Alff Lodge L. of H. A lodge ef Knights of Honor, with thir ty three charters members, was organized iu Rockingham, Richmond co. , a tew days ago. Our informant states that the mem bership is composed of the best material of the town and that persons who were restricted of account on age from being beneficiary members have sent ia their applications as honorary members. The lodge numbers forty beneficiary and hou orary members. New lodge are being established in many portions of the State and in consequence thereof the member ship of the order is being rapidly increas ed. Why Letters are Detained. Our attention has been called te an article in the New York Sun explaining why letters are so frequently delayed in stead of going directly to the address. It is because the writers do not place the aames of States in the address. It should bijborne in mind that there are in the Uni ted States 7 Pbiladelphias, and of Brook lyns, 18; of Williamsburgs, 20; Balti more!, 5; Bostons, 10; Buffalos, 15; Bur lingtons, 17; Charlestons, 17; Chicogh, 4; Cincionatis, 7; Cleveland g; 10; Day tons 25; Detroits 15; Lowells, 15; Milwaukees, 3; Nasavilles, 14; Omahas, 5; Pittsburgh!, 8; Portlands, 14; Richmonds, 22; Spring fields, 25; St. Josephs, 15; St. Pauls, 12; Toledos, 7; Washingtons, 30; Wilmiag tons, 13,andk8 called Memphis and 4 called St. Louis. When these facts are considered it will be seen how necessary it always is to include the name of a State in the direction of a letter, a newspaper or a package. The Other Race Bees Offered. There was a little race on the river yes terday which was "not down on the bills" but which proved none the less interest ing because of its being impromptu. The steam tug Nyce challenged the Passport for a race from the Dram Tree to the Market Dock. The A'yce started ahead of the Passvort but the gao was soon w closed and the Passport glided by 1 e ehalleneer as cracefullv as a duck. The Nyce tried to get into the Passports sue tion but Captain Harper threw her stern around and backed water up against the little tug. During the short race there was evinced considerable interest on both boats The venerable agent of the Passport stepped down from his pinnacle of de corum, planted his feet on the horse pipes, waived the rim of his hat off and wore but two pocket handkerchiefs telling the Nyce good bye. Capt. Harper was at tending to business and chuckling in wardly over the 1 soft thing." Frank Wilkersoa, the Mate, had the crew sweeping the decks off to make the steamer lighter, and is willing to bet twelve months wages and his official po sition on the boat that they could beat the Nyce one mile and a half in a race from the Dram Tree to the Market dock. Engineer Ellenhaust was serene and placed his thumb on his nasal organ, wiggled his finders at the engineer of the Nyce and pronounced the parting words ta, ta. Gibbs, the cook, 6 red up the galley stove and in his con tortious got bis head rammed in a pot which was on the floor, while his legs described semi-circles on the wall. Frank Bryant, the silent man-on the- (quait r-deckwas supposed to have fallen overboard, but was finally discovered dancing the fisher's horn pipe on the rud der head, and helping the steamer along with a canoe paddle. After all of the cook's excitement in firing up the galley stove with flour, coffee and potatoes and placing wood and coal in the pots, the steam gauge of the Passport registered only twenty eight pounds. Her victory was owing grea ly to the decks being swept off and the work done by the canoe paddle in the hands ot the silent-man on-t he-quarter -deck, who had changed his base for the oorasioo. Some ot the imported dresses are entire ly without flounces or Review. FRIDAY, MAY 30, Repository and Reading Rooms. Capt. W. J. Po-t-sr, Missionary Colpor teur for the coast of North Carolina and Bahama Islands, has established a reading room and repository In Smithville, wLere newspapers and religions works will be ac cessiDte to tbos-e who wish to use tbein Capt. fitter will start out on his, work in a few days. Soe advertisement in another column. i Perilous Leap. A fin setter dog, which had been over looked and locked-up in the third story ot the Evans block, on Princess street probably at the meeting of the Red Men last evening, became hnngry and impa tient to-day and delioorately jumped from the window to the pavement below, distance of some thirty feet. He was not killed but one of his shoulders was badly fractured. Five minutes after he took the leap, his owner came down with the key of the room to look for him. The Lecture To-Night. An hour of rare intellectual enjoy ment is offered in the lecture which is to be delivered this evening by Gen. Colston on "Modern Egypt", a subject which there is no man West of the Atlantic who is more capable of handling than is he. During his term of service in the Khedive's army, Gen. Colston embraced the many opportunities presented to in form hionself fully as to the manners and customs of the people of that country and the v ew which he was enabled to sktt;h will be handsomely illustrated through the stereopticon. We bespeak for him a Urge and appreciative audience. A Very