Burial societies are .so popular in Eogland that a workman loses caste among his fellows if he does Dot be long to one. There is a reward of $10,000 offered by the French Government to any one who will successfully and economically apply electricity to the lighting and heating of dwellings. mm ' Of the three hundred voters comprise iDgthe Cleveland and Hendricks Club that was organized at Whitehaven, Wis., the other day, eighty-five have hitherto cted with the. Republican party. - Queen Kaliza, the coal-black African potentate of Italy's new colony of Aesab, now being lionized at Turin, though only sweet 16 is, it is said, the mother of two young prune-colored princes, respectively 7 and 5 years ot age. One ot the most accomplished writers and artists of England has recently been spending a short period t Hollo. way jail as an imprisoned debtor, in order to expose tho gross iniquities ot English law, under which debt is still treated as a crime. Cremation is making great strides in Krancr. Tho Prefect of the Seine will Boon establish Siemens, furnaces in several ot the cemeteries oi Paris, and will then incinerate , all unclaimed bodies, . An innovation is about to be intro duced into the French postoffice system. ! is proposed in future to stamp all letters by machinery, a By this means 'it is hoped that time will be saved, and that the imprint of the stamping office 73y be made clearer than by the pre- systcm of stamping by hand. A New Orleans merchant is trying to introduce the use of pennies in that city, where the cheap ia has not been used heretofore. The merchant marks bis smaller articles as follows: Hccnts, 21 cents, 49 cents. If the customers don't -want pennies they have the Privilege of taking change in postage stamps. . . representative Keifer, whoso reputa. turn has become so unsavory that even bis own constituents have been forced to cast him out; has announced his in tention to take tho stump for Blaine. Qf course Mr. Schuyler Colfax wil1 follow suit. This is natural and proper. These are the last three Republican ex Speakers, and they are bound together by a common tie. They are all tattooed men. . - . ; - f : ' ; " ' ' -- " - t : - VOL. VIII. Rev. BalJ, the clerical defamer, has sued the Boston Ilerald for libel. - Carter Harrison, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Illinois, ap pears to be confident that he will be elected The Democrats of the Erie District, in Pennsylvania have nominated Wil liam L. Scott for Congress." He has Lng been prominent in politics, has a vast deal ot money, will be elected and will make bi3 mark at Washington. Commodore Garrison, six months ago, rated himselt as being worth at least $17,000,000. A remorseless schedule of assets and liabilities .shows that his exact lortune, with debts and water squeezed out, is a litt'o the rise of $2,000,000. lie has cnonsh left for a poor man like himself to live on. The United Slates Cremation Society of New York has bought the marble front of the old St. Nicholas Hotel, and will use it in the construction of their crematory. The build i 11a: will be 40 by 04 feet, and tho architecture of the present Grecian style. The Siemens plan ot furnace has been adopted, with some modifications. Late advices .from Vera Cruz, Mexico, say that myriads of locusts have appeared in that State and great destruction to the cropshas resulted. In Yucatan and Southern Mexico hun dreds of square miles over the country are covered with the pests, and corn, grass and other cropsr are" utterly des troyed. It is said that thousands of families dependent upon small crops will have to be supported by the Gov ernment during the next six months. Visitors to Long Branch are astonish-f ed to behold tho spiendor in which At torney-General Brewster lives. His coming, says a Dewiiaerea corrcspon dent ,was preceded by seven horses and a ponyeight vehicles, sixteen trunks, four valises and a hat-box. Six rooms in the hotel and eight outside are occupied by hi3 forces, which consist of himself, Mrs. isrewster. tneir little son, a private secretary, a valet, a coachman, a footman and a maid. His victoria is ten teet high, and painted gold and black, with broad red wheels, and the coachman and footman are stupendous to contemplate. B. F. Jones, Gbairman'of theRepub lican National Committee, sent a circu lar to M. C. Thomas, a Republican mail contractor at Tuscaloosa, Ala., begging for a "voluntary" contribution to the Blaine campaign fund, and here is the answef he got : Dear Sir; Your letter of 23d solic iting contributions to campaign fund to aid in the election of Blaine and Log:an to the offices of President and Vice President of these United States, fully noted. I regret to state that I am short of campaign currency just now, but hope to be able to do something for them in November next. The graye which, under the management of Cleve land andllendricks, is being dug toy the Democratic party for the Blaine and Logan faction of the Republican party, will be wide and deep, aDd I hope to contribute mv mite to the filling up of that srave. I hope to mingle with the millions of honest Republicans and Democrats in that funeral and cover up the old Sar-route, 8 to 7 hulk so deep that resurrection will never reach it. So mote it be, M. C. Iiiomas. Rev. Dr. Twining spent two days in Buffalo investigating the lies which had been published against Governor Cieve land. Of some of the worst charges which have been made against him Dr. Twining says: "There remain the worse and damn ing charges of general libertinism and drunkenness. I say distinctly, after abundant inquiry, that they are false. They are, I believe, the productof the imagination ot the stews. Every at tempt to trace them led back into the merest gossip of saloons and brothels. On the other hand my inquiry of the noble3t Chiristtau men in tho city especially in the legal profession men above all reproach, men who will vote lor him and men who will vote and speak against him for political reasons, men who know Cleveland most inti mately, who have been his partners in business or his nearest neighbors, men who know nim by day and by night, brings the unanimous reply that it is utterly impossible that such reports can be true. He is a man of true and kind heart, frank-and open, so intense ly devoted to his business duties that it is impossible that he should bo a de bauchee. He has the heartiest respect of the best families in the city, who onry regretjthat ho keeps himselt so much out of the society to which he would be welcome.'- I was a Ions t"me a sufferer with rheumatism, says Mr. Anton Grandcc las,.

