City Court E. McFarland and David Mallett, two colored youths, were arrainged .upon the charge of an affray. From the evidence it appeared that the first named was not to blame, and His Honor discharged him at once. The other defendant, Dave Mallett, was sentenced to pay a fine of $2 00 or go below for five days, but being a sort of half-witted imbecile, Mayor Smith relented upon defendant's promis ing to leave town for a month, and the sentence was remitted. There were three other cases which came up for trial, but the character of the offences was of such a vile nature, that it is impossible for us to report them. Suffice it to say that the offen ders all met with their just dues at the hands of the mayor, after which the court adjourned.

In glancing over some of our exchanges we discovered that, the employees of the Western Union Telegraph Company had been very cheerfully rewarded by the company for the ardieus duties of the past week, and after much pumping,have suc ceeded in getting the following from the obliging but retiring manager at this point, which will explain itself : To Manager Sterling, Wilmington, n. a I take pleasure in forwarding the fol lowing handsome testimonial from the General Manager as to the highly effi cient and valuable services rendered by the company's employes during the past few days. Yon will please read this order to the employes of your office, and remunerate them for all extra services performed as per general order of January 4th, lb 1 7. Yours truly, J. W. Kates, Superintendent. J. W. Kates, Superintendent ; Referring to the prompt and satisfac tory manner in which our employes have met the emergencies of the service dur ing, the past few days, the General Man ager says it deserves more than a passing recognition. Disregarding Sunday and holiday hours, they remained on duty day and night, enabling us to keep the pub lic all over the country constantly ad vised of the condition of the President. By authority of the General Manager you will see that in your district they are properly remunerated for the extraordi nary services the? have so willingly ren dered and express to them the thanks of the company. (Signed) ii. VY . TKABUK, General Superintendent. Nashville, Tenn., July 5, 1881. We take occasion to thank Manager Sterling and the Western Union Tele graph Company, in behalf of our citizens, for their kindmess in furnishing the latest news relative to the President'! condi tion. As for the operators and other employes in this city, they are not only clever folks, but they are faithful, hard working people, and the Company has shown a very graceful appreciation of their cervices. Mr. Sterling, the Man ager, is a plite and affable gentleman, and is alwaj3aoinziodatiig. Who Saw It First? "The question of who discovered the present comet has become a most momentous one. Over 500 persons have laid claim to the honor and the Warner Prize of $200, and all of them with in comparatively the same time. It is desirable that no injustice be done in this matter and to this end all parties who saw the comet during the "week end ing June 25th, or previously, will please forward their claims without delay to Prof. Swift, director of the Warner Ob. servatory, Rochester, N. Y. It is cer tain the discovery was made by a private individual." And that individual is no less a per son than Capt. Frank Wilkiuson of the steam r Elizabeth He told us ot his discovery of the comet on or about the first of June and we took phonetic notes of it at the time but did not use them be cause we thought Capt. Frank wa3 trying to impose upon our credulity. By ref erence to our note book wte hod he told us of the discovery of the comet ia the following language. "Well, sir, we aro going to have a war because I have seen a comet. When I was lying in my state room last night on the port side of the hurricane deck of the Elizabeth, thinking of the rough passages we had when 1 was on a whaler in the Arctic Ocean, I looked up through the sky light and discovered the comet. I've got some gastronomical knowledge as well as knowing a thing or two about navigation, because you see when we were in the Arctic Ocean shooting whales by the light or the fires in the woods, Oh? I tell you sir, they used to have some whopping big fires in the woods to northard of where we laid at anchor and them fires would light up every thing for a mile around." "You mean the aurora borealis, Capt Frank?" "No,I don't mean nuthin of the kind I mean fires in the woods like that one over in Brunswick there to the Southard and Westward of us. Well! as I was going to say, one morning when it was the larbord watch and I was on deck, I looked up to see what it was that was making me feel so hot, and I saw a comet with a tail about sixty feet long right over my head and almost touching the mast-head, and after a while I went down below and pulled off my linen coat and went back upon. deck. I heard a little noise alongside of our port bows and looked over, and saw a rousing sperm whale lying alongside of us asleep. I stepped over on his back and walked carefully along until I got to his head and I eat astraddle of his neck, and got my hands fixed in his gills. Well, the old fellow woke np after awhile and if he wasn't mad when he found that I had stole a march on him, I don't know noth ing. Well, he struck out lively ; he kicked and laid down and rolled over, but I stuck to him until he died, and four days afterwards the ship caught up with us in lat. 96, long, 24, East-half-east of the Cape of Good Hope." "But what did you do for something to eat during those four days ?" 'Oh ! ah, well, ah ! er, er, you see, somehow or cuther, I didn't git hungry ; but we got that whale on board and got 1,904 hogsheads of oil - out of his blub bers, and " "What?? 1,904 hogsheads of oil out of" "Yes, sir, 1,904 well, time's up and I've got to start down tho river. Cast off the bow line, there." And off he went.- Beautify your homes by using the N. Y. EnamelPaint, ready mixed and war- anted. Sold only at Jacobi's. f Excursion To-Morrw.
