The Pake ot Newcastle lingers at

A large number of boys and girls in

The reigning beauty or Ireland is a

Hirronnd th mill daily to see her as
she takes lu-r departure.
Tha Princes lh;lMrouki has taken a
superb mansion in Paris for two years.

The average stay of servant girls in
families is said to be less than seven
weeks, taking the country over. In
Wilmington it would hardly average
eren days.
The whipping-poat for wife-bearera is
to be set up in Illinois. The law not
only provides that any husband who as
saults his wite shall bo whipped upon
tLe bare back, but that he shall pay all
costs ot prosecution.
The four German ofliecrs detailed ta
organize the Sultan's army have, by
permission from Berlin, entered the
Turkish service, and fifteen Turkish
offioers are to join the German army
for experience. -
Kansas is to have a railroad com
mission. The business cf the com mis
6ion. as outlined by an act which, has
just passed the Legislature, is mainly to
see that the laws affecting trans
portation are enforced. Passenger fare
8 limited to three cents per mile.
The Bloomington Paragraph heads
its account of Judge David Davis's
wedding as lollows: "Bloomington's
Big Jude, in IKking Over the Gar
den of Womanhood. Selects the Burr,
Probably Because he Realizes that She
Wiinitick to Him Through Thick and
Tain."
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt's Easter balj
continues to be the topic of conversa.
tioa m New York society: It is esti
mated that the diamonds to be displayed
by tho ladies on that occasion will
represent a value of five million dollars
The entertainment will cost ndt less
than fifty thousand dollars, the cham
pagne alone costing two thousand dol
lars. A bill has passed one Hons? of the
Missouri Legislature reducing tho pres
ent legal rates fqr freight on railways
a that State by 35 per cent. It is
backed by what is called the Farmors'
dub. The St. Louis Efvublican, the
ieadin? Democratic pa per of Missouri.
ay that, through competition, freight
rates are already reduced somewhat
below the legal rates, and that, if the
bill -becomes a law, it will inflict & -.serious-blow
to the prosperity of tho State-
It is said m New York that Mr. Ru
tas Hatch, who is now in London, has
negotiated with English capitalists to
purchase 3.000.000 acres of land from
the Northern Pacific Railroad in Mon
tana, and stock it with 5.000.000 worth
ot cattle. This has long been a pet
scheme with Mr. Hatch, but ho has not
teen able to induce New York capital
fcto join him.
u"6 ,tAtesve tonkmark aserts
ti&t neither Judge Bennett nor Judge
Ashe, whilo on the bench, carried tree
railroad passes. Is the Landmark
sure .where of it speaks? Some ycar9
smcc we heard a " gentleman who is
sure to have beeu pretty well posted on
th subject, remark that there was but
Jud-eot the4 Superior Court in
orh Carolina who did not carry a
Uroad pass in his pocket. Wo can
ot blame a Judge who is compelled to
JJU the circuits of tho State, from
Uttntuck to Cherokee, with a salary
01 &ly $i,500. out of which he must
cot only support his family, but pay
H of his own expanses, if he does at
J" railroad passes. Tho wrong, if
rong there Is, isroperly chargeablo to
the niggardly policy called economy
on th pxrt o! oor State, .

There have always beea quacks : legal j
i i i
qcicis, theological quacks, scicntluc iquache
and medical quacks. Some f tke are bland,
oily fellows who argu and smild tfcej world
Into believing la their favorite bit of humbug.
Others are pompous ajid pretentious parasites.
But they make It pay. Men seem to love to be
swindled, stipulating only that It sh&U he neat
ly done.
The dear public are equally liberal to the
electric and magnetic fraud. This fellow la a
genius In his line. He will put a magnetic belt
around your waist, a magnetic necklace under
i .
your chin, or lit you! out with ac entire suit of
magnetic clothes, warranted to serve the pur
pose of ordinary garments1, and at tho same
time to cure all diseases, from whoopia-cough
to hasty consumption.
Most of these have no more electric or mag
netic powex about them than resides in woolen
blankets ar In girdles of sackcloth. Only
when applied by an expert Is electricity of the
i i i i
slightest use as a medicinal agent, and even
. . i
then its value Is grossly over stated. What Is
the strongest possible presumptive evidence in
favor of a particular remedy ? Clearly that it
should have been prepared by responsible per
sons of acknowledged skill in the treatment o:
disease.
Squarely on this foundation stands BEN
