There were eight coffee drummers on the town yesterday. A large party of preachers passed through ihe city yesterday on their way to Statesviile, where Conference meets to morrow. The next court is the Federal, and it will be convened on the third Monday in December by Judge Dick. There are some big cases to come up before it. The absence of our telegraphic stock report this morning is du to the fact that yesterday was holiday in New York. Mr. C. E. Gray requests us to state that all who desire to join his guitar class will meet him to-night at S o'clock n the band room. Christmas cakes are going to be rare delicacies in this community unless there's a drop in the price of hen fruit. Eggs now sell at 35 cents per dozen. Hon. D. B. Eaton, the civil service commissioner, who has been holding the examinations in Raleigh, spent Sun day'in the city at the Central Hotel. He has gone to Columbia. Only two days to Thanksgiving, and yet no movement has been made to wards securing a suspension of business in the city The dollar is a thundering big thing in Charlotte. Lawyers W. M. Smith and H. S. Puryear. of Concord, passed through yesterday for Texas. They go out there for a little '"bar" hunting and duck shooting. They will be gone for a month or more. The next time we venture a weath er prediction, people will believe us. Three weeks ago we told our readers that this wet spell was due from Nov. 20 to 26, and the prediction has scored a success. Col. A. M. Waddell arrived in the city yesterday and will remain a few days. He worked faithfully and well in the campaign recently closed in Skinner's district and the Eastern pa pers have many kind words to say about him. Miss Maggie L. Garrison, daughter of Mr. David B. Garrison, died at her father's residence on 6th street Sunday night, of consumption. She was 21 years of ag. Her remains will be in terred to-day at noon, at Mallard oreeK church. -Mrs. A. J. Ury, an esteemed lady of Concord, died at her home in that town Sunday night of consumption. Her husband died about two years ago of pneumonia, and an interesting circle of children are left orphans. A youDg colored boy named Fayette Wilson, was yesterday committed to' jail by Esq. H. C. Severs, on charge of corn stealing. It will take the Inferior court about fifteen minutes to pass on his case and check him to Raleigh. The exodus for the West still con tinues. Yesterday a party of about V8 emigrants from Mecklenburg and Ire dell counties took the tram in this city for Kansas. Since November 1st, about 80 families have gone West from this section. Joe Caldwell, the darkey who was arrested Saturday for stealing a barrel of pickled hog's feet from Ben Barnett, was sent up to the interior (Jourt by the mayor yesterday morning. H. W. Howard wa3 fined o tor drunkenness, and another case was continued to this morning for trial. Bishop Northrop preached in the Catholic church at Laurinburg Sunday and at the close of the service confirmed three persons. The confirmation servi ces were witnessed by a large congrega tion, among whom were many Protes tants. Bishop Northrop came up w ith Capt. Jim Trimble yesterday and will be in the city several days. Opprn House l,awt Night. "The World" was presented for the second time before a Charlotte audience at the opera house lasttfiight, and was received possibly more enthusiastically than on the first night. The scenery was enioyed with the same delight manifested on the first occasion, when some of the audience rose to their feet to watch the ship going down. The acting is secondary, but for a real first-class spectacular show "The World" carries off the palm. We be lieve it would get another good houee in Charlotte. The Mick Man Found. The item in Sunday's paper relative to the inquiry of Mr. J. C. Saxon, of Gainesville, Ga., for his brother James Saxon, who was supposed to be dan gerously ill in Charlotte, but who could not be found by the police, had the de sired effect, and information was yes terday given to chief Harrison of the sick man. He married and lives in Charlotte and is lying at his home dangerously pick with hemmorhage of the lungs. His wife saw the paragraph in the Ob server and was thus put in communica tion with his brother. Off for Conference. Revs. J. T. Bagwell and W. 8. Haltom will leave this evening for tne uonter ence at Statesville. Mr. Bagwell last Sunday finished his three years service as pastor of Tryon street Methodist church in this city, and on Sunday night preached his last sermon before Confer ence to a large congregation. Mr. Bag well has served his charge faithfully and has given satisfaction to all. As the Conference limit will, allow him one more year in Charlotte, his congregation entertain the hope that he will be re turned to them. Bishop Keener will preside over the Conference and will convene the body to-morrow. It promises to be very large ly attended, and Its daily sessions will be fraught with interest to the Church throughout tho State. r Why suffer with Malaria?

