Don't Y u Think. Sol
Inasmuch as the city authorities will
grant the unlimited license of the streets,
sidewalks and all the private gardens in
the city to the numerous cows and heilers
owned in Wilmington and adjoining
country, we think it is about s little
as the authorities can do to let tfie street
brigade follow up these independen t cattle

condition for ladies to walk on.

Justice lo the Mexican Veterans.
It mav be of interest to the veterans of
the Mexican war residing in Wilaungtoi
and vicinity, to know that the Committee
of the House of Representatives, on Invalid
Pensions,have agreed to report a bill grant.
lng pensions to all the surviving soldiers
of this war, and their widows without
riistiMftion as to nolitical principles. The
bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to
place on the pension roll 'tho names cl
surviving officers and enlisted menjnclud.
in militia and volunteers of the military
and naval services of the United States,
who served 60 days in the war of 1S40 and
1S47 with ilexico. An effort will be made
to pass it at the present session of Con
gress.
The act allows a pension of $8 per
month, but does not apply to any person
who is receiving a pension at that rate,
but if his pension is less than that he
shall receive enough to make it $8 per
month. AH persous entitled to the pen'
sion shall receive it from the passage of
the act during their natural lives. Before
a pension is allowed proof shall be sub
mitted of his or her right to it, and any
nprsnn makincr a false oath shall be
stricken from the roll. The loss of a cer
tificate of discharge shall not deprive a
person of the benefits of the act, but other
evidence shall be sufficient, ?and a land
warrant granted on account of honorable
service shall be taken as sufficient evi
dence, unless it can be proven that the
warrant was fraudulently obtained. The
provisions of sections 4,745. 4,74, 4,747,
4 748 and 4,760 of the Revised Statutes,
are made part of the act so far as they are
applicable, and no laws now in force in
conflict with this act shall be applicable
!o the survivors of the war named, or be
so construed as to deprive them of the
benefits of the act. Section 4,716 of the
Revised Statutes is repealed, and the act
does not apply to any person while under
the political diaabilit es imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu
tion. Vegetables continue high and scarce,
owing partly to the backward season and
party to the sidewalk speculators.

Hon. A. S. Seymour, the presiding
Judge of the Superior Court now in session
here, ie the ouly remainiug Repu I an on
the beijch in tnis State, although it is re
presented that he is rather conservative in
his views. It is said that Judge Seymour

of the purest politicians in the country
North or South.
A Nice Arrangement
Mr. J, R. Melton, of the Second Street
Market, has devised a very nice arrange
ment for keeping meats fresh and sweet
during the summer months. By means
of a large quantity of ice, generally about
one thousand pounds, which, however,
do not touch the meats, beef, lamb, veal,
&c.may be kept cool and fresh for a
week at a uniform temperature of fifty
degrees. It is a nice arrangement at.d
the most perfectmeans for preserving meats
we have ever seen.
Mr. Melton has now oa hand a hue lot
of stall fed beef, lamb, veal and pork
which he offers tor to morrow's market
The members of the Cape Fear S'.eam
Fire Eogine Co. are making efforts to pur
chase a new uniform.

The Rich California Banker.
Wrhen it became known that one of the
richest California bankers had left the
Pacific Coast and transferrad bis base of
operations to the New York Stock Ex
change, all the shrewd financiers Watched
his coarse with keen interest to see how
he would succeed. The result has
emphatically proved the wealthy banker's
sagacity. Beside having a much wider
aL.d more promising field to operate in,
he is known to haver been in several stock
combinations that paid immense profits
By the combination method of operating
in stocks Messrs. Lawrence & Cd., Bau
ers N Y , unite orders of thousands ol
customers, in different sums, into one
vast capital, and operate them as a mighty
whole, dividing rofits pro rAa among
shareholders every 30 days. Capital iu
any amount from $10 to $100,000 can
be used with great success in these pools.
$25 would pay $100 profit. $500 would
make $c,000 or per 10 cent, on the stock
during the month. Messrs. Lawrence &
Co's new circular (mailed free) gives
'two unerring rules for success,' aud full
particulars, so that any one can operate
in stocks, and make money. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Government bonds sup
plied. Apply to Lawrence & Co., Bank
