Samuel J. Randall is a thousand
times better man to day than some
of those who are denouncing him.
Mayor Grant says that the net
work of wires in the streets of New
York shall come down, even if he
has to take them down himself.
Ciood for Grant.
With Boulanger it is said to be A

It is said now that few members
of either House believe that an ex
tra session of Congress wiJU be call
ed. In that case there will be a,
great deal of work to be crowded in
to four days.
The New York Herald thinks that
Senator Blackburn ought toapolo-
gize to the American people for
pulling Chandler's ear. So do we.
We think he ought to apologize for
not raking r belittle puppy over nis
knee and using a shingle on him.
,a m -
ikAnd don't you forget it!" We
have alt seen the picture of the big
man trying to impress this admo
nition on another and they do say
that the little man in the picture
bears a remarkable and striking re
semblance to W. E. Chandler.
We have a high regard for the
opinion of the New York Herald in
most matters and would therefore
like to have it. on a certain point. If
the man who resents an insult is a
blackguard, will the Herald kindly
define for us the man who does not
resent one?"
Montana' will vote for State offi
cers next October. The Democrats
are very hopeful of success. J. K.
Toole, Congressional Delegate from
the Territory, will be the Demo
emtio candidate for Governor and
he says that the State is safely Dem
ocratic In the general interest attaching
to the movements of Harrison the
Secon.l those of that distin
guished Presidential tail, Levi
P. Morton, seem to have been un
accountably overlooked. He is in
New York yet but will probably be
on hand in Washington City on
Monday next.
According to the New York Herald
but three members of the Cabinet
had positively been decided upon on
Monday night. The status at that
time was Blaine, for State, Piatt for
P. M. General and Noble for Attorney-General.
Windom and Charles
Foster for the Treasury and Rusk
or Proctor for War were oi the
slate, but the Navy and Interior
were positive blanks.
mm tf
The New York Herald calls Sena
tor Blackburn a blackguard. Now,
we wonder what the author of that
article would charge to go to Wash
ington City and meet Blackburn in
the street and say to him personally
such a thing. He wouldn't do it, of
course, but then it might be a jour
nalistic venture that would result in
a Dig item of news, lf there was
anything left of him after the inter
view he might take the remnants
back to New York and tell the world
how Chandler felt when Blackburn
took him by the ear.
There is a bill for a dog law,
it has passed ,lthe House. It
been already pigeon-holed in
Senate- and there it will die
and
has
the
the
death. Why this "farmer's legisla
ture" cannot pluck up spunk enough
to pass a law which is so much in
their interest it is difficult to under
stand. The New 8 and Observer savs:
Here's news, sure enough. A -'dog
law" has actually passed one house
I of the Legislature the House of
! Representatives.. It did so yester
i day and on its third reading." It is
! Mr. Gibson's bill, known officially
, as H. B. 940, for the encouragement
of sheep husbandry. It orovides :
that when any one has a sheep kill-:
a . - ....
bu ur mjureu ny a tiog ne may swear j
; out a warrant against the supposed ,
owner of the doir and unon nroof I
that tha rAosvn - 1 1 n I
that the nprsnn nnniAil in fho urn r
rant is the owner of the dog that
'did the killing or iniurv. the J.
P. shall require him to pay the
owner of the sheep $3 for each sheep
K.aiieu aim f 1 ror eac h sheep injured.
It provides further that anv rlrc
anv aoe
m T a 1 a . . - "
lounu attempting to kill or injure
any sheep shall be killed. Now,
S1K!Sl5M10,I? -y.pl; .
the fear of legislators to pass alog
law? Of course the bid isrtt golntf
to become a law. -It isu-tt going to
past the Senat e as it has passed the
House. Aut with this explanation
we are ready to assent to what Mr.
Gibbons says to us in a little note
about the bill and that is
''This is
the only doe law t hat has
passed
the legislature of North Oaroliua
from the beginning of time until
now."

An Old Story. Look at a human
being when under that terrible tor
ture, rheumatism. Trival symp
toms were neglected until the dis
ease became established, whereas
all the long suffering could have
been prevented by the prompt use
of Salvation Oil, costing only 25
cents a bottle at all drug stores.
Thirty-two V ears Ago.
The battle of Moore's Creek was
fought this day 113 years ago. There
is a monument there to commemo
rate the event, raised by the pa
triotic citizens of this citv and sec-
I tion. It was erected in the year
! 1857. There was a big crowd pres
ent and t omiIitary companies from
Wilmington, the Wilmington Light
Infantry and the Wilmington Rifle
Cadets. If we recollect rightly the
address of commemoration was de
livered by the late Joshua G. Wright.
Painful Accident.
At about 1 0:30 o'alock this morn
ing, as one of the street cars waa
coming down Front street, and
when opposite the New Market
House, a small boy by the name of
Joe Darden, son of Mr. W-411. Dar
den, in jumping from the front of
the car fell, his left foot falling un
der the wheels, which passed over
it crushing it considerably. He was
taken to a store near by and as soon
as Superintendent Stedman heard
of the accident he had him removed
to Dr. Anderson's office, where his
wound was dressed, after which he
was taken to his father's- residence
in the Southern part of the city.
First Annual Meeting.

stockholders of the Wilmington Sea
coast R. R. was held yesterday.
The following Board of Directors

viz: B. G. Worth, Wm. Latimer, E.
S. Latimer, H. M. Bowden, J. H.
Ghadbourn, Jr., G. H. Smith, W. H.
Chadbourn, E. G. Barker, G. R.
French, Jr.
At a subsequent meeting of the
Board of Directors the following
officers were unanimously elected,
viz:
President E. S. Latimer.
Vice President B. G. Worth.
Secretary and Treasurer H. M.
Bowden.
General Manager J. H. Chad

The Old and the New.
The friendly suit which has been
pending between the "two Episcopal
dioceses in this State, relative to a
legacy of $20,000, devised by Miss
Mary Smith, of Chapel Hill, to the
diocese of North Carolina, has been
decided in favor of a division be
tween the two dioceses. The be
quest was made when, there was but
one diocese in the State, that of
North Carolina. No other decision
than that rendered by Judge Graves,
it seems tojus, was possible in the
case, and we have never yet seen the
necessity for .legal interference in
the matter. The diocese of East
Carolina is as much a corporate part
of the old dioceseof North Carolina
as is thepresent diocese bearing that
name. There was simply a division
of the aid diocese, a sort of dissolu
tion of partnership, as it were, and
hence the assets of the firm should
be divided.
About the Weather.
We have received from the United
States Signal, office the monthly
weather chart for March , wh ich is
based upon 18 years of observation
at this plaee4
Xhe transitions from hot to cold
are frequent and sudden with more
decided cool changes between the
3rd and 6th, the 17, th and 20th, and
20th and 84th and 26th. The highest
temperature was 84 deg. in 1878, and
the lowest 27 deg. in 1873. The wind
averages 9 miles an hour from the
southwest. The highest hourly ve
locity was 54.14 on the 17th. in 1876.
We have 1 clear day in each 4, 1
cloudy day in 3, and rain 1 day in
j each 2, with an average rainfall of
.14 of an inch.
The reatest dai rainfall was 5,2a

lecting spectacles you should be cau
tious not to take mdre magnifying
voioer than has been lost to the eve
as in the same proportion that you
pass that point of increase, will cause
you further injury to the eye. Using
glasses of stronger power than is ne