Narrow Escape. We have learned of a very narrow es cape from a terrible accident by Gen. It. L. Colston yesterday. He was in the Opera Houae at the time, engaged in geuerating gas which is to preform a part of the illustration of his lecture, when the retort exploded with fearful toroe, driving a piece ot the copper into the woodwork of the stage and igniting it, and inflicting some painful injuries en Gen. Colston's person. He was in his shirt sleeves at the time and his clothing was set ou fire but, fortunately, he had a bucket of water near at hand and at once put out the tire. Gen. Colston had just left the retort when the explosion occur red, otherwise he might have been knocked down and rendered senseless and, as he was the only person in the building, a serious disaster might have resulted. A it is, all is well. It was a truly Provi dential escape. Moonlight Excursion and Coucert- By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Cornet Concert Club propose on Monday evening nex to give a moonlight concert and excursion to Fort Fisher on the steam yacht Pass port. The Italian Band will furnish music for dancing and during the evening the fine male quartette will render some of their choicest pieces. Sufficient time will be allowed at Fort Fisher for prom enades on the beach and surf bathing, and toe committee have concluded to fur nish refreshments to those who want them. Everything which will be condu cive to the pleasure and comfort of the excursionists will be done, both by the committee and Capt. Harper, the justly popular commander of the Passport. Criminal Court. The majority of the time of the court was taken up this morning with the trial of Glasgow Hill, upon the charge of bur glary. The prisoner was ably represented by Messrs. E. S. Martin and T. W. Strange, who were the counsel appointed by the court to conduct the defense. Mr. Solicitor Moore conducted the prosecution in behalf of the State. After the con clusion of the argument by the counsel, His Honor Judge Meares delivered the charge in his usual lucid style and pre sented the law bearing upon the case in the most comprehensive manner to the jury. The jury then retired and alter agreeing among themselves returned with a verdict of larceny. Judge Meares passed sentence upon the prisoner of ten years, at hard labor, in the State peuiten - tiary. Judgment was taken in a numb.r of set fa eases, after which the court ad journed between 1 and 2 o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Two colored miliu y companies from Fayettenlle, forming a part of the Firth Battalion, S. C 8. G., arrived bere last A. P. Hurt, and take part in the exercises tnis afternoon. NO. 97 Sudden Death at the Porcell Home The inmates of tie Purcell House were much shocked this morning en learn ing of the sudden demise of Monkey Wdker. She has been an attache of the Purcell iiouae for the last eleven years, was always faithlul and trunty, was wide ly known aud highly esteemed, and nat urally leaves behind a host of sbrrowlul friends. She was the mother of quite a number of children, but most of them are oft in different portions of the country. Two of the younger ones, however, were with her ia her last moments, and soothed "and comforted her. Requiescmt in pace Although a dog, she was, as H. C. says "high toned and res pec' ab e " The Interest Divided. Two little colored boys, J. J Wi'smi and Mike Pedeu by name, got into an altercation down on the wharf yesterday during the progress of the boat race atd just after the fleet had rounded the buoy the first time, which for a time divided the interest of the large crowd assem bled on the wharf,about one half of which the part composed of small boys, was di vided between the contest between the boats on the river and that between the two little pugilists on shore. The police, however, arrested the belligerents and took them to the Guard House. This morning Wilson was discharged, but Mike Peden, a notorious little scoundrel, was held and will remain in the cell a few days longer to feast upon bread and wa ter. As has been stated by us already, the Sunday School of the First Presbyterian church will have an excursion to morrow to Lake Waccamaw. Ample arrange ments have been made to assure a pleas- ant day to all who may go. The cars will leave Union Depot at 8 36 A. M aud return by 7 o'clock. Ihe Pasaport on her excursion down the river to-morrow will stop near the old site of Fort Fisher and allow those who wish to disembark to throw a cork and line for a few sheep head and in the afternoon will return and take all the sheep-head on board again. Ihe family excursion given at the Hamme place by the Lutheran Sunday School to. day, was well attended, judging by the number who nave gone up from the city. They are all expected to return here by sunset. Mr. R. T. Henderson, of Pender coun ty, has located in the city as an idspector of naval stores and will give prompt and close attention to all business entrusted to his care. . Don't forget the Family Excursion to be given on the Passport to-morrow, by Prof. Agostini. The stores on Market and Front streets ill close their doors, , commencing on Monday next, at 7 o'clock.
