A Home and Abroad.
Te have before us the first number of
the new literary magazine, issued by
Rev. Dr. ' Bernbeim and his daughters.
It Is the number for April and it is cer
tainly a very attractive publication.
There is an excellent miscellany of mat
ter, embracing i variety of subjects if
jreneral interest, and besides thejnames of
the conductors we notice articles by Col.
Jas. G. Burr and Mr. Norwood Giles
The magazine is printed on nice white
piphr, in clear type, and is a very credi
table is$ne in every way. It is printed
by Messrs. Jackson fe Bell. At Home
and Abroad is issued monthly at 52.50
a year or 25 cents per single number.
We advise our friends to call at Jacob's
for Household Hardware of every uescrip
rioB. There you get the lowest prices, t

Ycnnor predicts in a Montreal tele
gram, of the 10th, that the winter is not
over yet by any means." II o thus puts
it : "I here are yet at least three storm
perio&Tin this month, on the 12th, 13th,
or 14th, on the 16th and lth, and lastly
on the 20th or 21st. The latter two pe
riods will give ns heavy snow-falls, one of
which is likely to be the heaviest fall of
the winter. This will be pretty general
over a large part of North America,
and is likely to crossover to Great Brit
ain. There will be also one more cold
spell of considerable; severity. The"
month will end with rain and slush." St.
Patrick's Day, (yesterday) it will be
seen, is included in one of the storm pe
riods, and in this Mr. Vennor was not
far wrong. -
. Jay Rial's llumpty Dumptj.
Rial's Humpty Dumpty Troupe will
appear at the Opera Houae Wednesday
night their first appearance in this city.
In other cities the company, at the low
scale of prices it has. adopted, has done a
great business, and both the pantomime
and company have been highly commend
ed by the press. Referring to tht per
formance in Richmond Tuesday r.ight
the pispatch of Wednesday says: ,
The company is a small one, and,
while good enough of its kind, presented
some novel and remarkable features, par
ticularly in the specialty line.
"The Humpty ot Mr. Grimaldi Zelt
ner. and 'Old Oue.Two by Mr. Charles
Christie, were yery amusing, and kept
the large audience iu good humor. Mel
Mulab, who bites in two and dauces on
real red hot iron, was wonderful iu his
exhibitions, and it was only remarkable
that some philantropist connected with a
society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals did not interpose. The contor
tions of the 'India-Rubber Man' Rolando
seemed almost superhuman, and exhibit
ed great powers and endurance. The
Great London Dog Circus' was a show
well worth seeing, and , demonstrated to
what a near degree - of human intelli
gence the brute creation can be trained,
i'he German comedian, Mr. Frank De
Forrest, with his trained dog, was very
entertaining, and received the deafening
plaudits of the boys in the gallery."
Opera House ,
Mis3 Gray, supported by Mr. Wat
kin's troupe, which has been materially
strengthened since last they were in this
city, appeared in Camille last evening to
a fair audience. We were much better
pleased with Miss Gray as Camille than
we were in the characters which she por
trayed during her former visit. That she
is a fine actress admits of no donbt and
we miQK sne is aestinea to take a more
prominent position in the' theatrical
world. Her conception of the character
of Camille was fine and delicate. Mr.
Murphy's Armand Duval was very fine.
His conception was manly, refined and
dignified .and the. character was acted
with great satisfaction to the audience.
Count De Varville was cleverly acted by
Mr. Strong. Miss Gray was called ie
fore the curtain at the end of the fourth
act. To-night the coznpanyappears in
Frou Frou, a play made popular by Sarah
Bernhardt.
For the benefit of the ladies and chiL
dren of the city Miss Gray will appear at
the Matinee to-morrow afternoon in
Wilkie Collins' New Magdaline, dramat
ized expressly for her by Mr.-Charles A
Watkins. The performance will com
mence at 2:30 o'clock. To-morrow night
she will appear in Rnth Tredgette, The
Tramp; or, Charity.

We understand that Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt, of New York, has telegraphed
to Mr. B. L. Perry, proprietor ot the
Purcell House, engaging four rooms for
himself and family, who will arrive here
to-night. Mr. Hewitt's wife, who is a
daughter of the venerable Peter Cooper,
of New York, is in bad health, we hear,
and we presume that Mr. H. is en route
with his family f6r the mild, health-re
storing climate of Florida.
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt fwas Chairman
of the National Democratic Executive
Committee during the Tilden campaigridf
of 1876,and a member of the lower House
in Congress at the eametime. The results
of that famous political campaign proved
the ability which this distinguished
gentleman brought to the discharge
of the arduous duties devolving upon him
as Chairman of the National Committee.
We have watched his course, both in and
out of Congress, whenever he appeared
before the public, and we are satisfied,
from our observation in this respect,
that no purer man in our day and time
ever entered public life. Mr. Hewitt is
now living the life of a retired citizen,
declining a renomination and election,
we believe, on account of hisj own pres
sing private affairs. We think it would
be a fitting and graceful compliment if
our Executive Committee and citizens
generally would show this distinguished
gentleman some mark of attention during
his shot t stay here.
Snuff or dust ot any kind, and strong,
caustic or poisonous solutions aggravate
catarrh and drive it to the lungs. Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures catarrh by
its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing
properties. Each package prepares one
pint of the Remedy ready for use, and
costs only fifty cents. Sold by drug
gists. So positively certain is it in its
result that its former proprietor, nsed to
offer a standing reward of $500 for a
case it would not cure.
THE NOMINEES.
The Democratic Primaries Last Xl:ht
Harmony and Good iFeellng- The
Successful Candidates.
The 'Democratic primaries held last
night in all of the Wards of the city,
were largely attended. There was
an intense interest - felt in the
result and yet the utmost harmony and
good feelingpre vailed. ...The fact that a
nomination is equivalent to an election
in the Second, Third and Fourth Wards
did net, by any means, detract fitom the
interest felt in the result. The following
proceedings were had in the five Wards:
first ward.
Capt. W. M. Parker presided and Mr.
W. H. Strauss was , made Secretary.
There was no ballot and no nomination.
The matter was fully discussed and
Messrs. W. M. Parker W. D.
Mahn, W. J". Mott, John Barry and

