Recovery j of a Watch and Chain.
A letter Svas received here this morning
directed to the Chief of police, from S. J.
Kadcliffe, Chief of Police, Columbia S. C.
asking' if anyone in this city had lost a

movement, aWa fine gold chain. ' The
watch and chain was taken from an es
caped convict who had been in the city,
and who was subsequently arrested aud
carried to Columbia. Capt. Kadcliffe ex
pressed the belief that the watch and
chain bad bceii stolen while the fugitive
was in Wilmington. Wc do not reoool
Meet at present of having bearl of "tho
articles being stolen in i this city, but if
our memory serves us right, a watch
and chain was stolen about two months
ago, frpln a citizen of the town of Golds

City Court.
There were three c&cs tried before this
suRUst tribunal this morning, The first
billed was that of a sailor who naa iwo
charges against him -one for disorderly
conduct',' and the other that of drunken
ness. Iu the first bo was fined $20 and

second he was found guilty ami seutencod
to $10 and costs or 15 days oa the streets,
jn default of which this jolly tar will
have to iake an involuntary donation of
45 days of labor in helping to put our
streets in something of a sanitary con
dition. - i r
The second case was that of Catharine

Catharine caused James Kelly to ce

When and How to Kat Fruit.
When fruit does harm it is because it is
eaen at improper times, in improper
quantities, or before it is ripened and fit
for the human stomach, A distinguished
physician has said that if his patients
would make a practice of eating a couple
of good oranges before breakfast, from
February to June, his practice would be
gone. The principal evil is that we do
not eat enough of fruit; that we injure its
fiucr qualities with sugar ; that wc drown
them in cream. We need . the medical
action of tho pure fruit acids in our' As
tern, and their cooling, corrective influ
ence. . , j '.

The Lecture Last Night.
We regret to say that only a medium
sized audinence assembled at the Temple
of Israel last night to i bear! the beautiful
and highly interesting lecture of Rabbi
Ed. B. M, Browne, on "the Talmud, its
Ethics and Literary Beauty." Those who.
were fortunate enough to be in attendance
were regaled with a discourse ; of more
than ordinary force and beauty having
for its subject the description and expla
nation of one of the Bublimcst codes of
ancient or modern times. Tho Talmud,
said the learned lecturer, comprised the
laws and everything pertaining to the
govornmont of the Hebrews when these
laws had been reduced to writing; It, ho
said, would make about three hundred
volumes of ordinary sire of five hundred
pages, (folio) each, and had neither index
nor digest. The lecturer discoursed at
length the ethics of this great work, and
explained how. on account of the Hebrews
having at different timesf been overcome
by different nations, their laws and cus
toms had been preserved iu the dialects
which were the result of 4he combinalUuCT;
quantance with the Talmud ; presupposed J
a thorough knowledge of a( jeati six' dif- j
ferent languages. This wa a height cjf
knowledge to which very few ever attain
ed, consequently the Talmud remained a
sacred arcana of mystic and almost forgot
ten lore oaaccouut of the great difficul
ties that beset the path , of Jhe ej3vrcr
after knowledge iu this direction. But,
suEc it to say as our space will net per
mit us to go further in artemptiug a
synopsis of the cveuiugu discourse, that it
was one of great comprehensiveness .ana
abounded in apt and happy illustraUons,
by way of anecdote, which .were at . times
amusing aud laughable. Tho lecture was
a decided success. ail the lecturer showed a
tborongh acquaintance , with ' bis subject
and an appreciation with its salient noiBts
that won the closest aUoUk'tt of tbe audi
ence. AYe bespeak; for him a large at
tendance to-aiight, ' t . f'i-