Seven Days of Good Woik Wound 7p in Passing Sentences Upon Evil Do ers Two Prisoners lor the Peniten tentiary and Nine tor the Jail. MJokUnK t6rm f the lQferior court for Mecklenburg was adjourned yesterday afternoon after seven full days of hard ork, during which a large amount of business was transacted, and stern jus tice was meted out to a large number ?,,i emJig, one8- lhe solicitor and judges of this court ha- e gained a rep utation for hard workers, and their manner of dispatching business has al ways been admired by the people, iesterday was sentencing day in the court, but in the meantime the docket was cleared of the following cases State vs, Allen Phifer, larceny of policeman Hunter's cotton. Guilty. State vs. James King, assault and bat- icijr. jruuiy. State vs, Allen Roan, assault and bat tery. Guilty. The judges passed sentence upon con victed parties as follows: For larceny Robert Hasty, two years in the county jail; John Morris, six years in the peni tentiary; Pleasant Davis, one year"'in jail; Perry Kennedy, three months"in jail; Nathan Martin, four months in jail; Harry Haines, four months in jail; Jim Banks, for stealing the celebrated game chicken, "Ethan Allen," four months in jail: Alex Phifer, two years in jail.

After the sentences were passed, court was declared adjourned. A Fever Stricken Household. Mr. D. P. McKinnon, one of Robeson county's wealthiest men, as well as one of her best citizens, has recently passed under the rod of affliction, losing his wife and two oldest children within a short time by typhoid fever. Mr. Mc Kinnon's wife died some weeks ago, and on last Monday his oldest daughter, Miss Cattie, a charming young lady entering her 21st year was called to meet her sainted "mother. The next day (Tuesday) Mr. McKiDnon's son, aged seven years, followed his sister to the grave. The two children had been sick for a number of weeks, and we un derstand the disease is still raging in Mr. McKinnon 's family. He has sev eral children left, all of young and ten der yers. Mr. McKinnon lives at Plain View, Robeson county, and is well known throughout this section of the State. He is a brother of Rev. L. Mc Kinnon, late of Concord, but now of Columbia. The story of his deep afflic tions is enough to make the human heart bleed in sympathy for him. Truly there can be but one comforter for the bereaved husband and father, and that is Him who chasteneth whom he loveth. Missed the Birdsbsit Brought Down his Companion. Two young men, Pink and Joe King, who are of the same name but no rela tion, were out hunting near the city last Saturday evening, when Pink accident ally filled Joe's head and shoulders with shot. Pink had just shot a rabbit and Joe ran forward to pick it up. As he did so a covey of birds flew up between himself and Pink, and Pink fired at the birds, missing every feather, but bring ing down Joe. The full charge -f shot struck the unfortunate fellow on the head and shoulders and wounded him grievously though not fatally. The wounds on his head are the most serious, and it is feared that one eye is shot out The affair was acci dental, but mainly resulted through carelessness. Pink is a son of Constable King. This is the same affair that was reported in Sunday's Observer, being a little more correct than the report given by the frightened messenger who lost his wits on his way to the city Saturday night to summon voung King's father and got Clarke Hall's son mixed up in the case. Shooting: at a lturglar---The Outrage at Mrs. GiftordV. Residents on Eighth street, near the corner of C, were startled by a pistol shot followed by the sounds of fleeing feet, at a late hour S iturday night. It was afterwards ascertained that the shot had been fired by Mr. A. L. Walsch, whose slumbers-had been disturbed by a burglar. The burglar had raised a window to Mr. Walsch s house, but while trying to climb into it, slipped and falling back made a noise that alarmed Mr Walsch. Just as Mr. Walsch got to the window he saw the burglar run ning away and fii ed at him, but missed his aim, or failed to bring down the man. He was not disturbed during the remainder of the night. Nothing has tince been heard of the two men who assaulted Mrs. Gifford Saturday night, as mentioned in Sun day's Observer. Mrs. Gifford suffered terribly from nervous prostration and for a time her condition was critical. The police are in possession of full de scriptions of the parties and are on the lookout lor them. A tiood Treasurer. " Yesterday Capt. S. E. Belk, our coun ty treasurer, was busy in his office pay ing off the jurors as fast as they could present their tickets to him. Satur lay and