Beholden," or "Much beholden ti you," ia the latest for "thank you." ihe Anglo-maniacs say its quite o rect Freddy Gebhardt came over from e on last week s steamer, and Mrs. Xianirtrv oomea on this week's. Wonder if that was by accident or ' de signer --The Philadelphia Times says there are eight women physicians in that city who have an annual praotiee each of $20,000. That's a pretty big story but we hope it's true, all the same. -All the offioera implicated in Mon day's revolution at Madrid have been sentenced to death. The private sol diers are yielding to the authorities and pleading that their omoers were to blame . John Li. ouliivan says he is going to kok out for his bank account, as he can see that price fighting is going out of fashion in this country. It is to be hoped that the slugger's vision is cor rect. . -f-Her Majesty Qaeen -Victoria has ordered the lift recently put into Buck ingham palaoe to be removed. It cost 2,000 to put it in, but she thinks it hideous, and elevates her royal nose at such modern gimcracks. It s cheering to i know that she's able to walk , up stairs. 1 rA curious novelty in hats has arisen in 3aris. They are made of knotted rushes in a sort of trellis pattern, and trimmed with slender branches of soarlet tulips, with the long leaves of the tulip plant woven together as a band around the pro wn. In fron t the tulips are set up as aigrettes against the background of :;dark velvety moss-sreen 'leaves. Thes brim is faced with green velvet to match. H-A sensational divorce suit has been on trial in a Connecticut court, the par ties; being Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick, highly respectable people. Mr. Ken drick is ex-mayor of Waterbury. The strange feature ot the suit is the ground on wmon the divorce is asked. Mrs. Kendrick, so Mr. Kendrick . swore. made a practice of beating her husband, pulling his hair and mustaohe, and otherwise mistreating him. The divorce wai granted. That was a sensational duel fouebt in Paris in 1815, between the Bona- p artist Colonel Barbier-Dufal and a young captain of the Royal Guard. The two adversaries were put into a coach and bound together so that only the right arm of each was left free, and in each right hand was placed a long, keen dagger. Then the doors of the coach were dosed, and before being opened again it was, according to the duel, driven deliberately three tunes around the Place Carrousel. The sec onds sat on the box in the coachman's place. When the doors were opened the young captain was found dead, pierced by many deep wound. Colonel Pufal was in little better plight, havinc received three terrible thrusts in the breast, and his whole left eheek having been tswn off by the teeth of his adver sary. Nevertheless, the tough old col onel got well, and even before he was quite cured, fought two more duels, one vith uoionei do fit. Morys, and the other with Gen. Montlegier, in each case gravely wounding his man and himself escaping unharmed. Last year an amateur photographer Varied to get pictures of several public Buildings at Washington. His colors ran, and the result was that his proofs presented a group of buildings falling in every direction. He had some blue prints made of the remarkable produc tion, and the other day one of them was passed around the departments. The print was passed on as taken xroni an instantaneous photograph of the earth' ;e at Charleston. It was stated that the first shook awakened the photo grapher, and he got his traps together. rushed into the street and got an ex cellent negative of the second shock: All of the officials and clerks be lieved the story. Some of them w ent into a scientific dissertation on the blue print. They all endeavored to ex plain why the buildings on one side bulged out and on the ether appeared to be falling inward. At last one of the clerks, laughing at his fooled com panions, called their attention to the fact that the earthquake occurred .at night. Wheat may be sown too thick as well as too thin for the best results; the rioher the soil and the more perfect the seed bed, the less the amount of seed required, says Prof. Ltsenby; There is more danger of sowing too much than too little, and no rule as to quantity can be given for different re gions. The right quantity may vary with soil "and exposure, the siio of the kernels, capacity ef the variety for till ing and injury from insects; and if : all the conditions were at their best three pecks to the acre would be ample. The increase above this quantity requires knowledge and judgment -on the part of the farmer as to the quantity of seed and its liability to those various acci dents and influences. CoBcraaal"!

CHARLXflTON, Sept. 24. Letters hav ing been reoeived from all parts of the oountry, asking whether the period of greatf distress, in Charleston has not passed, the statement is authorised that the relief committee, through the gen erosity of their fellow-countrymen, feel themselves in a position to furnish sub sistence and temporary shelter to all who need it, but at the same time the oommittee estimate that the relief funds at command or in prospect fall short of the money needed to put in habitable condition houses of persons who are un able to repair; their buildings without public aid. The United States engineers have inspected 600 buildings out of the 7,000 in the city and estimate the damage to those inspected at $2,000,000. Their inspection, however, covers most of the oostliest structures. The relief com mittee in assisting needy householders to make their: residences habitable will deal first with those whoso losses are small, the object being to make as many roofs as possible tight, foundations se cure .and chimneys Bafe before cold weather comes. The homes of widows and orphans and other helpless persons Will have paramount claims. No Iobs of ; any person owning more thtn one hcusc will be considered at this time. Tile intention also is to .disallow all claims for plastering, as not being in- diSpctsable to reasonable safety and comfort The subsistence committee has supplied nearly all persons requir ing provisions and the number of rations issued today was the smallest since the commissary was established. The foioe of clerks and the working force are being gradually reduced. Today was vry quiet. ; No shocks were felt here and only a slight tremor at Summerville.

Stuart Svming- ton delivered a brief welcoming address, assuring General Johnson of the high esteem in which he was held by the members of the society, both as man and soldier, and expressing the gratifi- cation of his comrades at his safe re turn. In reply, Gen. Johnson returned his earnest thanks for the cordiality of the reception, which had taken him by surprise. During his trip across the continent he had encountered many ex Confederates, and he was proud to say they were all doing well and discharg ing all the duties of god oitisenship. At the conclusion of Gen. Johnson's re marks, which were enthusiastically re oeived, he was escorted to an open car riage and to his residence, where the pa rade was dismissed. A Fatsi"col listen.

