The cultivation of the olive in Califor

The death rate of Nantes is a eingular
contradiction of the accepted theory
concerning the intimate relation be
tween dirt and disease. It is said to be
the filthiest city in all Christendom, and
the streets are rarely, if ever, cleaned;

as less than Si per cent, of the popula

Alexander H. Stephens' will is made

"My property," runs the will, "I think

The liberty Hall house goes to his
friend Quinea O'Neal and most of the
other property to his relatives. The
servants are remembered all, and what
the testator calls "My Oglethorpe coun

Church, Atlanta, gold-headed cane" go
to friends.
The indications are that the reduced
taxes on cigars will not benefit the
smokers, as the cigar makers, the man
ufacturers and the retailers seem dis
posed to divide the three dollars per
thousand remitted by the Government
so that the consumer will pay the same
old prices. The match monopoly has
also taken a similar stand, and expects
to absorb all the benefit from the remis
sion of the Government tax.

The efforts
to secure apartments at
Moscow have
been so numerous
that householders
who live in eligible quarters 1 are de
manding fabulous prices, such as have
never before been heard of. Quiet suits
of 4 or 5 rooms, even in distant quar
ters, are letting at 3,000 roubles, or about
$'2,200 for the fortnight of the celebra
tion, and for houses vhich front on the
Kremlin and which are taken by those
belonging to the court or j representing
foreign courts $7,500 is not considered
too high. Foreign journals in their
efforts to arrange for anything like a
complete report have found themselves
at-once involved in a very ieavy ex
pense. Lodging keepers jrefuse to
make any agreements in advance and
restauranters will
double prioes. Ar
rangements have been made to secure
a great number of extra jcabs during
the fetes, but it is already announced
that the charge will in no case be less
than $20 a day. 1 1

WILMINGTON. N. C. TUESDAY APRIL 17,
A novelty in the fish market this after
noon consisted of a lot of mullets which
were alive and kicking, after ' having
been bunched and haaled over the road
i
from Wrightsville to Wilmington, eight
miles. They had been more than
hours out of the water.

j Solve This.
The following puzzle is thrown upon
the market for a solution : A farmer
goes to market with a basket of eggs.
To1 the first customer he sells one halt
of all ho has and half an egg over. To
the second customer he sells one-half
the remainder and half an egg over.
To the third customer lie sells one-half
the remainder and one-halt an egg
over. He then finds that he has one
egg left. How many had he at-first. ?
I , ;
j Hard at It
Mr. J. W. Taylor has got his saw mill
in operation, and is driving work to its
utmost capacity. The mill is so arrange
ed as to very much xeduce the amount
of pianual effort. In fact it is nearly all
performed by some simple mechanical
contrivance, acting automatically,
from the time the rough log is taken
wet and dripping from the water until
it is sawed into, lumber and deposited
on the wharf, lalongside the vessels or
pk ced in the yard ready for piling.
Railroad Improvements.
The improvements which have been
in progress for the past two years' at
the railroad yard3 have been of the
most substantial character, and those
now going on are equal to any that
have been made. Every piece of work
completed has the appearance of having
been put there to stay. A warehouse
foiftheW.&W. Road, precisely like
thit recently completed for the W., C
& A. Road, is to be built at once, the
foundations of which are now being
established. Every available inch of
ground in the freight yards is being
utilized for the accommodation of the
constantly increasing demand I for
freight facilities, j The new machine
shop, which is one of the largest in the
entire South, has been pushed forward
rapidly until it is now nearly ready to
receive the roof, This building will bo
an important improvement when com
pleted and ready for occupancy, but it
is only one of many changes that are
being made for the better accommoda
tion and convenience of the works of the
roads.
! Marine Disaster.
The Nor. brig Athalia Iord, Capt .
Wohl, which sailed from this port
March 21st, bound for Hamburg with
a cargo of naval stores, experienced yery
heavy weather on the passage from the
effects of which she became disabled
and unmanageable, and on the th
inst., when the passage was about half
completed, it was decided that she
must be abandoned, as the captain and
a number of the crew had become
helpless from exhaustion, exposure and
injuries received. On that day the
steamship Slrassburg, Capt. Heincke,
was signalled and the men of the jbrig
taken off, the vessel having first been set
on fire to prevent her being run into by
other vessels. The men were brought
to Baltimore on board the Strassburg,
and Captain Wohl and five1 of the crew
were sent to the hospital for treatment
of their injuries and sickness;
The Athalia Lord was owned by Mr.'
James Sprunt, of this city, and had on
board a full cargo of spirits turpentine
and rosin, which was insured to the
amount of $34,000, divided among diri
ferent offices. There was no insurance
on the vessel. Mr. Sprunt has as yet
received no further particulars than
were conveyed in the telegraphic dis
patch, the substance of which is given
above, but is expecting full particulars
by to-night's or to-morrow mdrning's
mail. '

Twine is sold only at Jacobi's Hard

I The Free Delivery.
The arrangements for the free mail
delivery in this city are being rapidly
perfected and the system will be inaugu
rated here May 1st. There will be six
mail carriers, three white and three
colored, and two mail deliveries in the
business quarters, and one in the other
sections of the city, each day. At about
8 oclock the messengers will leave
the office with . the Northern and
Southern mails, and again at 10 o'clock
with the Western mail; for de business
men, and at 10 o'clock the general deliv
ery for the upper portions of the city
will be sent out. - Thero may be some
little hitches at first in the ; system bat
wc are satisfied that all due allowances
will be made until everything can be
gotten into smooth working order.-

Prof. Dabney. ,
Prof. DaDney has recently been on a
visit to Wilmington for the purpose of
following out a theory of his own rela
tive to the phosphate bed in this sec
tion. While here he was induced to
visit and examine the beds at Castle
Hayne, but no positive opinion as o
their commercial value was expressed
by him. He is to make a more length
ened yisit to this section, in the interest
of the State, at an early day and his
report of his visits here will be looked
for with much interest.
Father Ryan's .Lecture.
A large and cultured audience as
sembled in the Opera House last even
ing to hear Rev. Father Ryan, the
Poet Priest," who is so dear to every
true Southern heart. He was intro
duced by Col. D. K. McRae in eloquent
language, who after the introduction
presented him a beautiful floral crown
and lyre in behalf of the Poet's young
lady admirers in Wilmington. Father
Ryan acknowledged the complinrentary
introduction and the floral offerings in
graceful terms and then began to de-
was Pilate's question to Christ :" What
is Truth?." The lecture was delivered
in a most impressive manner, and the
language was graceful and elegant, yet
simple and effective. Although he was
not preaching a sermon yet he made
a powerful effort in behalf of the true,
the beautiful and the good in social,
political and religious life. His lecture
was strikingly, arranged, logically
treated and ably delivered, and all
through it could be seen the Poet's great
devotion to his j country and his God
for both of which, he said, he would
willingly die. Those who heard him
were fortunate and will ever remember
last night's rich literary treat which
closed, with his reading, by , request,
"The Conquered Banner, a poem that
has largely aided in making Father
Ryan's name ever dear to the South.
One of the brightest jewels of his char
acter, as shown by his lecture, is his
great and truly religious charity to
wards ail who follow the Great Teach-!
er, whose life was a type of what is
really true, beautiful and good.
