New York Germans are organizing
for Cleveland's support, with addresses
byCarl Schurz and other prominent
speakers. '
Gov. Cleveland will not be able to
visit Chicago, as it Was expected he
would, on account of a press of busi
ness.
The color line has been abolished in
the public schools of New York City.
which were reopened on Monday. By
Act of Legislature, in May, the colored
schools, as such distinctively, were
abolished, and the pupils, black and
white, were all merged together. The
law was to take effect in September,
1884.
Sergeants Brainerd and Long and
Private Cornell, survivors of the Greely
Arctic Expedition, who have been on
show at a dime museum at Cleveland,
have been ordered by the Government
to return to duty at Portsmouth, N. H.
Thisisquitea blow to tbe manager,
who had made engagements for their
appearance at different dime museums
at $1,000 per week.
Madame Patti has introduced the
electric light in her castle at Wales,,
and at night the interior is in a bril
liant glow from cellar to parapet.
Every device has been employed to
produce novel and brilliant effects.
One of them is to vary the colors oi the
rooms by means of tinted shade3, so
that no two rooms in the establishment
are alike,
Jules Verne will soon have an opor

for it and nothing happens. A new
submarine boat has been invented
which is to be propelled by electricity
and will carry, compressed air revivi
fied by electricity. The captain will
wear a suit of submarine armor, but
how he can steer in the darkness of the
deep ocean Jules Verne will have to
discover.

