For the last 25 years of the, poet's Iile she was in personal attendance upon him. and she had a bountiful store ot an ecdote and gossip for those who came tJ hear her talk of him. She was buried in the family vault where the poet lies. W ith factories closing or running on half time, with miners striking, against reductions of wages, and with manu facturers vainly seeking profitable sales for their products or suggesting com binations to temporarily check supply, tae New York Tribune gaily speaks of toe "substantial prosperity of all inches of industry."

Thurman's approaching tour through California is promised to be a continual fete. Eord Lauderdale, tha British peer just dead, was a most eccentric person. age. He wa3 once missing for several years, a.nd when finally discovered was acting as abaggage porter on a railway line. The Executive Committee of the Na tional Labor Party repudiates all con nection with the Greenback and Anti Monopoly organizations, and recom mends workingmen to cast their votes for the candidates ot "the regular party that in their opinion best represents their interests.1' When Miss Beckwith tries to swim the English Channel in September she will be unaided by floats, but will be accompanied by the pilot, Jones, who thinks she will accomplish the feat in fifteen hours, and as she has already swam on one occasion for thirty hours he thinks her success is assured. The Catskills this season rival New port and Saratoga in the rates charged by the hotels and the elaborate coss tumcs of their patrons. A wealthy Philadelphian at the Eaaterskill House has taken for the season thirteen rooms for his party of fifteen. A fashionable lady at this resort has brought with her 117 costumes: Her inventory of ap parel and attendants is represented by eleven trunks, two'poodles and three maids. , The International Electrical Exhibi tion to be opened on September 2, at Philadelphia, promises to be the most complete affair of the kind ever held it is expected to surpass ail previous exhibitions and to show to what a won derful extent electricity has entered intp common use. The number of exhibits, it .is estimated, will reach 1,500, which will be divided into 29 classes, embrac ing, with a few slight exceptions, every known electrical device. Beniamin Franklin left &5.000 lo Boston to be loaned in small sums to young married mechanics under 25 who had served an apprenticeship, had good character, and could give bonds for the repayment of the money in annual in stallnients. The changed conditton ol mechanics, the decay of the apprentice system, and other causes have made the bequest of no value to those for whom it was intended under the rules Franklin laid down, The fund now amoudts to more than $200,000, and is increasing at the rate. of $10,000 a year. Two daily newspapers, whose spe cialty will be American news, are soon to be started in London! Almost equal ly significant is the change which, has of late marked the tone of the London papers regarding America. It was not yery long ago that ignorance of the af fairs ot this country was almost paraa ed as a virtue. There is a noticeable increase in the space now being given to American news, and it is the fash ion to profess intimacy with current affairs here, even where it does not always exist. - A correspondent of the Norfolk Vir" ginian asked Senator Bayard on his yacht the other day: "What do you think of the Cleveland scandal?" " Why," said he, 'it is only a proof of the degradation to which the Republi can party has come to resort to such a disreputable element of assault on the character of a public man." "Do you think it will hurt Cleveland's chances?" 'On the contrary, I think it will have the effect of disgusting all honorable men, and I am sure Mr. Cleveland's gersonal character can bear the as sault." Things Worth Knowing. There are a great many such things. One is, that, there is no use haviDg dys pepsia unless you. really like it and want to have it. It is an established fact that Brown's Iron Bitters will con quer this disease in short order and completely. Mr. Daniel L. Nickam, Springfield, Ohio, says, "Brown's Iron Bitters cured me of dyspepsia, nervous ness and wakefulness." City Drug Store. 21G MARKET STREET. (Nothing funny about this.)

There was no CityCourt this morn ing, and no tramps applied for lodg ing at the gnard house last night. The Bishop of the Diocese will (D.

