Inherited Blood Poison. " '
How many people there are whoso distress
from sores, aches, pains and eruptive ten
dencies are doe to Inherited Wood poison.
Bad blood passes from parent to chlld,and it is
therefore la the duty ot husband and wile to
fceep their blood pure. This is easily accom
plished by a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., At
lanta, for boos or most convincing' proof.
James Rill, Atlanta, Ga , writes: "My two
sons were afflicted with bloodpotson. which
doctors said was hereditary. They both brofce
oct in sores and eruptions which B. B. is.
promptly controlled and finally cured com
pletely." , Mrs. s. 5L Williams, Sandy, Texas, .writes:
"Mj three poor afflicted children, who inher
ited blood poison, have Improved rapidly alter
oseofB.B.B. It is a Godsend."
J. R. Wilson, Jlen Alpine Station, N. C,
Pea. 13. 1885, writes: "Bono and blood npison
forced me to have my leg amputated, and on
the stump there came a large ulcer, which
grew worse very day until doctors gave me
up to die. I only weighed 120 pounds when I
began to take B. B. B., and 12 bottles Increased

VOL. XIII. WILMINGTON, N. C. THURSDAY, DECEMBER
Mr. George W. Childs has been
elected president of the Pennsyl.
vania Horticultural Society.
v Carl Schnrz, who has been 6o seri
!
ously ill with pleurisy at his resi
dence in New York, is i approving.
The net earning: of all of theail
roads comprised in the Richmond,
and Danville system have Seen $3,
895.888 duriDg th'e past year.
The President has nominated
Judge David J. Brewer, of Kansas,
a nephew of Jastiee Fields, to be au
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
The Leo Monument Association
have presented the equestrian statue
ofthe great soldier, which is now
nearly completed, to the State of
Virginia
A reverend English bishop has
confessed that the two chief ambi -tions
of his life have been to write a
good novel and to run a hotel "on
the best principles."
Queen Victoria is said to have a
number of manuscripts in her pos
session, consisting mainly -of poem
and short stories, which may be
published after her death.
Gov. Jackson, of Maryland, has
withdrawn his proclamation as to
the Hog island flats and the oyster
differences between that State and
Maryland will be amicably adjusted.
It is stated not upon the beBt
authority, howeverthat Mr. Stan
ley's new book is to be entitled
'How I Relieved Emin," and that
he is to receive 40,000 for the copy
right. When the doc tors fall out, who
shall agree? Dr. Blaine says that,
trnsts are largely private affairs,"
and Dr. Harrison pronounces them
"dangerous conspiracies against the
public good."
.
Mr. Irying M. Scott, one of the
proprietors of the Union IronWorks
of San Francisco, enjoyed his visit
to Baltimore thoroughly. He left
there a poor boy. He returned a
millionaire. His company employ3
1,400 men.
The proceedings in Congress are
thus far very tame and of no general
interest;. The Senators from three
of the four new States were seated
yesterday. In the Senate 505 bills
were introduced yesterday, against
568 on the first day of the last
Congress.
And what's the matter with Han
nah? We mean Montana. Ob, she's
all right. TheRepublicans are very
anxions to compromise on a basis of
one Senator to each party but the
Democrats can't see it by the light
of that tallow dip and so thoy f till
hold the fort.
Mr. Benny Bowlegs has not set
the Potomac river on fire yet. His
message seems to hare fallen upon
Crongressional ears, for the most part
as something "flat, stale and un
profitable." The quotation does'n
miss the mark very far. No pre
vious message has excited so little
Interest.
The lame insinuation in the open
ing of the President's message; that
it might be stolen by hungry report
ers. Is decidedly out of place. The
general sentiment seems to be that
when Mr. Harrison's imitations and
appropriations of Democratic policy
are eliminated from the paper there
will be nothing left to steal.
Henry George says that he will,
as soon as the funds are available
ffromthe bequest of nearly $30,000
left to him by a New Jersey farmer
for the dissemination of such work
as "Progress and Poverty," print as
large an edition as the money wil
allow for distribution among far
mers, and will turn over everything
above the bare cost to the widow,
in whose favor he had already offer
ed to abandon his claims, if the col'
lateral heirs would 'abandon theirs

Cosh vs. Credit-
My unparalelled suceess since I
have inaugurated my cash system

beyond doubt that the public ap
preciate low cash prices-and that a

sell his competitors who credit. I
shall offer extra inducements from
now until after the holidays to all
purchasers of Clothing, Furnishing
Goods, Hats and Caps.

The First Day.
To-day was the first of the three
days set apart by Mrs. Wiggins for
a grand opening at the Ladies' Em
porium, on Market street. The at
tendance was large, a great many
ladies having honored the occasion
with their presence. To every cash
purchaser was given a souvenir.
The stock is a large and handsome
one and was tastefully displayed. In
addition to the regular lines of mil
linery and fancy goods there is also
a handsome and attractive assort
ment of articles for holiday . pres
ents, which Mrs. Wiggins urges the
gentlemen to cajl and inspect. The
grand opening wl il continue to-morrow
and Saturday.
Ml-. Olidtlon's Lecture.
Rev. A. M. Gliddon delivered a
highly entertaining lecture ' last
night in St. Luke's Church, and to
a larger audience than that which
appeared at the Opera House the
night previous. One who heurd him
writes us as follows: "Rev. Mr
GIfddon's lecture on "Woman: Her
Placo and Power," at St. Luke's'
Churoh last night was a most- eru
dite, humorous, logical, eloquent
and powerful effort, and the distin
guished gentleman won for himself
the' deepest appreciation in the
hearts of all .who value such -rare
literary attainments. Fcpm the
time he entered upon the platform
to'tho close of his address every eye
was anxiously gazing upon him as
to whom they had so many times
heard the question asked: 'Who is
Gliddon?' It is a great pity that
everybody did not hear him, and es
pecially the women."