the Second Ward Democratic Club, pre
sided, with Mr. J. Hal Boatwright sec

vine, 72; Alfred Alderman, 74; C. D.
Myers, 6. Col. W. L. Smith was de
clared elected, having received a majority
of the whole number of votes cast.
V" Three ballots were then hadx for an
other candidate, Messrs Alfred Alder
man, Divine and Myers being nominees,
but no election was had, when a resolu
tion waj adopted dropping the candidate
having the smallest number of votes.'
The fourth ballot was then taken as
follows: Total nmmber of votes cast,
112; Alfred Alderman, 76; J. F. Divine,
36. Mr. Alderman was declared elected.
On motion the nominations were made
unanimous, and the meeting adjourned.
THIRD WARD.
Col. Jno. D. Taylor presided, with
Messrs J. W. King and Samuel Bear as
Secretaries, and Messrs H. A. Bagg and
R. G. CantweU as Tellers. ' S
Messes R. J. Jones, L. H. Bowden,
Jas. B.Huggins, B. F. Hall, R. S. Rad
cliffe and J. G. Oldenbnttle were put in
nomination. On the first ballot L. H.
Bowden received 92 votes; R. J. Jonesf
67; J. B. Higgins, 79; B. F. Hall, 25;
R. S.Radcliffe,17 and J. G. Oldenbnttle,
13.
Mr. Bowden was thereupon declared
nominated. Messrs. Hall, Rad cliffe and
Oldenbnttle were . thea withdrawn by
their friends,. and the second ballot re
suited in the nomination of Capt. Jas.
B. Hnggins, who received 75 votes to 70
for Mr. Jones.
: FOURTH WARD.
Col- Jno. W. Atkinson presided, with
Mr. W. A. Williams as Secretary and
Maj. Jas. Reilly and Mr. E. H. Eilers
as Tellers.
A resolution was adopted requiring a
majority of all the ballots cast, and not
simply a plurality, for a decision on all
questions brought before the meeting.
Mr. A. VanBokkelen nominated
D. G. Worth and Bam'l Northrop ; Mr.
J. I. Macks nominated S. H. Fishblate ;
Mr. Lessman nominated C.H.Robin
son. -
A ballot was then taken, and votes
were cast as follows : D. G. Worth, 103 ;
S. Northrop, -91 ; S. H. Fishblate, 69 ;
G. H.Robinson, 85 ; O. Fennell, 20.
The Chairman announced Mr. Worth
chosen as one of the candidates for Al
dermen to represent the Ward.
At this point Hon. S. H. Fishblate
arose and withdrew his name from the
contest. He stated that he did not
really desire the nomination, and had on-
y allowed his name "to be nsed at the
repeated solicitation of his friends.
He thanked them for the flattering
vote r they had cast for him, which'
under the circumstances, 'was very
complimentary, and hoped that they
would all cast their votes for his friend,
Mr. Samuel Northrop.
Another ballot was then had, and Mr.
Samuel Northrop was chosen, receiving
113 votes, Mr. Robinson 76, and Mr.
Fennell 1.
The following resolutions, offered by
Mr. W. Pi, Oldham, were unanimously
adopted: , : ' ; :' '" - :
Whereas, It is eminently fit and
proper, when public servants perform
their full duty towards their constituents
that due regard be had for and the same
thoroughly appreciated: and, whereas,
the Hon. S.. II. Fishblate will soon sur
render the office of Mayor, which he has
so ably filled for the past three years and
live months, to his successor; therefore,
be it.
Iicsolved, By the Democracy of the
Fourth Ward, i; -nass meeting assembled

standard,and in economizing in all the de
partments, reducing tl taxes and thus

tion. After tho Battle.
After the adjournment of the meeting
in the Fourth Ward last night a num
ber of young men got together the
harpers and proceeded to the residence
of the various candidates, successful and
unsuccessful, where they were serenaded.
Messrs Worth, Northrop & Fennell were
far away in dreamland and did not re
spond but Mayor Fishblate and Mr. C.
H. Robinson were awake and gave them
a cordial welcome to; their hospitalities.
The former gentleman responded inTa
very pleasant little speech, thanking
them for the honor and pledging himself
and his friends to a full and hearty sup
port of the ticket. The champagne pop
ped and the harpers, played and all were
happy. Mr. Robinson, who is also a
denizen of the "Sunset Hill" locality,
gave his callers a cordial and apleasant
reception, as well as something more sub
stantial, and from thence the serenaders
departed on an, unsuccessful search for
other victims.
Capt. Geo. I. Nowitzky and bride, of
Raleigh, arrived in this city this morn
ing. Capt. N. proposes to open an office
