S- Treasurer's statement shows the apparent deficit in the Treasury to be $634,733. Collections of inter nal revenue for the first eleven months of the fiscal year show an increase of over a million dollars. The U. S. Government has no official information as to the proposed intervention of Eu ropean powers in the affairs of Hayti. Specie exports from New York the past week amount to $2,751,698. Three young women were found dead in their beds yesterday in New York, suffocated by gas. Secretary Blaine is improving in health at Bar Harbor. revolt has broken out among President Balmaceda's troops in Chili, and part of them are marching to join the insurgents. The cotton ciop in sight is placed at 8,454,088 bales. The Mayor of Atlanta has created a sensation by refusing to license beer sa- i . . t ,wnS a commercial treaty nas been entered into by Germany. Austria, Italy and Switzerland, affecting France, England and the United States. Devastating storms have occurred in Kansas and Arkansas; many buildings were destroyed, crops ruined, and several persons were killed. The body of a young white woman was found on a railroad track at Columbia, S. C; the coroner's jury found that she was "killed by some person and her body placed where it was found.

There is a hotel waiter in a Santa Barbara, Cal., hotel who can jerk hash and serve soup in seven dif ferent languages. Some of the English papers want the Prince of Wales to renounce card playing. If the Prince did this hw would he exercise his great talents? The mercury is going up. So is the Republican party, though the leaders are trying to convince their people that they have a grip on the ground yet. A Washington dispatch informs us that the Treasury officials are not disturbed at the financial situation. There is enough money in sight to pav their salaries. The Emperor of China is getting ahead of the rioters who recently mobbed and killed foreigners in some Chinese towns. He has ordered their heads to be chopped off. The women of New York haven't such very large feet but it takes about 2,000 miles of stockings to cover them, and 400 miles of garter to keep the stockings where they ought to be. The London Times "almost wishes that the Prince of Wales had taken a pledge never to touch a card again." Considering'the poor poor success H. R. H. has met with in handling the spots and pictures he probably "almost wishes" he had. Secretary Noble associated with Refrigerator Raum and the pension hustlers so much that he had to go to the Arkansas Hot Springs to have some of the naughtiness boiled out of him. He has come back feeling sufficiently recuperated to hojd his grip. By a recent decision of the New York Court of Appeals, Herr Most, the anarchist, will have to retire to prison for c. while. It is a lucky thing for Johann that he can go to prison occasionally for these are the only times he ever gets the benefit of a good wash or has his hair combed. Distance seems to sharpen the vision of ex-head chopper Clarkson. Looking back all the way from Paris he has discovered that "the parties are about evenly balanced in this country now." The absence of ex Czar Reed with his 260 pounds of flesh didn't produce any such results as this. Boss Quay don't take much stock the tin-plate talk for boosting the Republican party in the nextjeam Pa'gn. He knows that it will 'take something with more of a meat buying property in it than tin-plate !nd cheek to help the Republican Party hold its grip in the next tussle. vuij. AJbVUl.-rJNO.-78. The Chicago Inter Ocean, Rea. which has got tired of New England money lenders sneering at the West and putting- on airs,-reminds the bean principality that there are sin gle counties in Iowa and Kansas which raise more corn than all of New England, and New England has to acknowledge the corn'. But New Englanders are not utterly self ish. They don't care how much corn Iowa and Kansas counties raise, and freely give them all the honors at tached thereto, if while raising so much corn they .will also raise the cash to pay off the mortgages lock ed up in New England safes. Commenting on the fact that Ken tucky boys took first and second honors at West Point this year, the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Rep., remarks "they raise blooded stock in the blue grass country." They do, for a fact, and when the loyal Republi cans in Harlan and other counties get down their shot-guns and go for each other they raise hades, also. A hot wave swept through the North the other day that sent the mercury booming up, and "fried the fat" out of the sovereigns irrespec tive of party. About Ihe same time a cold wave from the Columbus con vention struck Mr. Harrison and sent a shiver down his spinal column, and he at once bolted off to Cape May to brace up. GovernorCampbell, of Ohio, be lieves that to make the secret ballot law effective against bribery it should be accompanied by a com pulsory voting law. That wouldn't help Ohio much. It isn't too little voting, it is too much voting under the persuasive influence of two dol lar bills that is the matter with Ohio. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Geo. A. Peck Razors, &c Sol.

