It is said that there was a very large increase in the colored vote in the last ejections for the Democrats in Virginia and Maryland, in conse quence of the threat of John Sherman to reduce Southern representation in Congress and in the electoral college, unless the negro vote could be here-i after controiledjpy the Republican party. A number of doubtful coun ties in Maryland were carried for the Democrats against the Republicans and Independents by the colored vote, which in previous elections had been cast against the Democrats. It was so also in Virginia. Intelligent cplored men who keep trace of cur rent events on the political stage, felt that ShermanTs attempt to lay claim to the proprietorship of the colored vote ought to Jte rebuked, and pro ceeded to rebuke it. , Practically srvcrking his proposed mode of pro cequre would amount, to a legal dis franchisement of the colored man, pleading 5 in justiflcation that he is .now illegally disfranchised. In other words he would: do under pretext of the law what he condemns the South era Democrats for doing in spite of the law 'Sum', it 'up, thisis what John Sherman would dOj and it seems there were some colored men in the country with sagacity enough to see through his game, dherman, , how ever, did not anticipate tn rsjiiti and - will doubtless, when the next Congress meets, takepcsji6njt6ie' more or less at the fir?pppojrtinity. Now, perhaps, he will be more axious than ever to see the colored man de prived of the ballotj since that ballot can be no longer counted on for the Republicans, but goes to the . Demo crats to help lay out Sherman and the other bloody shirters. WGEI Gents Fine Silk Stiff and Soft Hats. ALMA POLISH and BUTTON'S RAVEN GLOSS DRESSING for Ladies' and Childrens' Shoes. Will Co.

In business circles Frank Gray was a conspicuous and success ful figure for two years, while Mrs.. Mary B. Wolcott was a leading figure in social circles. A sensation was caused by the recent discovery that Frank Gray and Mary Wolcott were one and the same person successfully playing the role of man in the busis ness world and woman in the social circle. She adopted male attire be cause, she said, it enabled her the bet t3r, to struggle in the battle of life, in which she seems to have been able to take her own part, and amassed con-, siderable property. One of the re sults, however, of her male attire, was a suit for divorce entered some time ago by a jealous husband who didn't fancy his wife's apparent fond ness for Frank Gray . Evangelist Moody is making vigor ous war on a custom which prevails in some portions of the North of se lecting a pretty girl at church fairs and putting her up to be kissed by the miscellaneous multitude who are willing to pay twenty-five cents a kiss. This is an abuse of beauty for which there is no defense. Churches that have to be cared for in that way had better go to wreck. FINE BUGGIES AND PHAETONS. LARGE , AND Elegant Variety! NOW ON HAND.

C- The coffee and sugar planters of Mexico are offering a bounty of $25 each for Chinese laborers. There is an opening for the Pacific Chinese exterminators. They can trap the Chinamen, ship .'em to Mexico, and thus get rid of them without killing them; and rake in some lucre at the same time. There are no insane asylums in Chi na, but that is no proof that there are no insane people there. The Chinese, however, have a habit of taking life so easy that the probabilities are that their, number of insane is very small compared with nations whose people live faster and more excited lives. A Virginia farmer up near the Pb tomac has found some very fine straw berries on his vines within the past week, fully matured. , Tbe old folks say this is an unfailing sign of a cold winter and lots of snow. .

R R has a fine half setter and sheDDard doe. named Joe, that while being one of the most amiable and intelligent dogs that we ever saw, has lor the past two months been possessed with the I crazy idea that he can catch his sha- dow. All day long, and on moon light: nights he flies after it, often, rolling over and oyer trying to catch n. He rarely ever stops, except from exhaustion or unless he gets another dog or some person to frolic with. Does any one else know of a case of this kind? Wilmington Review: Mr. C. J. Gause, of Shallotte township, Bruns wick county, has on exhibition at No 11, South Front street, a mammoth saw fish. It was thirteen feet long when first caught, and weighed about 600 pounds. The saw is three feet and a half long; and is a fearful look. mg weapon. Such: fish are seldom seen i in these waters, and we had much rather see them dead than when alive. ' The fish in question was caught at Bland's fishery, on Gause's Beach, Brunswick county, and has been stuffed and preserved for exhi bition. Asheville Advance:, One of the most: important case? pending for trial at this term of the Federal court is an indictment against Deputy Mar- snai, vvmiam uiapp ot Micneii coun tyj who is charged with .shooting a negro. Tne defendant was indicted in the Superior .court of Michell coun ty, uut upon nis motion an amnavic. alleging that the act was committed in ine aiscnarge or nis auues as a government officer the case was transferred to! the Federal ; court The question involved in the case, is whether or not the defendant used excessive force in making the arrest. Mis attorneys are Messrs. Malone & Brownman. A Case of Desertion. Salisbury Watchman. It is an old saying: "Marry in haste and repent in leisure," and how often in life is the truth of the I sayings .QDsersecL jejos, . yernon, something or an itinerant phrenolo gist, a travelled Englishman took up a temporary abode in Davie coun ty, in the "Fork country," and fins ally persuaded Miss Mary Hendrix, one of the young ladies of the neigh borhood, to marry him. Last week they .started off together and at u-reensooro, vernon iert nis wire, as he said, to return to Salisbury to col lect some money. When she next heard from bim, he was in Goldsboro and wrote to the effect that "about the best thing she could do was to go back to her lather." Her father mel; her here a few days since and took her home. He, unworthy wretch, is stealing off probably to entice some other confiding woman to a like fate. Mr. Hendrix, who is a well-todo farmer, feels much outraged that such villainy should be practiced on a member of his family. His neighbors are also indignant. A Soldier for Politics -Largely. New York Tribune. . General Phil Sheridan thought that General McClellan should have had a military funeral. He said that the absence of either sword or flag from the coffin made him feel that "Little Mac" was not getting a soldier's des erts. I understand that the funeral was in accordance with Gen. McClel lan's. wishes. A reminiscence of 1864 was recalled to me by a remark of Sheridan. He said: "I fought in the valley- whip McClellan and to elect Lincoln, which is the nearest ! ever came to participating in politics." It was Sheridan's victory over Early that turned the tide in the Presiden tial election of that year, which had been setting in favor of McClellan up to that time. nn ma i Are making their promise good by explaining the cause of THt U -'USUAL REDUCTIONS offered by them last week, and the many lines of goods, which are yet o be run out &t really reduced prices, ' we S4E mmmm wie So far this Season, but exneeted to do better. bought heavier than we usually buy, thereby causing an accumulation of goods, or a .

The present administration favors the suspension of the coinage of stan dard silver dollars, but it also favors the enforcement of the coinage act in letter and spirit as long as it remains on the statute books. The result of this loyalty to the act as it stands has been to increase materially the amount of silver in circulation. The amount of standard dollars in circu lation on June 30 of the present year was $38,500,000. The amount out standing todav is, in round numbers, $48,500,000. This increase of $10,000, 000 has beeen added to by a net in", crease of $2,900,000 in the amount of fractional silver put in circulation. since June 1, 1885.
