taken bodily from our paper but we fail

Railroad to I ha Sound.
We feel assured now that in a very
short time' Wilmington will have a. rail
roads to the Sound. Within the past
week two of our prominent merchants
and a practical builder have organized
themselves into a stock comoany for the
purpose of building the road; and worl;
will be commenced in a sort time. Th
gentlemen, composing the fcCI&pany have
raised tfctt necessary money among
tlemwlvfti and will not depend upon sub
scriptions to complete the road. In
fact, we understand not a dollar's worth
tf the stock can be purchased. We arc
glad to know that we will at last have a
railroad to the Sound and are well satis
fied it will be a paying institution.

How to Hang a Theraooettr. ,
In the first place, the temperature of
the wall of any building at any hour of
the night or day is not the true tempera-
tore ot the circulating air, and is of no
ue to science. A wood wall will radiate
its heat more rapidly than brick or
stone, and the amateur scientist who
bangs his thermometer on a wood wal'
can force his mercury down below the
amateur who selects a brick wall. The
proper way to expose your thermometer
is to surround it with a light wood frame,
covered with slats, like shutter work, and
roofed over. This will .iirptect; tftom
the direct rays of the sun and reflected
heat. -Run a light wood bar across the
centre of your shelter, to which yon can
attach the thermometer, which should be,
when properly exposed, on the north side
of the building, and at least one foot
from all surrounding objeets. If these
directions are followed, erroneous reports
of extreme cold- weather will not find
their way into print so often.

Cienerat Imbodeu'a Visit to Wil
mington ana Its Probable Rem ts
The News and Observer, in referring
t j General Imboden's visit to this city
a:id the object of the same, remarks very
sententiously that: "lie comes into the
State unheralded and does not stand in
the lobbies of the capitol. He mcacs
business, and he is our man."
From a gentleman who was one of the
party with General Imboden and Mr.
Hyndman down the river a few days ago j
we learn mat tnese geniiemen were
struck with wonder and amazement at
the immensity of the undertaking as
well as with the grand succesr. of the
skilful engineering which has succeeded
in closing New Inlet and placing a
stone wall as an impregnable barrier
against any further encroachment upon
he beach by the waves of the sea,
thereby increasing the volume of water
in the'river as'It flows out1 of the' only"
maining outlet on the Western bar.
increasing the depth of water to eighteen
eet already. These improvements to
our bar , whieh were begun under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce
in this city, with the assistance ot the
general government in the way of appro
priations from time to time to prosecute
the wnrk,are at last, we hope, about to be
fruitful to our city of substantial bene
fits, and among those who have been in
strumental in securing this end, there is
no one,we believe,who deserves more cred
it than Mr. nenry Nutt, Chairman of the
Chamber. of Commerce Committee on
River and Bar Improvements, and Hon. I
A. II. VanDokkelen, the present Presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Nutt, we understand, was the means of
inJuciog General Imboden and Alr.I
Hyndman to extend their visit from Rol-I
v crh rehwher thnv hail nnc in favor of I
winiiWtP to vJit
-JWk" l'v w
oir city. And from all wc can gather
these gentlemen are decidedly in favcr
now of an outlet for their immense min
eral treasures through "Wilmington.
Their personal examination of tho condi- l
tion of our port convinced them that this I
port is equal in capacity for the exten
sive business they propose, besides hav
ing the great advantage of being several
hundred milea nearer to their possess
ions. "We havc heard it stated that I
these gentlemen would make a proposi
tion to the Carolina Ctctral Railroad to I
lay a third rail on their vi,racfc, so they I its," by Charles Mackey, and "Avlfcby
..l.i fnrm m. rnnnprtion with them bvlSong," by C. A. Burker are esipecitlly
means of the Narrow Gauge Railroad
which they have begun, and run their
cars straight through to Wilmingtcn
without a trausfer. But. if their propo
.V.u.
sitions fail with the Carolina Centr
and the Cape I ear and X ia Valley
Railroads, then th say if the Legisla
ture will grant them a charter they will
build a road themselves. Now, this
sounds like business sure enough. Come
and se U3 again, gentlemen, and Ut us
plan out the gocd work together.

About dark last evening a colored man
went into a store near the corner of
Tnird and Orange streets, kept by Pas
quale Pascucci, and ordered) f the store
keeper's wife, who was tending store,
some meat, meal, etc., which ws tied up
and placed in a bag. The man sudden
ly remembered that he needed flour, and
as that was being scouped oat of a bar
rel, which was under the counter, the
man lit out with his booty' and disap
peared under the cover ot darkness. The
thief evidently knew that there was no

Bit Down on Him.
"Doctor" Scott, the Republican Sena
tor from this district, is very active just
now in the Legislature. On Tuesday he
introduced a bill in regard to the inspect
ion of naval stores and timber in this
city, and on Wednesday, he brought in a
bill to repeal chapter 242 of the laws -of
1876-77 : or. in other words, to repeal
the act establishing the Criminal Court
in the county of New Hanover. Mr,
Scott, it is needless to ear,- does not
speak the sentiments of our people. N
I body hereabouts has authorized him to
I interfere cither with the inspsction of
Inaval stores and timber or the adminis-
tration of justice in the county. Some
body sbouid sit down on "Doctor" Scott.
