than the impractical suggestions of the
dreaming theorists, there is much in it
that cannot fail to interest the thoughtful
reader, no matter what occupation he fol
lows. The contents are var ied and panic
ularly suited to the work of the month.
The Planter has some of the ablest con

Carelessness In Closing f laces of
Business. J
tl t Ii ! j 'Tit IJ a' ' ',
Night before- last there was a robbery
committed pn North Water street and
goods to the Talus of $100 purloined from
the proprietor of the store.
- At the same tine a store immediately
across the street from whsre this robbery
was committed was found open and the
poHceman on that teat was compelled to
leave his post to go and notify the
proprietor of the open store to come down
and lock his store. It is possible that
the robbery of the store across the way
was committed while the policeman was
absent. Last night again three mere
places of business were found open and
theMayorthereatens hereafter that he will
publish in the daily papers of the city
the name of each establishment found
open at night by the police. He hopes in
this way to break up that carelessness
which some store keepers and elerks have
indulged in for some time of goiagoff with
out examining the fastenings of their doors
and windows before leaving for the night
Borax Washing latere sting to the
Ladies.
Our lady readers wbo hare not tested
the magic properties of borax, says an
exchange, have been losing a great help
and comfort. If once used, you will
never be without; a bottle cn your toilet
table. It removes the stain and dirt from
the hands better than soap, and at the
same time softens and smooths the skin.
It is splendid for washing the hair, and
will, without injury, cleanse brushes and
combs in a few moments.
For washing purposes it saves both
soap and labor. It will extract the dirt
from articles of delicate texture without
rubbing, it being necessary to put tbe
articles in a solution of borax over night,
and will need only to be rinsed in the
morning. Two tablespoonfult of pulver
ized borax dissolved in a quart of water,
to which water be added to cover a pair
of blankets, will, cleanse them, beautiful
ly. It alao saves great labor in washing
paints. Tis said to drive away ants and
roaches if sprinkled on the shelves of safes
or pantries.

Found Open.
The front door of the job office of Mr.
S. G. Hall was fomd open tnis mornii g
by a round man of the police force. Mr. H.
is confident that his door was securely
locked la?t night. The back door cf the

is missing from the building, but we im
agine the w-jiild-be tbkf was so exaspera

pounds of typi before he could get over his

somewhere else than to a printing office
for plunder.

From Mr. John W. Collins, mate of tbe

we learn that on Sunday morning early,
when off the Capes of Delaware, they
passed a yawl boat with center board

material belonging to a boat or vessel.
The bottom of iho boat above mentioned
was painted green. The steamer was bear

The New Certificates.
The four per cent certificates, now on
sale at the Postoffiae here, sre being
rapidly taken. Col. Brink says that they
are going oft now at (be rate of five hun
dred a month, but that this number will
probably dwindle dowa after a while to
a steady demand of from one hundred and
fifty to two bun J red. It is certainly an
excellent investment for poor men who
lare trying to lay by a little for a rainy
day as the certificates draw interest stead
ily all of the time. We would rather
hare them than to have their value in
gold.
Be Carefullof Four Tin-Ware-Housekeepers
are warned against "tin"
vessels where an alloy ot lead and tin has
been used by scampish makers to coat the
sheet-iron plate. The alloy is readily acted
upon by acids, and salts of lead are thus
introduced into the food. In Michigan
several cases of paralysis agitans have been
traced to this sort of poisoning, and it has
been discovered that children have died of
meningitis, fits and paralytic affections
caused by drinking milk kept iu sueh
vessels. Analysis of a large number of
specimens of tin plate used in culinary
articles showed the presence of an alley
with lead in almost every instance, and
often in large quantities, and it is assert
ed that a large proportion of the tinned
wares in the market is unfit for use on
this account.

