Vanity.
ScarcHy of Material.
Yesterday was a diatxtsslngly dull and un
important day for item.' The Five Pointers
were as quiet as lambs; thera was almost
nothing in the Cour. s ; there were nambera
of people about the Cburt House, but noth
ing transpired ; got a solitary dot could be
picked up at any of the depotsa-d, in short,
it was a dull a vexatiously dull day for
an uem gatherer. v
Amputation Perhaps Jieeessary.
Dr. McCombs has apprehensions that it
will be necessary to amputate the left foot of
the negro. Lucius Clarke, who slipped while
coupling cars on the Charlotte, Columbia &
Augusta Railroad, last Sunday morning, and
had that member badly mashed. Gangrene
baa already ell-nigh .destroyed two of the
toes, and the whole foot will probably have
to come off.
Salaries.
The salaries of. the employees in this city,
of the Western TJnion Telegraph Company,
have been reduced in conformity, with tbe
general redaction made all over the United
States on the 1st of January. The redaction

New Ten, Dollar Bills.
We see ft stated that the United States

scroll work rurrounding the word ''Ten," in
each letter of which has been introduced
delicate engravings of Canterbury girls.
Tbe Holiday Hop.
Mr Drake of tbe States ville American, hap

Doubtful About the Name.
' An old negro man was in the office of one
of the Magistrates, yesterday afternoon, after
a warrant for a man whose name he said was
"Mr. Jnstifler" or "Mr Sanctifier." he wasn't
right certain which, bat thought it was ''Mr
Jostifier." Owing to the extent of the doubt
existing in the mind of the suitor regarding
the name of tbe individual to whom k was
proposed to "put the law," the warrant was
not forthcoming.

Death et Julia Stouey.
We record with unfeigned sorrow the
death of little Julia Stoney, which occurred
early yesterday morning, after a period of
sickness covering not more than 43 hours.
Tbe whole coram unity will . read
this announcement wkh a grief as jinoere
as that which fills the bosom of the writer.
Few children were better known in the city,
and none was more generally loved. Her
brightness and amiability impressed them
selves upon all who knew ber, and the most
casual reader of character, mast have discov
ered in her the germs of a brilliant and no
ble womanhood.
The sudden and early demise of this bright
and beautifal tittle flower, has left a void in
the heart of the mother which the world
cannot fill, and we commend her to the
pitying mercy of Him who is too wis to err,
and who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb.
Bankrupt Court.
Thos B Keogh, Esq., Register in Bank
ruptcy, has been holding a Bankrupt Court
in this city for tbe past two days, at bis
room in the Central Hotel. The bus-mess of
public interest which has been transacted,
is summed up in the following :
In the case of Dr Wm Sloan, bankrupt,
John L Bailey. Jr., was elected assignee. A
petition was filed by a enditor, to Judge
Dick asking him not to approve the appoint
ment.
In the case f Jonathan R Kirkpatrici, R
M Miller was elected assignee by the credi
tors.
In the case of P M Murray, the examina
tion of witnesses was postponed.
Many proofs of debt were filed in the case
of the late Bank of Mecklenburg.
Business in this line has increased to such
an extent cf late, that Mr Keogh has de
termined to pay Berai-monthly visits to
Charlotte, to bold Bankrupt Court. He
leaves for home this morning.
A Stroll Threngli til Outskirts.
Ihe fact that one-half of the world doesW
not know what the other half is doing, can
be iutly realized if one will take a stroll
through the outskirts of even as small a city
aa this. People of the better class, who con
fine themselves ; to the principal streets,-!
know nothing at all of the people with
whom they live. Poverty and degradation,
it is true, are seeq every day upon the streets;
but these people most be seen at their habi
tations, and their habitations must be seen,
before one can have a proper conception of
the squalor in which they exist. There is an
appearance in the countenances of this class,
which is distinctive They have sallow,
care-worn -faces ; their clothes are tattered
and dirty, their hair uncombed, and their
whole appearance indicates poverty and de
gradation. Their bouses are unfurnished,
saye with broken chairs and tables, which
are cast about with an utter disregard of ap
pearances, and children in rags crawl over
the floor, tbe dirt on which is as thick as on
their faces
Everything betrays a state of affairs which
is but little removed from brutality; and so
accustomed are the denizens of these boles
to their situation that they seem to desire
nothing better. And there they live, year
after year, in their poverty and crime, and
finally die and are cast as de, with not a tear
and often with not even a sigh for their de
parture. These are tbe opposite of those who dress
in their purple and fine linen, and who dash
through tne streets in their elegant equip
pages, ignorant and careless of the fact that
beggary lives next door to thtm
Escaped From Jail by an Artifice.
We have had occasion to refer several
times to the notorious Stamper brothers,
who, about a year, murdered a man in Allef
ghany county, and had theii cases removed
They were known as bold, bad, Wily fel
lows, and Solicitor Cowles knowing that it
would not do to allow them to be confined
in the same jail, sent one to Statesville and
the otheto Leno-r. About three weeks ago,
we" mentioned the escape of the one who
was confined in Statesville jail; be sawed a
bar out of tb window , and. swung to the
ground by means of his blsnket, which he
tore in strips and tied together-1 -
How we have information by gentleman
just from Lenoir", of the escape of the other,
by an artifice which is not new, and which
b too often saccessfuL .fihad a wife who
was very much devoted ta him, and who
visited him frequently in prison and waa al
ways allowed aocesa to his oelL A few mora
ings ego, she called at the jail before day-
light and told the jailor that she was about
starting over to Alleghany ; that the jour
bey was a long one aadjths had started very
early because of this, and begged to be al
lowed to seejher husband Jot-fore she should i
go. The kind-hearted jailor a Imitted her

