an effective cure. We give it for what

'When getting into bed take a pinch
of fine salt aid snuff it well up in both
nostrils (it will sting for the moment),

Miss Lonise Clarke, accompanied by
Mr. Hermon, arrived in this city last
evening. Miss Clarke is a native el Sel
ma, Alabama, and the daughter of a
distinguished physician of that city.
Her elocution education was acquired in
New York City, at the hands of the best
masters of that beautiful art. She comes
highly endorsed by the press and public.
The Atlanta Constitution says :
"She is remarkably graceful, -enanci-atee
dearly aad ia easy and natural in
her manner. Sat is perfect mistress of
the beautiful art of elocution, and is the
finest reader who has ever visited Atlaa
ta. She has a beautiful, finely cultivated
voice, and is a graceful, spirited actress,
and better than all, the is a modest, re
fined, cultivated, high-born Southern
woman ; and has won the respect, esteem
and admiration of all who have met her."
Mr. Hermon is said to be very fine ia
his part. The King's Mountain corres
pondent to the Charlotte Observer said :
11 Mr. Hermon is ininimitable. He kept
the audience in roars of laughter. His
'School Boy' was particularly good, aad
his 'Shanghi Rooster' brought down the

convenient flooring. Instead of having

well seasoned material; and the awnings
over the upper promenade or dancing
deck will be supported by neat iron

A pair of broad easy stairs will be run
up through tho handy room," on the
port side of the steamer to the upper
deck which will be used in addition to
the stairs now on both sides of the pilot
house. The comfortable carrying pas
senger capacity will bo increased by the
improvements and addition, and all
parts of the handsome steamer will be
shaded and open to the breezes. -
Capt. Harper will have tho boat thor
oughly overhauled and painted, com
mencing at tho finial at the mast-head
and going systematically down to the
keel, lie proposes to offer farther in
ducements to pasnengers and excursion
parties. , He will have built a substan
tial wharr at the "bite" at Bald Head,
another one at Fort Caswell, and a large
shed for dancing on the beach. The pa
goda now on the buff at Caswell will be
used for lunching or dancing. If he can
get permission from the Government, a
floor will be laid in the Garrison at
Smith ville for the benefit of the' admir
ers of the art terpsichoro. He has now
a large, fine bath house for the use of his
passengers. We admire Capi. Harper's
enterprise, and hope that he will be sub
ttantially rewarded for it. The bath
house, sheds, wharves and pagoda, of
course, will be tree to the patrons of the
Pattport.
Don't forget Miss Clarke's and Mr.

Mr. Edward B. Holt has been engag
ed in this city for several weeks in put
ting up Watt's speaking! telephone. He
has stretched several milps ot wire, the
longest one being about three quarters
of a mile in length. Yesterday a test
was made over this wire and the instru
ment was found to work admirably. The
te'emacrophone will supply a need loDg
felt in localities where an exchange is
inaccessible. For connecting any two
points not too far remote the Watt's
Telephone has no equal, that we have
heard of. See ad. elsewhere.
The Military.
In our State news colnmn will be found
an item of interest to our military which
we have dipped from the News- and
Observer. By tho way, speaking of the
military, reminds as that we have heard
it rumored that our soldier boys of the
Wilmington Light Infantry, and the
Cape Fear Light , rtillery, have in con
templation a trip to Virginia next Oc
tober, to participate in the Yorktown
celebration. It they should go, it will
not be the first time that the W. L. I
(as Co. G of the 18th N. C.) and tho
Cape Fear Light Artillery (as Com.
miag's battery) have marched upon Yir
ginia's soil, and camped or bivouacked
upon her broad acres, where many of the
former members of these two companies
still repose in the very bosom of the Old
Dominion. '
Fire this Morning.
The residence of Mr. W. P. Canaday,
oa the corner of Market and Seventeenth
streets, Fourth fire district, was destroy
ed by fire this morning, about 10 o'dock.
When discovered the fire was burning
under the parlor in the west oad of the
house. The wind was very high at the
time and the dwelling aad kitchen were
soon enveloped in flames. Tne origin of
the fire is not knows. There was no one
on the premises bat Mrs. Canaday, her
child and servant when it was discover
ed, and they can give no account of it.
Telephonic alarm was sent out as soon as
possible and when Mr. Canaday arrived
the house was totally destroyed, aud the
kitchen too far gone to be saved. But
very little furniture and none of the fam
ily clothing were saved. The fire de
partment turned out promptly but could
render no assistance. We learn that
the .owner was partially insured in
companies represented by Messrs. Atkin
son & Manning and Mr. Norwood Giles.
How to Wash Clothes TYUhoat Fad
ing. A. lady correspondent sends the follow
ing receipt, which she hastred with sue.
ceis on all kinds of fabrics: Wash and
peel Irish potatoes and then grate them
into cold water. Saturate the articles to
be washed in this potato water, and they
can then be washed with soap without
aoy running of the color. I have taken
oil out oTcarpets saturated with this po
tato water, when simple cold water
would make the color run ruinously; have
set the color in figured black muslins, in
colored merinos, in ribbons and other eilk
goods. Often the potato water cleanses
sufficiently without the use of soap; but
the latter is necessary where there is any
grease. In such cases (without soap) J
fake the grated potato itself and rub the
goods . with a flannel ' rag. In woolen
goods it is necessary to strain the water,
else the particles will adhere, but this is
not necessary in goods from which they
can bo rell thaksn.

We clip. the blowing from an ex
change, thinking it may be, of interest
to our readers: "Nervous persons who
are troubled with .wakefulness and ex
citability usually have a strong tendency
of blood to the brain, with cold extrcmi.
ties. The pressure of blood on the brain
keeps it in a stimulated or wakeful state
and the pulsations of the head are often
painful. Let such rise and chafe tho
body and extremities with a brush or
towel, or rub smartly with tho hands, to
promote circulation and withdraw the ex
cessive quantity of blood from the brain,
and they will fall asleep in a few mo
ments." Now Advertisements
