ZW The comet reached its perihelion or brightest point Sunday night. tW Now is the time for the festive rice Wrd to make its appearance. 53jStill warm, as the man said when the perspiration dropped on the pave ment and splattered his boots. 52rrho burglars in all probability have forgotten that one, Henry Home, colored, was hanged here last spring a year ago for burglary. E3" TJhe police were yesterday in search of a crazy white woman named Ann Ilawshaw, who escaped from the poor house Saturday. She is not dan gerous, however. ZW There was a man in town yester day with a matronly 'possum and four teen young ones, all as tame as well fed dogs. When the little 'possums would wander the man would whistle and snap his finger and they would come rolling, in the promptness and eager ness of their obedience. It was a funny thing to see. tW A gentleman yesterday told the reporter as a good item, that he had dis covered in looking over a calendar, that the year 'SI came in and went out on the same week day Sunday. After thinking a second he blushed and said, "of course," when asked if every year hut leap yearwas not guilty of the same extraordinary proceeding. Crushed TJuder a Load of Drick; An old negro man named Bill How ell, who drives a dray for Mr. Hannibal Edwards was run over yesterday by his dray loaded with bricks. The mules became frightened and made a dash throwing him under the wheels. He was seriously bruised, but no bones broken, and his injuries are by no means dangerous. The mules were easily stopped, not being able to run with the heavily loaded wagon. Typographical Errors. Our correspondent at Wrightsville Sound, below Wilmington, writes to say there were a number of typographical errors in the letter published from that place lately. If our correspondent will tell us how to avoid these blunders that sometimes mar the beauty of language, and distort ideas we will vote the said corresrondent a gold medal and a pen sion for life. Errors of the type and not of the heart, count only in a print ing office. Petition for Condemnation of Land for tuo Waterworks. The trade for the proposed site of the water-works on the Torrence lands near Little Sugar Creek not having been yet consummated, and there ap pearing little prospect for such con summation, the contractors will peti tion the county commissioners to con demn it for the works and appoint as sessors to declare its value. Steps were being taken yesterday in this direction by Maj. W. W. Flemming, counsel for the contractors. Fancy Dress Ball at Morehead. The Observer acknowledges with thanks, the compliment of an invita tion to a grand fancy dress ball at the Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, on the Goth and 31st of August On the com mittee of invitation from Charlotte are Messrs. Pride Jones and M. P. Pegram, Jr. Mr. E. F. Young is one of the managers, and Maj. Dowd, Gov. Vance and Col. J. L. Morehead are among the honorary managers. A peculiar fea ture of the ball i3 that it continues two nights, whether without intermission does not appear. IBUtory of King' Mountain S. Watson Reid, Esq, of Steel Creek, this county, has accepted the agency for i he sale of Dr. Lyman C. Draper's "History of King's Mountain, and its Heroes." The work commences with u history of the causes which led to the American Revolution j gives an au thentic history of the prominent Amer icans who were drawn into the contest, and concludes by giving a graphic de scription of the battle itself. The book is illustrated handsomely, on good pa lter, is beautifully bound, abounds in historical facts, and should be iu the library of every man who cares to know anything of his country's his tory. i 'die Festive Gnm-Sllngr. An Augusta colored woman's eye got in the way of a shot from a gum-sling the other day and now the woman uses, !md will henceforth use, only one eye. I Soys around Charlotte have been known to use such slings without that consideration for eyes which is calcula ted to make one feel like hugging the hoy who owns and uses the sling. Is theio not an ordinance against them here? But of course the way to do is to wait till somebody's eye gets put out 'ere, and then enforce it, because we are not disturbed by what happens in Augusta, and as there is much more room outside tharu inside of an eye most of the shots will of course hit something else. Personal. Mr. Egbert Harty has returned from New York where he has been at tending a pharmaceutical college. Rev. Dr. Lacy is again in the city having returned from a visit to his son llev.

