Petitions after petitions, letters after letters are being continually re ceived by our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress to secure their aid and influence in establishing new postoffices and mail routes. Through this section of the dtate nearly every route and office peti tioned for has been granted. If the department establishes postofSoes the next two years at the rate it has for the past two other vocabularies than the English will have to be consulted to supply the demand for names. The people of Jones county were recently forced to the .Latin vocabulary and 1 a 3 to name one of their offices Bonus in honor of the adjective all Li tin students know so well. Good for Bonus. i he time for the assembling of the Democratic State Convention is draw ing near and it is essential to the suc cess of the party that its nominee for Governor should be a man of spot- leBS character, of brilliant talents and A man who has the confidence of the people. There are many such men to be found in the Democratic party in this 5tae, bnt none so thoroughly equip ped in every essential as the lion. Daniel Gr. Fowle, of Wake county. Notwithstanding the brilliant attain ments of this distinguished gentle man it is a fact that cannot be suc cessfully controverted that he is more deserving and has stronger claims upon has party for his many personal and pecuniary sacrifices and for his brilliant and signal services rendered 'the party in the past than any one man 'to be found in it, and if they desire success in the coming campaign and at the same time wish to pay a debt of gratitude the party has long owed, the delega'es in that convention will not hesitate to nominate him for their chief magistrate. - The Rainbow Party, conducted, by the Ladies' Aid Society of the Dis ciples' Church at Loftin's Opera House last Thursday evening, the 3d inst., was in every respect a decided success. The Society was organized by the ladies of the Disciples' Church for: the purpose of securing funds for the erection of a new house of wor ship of which the congregation in Kinston now stand much iu need. To this end the party was given and we are glad to say that the handsome j sum or $5U. and upwards was real ized. Then, too, it was by common consent adjudged a most thoroughly enjoyed occasion. That awkward feel ing of restraint which so often attends festivals visited no one,' while perfect freedom and ease and their attend ants, good humor and mirth, per vaded the entire assemblage. The management cannot be too highly raised, and particularly are Misses ; fattie H. Rountree, Annie Phil lUpl, Fannie Kilpatrick and Mattie W., Rountree, on the part of the ladies, and Messrs. H. JES. Mosely and N. J. Rouse, on the part 'of the gen tlemen, to be commended for the in dustry, taste and good judgment dis played in the preparations therefor and in the programme and conduct of the order of exercises of the even ing. Siity-nve young ladies carried aprons of various cuts and colors ba$ted and ready for hemming, r or each lady with her apron a gallant had been provided, and it was a scene amusing and interesting aa well as ridiculous to behold sixty-five un tutored andunpracticed youths stitch ing away at their apronB with anxiety and determination to be successful in winning one of the two prizes which had been offered, one for the best and one for the mjpsi carelessly hemmed apton.. After carefully considering and' deliberating, the committee awarded the lBt prize to Mr. Flavius Darden, and the 2d, or booby, prize to Mr. R. C. Strong, Cashier of Lof tin's Bank. We will say in this con nection that although the Cashier was pronounced the booby of the sewing circle, yet he proved himself a booby not to be, when he displayed hii great skill, adroitness and banking experience in bribing (T) the commit tee that awarded him the much-coveted acquisition. The committee re ported several as deserving special mention in reference to both prizes. The prizeB were harmoniously and appropriately delivered by the ever- ready and genial Dr. H- D. Harper, After tne hemming of the aprons, all partook of the elegant and sumptu ous supper that had been prepared, and when the evening had passed, entertained most pleasing recollec tions of the hoars spent at the Rain bow fart j.