yesterday together he paid off seventeen grand jurors and their officer, seven regular jurors and fifty-two talis jurors. This promptness on the part of the treasurer in attending to the wants of the jurors is duly appreciated by them. Capt Belk has always proven himself accommodating to a fault, and in general efficiency, no county in the State possesses a treasurer who can sur pass him. The (Catholic Church Fair. All day yesterday the ladies of the Catholic church were busily engaged decorating the interior of Oates'Hall and arranging it for the fair which is to commence to-night. Two bands of mu sic, the brass band and the Italian harpers, will be on hand to enliven.the occasion with music. The ladies have received a quantity of goods from friends in the large cities and it will be the biggest thing in the way of a church fair ever held in Charlotte. The fair will continue through Friday night, but all should attend the opening this even ing. Death ot Rev. W. B. Pressley. A telegram was received in this city yesterdav from Statesville annoucing the death in that place of Rov. W. B. Pressley, of the Associate Reformed church. The telegram gave no particu lars but Mr. Pressley 's death must have been unexpected, as none of his friends here knew that he was seriously ill. The deceased is widely known through .... .u;, nfmn nf the cnuntrv and has many intimate friends in Charlotte,. by whom the news oi nis aeaui win w re ceived with genuine sorrow. We have since learned that Mr Press ley's death was caused by heart disease. t T7"l in tn ropivA uiara ijouioo i"uv6S - ; - Paris 600 a night!

GORDON FOR It AM) A LI . lie Believes Thai the Kit ction of Kmi dall will be lhe lt-t I biug tor ihe Democratic Party. ' Eon t annul J. HantJull. Woxlingtm, D 'V "My Dear Mr. Randall: I should have answered your first letter be fore now for the great pressure on my time. I only spent it few hours in Washington, every moment of which was occupied in railroad mat ters. 1 should be very glad to be in Washington during the first days of the session. As stated to Judge Har ris, and I believe to you, t don't agree with your policy in reference to the tariff, and on that account would, un der other circumstances, while feel ing the warmest personal friendship for you, probably oppose your elec tion and do what 1 could for my friend Carlisle or some one else whose views would more perfectly accord with my own upon that question. "I would be glad, however, to see you elected Speaker on the sole ground that I believe it best for the future of the Democratic party. "I cannot discuss the reasons which force me to this conclusion in the space of a short letter. "I must, therefore, contenl myself with saying that I do not believe the Democratic party can win a victory in the next Presidential contest unless it can hold the confidence and com mand the support of the business public. Right or wrong the impres sion prevails throughout business cir cles, in my opinion, that any radical change in the tariff at prtsent would be detrimental to our Nati )nal pro gress and prosperity. ' 'The question of a tariff for reve nue or for protection or of free trade is not one which requires immediate or even speedy solution. It is a ques tion whtch may safely be deferred until after the next Presidential con test. Indeed the policy of a govern ment upon the great question is one which all men, whatever maj be their opinion upon this subject, ought to be ready to weigh with great delib eration, and settle finally on conserv ative lines. "While I am theoretically a tariff man for revenue only, I would not, if I had the entire power in my own hands, make radical and sudden changes. A few ears are as nothing in the lifetime oi tne government ana I do not see the necessity for endan gering the success of our party in a great contest only one year hence in order to inaugurate a cnange oi pou cy in one House while we have no Sower to enforce the decrees of that Louse in the Senate or with the Ex ecutive. Especially do I consider it unwise at this time to make such an attempt in view of what I have already said in reference to the opin ions of that very strong class whom I denominate business people. "For these reasons, having many others which I wish I had time to de velope, I hope to see you elected Speaker. STou are at liberty, if you see proper, to show this to any of my friends, if, in your judgment, my opinions would be worth anything with them. Yours truly, "J. B. Gordon." Mothers Don't Know. How many children are punished for being un couth, willful and indifferent to instruc tions or rewards, simply because they are out of health!

