If a white or colored man steal a live
'cent loaf of bread, and is caught, he will
get punished and sent to the penitentia
ry. If a cow should eat up 50 worth of
japonicas, or $5 worth of grain, it is done
with impunity. A cow can have license
to steal. A man is punished for the
slightest infraction of law.
We hear some complaint in regard to
the manner in which oysters are sold by
measure on onr streets. In buying a
gallon of oysters the purchaser pays. for
at l6ast three pints of liqior. A remedy
for this" is suggested, by the Board of
Council passing an ordinance, that all
oysters offered for sale on our streets
shall be measured in a perforated vessel

The prohibitionist will put a stop to
that as soon as the anti liquor law passes.

Sonic Particulars.
A Birmingham, Ala.,' paper was re
ceived in this city yesterday containing
some news relative to the shooting of the
late Thomas C. Harris at that place on
the nigut or the 2nd last. 1 ne paper
states that Mr. Harris was shot by one
I
Larry . L. Barry while in his
bed room. Barry was arrested and is
now in j ail. ine verdict ei the coro
ner's jary was that the deceased came to
his death from a wound inflicted by .the
accused and that the shooting was pre-
medrtate and diabolical and not an ac
cident as claimed by Barry, i he paper
assigned no. reason for the shooting nor
does it give any of .the evidence ia the
case. .Mr. C. M. Harris, brother of the
deceased,is now in Birmingham ferreting
oat the matter.

der command of. CapL Sam'l Skinner,
under whose direction she was raised.
The hull of the steamer has a hole 7x12

been damaged but very little, in fact not
enough to prevent their working. . The

We acknowledge the pleasure of a
visit from oar : whilom friend of the
States ville Landmark, but more recent
ly our energetic and determined friend
of the Life Insurance business, Mx J. D.
Brooks. Mr. B. is the sims affable and
genial gentleman and staunch thorough
bred North Carolinian that he always
was. lie and all like him will always
find a welcome in our tanctum.
His Honor Mayor Smith ha67lVoca$c3
to djspose of this morning.
John Ashburn, alias Zich Johnson,
who was taken to the guard hou33 oa
S iturday wa3 , the first prisoner. He.
was caught by Mr. J. H. Straus3xsteal
iag barrel hoops and turned over to the
police Air. btrauss maue. no cuarges
against the boy but stated he had been
very much annoyed by a gang of young
sters and simply wished to break them
up. Mayor Smith lectured the little
rascal and turned him over to his parents
with tha.understanding that he should
be sent out of town. "
Jim Clark, alias "Lemonade Jim," was
arrested on suspicion last night and taken
to the city prison. At the time of his
arrest he ' was taking off a dry goods
box from Mr. H. Loeb's st6re at the
corner of Princess andr Water streets.
He was reprimanded by His Honor, and
discharged. This closed the levee.
Abate the Nuisance
There are 150 cows, more or less, on
the tax-list, but these are not all that are
subject to taxation. How many owners
of cows fail to report them? There would
be no grievous objection to cows having
the freedom of our wide streets, if they
did not also have license to frighten wo
men and children, block np the side
walks, make raids on- provision stores,
and steal the forage from country wag
ons; besides 'making night hideous with
their everlasting little tinkling bell.
Mayor Smith has inaugurated one great
improvement and abated a- terrible nui
sance that of stopping the all night
drum beating at the City Hall every
time the Good Samaritans, Independent
order of -and the half dozan other soc ft
ties that hold their festivals there. Now let
him and the present Board of Aldermen
show wisdom and backbone enough to
pass an ordinance prohibiting cow3 from
running at large, and then stick to it,
not repeal it at the very next meeting of
the Board, like the previous adminis
tration did.
palm Sunday
Yesterday, (Palm Sunday) was the
anniversary of the day on which our
Lord and Saviour made His triumphant
entry into the city of Jerusalem, riding
upon an as3' colt, when all of the people
cried loud "Hosannas unto the Lord onr
King," and in less than six days there
after, cried "Cruify him! Crucify him!"
The Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches inthis city, were appropriately
dressed with palaa leaf.
Palm Sunday is the fir3t day of the
closing week of the Lenten season. This
solemu week, usually known as "Holy
Week," is observed throughout Christen
dom, and even the Calvinistic churches
have latterly relaxed their opposition to
it except, perhaps, ia Scotland. In
Switzerland Good Friday is an ec clesias
tical as well ias a civil holiday. In this
country Holy Wreek in kepi especially
by the Catholics, the Episcopalians
and the German :. Lutherans, . less
strictly by the Unitarians and the
Methodists. Holy Week, which
culminates on Good Friday, was first ob
served in the Latin Church, and the
Council of Nice, A. D., 325, ordered its
general observance, but not. without
having met with some opposition on the
part of the Asiatic Churches. In Spain
it was customary at one time to close the
churches on Good Friday, but this was
prohibited by the Council of Toledo in
633. The Greek Church, so solemn and
formal in all its rites, keeps Holy Week
with the strictest fasts.- In Catholic and
Lutheran Churches it is customary to
drape the altar in black throughout the
week, and generally no Instrument is
played in the Churches on Good Friday.
In Rome the week is kept with th3 ut
most solemnity, and in the Sistlne chapel
the most sublime of all music is sung.
The Lutheran Church has added BaclTs
Passion Music to the solemnties of the
week. .... "