' Mr. Bryee, of New York, rising to a question of privilege, red the lan guage UBed by Mr. Woddburn, of Nevada, in reference to Congressman Hewitt; having apologized to the British! Minister for offering a reso lution of inquiry as to the case of O'Donnell, under sentence of death in Great Britain. Mr. Bryce stated that he had denied the correctness of the statement and in vindication of his denial he had read a telegram from Mayor Hewitt energetically de nying that he had ever apologized to the minister and a letter in which he details the circumstances of the case. The following is the telegram: "Have just seen the reports in the news papers Woodburn s statements as reported are simply untrue. Brumm'g statement is probably due to forgefc fulness. He is entirely wrong. I never made any statement whatever in the House on the O'Donnell busi ness, and ; never made any apology there Or elsewhere. There was noth ing to j explain or to apologize for The stpry that I apologized to the Biitisbj Minister was a lie which I contradicted at once iu the news papers! in which it appeared. No charge was ever made in i the House andlhence I never had occasion there to deny it. The newspaper charge Was utterly false and was contradicted by West as. well as myself. You were quite right to interpose a flat contra diction, and I thank you for it. Will write tnore fully. (Signed) Abbak b. Hiwitt. Mr. Hewitt's letter was also read. It is an amplification of the telegram, and begins with the statement that "a he once started never ceases to circulate, and every time it reappears it comes up with new additions. The subject was then dropped and the House went into committee of the whole on the tariff bill. Mr. Stockdale, of Mississippi, took the floor in continuation of his speech in favor of the bill, which, was inter rupted by adjournment last Saturday.

Xhey should no longer be held in servitude to the gi gantic protected industries from which they derived no benefit and to which they were under no obligation. Air.

Remarkable Escape fronJall. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Lebannon, Pa., May 8. Wm. Show ers, under sentence of death for the murder of his two grand children, -escaped from jail here some time during last night. His cell was discovered empty between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning. He dug a hole through the solid stone wall and lowered himself from the opening with a rope made from pieces of blanket. Showers is 70 years old, and how he escaped de tection in town, after his escape from prison, is a great mystery, as the jail is situated in the very heart of the city. The aged prisoner mast have been digging at the wall for some time past. He left behind him two letters, one addressed to his counsel and the other bidding defiance to the people who have threatened to lynch him. Guilford Court House. Charlotte Chronicle. The great celebration of the battle of Guilford Court House has come and gone. The only speech that was specially prepared for the occasion was that lof Judge Shenck. It is represented to have been elaborate, learned, able and eloquent. We are gratified to learn that the distin guished speaker proved tq the satis faction cf his auditors, that the atigma of cowardice,- which in tradi tion and history has attached to the North Carolina militia on that crucial day of conflict, was wiped out by a TiimeTL.?1f4fu.uhtaldiDffr of nation which, we are told, the orator made of the retreat of the North Carolina militia from the conflict, of which so much has been said and written, was that General Greene had ordered them to fire so many rounds and retire, and they literally obeyed orders. This explanation was shown by abundant evidence to be correct. This is the conclusion we had reached long ago. A few days since we gave, at some length, an account of the transplant ing of the cornea of a rabbit to that of a young woman, a patient in the Germantown Hospital, Philadelphia. The. operation in itself was entirely successful, but, as stated at the time, it will require some fifteen days to determine whether the patient's Bight has been actually and permanently restored. On Wednerdiy last the patient, who had been kip' in a dark room with her eyes securely bound, was visited by Dr. Fox, the operator, who proceeded to investigate by re moving the bandage. The Timta, in its account, says : Upon examination it was found that the eyelids had not developed the -slightest swelling, every n rve was in a perfectly normal condition, the graft had remained exactly in place, the edges are all united, and the graft, which has a perfect appearance, is as transparent as crvbtai and has attached itself to the basement mem brane. So good a result was not even dreamed of by Dr. Fox, who said, enthusiastically: "Yon Hippie expects that at end of three days the graft will be hazy, but this is not so it is at once transparent. I believe now that the opalescent tissue which has obscured the sight will become transparent. At any rate, Mrs. Schick has now a fighting chance of recover ing her sight. When the news of the success got abroad among the medical men of Germantown the tele phone at tha hospital was kept in constant use by physicians who lost no time in congratulating Dr. Fox.
