Washington, April 23.-There is a
strong probability that the delegates
from the territories who have the state
hood bills in charge will not attempt
to secure congressional action until at
the next session. Delegates Catron and
Murphy made a canvass of the house
since the New Mexico and Arizona bills
were reported and encountered obsta-
cles which lead them to believe the bills
VIII command more votes next session
than at this one. The efforts of repub-
lican leaders to bring about an early
adjournment have to be taken into con-
sideration, and the delegates do not
care to have the bills suspended in con-
ference or between the house or senate
on territories committees, which will
report to the house or senate when con-
gress adjourns. II is expected the COM
mittee on territories will report the Ok
lahoma statehood bill by this week.
Delegates Flynn, Catron and Murphy
declare they expect to stand or fall to-
gether.

REUNION IN DUBLIN.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
A happy reunion of Company B of
the 1st North Carolina Battalion was
held at Wallace, Duplin county, Fri
day, October 95h.
W. Boney. Esq in behalf of the citi-
zens of the place delivered an address
of welcome, which was responded to
by Mr.. Geo. A. Herring. The speaker
Of the occasion, Col. John D. Taylor,
was prevented from attending on &C
count of his official duties. Capt. j. c..
Mcmillan was there, and entertained
the old soldiersa and q goodly number of
ladies who were present with an excel
lent speech.
The old, true and we'll tried soldier
and Christian man Lieutenant Taylor,
made a few feeling remarks to the
boys" as he called US, although our
heads were blooming for the grave
He could not refrain from calling US
boys, as he had done thirty odd years
ago. With much feeling, he tried to
express the love and affection he had
for each one of US, and declared that
the ties that bound US together were
stronger than that of any brother,
hood known to him. Many OF the old
veterans, with tears in their eyes, and
hearts 80 full that they could scarcely
speak, tried to express the joy and
qualification that it gave them to meet
with their old comrades again. There
| seems to be an ~indescribable something
in the sensation which brings comfort

tions and inspirations, born Of former
associations when we suffered together
for a common cause, and renew and
strengthens the ties Of early friend

bered with pleasure by all who were
there.
After adjournment there was a boun
tiful dinner spread before Us, OF which
we all partook heartily, while the old
veterans related with delight many
amusing incidents Of the war. We
shall ever remember with pleasure the
good people Of that thriving little vii
lage, and we feel that special mention
should be made Of that spightly and
prosperous young merchant, Mr.. L. L.
MaIlard, who did everything in his
power for our comfort and conven-
fence, and we know that we found IN
him a rue friend to the ex Confed-

II will be in the first place interesting
because it has shown that its leaders

IL will also be interesting to watch the
country becoming, like anotherJapan-
the late King Theodore had an army
OF 150, 900 men-a great military center,
whose influence viii extend over the
Soudan, and nobody knows how far
down the Nile.
To myself it Is already of great inter
est, if only on account of that very
pretty story about the first King Meme
aek. He was the son of Queen Sheba;
he paid visit TO Jerusalem, where Re
hoboam, then king, entertained him
and gave him an exact copy of the ark
of the covenant.
, Only-let US whisper-at the last mo-
ment Isaac, the priest, exchanged the
copy for the original, and carried of
the latter to Abyssinia, where it can
still be seen! Is not this interesting?
am quite sure that, when there is a
railway up the Nile and hotel like the
8Ietropole at Magdala, there will be
personally conducted tours TO see the
ark of the covenant

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SAVING UP.
Boarding Up Good Clothes Is Not Real
Economy.

Boarding Up Good Clothes Is Not Real
Economy.
Who does not know people who seem
10 take the utmost pride and pleasure in
piously boarding up articles OF all de-
scriptions? II seems TO matter little
what it is that they add to the col
lection They treasure il and take COM
Tort in feeling that they have q lot OF
miscellaneous property laid by against
the time of need.
This course is commendable within
certain clearly-defned lines. But 10
hoard for the sake OF boarding is one OF
the most serious of mistakes.
\ great many women buy handsome
materials, have elegant dresses made,
and then, thinking they are too good
for common use. put them away until
they are out of fashion and out of date
1t is a mistaken economy TO save
articles of wearing apparel beyond GER
tain limits. 1t is much more profitable
and sensible 10 buy a good dress, have
it made up in conservative style and
wear it whenever occasion requires. 1t
Is not worth while TO have a large num-
Der of good dresses unless one is con-
stantly going out and even then few
costumes will be found much more ad-
yantageous. To have too many dresses
IS almost as bad as too few, because one
feels that there is a large investment
and that they are speedily going out OF
style, and after awhile one has moth
ing that there is any pleasure in wear
ing.
One Of the best-dressed women in tn,
country never has but three good
dresses at a time. One is a street cos
tune, which is made Of the best wool
fabric she can buy and is made in ele-
CANT style; then there is a dinner and
an evening dress. These, with a quanti-
ty OF dressy accessories, furnish her
with an outfit that is every way satis-
factory. From these three, as they be-
come somewhat out of date. she has tea
gown, house dress and second best even
ing dress refitted.
In the days of black silks one woman
who had more sense than money bought
one dress during the year. and that was
q good black silk. She always had a
second best, and her third was good
enough TO reconstruct with some pref
ty remnant for house dress or tea gown.
For the latter short length Of bright
wool or silk was all that was required.
1t is possible for woman to costume
herself handsomely on very small
of money, provided she gives
the subject sensible and intelligent
thought To do this, however. she must
refrain from purchasing
novelties and must utilize her dresses
while they are new. Buying to put
away is the most expensive business i'm
aginable.-N. Y. Ledger.
