The battle of flowers, a sort of car
nival celebration, took place at Nice
just before Lent began. The occu
pants of more than two hundred
carriages pelted each other and the

bouquets in and upon her carriage,
and Colonel North, the "Nitrate

The fastest time on record, for the
world, for a long distance, was made
on the Pennsylvania R. R., between

at night, and it was accomplished.
The distance between the two cities
Is 227 miles and this was accomplish

consisting of three cars and a bag

higgest engine on the road. There
were SO people on board. Flagmen
were stationed within sight of each
other all along the 227 miles of road,
so that the engineer had a signal al
ways in view. The average running
time was 54 miles per hour for the
434 miles covered and at, times the

A ,;coon club" is to be organized
in this city very shortly. It will start
with seven members perhaps with
"more. The fun in hunting coons
consists in wading through miles of
woods and swamps at night, some
times sinking in the mire up to the
seat of your breeches, getting your
hat carried away by the briers and
not getting any coons after all. It
is popularly supposed that an all
night's experience of this kind is
peculiarly stimulating and freshens
a young man up wonderfully for his
next day's duties,' but this may be
a mistake.

The com ing State Convention of

largest and most profitable gathering
of the kind ever held in North Caro
lina. It has back of it what no other
convention has ever had a full
year's work with a State Secretrry.
a year of organized District work,
and more financial support than ever
before.
At the last Convention the State
was divided into five districts, with
Charlotte, Winston. Durham, Golds
boro and Wilmington as the centres,
respectively. Committees were ap
pointed in each district to have
charge of the work in it. Each dis
trict has, during the year, held a
Convention, and in several of the
districts much more has been done
by inter-visitation of the active
workers, to spread the interest in the
work. The State Secretary, Mr.
Coulter, has visited a large part of
the towns in the State with the spe
cial purpose of awakening new in

A
dispatch from Signal Service
Observer Demain, at Southport. re
ceived at the Signal Office here at
8 o'clock last night, says: "A pilot
just in front outside reports that this
afternoon the revenue cutter Colfax
picked up about twelve miles at sea
the Italian barquetine Antonio, load
ed with sulphur and bound to Wil
mington. Her foremast and main
ami mizzen-topmasts had been car
ried-away. She is otherwise in
good condition, and her cargo is safe.
She is now off the bar. The cutter
is with her, and the tug Jones has
just gone out.'
Mr. Demain telegraphs to-day the
following additional news:
"Particulars concerning the barque
entine were sent in at 10 o'clock last
night by the officers of the cutter
Colfax. The revenue cutter has just
arrived at the bar with the dismast
ed Italian barquentine Antonio in
tow. The cutter fell in with her
about twelve miles off shore. It ap
pears that she left Sicato, Sicily,
with a cargo of brimstone for Wil
mington on December 23rd. On Jan
uary 29th, in lat. 243, 31' north, and
longitude 53, 50' west, during a fu
rious northwest gale, with a high
and dangerous sea. she was taken
back and lost her foremast, with all
attached, together with the main
topmasts. At the same time she
was boarded by a heavy sea and one
of her crew, Dominieo Spagna, was
swept overboard and lost. She was
furnished with provisions and water
on March 4th by the British steamer
Miranda, from New York for Ja
maica, and this supply had about
given out when the Colfax took her
in tow.'
