A Beautiful Mght.
" The conjunction of Venus and the moon,
the latter being in its first quarter, which
took place on Saturday evening, was wit
nessed and enjoyed by many. It was a'
really and' a rarely beautiful scene and as
there was a clear sky, none of it was lost.
It is said.thattLii conjunction occurs every
nineteen years and a half.

DAILY
Fire Yesterday. Xn
Yesterday about noon the alarm of (ire
was sounded, caused by the burning of an
old frame building on Surry street, be
longing to the estate of Mr. James Darby.
The fire when discovered was making
rapid headway, but was soon checked by
the crew of the revenue cutter Colfax,
who, under command of Lieut. Brooks,
succeeded in stopping what would other
wise have been a serious conflagratioa.
The fire was first discovered by Lieut.
Brooks, on his way back to the ship from
church, and he at once sent an order to
Lieut. Rhodes to bring up the Cutter's
men. These soon arrived, when- the bat
tlcjiicnU of the house were scaled,its ports
ope 1 and the buckets full of water
brought from the Cutter (they have plenty
of water on hand on the Cutter, although
they don't have much use for it there abaft
of the cook's galley) when the Cutter men
cut'er hole iu the roof and poured in the
water and it was all over.
A Pretty Ballad.
"Tell the Folks I'll Soon be Home" is'
the title of a very pretty little ballad
published by Spear & Dehnhoff, of New
York, for a copy of which we are indebted
to Mr. Chas. T. French, of French's Ho
tel, New York, by whom the music was
composed. It was sung by the celebrated
balladist, David S. Wambold, of the San
Francisco Minstreh in New Yorlc, and re
ceived ajuuraberof warm plaudits from the
press.
Bread is the Staff of Life.
By Bread we mean all the various
forms into vvhieh it is customary to con

