The American -artists in Paris are subscribing to a fund for the purpose of presenting that city with a bronze mod el of Bartholdi's statue of -'Liberty Enlightening the World." Tho new water supply for New York City will cost from $25,000,000 to $30. 000,000. The reservoir will supply 400.000,000 gallons daily. A bet was proffered and taken last week in Boston that Cleveland would go out of that city next November with two votes to Blaine's one. mi The coinciddence is noted that Mr. Blaine was born in Brownsvil'e, Pa., and Mr. Logan in Brownsville, III. And they will both bo" "done brown" in November. Arizona's total production of copper Ibis year is epected to be nearly AO per cent, greater than last year's yield, which amounted to 17,000.000 pounds. : .. Since 1875 the number of newspaper and periodical publications of all sorts Japan has increased from 156 to 2. 000. There are five important journals but only one contains literary articles.

Non- sense or no nonsense," said inexora ble frontier officials, "you must be smoked like other travellers." A correspondent of the Lancet says that he has practiced for eiht years on steamers running between Liver nool and American ports. During this time he ha3 had charge of 50,000 people, and the deaths were less than one per 1,000. Five of these were suicides, and the re- mainaer occurreu mosuy among children.

'that the statue is being carefully box i ed and the pieces marked, so that they can be placed in order on the French war vessel, lie says ihat the statue will most probably arrive in this country not later than next November. We are building lor all time and part of eternity," added Mr. Stono- "and we want $120,000 more." Here is something for the colored men in the East to consider.

C, August 4. ' The joint canvass at Marshall, Madi son county, to-day was exciting. There were about a thousand people present, of .which number 200 were from Asheville. It was a capital audience, and gave close attentiontothe speeches Dr. York spoke first, for an hour and a half. He appealed to tho prejudices of poor white men and negroes. He re lused to say whether he was a- Demo- crat or a 'Republican. When Gen. Scales put the inquiry if York favored civil rights and if he desired to admit a negro io a uoiei, etc.. wnere wouia ne 'Put them in hell!" - i As soon as York's harangue was ended, Gen. Scales took the stand and spoke for an hour and a half, saying some very practical things. He made an aamiraoie impression, ana was loudly applauded. The Republicans showed great disap pointment. Tho Democrats are iubN lant over Scales' virtual victory. . The speech of Gen. Scales was ot a charac- ier to ao eneciive wors m tne moun tains. It was a clear and logical effort. Theo. Hobgood.

Aftp.r the adontion of tha resolution??. ox. xu. x. xxan was caaeu upon to ia troduoe Gov. Jaryis to tne immense and eager throng of expectant listeners Lmnn!r whom w noted manv of the fair ladies ot Wilmington a duty which he performed in a brief, but forceful and entirely appropriate speoch, in which he spoke.with exultant pride of the material adyance made during the last six years in the agricultural, me chanical; commercial, financial, edu cational and social affairs of the State. Col. Hall's speech was a just, proud and fitting tribute to the administration of Gov. Jarvis, and a worthy effort. TIJE QQYERJJQlOS SPEECH. Upon taking the stand the Governor was greeted with cheers from the throng in attendance and by the display o1 fireworks. When silence had been resumed, he began a speecn which continued for nearly two hours and which was one of the very best pohti- cal speeches to which we have eyer listened. The Governor has a fine anjl commanding presence, great volume of voice, an almost inexhaustiblejx)wer of lungs, and is blessed with the most! perfect self-possession. He attempted no great oratorical flights nor did he dwell among the dainty flowers or rhetoric, but all was plain, practical. logical , truthful and impressive. He began by slating that, in 4 Republican form ot government like ours, all au thority for the benefit or control of the people emanated from the people them selves; and that they had the inherent rieht to direct or control legislation by electing to office those who would best snbserve tho publie good ; that when officials became corrupt, careless or untrustworthy the people could remove them and put more faithful officers in their places. In referring to National politics and Wielntmn the Governor said that he 1VqW4MVvi- - -1 ' had never known of a law enacted by a Democratic Congress which bad been declared unconstitutional by the Supremo Court, the highest judicia tribunal in the land. Oa the oiner hand, there were repeated instances on record where the legislation ot a im- publican Congress had been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, a majority of whose members were of the same political faith.and cited as nota ble instances' the reconstruction acts, the Ku Klux acts and the ciyil right act, the former of which he bad had the manly courage to tell a Boston audi ence had done more harm to the South than all the bullets shot by Northern soldiers. The Ku Klux acts had been declared unconstitutional, but, unfor" tunately, not until hundreds of people had been sent to Northern prisons, where many of them had died and where many more had been ruined in health ad broken down in spirit. The civil rights act had been tested in the Inferior Courts for year3, with a decis ion against it in every instance, until at last its unconstitutionality was fully and finally determined by the Supreme Court. His arraignment of the Repub lican party, in its, national legislation for its multitude of mistakes, was forceful and unanswerable. Proceeding from national politics to the candidates of the two great parties for the Presidency, he paid a glowing tribute to the official integrity and worth of the Democratic candidate, Hon. Grover Cleveland, of New York, and challenged any one to point out a single official act of his which would not bear the closest scrutiny. As Sher iff, Mayor or Governor, he had always been faithful and true to the important trusts imposed upon him, in conse quence of which the people of this great country had determined that he should receive the highest position in their gift. Leaving National politics and candi dates the Governor then turned his at tention to North Carolina, which, while his fidelity and devotion to the United States was not lacking, he declared to be his first, his last, his unceasing and undving love. Through all the varied scenes of life, irom his boybocd'a poveir ty and toil until now when he occupied the hiirheat Dosition in. the eift of her people, every pulsation of his heart had been with love for the grand old State, and his highest aspirations had been for the welfare and prosperity of her peo ple. He paid a fitting tribute to the Democratic State ticket and drew a graphic comparison between the condU tion of the State under Democratic rule as compared with the time when the Republicans held supreme control, much to the disadvantage of the-4atter. During the years when tho Republicans were in nower the State had been nlunsed many millions of dollars in debt, yet no railroads or other works of ' J internal improyement had been built, not an, asylum for the unfortunate deaf and dumb and blind had been thought of and not a school house had been erected by public authority throughout the entire length and breadth of the State. He showed that the largest amount of money appropriated for educational purposes lor any one year under a Republican administra tion of the affairs of the State amount ed to the pitiful sum of only about $38,000, while under a Democratic administration in a single year the sum of $621,000 had been appropriated for the same purposes, thus making it I apparent that in all that relates to the 1 educational welfare of the people the Democratic party had been most truly mindful. He spoke of Dr. York as having, while a member of the General Assembly, opposed every measure cal culated for the establishment of schools, normal . schools, asylums and other legislation looking to the welfare and prosperity of the State, and hence did not consider him the proper person t have the control of the affatrs of her B0Yernment and the destuics of her nl YVant of space forbids us going further into the derails of this masterly speech. That it was interesting and instructive was evidenced by the fact that tho distinguished sneaker held the undivided attention of bis vast audience from the beginning until its end. The best of order prevailed. The Cornet Concert Club furnished excellent music for the occasion. When the speech was concluded three rousing cheers were given for the candidates after which the crowd dispersed. Lightning at Bursa w. A correspondent at Burgaw tells us of the damage done there by a stroke of lightning last evening.