CRANK WIGGINS. PROF. MCGEE NEATLY 8HOWS UP THE EARTHQUAKE FRAUD. WIGG1HS IH VIXT TRUTH A FR0PHIT WITH OUT HONOR. Washington, D. C, Sept. 24. Prof. MoGee, of the geological survey, in an interview today upon Wiggins' al leged great earthquake in the Southern States next Wednesday, Baid : "I take no stock in the prediction whatever. It not at all a prediction of science. Earthquakes cannot be anticipated. To predict an earthquake September 29 is not scientific and nobody need be the least apprehensive on account of the proclamation of Wiggins. The people of Charleston are as secure now as they ever were; a great deal safer, I should say; because the earth here is more solidified, more settled reason of the recent now there is so and firm, by 'quake,' and much less chanoe of another like "The scientists in Washington take no stock whatever in Wiggins' prophecy. They all agree in pronouncing him a crank; a person of no seienfcho attain ments; without knowledge of the first elementary principles of physics; with out standing among scientists and with out credit among sensible men. "If he is entitled to any name beside that of crank,' " said an eminent scientist last night, "it is 'astrologer.' His ways are the ways of the astrologers of the dark ages, but he has not wit or learn-. ing enough to be classed even as an as trologer. He is the person who four of five years ago gained a good deal of no toriety by prophesying that wonderful and disastrous storms, cyclones, tidal waves and earthquakes would result from an impending conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Venus, the leading planets. He has also challenged the attention of the public several other times, by making other prophesies, all of which failed of fulfiment. I carefully; read some of his former predictions, but; found 'them a lot of rubbish. I don't think be descends to argument or state-, ment of reasons. If he did I think the newspapers would let him alone. They would see what nonsense the whole thing is, and I don't think they would continue to bring Wiggins before the American publio by publishing hii idiocies." . i A Prophet Witbon Hoser. Wiggins is the earthquake prophet. He claims that he predicted the Charles ton shock two weeks beforehand. He meant two weeks after it came. That is a style many prophets have. A few years ago Wiggins predicted all sorts of horrible things. None came to pass). This earthquake gave .him a golden op portunity and again this king of cranks comes to the surface. First he prophe sied eyolones September 14 and 15. He failed again. Next he predicted the destruction of New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston and San Francisco by earth- Juakes. He was cornered agmin Tuea ay and in response to a telegram to the Atlanta Constitution "took back" his prediction. He telegraphed that paper as follows: "The earthquake wave that visited Charleston and your region Au gust 30 has moved eastward, and from it there can be to you no future danger. The shocks there yesterday were caused ... . . , i.. ty tne sun moving across ue ceiesuai equator. There is positively no danger from earthquake in your latitude east of the Rooky mountains, except Wednes day next, and even then the force will pass westward on a parallel - south fof you. The greatest danger is to Central America, South America and California. The forces that create the earthquake will cause a great storm with high tides a .a. .a .1 f.l . both in the north and south Atlantic Wednesday next, which, however, will not be felt in forty degrees of the equa tor. This storm was foretold in toe Now York Tribune, May 10, 1886." Watch out and see Wiggins wiggle again. ' Traly Souther.

John Gatling, counsel for James H. Miller, yesterday applied to judge Gidger, at Warren ton, for a writ of ha beas corpus, whioh was granted, and the papers were brought to the eity last evening by Maj. Gatling and given to the sheriff, who ; immediately went out to the work-house and brought Miller in. He will be taken by W. G. Allen, superintendent ; of the work-house, to Warren ton this morning, where the writ will be heard. Maj. Gatling will ap pear for Miller, and R. H. Battle, Esq., will represent the county of Wake. ; As a matter of interest the following letter and endorsement thereon are pub lished. Under date of the 20th inst. Maj. John Gatling, of counsel for Miller, wrote Capt. Galloway, the solic itor of this district, as follows : "Thurs day, the 23d instant, at 12 o'olock, Jas. H. Miller will have . been Bn jail, ac cording to the judge's estimate of time, twenty days beyond the limit of his sen tence. ' He will immediately file a peti tion, surrendering his property and ask ing that be be allowed to take the in solvent debtor's oath. In ease his posi tion shall be - refused he will appeal from the decision of the clerk, of the eourt and at once apply to judge Gudger for a writ of habeas corpus, to be heard before him at Warren ton, Saturday, the 25th inst. Will you please endorse upon the back of this sheet your admis sion of notico of this matter and return 'to me by the next mail." This communication Capt. Galloway returned the 21st, with the following 'endorsement : "This letter is accepted as a notice in the" case. In accepting tbe same I respectfully insist that, inas much as I am recognized as a proper party to the process, and believe it is but just and proper that the State should be represented, the hearing should be in my own .district, as otherwise it will be impossible for me to attend and make answer and argument in behalf of, the State." It was learned yesterday that in, 1880 George Ferrell, who was sentenced to the workhouse under a sentence like Miller's, also applied to C. D. Up church, Esq., to "swear out." Mr. Upchurch refused, as he did in the Miller ease. Ferrell next applied by habeas corpus to chief justice Smith, who after hearing the case refused to discharge him and sent him back to the workhouse.

The bride is one of Wilson's most charming, and lovely young Indies, while he whose life she has brightened is a prominent and popular attorney of Kinston, and his many friends through out the State will be pleased to hear of the happy event. Mr. and Mrs. Uziell took the afternoon train for Kinston, where during the evening, at the ele gant residence of Mrs King, a brilliant reoeption was tendered them, where many called to welcome them and ex tend their congratulations.
