Walters is to remain in this city, and that it is to be open to the public, as heretofore, on stated occasions, is most gratifying Apart from any mere sentiment of local bride, the removal of this collection or any part of it from this city wou'.a nav been a most serious artistic loss tg us. It has exercised a most important influence in educating and elevating public tsste in art matters, and it is a cause for sin cere congratulation that it is to continue this work for the future. In doing this it will also continue to minister to the ;ause of charity, Mr. Henry Walters, who is to become the sole owner of the collection, having determined to follow his father's generous custom of donating to the Poor Association the receipt? ol the admissions to the gallery. How larer-a revenue it has contributed to thif object is shown by the statement that in the t-leven years duriDg wnicn tnw ; cus tjom has prevailed more than $30,000 has been collected and paid over to the association. This is a noble and envia ble record of good done without ostenta tion, and the; thanks of the community are due to the son, who ha3 determined to emulate the liberal and public spieitt d fxamplrt of his father. Baltimore bun, Dec. 12th. - . A. Vision From spirit Land W. J. Driscoll. of Jacksonville,- Fla. superintendent or mails, was a warm friend of the late Owen Summers, jwho took a great fancy to Mr. Driscoll's boy, a bright j little youngster of nearly years. ; The judge frequently petted him and gave him dainties, and in return was fully repaid by the child s admiration Ndw comes the strange part of the story, rather to be accounted for in the occult than any ordinary science that men be lieve through! the proof of causes by ef fect. On the night that Judge Sum mers died Ithe little fellow, awoke with start, followed by scream and exclamation, in a voice trembling; with terror: ".Oh, mamma mamma! liJiidge Summers says I he's dead." The little lad was bathed incold perspiration; told that he He was was comforted dreaming, and and only af Cer some time was tucked away sound asleep in his crib. The next morning the announcement came, startling I the whole community, that Owen Summers was dead. Now the question is: fDid the spirit of Owen Summers, winging its way tuiq me great uniuiuwn, tap ai tae child's cribi in the dead of night, and whisper j in; the little fellow's ear an eternal farewell?

Lanier of Salis bury known to eve.ybody as Jim Lanier He was a remarkable man. He had a genius for-making mosey. He was a distiller, a drinker and a gambler. Bat oh! the tenderness; of that man's heart. One would not nave Ba-pected it from the exterior, nor from his conversation, for he was rough; of bpeech, and he did ten kind deeds it for one kind word he spoke. We doubt if jthere is a man 1 in North Carolinaf of itwice his means I who has given away half as a much in charity. Nobody around him. could suffer for anything jtaat money could buy. if Jim Lanier knew it. White folks and black they were all the same to him. A darkey Would go to him in winter for wood he 8 a ore at him, ('gave him a load, and when that was out the darkey came nd eot another; He abused half of those who came to him for j charity! it was a way he had; but he never with held the charity, j Nearly all of his ben efactions were to the very poor, and it s questionable if any half dozen men in the State have prevented as much phys ical suffering done a3 much needed bharity. . j .if j ' S j He wa3 a study. If he-had given dif ferently and to a different class of people, his deeds might have been taken by the thoughtless for ostentation, but he- jwas hot that kind Of a man. Much or his bharity seemed from his language to have Jbeen grudgingly bestowed none pf it was, He was as geterous as a lord knd his heart was as soft ss a woman's. His case makes us wonder: We won der if the Lord permitted him to make so much money he made and lost two? or three small fortunes because he did so much good with it? We wonder if J in view of his occupation and his habits. but remembering also his benefac 10ns, there are any entries at all on the crjedit pide of the account kept with him aoove. and if his good deed3 here will make it &ny easier for him hereafter? Anyhow, the poor of Salisbury wiu hope and will pray so. They have jlost their best friend. (jnariotte uoseryer. Be Got Kicb. on Bribes.

As a matter of fact it ia pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary .country butter. A - special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas City, manufacturers oi the widely ad- vertised ; silver unurn untierine. o. five story bnilding is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Every thing is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life. Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: "The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as a most valuable article of food." Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food."

St. Louis GTobe Democrat "You would never imagine that the human stomach was more invulnerable to alcohol than an oyster can, would you?" Said F. A. Carter,, of Louisville, Ky. The friends throughly agreed that their imagination would never run thus far, and the question proceeded r "In the whiskey concern winch I repre sent there is employed an old darky. I suppose he is well advanced in the severi ties. The firm is controlled by a typical Southern gentleman, who owned, before the war, among other slaves, the darky referred to. Therefore, the darky takes to Jiimself all the privileges of the favored servitor. Among these is one not allowed to any other employe, the consumption of a certain quantity of the product of the distillery day by day. But ordinary whiskey will not satisfy him. So he pro cures an oyster can and fills it with what a whiskey man calls low wines. These low wines consist of what, to use another technical phrase, is described as 'hot shot'. That is, they are formed of the condensed steam of the first boil of the material used in whiskey manufacture. They are never below 160 degrees in proof. He filU the oyster can with this every morning, coming doWn to the dis tillery even on Sunday for the purpose, and sip by sip, draining it to the dreg3 before night arrives. Every week he ia compelled to get a new oyster can, for every week one is completely burned through by the alcohol. Yet the old darkey goes on with his drinfcing. Sev eral doctors have been to visit him. They all assure him that he will drop dead without a moment's warning if he does not quit his habit. 'Never mind, massa,' he will reply, 'I ain't never dropped daid yit,' and his teeth shine like a cat's eyes in a coal hole as he says it," New York, Dec. 12. R. F.

Per sons that meet us in person will find this a very convenient store to trade at. We have three floors all packed to running over with new goods, with 16 nice, liyely young clerks that neat you nicely and politely, and sell you goods cheaper than you ever saw them. We struggled seven long years on the old style of credit system, somebody trusting us, we trusting somebody else. We changed that old rule. By buying for cash and selling for cash is the.way to get real genuine, good bargains. In the old style we managed to live and pay our debts; in the new style we are on the road to torture. This is a lengthy card. Let me say a few words about Toys. Santa Claus, the friend to the little ones, has come to see us and brought with him the prettiest Toys, the greatest variety ever seen before. These New and Nobby Toys will 'please the old as well as the young. He wants us to send all the little folks in town and county a card to come and see the presents he has for them. We cannot de scribe theToySj but say this: They are all opened and are now ready for your inspec tion. Come as soon as convenient and make your selection before the rush. All our old customers know we are head quarters for all classes of goods. Our stock throughout our store is more complete to day than it has ever been -in the past in every department. Wehave bought in one Job Lot of Shoes, goodlionest goods, 2,000 pair, besides the large stock we had before. Women shoes from 50c a pair up; children's shoes from 20c up; men's shoes 75c and up: good whole stock boots $1 25; rubbers and shoe findings of every description. Come to see us. We are on Front street, opposite the Market House, and get everything you want for the cash. Braddy & Gaylord PROPRIETORS, Wilmington's Big Racket Store.
