Daily
City Court.
A Norwegian sailor who was on a slight
tare last night was arrested and conveyed
to the lock up. This m:rning he wai
arraigned npon the charge of disorderly
conduct. The evidence iu the case given
by officer YVuebae was rather amusing
when the officer stated that the defendant
exclaimed that this was a free country add
he could do as he pleased; evidently this
nju.it be the Norwegian's first visit t.
America. When this argument failed
with the policeman, the hilarious ion of
Neptune declared he was an officer of a
chip aud would do as he pleased, but
here the subject of King 0-icar was
cheeked by the Knight of the Star and
informed that if he were a king he could
not behave disorderly in the streets of
this city without arrest. The Mayor
pro temp., imposed a fine of $5.
Handy Williams and George Anderson,
twe colored men, were brought into Court
charged with an affray on the street this
morning The former had the skin on
the knuckles cn his left hand broken and
bleeding from a too close contact with the
last named defendant's teeth, and the last
mentioned individual came into court
spitting blood, the resnlt of a too close
contact with his antagonist's fist. His
Honor turned them over to Justice Hall
for trial.
It
is the Early Bird that Catches
the Worm "
That successful merchant and skillful
cultivator of the soil, Mr. William B.
Hocutt, of Rocky Point, Pender county,
is about ready to commence shipping
vegetables to the Northern markets from
his highly cultivated and extensive gar.
dens. We have just received from him
a fine bunch ef very large radishes, which
we hardly think can be well beat
by any of our early truckers. Those who
reach the markets first with vegetables of
course receive the best prices and make
the meet money. Mr. Hocutt, we learn,
goes extensively every year into raising
almost every variety of garden products
for distant markets. There is no county
in the State superior to Pender for horti
cultural and agricultural purposes. Rocky
Point is not without grounds for claim
ing to be the garden spot ef the State in
rich lands, enterprising men, pretty wo
men and fat babies.
Thief ia the House.
A gentleman residing on Dook, be
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, was
aroused from his slumbers on Monday
night by a noise in the passageway
as he thought, bnt in getting up and
stealthily creepiag out of his chamber he
discovered no one. In a few seconds,
however, he distinctly heard the noise in
a room at the end of the passage. With
lantern and pistol in hand he entered the
room when the thief made a rush for the
door and passed him before he was hardly
aware of it. The house cat was the
thief, which had taken a ham-bone from
the safe and the gnawing of the bone on
the floor mads the noise. If you want a
fight on yonr hands just say, "scat ! ' to
that man , and your life would not be
worth a Penny.
Pass This Around.
Mr' Nathan R. Scott and wife, respec
table citizens, and advanced in years, died
a few days ago at their residence, Riley's
Creek, in Pender county. They have been
married over twenty years, and left three
grown children one daughter and two
sons. The wife died two days before the
husband. From the day of their mar
riage up to the day of the death of the
wife these two devoted people had never
been separated a single night from the
same roof. The daughter had never
slept but one night away from the pater
nal roof. The sons had never been absent
a single night from the household up to
the death of their parents. If any county
in or oat of North Carolina can do as
well as this, or furnish a parallel case,
let us know the county 'and the case that
equals this in family unity and affection.
Wharf sit Fort Caswell.
Mr. Geo. Myers, agent, and Capt.
Earper, of the steam yacht Passport, are
about to supply a long felt need to this
community. They will caase to be
erected a handsome wharf at Fort Caswell
so ttha the patrons of their boat can land,
and walk through the old Fort, and in
warm weather indulge ia a sarf bath.
The lumber for the wharf was taken
down on the Passport this morning and
the work of erection will be commenced
immediately.
Review.
Pbllomathean Society.
The seventh anniversary of this organi
zition waa held it the hall of the Knights
Of Pythias, opposite the City Hall, last
night. During the exercises an inter
esting and spirited debate, in which
Messrs. T W. Strange and T. H. Mc
Koy, Jr., were participants, was enjoyed
by the Society Manin S. Wil lard,
Esq , President of the Society, read an
interesting paper which was listened to
with attention and profit. Messrs. J.
Hubert Smith, John J. Fowler and B. Q
Empie ware appointed a Committee on
Resolutions.
Barariary.
Mr. W T. Costin, who resides on the
corner of Sixth and Nun streets, was
awakened about 2 o'clock on Monday
morning last, by hearing some one move
ing around in an adjoining apartment.
He arose and started to see what occasion
ed the noise when a man dashed through
the passage and out of a window at tLe
rear of the house which had been previ
ously opened. Mr Costin then made a
search to see what was missing when he
found that a trunk had ken taken. Th s
he found soon after on the top of a wood
pile in an adjoining lot where it had been
placed by the thief for removal. It had
not been opened, and consequently there
was no serious loss During yesterday
Mr. C. secured the window by nailing
peices of board across it, bu1; last night.
either the same or some other would-be
thief attempted again to rob him, and so
far succeeded as to pry off the boards
whon he wj,3 frightened away.

