Sylvanus Cobb thus writes In the Boston Christian Freeman: We would by no means re commend any kind of medicine which we did not know to be good particularly for Infants. But of Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothln? Syrup we can speak from knowledge; In our own family It has proved a blessing Indeed, by glvln g an Infant troubled with colic pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unknown rest at night Most parents can appreciate these blessings. Here Is an article which works to per fection, and which Is harmless; for the sleep which It affords the Infant Is perfectly natural, and ithe little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." And during the process of teething, its value Is Incalculable. We have frequently heard mothers say they would not be without It from the birth of the child till it had finished with the teething siege, on any consideration whatever.

H3TThe masque ball given at the Central last night, by the bachelors of the city, was largely attended and finely enjoyd. tSThe Baptist congregation of this city has tendered Rev. J. E.

A long way to go for grass, with as much waste land lying around as can be seen in this county. E"The coal-burning engines on the yarxU in the city continue to be a source of great annoyance to people living in localities adjacent to the yards. If it is impossible Lo modify the noise made by them, we should like to ba informed of the fact, as the opinion prevails with many that it is an unnecessary "attachment," and for this reason com plain about it. RlKyot Court. Eliza Foster, a well known wo man, was up yesterday morning for obscenity and profapity. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed, from which an appeal was taken to the Inferior Court. Ed Sparklin and John Ramseur, for a racket over a game of cards, were called on to ante to the extent of $17.50 Sparklin $10 and costs and Ramseur $5 and costs. To be Removed. It is understood that the ticket and telegraph offices at the', Air Line depot in this city will soon be removed to the opposite aide of the railroad from where they are now located. It has also been stated that the waiting room will be abolished when the move is made, but this we are not inclined to believe, but make the statement that it may be cor rected if false. An Ecape and a. Cbawe. Some time ago a negro was reported to the police for having committed some little disturbance at one of the colored churches in the city, and yes terday evening Policeman Farrington came u) with him and took him in chargn. The negro said he could give bail, and was taken into a store for that purpose, when he suddenly made a dash for the street and liberty. Far rington at once dropped into the spirit of the affair, and after putting in his best work for four or five miles, re turned to the city without his man. Several others joined in the race after the pair reached the country, but the new recruits seemed only to arouse the darkey to a smse of his duty in the matter, and after giving his pursuers all the exercise they wanted, turned into the- woods and disappeared from sight. He could have been shot and captured, but his offense was not of sufficient gravity to wairant such a course. A Broken Nose, Evidently. If it were true, as has been recklessly asserted, that the "average random par agrapher" "often furnishes a port hole through which the edrtor can throw his pellets at the public with impunity," it is certainly true, in these latter days, that some editors often palm off on the public editorials as their own which they never wrote, but which were writ ten by outsiders. The man who lives in a glass house had better not throw rocks or allow others to do it at his in stance. Home and Democrat The man who occupies the supposed glass house had nothing to do with throwing the stone, and if a nose has been broken the fact only proves the assertion. So far as the editorial wn- ing is concerned, the Home and Dem ocrat is a little 'off," if it has reference o TnE Observer. The editor no doubt thinks he has a good case, but he can have the privilege of naming a few of the editorials, or just one, for that matter, that have been written by "out siders," and he shall have a new paste pot as a reward for his acuteness. Knights of the Golden It (lie. The announcement has heretofore been made of the establishment in this city of a Castle of the Knights of the Golden Rule, and a3 it is the first insti tuted in the State, it may not be amiss to give an outline of its workings, ob- jacts and benefits. It i3 an assurance association, differing somewhat from any others which have been offered to the public of late years, and, in our opinion, possesses advantages not to be had in the various other beneficiary as sociations. The total amount of assurance given is $6,500, divided into iour classes, ranging from $500 to $2,900. A mem ber taking but one class, say the third, for $2,000, is only liable to assessments for deaths occurring in the third class, and so on through the whole series of classes. By taking the entire number of classes a person becomes liable to assessment for a death in any one of them. The cost is the least that a sim ilar amount of assurance can be car ried at in any organization of which we know, and while in other similar or ganizations the man of 50 years is placed on the same footing with one of 25, it is not so in this, but at the same time he is on an equal footing with the balance. The Castle-iinstituted here has every prospect of becoming a most successful one, and for the information of those who contemplate entering it, we will state that the charter will be kept open until the first day of March, in order to allow all that wish to enter, to do so as charter members. The cost of becom ing a member before the oharter is closed will be comparatively small, but after the date specified an entrance fee will be fixed, which will no doubt be fully double what it is at present Theor.h r offers the best and cheap est mode of assurance to the mechanic that can be obtained, and it may be of advantage to this class to give the mat- gome investigation.

