As Seen by It
One.ofthe latest and most popular
dances among' the young folks is the
raquet." It is neither waltz nor polka,
ohottishn or mazurka, though the best
parts of the waltz and polka are preserv-
JcL The dance has heretofore been non-
descript but we now give it as seen by
B3.a few evenings ago.
The girl was taken around the waist.
The music struck up with a crash as
th'ough a volcano had broken out, and
the girl clung tightly, as though fright-
ened.and the young man reassured her by
a ierentle pressure. At the second crash
they dodged as though a blacksmith
ghophadteen hurled at them and then
started in. They began by imitating "the
struggle for life, representing a person
who is drowning, but at each
crash of the music they dodged and
scooted to one side, then darted back"
J'again, jammed each other sideways and
then a3 the crashs of music became more
terrific and deafening, they tried to drive
each other through the floor, by main
strength, got desperate and clawed and
tore and pulled and all at once they
went raving mad with hydrophobia and
the delirium tremens, and gnashed their
teeth and suffered tho most terrible
agony, and it was all over. It is a short
dance, as the design is amusement and
not tnurder. But short as it is, it is said
t h verv sweet. Where it has been

KxiinguishaiOiit or an Old Charter
The Cane Fear a Free River.
A paragraph in the River and Harbor
Bill which passeuCoagress a few dajs ago
is of-great interest to the people of the
Cape Fear section, and from Hon A. M

The only provision the House of Rep-
tWa wa nn cfijrt made beiore tne
House or the House Committee to in-
crease the amount.and the bill went to the
Senate. Gen. Ransom increased th ap-
nronriatioa ,rom 10,000 to 140,000
propriation lrom
for the lower river and added $30,000
for the upper river, between Wilming
ton and Fayettcville.
In tho Committee of Conference of
the two Houses there were added to this
I S30.000 clause several provisos.
- C.F-
several provisos, viz:

another directing the aecretary ot War
to pay a sum jnot exceeding 610.009 to

requiring this to be done by Oct. 1st,

We had honed that the removal of
(thfinanLmtricUoaa ou;Ue aarktt
pill which recently passeu iiw jueRjs
tmcw6uld allay the excitement caused
by the passage of the bill, but auch is,
after all, not the case. This morning
a new phase of the case was developed
when certain parties began the creation
of the a frame building .'on the site of
the old market house, without naYing
previously obtained the necessary per
mission. Complaint was therefore made
by Col. Roger Moore, Chief of the Fire
Department and Fire Marshal, against
the erection of this building, whereupon
the Mayor took legal ad vico and sum
moning the Chief ef Police.with a squad
of men from the force, proceeded to the
site of the old market. He there found
-T-nnnrJ timbers laid for a frame
wuw v
building 24x30 feet, while other claims
were staked off, one of which bore the
legend. "This is our claim." On arriv-
9 W .
ing at tho scene the Mayor ordered the
work to cease and instructed Capt
Brock to arrest the first man who at
tempted t drive a nail. There was no
oDuosition manifested but there was
r .
much excitement among the bystanders
Later on Mr. Fishblate was arrested
by Simon Richardson, colored, on affi
davit made by J. A. Ashe, colored, and
taken before J. C. bill, colored, who in
the absence of a certified copy of the bill
held the defendant in bond of $200. for
his appearance to-morrow. The affidavit
chances thatS. H. Fishblate did;inolet
obstruct and hinder certain butchers and
their employes frem carrying on the
business" of butchers on the .public
streets of Wilmington, using his author
ity for so doing as Mayor of the city."
Toney Ashe declares, we understand,
that the affidavit was made upon tne
suggestion of a third party, whose name
hi is not willing to dnrulge.
"The Poor Man's Bill."
The writer was surprised to see, in yes
terday's Review, a card from; Maj. Sied
man, avowing the authorship of the sup
plemental bill, the original of which has
caused such unfavorable . comments,
throughout our city. Without intending
to enter into the merits of the market
question, I beg to differ with Maj. tited
man in this matter and express my con
viction that the supplemental bill is just
as erroneous in principal as the original
was infamous in its sweeping provisions.
To my mind, the entire question hinges
on the rights of a chartered city to regu
late and control its own local affairs. It
that right exists, as may now be ques
tioned from the recent extraordinary
action of the Legislature, it is vested in
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
If they commit any crime against
the rights of the peop.e there is a remedy
for it, but that remedy certainly does
not consist in Legislative interference,
especially such as virtually wipes out
municipal authority. This action has
brought into disrepute our city govern
ment, and renders powerless our city au
thorities over matters entirely within
their province. - There are perhaps a
larae class who are restive under re-
straintt-from the city, but every good citi
zen knows tn-tt sucn restraints are essen
tial to our welfare and he who would
overturn them must, even mougn 9a
