We understand that Mrs. Lancy Moore,

City Hall Items.
, 'Annie Hunter, an bid offender, was put
in the guard house again yesterday after
noon for drunkenness, but the Mayor pro

owing to the fact that the woman com
plained of being sick and is considered in
a delicate condition. '

Capt. Coney carries the proxy of the
Whiting Rifles and also of .those other
officers of I his Company who are unable
to attend, t ' 1
The officers who attend this election are
required by orders from the, Adjutant
General to appear in full uniform.
Something New,
Wc are informed by Capt. Gordon,of the
Whitiug Rifles," that he"has had one of thei
statp rooms on the- Modoc thoroughly
cleaned and carpeted, and furnished with
conveniences necessary to make it a'com
fortablc dressing room for ladies. An ex
perienced chambermaid will have charge
of this room and none but ladies will have
access to it. A table will be set, in the
centre of the large saloon on which will
b3 served hot coQfec and tea, sandwiches,
pickles, sardines, ice ercam, cake, &c, fcc
There wiil be a soda' fountain1 on board,
from which fresh ice cold soda water will
be drawn to order.
Prof. F. M. Agostini has been engaged
as floor manager for thc dances. "
Monsieur De Barraton, ia celebrated
banjo picker and comic ' singer will
make fun for the crowd. Persons going
on the excursion are requested to beat
the boat early, so as to lere as soon after
eight o'clock as possible. This will -very
probably be the .last excursion otthe forts
this season. Capt Gordon has spared no
trouble to make it attractive all and we
hope. a big crowd may go down and help
tho Whitings to pnrchaso their uniform.
A. Straddle.
A patty of ladies meandering about the
streets yesterday were overtaken by a
(cow. "Girls"' said the matron of thc
j)arty, "the antipathy wc have for this
animal makes it imperative that we emu
late certain political newspapers, so I re
commend wc get on the fence." And it
was just as jolly a sight to see them strad
dle that fence as it is to look at some of
the Hayes admirers in the same sort of
a fix.
Mauitsby's Point.
- i
We have had numerous excursions to
the Forts this season, but none to thc
woods. Friday next Capt. Dick Paddi
feon's' boat Will tako - excursionists to
Maultsby's Point on Black River and, from
bur knowledge of Capt. Dick, we think it
will be a success. He never does any
thing by halves and those who would like
to take a trip up Black River will do well
to avail themselves of theopportunity. A
tamble though the woods and a good
quiet day is something-that the most
sedate or the, most lively amonjg us can
enjoy., See ad. ,
: : ' Some Fishing.
Saturday afternoon five of thc young
gentlemen working in thc shops of Messrs.
Hart, Bailey & Co. left thc city on thc
yacht Rosa Lee for Smithvillc and the
fishing grounds. Six gallons of ice water,
two; lemons, ten pounds of ico and, a litWe
sacdharine matter were sent aboard ahead
of them; the party was not far behind the
refreshments and the yacht was soon sail
ing gaily down tho stream. Thc festive
party left Smithville early Monday morn
ing for the rocks. They fished for two
hours, and succeeded in catching three
hundred and fifty fish with hooks and
lines. This is no snake story, for the
gentlemen do'not vouch for the correctness
of the statement; all wc have to say
abcat it is that wc neither saw nor counted
...
the fish.

House ltocbery.
Last night,about, half-past niucr o'clock,
Mir. P. Hcinsberger discovered Upon en
tering his residence on Third street, that
some one had made a forced entrance
through a side or ,back door of his house
by prizing off a panel in tho door, which
made room onough for a man to crawl in.
Upon investigation, Mr. Hcinsberger
also discovered that the burglar had rifled
every desk, bureau drawer and trunk in
the house, in search as it is supposed of
valuables,- which, however, Mr. Robber
failed to secure, owing to the fact that
ir. Hcinsberger took the precaution to
remove alsucli articles to a place of safety
wien ms family,4 who ; are spending the
summer on the Sound, moved out of town.
!What the loss is Mr. II. is unable to
determine yot and cannot tell until hi s
family returns home. Much clothing, both
oft gentlemen's and ladies' wear, is sup
posed to have been stolen.
The thief broke into the drawer that
contained Mr. U's. private papers, besides
upsetting all tho books in Lis library and
occasionally expectorating his tobacco
juice upon thc floor. Exactly what time
the robbery occurred cannot be determin
ed, as Mr. H. left home on Saturday, for
the Sound, and did not return to his house
Ymtil last night, when he made thc above
mentioned discovery. Wc trust that some
clue may be furnished the authorities so
that they will be able follow tho matter
up until the guilty party can be arrsted