Bread is guod when light, sweet and nu
tritious,, and without deleterious quali
ties. I low are these properties best se
cured ? In no way, we answer, so well
and certainly as by the use of Dooley'S
Yeast I'owdeu. Try it thoroughly and
convince yourself.
Through Freight
The steamship Lucille, Capt. Bennett,
arrived here this morning from Forts
mouth having ou board a portion of the
Southward bound Coast Line freight which
had accumulated at that point since the
destruction of the bridges over the Roan
oke at V:iilon. She will be followed by
the steamship I). J: Foley, Capt. Trice,
whieh will bring on ; the balance of the
Coast Line Freight. The Metropolis, which.
left Portsmouth for Wilmington last
week, was disabled and will not come
now at all.
The Immaculate Conception.
On Saturday, in the Catholic Church,
was celebrated the feast of the "Immac
ulate Conception" in memory of the in
estimable privilege granted to the Virgin
Mother of God, of being conceived in
original justice and exemplified from all
sin. The Blessed Mother being solemnly
chosen as .the "Patroness of the United
States," the day is peculiarly honored by
the Catholics of Xorth America. On this
day the faithful, ia addition to asking in
dividual graces for themselves and fami
lies, also beg her intercession before God,
that justice, union, peace and prosperity
may rein throughout tho land with an
increase of faith and piety among all other
felhow citizens of every denomination.
Barometrical Fiovvers.
The following paragraph
I);av
of interest to the ladies:
Purchasers of new and curious trifles
have already supplied themselves, with
the 'barometrical flower.' It is an artifi
cial flower, of course, und its -deep blue
tint is caused by chloride of cobalt.
When the atmosphere changes at the ap
proach uf rain, the blue turns pink. Thh
is the simple explanation of a pretty toy.
But the Parisian ladies are utilizing, the
invention by wearing the blue flowers in
tbeir hats. Thus, on the promenades
they furnish to. each other mutual precau-
tionary signals.' When a lady discovers,
by her neigbor's bonnet, that rain is com
ing, she is puton her udd; while she
herself is warning' others. This is the
latest ''mutual protection' device, and its
adoption among the votaries of fashion
shows that scientific ladies may be more
easily known -by-tho tints of the orna
ments in their hits than by the cerulean
hue of their stockings.
One of these barometrical flowers may
be seen at Mr. Honrets jewelry store on
Market street. It is a true prophet as
regards the weather. x
Postal Affairs.
The efforts of the post oflice depart
want to increase the efficiency of the mail
service are always matters of public inter
est. The lastest effort in this direction is
a circular from the IVs'master-General.
which is displayed in the window of
the Pottofnce here, stating that postmas
ters are required to keep a complaint
book, in which all letters reported to them
as lost are entered; and after making ex
amination in their offices they are required
to report the loss, with all particulars
without delay. The public are aleo invit
ed to report promptly all losses or irreg
larities in their correspondence to the
Chief Special Agent, lWoflicc Depart
ment, Washington, D. C, and investiga
tion wi 1 follow.
The circular further sdds; "U all losses
should be promptly reported it will be
the meaus of correcting the irregularities
and the interests of the public, as well as
the efficiency of the postal service, will bo
enhanced in a most important degree.
The omission of the county in the address,
of letters is one of the great causes of delay
and missending."
Wl
United States Court.
In the- Circuit Gnit of the I'nitcd
States in session at RaHgh, the f..l lowing
cases of interest to this .section have been
disposed of:
Robert Swepson vs. the City 1 Wil
mington. The case was arugol by Mer
rimon, Fuller & Aslu- i. the pintiil,
and John London and -T. B. Baiclielor
for the defendant. An agreement was
fded that the court should find 'the ftct.
Judgment reserved.
The Dawson Bank ainl Bank of Xuw
Hanover, Wilmington, vs. Blocker, col
lector of internal re venue. 'x The puin
tift's claim the return of certain taxes
and penalties, paid on borrowed i;i.i:iv.
since 1872, on the ground that the 'stat
ute only taxes "deposits." Judge 'Cant
well read his brief and concluded his argu
ment for the plaintiffs: Mr. 'Badger,
United States District Attorney, replied
for the Government. Decision reserved.
Appointment of Brigadier Cienei als.
The Raleigh jYirw.s says : His Excellency,
Gov. Vance, on yesterday commissioned
Basil C. Maidy a Brigadier General of the
North Carolina State Guard, and assigned
him to tho command of thy First Military
District.
Matthew IV Taylor" also received au ap
pointment as Brigadier General, and was
assigned to the command of iIk- N-cond
Military District.
The promotion of these officers . ii fully
deserved, by reason of their faithful servi
ces in the btate Guard, and t elr merit
finds its just reward in thi-s advancement.
During the time Unit-.they have held
positions in the Guard, their unremitting
efforts have done' much towards building
up that organization and making' it woithy
of our State, and every soldier iu the Slate
will appreciate his recognition of their val
uable services.
General Manly 's connection with the
State Guard began in J 874, us Cap tarn
of the Raleigh Light Infantry. In April,
1877, he was elected Lieutenant-Colonel
of the First Battalion, formed at that
time. This position he occupied until he
received the above mentioned commission
of Brigadier-General.
General Taylor connected .himself with
the guard in 1875, when he was elected
Captain of tho Wilmington Light Infan
try, occupying this position -until April
30th, 1877, when he became Major of the
Second Battalien, then organized. Upon
the resignation of Lieutenant-Colonel
Chas. Haigh of the Second,Jhe was elected
to that office and held it until his appoint
ment as Brigadier-General.
Tho troops in the first military district
consist of one full regiment of infantry,
(10 companies) white- one battalion of
infantry, (four companies) colored, and a
battery of light artillcrj The troops in
tire second military district consist of one
full regiment of infantry (10 companies)
white ; one battalion of infantry, (live'
companies) colored, and alight battery.
Owing to the small number of troops
in the Third Military District, no ap
pointment t)f a Brigadier-General for
assignment to that District .will yet be
made.

Journalistic
m.
The first' number of the -'Wilmington
'Journal under the new .series' and man
agement has been received. As an old
friend and acquaintance we give it a hear
ty welcome. We have reason to . believe
that under the editor;! management and
control of Josh James, the Journal will
in a short times resume its former popu
larity in the Cape Fear Section. Mr.
James knows well how to conduct it, and
if we are not powerfully .mistaken in the
man he has the energ3' to !., it. Sr.eess to

The river steamers from Fayetteville do
not reach here now, as a general thmg,
until midnight. This is caused not by the
low water, but by the many stoppages
they are obliged to make to take in freight.

Pine Forest Cemetery will bo held at tiie
Court House next Thursday evening, on
which occasion a Board of Trttste?s for the
