The Daily Review JOSH. T. JAMES. Ed. and Prop WILMINGTON. N. C. MONDAY, MARCH 24, It-Vt VIEWS AND REVIEW S. A St. Louis undertaker advertises that he has the "most comfortable" htarse in the country. On the last day of the Carnival at Rome nonewspaper3 were published, journalists and 'printers having voted to take a holi day. It was the whim of a St. Paul man to le married in white, and he went to the church, on a cold d iy, clothed in a suit of linen. Among the various species of oranges now raised in Florida is the small, thin skinned, delicate mandorino, from the Inland of Malta, bo highly prized on Eur opean tables. An old nickel mine has been discover ed in the town ct Dracut, Mass!, ui.ar Lowell, which was originally opened about 200 years ago. The resemblance of nickjel to silver probably deceived "the firfet workers and the mine was abandoned. The value of r.iekel was no? kuuwu be fore 1751. The old shaft w-w forty-three feet deep. A company has recenty sunk it sixty-one feet and found nickel enough to pay, and proposes to operate the mine. Elihu Bttrritt's will gives about 8,000 to relatives and charities, and concludes as follows: "Having the property which a thus disposed of kind Providence has put in my possesion, in w-i-y which I hope may testily my gratitude for such a gift, I bequeath to1 this, my native town, the undying affection of a s n who held its esteem and special tokeB of con sideration above all the honor which he received elsewhere." It is generally supposed that "pen que" tobacco id a peculiar plant and can only be grown in St. James Parish, Louisiana. This is a mistake. It is merely subjected to a peculiar treatment. While the plant is growing the smaller leaves near the top are stripped off, and the lower leaves attain a prodigious" size in consequence. These are then taken and pressed for some weeks without being allowed to dry thoroughly. Perique is largely used in the manufacture of cigarettes. It Is sa'd that careless legislation in the internal revenue bill makes it legal for the owners of large stocks of manu factured tobacco to export it to some for eign country, receive a drawback at the rate of twenty-four cents per pound and reimport it, paying to the government a tax of sixteen cents, thus making a net profit of eight cents per pound less" the expense of the operation. Secretary Sher man thinks that uulesa-the law is changed the cost to the government will be between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. During the recent carnival in Home the King and Queen studiously avoided the Corso, though previously they had always been present one or two days. A balcony was taken for them, but the Queen only came one day, and the little Prince occupied it chiefly. Another noticeable fact was that the cook a cos tume, usually such a favorite, was this year entirely neglected, on account of the recent attempt on the King. (Passanante is a cook.) The protection of the mask was made use of this year for a good deal of thieving. One of the most ruinous habits of the Russian peasants is displayed at marriage celebrations. A peasant, to celebrate the marriage of his sons, procures twenty five gallons of whiskey, to get money for whioh he sells his horse, cow, or pigs, and is ready to become a pauper. lie cannot resist tne practice, ior custom requires that the population of the' village, men, women, and children, must get drunk. A rich peasant, at the marriage festival, will procure one nurareu gallons ot whiskev. and the neighboring villages are invited Lo take part in the carousal. At the close of last month, during a terrible storm at Venice, the square of St. Mark's, the piazzetta, and principal streets were completely inundated by the high tide. A large number of people w:re held captive in restaurants end in small by streets so elevated as net to be covered . by water, while in the flooded parts masked icvellers-wadlng about bare-legged, noisy urchins and porters conveying on their packs women fresh frosa bails aud dressed in all sorts of finery and toggery, presented an amusing spectacle. Travel on the canals was suspended, as the gon dolas could not paes under the bridges, and considerable damage was caused on al sides. "Alcohol is never a food.frsays Dr. Wil lard Parker in a recent article. There is a nutritious element in fermented liquors, be concedes, bat it amounts to little prac tically. Tbe only injury possible from pure fermented beverages is from excessive use ; but "so one may get the gout by eating to excess of beefsteak, or kidney difficulty by eaUng too much meat and taking too little exercise. Bat tbe great harm both to the individual and to society comes from th3usef dis'.ilted liquors, in which alcohol is extracted by an artificial process, and used separately from tbe com bination in which God and nature have put it." Dr. I'o ker will not concede any possible good" i'i ibn u-4e of distilled drink It added nothing to the substance of the body. On the contrary, :t weakens force. It acts as an irritant, nd so diminishes force by compelling the body to put forth efioits in order to get rid of the intruder." The average life of those who eitber prac tise total abstinence or confine themselves to the use of fermented, liquors is estimated by the writer at 04, while that of intem perate persons, "those who habitually drink alcoholic liquors, using them not merely at meals, but at different hours during the 'day," is put down at only 32. A Phrliadelphia audience has distin guished itself by sensible behavior when a panic seemed inevitable. The Chestcut Street Iheatre was densely crowded Smoke poured up from the cellar, filling the auditorium. Somebody cried "Fire,' and ever body. stood up.

