Arlington's Hlostreli.
A very large audience greeted Arling
ton's minstrels last evening at the Opera
House. The troape is the best of its
kind that has visited this city in several
years, and: save Tery general satisfaction.
The quartette was Terr good and render
ed some rery enjoyable music. The six-
tette clog clab is the best that has ever
been on our boards. Mr. Arlington has
every reason to be satisfied with his re
ception and on his next visit we predict
that standing room will bo more in de
mand than it was last night.
One of our np-town mef chants, being

from a shelf about seven feet high in a

empty, he lifted it from the nail with his
foot and down came the bucket, tiled
with oysters, which rolled out on the
floor and down the neck of onr friend,
who paid for the damages and retired
fifty cents less in his pocket, while the
j bystanders enjoyed tho fan.

A Genuine Pelleaa
A genuine South American pelican
was shot flying across Masonboro Sound
on yesterday, by Mr. John O.Wagner and
was on exhibition in the market to-day.
It was bought by Mr. A. Adrian, who
has handed it over to a taxidermist to be
staffed. The pelican measured 7 feet 8
inehes from tip to ,tip of wings and stood
about four feet high. The feathers on
ats body are a beautifal shade of iron grey,
tinted with sear brown, and its neck a
pure soft brown, The uppe? mandibleV
its bill is flattened and
terminated by a very strong hook,

ia formed br two osseous branches,
.which are depressed, flexible and united
at the jaw or point ; from it is suspended
a naked skin in the form of an expansive
pouch, which is capable of holding a
considerable number of fish. To test
the flexibility of the pouch or bag, a
olpred batcher ran his head with ease
this morning into the mouth of the peli
can. The bird ii quite curiosity about

It is not altogether pleasant to learn
from a fashion re portress that thin ladies
are rapidly going out of fashion, and fat
figures are at present thought to be the
only correct thing.
Black walnut is much less used in
rooms than formerly, and light woods are
coming into favor, partly because they
are cheap and partly because they con
trast better with dark walls,
It is universally conceded that the
heart of a man weighs, aboit ten ounces
that of a woman eight. As the age
increases a man's heart grows heavier
and a woman's lighter. Some girls lese;
theirs atsixteea while others hare little
or none to lose.
There is nothing so harrowing to the
feelincrs of a modest man in these days
of colds, than to discover that his nasal
blast wasaimetf at a hole in his handker-
hief and a friend sees him nass his af-
ileted hand across the seat of his trow-
sertf, under the friendly shadow of his
coat tail.
