An item of news states that the King of Spain, who is only seventeen months old. has a salary of 1,000, 000 4 year. And yet the assertion is ventured that when this high salaried royal infant gets his face washed or has the colic he cries as lustily as any ordinary baby without a salary. Usually when the law gets hold of a, man it makes him suffer, but' sometimes it will help him out Qfi scrape. An instance of the beneficent effects of the law is now being expe rienced by a Mar j land man wjio Lad seven wives. He is now in jail.

Mrs. Logan is said to have grown old rapidly since the General's death, and to have lost much of her old-time vi vacity and energy. A cow was butchered in La Crosse, Wis , the other day, and when the contents of the stomach were ex amined there were found a silver quarter of a dollar, two one inch wpod screws, six carpet tacks, twenty -three shingle nails, two large knitting needles and one street railway spike three inches long. The pedagogue at a Pennsyl vania country school gave a young lady a severe whipping the other day and then said: "Now, if you think I did wrong in punishing you thus you may take the rod and serve me in like manner." To his astonishment the contrite and repentant girl took him at his word and gave him such a lambwting as he had never dreamed cf.

Thursday morning the odor of gas came from their room, the door was buret open, and both men were found lying on the floor dead. . It was plain that they bad blown out the gas. The following fashion points for ladies and gentlemen are cabled' oter from Paris: A novelty for trimming plain wools or serge dresses is the U3e of colored ticking in yellow and blue, red and blue, or blue and white. It is put in plain, in a fold underneath the drapery or showing slightly at the edge. Natural leather is. used thus, and is very effective. It must be done with measure and taste and be jauntily worn. The laissez alles can only be tolerated now witn a house dress, eucb. as robes do cham bre or negligent afternoon costumes. Gentlemen no "longer thrust their handkerchiefs in an opening in their vests when in evening dress. As there are no pockets, this useful ne cessity is hidden in the sleeves of the coat. It is for this reason that the sleeves are made larger. , A black cravat is seldom worn, andy never by young men. The vest has from four to five buttons. The materials used for dress 'suits are very light and without lustre. Evening shoes, or boots like those for street wear, are not made pointed. Round toes are the style. Black silk socks, plain,for shoe or boot, and with a bit of red or blue 'for low shoes, are the thing Cravats tied in bow knots have again tppeared. They are in supreme chic for day dress. One must only be correct, however, in the splendor of the swallow-tail. With the long sailor cravat or scarf, pins are not worn, so that this peculiar jewelry seems to be destined at least to mo mentary oblivion. THe Governor "Palace." The Wilmington Star prints a long letter from ex Gov. Jarvis on the Governor s Mansion now in course of erection here. The distinguished writer says, among other things : , "I.not profess to love my State better than other people, but I do claim to have too much State pride to take part in the erection of a home for her Governors that is not a credit to the State and that will not excite feelings of pride in any citizen who may behold it. The house we are now erecting is to stand for one hun dred years and more, and be occupied by a Governor chosen by the people of a great State as his home. Had the house been pent up and badly design ed, the nextfew years would have wit nessed new appropriations for its enlargement and remodeling athing always expensive and rarely ever sat isfactory. Completed as designed, it w ill always be satisfactory to those who may occifp'y it and creditable to th cge in which it was built. I do not nay it in a spirit of stub bornness or iiritation, but because of my conviction that I was right in what I did, when I declare to, you that I do tot regret having com menced such a house; but I do regret that I was not able to finish it and relieve all other of even any teeming esiiouj5ibility La the matter."

Tho pressure! of busmewj 'upon it prevented us do-i ing eo, butjt iwas. exceedingly impor tant that legislation ou tbU subjects which involtod a dealing with amounts and ifignres and the ivvcr tainment of what was witLin the po-.v -i er of the citinptaies to do on the c no s'de and what; would be the most ab solute security for -the government on; the other, should be considered by a committee that could Lave before it representatives of 'tLe comp;itii. a and. officers of the igOfarnDjent. Tho fjub ' ject had been bommitted by Congress to a special 1 commission. It had been made th& objecf of a special ex ecutive message, aud it therefoic seemed eminently .proper that it should be referred, to a special com mittee. Mr. Gorman said that when he made the motion to reconsider, it wa3 simply upder the general impression that a subject of such magnitude had better be considered by a standing committee of the body. But for the; reasons stated by. the Senator from Massachusetts and for other reasons which had come to his knowledge, be now thought that the best disposi tion of. the question would be to refer it to a select committee. He sug gested, however, that the committee Bhould consist of seven (not five) members. In the full and extended discussion which followed it appeared that the judiciary committee were quite satisfied to be relieved of the la bor of conducting the subject aud were not at all jealous of the prerogative or precedent that attached to their hav ing for several sessions previous to this one had the Pacific railroad debt under consideration.

