The New York Sun says; "The question in the campaign of 1884 should relate to the protection of American honor, by the election of an honest man to be President of the United States."

The Rochester Union confidently be lieves that Cleveland and Eiendricks will carry 52 States, having 255jjleetor al votes. These States are the Solid South and California, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Wiscon sin. Mr. Emmons Blaine, son of the Hon. Ja"5. G Blaine, was in Buffalo Sunday, and said in reply to an interviewer; that his lather "would rather have seen jany. man mentioned in the Chicago Convention nominated than the New Yorkr Governor." Secretary Chandler forgot to mention that thirty-two Republican Senators also signed the Dr. Wales recommen dation, and the petition was presented to the Democratic Senators for their endorsement by Senator Anthony, the oldest Republican Senator, whose name heads the list. The Greely Arctic Expedition party, or tno3e ot them wno aid not die or starvation, exposure and iatigue have been rescued and are now on the way home, which we hope they may reach in safety. In the name of humanity, let us have no more such expedition3 with all its attendant horrors. Gov. Hendricks has been more than thirty years in public life. He has been Governor of u State, Senator and Land Coramissiner. and never a word has been said against his private character or official integrity. He. has had op portunity to steal from the Indians, but tle has never attempted to steal their lands and drive them trom their homes. How is it with you, Mr. Loan? Mr. G, A. Retman, Denison, Craw ford Co.. Iowa, writes that he suffered a long time with rheumatism, was finally cured by St. Jacobs Oil, the magical pain-conqueror, and he would not be without it. LOCAL NEWS.

The Wilmington Light Infantry, Capt. R. H. Beery, took a trip down the riyer on the Passport this morning. They did not turn out with very full ranks; but when they marched past our office we were impressed with the fine soldierly appearance and the precision in which they moved. The line was as near perfect as it was possible to have been, and would have dope credit to a company of veterans. The have gone to pay a friendly visit to their brothers-in-arms of the Smithville Gnards, and there will probably be no drill, as was at first anticipated. Besides the Infantry there was a large number of ladies and gentlemen among the. passengers, and we trust that all may pass a pleasant day. Color of Flowers. It has for a long time been known that the color of growing flowers can be altered by simply mixing a little dyestuff with the mold in the flower pot. No one, however has hitherto thought of changing the color of flowers when out. A distinguished botanist has found that by simply soaking the stems of cut flowers in a weak dye solution their color can bo altered at will without the perfume ot richness being destroyed. Most beautiful effects are produced . by preparing lakes Singular to say, flowers refuse to absorb certain colors, while they dis pose of others in different manners. Jf placed in a mixed solution they make a complete analysis, and some lilies which had been treated with purple showed distinct red and blue veins, the colors having been divided in the pro cess of absorption. Maj. Charles M. Stedmau. Our distinguished citizen, the Demo cratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor, left on the last night's train for Raleigh, where h goes to confer with the Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, on matters con nected with the campaign. He will go thence to Greensboro, where he will remain for a short time to consult with Gen. A. M. Scales, the Democratic candidate for Governor. From Greens boro Mai. Stedman will go to Ashe- ville, where ho expects to remain until about the 10th of August, when he will begin his canvass in the Western coun ties of the State, providing the State Executive Committee should not de termine otherwise. He will do his full duty in the campaign and will make a vigorous and aggressive canvass, and will make it hot.for his opponents should they have the temerity to meet him on the stump. The Magazines.

