Puck does not cartoon the Democratic candidates. Not much. Have you read the Democratic plat form? If not, you had better, for it is a daisy. ; r . Republicans sport white plumes, but the Democrats will not even show a white feather. . The Democratic papers do not haye to eat crow this trip, but the Republican press is surfeited with it. A careful scrutiny with the naked eye of the Democratic platform reveals some mighty good doctrine. Butler will not support Blaine, but whether Blaine will support John Kelly or not is a serious question. "When the Leaves begin to Fall" is not a popular song just now in Repub lican circles. It is too mournfully sug gestive of ths sad Noverraber "days when the returns are all in. Blaine Republicans sport white plumes. We have seen white plumes on a hearse before now, and they will be in demand at the mournful Republican tuneral in November. The Republican State ticket is a bad wa3h to swallow. It savors strongly of crow, which is unpalatable to good and true Republicans, but they haye Cot to swallow it, nevertheless. m ' Blaine's "vigorous fdreign palicj" ill be restricted for the next ninety kjs to Massachusetts, New York, In diana and several other localities within the jurisdiction of the United States.

There was an immense and en thasiastio throng in attendance to listen to eloquent addresses from eminent Democratic speakers. There was a notable absence of crow at the banquet. While it is not known precisely what Butler and Kelly will do in the cam paign, it is very certain that they will. give no aid to the Kepubucan party. They would not save the old tattooed eoncern if they could, and it i3 equally certain thai they could not if they would. Bed Bugs, Flics.'

Harris, of the Charlotte Observer, with hi3 wife, arrived in the city this morning and registered at tbc Purcell House. Mr. Harris has a host of friends in the city who will be glad to see him and give him a cordial shake of the hand. The Crops. From passengers arriving in the city to-day from the yicinity of Six Runs and Stewart's Creek, in Sampson coun ty, we learn that the crops were never in a more prosperous condition. The section spofen of contains some of the best farms and most industrious farm ers in East Carolina, and we rejoice at the success which bids fair to crown their, efforts, and hope that no unto ward event may prevent them from reaping an abundant harvest. Everybody in want of Paints, White Lead. Glass &c should go to Jacobi's to get best qualities and lowest prices f. Mill Lemons. There is nothing new in saying tha lemon-juice is good for malaria; or, in other words, that it is useful to combat intermittent feyer by the victims of that disease. A French medical iournai recommends a decoction of the fresh lemon, that is, a lemon cut into slices and boiled in a new earthen pot, making practically, a lemon tie. It is to be given four hours before the fever, and is paid to be as serviceable as quinine, without having any of its il' effects. rogr Tongue. There are many industries which have sprung into existence in this sec tion within the last few years, which had never before been dreamed of, but. but which have proved a source of profit to those engaged in them. The gather ing of-dog tongue is among the most important and lucrative of these indus tries. The plant grows abundantly throughout this section of "the State, can be gathered with but little trouble and a ready market is found for all that can be procured. Our friend and subscriber, Mr. A. H. Morris, at Teacheys Depot, Duplin county, on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, is largely engaged in the purchase and shipment of dog tongue. On Monday the 14th inst.. he bought 3,680 pounds of the plant, on the 15th, 6.742 pounds, and on the 16th, 5.273 pounds, making an aggregate for the three days' pur purchases, amounting to 15,695 pounds. Tbe above amounts will be about his average during the season. Daring Uurglary. At about 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing some tbief broke into the premises of Mr. T. F. Tyler, on Dock street, be tween Eighth and Ninth , under cir cumstances of most reckless daring. Mr. Tyler had been reading upon a sofa in the fiont room of the house and had finally dropped off to sleep leaving the lamp burning and the window raised. The thief took one of the supports of a jeejoggle, which was on the piazza of an adjoining house and used it as a step to climb into the window where Mr. Tyler was asleep. After gaming an entrance he passed directly through the parlor to the room where Mrs. Tyler was in bed and asleep, taking the precaution to close and lock the door after him . He then opened a widow in Mrs. Tyler's room which led onto the piazza , after which he searched the pockets of Mr. Tyler's clothing, which was in the room, from which he stole about $15 in money. He thensat down on the side of the bed and placed his had upon Mrs. Tyler's face, which awoke her. She supposed that it was her husband, but soon discovered that it was not, when she screamed and the thief fled through the window. Her screams awoke Mr. Tyler and he at once started to her assistance, but found the door locked and before he could effect an entrance the scoundrel had escaped. It was a small man, but whether white or colored Mrs: Tyler could not determine. Death oi'Capt. John J. Evans. Our citizens and a large circle of ac quaintances throughout this section of the South will be pained to learn of tho death of Capt. John J. Evans, which occurred at his residence in this city at about 5 o'clock this morning, from malarial fever. He had been sick but about a week and his death took our people by sad surprise. Capt. Evans was a native of Pennslyvania, bat came to the South when quite a 'young man and was a stage agent in South Caro lina while the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta (then known as the Wil mington & Manchester) Railroid was in course of consrtuction. Upon the completion of the road Capt. Evans was made one of the conductors, a po sition which he occupied until after the war, and in which he became widely known as a courteous, obliging and pleasant gentleman and a most agreeable railroad official. Soon after the war he removed to Pittsburg. Pa , where be was engaged for several years with his brothers in the steam boat business on tbe Ohio river. He returned to Wilmington about seven years ago, and subsequently removed to Goldsboro, where tor a time he was engaged in mercantile pursuits. He then came to Wilmington again,, and until a short time since was a conductor on the W. C & A. road. Capt. Evans married a daughter of the late Mr. Owen Holmes of this city, his wife and three children surviving him. In ail the relations and duties of life, whether as husband, father, citizen or official, Capt. Evans was a true, kind and noble-hearted gentleman. He was about 53 years of age at tho time of his death. - NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, 3Ln SlOIES 108 IFIlSnB WHITE ROBES With Embroidery WHITE GOODS STOCKA lOWiils BATH TOWELS We wish any other market.

