Clouds in heavy weather are seldom ever half a mile high. In clear weather they float from two to five miles from the earth's surface.

Blind Tom After a lapse of several years Blind Tom will again revisit this city and ap pear m tnree or uis, concerts, ioa. is said ts ara steutenednp bateUinihis musical faculties. The Jacksonville (III.) Journal of October 29 th, says: ;V What is he? a enigma, & mystery. A something that ne man caa under-' stand, a phenomenon no living man can explore. His performances are astound iag: they are more marvellous. What secret power, what' comprehension can there be ia that scattered and ill bal anced mind that can grasp, aye, master, a sonata of Beethoven, the immortal, of Chopin, a rhapsody, of Liszt? Yet he does it. That unseemly skull ef Blind Ten's envelopes a brain that is tie strangest comppund of weakness and strength, obtuseness and perception, im becility and genius that ever mortal man beheld. Blind, uncouth, umatnral, in coherent in thonght and speech, he ' yet performs great things, things that many a bright, and penetratiag mind would aspire to in tain. No more striking or improba ble contrast could well be imagined than the grimacing, swaying, gesticulating Tom that stands waiting before an audi ence, and the masterful and inspired Tom seated at a piano reveling in the grand eurs of rhapsody or sonata. Tho subtle power, the erratic genius that holds sway over him is incomprehensible. Let him that can unravel this mystery, this crea ture of impulse, this mental phenomenon, doea It eannot be done. Blind Tom appearad before a splendid audience last evening, at the Opera House, and filled a programme that ranged from Tom's own incoherent talk to the profoundest creations of Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, and other composers. The audience laughed at his ' simplicities, and listened with bated breath to his melodies. None would have missed it, none would miss it again. Wonderful and m-explicable Tom. . , . . ........... - . For tiie Set law. Two He Last Tuesday the mai who fired the first shot at the firstjbattle of Bull Run died at Bstellville. Scott county, Ya. This was Captain -then Lieutenant George S. Davidsoi; who at the battle was an officer of Latham's (Confederate) Battery. Last Wednesday the man who with his own haid pulled the laiyard of the gun which sent the first shot wiizz ing into the Confederate ranks that day died of his own hand at Presidio, Cali- f I ... mi l in XT i or ma. xnis was uenerai cmury up ton, whose unhappy end has so puzzled and shocked his host of friends. The man who fired the lait shot in the Army of Northern Virginia was, we are proud to say, a Wilmington man we re fer to Maj. Jas. D. Cnmming, who com manded "Cumming s Battery," who by the way, was the only battery, or com mand, that did not surrender at Appo mattox. Tnis battery was run on to Lynchbnrg, cut down and left and the men mounted on the horses aid pushed for Johnston, then at Greensboro and re ported to General J. for duty imme diately upon their arrival. This battery received ranny compliments from head quarters and was more than enee men tioned in General Orders from Gen. Lee. C ONTEDER ATE. Tbe above communication is from an esteemed friend, who! himself wore the gray and was a soldier in the array of Northern Virginia.. But while we give publication to this communication with pleasure, we feel constrained to say that there are others who lay claim to the same distinguished honor of having fired tho last gun at Appomattox. The late Col. Henry G. Flanner, of this city, who commanded the same battery, (Latham's) referred to above as having sent the first hostile shot into the enemy's ranks at Manassas, claimed for his command that it also fired the last 6hot at the surrender. Then, General Wm. B. Cox claims that Lis brigade made the last charge and delivered the last re of any troops on the Confederate side on the goryj field atAppomattox,where the starry cross of the Confederacy went own, not ia shame, but in honor, yielding to the irresistible force of events and the nu merically overwhelming strength of tbe enemy. To-mprrow being the 1st of April, all kinds of joke and April fool tricks will be resorted to by ags to get off a joke- on the boya. Fiest Mayer says he got his fill on Mondayj "bat dat vas de only case vats I loshe ia six years, and den dot make me stand highsr nit der Map or Behmidt, by Un." B MARCH Fir. tk Is Afternoon. The r akra about 2 o'cltck this af ters ooa, was caused by the burning of the roof of a frame building on the cor ner of Fifth and Princess.streets, Third firo district The fire department tam ed oat promptly but their services were not needed as the fire was discovered in its iacipiency and extinguished with lit tle trouble by persons in the neighbor hood. umeity to Animals. The last Legislature passed an act te paevent cruelty to animals. This act makes it a misdemeanor for any person $ persons to ctoellyreat or kill any an imal belonging to himself or another, un der a penalty of not more than $59 or thirty days' iaaprisonmon t Some of the draymen and drivers of calves, ahaaoxtn, do not seem to be aware of the existence of tha act or per haps they think the law is not applica ble to them. Driviog a sore back horse is cruel treatmtit and the law says fine or imprisonment for the offence. Termor's Probablil tvi for April Mr. Henry G. Vennor, the Canadiaa weather prophet, makes the following weather prediction for April: Thore will be sharp frost in the beginning of April with a snowfall on the 4th or 5th, but the spring will open favorably, and everything will be prettv well advanced by April 15. Floods' may be expected in Chicago about the, first week in April; with high winds also prevailing ii the early part of the mom h. Snowfalls are probable about April 5. Navigation is likely to open on Lake Ontario aboit April 7. There will be warm weather just following the 20th, ending in thun der storms on the 24th and 25th. Snow-' storms are probable in the far west on the 25th and 26th, and snowfalls are not unlikely to occur in England at the close of the month. The month will end wet and cold, but on the whole will be like a llay month. : r What ire saif. Tha ateamar XVnodhuTV is doing much good at the mouth of the river increas ing the depth ef water on the bar. While at work she goes slowly over her ground, under one bell, which is about as fast as a man walks, and sucks up on an Bin m m m a a averageo! aDout;4og yaras or sand per day. She' is supplied with all convenien ces for her work. We were shown through her this morning by Capt Harper. While we (the reporter) were down ia the eand bins examining the character of the said which was sucked from the bar, some fiend iicarnate .put the iron plate over the entrance to the bin and turned on the exhaust from the heater in the pilot-hone. We made for the en trance, but couldn't get out. The bin was being rapidly filled with smoke, whsi tne iron plate was liftea off and we crawled eat on deck amid the laughter of the crew, who knew there was no danger in their little practical joke. It seemed to ns wo were in that bin seventeen days after the exhaust was turned on, but was there only five seconds by actual time We wern't hurt, but we ddu't want to examine any more sand bins.

In case of a gentleman wishing to marryr-literally "in the market" with his heart he wears a plain or chased gold ring upon his fit finger of the left or right hund. When success attends h s suit, and he is actually engaged, the ring passes to his third finger. If, how ever, the gentleman desires to tell the fair ones that he not only is not "in the market," but that he does not design to mirry at all, he wears the signet npon the little finger, and all the ladies may upderstand that he is oat of their reach. With the fair sex the "laws of the ring" are: Plain or chased gold ring ; on the little finger of the right hand '-not en gaged." or, in plainer words, 'Teady lor proposals, sealed or otherwise." Whea engaged the ring passes to the third fin ger of the right Land. Whea married the third finger receives it. If the fair one proposes to defy all siege to her heart, she places the ring on. her first and fourth fingers one on each like t o charms to keep away the tempter. This latter disposition of the ring is very SfTEW o 31. 1881. NO. 28 5 New Advertisements. COMFORTPEE ASUREHE ALTH J J WILL SELL ON VERY.