Sbonld be Looked After Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock some of the citizens living in the First ward were disturbed by a general Satan-raising somewhere in the neighbor hood of Eighth street, south of. the rail road. It is stated that the racket oc curred in a negro bagnio in that neigh borhood, and was caused by white men and negroes coming in conflict, when a free fight ensued. The women added to the affair by screaming "help" and "murder," and making all the noise possible. If any arrests have been made we are not advised of the fact, and it is very likely that the police have failed to hear of the disturbance. A similar oc currence took place in another locality a few nights ago in which several young white men were said to be en gaged. i i Tbe Chamber of Commerce. In a quiet, business-like way the Charlotte Chamber of commerce is capable of doing much good, and its sphere of usefulness, we are glad to say, is becoming enlarged as it grows in age. As an evidence of what it is willing to undertake the following res olutions, ordered to be published, as the proceedings of last night's meeting, are cases in point: Resolved, That the chamber of com merce of the city of Charlotte, N. C, representing as it believes it does, all the great business interests of this city and section of country, most cordially renews its appeal and memorial as here tofore made for an appropriation by Congress for a suitable building to be erected in this place for a Federal court house and postoffice, and respect fully and unanimously endorse the bill lately introduced by our immediate rep resentative for that purpose. Whereas, The deplorable state of the sidewalks and streets of tbe city of Charlotte call for prompt measures for the improvement of both ; and as our citizens are too much scattered and oc cupied with their own affairs to take any consolidated action in the premises even for their own benefit ; be it there fore, Resolved, That this chamber of com merce respectfully call to the notice of the mayor and aldermen the shocking condition of our thoroughfares, and ask them to submit at an early day for the consideration of the taxpayers the best and cheapest mode of commencing the improvement of them and keeping them ever after in good repair. The animus of both resolutions was discussed at length by a number of the gentlemen present, and as a result we hope to see that healthy and progressive spirit, which exists among the members of the chamber, permeate the public until reform shall become a reality in stead of an idea. Comparative Cotton SiateraMt. Below will be found a statement of the number of bales of cotton sold in the Charlotte market since the begin ning of the present cotton season Sep tember 1st. The statement of last year's cotton business for the same period is also given, in order that a comparison may be had of the business, and to show the difference in the receipts for the respective years. The following are the figures for the present season: September 1,956 bales October 4,708 " November 6,887 " December 5,470 " January 2,087 " Total bales 21,108 The receipts at this place last season for the same months were as follows : September 9,208 bales. October 13,772 November 7,033 " December 6,287 " January 2,047 " Total bales 39,207 So far this season the receipts are be hind last year's 18,099 bales, or nearly 50 percent. There are at present stored in the warehouses of the city, not included in the receipts given above, about 3,000 bales, and estimates have been given as to the amount of the crop in farmers' hands, which range from 20 to 33 per cent of the crop of the county. Put ting the figures at 25 per .cent:, the amount still heldby farmers will bring the total up to something like 29,000 bales. But little cotton was brought to market during last month, the greater part of the sales being made from the warehouses in the city. There is little doubt that, had the roads been in a con dition to enable the farmers t get to market, the entire crop would now be disposed of. Col, Sellers Wins a Race. Some splendid horse racing has been going on at the Charleston race-course this week, and by the News and Cour ier's report it is seen that Col. Sellers, the property of Mr. Bennett Barnes, of this city, won the selling race on Wednesday, purse $150. Six good run ners entered the race, the auction pools, in which large money was invest ed, selling at the following figures : Cape Clear $25 $50 Col. Sellers 22 40 Keno. 16 30 Helen Wallace 17 35 Field 6 10 incr fnr positions the mare won the track and the favorite the out side, with Sellers No. 