A correspondent writing from South Washington, Pender county, says that three rattiesnakes have been killed within the last tour days on the farm of Mr. John E. Rivenbark. The largest measured five feet and two inches in length and had thirteen rattles. Needs Removal. There is an old dead tree on the Northest corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets which is in a dangerous con dition besides being a nuisance to the eye. There are several others nearly as bad on Chestnut street, and they ought all to be removed before the gales of September shall blow them down to the peril of human life. , City Court. Emma Croom, colored, charged with disorderly conduct, was brought be fore the Mayor this morning. She was fined $10, in default of which she was sent below for 30 days. Margaret J. Davis, also colored, for disorderly conduct was fined $5, with the alternative of going below lor 10 days. She paid the fine. , . 1 - 11 . t .. Too Fayetteyille Survey. Capt. Rod MacRae having finished the survey of the route from this city to New River, and submitted his report of the same, will leave to-morrow with his assistants on the survey of the route to Fayetteville. He will leave the city at Hilton and will go through the Mount Misery district and along up through Pender county. It is- not known whether the line will cross Black on South river but as the old Fayette ville stage road from this city corssed Black River at Beatty's Bridge, so we think ltli kcly that that will be found the most practicable point for arauS road crossing. o Personal. Hon. Thomas S. Ashe, of Wadesboro Associate Justice o&the Supreme Court of North Carolina, was in the city to day and registered at the Purcell House.. Mr. Thomas Barry, of Richmond, Va was in the city to-day with a view to making a contract for furnishing stone for the government works on the lower Capo Fear. Mr. Jos B.

V . ' Z'. .- :"- Knisruts of Honor. The Committee of the North Caro Una Grand.Lrfxlge K. of H. met at Morehead City yesterday. The Grand Lodge only meets bi-ennially and on alternate years a committee of the Lodge meets to examine into the con dition of the order in thV State, its finances and prospects.

There was a busy time at the "Live Book and Music Store" of Mr. P Heinsberger this morning. A force of workmen were engaged in removing the partition wall between the two stores, in order to make one large roomy, light and commodious sales room, such as the large businevs of the house demands. As the arrangements have heretofore been, Mr. Heinsber ger has been very much cramped for spare and accommodation for the large stock he carries, which will be reme died by throwing the two stores into one. Aside from taking down the par titioa wall, other improvements will be made so that, when completed, the store will be one of the largest, most commodious and attractive of its kind in the South. Tne improvements are being made under the supervision of Mr. James F . Post., architect, which is a sufficient guarantee that they will be faithfully made. Criminal Court. The attention of the Court -has been occupied during the entire day in the hearing of arguments in the case of the State vs. Ransom Jones, colored, ac oused ot burglary, me case came on yesterday and the examination of wit nesses was not concluded until a late hour last night. The arguments were commenced this morning and continued during the day, up to the closing of our report, when the Solicitor,' Col. B. R. Moore, was making the final speech to the jury. Messrs. A. G. Ricaud, F. H. Darby, R. H. McKoy and J. T. Elliott appeared for the defense and Mr. J. D. Bellamy, Jr., assisted Col. Moore in the prosecu tion of the case. Fun Ahead! 4 A few years ago, before base ball be came such a fashionable sport, there was a game known as "Old Hundred' played here, and there is a . movement on, foot to revive that game. The game requires ten on' each side to play it, and a club of ten mar ried men has . been formed and another club, consisting entirely of ten unmarried men, is being formed. Mr. John Meier is captain of the married men's club and it is proposed to play a match game at Seaside Park, (o come ofTsometimc witlyn the next two weeks. Yesterday's Kesratta.

There are comparatively very few dogs in the city for which badges have been secured, and, j although the dogcarts have succeeded' in capturing and killing V few canines the number has not been materially reduced. The dog owners have a wonderful faculty of finding out when tho dog carts arc coming along, and for atimb none of tho brutes can be seen tori heard fronij though the streets niigtrt have been full of them half an hour before, and would be again in half an hour Afterwards. A Street Pageant. . A wagonette drawn by four horses and occupied by a colored band and a lot of colored boys-, paraded our streets this morning. The only white man in the party was seated besfde the drtver and his time seemed entirely occupied in scattering 'dodgers'? among the crowd which gathered wjierever a halt was made, upon which was the legend "Snioke Hustler cigars!') - A Bisr Rattler1. A rettlesnako was killed near Lake Waccamaw yesterday which measured 7 feet in length, 13 inches in circum ference and bad 8 rallies.
