The duration ot life in England is on the increase. Mens lives are pro longed two, and women's three and one-third year beyond the the limit thirty-five yean ago. The change is ascribed to various causes, prominent among which aie the influence of the public health act , the progress of the temperance movement and diminishing viruleuce of epidemics. The Ureal Eastern has found her place at last. She has been sold to the British Government for use as a coal balk at Gibraltar. Such is the inglori ous end of the biggest ship on earth or on the sea. She was too big for any I ricticsl ue.

The records cf the Health Depart raeni oi new iorK city indicate a very eccooragicg irrproTement'of the sani tary condition of the city. The num ber of deaths reported since the begin ning of the year show a considerable falling off as compared with the samo period last year, and a remarkable de crease as compared with the ccrres pocdicg period ot the p'receeding year. The improvement noted is attributed by the health authorities in great part to the change for the bettcY in the city's tiaitary condition. It tceius strango that an immense trade should be done in this country in importing eggs. One would suppose that the domestic farm of an immcnf c consiry might produce enough for the eocsamptioa of the population, where, "last year no leSs than 182,000,000 er were imported. In 1880 the num ber ot foreign egs received at the Cus to House was 110.000,000. In the fol kiog year it bad increased to 140,000, GOO; last year 183.000.000 represented the naa ber imported, and it is expect ed that this year's importation will ach the enormous total of 200,000,000.

Narrow Escape, A colored girl employed on Second street, between Chestnut and Mulberry. while at work around the stove In tnei kitchen this morning had her clothing take fire. In her fright she ran into be yard where the wind would have unn mmm) her entire clothinc to be come enveloped in flames, S but, fortu nately a colored woman, who was in the i yard, dashed a bucket of water over the girl and pat out the fire, it was a nar row escape. . fiilrer Plated Spoons.- Forks and Knives of best quality, and at zsana fictarcr's prices, can be found at Ja cort's Hixtfware In!.' ; f Fires in the Country We learn that fires were raging yesterday in the country, on the line of the Carolina Central and the Ralegh & Augusta Air Lino Railroads, to an alarmicg extent, and in consequence of the high winds which were prevailing, all effort to extinguish the flames were unavailing At Manly the Methodist Church was burned, and n the Caro lina Central, from, Laurinburg to Hamlet, it was almost one continuous line of fire.' Two water .stations were burned and many crosstIe3 and many' cordrf of wood were destroyed. Thatcher, Primrose & "West's Minstrels.

While there wUl be an unlimited amount of fun, the management desire especially to have it understood that there will bo nothing which will offend the modesty or shock the refined sensibilities of the audience. Ladies can I attend with the assurance tnat they will witness or hear no impropriety of language or conduct from the performers. Mr. Banks Winter, who sung When the robins nest again' with the Haverley's, this season, and Mr. Frank Howard, the composer ol that song, are with this troupe. Last Niffht's Fire. At about 9 o'clock last night, the wind blowing a gale at the time, the one story frame dwelling on Nixon, be tween Seventh and Eighth streets, oc cupied by George Paymaa, colored, was discovered to be on fire. The in mates of the house were absent at the time, but the alarm was promptly and vigorously sounded and the fire de partment was on hand in a few mo ments, but owing to the high wind, the distance from an available hydrant and the combustible material of the house, it. with all its contents, was destroyed The flames spread to a small frame dwelling adjacent, wnicn was also oc- cupied by colored people, and was also destroyed, although, fortunately, the household effects were saved. Two or three other small houses caught several times, but the flames were extinguished on these Deiore serious uamage was done. The engines were compelled to play through 1,300 feet of hose to obtain water from the nearest hydrant. The houso occupied by Payman belonged to his mother and was not insured. We failed to Icarn the name of the occupant or owner oi tne otner House destroyed, but learn that there was no insurance upwi.. iuWM aowwuy w.

