WADE DOYLE SENT ON FOR MURDER.

Baltimore via Suffolk and Carolina Ry.

Correspondence of tho Richmond Dispatch.]
SCOTLAND NECK, n c., March 27.-Wade
DOYLE was tried yesterday before Justices
Perry and Smith for the murder of John
Odom and was committed to Jail. The
examination of the witness brought out
strong evidence against Ed. Gotten, the
man who was tried and turned loose the
day before Gotten will DO rearrested and
committed also, 1t is thought. Hon. W.
II. Kitchen appeared for the State against
DOYLE and Messrs. Claude Kitchen (his
som and X. H. Smith appeared for Doyle.
Strong speeches were made before the
Justices on both sides. Doyle Will be tried
for his life at the May term of the Superior
Court.
THE INCOME TAX.
II is the opinion of many intelligent
men in this section that the Governor
ought to call an extra session Of the Legis-
lature to repeal the act recently passed
taxing all persons who received a salary.
No exemption was allowed. and if con-
strued strictly il will be quite q hardship
on many of the poor laborers, such as
clerks. &c. People here think it ought to
be remedied.
INDEPENDENT OF THE ROADS.
Mr.. Frank Hitch. the owner Of the
Hamilton and Tarboro' railroad, has CON-
pleted arrangements by which he brings
freight from Baltimore independent OF
the Coast-Line roads. He works IT
through the Suffolk and Carolina railroad.
This road has put two boats to run be-
tween Baltimore and Suffolk. At Suf-
folk the railroad takes the freight and car
ries il TO the mouth of Chowan river,
where Mr.. Hitch's boats take IL to Hamil-
ton. Mr.. Hitch is quite independent and
shows great enterprise.

Rivas Is the nearest town of any size
TO the line of the canal on the Pacific
side of the country. It is approached
from the lake by way of San Jorge,
where q pier is built, extending to deep
water. The arrival cf the vessel is al
ways anticipated by numerous veuders of
fruit, carved jicaras, etc., they being
chiefly girls and women, who form
picturesque group as they squat about
the end of the pier by the side of their
wares. Here there is always plentiful
supply Of fruit. Great clumsy OK carts,
with wheels made of section trunk of a
tree, are the vehicles ustd for transport
ing goods, for as yet there is no railroad
in this section of Nicaragua. From the
wharf to the town of Rivas is about four
miles, and the road connecting the two
is the best that has been built by the
Government. Here oil improvements of
a public nature are made by the general
Government, there being no other power
for the collection OF taxes for such pur-
poses, the entire national revenue being
derived from the Government monopoly
of the traffic in liquors and tobacco, TO-
gether with import duties. The road is
100 feet wide, is graded and bedded with
stone and within the past year the con-
struction of tramway has been begun,
to run from the wharf to Rivas, the con-
cess,on for which gives the right to extend
tic line to neighboring towns and tc Brito
on the Pacific.
On either side of tue road are beauti-
full estates with splendid specimens of
cattle grazing within the inclosur:s.
Half q mile from the lake is situated che
greater portion of the town of San Jprge,
a village that has remained for many
years absolutely unchanged. The O. dest
inhabitant cannot remember when this or
that house was not where and as it il to-
day. Approaching Rivas large space
rooted in is noticed, where rather crude
methods are being used in the carpenter
work that is being carried on. Here all
the work of the saw mill is done by hand.
At one place great log three or four
feet in diameter rests upon trcstle sew
eral feet above ground. Beneath it is
pit four feet deep, in which stands man
stripped to the waist, while his fellow
worker is on the log above him. With
slow but regular motions they push and

A Zulu Dainty.

Mealies ale the chief food OF the
Kafrs, but they rejoice az 40 occasional
opportunity of feasting of a tough
"trek" ox-no matter if it has died from
natural causes-albeit their glimmerlng
of religious superstition forbids them the
use of animal food. They loa!he fish as
we should loathe eating snake; out, on
the other hand, their fancies for certain
tidblts run in a curious direction. one
afternoon q spray of glittering green fol-
iaoe is brought to me, from whence are
depending the most enormous caterpil-
lars I have ever seen in my life, as thick
as nv thumb and twice as long-fat,
green fellows, studded with small, spar-
King scales. The little Zulu girl from
whom they had been obtained wept be-
cause "we had taken away her food"
fatty declined to try a caterpillar OF
two, whereupon native eagerly se:ects
a couple of the finest, piucacs oil their
tails, ,manipulates glove-fashion the w7lg-

frizz!es them before the fire, and finally
daintily devours the nauseating morsel