A Surprise Balloon Ascension Thrilling Event Hot Down on the Bills, Witi nessed by a Select Crowd. - j Several hundred people went to Caro-? Una Beach yesterday. The river was at Its best, and an elegant breeze swept the steamer's decks and put new life and vigor into the tired and weary passen gers that were lucky enough to escape from town upon the boat. After their: arrival at the Beach a genuine surprises was given . them in the way of a! successful balloon ascension. There had been no warning given, and when at 4 p. m. the preparations were begun for the ascension, the crowd, quickly gathered around and the opera- lions were watched witfr intense inter-; est. Promptly at 4.15 the arrangements' were completed and . MLLE. DE GRACE THE AERONAUT ' was assisted into the car and remarked to Prof. Houston, "Jet 'er rip, Boss.": The Prof, declined, politely but firmly, to "let 'er rip," but said that on the contrary they would "letter go." Pro-, fessor Houston, assisted by "Messrs.; Walton, Webb and others, cut the line that held the MAMMOTH AIR SHIP DE HARPER, and it started on its graceful career to ward the clouds. For an instant or two it quivered and floated over the waters of the mighty deep, gently tipping a whitecrested wave, and then as it soared upward the daring little lady WAVED A FAREWELL with her handkerchief and was answered by a mighty shout from the admiring throng below. As the airship floated majestically away, ex pressions of admiration were heard on all sides and the gentlemen in charge, were congratulated on the success of their undertaking; but as it began to disappear the expressions changed to sympathy for the lone passenger, and the general question was WHERE WILL SHE LAND. A searching party was at once organized to follow the direction taken by the bal loon, and latein the afternoon the pleas ing intelligence was received that Mile. DeGrace had LANDED SAFELY AT MASONBORO sound, and had been met and cared for by a party of ladies and gentlemen. She was none the worse for her venture and after being regally entertained was ESCORTED TO THE ClTY. Her whereabouts here was kept secret during the early evening, in order to allow proper rest after the fatigue and excitement of the day. She was later located AT THE PURCELL and was seen by a Star reporter. The Star man, who is naturally timid and bashful in the presence of the gentler sex, could not bring himself to ask her age or weight. But she is a TINY LITTLE CREATURE, very frail looking, and to judge by her looks is not over eighteen or nineteen years of age and quite pretty. She is not inclined to talk much, but does not seem at all embarassed in company and will RECEIVE ALL VISITORS that may wish to call while she is at the Purcell, where she will likely remain for several days.

This will require an out put of 40,000 of these dishes per day, giving employment to a number of people. - . TRUCK -FARMING. 1 The Development of the Industry in North Carolina The New York Sun in a long article on the development of truck farming in the South, mentions the Trucker's As sociation of Eastern Carolina and lheir convention held at Mount Olive, N. C. The proceedings, the Sun says indicate that the growers of that section, though late comers in the field, are progressive men, and the rear rank is not their place. They discussed drainage, culti vation, and fertilization scientifically and practically, and freely gave to each other the benefits of individual experi ence. The man whose berry crop was especially fine told the Convention just how he had taken care of the ground and the plants. The man who had the biggest success with aspar-j agus kept back no single detail of his methods of cultivation. He even pre sented the figures of his account with the asparagus field. It showed the astonishing result of a net profit of $300 per acre. The debit side included every cent's worth of labor and manure put upon the crop, the Interest charged on the land investment, the taxes paid, and the expense of gathering and trans porting the crop and of the commis sions. The credit side contained the figures of the handsome market returns.' Among the growers assembled in the Mount Olive Convention were the pioneers of the trucking industry in that field, J. S. Westbrook, one of "The Westbrooks" of Mount Olive, and Dr. Potter, of Rocky Point, N. C. Mr. H. M. Emerson, of Wilmington, the assistant General Freight and Pas senger Agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, was also an interested partici pant in the meetings of the Convention. The relations between the truck farm ers and the transportation companies are different from those of Western and Southern staple farmers, as is indicated by the talk of the Grange and Alliance people. There seems to be an inter dependence of interests and a partner ship of effort for mutual benefit. The train dispatcher's office at Wilmington is a place where everything is known about the cars and their contents from the more Southern points. Here the refrigerator cars are re-iced. Along the Wilmington and Weldon road there are 300 acres of strawberry fields between Wilmington and Golds boro, and about 400 acres of truck. Large quantities of whortleberries that grow wild are also shipped from that section. The value of the truck and berry crop is about $500,000. The ship ments are 70,000 boxes and almost 20, 000 barrels. Considerable attention has been directed to grape growing in this district lately, and good results are expected in a year or two.
