deposited in the nests of small birds, the
result is often very ludicrous, the young
fledglings being as large as the foster

nest in Australia in which the young
cuckoo completely filled it, and was
nearly twice as large as the poor mother,
who was undoubtedly amazed at the
enormous dimensions of her offspring. :"

The showing for 1888 is very good indeed,
Raleigh has established itself as a cotton
market OF great importance for inland
town, and it is sure to hold all the trade in
this hne that naturally belongs to it.
The facilities of our cotton dealers for
receiving telegraphic reports of the mar
ket and for handling, weighing, storing and
shipping are all that any market has.

Formulation and Death Rate.

During the year 1888 the city was
numbered and the corners Of the streets
properly lettered preparatory to the es-
tablishment of free delivery of letters by
carriers of the post office. This system
will 90 into effect as soon as the regular
postal appropriation bill shall be passed
bv Congress- The postal receipts show
that Raleigh affords the Postal Depart
ment larger revenue than any other
city of its population in the United
States The number of houses in the
city is 1925.
The population of Raleigh is 13, 1O4,
against 10, SIS in 1880. The death rate
is very low-only II to the 1000 How
low this is may be judged from the fact
that New York's death rate is 80 to the
1000, and Norfolks 1880. The reason
lof this favorable death rate is the de-
ightful climate, and the fact that the
Place is well drained, but not as well as
It's natural advantages of situation,
Which permit the city to reach supreme
excellence in that regard would allow.

balance, s4S, 800 in market house bonds at
5 per cent, and $l31, 600 in six per cents.
Towards the payment of these there is in
the sinking fund s62. 900. leaving the debt,
less sinking fund, Sis, 100. The increase
of the sinking fund has been at the rate
Of $4,000 per anuum, the tax devoted to
that purpose having been one-third OF one
per cent. This has this year been reduced
to one-fifth Of one per cent, but as the
amount in the sinking fund has increased,
it consequently draws a larger amount
of interest The growth of the fund, and
consequent reduction Of the debt will be
Of nearly the same amount. In nine years
the debt has been reduced 1900, while
the market value of the six per cent. bonds
has gone up from 40 to par, and the eight
percents are held at 1.20. These will be
paid of in five years.
The assessors have rated the real prop
erty in the city at about tWo-thirds OF its
value, so that four millions will be fair
estimate of the real value of the real es-
tate Of the city.
The foregoing statistics Of the personal
property and merchandise bear no easily
estimable relation to the correct figures.
The returns are made at very low guess

THIS IS A CITY,
For Suppers Like Moseley's are Never
Got iu Country Town.

Moseley's mark the difference between
the country town that Raleigh used to be
and the city it now is. For civilization
demands place where a quiet dinner,
served as one wishes it. and at any hour,
can be enjoyed. Moseley's dining rooms
for ladies and gentlemen is the only place
in Raleigh, and that Raleigh is thankful
for it is attested by the patronage it re-
ceives. A city thrice as large might not
afford Moseley.
CONNECTIONS and toys are sold there
likewise, but it is on the dining rooms that
fame rests, not hereabouts only, but in
every part Of the Stote whence visitors
come. Not a few of the most distin guished
gentlemen who visit the capital take quiet
rooms and quiet meals there.
We might possibly do without the Cap
itol, and the Supreme Court, but not with
out Moseley.
With the growth OF Durham the bank of
Durham grows in importance and its facil-
tiles for doing business increase. When the
name of Col. w. I. Blackwell and Mr.. +.
A. Wiley are mentioned in financial
circles in North Carolina, no explanation
or comment is necessary.

BUSINESS PROJECTS
Ihat have been Talked about in Raj
eIsh as PrOfitabIe--Whyn not?


Enough cotton comes here and is within
easy reach OF this city, it has frequently
been said, to warrant the erection Of a cot
ton compress. The saving Of freight from
tins point to the seab0ard would be enor-
nous every year. TLis must come one Of
these years.
The same facts, it is believed, would
make cotton-seed oil mill profitable The
oIl-mlll is fast coming to be one OF the
profits and necessities Of every cotton
growing community.
1t is hoped that a tobacco warehouse will
be built in Raleigh soon. If the agitation
of the subject Of tobacco culture N Wake
and Johnston is continued for another year,
enough farmers will undertake the culture
to warrant the erection Of warehouse.
And the erection of a warehouse would
stimulate the farmers. 1t seems certain
that to the agricultural products of this i'm
mediate section, tobacco will speedily be
added If this be SO, the time will come
when the erection Of tobacco factories will
be a necessity.
There is little Likelihood that cotton mills
will be erected at Raleigh at any early day.
W ater power is SO cheap in every part of
The State, the number of factories is so large
and the margin of profits so small, that
many other industries, it is likely, will take
precedence over this old standard Southern
enterprise
toes, for instance, could be most excellently
done on Neuse river; and If the trade in
this product is anything like it seems to be
there would be money in such an enter
prise.
The manufacture of brooms could be
made profitable in Raleigh. Broom corn
OF excellent quality grows well on our
poorest soil. A lady who lives in Wake
has frequently planted it and had her own
| brOOms made at the Deaf and Dumb and
| Blind Institution.
| Larger than this, fine wood work could
| be proftably made here or hereabouts, if
| the general principle hold true that manu-
! featuring pays best where the rough mate
| rial is cheapest.
Enough early grapes could be grown
within five miles of Raleigh to yield money
! to buy in five years all the real estate that
! the largest French vintner could desire.
/ Consider the novelty, from old point
of view, of such concerns as the Royster
Candy Factory, the Walker Clothing Man
statesmen, the Belo Knitting establishment
and dozen other such small industries
| which have recently been built up to pro-
digious proportions, and is it not reasonable
to say that nearly all, # not all, the minor
kinds of manufacturing that do not depend
| on special trade, which are done in the
/ Northern and Middle State, could be done
to greater profit here?
The outlook Is big with chances for men
| who have the discernment to see them and
the knowledge and pluck to take advantage
| Of them, Our commercial and social and
/ industrial life is such that energetic men
can make it very much what they wish to
make it.
