'And what is it ye sell inpere?''
''This is an auction room,'r replied the
joker.
"But what is it ye sell?" -
'jFoolV' replied the wag.
The tramp leisurely eyed him all' over
and replied v'Be jabers, je's going to
have a sale pretty soon. 1 see je've

Hisses Burr & Jaoes' School and
Mrs. M- S. Cashing Music Class.
The closing annual exercises of Misses
k James' school ! and Mrs. M. S. Cush
ing's music class took place in their
school roc m last evening and were listen
ed to by a large and delighted audience.
The spacious room was literally p eked
by the friends and parents of the pupils
of this excellent school, who were amply
repaid by the charming little entertain
ment for any, inconvenience they nay
have suffered from- ta heat and the Very
ungentlemanly and outrageous conduct
of the crowd of boys who lined the wall of
ihe church yard on the east side of the
building. j
Miss Belle Anderson read the saluta
tory with much credit to herself. She is
a fine reader, her enunciation was clear
a ad distinct and the modulations of her
voice were expressive and well-timed. The
"Gloria" Mozart Twelfth Mass was ren
dered charmingly by the school.
The piano duo by Misses "Agostini and
Plummer was well executed and receiv
ed the plaudits of the auditors. The
vocal solo "Take Me Back to Home and
Mother," by Miss Mary Vincent, was
a gem and won to the young lady a host
of admirers. She has a delightful voice,
rich in sweetness and melody. Recre
ations piano solo by Miss Katie Har
riss, was excellent. This little lady has
had only a few months instruction on
the piano forte yet she acquitted herself
so handsomely that it was hard to be
lieve that she had not been taking les
sons for years.
"The Last Hymn" was recited by
Miss Eliza W. Meares in a most charm
ing manner and at once established for
her the reputation of a fine reader. The
Carnival J)e Venice, by JHiss. Belle
Anderson, was excellent. She has a fine
touch and is a very clever performer on
the piano. The performances of Misses
Peschau, Agostini, Plummer and Augus
ta McPhenon was very creditable.
The last named yonng lady deserves
a little more than a passing notice as
she has only received instructions on the
piano for a few months and is indeed very
yonng. It is hardly fair to individualize
in this manner, because each one of the
fair misses did so well, and we do not in
tend to rob them of one iota pf the praise
which is so deservingly theirs. Miss
Callie P. French's rendition ofthe-'Lit-
tie' Chirpers" was very much enjoyed
and made many friends for the young
lady. Miss Florence Wood's "Bless
your little heart" was mnch enjoyed by
the audience and called forth a hearty
encore. She has a sweet, bird-like voice
and has it well under control. The re
citation of the "Day after the Battle"
by Miss Tina H in ton was listened to
with perfect silence and was one of the
events of the evening. This little lady
did admirably well and made a telling
impreision among ner audience, one
fully merited the flforal testimonials she
received from her admirers.
The prizes, which were as follows,
were delivered by Col. J. G. Burr with
happy and appropriate remarks:
Fifth Class Master Bob. Cowan.
Sixty Class5 Henry YonGlahn.
Seventh Glass Miss Agnes Wood.
Eighth Class Master Henry Peschau.
Certificates of merit for excellency in
scholarship and deportment were award
ed to. Misses Mary Vicent, First Class;
Mary VanOrsdell, Second Class; Lillie
Peschau, Third Class; Mary Bunting,
Fourth Class; Eliza Potter, Fifth Class;
Master George Peschau, Sixth Class.
Prizes in composition were awarded to
Miss Ada Schenk,: First Class; Miss
Josie Schenk, Second Class.
The Excelsior medal, the highest re
ward of the school, was earned by three
young ladies of the First Class, Misses
Eliza W. Meares, Leo Cameron, and
Vina Hinton and by two of the Second
Class, Misses Annife Meares and Hettie
Barlow, the maiinum being thirty-six
golden merits, which were attained,
awarded for punctuality, scholarship and
deportment during the session
The prize of the Third Class, there
beinir a tie between Misses Lula Thomp
son and Maud Hall, both were awarded
prizes.
Fourth Class The prize waa Awarded
to Miss AigtLjta McPheraon.
The eyeniiir'a entertainment came to
a close with ihe Tery pretty cantata
"Flora' Festival." and was a. fitting
closing for bo pleasant an cntertainxat.

