Jno. Williams, a stammering daikey,
who was arrested last night for disorderly

hood of the Long House, 'was arraigned
this morning before the Mayor. He was
aiso fined for carryiug a concealed wea
pon in the shape of a razor. On account
of the last named offence Mayor Fishblate
dealt pretty severely with the defendant
and required him to pay $20 line or go
to the cell for twenty days. The eulprit
was furnished lodging.

Proposed Change of Base
Where are we all going this Summer
is now the all absorbing topic iu some
social circles in this city? The answer is
that a few, or probably a great majority
of those who leave at ail will tramp off to
the Sound, others by steamer to Smith
ville, some by the railroads to the moun
tains and still a few more to the big
"nor'ard" while some of us may "go to
glory" per hap?,while still a few, a very
few, others may go to fed 1 i.e. i
they haven't already gone there. For
ourselves, well, we aro satisfied with this
climate tor the present.
Almost a Fire.
There was a narrow escape from a dan
gerous accident to persons and a con
flagration last night, about 8 o'clock, at
the residence of Mr. Alexander Sholar, on
Fifth, between Church and Nun streets.
While the family were at supper a kero
sene lamp exploded, but fortunately it
had been placed at some distance from
where any one was sitting and no one was
injured. The fragments of the lamp were
gathered up and thrown in the street, and
with a few moments of very lively work
the flames were extinguished, and but
little damage was dons, ihough a big
scare was created, as might be expected.
Be very careful of kerosene, for its price
eternal vigilance and 20 cents a gal
lon.
A Close Schedule Wanted.
We are reminded by a friend on the
line of the O. C. R. W. that the schedule
now in effect on that road doesn't "ge
very well with that run by the steamer
Passport. The train trom the West ar
rives here at 9:50 am. arjd the fassjort'x
hour for sailing is 9 o'clock. Even on
occasions of excursion parties the steamer
rarelv leaves her dock later that 9:30. It
would be to the advantage of all parties
ml
we think, that a close schedule should be
made between the steamer aud the trains,
so that parties from along the line of
the C. C. it. W. who may desire) to take a
trip to the forts "may leave their homes in
the morning and return to them the same
night.
Honor the Scissors.
Some people, ignorant of what good
editiug is, imagine the getting up of te-
lected ma' ter to be the easiest work in
the world to do, whereas it is the nicest
work that is done on paper. If they see
the editor wi h scissors in his hand they
are sure to say: Eb! that s the way you
get up original matter?' accompanying
their new and witty question with an
idiotic wink or smile. The facts are, t hat
the interest, the variety and the tiseful
ness of a paper depend in no small de
gree upon its selected matter, and few
men are capable of the f position who
would not themselves be able to write
many of the articles they select. A sen
sible editor desires considerable selected
rnattcr, because he knows that one mind
cannot make as good a paper as five or
six.
A famous place to catch the sheephead
now is down on the rocks at the works
at New Iulet. A party of gentlemen
v ent the.e yesterday and returned last
evening with a good supply. The Pas
port took them down in the morning and
brought them back in the afternoon.
Mothers will grow weary and sigh
over the baby's troubles when Dr. Bull's
Baby Syrup would relieve the child and
thereby give the mother rest.
We learn that there are quite a num
ber of rafts of timber in the Cape Fear

The colored Methodists of this city and
vicnity commence a camp-meeting to-day
at a point about 9 miles below the city

The Lecture Last Evening.
An audience, more respectable in ap
preciation than in numbers, attended last
evening, the lecture before the young
gentlemen of the Pnilomatbean Literary
Society, by that eminent scholar, Prof.
Von Jasmund. The theme selected was
"Bismark and Germany" and we are as
sured that those who weie not there missv
el a genuine treat.
