One Excuse for Eating Onion.
Those who are fond of onions and the
number is legion in almost every com
munity, notwithstanding they peHsteutlj
decline to eat them such persons will
find an excuse for the habit in the follow-
ng from an English medical journal: 'A
case is now under our own observation in
which a rheumatic patient, an extreme
sufferer, finds great relief from eating on
ions freely, either cooked or raw. He
asserrs that it is by no means a tancy.and
he saysso after having pers'stentiy tried
Turkish baths, galvanism and nearly all
the potions and planters that are adver
tised as certain alleviatives or cures."
A Curious Puizle. j
Here is something to scratch your head
over. A very curious number is 124,857,
which multiplied by 1, 2 3, 4, 6, or 6,
gives the same figures in the same orJer,
beginning at a different point, but if mul
tiplied by 7 gives all nines:
142.857x1142,857
142,857x2285 714
142 857x3428 571
142,857x4571,428
142 857x5714 285
142 8.7x6857.142
142,857x7999,999
Multiply 142,857 by 8 and you have
1,142,856. Then add the first figure to
the last and you have 142,867, the origi
nal number, with figures exactly the
same as at the start.

Citj Court.
The monotony of the City Hall was
broken this morning for the first time
for many days with the announcement
that there was a case to be disposed of by
the Mayor, said case being none other than
the renowned and celebrated individual
to the police of this city known as Mary
Eliza Lively; and right lively she was too,
last night about 11:30 o'clock, so the offi
cer t ays who made the arrest. The facts
seem to have been that the defendant, who
is a soiled dove, (with the color of a
crow) started out for a lark and got in a
weaving way, so much so, that at the corner
of Second aud Market streets last niht
she was arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly. The Mayor pronounced sentence
of $5 or ten days in the city prison. Ii
may seem superfluous to add, but it is
nevertheless true, that the defendant failed
to pay the fine and was escorted to her
Id quarters below, and so endeth the chap
ter for the present.
Serious Stabbing All ray.
A serious stabbing affray occurred this
morning, at about 8 o'clock, in a houso
on the corner of Mulberry andNutt streets,
between Delafate Towers and Hezekiah
Atkinson, both colored. We could not
hear the origin of the difficulty, but it
seems that there was a quarrel between
the two men iu the course of whichAtkin
b n struck Towers and knocked him down
and was advancing on him a second time
with a chair when Towers drew a knife
and plunged it into Atkinson s side. The
friends ot the wonnded man then called
in Dr. W.J.H. Bellamy who stitched aud
dressed the wound. Atkinson is serious
ly but not necessarily dangerously in
jured. Justice Harris issued a warrant
for Towirs' arrest and the case will be
beard as scon as Atkinson is well enough
to appear in Court
The Register of Deeds issued three mar
riage licenses during the week one for
white and two for colored couoles.

AH Sold.
The igjiy is ovjt. Tae fo ir par cent
.certificates have all been sold. Some
5 "9,000 worth were dispossed of at the
PudtofHce iu this city and Col. Brink
tells us that the demand was such that
be could have sold $100,000 more, if he
could have gotten them. The big Bales
ot these certificates were begotten of three
causes a dearth of profitable and secure
investments, the small amount of each
o rtificate, whieh placed them in the reach
of all classes, and last, but not least, an
abiding faith in the stability of oar form
of government.
Durham's Best.
Well, the delegates to the Royal Arch
Chapter have returned and a right royal
time of it they had too, i. e., so say the
uncles and the cousins and the aunts
and so say they all, we believe. Our in
formant speaks in glowing terms of the
hospitable treatment which they met with
in Durham, but particularly of the genu
erous attention given them by Messrs. W.
T Blackwell & Co., who were the bulls
of the market in the hospitable line, and
we opine that our readers will agree in
thinking so, when they learn the fact that
Messrs. Blackwell A Co. "they gin a
treat"' at Chapel Hill in the shape of a
barbecue for the Masonic visitors at
Durham and transported the brethren
in such style from the town of Durham
to the University Commencement that the
old and the young of the Masonic frater
nity who participated in
the pleasures of the occasion were
transported with delight also.
The conveyances which carried the party
over consisted of fourteen four-horse
wagons, ths whole decorated with beau
tiful cloths and banners containing pic
tures ot stall-fed Durham bulls with the
positive" injunction printed beneath to
'smoke Durham's best.jnanufactured by
W. T. Blackwell & Co.' or words to that
effect, which injunction, we understand,
the happy party of reverend seignors
were literally carrying out.as every man's
mouth-piece was ornamented with a fine
meerschaum from whicn the blue smoke
from 'Durham's best' was curling upward
while the air around was redolent with
the elegant aroma and fragrance ot
Black well's & Co '8 unrivalled tobacco
This was the style in which the party
travel. ed, and this was the style in which
the brass band trom the University,
headed by the Chief Marshal of the occa
sion, discovered them when they came out
a mile from the Uuiverhity to meet them,
and this was the style in which they all
enteredChnpe. Hill to' the amusemeut, ad
miration and wonder of the natives along
the route as well as the inhabitants of
the village. If Frank Leslie s artist had
just been along to sketch tbe picture it
would have been more amusing still, fur
then we cou'd all have e? joyed
it and Blackwell & Co., with
their usual enterprise, could have
secured tbe cut, and in future
by stamping their tobacco with a picture
of the scene added very much to the aU
ready large sales oP'Durbam'a Best". As it
is none. of the R yal ArchChapter can here
after ever allow themselves to in dulge in
a whiff that does not come out of a package
on which is stamped Blackwell, & Go's,
trade mark of a first class Durham bull.

The Rich California Banker.
When it became known that one of the
richest California bankers had left tn-
Pacific Coast and transferred bis base of
operations to the New York Stock Ex
change, all the shrewd financiers watched
his course with keen interest to see how
he would succeed. The result has
emphatically proved the wealthy banker's
sagacity. Beside Laving a much wider
aud more promising field to operate in,
he is known to have been in several stock
combinations that paid immense profits.
By the combination method of operating
in stocks Messrs. Lawrence & Co.,Ban
ers.N Y., unite orders of thousands ot
customers, in different sums, into one
vast capital, and operate them as a mighty
whole, dividing j rufits pro r Aa among
shareholders every 30 days. Capital in
any amount from 810 to $100,000 can
be used with great success in these pools.
$25 would pay 100 profit. $o00 would
make $.000 or per 10 cent, on the stock
during the month. Messrs. Lawrence &
Go's new circular (mailed tree) gives
'two unerring rules for success,' aud full
particulars, so that any one can operate
iu stocks, and make money. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Government bonds sup
plied. Apply to Lawrence it Co., Bank

the shell is broken, the truth will be dis
covered that, the Grand Central Hotel,

and the European $1.00, and upwards
per day, gives more stisfaction for tne