Wo leacn from tho News and Obser. ver of tbe meeting in Raleigh, 'on Sat urday, of the Central Democratic Executive Committee It was resolv ed that tbe State Committee meet at Raleigh on the 16th inst. to consider the call for a convention of the party. The resignation of T. R. Jernigan. Esq., of his membership of the commits tec. from the first district, was tender- ed and accepted, and Colonel Harry I Skinner, of Titt county, was duly elect ed to fill tbe vacancy. The death of the late Isaac B. Kelly, of the third district, being brought to the attention of the committee, a vacancy was declared in the county of Duplin, wes duly elected to fill the vacancy. Tho 2ctcs and Observer says, ib l.rtl,...,l.lMil nn fhi Itrn Mn TentOM ha held, that seems to bo im- , - , . practicable, and doubtless the commit tee will so conclude. The convention should meet in time for the delegates chosen to represent the State at Chicago to make their arrangements for that purpose. Ordinarily delegates cannot arrange their trunks on the spur of the raomeut to be absent at Chicago ten davs. The Chicago convention meets July 9:h and tho State convention is likely to be held towards the close of June. Tbe Republicans will probably make their nominations for State officers on May 1st. and their candidates will be gin work at once. Our nominees should be in the field and meet their opponents as soon as practicable. In three months more we will be at the beginning of a warm campaign.

The two-sory frame dwelling on the I North side 6X Campbell; street, between I Fou rth and" Fift h7o wneo atHIccupTed by George Dobnan, colored, was dis covered to"be cu fire on the root st about 3 :30 o'clock this afternoon". The alarm was immediately given and the fire department aras promptly on .hand and at work. The flames were soon ex tinguished with no further damage than a small hole burned in the roof. The building was insured, but we failed to learn at what aeency or in what com pany. The New Hotel. mi Cm. a . xne ou-repeaiea inquiry, "are we to have a new. hotel?" is most generally supplemented by the question, f "where will it be located?" The latter; inquiry seems to answer the first affirmatively and leaves nothing to be determined but the place where the structure shall be erected. On this point there is a wide diversity of opinion, but wo doubt not that a good selection will be made. when the time comes for action. That larger hotel accommodations are need ed is perfectly evident, if we would keep pace with the growing demands of travel, and make our city notable and desirable as a place of rest and recreation to those who seek the genial influence of our Southern sun during the Winter mouths. We need the hotel, not eo much for the business public as we do for the invalids, pleasure seekers and those of wealth to spend and leisure to travel, where thev mav obtain all the accommodations of the firstclass hotels of the North. Men are .looking towards ouf sectioQ as a desirable place in which to invest their capital, and it becomes us. in a business point of view if no other, to offer such inducements as to cause them to come and linger here while they thoroughly examine the many advantages which our city and its surroundings can offer, as an induce ment for them to settle in our midst. This, a cood, comfortable, nicely-kept hotel will accomplish better than any other method. Tliey Came as Strangers. It has become the fashion with trav elinjr De0Die to abuse . Wilmincrton and ita waat of hoLel accommodations, and it j Drobable that the bitterest abuse of all comes from those who have never been here at all. We do not often meet with any one who has stopped here for a day or two who is inclined to quarrel with our people, whatever he might have to say about his accommodations. That the hotels are not the best in tne country will be readily admitted, bnt that they are deserving of one-fourth o the abuse that is lavished nponthem is not by any means true. We met this morning with a gentle man wno nas a uiuereni iaie to leu oi . i .iter I his treatment here. He stopped in WiN mingtonaboutfour weeks ago and IS at ...Pn-u TTmioA irith his r1n.rhtor with his daughter, who is quite sick. tuo u.wv. & He was en route to Florida, hoping that the mud air there would restore somewhat of tbe ' lady's health and strength. when she became ill and was unable to. proceed further. When he spoke on tbe train of stopping here he was met with the advice not to stop in Wilmington, his adviser adding M wouldn't stop there for $500-" But ne cessity knows no law ana in some trepidation as to his reception and treatment he left the train with his daughter and repaired to the Purcel House, where ho has ever since remain ed. He was an absolute stranger here and did not know a soul in Wilming ton. 4 'But. sir," he said to us to-day with moist eyes, ! have met with the utmost of kindness and courtesy and hospitality affthe hands of your people, and I can never forget all I owe to them.'" He told ns thst he and his daughter are receiving every care and attention at the hands ot Capt. Perry and his people at the hotel; that many ladies have called to see his invalid daughter and that her room redolent with the Tragrance of flowers sent to her daily.