' ; People from the vicinity of the North east river in Duplin county, who ar rived here to day, st ale that that stream is unusually low, in consequence of which flats that were bound up the river have concluded to wait awhile, homing for a rise. One ot our friends sent us to-"3ay a splendid jcantaloupe, which we enjoyed teartily, and were real sorry that we said yesterday that they did not have their, usual rich flavor this year on ac count of the wet weather. We are grateful.to our friend for his thought fulness and can assure him that the cantaloupe was all that an epicure could desire. Many of the citizens are trimming the grass from their lots, and we notice that in some instances it is being dumped in the streets, while in a few cases It is left in heaps in the yards, where it was cut. Either practice is bad and un healthy in such hot weather. It should bo at once removed from the vicinity of dwellings, or it should buried or burned. Farmers from the country tell us that the crops are doing finely, but that in many places the grass got the advantage during the recent wet weather, and that they are having hard work in try ing to subdue it. They, hope, however. that with a few days more of pleasant weather and hard digging to kill the grass and lay the crops by. The lias t Sad Kites. The obsequies ot the late Capt. John J. Evans were held at 11 o'clock to-day at St. John's Church, and thence to Oakdale Cemetery for interment. Thepa'l bearers were Col. E. D. Hall, Col. P. W. Kerchner, Capt. II. C. Brock, Capt, J. C. Borden, Capt. C. D. Myers and Mr. T. O. Bunting, The Fruit Fair. The display from this county at the Fruit Growers' Fair, which will be held at Goldsboro on the 30th and 31st insts., promises to be excellent in quali ty and in great variety. We hear of several who propose to be present with the products of their orchards and vineyards, and we feel assured that our exhibit will be highly creditable to all concerned. A Narrow Escape. On Wednesday eyening a number of colored boys were bathing in the river at the foot of Church street, when one of them, who could not swim, got be yond his depth and would have drown ed if it bad not been for the timely as sistance and cool courage of Mr. John C. McCartney, a ship carpenter, who was working upon a flat at the ship yard. The boy had sunk twice when Mr. McCartney, seeing his peril, plunged into the riyer and caught him lust as he wa3 sinking for the third and and probably last time. Mr. Mc Cartney is nearly 60 years of age and had the disadvantage of being encum bered with his clothing to binder him in his efforts. The boy was in a very exhausted condition when taken out of the water, but soon recovered. When we see the carelessness of boys, who cannot swim, in venturing beyond their depth, the only surprise to us is that cases of drowning do not occur more frequently. Baked Tomatoes With Cream. Cut the tops trom a dozen, large to matoes, wipe them with a wet towel and scoop out the inside with a teas poon ; put over tbc hre a large pan, with enough butter to cover the bot tom, and when the butter is hot put in the tomatoes and quickly brown them on the under side; when the bottoms of the tomatoes are brown take them op without breaking them," and lay them carefully in an earthen dish just large enough to hold them ; into the pan where they were browned put the pulp previ ously scooped out of them and set the pan over the fire; soak in cold wa ter as mueh stale bread as there is to mato pulp, until it is solt, and then squeeze out the water and put the bread with the tomato pulp; season them highly with salt and pepper and stir them over the fire nntil they are scald ing hot; use this mixture to fill the to matoes, pour around them enough cream to moisten them, dust dry crumbs over the surface, and then bake the tomastoes in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. Serve them hot in the dish in which they were baked. 'Every Farmer ought to get a Boys Clipper Plow," greatest invention oi tho Jacom is the Ascnt. f NO. 170 Melons lor Preserves. Medium-sized melons V are better than T"3 large ones for preserving, and itmif should not be overripe. Peel them and press the j nice from the pulp and seeds, which should be taken from the melons with a silver spoon. Wash the melons after this, and add the water in which they have been washed to the juice obtained from the' pulpfand seeds. The melons should bo cut lengthwise into eight pieces, if possible using a silver knife; allow them to soak a day and night in cold water with a littl sau ana vinegar, in me proportion ol a teaspoon ful of salt and t wo of white vinegar to half a gallon of water, throwing a clean cloth over during the time to keep out the dust. In the mean time prepare a syrup withi the juice from the pulp and 'seeds,! boiling a pound of good loaf sugar lor fifteen minutes to every half pint of the juice. and then letting it stand to become cold. After the pieces of melons havo soaked for twenty four hours care be ing taken that they have been, quite under the water all the time-place them in a preserving pan anji add the cold syrup as prepared ; set lit on the fire, and after it comes to the) boil let it simmer for about a quarter of an hour, skimming it during the time; then re move the slices of melon into a bowl, taking care not to break tbcm, and poor the syrup over them. For three successive days pour off the syrup, give it a boil up and pour it oyer, again ; hn the third day phce the slices! of melon in wide-mouthed bottles, adding some bruised ginger to each ; fill the bottles with the hot syrup, let them remain until cold, and then tie tightly down with bladder.