Quite a large party went down the river on the Passport this morning on trie excursion gotten up by the Second Baptist Church. We have been shown a lot of Under shirts at the store of Dyer & Son which are marked down to 25 cents, the origi nal price was 50c, Horses and carriages were in demand to-day with which to goto Wrights ville to witnessnhe race between the yachts Rosa and Mascottc, which was to come off this afternoon. The steamer Wave has resumed her regular trips, again, and will hereafter be a regular visitor unless some acci dent should befall her, which we hope will not be the case. It appeared this morning much as if we should have rain before night, but the clouds were soon dissipated and the weather has been fine and quite hofi when we consider that the wind, has been from the Eastward all day. Wo invite the attention of our citizens to the fact that first quality shirts are being made to order at one dollar at the Wilmington Shirt Factory, . tf . The colored firemen, who have been on a visit to Raleigh, returned this morning, well pleased with their trip Upon their arrival here they marched through some of the principal streets, preceded by a band of music. At last accounts Sheriff Manning was making political speeches -down in Maine, and during his absence, his political opponents, the Hewlett faction are making all the hay possible. It would be advisable for the Sheriff to return at once and lookout for his share of tho "crap." or he may get left. Thre will be no service at St.. Paul's Lutheran Church next Sunday, as the pastor, Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, is still absent from the city. He will return, however in season to conduct the ser vice on the first Sunday in September, which will be one week from next Sun day.. - .

The purpose for which it is given is a most worthy one and cannot fail, to meet the approbation of every person within whose' bosom glows the ennobling spirit of patriot ism. We ought to account it a sweet privilege to aid the needy . veterans of the knightliest soldiery that ever struck for freedom. For us they suffered and by their fortitude and courage they taught the world what brave, honorable men can and will do in behalf of what they believe to be right. We trust that someTot the spirit of 'CO still lives and that old North Carolina, the cradle of American liberty, may not be remiss in this great duty she owes to the brave men who, by their valor and their sac rifice, wrought the brightest pages ot her history. Cautionary. We believe that the officers having charge of the sanitary condition ot the city are doing faithful and efficient work for the prevention of disease, but a few words of caution may not be out of place. We are close upon the month of September ne of the sickliest of tho yearwhen decaying vegetation under ihe influence of the frequent rains and the heat of the sun's rays, will be con stantly throwing its poisons into the atmosphere to carry sickness and possibly death to humanity. -Heat, moisture and vegetable decomposition are the great evils with which we have to contened until the frosts of the latter part ofOctober set in, and to . guard aeainst these our efforts Should be directed. All decaying vegetable matter should be at once removed or buried and all premises should bo thoroughly and frequently disinfected. Heads of families should cheerfully assist in this important work, and should be watch ful that ho indolent or careless servants should permit any accumulation of filth or garbage The city i3 remarkably healthy now, and wo doubt not that with proper vigilance and care it wil remain so. ' !! Democratic Meeting. Pursuant to announcement the Young Men's Democratic Club' of this city met at the City Court Room las1 night, the President, Mr. . W. H. Strauss, in the Chair. The following officers were elected to complete the organization: Vice President, City-at-Large E. G. Parmelee. - Vice President, Second Ward H. McL. Green. Assistant Marshal August iSoeller. Executive Committee Frank Maun der. E. J. Blair, W. L. Jacobs, Jr., J; D. Smith and!. J. Kiog. Short speeches were made by Messrs Parmelee and Green, in accepting the positions to which-thcy had beeu elect ed, which were well received by the Club. Mr. E. G. Blair next addressed the Club in a brief but forcible speech. Col. E. D. Hall also addressed the Club in an appropriate speech in which he urced upon the young Democrats of the city the necessity and importance of doing their whole duty in the cam- . 11. t ! paign, wnicn couia oniy De accompusn ed by the most thorough organization.

Onslow Items From a friend and subscriber at Sneed's Ferry.Onslow county, we learn that the farmers of that section have nearly finished fodder pulling, and thus far they have had excellent Weather for curing it., Mr. J. Yopp has raised a watermelon which weighed 55 pounds; Mr. D. R. Canady has pears which turn the scales at 20 ounces, while Mr. C. McClammy can boast of beets which weigh two pounds. Messrs. J. Capps & Co., turn out on an average 7,000 bricks per day at their brickyard. There is some sickness of a malarial nature but no serious re sults are anticipated. The mumps are also quite prevalent, cansing'a good miny of the pupils to remain away from the schools. Mr. J. F. Giles, the Democratic nominee for the office of Register of Deeds, is teaching school at Stone's Bay., but will closo in season to take the stump during the canvass. Mullets arc getting to be plentiful, and oysters will be in the course of a few more days. A railroad is badly needed, and the people are anxious to hear the shrill : whistle of the locomotive. The need of better facilities of travel to and com munication with this city js shown by the fact that goods from here, some time since, were more than three weeks in getting to Sneed's Ferry. ...