Calvary Mission Church and Its Paster.
Rev I C Thomas, who was appointed"!
the recent session of . the North Carolina
Conference to th pastoral ohare of the Cal
vary Mission Church, o1 this city, has found
it necessary, owing to failing health, to de
cline the appointment. Rev W H Bobbitt,
the Presiding Elder of the district, will, in a
short time, appint some one to supply the
vacancy.
It may be stated, in this connection, that
the name. "Second Methodist" by which
this church is sometimes known, was given
it without, authority, and improperly. It
is not, stri ;t'y speaking, a church; ; but is a
regu'ar mission, and stands on a mission
footing, being under the charge of the pas
tor of the Try on Street Church, and being
partially supported by an appropriation from
that church. The church council, at a re-
cent meeting, re-endorsed its old name, of
Calvary Mission Church, and expressed a de
Sire that it be so known in futare
PUNKRAL NOTICE.
The funeral services of Julia Stoney, will
take place from the Episcopil Church this
morning at 10 o'clock. The friends of the
family are invited to attend

POSTPONED.
ON account of continued press of business,
Dr Nye, Optician, has- determined to
protract his stay in Charlotte.-at the Central
Hotel, for another week, where he will con
tinue to represent bis world renowned
AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL SPECTACLES.
He especially manufactures LENSES" FOR
PRESERVING THE EYE SIGHT, designed
for the use of persons suffering from weak
eyes. (Opthalania) and particularly adapted
for the use of those who work much at
night by artificial light. He also' manufac
tures I en sea with faces of various colors
and tints, which are used by persons with
DEFECTIVE V18ION.
otten bpectacles called Pebble are offered
at cheap rates, but they prove disastrous to
the unfortunate purchaser, for the Crystal
from wnich these Lenses are made, are cut
at random in every direction, that will yield
the greatest quantity, hence they produce
lenses worce than useless, and do irrepara
ble mischief to tbe wearers. In . the -manu-turel
have adopted th Coscay- Cc-nvex
shape, so similar to the corneal lattieular ar
rangement to the eye, which allows a larger
field of vision nd collecting a greater num
ber of rays than is secured by ordinary
glasses. - -
Dr Nye begs to state that having for many
years made the adaptation of Spectacles and
Optical contrivances a special study, which
this profe-ioH demands, he fel himself
fully competent to meet Ihe requirements
of the most difficult cases.
Very Respectfully, ' S B NYE. .
Testimonial from every part bjf the coun
try can be sees on application.
