man, of this city, has donated four acres
of land, situated a short distance from the
National Cem tery, for the purpose of,

The Pnrlm Ball.
Oue of the grandest balls of the season

whirling in the mazy waltz. It is said to
have been the largest ball ever given by

last night, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
President F. H. Darby.
Vice President J. Wright Meares

geant Harry Loeb.
Committee on Applications John L
Holmes, Jr., Corporal R. H. Grant and
Litut. J. W. Gordon, g

most of the cases.
The Committee at Charleston.
The committee of the Southern railway
and steamship association now In session
in. Charleston have made a considerable
number of changes, all of which, with
two or three exceptions, involve reductions.
Between the ex ensive lowering of classi
fieations, 'as well as of rates, freights will
be generally a good deal cheaper. Among
the articles affected favorably (to the con
sumer) by the changes may be mentioned
groceries, the coarser grades of dry goods,
sashes, blinds, Ac. The specialties, such
as rice, cotton, guanos and phosphates,
were not acted upon, being left to the de
c is ion ot a conference of the representa
tives of the lines especially engaged in the'r
rransportation.
Tbe Cutter Crawford.
This vessel has not yet left the waters
of tbe Cape Fear, but is at anchor in
the stream opposite the Soathera por
tion of the city. She is detained here,
we learn, sinee the arrival ef the Colfax,
waiting for a boat which has been sent for
her use, but which is now aboard the
Benefactor, which has been delayed in
her arrival by the breaking of a crank pin
on her passage out. The Benefactor will
probably be here on Thursday and
the Crawford will then take her
departure for her regular station at
Key West, Fla. During her stay in our
waters, the officers and crew of the
Crawford have made many friends by
their gentlemanly and courteous bearing,
and they will leave with the best wishes cf
our people.

The Zodiacal Light.
The Zodiacal Light has been unusually
brilliant during many evenings in Feb
ruary its vivid coioiiug making the sur
rounding heavens dartc iu comparison.
This interesting phenomenon may be seen
on any clear, moonless evening in March
It b3comei visible about an hour after
suuset, as a co.uinu of soft white light,
the base of the cone resting on the part
of the horizon where the sun went down,
and the apex reaching to the Pleiadc3.
The soft glow of tha mysterious light
differs from every other appearance in
the sky,-and no words can describe the
etherial delicacy, tha filmy texture and
softened brilliancy of this celestial visi
tor, as strangely incomprehensible a3 it is
exquisitely beautiful.
Influenza and Pneumonia
Many of our eastern counties have
been visited the roeent winter with a
severe form of these diseases and they
continue to prevail. Pneumonia has been
generally of a high type and quite fatal,
influenza or catarrhal fever has been un
usually prevalent in this city and in the
surrounding counties, and has often run
into pneumonia. Even when not com
plicated with inflammation of the lungs
it has, as a general rule, been painful,'
obstinate and persistent, demanding very
decided treatment, as physicians assure
us. The severe winter has been prolific
of these catarrhal troubles and inflamma
tory affections of the lungs to an unusual
degree, and of rheumatism also. Seldom
have we had in this mild climate such
sudden and marked alternations of tem
perature. One day cold and the next
mild or even warm the effect has been
injurious to health, and caused much
sickness.
The Revenue cutter Colfax Her
officers and Improvements.
The overhauling of the Revenue Cutter
Colfax has made her almost a new craft.
She is now a very handsome and attractive-looking
steamer in her new suit and
her apartments are very fine. She is 175
feet over all, and 16S feet on her, water
line. Her Captain's quarters are superbly
fitted up with all modern improvements.
The wardroom of the officers is a perfect
beauty ; each officer is supplied with a
separate state-room, fitted up with an eye
to comfort, utility and beauty. In her en
gine room there has been a very great
change, and the improvements there are in
keeping with the generally improved condi
tion otjthe vessel. Her cylinder is four
inches larger than the old one and is sup
plied with a new condenser,( surface and jef
combined). The boiler Is an improved one
of the Scotch type and is larger than the
one formerly used. The engine, machin
ery, etc., were taken out of tbe vessel,
raised two feet and replaced. The Col
fax's wheels are two feet larger than the
ones taken off her, tbe present ones
measuring twenty-two feet in diamater.
The vessel is now supplied with a new
chart room and the wheel-house, which
has been enlarged, opens into it. In going
to Delaware the "old" Colfax made eight
knots an hour, but in eoming back the
"new" Colfax made ten and one-half
xnots, upder exactly the same cir
cumstances as regards the weather and
wind, but she laboredunder the disadvant
ages of green hands and new machinery
or else she would have made quicker time.
The consumption of coal is the same
as formerly. The officers of the ship at
present are Captain, Fraok Barr; First
Lieutenant, Fred Hunger; Third Lieuten
ant, Jno. U. Rhodes; Chief Engineer, M.
T. Chevers; Second Assistant Engineer, E
B. Weber. The Colfax is short handed
as to her officers, but Capt. Barr will be
supplied with his compliment in a short
time. The citizens of Wilmington were
delighted to welcome Capt. Barr and bis
officers back to the bosom of the Cape
Fear and sand hills of the old town. The
Review hopes they will live long and
prosper and sends these good wishes
down in a jug of the Rock Spring water.