Cantaloupes have been coming into market quite freely for some days, bu we are sorry to say that they are not so finely flavored as they were last year. The frequent rains, which catne just as they were beginning to ripen, seems to have taken much of the sweetness out of them. Water melons are also being brought in quite freely within the last few days from the Sound, and they are well flavored. -The prices are rather high at present for the latter, but we presume that they can be bought cheap er in the course of a few days. ; Lost and Found. At about 4 o'clock, last Sunday even ing, a little two years old son of Alex. Henderson, colored, at Masonboro Sound, strolled off while the family were not noticing him and when search was made he could not be found. The search was. kept up all night, but the little fellow was not found until about 8 o'clock on Monday morning, when he was discovered by Lot Pierce, colored, in a ditch and up to his arm pits in mud and water -He bad suffered no injury save that he had been bitten severely by mosquitoes during the night. Almost an . Accident. " Thismorning just before the steamer Passport started on her regular trip down the river, the furniture cart of Mr. D. A. Smith was driven down to the wharf with some freight. The driver fastened his horse by tying the iclns to one of the wheels, which answered very well until the steamer's whistle bio wed, when he became frightened and started. . This wound the reins up so tight that it caused the horse to back, and if it had not been for some one who jumped to the animal's head aud cut the reins he would have backed into the riyer. It is a careless way to leave horses, and especially so in any locality where there is liable to be unusual noise and confusion. Language of the Eyes. It is said that very quiet eyes that impress and embarrass one with their repose signify self-command, but also much complacency and some conceit. Restless eyes that cannot look one steadily in the face denote a deceitful, designing mind. Eycs in which the white has a yellowish tinge and is streaked with reddish veins, prove much of strong passion and hasty tem pers. Very blue eyes bespeak inclined to coquetty ; grey eyc3 signify dignity intelligence and excellent reasoning faculties; greenish eyes, faslehood and a fondness for scandal. A malicious mind is often indicated by greenish eyes. Black eyes show a passionate, lively temperament, and oftimes a most deceitful disposition; brown eyes are generally tender and true, indicat ing a kind and happy disposition. About Trees. A tree is a sort of community, each part having its own duties to perform. The root hair takes up most of tbe nourishment. . Tbe young ones take it to the larger ones, and they, in turn, like the branches of a river, pour the flood of crude sap into the trunk, which conveys it to the leaves. Tbe assimi lated or digested sap passes from the leaves to all growing parts of tho plant, and a deposit is made where most need ed. If a branch is much exposed to the winds the base of it has a certain support or certain amount of nourish ment. So with tbe trunk of tree. If the base of a branch or the main trunk is much exposed to tbe winds and storms, a much thicker deposit of food is made there. Tbe winds give a tree exercise, ;which seems good to help make it strong. Oar toughest wood comes from trees growing in exposed places. The limbs of a tree'are all the time striving with each other to see which shall haye tbe most J room and most sunshine. While some perish in the attempt, or meet with only very in different success, the stron gest of the strong buds survive. , .i Vi o 1884. NO. 169 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS In. I-JESTO AND OHEA to match.