Pub lic institutions w re being over taxed and, worst of" all, there was a growth of classes tm-Americuu v.u hard of assimilation, which menaced tho pub lic peace and thieatentd to overturn all established law and usage. The conviction was growing that the country, with its J0,000 000 of popu lation and its $.)0,000,00i,000 of wealth had passed beyond the need of immigration, and that it was time lo go out of the 'asylum" business, time to cease to be a dumping- ground for the vicious. delinquent human product of other nations The object of this bill w as to provide for the exclusion of dependent, delin quent and dangerous classes through an. inspection and investigation in their own country ia-tcad of at the ports of entry, and to effect this with the least poesible hardship or incon venience to desirable immigrants.

Tha Shaksperc Club at the UnlTerslty. Oor. of the News and Observer. Chapel Hill, N. C, Jan. 23. To inform those who are interested in 'the Shakapere Club throughout the State, to correct a mistaken im pression of its being dead, and to an swer many inquiries on the subject, it has seemed expedient to give a brief notice of the club's work this 3 ear to our metropolitan newspaper. The club has grown to be a permanent part of the University. It offers every advantage to those wishing to make a specialty of the Drama" and serves as a valuable'adjunct to the De partment of English Literature. Be sides its value its a means of literary culture, its social feature is very pleasant and entertaining. Students, professors aud i gentlemen of the Law School meet in friendly and informal discusfion twice each month; and, occasionally, when a play of a deli cate and romantic character is to be considered, the doors are thrown open to the ladies of the village. By no means is the club in a doubt ful state of existence. So far this year it has been increased by thirty one members, besides associate and honorary members. The Shakspere Library is continually being added to and bids fair to be the most noted of its kind in the South. The followinsr plays which formed a part of the scheme published in our Journal for '87-8, have demanded the Club's attention: Titus Andronicus, Love's Labor Lost, Comedy of Er rors, Henry VI, Parts 1, 2 and 3, and Romeo and Juliet. Richard the Sec ond, Antony and Cleopatra, Mac beth and the Tempest will be taken up before the close of the session. All the work is done in a spirit of noblesse oblige, being entirely volun tary, and, usually, is of a high and creditable character. In addition to papers, criticism and extempore re marks, bearing directly on the subject of the evening, frequently essays and theses on kindred topics are presented. Some idea of our way of handling a play may be given. First is deter- termined the stage of the author s ca reer and the time of the composition by an examination of the external and internal evidence ; whether rhyme oc curs, whether; run-on or end stop Ikies prevail, and how the number of feminine and weak endings compare with those of other plays. The verse tests having been made, then fol lows the historical setting and a comparison with the production, of other playwrights. The source and the author s use cf- materials, allu sions to contemporary events, stock expressions and borrowed phrases, the character drawing, the diction, are noticed in detail. The investigation frequently takes a technical turn and thejknottiest questions in Shakspenan criticism are touched; but never to such an extent as to destroy popular interest in the meetings. Being the only Shakspere club in a college in the South, at the Uni versity of the State, it should receive the encouragement and support 01 all lovers of Shakspere learning, and especially of those who desire to dis seminate culttire throughout North Carolina.

The day has been mostly consumed in the ar rangement of preliminaries. The re port of the committee on credentials showed that three-fourths of the counties of the State were represented by delegates and officers present, numbering 114. About half of the delegation are colored. The report the secretary showed that the membership of the order has increased one hundred per cent in the last year ami that there are now 190 local assem blies in tho State. TLe election of offi cers will take place tomorrow, and the session will probably close tomor row night. The following resolution was passed by the assembly this even ing: Whereas, There are now in the State of Pennsylvania thousands of our brethren who have been forced to strike against the oppression of the Reading railroad company; Jle$olved, That we do not believe in strikes, except as a last resort, to which we believe the K. of L. em ployed on the railroads have been driven. Resolved, That we regard this strike as directed against that terror to liberty, Monopoly, and that while this great struggle is in the State of Pennsylvania we believe the principle involved is the right to provide cloth ing and shelter to the man who toils to create the wealth of this country and the right to organize for their own improvement and protection. Resolved, That the Knights of La bor of North Carolina are looking with deep solicitude and healthful symptoms upon the many struggles of their brethren in Pennsylvania, and that we will encourage them and help them financially to the extent of our ability, believing as we do that their cause is our cause. Resolved, That we call upon the assemblies in this State to aid these brethren in this struggle as far as they may be able, and that funds for this purpose be cent to the general secretary for the benefit of the strik ing railroad men and miners in Penn sylvania.