Who Built Fort Fisher ?
Col. Wm. Lamb says he "built and
eommanded" Fort Fisher. Both points
of this assertion have been and will be
disputed. We argued on Monday that
Col. Lambjdi'd command the Fort in
both fights, but there are those who de
clare that he did not, and that Gen.
Whiting commanded in both fights.
This point of the controversy will be dis
cussed later on. We refer here to day
more particularly to the fact that Col.
Lamb's assertion that he builtFort Fisher
is really not liable to demonstration. We
write simply in the interests of a correct
hbtorywrWe are not able here to: give
all of the dates to which we would like to
refer but there is one question we would
like to ask of CoL Lamb: If you built
Fort Fisher, why didnt you name it?
We find, by referring' to' the files of the
Daily Journal for the year 1861, that
the fort was so named "in honor of the
gallant Fisher" who, as we all know,
was Col. Chas. F. Fisher, commanding
the Sixth Begiment of North Carolina
State Troop3, who fell early in the bat.
tie of Manassas while leading his regi
ment into the fight. This order was is
sued from the office of Col. S. L.
Fremont, who was actually in charge of
the construction of coast defence at that
time, who built the larger part of the
fort and who by orders from his office
gave it its name. We doubt if
Col. Lamb was in North Carolina at
the time when the fort which be "built"
had been named and was in process of
construction by another. ,Of course,
when he took charge of the fort, as he
did under orders from Gen."J. R. An
derson, of the Tredegar Iron Works, he
added to (but did not improve very ma
terially) the work under his command.
There is one thing certain, after tink
ering at the works for three years, it
was found, when put to a practical test,
that they were fearfully inadequate.
There was but little protection for the
men in the few small bomb-proofs which
had been constructed, and we know that
in the first fight some of them were in
structed to leave the fort and take such
protection as they could find on the river
banks. It has been stated that 20,000
shot and shell were hurled at Fort
Fisher in this little Chaistmas fight
Besides this, there was another serious
defect which was developed in the last
fight. Mines had been laid to cover the
land approaches to the fort yet when it
was Bought to explode them they were
found to be utterly useless. '
But we cannot linger more on this
subject; time and space are both scarce
We have been promised some dates and
some facts which,if they do come to hand,
will be printed hereafter.

the intolerable nuisance of half-grown
boys yelling and singing at all times of
the night, and thereby disturbing quiet
citizens who go to bed fa good season, to
get a quiet night 8 rest r it has become
such a nuisance that it is almost un
bearable. Very nearly every night,
Saturday nights particularly, it is im
possible for a family to sleep undis
turbed before 2 to 3 o'clock.
There is a way to stop this nuisance
and the remedy should be applied. The
disturbers of the peace and quiet of a
community should have the full penalty
of the law, (and not a 10 cents fine).
These disturbers can be found out. If
the police force is not large enough to
detect them (they can be heard general
ly from 2 to 3 o'clock), then we should
have double or more policemen, if
these boys, or drunken men, must have
the town then quiet tax payers should
move out and let them have full sway.

Results That Spark.
"Specifics" and "cures" (so called) for
rheumatism have already been brought
oeiore the public, and many of them have
even been endorsed by the certificates of
respectable and prominent citizens, who
have derived benefit from such prepara
tions. There is no doubt that a trreat
many of theise "Liniments." "Oil." etc .
so widely advprtised aud freeiy recom
mended tor Kheumaaism and painful
complaints of a similar nature, have gen
uine merit, and will relieve certain types
of the complaints named; but when Ilheu
matism, Neuralgia aud kindred diseases
have become chronic and threaten ser
ious results, you may rest assured that
they will help but very little. Although
not recommended as "infallible." the pe
culiar equalities iD'f-'Sti- 'Jacobs Oil Cspv
ciany aaapi n to inose case wnicn may
be termed "chronic" and which have
previously withstood all known "specifics
as well as the prescriptions of the best
physicians.
Ihe case of Mr. A. Heilman, Editor of
the Pittsburgh Republican, who suf
fered with rheumatism for two years, we
would mention as an example. After
vainly using all the best recommended
remedies, and exausting the skill of the
most experienced physicians, without
evenr temporary relief, it required only
two bottles ot at Jacobs Oil to effect a
permanent cure. Mr. C. Hanni, a well-
known citizen of Youngstown, Ohio, se
cured fop-his wife, who for twelve years
haa neen a constant sunerer irom Neu
ralgia in the head, the services of the
ablest physicians of the land, but they
were unable to do anything for her; half
a bottle ot bt. Jacobs Oil cured- her
Mr. Wm. Reinhart, Elmore, Wis., reports
the case of a-neighbor who for twenty-
four years had suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that, at times, he could
hardly move around; a few bottles of St.
Jacobs Oil cured him. These are results
which truly deserve to be brought to
public notice; but they are not excep
tions, as will be seen by the numerous
ether certificates from all parts of the
United States. , It should be the duty of
every one to call the attention of his
suffering friends and neighbors to this
wonderfully efficacious preparation, es
pecially as the low price of 50 cents a
bottle places it within the reach of all
persons, rich and poor.
Big Sheephead.
Anglers are having, fine sport at the
rocks at Federal Point. The sheephead
are biting very niceiy and some very fine
large specimens are bcing caught there
every day. Ytsterday7 a sheephead
weighing eleven pounds was caught and
it required the combined effort of two
well grown men to land it.---sJt1vas the
largest which has been caught there so
far as we have heard.
