The government is replacing the wood

wires connecting the Signal Office in this
city with the Signal Stations along the
coast, by iron poles, which are hollow,
being about six or eight inches in circum"
ference asd twenty-five or thirty feet long.
The iron will last for an indefinite period
of years while the wooden poles frequent
ly rot in eihtor ten years.
Human Nature and the Telephone.
A writer who Is evidently familiar with
the subject says: 'It Is a somewhat
singular fact that an ordinary sensible
business man will put up with almost
anything under the sun from anything he
makes use of except the telephone; but
from that greatest invention of this or
any other century an instrument that
daily saves him more time and labor than
all his other improvements put together
-r-he won't stand the slightest nonsense.
He turn3 in a signal; if the answer does
not come immediately he swears. He
tells the central office the person he wishes
to speak with; if the j bell does not tap
again before he could count a doxen, he
swears some more and vows he could go
and do the errand in half the time. A
disinterested listoner, however, knows he
could not have put on his hat and coat
and got out of the dcor. The telephone
is the best thing of the age to bring out
human nature. A man will show more
of him sell in five minutes before this deli
cate little machine than in half a year in
ordinarsways.

Stoves at almost any price by going tne

Quite a commotion was created on the
wharf just North of Market Dock this
morning by the cry of a man overboad,
which upon inquring we found to be a
serious fact and Williams Bayers, a colored
man employed on the steam tug Orlando,
the , unlucky individual who received the
immersion. The tug had just arrived
from Smithville and Sayers, In trying ti
make fast a line to the wharf, lost his
footing and tumbled in the murky waters
of the Cape Fear, and but for the assis
tance of Captain J. W. Harper and a
white sailor belonging to the British
barque Isi, the spirit cf Wm. Sayers
would have fled from its earthly tenement
and gone where the "good old darkies
go" "prehaps."
, Beware of Uim.
A party, whose name we do not
know, but who claims to be the agent for
some fashionable magazine, has rendered
himself very disagreeable by his imperti
nent manner and remarks to some ot the
ladies at houses where I e has called to
sell his publicat:ons. He seems to know
that the ladies "are, in a measure, unpor
tected whils their husbands and sons are
at their places of business and; to think
that impertinent remarks will ferce
them to bny his books to ai to
get rid of .him. He is described as a
somewhat elderly man, of medium size
and stature, and it would be wise for our
lady readers to be on tbeir guard : and
give orders against his admission,-should,
be at any time call a their residences
during business hours.

Money Drawer Robbed.
A successful attempt was made night
before last to rob the coal and wood office
of Mr. J. A. Springer, on North Water
street, between Princess and Mulberry.
The thief broke out a pane of glass in one
"
of the windows and having thus been able
to remove the fastenings from the Inside,
his entrance was easy. He went through
the office, turned over books and papers
and finally left with all he could find in
the money drawer, whieh was just $1.76,
or about the amount of two days' labcr,
if henestly come at. Ko clue.
Energy.
The mill property of Messrs Col villa
& Taylor, which was destroyed by fire
some time since, has been replaced by a I
commodious baildiBg, and to-day the last I
of the machinery, required to commence
operations, arrived on the steamer from
New York. A force of hands are busily
engaged in putting the same into posi
tion, as it is the purpose of Mr. J. W.
Taylor, the present proprietor, to have
bis work of putting up the machinery so
far advanced is to make saw dust fly on j
Saturday, and to be fully under way on
Monday. The firm of ColriHe & Taylor
was dissolved soon after the fire, and the
business will hereafter be conducted by
Mr. J. W. Taylor, the iormer junior
partner ef the establishment. He is an
earnest, bardtk working man, ana we are
assured that if persevering industry is of
any avail, he will be successful in this en
terprise. The Old Reliable.
The advertisement of that old reliable
and standard fertilizer, Wilcox, Gibbs
& Gos Manipulated Guano, makes
its appearance in this issue of our paper.
Mr. James T. Petteway, of this city, is
still the agent for it In his old section, I
and it Is the sixth year in which he has I
undertaken its sale. He leaves to-night for I
the counties in his district on the C. C. R.
W. and will push the orders. It is
hardly necessary for us to commend this
fertilizer to our readers, so well and
thoroughly has it become known by act,
ual tests, and on its own .merits, to the
farming community. The more thor
oughly it is known the better , it sells, a
fact which is well attested by the largely
increased sales during the pt few years.

We see it stated that the name of J. D.
Stanford, Esq., of Duplin county, has
been sent in by Mr. Hayes to the Senate
for conformaticn as Supervisor of the cen
sus for this, the Third North Carolina
District. This is the district to which
Mr. Walker V'tro was firsfinomiuated
and to which it was thought he would be
confirmed, but this nomination of Mr.
Stanford changes the face of the matter.

much appreciation; so much, in fact, that
a young gentleman in this city, a Gen

them for publication in newspapers in
