The custom among the English Con
servatives of wearing the primrose as

its association with Lord Beaconsfield,
has led to a suggestion.that the Liberals

One of tho acts of conciliation which,
it is said, will mark the coming corona

ing complete toleration to the Old
Believers, as the dissenters from the
Established Church are called. This
recognition of the principle ot toleration
by a country like Russia will be a very
significant fact.

served in a war which resulted in the
annexation to the United States of
sonie of its most valuable territory and
yet their services have never been rec
onijjed by the government while at the
same time they are taxed to support
thousands of men who were never in

by the government. This is- a shame

The Queen ot the May.
The Queen of May Festival at Mason
boro Sound, last nighty was. largely at
tended andthe enjoyment of all who were
present was great. The beautiful Queen,
Miss Maggie Hewlett, was exquisitely
dressed and so were her attendant maids
and nympns. There was also, iu addition
to f he May Festival, declaniatioijt by the
pupils of Miss Kennedy school and
they all acquitted themselves hand
somely.. A banks party will to-day
wind up tho pleasures of tho week.
After the above! was written we were
favored with the following report,
which is fuller and more graphic, sub
mitted to us by a gentleman who was
present on the interesting occasion.
1 The good people of Masonboro had a
most delightful entertainment last
evening, the ocasion being tho closing
exercises of Miss I Kennedy's school.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers and evergreens, and over
the stand was the beautiful motto, "With
joy we greet thee."
The exercises were opened -by the
crowning of the I Queen ol May,
who was personated by the beautiful
Miss Maggie, youngest daughter of Mr.
Elijah Hewlett. The address of wel,
come and the presentation of the crown
was made by Miss Comfort Watton,
and the sceptre-bearer was Miss Sallie
Farrow. It would be invidious to men
tion names in an entertainment where
all did so well. Suffice it to say that
the whole affair was one of deep inter
est to all present, and the part that each
one bore 'gave evidence that all had
been thoroughly drilled; that their
teacher understood7 her high calling,
and that she had faithfully performed
her duty and given entire satisfaction
to all present at the examination of her
scholar. I I
Miss Kennedy is the daughter of oar
esteemed friend. Rev. W. M. Kennedy ;
she is a fine scholar, having graduated
at one of the best female institutions in
our State. : Miss Kennedy seems to be
perfectly at home in the school-room.'
She comes of a family of teachers, all
of whom are devoted to their profession.
; The exercises of the day! were closed
by an address from" Miss Dora Wagner.

Board of Aldermen.
The Board of Aldermen met in
special session at the City Hall last
night. j -
The committee on Finance submitted
tha: tax ordinance, which was adopted.
It was ordered that seven hundred and
fifty copies ot the ordinances bo publish
ed for distribution.
Alderman DeRosset offered' the fol
lowing resolution, which was. adopted:
Whereas. For a number of years,
under a loose and unsatisfactory system,
which failed to I impose uporr the - Tax
Collector a iproper responsibility, and
the same proniptness which the State
exacts of its officers, the , city of .Wil
mington has been greatly embarrassed
and in a number of instances defeated
in the'collection of its revenue;
And whereas, as the result of such
system there is remaining; uncollected
for the last several years many thousand
dollars of the poll, property and license
taxes due the city, while the State lor
the same period has collected within 74
per cent, of the poll-tax and nearly the
whole of the property and license taxes
the aitterence thus existing being m
no wise the fault of the Tax Collector,
but simply the result of the! aforesaid
unwise system :
Anu whereas, the present tloaril ot
Aldermen has pas3ed into a law an - or
dinance which we think will obviate
the existing difficulties and secure' to
the city a prompt and sure collection ol
its taxes, thereby saving a large amount
ot interest paid in bank on sums bor
rowed to supply the deficiencies created
bv non-collection, decreasing the rate of
taxation and doing justice to those who j
promptly pay their taxes ,
. And whereas, to accomplish the above
recited objects, it is absolutely necessary
that the Tax Collector should have suffi
cient means to execute the provisions
of said ordinance and to relieve himself
from the load of responsibility imposed
on him thereby;
And, further to manifest to the taxv
payers of the city that. this Board of
Aldermen is desirous of equalizing tax
ation, and finally of reducing the rate
thereof, it respectfully' presents to the
Board of Audit and Finance, which is
solely empowered to fix the compensa
tion of the officers of the said city, the
following resolution for their considera
tion; .
-Resolved, That the Board of Audit ot
Finance do allow the Tax Collector
sufficient compensation "toj remunerate
him for the arduous clerical and : finan
cial duties of-hts office; and in consider
ation ot the large bond he has to give,
that the same should not be less thau
two and one-half per centl on the re
ceipts! of his office; then that sufficient
compensation be allowed him to secure
the aid of an assistant in the outdoor!
work of the office whose duty it shall be
to look up aft poll taxes and ad delin
quent and recalcitrant license taxes, and
whoso compensation shall be paid by
the Tax Collector. ! . ... .
Alderman Fishblatc moved that here
after and during the summer 'months
the Board meet at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. Adopted.
The resolution adopted at the last
meeting, requiring the Cleric of Police
to be presented at meetings of the
Board and report fines, &c, was re
pealed. 1
On motion, an .elcctiou for Mayor
pro tan., to serve during the absence of
the Mayor, was entered into, and!
Alderman Dudley was elected.
