify the authorities Of the acceptance
Of the terms Of this bill, aud also notify
the Secretary of the Interior what lands,
II any, have been sold, and that after
these things have been done the lands may
be placed on the market This wOu ID have
permitted the company to
keep the lands out of the market and de.
feat the purpose Of the bill for o long
time. Our amendment forfeits the lands
absolutely and makes the forfeiture take
effect at once. The bill will pass the
House with little delay.'