HOBE BVBGLARIES, A Burglar Site Down to Bead Private Papers. The burglars are again up and doing. They got in some pretty nice work Sat urday night at the residence of Mr, Th03. Pope, who lives in Smithville. Three suits of clothes, a pair of boots, and everything eatable iu the house, were the results of the raid. From Mr. Pope's the robber or rob ber probably went to Mr. T. L. Alhxan aer s in the same neighborhood, for on that same night somebody -was heard inside Mr. Alexander's house, but was frightened away. Mr. R. H. Brown liv ing next door to Mr. Alexander, discov ered a window open next morning and on investigating found a quantity of ciothing missing. Sunday night Mrs. J. P. Thomas waked and discovered that a light which had been left burning in the room, was gone. She called her hus band, Col. Thomas, who got up, pistol in hand. When he reached the passage he saw a light burning in his study. He went to the door and looked in. Seated at the table, tlie lamp burning brightly, was a burlv nearro. his bank toward the door. He was quietly looking over Col. Thomas's private papers, and seemed so absorbed that he had not heard the ap- S roach of the Colonel, who stood at the oor, hesitating to shoot, inclined to believe from the very boldness of the intruder that it was not exactly a case of burglary at least not one in which the revolver should be used without ceremony. So the Colonel spoke. The negro jumped and as quick . as a shot was out at the open window. Colonel Thomas rushed after him and fired three shots ; the last as the figure of the man disappeared around the corner of the house. Nothing was missed in the house except one suit of .clothes, although the man had been to the din ing room and eaten a midnight supper. J? rom various disorders it was gathered that the thief had been through five rooms in the house. Some one suggested yesterday that this was a wet negro and that he was searching the Colonel's papers for a prohibition speech that he might des troy it. Col. Thomas says he would not be able to recognize the man as he did not see his face, although he could have shot him dead in his seat He did not do so, tearing that it was some one who belonged on the place. Improvements at the RudikllJ. The Rudisill mine is being vigorous ly worked under ie management of the present lessees, Messrs. Stewart ond McDowell. The mill is now run ning, and three Pomeroy concentrating tables, for saving the sulphurets and what gold the amalgamated plates do not take up, have been added. A fully equipped assay office has been added, and the work of the concentrators is carefully watched. The pump shaft has been sunk 65 feet, and a 250-foot level has been struck. The mine has also been enclosed with a 400-foot-square plank fence. The Chicago Ideal Jubilee Singers Again favored TnE Observer with a most delightful serenade last night. They are a company of five colored men and a woman who passed through Char lotte last Spring with the Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe. They left the troupe at Richmond and have been in Charlotte for about two weeks. Their voices are all remarkably fine and their singing is decidedlysuperior to anything of the kind we have heard. They are as they say now "on the make" and they will certainly give value received to any who may desire to employ them or attend their entertainments. A North Carolinian DlstiuguUlicd In Europe. Doctor Warren Bey, the well-known American physician in Paris, was a re presentative of the American Medical Association at the recent International Medical Congress which met this month in London. He is also a representatiye of the same association to other kin dred organizations throughout Europe. Dr. Warrerf4s a North Carolinian and was a distinguished surgeon in the Cenfederate army. He was a resident of Raleigh for a long while, but after the war removed to riaitimore, wuere he became famous. From Baltimore he went to Egypt, where, from a for tunate treatment of the Pasha during a severe illness, he received the title, Bey. I m I The Uig Show Coming. Iteuiinis- cence.

A Suggestion froui SfoW Orloan. AVe have Drob:iblv not yet tried the best ulan to cet the railroads to build a passenger depot worthy of the import ance of Charlotte as a railroad town. We tried begging but there was no re sponse; we tried wailing, but the soul- 1 .Tn-wni a Hiring rrof onirv for us; we tried bulldozing but the "doze" has not yet operated on the bull-headed railroads. There is still another plan which the New Orleans people and press have adopted to accomplish the same Duruose. The property owners in tne neiguuui hood of the proposed improvements have been invited to assemble and take "active steps," as the Democrat de . 1 1 i , scribes it. "Active 8teD3 proDaoiy means something in the nature of a consideration. How much property in mat portion of the citv where all the trains, except those of the Carolina Central, now stop would be ennanceu is not worm nrhiio tn attemnt to prove to reasonable would in all probability follow the erec tion of the depot, ana tne accumula tion of business and 'pleasure around hia nn ci aii would be such as to make if. in a short while the mostrdesirablB part of -the city. t is certain that pros perty would appreciate more wju InnnnK tn VialanAfl the amount Which would bK required to induce the rail roads to erect the depot la it not wor.h while to 'see about it," at least V KitiT.v ii.T.Twe tt:ls that afflict mankind ean be prevented and cured by keeping the sto mach, liver and kidneys in perfect working ffder.