Convention from October 1st to Sep

Maj. Stedman is to speak at that place.
We hear it whispered by the breezes
that gently blow that the Cornet
Concert Club will give one of their
popular open-air concerts at the City
Hall Park before many days. The time
is not fixed positively, but it will prob
ably be while the new moon is favor
able. Change of Pastors.
The following information, which we
clip from the Charlotte Observer, will
be interesting to our readers :
Rev. Father Gross, late of Hickory,
arrived in the city yesterday to take
charge of St. Peter's (Catholic) Church
and parish in this city. Father Gross
succeeds Father Wright, who goes to
Charleston with Bishop Northrop,
where he will be assigned to a new
charge. The Catholics of Charlotte,
while regretting the departure ot Father
Wright, are delighted over their good
fortune in securing the services ot Father
Gross, who stands high among the
Catholic clergy of the South.
Wilmington Postollice.
The remarks in the Review regard
ing the assessment of tbe employes of
the po3tofiice in this city and the dis
charge of one of the force, haye created
some little stir in the Republican ranks.
One of the most prominent of tbe party,
who ought from his position to know
the facts in the matter, stated to us
yesterday that the last Congress appro
priated $100,000 less than the estimated
needs of the postoflice department for
this branch ot the service, in conse
quence of which a reduction in the ex
penses of the Wilmington office of $1.
200 became necessary. He further
stated that the reduction was ordered
upon the written report of a special
agent, who had been sent to this as
well as to o her offices, whose duty it
was to investigate and see what pro
portion of decrease each office should
bear ; and he farther stated that in
making the investigation upon which
to base his estimates, the special agent
already spoken of might find that, in
order to equalize as far as possible tbe
expenses in proportion to the receipts,
there were probably some o flices which
were entittled to more than they were
already receiving, which might, in part.
account for the large reduction in the
Wilmington office.
Now, there were in the United States.
when the last census was taken, one
hundred and twenty-four cities as large
as, or larger than, Wilmington. There
are now about 50,000 postofliccs in the
country. It the businef3 of the post
oflice department has been conducted
on business principles, so that each
office should bear an equitable and just
portion ot the expenses, and receive a
proportionate share of fees and emolu
ments of office, in proportion to the
population served, there would have
been no need of taking $1,200 from the
expenses of this postoflice. On the
other hand, if a reduction amounting to
so large a sum is demanded to equalize
the deficit and let it fall foirly and im
partially on all offices, then tbe Wil
mington postoflice has been swimming
in a sea of fiscal glory for, lo! these
many years!
Col. Brink has proved a faithful and
an efficient officer and the force under
him have been faithful, courteous and
obliging, and we have no fault to find
with any ot them, but we have been
informed by very good authority that
the young gentleman who was recently
discharged was assessed lor campaign,
purposes and the money was paid be
fore his discharge was , handed him.
And it U also said that all of the em ploy
ees of the ofSce were assessed at the
Esmi tin and for tfceEsno; parpes?.
Mm
To Advertisers.
The fact that the Daily Review has
tbe larcest circulation in this city and
the surrounding country of any paper
published here does not seem to be
properly understood and appreciated
by the advertising public. And not
only is its subscription list the largest
but its prices on contracts are the low
est. These facts are of interest and im
portance to the mercantile commun
ity and should be thoroughly under
stood and appreciated by them. We
invite those meaning business to call at
this oHiee and substantiate our asser
tions. Home Scuppernongs.
Our young, friend, Willie Monroe,
who is at present on a visit to his uncle,
Mr. M. C. Collins, at Burgaw, sends us
a few scuppernong grapes as "samples"
of the kind they have there. The larg
est of these grapes actually measures
four inches in circumference. They
are certainly hard to beat, and our only
regret is that Willie didn't send what
we should like to classify as a 'fair
sample," say a peck 01 two.
Fine Fruit.
Capt. S. W. Nobles received this
morning a box of grapes sent him
by Mr. H. S. Nunn, of the New
berne Journal, They werefrom the
vineyard of Hon. O. Hubbs, and the
donor desired that Capt. Nobles should
give them a name. The fruit was of a
dark purple color; were large, and
luscious to taste, possessing a large
amount of sugar. Capt. Nobles class
es among the mascadines, but has not
decided upon a name. They will be
sent to the exposition.
At Polut Caswell.
Maj. C. W. McClammy , ot Pender,
Presidential Elector for the Congres
sional District. Messrs E. W. Kerr, of
Sampson, and T. W. Strange, ot this
city, addressed the Democracy of Pen
der.at Point Caswell yesterday. There
was a good turn out and an intelligent
audience and the several speakers pre
sented the issues of the present contest
in such a forcible, logical and praticaj
manner as to secure the profound at
tention of the listeners. Everything
passed off pleasantly with nothing to
mar the entire harmony of the meeting.
Slight Fire.
At about noon to-day fire Ay as dis
covered on the root ot Mr. .G. J. Bo.
ney's engine room on Nutt street, be
tween Mulberry and Walnut. The
alarm was immediately given and the
fire department were on hand with re
markable quickness and in a very few
moments the flames were extinguished.
The fire had been gotten well under
control by the exertions of those in the
vicinity before the arrival of the engines
so that there was comparatively little
for tbe latter to do. The fire was caus
ed by tbe extreme heat of the flue which
caused the boards of the roof to be
come ignited. A small hole was burn
ed in the roof. Damage nominal.
Since the above was in type we are
informed that the fire was extinguished
by the efforts of some of the members
of Wilmington Hook & Ladder Co.,
No. 1, who, when the alarm was given
rushed to Mr. J. W. Taylor's mill yard
and took the hose which he has there
and making it fast to a - hydrant soon
extinguished the flames. '
A. Prosperous 13 us in ess.
The chicken thieves arc doing a large
and prosperous business just now. It
would appear that there was too much
risk in the business to insure its vigor
ous pursuit, but such seems not to be
the case,nd these midnight harvesters
of other people's poultry arc among the
most prosperous and thriving business
men in our city. They have advantages
not possessed by those who are so con
scientious as to follow a legitimate
business only. They require no capital
to begin with; they have no taxes
to pay, no licences to obtain
and poultry always commends a good
price and finds a ready market in our
city. These facts probably actuated
some thief or thieves to enter the prem
ises of Mr. C. Schwarz, on Seventh
street, between Mulberry and Walnut,
last night and take every fowl sure
one. They succeeded in getting away
with nine out of a flock of ten. They
next made a visit to the rcost of Mr.
John W. Perdew. on the adjoining lot,
and took ten, leaving only four. This
made nineteen which they got from the
two places which, if sold at 25 cents
each, tresis ruaks a good night's work.

Personal.
Maj. O. M. Sadler, District Super
intendent of the Southernj Express
Company, is in the city to-day.
Maj. John Hughes, of Ncwbern, was
in the city yesterday, to meet with
Bishop Watson and ethers, members of
the Standing Committee of the Diocese

Out Again.
We were glad to see officer Latham
on our streets again ibis forenoon. It
was the first time he had been; down
town since he was shot, and, although
yet suffering considerably from the
effects ot his wound, is much better
than we expected. We congratulate
him on his convalescence and hope for
him a speedy and complete recovery.
