Tbe Death Rate. o
To those of our up-cbuntry friends who
may deem Wilmington one unhealthy
place we will just cite the difference in
the death rate of Augusta, Ga., an in
terior city on the South of U3. and Wil
mington, Del., a' seaport town to the
North of us. The National Board of
Health reports as the death rate for one
week in July, per thousand inhabitants,
45 in Augusta, 45 in Wilmington, Del.,
ana only 15 for WilmiDgton, N. C.

We returh thanks for an invitation to
the grand railroad jubilee to be held at
Oxford on the 16th of this month. We
congratulate the citizens of that enter
prising town' on their final success in
"connecting themselves with links of-iron
to the outside world. The advent of, the
iron horse on the coming occasion will be
an event in tho history of that section.
The salutatory is to be delivered by B.
W. Winston, Esq., and our own talent
ed townsman, Hon. A. M. Waddell. is
the orator of the day!
Visiting the East side of upper New
York a few days ago, the writer of this
called at Mr. George Ringler's Beer
Brewery, on 92nd street. In conversa
tion Mr. Kingler mentioned the follow
ing fact: Some months since I had an
aggravated attAck of rheumatism. The
malady settled in my left foot and total
ly incapacitated me for business. The
pain was so great that I was compelled
to keep my room, and I suffered untold
tortures, being unable to press my foot
to the floor for a long time! Jl friend
told me of St Jacobs OiL-I secured a
bottle one day and applied it according
to directions. bo marvelously rapid was
the relief that I was able to walk dowm
to buisaess next day, and have not suf
fered, an hour with" rhewnalisxa since.
The Hew Addition-
The new addition to the Court house
is to be fire proof in every respect. The
floor sills are made of heavy wrought
iron and were placed in position yes
terday. It is thought that the new
building will be ready for use in about
six weeks. In the interim, Mr. S. Van
Amtinge; Clef k of the Superior Court,
can be found! io-theCourt Boom until the
repairs to his present office and the erec
tion of the new one'is finished.

Something to Fill In. .
The moon was full last night and scat
tered her silvery raysj far v and wide
throughout the city, letting, in a flood of
light upon young man and majden, spins
ter and old bachelor (ifs"u6h persdns as
the'two last named are faThe found in Wil
ntlngton) neglecting none, but shining
for all. Many were the sentimental
couples to be see a wandering on the
hady side of the streets who felt the ef
fects ot the inspiring rays of the beau
tiful light of the fair queen of the night.
Ahem! To be continued at the next full
moon..

Theatrical Season,
The theatrical season will , be opened
in this city on the evenings of the 6th
and 7th of September by a pantomime
troupe in "Humpty Dumpty". The sea
son this year promises to be an unusually
fine one, opening earlier and closing
later than in several years past. Several
"stars," supported by good troupes and
numerous theatrical favorites, are booked
for the Opera House during the season.
The Opera House at Goldsboro and the
present railroad schedules give U3 an
advantage in getting troupes in this city
which Wilmington has not enjoyed for
a long-time. --.--v'-

HoreXtW Engines and Trains on the
, Carolina Central -
Bailroad men say there will be a large
number of changes among the conductors
and engineers next month. The Caro"
lina Central, it is said, will employ thb
fall two more conductors. Only two
have been running on the day passenger,
but this fall it will be run by three. The
losal freight has been running only tri
weekly. This fall it will be run daily,
Sundays excepted. More conductors
will of course be needed. Conductors
will ajsd be put on the through freights
oa this road, which, have heretofore had
none. This road has also ordered and
will have ia a short while, two new en
gines. The order was for four, but the
works would only accept it for two,
being overrun with orders already. At
least so aays the Charlotte Observer.

German Carp.
About six months ago eighteen Ger
man carp were placed in Mr. J. Loeb's
fish pond, in the rear of his residence, on
Front street, under the care of Mr. Vic
tor Hurlaux, an olcj friend and a member
of Mr. Loeb's household. When the fish
were placed in the pond they measured
from five to six inches in length and
from one and a half to two inches in
width. The growth of these fish since
that time has been remarkable but not
unprecedented., They now measure from
ten to fourteen arid one-half inches in
length and from three and onehalf to five
inches in width. There are none of
them that is not at present double their
length when put in the pond and two or
three are nearly treble it. These fish
have spawned and the pond is now full of
the young, i many of which have
found their way to the river
through the outlet of the pond.
Mr. Hurlaux is well pleased with the
carp and thinks they will be 1 a valuable
acquisition to the fish of our waters.
They are a fine pan fish and the larger
ones are said to be superior to a rock or
red drumb for baking, boiling or chow
der. We have heretofore published a
graphic description of Mr. Leob'ar fish
pond which is one of the prettiest fish
ponds in the country but since then Mr.
Hurlaux has added several new varieties
offish. There are now eight or nine
different, species of fish in the pond in
cluding three salt water mullets " which
were put in as an experiment, during
the early part of the summer. These
mullets were taken from the waters at
Wrightsville and brought to this city in
salt water. Since they were placed in
the pond they have grown some two or
three inches and seem to enjoy the shade
of the water cress which lines the bor
ders of the pond' quite as much as they
did the friendly shade of the marsh
grasses.
Among the fish thatare to be seen in
thejponjliaa gold fish of unusual size;
fine large blue perch and a variety of
other fresh water fish, ; One who sees the
pond now could hardly be persuaded to
believe that about three years ago where
the pond now is, was a deserted and al
most worthless piece of ground, as far as
beauty is concerned. Out friends Messrs.
Leob and Hurlaux wishing to beautify
and adorn their home brought their
French taste into requisition and sue1
ceeded in forming and making one of the
prettiest and most attractive fish ponds
in the country.

That ttCrange Full.
The strange fish which we wrote about
in yesterday's Bevihw, a3 being seen by
fishermen off Masonboro Inlet, we now
learn from a friend, who himself used to
go down to the sea in ships, is a species
of the whale and is to : be found quite
abundantly off the Cape of Good Hope
and along the coast of Australia, Our
informant tells us that it is commonly
'known as the Black Fish and abounds
in the waters above mentioned where they
appear ia schools and spout water and
leap out of the sea somewhat after tbe
fashion of the porpoise. The fellow seen
on our coast here is probably a stray
fish which got lost off from its companions.

Household Hint.
Kerosene is excellc nt for cleaning un
varnished furniture, either wadnut or
oak. '
A Jitte powdered borax and tallow
are as good as anything to add to- starch
to prevent it sticking..
A thin coat of white varnish applied
to a worn straw matting makes it look
better as well as adds to its dura' Dili ty.
If you wish to do away withth e grease
oa the griddle for baking cakes, 1 tave the
ordinary iron griddle ground smcx th on a
grindstone and rubbed off -with a piece of
fine sandpaper wrapped round a t dock of
wood. This is much better than a soap
stone griddle.
When making cake or omelette, take
your discarded egg-shells, crush them in
small bits, put them into j-our decanter
three parts rilled with cdld wa ter, and
thoroughly shake them. The lass will