THOS. G. KNOX. Soa hern Florida. J Aew OrJeant Timex-Temccrot. , The letter or (Japt. uiakeney. irom Kissimmee City, Fla., published in our issue of yesterday, will act as a sort of introduction to the story the Times Democrat's Everglades expedi tion will tell, should it escape the dangers of the great Florida swamp and reach civilization again. This letter gives a most graphic account of the wonders and dangers of Southern Florida, and vividly pictures to. the reader that unknown region, where guavas, cocoanuts, mangoes, citrons and grape fruit grow, and where im mense nests of dangerous vipers, moccasins and cottonniuuths abound. This country is wholly uninhabit ed, difficult to traverse, because it is nothing but mud and water, and still contains a numtier of wild and dan gerous Indians; but, at the same time as our correspondent shows, it is rich and fertile and well adapted for every variety of tropical fruit. It is indeed a region to attract settlers, when it shall have been drained and reclaim ed. The scenery is as fine as any in the country, a series of lakes and streams and woodlands, with silver springs bubbling up everywhere; the land is fertile, while the woods are so . full of game, and the rivers of fish, that the finest and fattest wild turk eys go a-begging aad the best trout are given away. But wild and uninhabited as is tl is rf gion now, it will not long be so. In the very heart of this wilderness, our correspondent found the dredgeboats of the company engaged in draining briskly at work. Their work so far has been wonderfully successful, and the land is rapidly being drained and rendered suitable for agricultural purposes. It is attracting the atten tion of the world, as a possible field for many agricultural enterprises, for the production of tropical fruits, of winter vegetables, and of sugar cane. bes'i ii ak i:gi ioni)i:it. Interesting' TrsN 5IaI y Gorernmriit 'Ii'iiiii. Dr. Edward G. Love, the present An alytical Chemist for the government, has recently made some interesting ex periments as to the comparative value of baking powders. Dr. Love's tests were made to determine what brands are the most sconomical to use, and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests we'e directed solely to as certain the available gas of each pow der. Dr. Love's report gives the follow ing: Strength Name of the Cubic Inches Gas Baking Powders, per ounce of Powder.

Phosphate and tartaric acid powders liberate theit gas too freely in process of baking, or un der varying climate changes suffer de terioration." Dr. H. A. Mott, the former govern ment chemist, after a careful and elabo rate examination of the various baking powders of commerce, reported to the government in favor of the Royal brand.

Physicians re commend it. m Rossidali' for Rheumatism. Messrs. H. Peck & Son. of Streetsboro, O., write us, June 5.1882: "Why do you not advertise Rosadalis for inflam matory rheumatism? It is doing won drs here in curing the disease." Well, we do advertise it to cure rheumatism, as any one can see by reading our cir cular. It is a splendid blood medicine, and it reaches the very root and seat of disease by being1 conveyed through the blood. Druggists, leading physicians and citizens of the highest standing unite in commendation of Rosadalis. Cravens & Co., druggists, at Gordon s ville, Va., say Rosadalis never has failed to give satisfaction. Samuel G. McFadden, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, says Rosadalis cured him of rheumatism when all else failed. Iv Wife's fi vou AUVrtion.