TO TE ARMY OF XOBTHEBN VIRGINIA
Headq.uartkrsAkmy Northern
V IRGIMIA
April 10oh, 1865
After four years of arduous service,
marked by unsurpassed courage and forti
tude, tho Army of Northern Virginia has
been compelled to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources. I need not tell
the survivors of so many hard-fought bat
tles, who have remained steadfast to the
last, that I have consented to this result
from no distrust of them; but, feeling that
valor and devotion could accomplish noth
ing that could compensate for the loss
that would have attended the continua
tion of the contest, I determined to avoid
the useless sacrifice of those whose past
services have endeared tham to tbsir
countrymen. By the terms of the agree
ment, officers and men can return to their
homes, and remain there until exchanged.
You will take with you the satisfaction
that proceeds from the consciousness of
duty faithfully performed; and I earnestly
pray that a mercifulGod will extend to you
his blessing and protection. With an un
ceasing admiration of your constancy and
devotion to your country, asd a grateful
remembrance of your kind and generous
consideration of myself, 1 bid you an af
fectionate farewell.

IN MEMORIAM.
Inasmuch as the Corporation of the City of
Wilmington has been, by the hand of death,
recently deprived cf the services of one cf its
important officers, the Mayer and board of
Aldermen den e to place upon recsrd their
testimonial of nis valuable services to the City
of Wilmington as its attorn y, of his genial
disposition as a friend, of hia sterling quali
ties aa a man, ot his ability and integrity at
a lawyer, of hia intrepid courage as a soldier,
and of bis public spirit as citizen.
Col. WILLIAM 6TfcWa..T DEVANE
was born in tbe c unty of New Hanover,
Mareh 'Htb, 1828. Adopting the profession
of the law, he wa a stadent under the late
Chief Justice Pearson for two yea s, at Ri'ih
mond BUI, in the county ot Yadkin, and was
admitted to practice at the Bar n the year
ifc53. He immediately entered upon tho
practice f hi profession, and formed a law
partnership vriin Hon. A A. McKoy, now
one of the !-uperior Court Judges of the
Htate. Tbis law firm continued to en
joy the emolument and honors of
a successful and lucrative practice, un
til it was dissolved ao ut April, 1861, at
which time Col. Devane entered into the ser-
vic of the C'-nfederate ta'es Government.
His intrepidity, his faithfulness, bis fidelitv,
in fact his entire record at once bonorabie
and brilliant, during the four w earj years of
war, is a part ot tbe bistory of bis native
btate, North Carolina
In 1866 Col. Devane took up his residence
in Wilmington, whsre he spent the remainder
of his life engaged in the practie of ths law
in partnership with bis brother, Majur D. J.
Devana. In the year 1868, waen political
stri e was at its highest, he was .hoaen by bis
part as i s staadard D-arer.in the contest for
tbe honorable position of Judge of the Supe
rior Court of the i bird J udieial Dii tr ict, hav
ing ss his opponent the Hon. D. L. Kanell,
who was the Bepnbiicaa nominee for the
same position.
This is hat an imperfect outline of the ser
vices which Ool. Devane has rendered to tbe
State of orthCarolna and to the pe ple of t ;e
Houth. His int ep d eourag - bota as a soldier
and a eittzea, bis eharntiiur social qualities,
bis generous teart, were attributes that en
deartd him to all with whom he came ia eon
tact; and we, the Mayor and Beard of Alder
men of the City of Wilmington, apprecia
ting hit services to the co: p nation, feel that
we are paying bat a fain t tribute to bis mem
ory in thus placing toe abore upai rtcj d;
we therefore
Reso'.ve, That we deeply deplore the death
of Col. William H. Devane, and we dt ect, as
a testimonial of onr grief, that the City
Cle-k and Treasurer be instructed to set
apart a page of the records for the inscrip
tion of tr.ee. resolutions.
Kesolved, That we trader to the family of
the deceased our heartfelt sympathy in their
sad bereavement.
Keaolveft, That a eoey of these proceedings
be t a-ismi tted to the fanul.v of the deceased,
and aisb to the eitxjapers fr pab'ication.
