' Advice to Hoys.
Boys, to be popular and successful as
you go through this wieaed world, you
should have some distinguishing traits in
your character. The appended rules from
the Boston Saturday .Evening Express,
we would recommend. Fallow them and
you'll go through as slick as greased light
ning:
Exaggerate every ihiDg; always point to
another; never fail to betray confidence;
don't be caught in respectable company
always leave home with an unkind word:
always laugh heartily at the. misfortunes
of others: neglect to call on -your friends
give promises that you cannot fulfil; don't
be too punctual with your appointments;
crow the loudest over your own perform
ance; never send a present except you are
sure of a bigger lone in return; always
make yourself the hero of your own story
always notice defurmitfrs in others; be
careful never to be too polite.
City Court.
A white man who said l is home wa
in Atlanta, Georgia, was arraigned before
the Mayor this morning upon the charge
of disorderly conduct. From the testi
mony it seemed that the defendant had
been imbibing pretty freely yesterday
afternnon ia a bar room on Market street
when some party or parties engaged in a
difficulty with him. The cry of police
brought cfti;er Costin who found the
crowd by this time on the street, when
two of the party were arrested and taken
to the Guard House. It was hard to
determine who the guilty party was, and
the Mayor suspended judgment upon the
defendant's agreeing to leave town before
night.
Edward Jefferson, a colored youth 'ar
rested last night for disorderly conduct, in
Paddy's Hollow, seemed so tearfully pen
item this morning that His Honor told
him to go and sin no more.
Henry Anderson and Grace Austin
were brought up to the bar o( the Court
charged with conspiring to steal an empty
beer glass at a place at the foot of Mulber.
ry street in the very centre of that re
nowned place known as Paddy's Hollow.
The Mayor, after hearing the evidence,
told the two defendants to go and appear
at the City Court again on Monday morn
ing. This finished the docket, and the
Court Adjourned.

- Not Exactly a Christmas Gift
Mr. 'J. G. Oldenbuttle, who resides at
the corner oi Tenth and Market streets,
was this morning the recipient of what
some people in this world would proba
bly consider a handsome gift, provided it
was presented in a proper and legitimate
way and would in ail probability thank
the Lord betides, for being so gracious
and good to them as to bless their union
with an heir and son. But it sj happens
that Mr. Oldenbuttle ho is, a man of
family, has enough of his own little re
sponsibilities at home to take cire of, con
sequently he did not feel- very
much delighted this morning, at about
half past C o'clock, when
upon going oat upn bU porch he dis
covered what upon examination proved
to be a new-born babe ji little boy
baby -wrapped in swaddling clethea, atd
laid at the door of hif residence above
mentioted. "
Two men and a woman were seen by
some parties in the neighborhood to leave
Mr. Oldenbutters porch at about 6 o'clock
this morning bat it was not quite light
enough at that hour, they assert, to dis
cover who the parties were, and whether
they were white or black. The child

so it is said, when found as" above stated.

We see no reascn why,in the near future,
Wilmington should not be a large to
bacco market and manufacturing centre.
To secure this it needs buyers and fac
tories and these will readily stimulate
the production of the wetd in such fee
tion, of country as are capable of pro
ducing it and may be directly tributary
to our city. Messrs Brunhil.i & Bro.
and Mr Meadows aie the pioneers iu this
enterprise. A few tshort months ago tfcey
embarked in the businefs bore, erected
their factory and putrtheir hauds at work
and now it is with much satisfaction that
they see their brands of tobacco assume a
commercial position which ranks them
with the best. Their smoking tobacco
we can in especial, , pronounce equal to
the best of the celebrated Durham brands,
and we are glad to learn that the orders
are pouring in for it so rapidly of late
that the productive capacity of the factory
will have to be enlarged at an early day.

I had been sick and miserable so

much trouble and expense, no one seem

pletely disheartened and discouraged. In
this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop
Bitters and used them unknown to my
family. I soon began to improve and
gained so fast that my husband and fam ily
thought it strange and unnatural,
but when I told them what had helped
me, they said 'Hurrah for Hop Bitters '
long may they prosper, for they have
made mother well and us happy'. "The