Jarvis took breakfast this morn ing with Col. F. W. Kerchner, after which he was conveyed to the Produce Exchange rooms, where he;was intro duced to members of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Produce Exchange and citizens generally by Hon. A. 11. VanBokkelen, president of lhe first named Board. Afiicr the. cer -mony of introduction and a few moments devoted to pleasant conversa tion tho Governor tnade a -1 5 " short speech upon business matters which was listened f to with marked attention by the delighted lis teners. This being concluded, another short time was spent in conversation when the Governor, together with Mayor Hall and quite a number of our leading citizens, took carriages and were conveyed to tne Seaside Fark Hotel, as Wrightsville. where they were to dine. Unfortunately, it has rained nearly all day. which has tended to mar in some measure the pleasures of the occasion. l .Personal. Capt. Guilford L. Dudley, Private Secretary to the Governor, who ac companies him on his visit to th's city, has received many hearty hand-shakes from his old friends here to-day. We 1 acknowledge,, the courtesy of a call from him tlfre morning. We were glad to see him looking so well and to know that he entertains, with us, an abiding belief in the magnitude of the Demo cratic victory mis a an. Mr. H. M. Bowden is still suffering very much from the injuries received to his shoulder by the runaway of his horse on Monday. He carries his right arm in a sling but is still found at post jn the bank. The Fire-Alarni. The new fire-alarm, worked on the Law system, which has just been put up in the city, went into full operation this morning. Through the;ourtesy of Mr. G. H. Glass, Manager of the Tle- phone Office here, we have-been shown the workings of this new sysiem, which Js yjry much superior in every res j pect I to tnar. nnrptoiorfi in nap If. pnmhinoa me latest improyements in the system of fire-alarm, and has been adopted by many ot our sister cities, , where its great merits are universally conceded One of the great beauties of the system lies in the fact that it can be utilized for police calls as well as for fire alarms. Another advantage ot the system is that , in giving an alarm, ony one per son communicates to the iCity Hall while heretofore it has been 'frequently the case that several were talking at the same time, thus creating unavoidable confusion and delay. Gov. Jarvis. We have been assured from one very near his presence tb a V His Excellency Gov. Jarvis, is highly delighted at the eordial reception which has greeted him here in Wilmington. The Goy came here to fill an appointment to make a speech on the ratification meet ing last night, and he did notanticipate such a powerful, popular weleomc as he has received. He is deeply gratified at the kindness of his welcome, and will bear with hence, we iavo been told pleasing and " lasting impressions ot the kindness and courtesy and hospi pitality of our people. f And let us assure Gov. Jarvis here that the pleasure has been mu tual. It has been not only a pleas ure but a pride , to u3 toi entertain oit Executive and we aref glad to know that his visit has been an en joyable one to him as well as to us. Somehow, it seems that this visit cf his Excellency to our city has brought us all into closer and more pldasant so- cialrelation with him Chan i has been the case on any previous occasion and the- result has been highly gratifying. A Narrow Escape. People cannot be too careful when anything like fire is to be handled Last night, at a residence in this city, a gentleman and his wife, having an ia'ant in tne oea wun mem, f were an noyed by the singing ot mosquitoes in the net and the lady got up to fry and set rid of them. She took the night- lamp and approaching too near the bed the net caught on nre. lhe gentleman sprang up and tore the burning net down out in uoing so his hands were badlv burned. He succeeded in son pressing the flames and although the net was destroyed yet the infant sleep ing in the bed was uninjured, as was also a child sleeping in arcrib aJew feet from the bed. It was ; truly a Provi dential escape and should serve as raining to others.
