I If the wishes of the soldiers are j consulted the Seaside Park will be ,come a permanent encampment ground.

American History. The opening article in the An imef Magazine of American History is an interesting and valuable study , of the career of "Roseoe Conkling." nil. :ii.-f ..rifh pictures of Mr. Conkling's beautiful home in Utica. The second article isa graphic and intensely readable sketch "About Philadelphia 1750," by the editor. This is followed with Grant." 'The Conquest of the Mayas" is the fourth and conclud ing paper in the charming histori cal sketches of Yucatan. "Inci dents of Border Life in Ohio" is a short but well-told story of early hardships. We have another chap ter from the "Englishman's Pocket Note Book in 1828," and a most stir ring account it is of his picturesque journey beyond Vera ' Cruz. The "Journal of Lieutenant Tjerck Beek- man, 1779," is a document of special value. Then comes a chapter of Washingtonia, with an unpublished portrait or Washington, irom a sketch made on the back of a king of clubs, and fac similes of two let ters addressed toliisnephew,George Augustine Washington. Minor Top ics tnis month contains an unusual number of short readable articles. Original Documents has a quaint old petition toLordBellomont when he was Governor of New York. Price $o a year. Published at 743 Broadway, New York. Fun In Camp. Some wicked pranks were played by the troops occasionally durin the encampment. While we do not endorse such as the following we nevertheless tell it for the benefit of our readersrQA madcap member of Co. , Regiment, on Thurs day night came across a party of bootblacks sound asleep around a fare on the outskirts of the camp when a brilliant idea suddenly oc curred to him. He hurried to his company quarters and imparted the scheme to several of his comrades and induced them to join him. The party secured their pieces and man aged to get outside or tne camp without detection. They then sur rounded the sleeping squad of boot blacks and awaking them told them that they, had been robbed and accused them of the, theft. They would take no denial but told them that military lav was very- strict in this particular. When a thief was caught m camp lie was generally hung but in this instance, as they were all boys, they would give them a chance for life. Each man then rammed a blank cartridge into his gun and told the boys that they must run for their lives. As they ran they would be shot at and the innocent would all escape but the guilty party was sure to be hit". The word was then given and the boys went like the wind and yelling like unto Comanche Indians. The party fired and it is needless to sav that the boys all escaped. Dog collars.

And all but he departed." The Wilmington Light Infanty were the last to break camp. They came up to the city this forenoon, and were marcheddown Front street to Market, up Market to Third and on Third to the Armory, where they were disbanded. . The Scotland Neck Mounted Rifle men ami the companies from Ashe ville, Charlotte, Fayettevilie and Waynesville left the camp this morn ing. - Next to the W. L. I. they were the las to leave." A-crowd of soldier boys were on a lark last night and tore down the round house on the camp grounds. It was a shameful thing to do and was heartily condemned by all of the troops left in camp tins morn ing. The Q. M. G. will, we presume, have it replaced. Several members of the Durham Company are so favorably impressed with their yisit here that they pro pose to remain several days longer. The health of the troops has been a matter of real congratulation. rney coma not nave remained in better condition at home. The Elizabeth City Band visited Summer Rest yesterday morning and serenaded Mr. M. Cronly, at his resi-t dence there. - One of the Surgeon General's staff jaughingly remarked that the only two things in his department which have been requisitioned were whis key arid witch hazel the latter to cure sun-burn. . The tents will all be removed to morrow morning and then indeed will the dullness of desolation be realized. Camp Pender .is now a thing of the past. Let it be Camp Whiting next year. As suggested else where in this is sue no better place can be found anywnere in tne estate i or tne pro posed Confederate Soldiers' Home than this same Seaside Park. The Seacoast Road has reduced its schedule to seven trains a day. They have run as many as 32 a day during the Encampment. There was a big rush to the Hum. mocks to-day, and to see the last of the Encampment. Wrights ville looked somewhat like its old self this morning, the excite ment of the Encampment havingall subsided. Several parties of soldiers went outside on fishings frolics yesterday and generally they had good luck. Mr. Marion Cobb, of the Edge combe Guards, of whose injury we spoke yesterday, was so much bet-, ter this forenoon that it was deemed safe to move him. He was carefully taken up this morning and convey ed to the train and is now, we hope, comfortably at rest in his home. The surgeon who attended him says that his friends need not feel alarm ed aa to his condition. A grand german was given at Island Beach Hotel last night com plimentary to the visiting military. It was a delightful occasion and was greatly enjoyed by all who par ticipated. " - The game of baseball yesterday between a picked nine from the First anei-Second Regiments and one from the Third and Fourth resulted in a score of 6 for the latter and 4 for the former. We Didn't See Any Tears. The Messenger has a yery pathetic picture of rivers of tears rolling down the war-worn cheeks of the oid Vets at Ayrightsville. Too much paint there. We didn't see any anybody cry but we heard lots of J- f . .. , ., hearty lauerhs. the natural ntail- ment of scores of good jokes. Many , -rrJ -'.A of these same old Yets cried like babies when Lee eurrendered, but tne rnst nflnse i now simnlv a ten- der regret, rather than a consuming j grief. t it adopted. The grounds are large and the- buildings already there will prove ample for the purpose for some yiears to come. We hope that the suggestion may be acted n pon. His Rlushing Honors. Our gallant friend, Mr. W. R. Mor rison, of the Wilmington Light In -fantr,y, who won the honors in the competiti ve drill at the camp grounds on AVednesday, has been the recip" ient ever since of the -most cordial congratulations. . The young ladies, in especial, have giyen many demon strations of their delight ' and their appreciation has taken the shape of offerings in the , form of beautiful flowers and'; luscious fruit "None but the brdve deserve the fair" and Willie fairly deserves all of the con gratulations he has received. - Weather Conditions for August. i ne weatner cnart ror August, as issued by the Signal Office here, and compiled from data for the past seventeen years, shows that during that month we usually have, be tween the 18th and 2215d, a sudden and decided cool change,accompani ed by winds shifting to northerly, alter winch it becomes warmer until about the 27th another cool change occurs. Tho warmest day recorded during the month was 99 deg. on the 2d, 1878; the coolest 5G deg. on the 28th, in 1874, ana on tne 3Utn and 3ist, in 1887. Clear days occur, orie in four. Rain occurs one day in 'every three, averaging .25 of an inch daily. The great daily rainfall recorded was 5.42 inches on 7th in 1872. The average nouriy velocity or wind is 5 inches from S. W., which is 21 per cent, of all wind directions for the month. The highest wind was 68 miles per hour from the west on the 18th, in 1879.-- : - -;.---:.; THE MAILS.