A Colored Poet.
The members of the class of
and
others at Chapel Hill, will recollect a col
ored individual who figured there at that
time by the name of George Horton, raore
readily known among the students as "the
poet Horton," who resided a short dis
tance from the city. Hortcn was indus
trious,but not sober and self-educated "but
not .self-denying, for like so many men of
genius or talent, he sometimes yielded to
a too inordinate use of tho ardent.
As an evidenct of his ability we pub
lish herevrith a copy of some stanzas com
posed by him and addressed to tho twi
light, which hare been kindly handed to
us by a gentlemen ot this f ity,..a artrraWn
of the class of '53, who has preseTred
them through all of these years. They
are as follows : 1 I
SUMMER EVENING DITTY AT TWILIGHT.
Great Kinc. th
step-matron with flre
tapers from thee,
Has lighted heri
btill streams of
reiuigence its wonders in
spire
A boundless and Infinite sea.
When thou hast descended thy throne
And furled thy sweet pinions of lteht.
Fair Cynthia, thy mpress,sits smiling alone
And bids thee with pleasure goodnight, good
nigni.
The owl in the hollow wakes up
Tlie whinoorwill strikes ud her eletf.
The eagle which gazed from the tall moun
tain top
Now hovers her nest on the tree.
I hear not the bell of the cow '
Which browsed thro' the woods with delight,
The horse with his harness makes haste
from the plough.
And bids to the etubble goodnight, good
night.
The meteors begin now to play
Thro' the deep azure ocean of hre,
Whilst Luna glides mild thro' the uncloud
ed spray
Which the world must by nature admire.
The small bird retires to her nest '
And closes her pinions of flight.
The bee from the gay Y&Uey flies home to
rest . v '
And bids each flower good nigh, good night,
Heaven grant me my skill to display
In genius, in labor or lore,
And thus travel on to the close of my day
And think of aay troubles no more.
When I with this life shall have done,
And death has o'er clouded my sight,
Let me say without sorrow, "my short race
is run,"
And bid to thij? world good night, good night.
For the Indies.
Loopings giving irregular effects aro
admired.
Crossuse drapery in overskirts is fash
ionable. Grenadines are cut in the Princess
form.
The "skeleton polonaise" is a leading
favorite.
There are many variations in summer
modes.
Cambric suits ars fashionable for morn
ing and evening wear.
Thc manner of trimming gives the cos
tume its position ia the world of dress.
Linen suits adorned with torchon lace
can be made very dressy in effect.
Figured lawns are fashionable.
A bauistc polonaise designed for travel
ing wear, is made quite plain and ample.
Terhaps there is no style of dress goods
so- appropriate for summer wear as grena
dines. Figured grenadines, trimmed with
plaited lace and satin ribbon in loops, is
thc latest.
Square pockets are still admired, and
square collars for seaside costumes are in
favor. .
Breton costumes come now in all sorts
of dress materials, from silk to cambric,
and arc picturesquely trimmed.
Colored Educational Convention.
Prominent colored men! from sixteen
counties in the State have issued the fol
lowing call for a general convention of the
colored people of the State:
Feeling and believing that our education
al, mental and moral advancement as a
race at the present juncture are and should
bo with us paramount to all other issues,
and therefore demand and should receive
our immediate consideration, and feeling
that these ends can be better served by
united action on our part, we therefore
issue this call for a Convention of the col
ored people of North Carolina, to meet in
the city of Raleigh, on Thursday, Octo
ber 18, 1877, at 10 o'clock, a. m., for the
purpose of organizing and devising some
plan by which the objects as above set
forth may be accomplished. The ratio
of representation will be, that each county
will be allowed twice the number of
delegates to which they have members of
the House of Representatives. We hope
each county will appoint delegates ac
cordingly. Wc earnestly desire a full representa
tion, as matters of grave importance af
fecting our future welfare will be consid
ered. Each delegate should come prepar
ed to contribute proportionately to defray
ing the necessary expenses of the Conven
tion. i' '" ' :, "
