It is a melancholy fact that the American MHcty for Psychical Re search in iio!ton, organized for the particular purpose f investigating ghosts, has been unable to rind a single hatiuted house or b follow the peregrinations uf a single spec tre. It has advertised for haunted houses to no purpose, and has vain ly sought the society of the shades that stalk at night. The ghostshad hud a bri.-k season just before the society was formed, and the mem bers imagined they would have their hands full of business. They can not make bricks without straw, however, and so they will huVe. to wait patiently for another era of spectral activity to st't in." The Star is very kind when it says: He (Cleveland) disappointed some of the Democrats in North Carolina who regard the abolifion of the whiskey, beer and tobacco tax as the greatest of all questions, but they will not repudiate their Presi dent because of this. Most assuredly not. The Demo crats in 2orth Carolina are not built that way at least not. all of them. We believe in the abolition of the internal revenue tax, or at all events, in a different method of its enforcement, but this fact- does not diminish our regard and respect for President Cleveland, and our confi dence in him as one of the most honorable, sincere and upright Chief Magistrates this glorious Re public has ever had. Some tall swearing seems to have been done by Thobe (or Thoeb, or Thoebe, which is it?) and his sup porters, in their endeavor to oust Mr. Carlisle from his seat in the House. A New York Herald special from Washington says: Information has reached here from Kentucky which will enable Speak er Carlisle to effectually dispose of the sensational case wiiich it was attempted to make against him he lp re thelJominittee on Elections. In the first placesome of the affi davits are beyond question false. In the next place, Iwul as they are, they are ronno: not to j usury trie version of their contents, which was given verbally to the committee by coun sel and'thns found their wav into the press. There seems to be no ground for doubt that some of the makers of these aflidavits have fully exposed themselves to criminal prosecution. Some of the Republican members of the committee have expressed themselves strongly in the ma ttetllv wind has been blowiner to make and as indicated above. Y Senator Sherman gave immediate orders to the ttovernmeiit printer to put his recent speech on the tariff into pamphlet form. The Republi cans evidently intend to make free use of it as a campaign document. No time .was lost in getting orders for the protection tract let, a Senate page leing pressed into temporary service as a canvasser. He succeed ed in getting orders which, together with that of the author, wilfeall at once for 10,000 copies. Senator Stan ford asked for 6,000, Senator Sawyer ordered 5,009, Snootier went into the business, while Stewart, Paddock Palmer and Davis took the manf festo in smaller lots. The indica tions grow thick that the second batch of set speeches is not far off. Senator. William Pierce Frye. of Maine, has Geen preparing an.exor dium; the Senator from Kansas, who ordinarily occupies the chair, is reported to be inculiating an in cisive effort, the delivery of which will bring him once more to the floor after nearly a year of silence; and ou the other side, Joe Brown, of Georgia, has solemnly announced his intention of reading one of his ninety-eight page sermons, the text being one of reduction of the inter nal revenue.

The improvements in Custom House alley have been completed aud it is a piece of good work.

The Concert to be given, by the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, of Boston, at the Opera House, next Friday night, will be one of the not able musical events of the season and it will undoubtedly be attended by a large throng of the music lov ing people of the city. Mr. Thomas Ryan, the -Nestor of the Club, and whowas one of "the original memr bers, sharing With, and contributing to, its triumphs, will be with, them next Friday night. He, of course, will be well - remembered by the people of Wilmington.

The fire was on the roof of a shan ty and the flames were soon extin guished without any great loss of property. Industrial School. There was an informal meeting of several of our citizens at the Pro duce Exchange yesterdav afternoon to consider the ways and means for the. establishment of an industrial school in our city. Mr. D. MacRae was chairman of the meeting. Mr. Oscar Pearsall gave his views at some length and thought that the sum of $3,000 or $4,000 could be rais ed to aid in the matter. - After the subject had been fully and freely discussed it was suggested that Messrs. Oscar Pearsall and George R. French prepare articles of asso ciation and see what number of our citizens would become ; members and further, to canvass the practi cability of the scheme and how it may best be brought to a successf u res ult, and report thereon at some fu ture meeting. i Mrs. Shackelford's Death. In recording the death of this esti mable lady the Goldsboro Argus says: The death of Mrs. L. M. Shackel ford, whose extreme illness at the residence of Dr. B. F. Arrington we noted some time ago, occurred yes terday at noon. - she was surround ed by all her children, who have the consolation of knowing, in this sad hour of -their irreparable bereave ment, that she whom they mourn had every ' attention - that love and friendship and science could lavish upon her durincr all the patient weeks and declining days of her sickness. She was in the 64th year of her age and was the wife of Mr. Jas. Shackelford, late of Wil niingtony where her remains were taken yesterday evening for. inter ment. The sympathy of this entire colnmunity goes out in all sincerity to tnose wno nave neen tnus saaiy visited by Him who doe th all things well, and chasteneth in wisdom and love. . . .