I DFADLY WEAPONS IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH. The recent cold-blooded murder of Mr. Alston,- by Mr. Cox, in Atlanta, Ga., has very naturally led to a good deal of newspaper comment. All dep'ore the tragedy and all denounce the act aa un justifiable in the last degree and without provocation. At least every Southern journal has done to. Home of the intense ly partisan jounalb of the .North, how ever, have taken occasion to make capi tal out of it, by trying to establish as a fact, that such acts are not only common in our section of the couutry, but; that they are emphatically a characteristic of the people of the South; that every dis pute or even difference of opiuion is set tled by the pistol or bowie knife. It af fords a splendid opportunity for the tirade of cheap abuse which a certain class ever have delighted to shower; upon us. Those journals would convoy tbe idea to their readers that every man in the South was a walkiug arsenal, and that at the least opposition or antagonism, it would be brought into requisition as a matter of course. We know that there is a spirit existing among certain classes at the North which is so much the creature of prejudice in it feelings towards our peo ple, that such statements in the public journals, are read as a sort of political gospel and mentally swallowed as the choicest kind of partisan pabulum. In the prejudice, jealousy and even hatred which exists among these people towards the South, any single act" of horror is made to appear as a characteristic of our whole people. They look with blind eyes to the scenes of brutal bloodshed which occur in their own localities, in their zeal to fiud a crime to charge upon us. N ow, we know that this is all wrong and does tbe peop le of the South a great injustice, but as we have been treated to such doses for so long- that ."the Memory of man runneth not to the contrary," we are the better prepared to endure tbe vile slander. It is too true that in the minds of many Northern people, the South is a Nazareth from which no good can possibly eime, and when the news of an isolated instance of crime reaches them, which has been perpetrated South of the Mason and Dixon line, there is a confirmation of their belief. They will not, nor do they wish to, look into tbe record of crime in their own Northern cities. Should they do so, they would find that in some of the more populous of them, there would be a dark and damning array to confront them. We have no hesitation in making the as sertion, aud we are , very confident that Lcriurinal statistics would sustain us, that in the city of Cnieago ailone, rthere have been more crimes : committed within the pist twelve months, of an attrocibus and brutal character, than there nave been in the entire State of Georgia. As it is in that city, so it is in proportion to the pop ulation, m otfeer cities, it is a fact that the pistol and bowie -knife is as common to the people ot those cities as it -is among .on: own, uu.i we are firmly convinced that they are carried in the North to a larger oxtent, :n proportion to the population, than they are among Oun own. But whether the South or the North have a preponderance in the custom oi carrying personal arms is a matter of but little importance. Ther Us no need to carry them at all. There is not one in stance out of a hundred in which they eoulu not oe much better left at home. If a man Is peaceably inclined they are no evidence of courage, bat, on the contrary, they betray cowardice and distrust of his fellow-men. If he is inclimed to be dis putative, aggressive or opinionated in his disposition their presence betray a confes sion that when weakness of intellect shall ail to cony ince, their use, shall be brought into requisition to finish the argument In whatever light we view the subject th custom of carrying concealed weapons is more dangerous than nsefnl ; mors frequently doe damage than it does good ; has resulted in infinitely mere of evil than of blessing, and has caused shame, horror, sorrow nd re morse in a hundred instances where it has brought one of h noror enviable dis tinction. The best means of self-defense; tbe most certain road to tbe respect oi those whose good opinion would be valu able r desirable, is a civil tongue and a poUtc and coartecus demeanor. With these and a fixd integrity no young man has aught to fear. With these he goes out into the busy world to grapple with iU difficulties and obstacles with an in vulnerable armor, and without these all the arm orient in the uuiverse will not win to him the respect of a desirable re cognition. WASHINGTON LETTER- Wa hington. D. C, Mch. 22, 1879. Yesterday's House proceedings were of xtrerne interest. Mr Stephens, of Georgia, made an impassioned and veiy eloquent appeal for relief for the people through legislation at this see sior. of Congress. Tuose who heard him Bay that no more forcible speech has ever been made in the House. He is not wholly in sympathy with the East ern democracy in regard to financial matters, and his remarks were not such as to commend themselves to that portion of the party, but it will rio any Democrat or Republican good to read them, whether they influence his belief or not. A large number of oopies will be printed for distribution. Mr Springer somewhat surprised the House by a defence of the super yispr law. He admitted that it needed amendment, but object ed to its repeal. Probably not more than half a dozen Democrats in the House agree with Mr Springer on this subject, but un for unately the party has not a half dozen votes to spaio in the House caucus yesterday an attempt was made to pass a resolution restricting legislation at this session to subjects voted on at the last session. The subject was referred to a commit tee which, after conference with the Senate Committee, will report an order of business. The Senate did not, of course, fol low the House in reelecting its old officers. Yesterday it elected Mr. Burch, of Tenn,, Secretary; Col. Biight, of Ind, Sergeaut-at Arms; Ex Congressman Shober, Chief Clerk; Eaiiey Peyton, of Virginia, Executive Clerk and Rev. J J. Bullock, of Vir ginia, Cnuplain. It was not decided whether or not all the lesser Senate officers should be displaced, but it if, probable most of them will be. The Senators are given Chairman ships of important Committees as f ol lows: Privileges and Elections, Stmls bury; Foreign , Relations, Eaton; Fi nance, Bayard; Appropriations, Davis of W. Va; Commerce, Gordon; Manu factures, Grover; Agrionlture, Johns ton; Military Affairs, Randolph; Naval Affairs, McPher son; Judiciary, Thur roan; Post Offices, Maxey; Public Lands; McDonald; Indian Affairs, Coke, Pensions, Withers; Claims, Cocker ill ;Patents, Kernac; Territories, Garland ;Paiiroads, Ransom, Mines ana ) Mini PR Hereford: Revision of Laws. Wallace; Education and Labor, Bailey; Civil Service and Retrenchment But ler; Printing, Whyte; Library, Voer. hees; Improvement of the Mississippi Lamar. There are oth .r Committee. . of minor importance, of thrte of whi h Republicans, Edmunds, Conkling and Anthony are put at the head The Hous Committees have not yet been appointed by Speaker Randall, but will be early next week. The Oliver-Cameron ese here is de veloping a good deal of filth. Mrs. Oliver will not get damages for breach of promise from the Ex Senator if tbe line of defence succeeds. Bat Mr. Cameron's character is soiled by tbe evidence which breaks down the re puted widow and the public has no bias for either. The state of society in Washington is deplorable indeed if this case is a fair sample. Gurdqe. MOONSHINE. It is well named gait-money New York Commercial Advertisr.