Mr. Cox, the na tionalist member of Parliament for Clare, who was arrested in Londpn yesterday after leading the Irish po lice such a long chase, has arrived at Ennis, where he will be tried for ad dressing proclaimed league meetings. A row occurred at the railroad sta tion at Galway today between a crowd which was awaiting the arrival of Fathers Burke and Francis and the police. The latter charged the peo ple, using their batons freely, while the crowd retaliated by throwing stones and bottles. Several persons were injured, among them a member of the municipal council, who re ceived three cuts on the head from a policeman s baton. The v rather In IKfc?. Cor. of the News and Observer. There is much of interest even to the casual observer in a visit to the U. S. Signal Service office in this city. One would imagine that if the service has really the control of the weather it might afford them very great pleasure and satisfaction to order up these cold wave flags and make things gen erally uncomfortable for the people at large, while the observer is com fortably seated in an easy chair be fore his blazing fire watching the peo ple pass with their coat collars but toned up to their ears and their breath ooking as if the contents of one of Durham's cigarette factories had been distributed through the city. Then, if the observer wishes a change and diversion in this otherwise quiet and orderly city, he has but to put up his white flag, bring out the sun lor a day and have the farmers won der why they have not already plant ed cotton. Then the next day run up the mud flag and watch the scenes enacted upon pur principal thorough fares, s On Saturday I saw some men sta tioned, resting on their shovels, at the crossings on Fayettevillo street. My first thought was that, with kind and human intention, our city Fath ers had stationed these men, like our lifo guards along the coast, to resettle those who got lost in the muddy deep- But in reality the life of a signal observer is anything but enviable at this time of year. If you go into his office just after a cold wave or a mud flag has been ordered up, he looks up from his work with a wear ied, but set, determined and defiant expression which says much plainer than words, "Well, what have you o say about it?" I expect statistics will show them to be a very short lived race of men and insurance agents probably take big "risks" Jn providing for their decease in the far future. As a measure of common hu manity, the Governor should detail a small squad of the "Guards" to ac company our observer when he takes his life in his hand and sallies forth from his stronghold to go to his meals or the telegraph office to secure and send on his dispatches, to pro tect him from the jeers, taunts, insult and even personal assaults of the long suffering, but at last infuriated, public. If, how ever, on entering the office one waves his handkerchief, not as if he had taken cold in the head, for that aggravates the observer and makes him dangerous, but as a flag of truce and with friendly intentions, and the observer sees that his intentions are honorable and not directed against his life, the visitor will find our ob server very courteous and glad to talk about the weather in the ab stract. It was in an expedition of this kind that the writer obtained a copy of the annual summary of meteorological data which may be of interest to many who would not care to risk having their hats knocked in with a barometer or their faces disfigured by having hurled at them, in mistake for a hostile invading party, a radia tion thermometer, which in warm, fair weather is shown as having been one of Gen. Greeley s instruments in the Arctic regions ANNUAL METEOROLOGICAL SUMMARY, 1887. TEMPERATURE The mean daily temperature for the entire year was 58 3 degrees. This does not show much, one way or the other, for that might include any number of hot days and any number of cold ones. The mean temperature of the coldest month, January, wis 38.5 degrees, and of the hottest month, July, 79.8 degrees. There were fifty-one days on which the low est temperature was below freezing : in January eighteen, February fottr, March eight, April t hree, November five, December thirteen. It ia sur prising to think that only on four days in February was the lowest tem porature below freezing. The highest temperature of the day waa belrw freezing only on six days in Jan uary, that is to euy, practically n only six days in the year did it freeze all day. Of hot days there were 7 when the temperature was above 90 degrees: seven in June, eighteen in July and one each for August . September. The mean temperature at which dew or fog would form was 49 4 deg. or 8.9 deg. below the air temperature;; Compared with a dense fog this gives a relative hu midity or state of saturation for tho atmosphere of 75-3 per cent, which seems rather high. THE CLOCnS, WIND ASD BAIN. On an average 48 per cent or nearly half the sky has been covered by clouds as shown by their three daily observations. Excepting January, for which there is no record, the wind has blown on an -average 4,070 miles rer mouth or 183 miles every 24 hours. The highest hourly velocity was in March, when it blew 33 miles per hour at timesi on the 29th. The rainfall seems Tery large, 59 22 inches or nearly CO inches. Five faet of water over every inch of ground 6eems a good deal for our vegetables and crcps to require even in a "dry town." The rain was distributed through the year as follows, in inches: Jan uary 3.04, February 4.97, March 4 13, April 2 10, May 3.4P. June G.22, July 6.11, August 10 80, September 2.17, October 10 23, November 1.00, De cember 4.99. Measurable quantities of rain fell fcn 130 days or Oftener thfn every third day, while only one day out of three (126 days) was "clear" or prac tically free from clouds. There were 102 "cloudy" days. It seems rather-surprising to think that ou tho average rain fell every third day. This was distributed as follows: On ten days ia. January; February fifteen March ten, April eight, May eleven; June eleven, July thirteen, August sixteen, September six, October eleven, November eight, December eleven quite evenly dis tributed. 1 hero was considerable more rain and there were more rainy; days in the summer than in the win ter. There were thirty thunder storms, as follows: February one, March two, April two, May seven, June eight, July seveD, August two, September one. I here are some facts here of in terest to our farmers. Mr. Baldwin informs me that he is preparing a general summary of the weather for the State at large for the past year for the Bulletin of the Department of Agriculture. I In the mean time, while this cold, muddy weather continues, let me ad- j vise all who approach the signal of ficer to do so with: great caution and I circumspection, waving their hand kerchief in the friendly manner to vhicb I have before alluded or thef may have that watch-dog of a wind instrument after them with the ane mometer cups whirling around their ( ars, and thermometere , and barome tars, and zero point, and rain gauges, nd all manner of weather instru ments thrown at them ; while I do believe that in a very mysterious cor-i ner the observer has an actual cyclono confined under several hundred atmos pheres ready to use as a last resort.