Knight of Honoal Among our readers will be interested in knowing that the State Grand Lodge of this order meets in Raleigh to-day at 2 o'clock p. m. It is the only body in the State clothed . with power to legislate for the good of the order. The members are now paying the 86th assessment, and one assessment now pays sixty-seven death claims of $2000 each. These assessments average not far from one each month. The order numbers over one hundred and twenty thousand members. June 30, 1881, was their eighth anniversary. Vennor for the last of August "Vennor's forecast for the latter part of August is as follows: "Eighteenth, hailstorms and frosts probably in some portions; 19 th and 20th, heat and storms; 21st, sultry and showery; 22nd sultry and windy ; 23rd and 24th, heat and wind : 25th and 26th, heavy storms on the lakes, on the St Lawrence and around New York: 27th, 29th, cooler weather, with rains and frosts in the northern section ; 30th and 31st, fair and pleasant weather, with cool even ings and nights, with indications of re turning heat." Mayor's Court. At the mayor's court yesterday morn ing Robt. Beatty was fined $2.50 and costs for assault and battery on John Ozment. Ozment asked for a peace warrant, swearing he was afraid of Beatty, but the warrant was lefused at Ozment's cost. James Pethel, colored, was up for conducting his shaving business on Sunday. He appealed to the Inferior Court from a fine of $10 and costs. Sue Adams, an old Five Pointer, hav ing returned from exile,got very drunk, went to swearing and was fined $5 and costs. Douglas Grey, the negro whose wife from Thomasville came in with the ex cursionists Saturday and accused Grey of bigamy and of having forsaken her and five children, acknowledged the crime and was sent to jail for his ap pearance at the Superior Court. A Whiskey Case. The Inferior Court continued its sit tings yesterday, and one of the cases against'Mr. W. R. Cocorane occupied its attention throughout the day. Mr. John Means testified that Mr. W. R. Cochrane had- sold a drink. After elaborate arguments of counsel to the jury and-the justice, on the question as to whether Mr. Cochrane was bound to have license immediately from the county commissioners, as to whether the old board of aldermen were the legislatve power of the city when the prohibition ordinances were passed ard whether they had the right to revoke the city license which Cochrane had. Justice Waring quietly charged the ju ry that the license from the commis sioners was necessary; that the old board was acting legally and that they had the power to revoke the city li cense. In conclusion he charged that if the' jury believed Mr. John Means who testified to the spirits having been sold, that Mr. Cochrane was guilty. The jury was hung last night and will probably be hung this morning, At least that was the impression of a large number of citizens who know the ju ry. A Young Lawyer Charged with For gery. Richmond Dispatch. Some davs aeo, upon the return of the Commonwealth's Attorney to the city, his attention was called by one of the gentlemen whose name had been used to some forgeries committed by Percy L. Carrington, a young lawyer of this city. Upon his complaint Mr. Witt began inquiries, and 13 now about to institute proceedings against Car rington, charging him with forging a check purporting to have been drawn by tieorge P. Haw, and for passing tne same upon Thos. J. Starke, and there by obtaining twenty-five dollars. Since inquiries have been made oth er, forgeries have come to light. Among them is a check for $25, drawn on the State Bank, payable to the order of Percy L. Carrington, attorney, and signed by E. G. Leigh & Co., and en dorsed by Leigh & Lathrop and Percy L. Carrington, attorney, it is said that Mr. Carrington was indebted to a party in the city to the amount of $15, and gave this check in payment and re ceived $10 in cash. This check was passed on Mr.Farrara, who passed it to Mr. Francis Dusch, who deposited it in the First National Bank. The book keeper in the bank, as soon as he saw the check, was satisfied that the signa ture of Lathrop & Leigh was a forgery, and before sending the check over to the State Bank for collection, took it to Messrs. Lathrop & Leigh, who at once pronounced it a forgery. 1 oung (jarrington lett tne city aDout two weeks ago. He was last beard of n North Carolina.