U. M. 8. Pinafore.
The Holman troupe which is to play
here to-morrow night is favorably spoken
of bj nearly all of our exchanges, but in
some few instances we have noticed there
was some little disappointment on the
part of those who were not familiar with
the Pinafore.
The opera is simply au extravaganza,
in which there are some hits at the Eng
lish Government and Her Majesty's navy,
and a mixture of sense and nonsense.
The music is of a peculiar and striking
style, and through the opera are inter
spersed a number of very pretty airs and
choruses.
The Portsmouth Enterprise, speaking of
tho performance on Monday night in Nor
folk, says:
Pinafore last night was a palpable and
most decided hit, in every feature that
could make success, which was fully
demonstrated by the large audience pres
ent, who expressed their de!ight most em
phatically. The cast was super-excellent,
the choruses and orchestra in full accord,
and delightful harmony, and the solos
were well rendered without exception.
The stage setting showed up to full
advantage, quite a novelty within itself.
The house was crowded to the full meas
ure of its capacity, with many standing.
A sharp tongue is the only edged tsol
which grows keen with constant use.
Col.MacRae ia Robeion.
Our talented townsman, Col. Duncan
K. Mac R ae has been delighting the
citizens of Robeson with his lecture on
Genius and Taleat, which was delivered
in the Court House at Lumber tot on last
Monday night. Here is what the Robe
sonian has to say about it:
Col. D. K. MacRae delivered his lecture
on Genius and Talent in the Court House
in this town last Monday night. Owing
to the very inclemeot weather the at
tendance wss not as large as it would
otherwise have been but we were deligted
to note that the intelligence of the county
and tewn was well represented. The
lawyers left their clients an 1 case1, His
honor Judge McKoy, Solicitor Mclver,
all the visiting lawyers and nearly all the
local bar being in attendance besides
ministers, physicians and other men of
literary attainment. The lecture is
certainly the grandest production to
which we have ever listened, and we re
gret exceedingly that the press of other
matters would exclude a fitting tribute,
even if we were capable of writing it. Col.
MacRae is a magnificent orator and we
hope will consent to lecture again during
the week.

Bad Sidewalk,
We have been again requested to call
the attention of the authorities to the
miserab'e condition of the sidewalk on
the south side of Chestnut, bstween Front
and North Water streets. Wa hope it
miy receive attention, for it is certainly
in a bad condition for traveling npon in

We spoke yesterday of the School Law
recently passed by both houses of the
Legislature which failed to become a law
because it was not signed by the presid
ing officers of the two houses. We are
glad to learn, as we do from the Raleigh
Observer, that this defect will probably
be remedied. The Observer has this to
say on the subject:
Borne uneasiness has been manifested
about the new School Law, which has
been found since adjournment of the Gen
eral Assembly to be without the sign.
tures ef the Speaker of tho House and
President of the Senate. The law faded
to be signed by these officers in the :usy
moments preceding adjournment on Fri
day when very many laws were signed.
Gov. Robinson was in town until yester
day afternoon, and Speaker Moring, who
is a near neighbor, came to this city for
consultation. They decided not to affix
their signatures until their right to do o
after adjournment of the Assembly has
been thoroughly discussed by gnt eran
learned in the law and, if necessary, de
cided by the highest court en a case made
up. No inconvenience will result from
the course adopted, as their signatures
may he a nixed as lawfully one month as
one hour after adjournment.
To us, who are not learned in the law,
there seemed no reason to doubt the
legality of signature on yesterday. To
us, also it does not seem that the signa
tures of the presiding officers are neces
sary to the enactment of a law. The
Constitutional provision is : MAll bills
and resolutinns of a legislative nature
shall be read three times in each House,
before they pzsa into laws; and shall be
signed by the presiding officers of both
Houses." The school bdl was read three
times in each House and passed into a
law, as is authenticated by the Journals of
each House and the signatures of the
members of the Enrollment Committee.
We do not think that those who made
the Constitution of 18G8. however awk
wardly they expressed themselves, in
tended to give a practical veto power to
the two Speakers, nor do we think that
the language used gives'such a pawer.
As to the efficacy of signatures after ad
journment of tae Legislature, we have
heard that a somewhat eimiliar case has.
been adjudicated in Louisiana. We could
not find any record of it in such books as
were within reach last evening.
We do not think that there will be any
trouble about the School Law, though we
should not be overmuch concerned about
it in any event. The changes from the
old Uw are good, but it may be doubted
if they are worth the additional $30,000
to $40,000 of laxes levied.
We have b.en requested to b'.ate that
there is a large pile of trash and dirt at
the corner of Fifth and Princess streets
which the authorities are politely request
ed to hive removed at the r earlioft con