3, Montague 2, and V agaoona ana jveno m iue oruer named. They were sent off without much trouble, Keno leading the race pushed closely by the mare, and the F oTTrt-rUa hrinonntr nn the rear. At the XCTVAAVW "r O r finish of the first eight Sellers showed in front with Montague nanging on nis flank and the favorite still in the rear. Before turning down the first quarter, however, the favorite pushed up to the front ana naa a snarp urusn wim abuu, Sellers for the lead. At tbe half mile post all six were well together, but af ter that the race began to string, and when the horses turned into the home stretch for the finish it looked very much like Keno had the race. He came up with hands down, while the others were under heavy whippings. The little chestnut Col. Sellers at the last moment made a desperate effort for the lead and won it passing under the string winner of the race, actually wrenching it from Cape Clear and Keno, who were nose and nose pound ing on for second money, and who passed under the string so nearly to gether that many persons were of the opinion that it was a dead heat between the two until the decision of the judges gave Cape Clear second money. Helen Wallace was fourth, Vagabond fifth, and Montague, true to his traditions, a half dozen lengths in the rear. Time 2.06. THE FAN DRIIX. Our Entertainment on last Friday eve Gave pleasure to all, who were there I believe. The audience large, was well amused And some it seems were Quite enthused. The "Auction Flay" was scene the first, And of the whole, that was. the worst, The auctioneer, with hammer up-raised. His goods and chattels much he praised, "Who bids for these, my little ones bright, I must dispose of an to-night," 'Til take the children,'' Fashion cried. As she step'd forth In conscious pride, "And teach them Life is lrrldescent, With Fashion's folly evanescent" Ambition speaks, Oh! hear him cry, "Give me the children, all; and I Will mount with them the heights of Fame, And each shall there Inscribe his name." Infidelity, Intemperance, and Crime follow fast; The auctioneer stands aghast, At this array of vice and sin, Who wait to take the children In. 'Is there none to save, ohl tell me who Will save them from this horrid crew. Shame, shame, that you should idle be And to this sacrifice agree." "I bid, sir, for I canteaeh T here are greater things that they can reach; I'll explore with them, the land and sea. For I alone have the Golden Key Of Knowledge 'tls Education's call.) Give me the children, one and all." Another bid; how changed the scene, As Religion comes forth with stately mien, "I'll take them, and will lead their feet Along green fields and pasture sweet; Will train their minds to look above, And strive to reach that World of Love." "Take them Religion, all are thine, None can resist the voice divine." And to Religion's Cross and Crown, The Auctioneer knocks them down. Next on the boards, comes verse and song, And meets applause, both loud and long. But to give to each the credit due, We must keep the programme well in view. The Duet, by Hisses F. and G. Was Just as sweet as it could be. When "Life is Brightest," can they not tell, Who sang the pretty song so well. They were followed then by Carrie C Who recites so very prettily; And loud applause she well did win, As she told the Legend of the Jessamine. Then a lovely song, of a Woman's Heart; Oh! well, we'll Just pass over that part, And glad are we all, to give the honor, To Minnie J, our Prima Donna, May the flowers of Love around her twine, And the sunshine of Peace adorn her mind. "Banish, Oh! Maiden," was splendidly rendered, And to the "Quartette" our thanks are tendered. But how could they sing, when each had laden With sorrow the heart of some little maiden. Next honorable mention should be made, Of that most charming "8erena4e," For music sweet, who can out-rank, Lulu the fair, and gallant Frank? The Polish Boy was a grand success, Which proves Miss Lulu a good actress; And the dear little girl, did so well her part, She shall have a comer in every heart. Our songstress now, comes on again, Assisted by the blushing Jane; Sister In Love, they each disclose The sweets of the Lilly and of the Rose. A prelude now while all are still, We'll Introduce, the great Fan Drill; In this we know each one did well; When all are perfect, none exceL With bows, and waves, and many a flutter, The Drill was Just too utterly utter. And now before we leave the ranks, To Mrs. McSmlth and Jones are due our thanks. May they always meet with such success, And have long life and happiness. Charlotte, N. C, January 31st, 1882. NOTICE.
