Queea Victoria wrote with her own hand the copy ot the notice ot John Brown which appeared in The Court Circular. Xew Orleans last year erected over 300 houses costing $2,600,000. New York at the same time in vested $49, 000,000 in 2,691 houses: The New Orleans Picayune is satis fied that cremation of the dead bodies will ultimately become a necessity in order to insure the welfare of the living.

J il The national uzpuuiican conuuenuy counts on Maryland and North Carolina being "truly" tloyal." like Virginia, in 1384. It has hopes of Mississippi. It seems to thiuk that there is still some . good stealing left in the South. . n j The subscriptions raised in Great Britain after calamities are often aston isMy. large. That for the relief . oi the Jamiiies of the 167 fisherman who per ished in 1S32, off Eyemouth, amounts to Ofcr $250,000. i . "" The prominent lumbermen of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island, representing an annual output of 350,000,000 feet of lumber,, have formed a protective association, and a committee was appointed to draw up a schedule of prices for the coming season. Mayence, Darmstadt and Giesen may safeiy be called "too good for this world." A woman left $100,000 to the Grand Duke of Hesse ten years ago for a foundling hospital in one of these places, but the municipal council of each city has rejected tha bequest with indignation as being a slur, on their morals. The Augusta Chronicle says : We state positively that most of the cooks in the South to-day are ignorant of the elementary principles of the culinary art, and that they are either too stub born or too stupid to be instructed. A practical branch of cookery taught by an expert would be a valuabe addition to our public school system." Truer words were never spoken. Returning Northern travellers gener ally complain that with exception of "Aiken and Jacksonville, Southern Hotels are "mighty poor." We are afraid that there is "much truth hi this statement. And yet, the hotel men are not altogether to blame for this. Rather set it down to a sparse population and a consequent slack demand for- ac comodations. The Courier Journal, alluding to the crisis in cotton planting and its drift to. bankruptcy, says : "The South knows something of hard times, but. we tell the Southerner that to buy grain at present prices and on credit means individual and general bankruptcy and ' harder times than they have known, unless by improved methods of agriculture they largely increase the yield per acre." - iltl The Augusta Chronicle remarks : "If the majority of men would, only re member that at ninety-nine saloons in a hundred the drinks are adulterated, dangerous and poisonous, much good to the temperance cause would be automa tically accomplished.' And Mike Glen nan, of the Norfolk Virginian, who knows all about it hiiaself, retorts that "the tnuble is that when the majority ofjaen' want a drink they don't , ask Who.lllPr it- ia C OrltOtmnl rA As. nit- w M4UlbV4tkKU AUU VftWU V care a continental whether it-is or not," f ' , ' The Augusta Chronicle has this: "We hare no doubt ; of the efficacy of hot water in helping to cure dyspepsia. Nor have we the slightest doubt that much physical and mental disorder arises from pouring cold drinks into the stom ach when unprepared for such a polar wave. One of the healthiest of North Carolina Congressinen keeps tne integ rity of his body and mindlby hot water drinking" This is a strange theory. Why is so much of the dyspepsia in the South laid to the consumption of hot bread if hot water is preventive? And iUe North CaroUna Congress man who takes it hr every time? S. L.

It appears to have suffered little if any from the the sudden and severe and changes of the weather in March. In this section there ij every indication of a fine crop of i fruit of all kinds.

The change came somewhat earlier than we expected, and at about 10:30 this forenoon we were visited by quite a severe squall ot wind; accompaied with rain; which made things lively for the short time it lasted.

Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen has received from the American Bank Note Company of New York, the new designs for the : two-cent postage stamps, which will be submitted to the new Postmaster General in order that a selection may be made without 'furth er delay. . Gen. Hazen says that the three -cent stamps in stock after the two cent law goes into effect may be used for packages of third ; and ' fourth class mail matter. It is now not known whether or not the' department will continue to print the three-cent stamps after the new law goes into effect, but it is quite probable that this will be done if the demand for them shall war rant it. - Personal. 1 Rev. Father Ryan took our people somewhat by surprise in arriving here on Saturday night, .when he was not expected until to-night. In speaking of the matter t him he pleasantly re marked that it was a sort of "Stonewall Jackson" move. He is the guest, while in the city, of D. O'Connor, Esq. , . Dr. W. C.

The Board of County Commissioners met at 24 o'clock this afternoon, per- suant to a call of the Chairman. Present Mr. H. A. Bags, Chairman! and com missioners, Moore, Worth, Montgomery andPearce. I In calling the meeting to order the Chairman dispensed with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and stated that the object of the present meeting was to act upon the resignation of Col, John D.Taylor, as clerk of the Board, which had been tendered to take effect to day, V j . The resignation of Col. Taylor was then read, and is as follows : . j Wilmington, N. C. April 12th, 1883.

Would ad vise that the most popular young girl not over 12 be voted lor, the largest vote deciding. I Immense Cucumbers. , By Invitation we visited, yesterday, the green house of Mrs. Harry Webb, and while there cut a cucumber 18 inches long from the vine on which it was growing. It was not the longest or largest one we saw growing. There were some cucumbers fully 22 : inches long and which in appearance were not yet more than half grown. ' The vines looked healthy and some of the leaves measured fully 12 inches in width. The seed from which the vines? grew were imported from England at a cost of 6 cents each and were planted on the 9th of February Mra. Webb has recently added to her green houses with a view of extensively cultivating cucumbers for Northern markets. She expects to make her first shipment in a few days.
