There were five generators p,e nt
at a golden wedding in New York last

"golden bride", the former 88 years of
age, and her grand ch"'dren were pres
ent o.i the occasion, as a'so br.'drs
maid and groomsruan who were at the
marriage 50 years ago. Such is not
often permitted to man.
On Saturday last no less than 17
steamers sailed from New York for
foreign ports. There were - four for
Liverpool, one for London, one for
Glasgow, one for itamburg, one lor

Concerning Samuel J. Tilden's age
the Louisvi'ie Courier-Journal says:
' Tilden is a year older than Bismarck
and five years younger tjian Gladstone.
He is nearly seven years younger , than
Disraeli was at the time ot his death.
He is a year younger than Andrew
Jackson was at the expiration of his
second Presidential term, and about
a year younger than ; was Buchanan
when he stepped out and Lincoln vi."
Mr. Jay Gould has been pretty wc'l
known as an abstainer from alcoholic
drinks, and it may be due in some
measure to this that ho has kept a clear
enough head to attain his present
prominence as a financier at a compar
atively early age, for he is uot yet fiuy.
Col. Fordyce, well known in conniI
lion with Hot Springs. Arkansas, once
played a joke on Gould at that place. !
Could was ailing and Fordyce, recom
mended brandy or wh;skey, but could
rtoi induce n i m to trke any. Fina'ly,
he persuaded him to try a irlass nf "mnir
and rye," which 'X him gcod, and
ould said that the man who owned
the spring that produced that water had
a fortune in it. It was a long time be

fhc following interesting picture
eines from Washington of the domes

"Prof. Bell and bJs wife are both very
fond of flowers , and when on the 2Sth
the Literary Society met at their honse
had it most elaborately adorned with
flowers, especially cut roses ; with long
stems, which Mrs Bell made into loose
bouquets and presented each lady with
one as she lelt Though born a deaf
mute, Mrs. Bell has been taught to
speak by the new process and can under
stand, by close watching the motions of
the mouths of those who speak tfith
her, all they say to hen Consequently
few who are unaware of her affliction
notice it at all in talking with her, , snd
she receives and entertains company
with perfect ease and gtace. It is said
her husband taught her jo spec1: I

There were only two cases for the
Mayor's consideration this morning,
both for violations of the ordinances! re
garding the sale of vegetables outside of
the prescribed limits, as follows : '
D.C.Davis for exposing j for sale
green onions outside of the public mar"
ket, was required to pay a fine of $5.
He took an appeal to the Criminal
Court from the judgment of the Mayor,
and wasTecognized in the sum of $50
for his appearance at thje next term of
that tribunal. ' f
E. G. Barnitz, for exposing for sale
green turnips,outside of the public mar
ket, was fined $-25, but ho also took an
appeal and save a bond in the sum of
$50 for hi3 appearance at the text terra

The Kev. Ir. Taylor.
The Southern Baptist Convention,
wbrch ha teen 'n session at Waco,
Texas, has concluded its labors and
adjourned, but it is not definitely known
whether the Rev. Dr. Taylor, who was
a delegate !-om this city, w!,l reach
here tus week or not. It is thought by
some that he w?'l improve ( the opporf
tilinity afforded him and extend his trip
into Mexico before returning, in which
case he may be absent- a week or two
longcr.j - j
The Excursion, j
The steam yacht Passport took an
excursion party down the river this)
morning. There was a soodly crowd
on board, but no doubt many were de-
tsrred from going by the rather threat
ening; appearance of the weather. It
was the first excursion party of the
reason and was given under the aus
pices of the Independent Order of
Rechabites. The boat was advertised
to leave at 8.C0 o'clock, but it did not
getaway until precisely M o'clock. The
Italian harpers were with them, from
which we imagine there will be danc
ing indulged in by some ot the party. ,
The Storm.
At precisely 4 o'clock and 38 minutes
this morning a thunder storm broke
over this city. Its approach was phe
nomenally sudden, but when it did
strike 1 the peals of thunder and the
flashci of lightning were almost inces
sant, and the rain poured down in tor
rents. The storm was accompanied
with quite a gule of wind, which, how
ever, continued violent bnt for a
short time. The amount of rainfall
was 97-100 inches, and the maximum
velocity of the wind was 26 miles i per
hour. Communication is open with
Smith ville this morning, but the lines
are down so that no news can be receiv
ed from Sloop Point. Fort Macon and
other points North of here, f
We have not the means of ascertain
ing how far into the interior the rain
extended, but it is to be hoped that it
was quite general throughout this en
tire section, as it was much needed.
The good that it has done where it did
fall is simply incalculable! ; 7
Electric Freaks.
t During the shower this morning, and
hile it was at its height, the lightning
struck the main top-gallant mast of the
German barque Itichard, Capt. Paske,
lying at the wharf just south of Messrs.
Preston Cumming & Co.'s mill, and in
descending the mast took out a number
of large splinters which were scattered
about promiscuously.) After capering
about at random' a little the fluid finally
descended a stay, , and thence into the
water. The amount of damage extend
ed only to making the mast useless and
it has been sent down. Another one
will soon supply its place.
1 About the same time one of the
butchers in the pew market house was
sharpening his j knife preparatory to
cutting a piece of beef, when the steel
became seemingly alive with electric
flashes. The butcher parted company
with that knife and steel in a hurry,
and he concluded that those who want
ed beef lor break fast had better wait
awh"e. j
We learn this afternoon that a large
tree on Mulberry street was struck by
the electric fluid and
tered.

! The steamer Minneuiha did not
make her regular trip to-day, nor ! will
she until she has been taken upon the
Marine Railway and completely over
hauled, refitted and repaired. After
this is completed she will resume her
regular trips, the only : change being
that she will hereaf-r leave Sinithville
in the morning instead of in the after
noon, as she has heretofore done. This
schedule xfill be run daily except on
Saturday nights, when she will remain
here 'and go to Smithyile on Sunday
mornings. It is expected that she will
be ready to resume her trips in a week
or ten -days. - ' - : ' :

. First Baptist Church.
The First Baptist Church of this city
held its regular anuual meeting for the
election of oflicers and the transaction
(f other business last night. We learn
that the report of thej condition of the
church was the best and most gratify
ing that has ever been made, showing
that it is entirely free from j debt, be
sides having a balance in the treasury.
This must be indeed a cause for con
gratulation, for, if sq mistake not, the
debt of the church, as exhibited at its
annual meeting in 18&2, wa 3 very near
or quite $5,000, and-this has been met
within the year by the , voluntary con
tributions of the members.

The Hotel Question.
It has beeh an acknowledged fact
here for some time past that the hotel
buildings in our city arc not as commo
dious as they should be This is on ac
count of the want of a suitable buUd'ng
thatwill' afford all of the latest im
provements and conveniences for the
comfort of guests. This is a matter in
which aU of our people are interested,
There is much jof the winter
travel from the North .'that 'pouM
be intercepted here1 if there were
the proper accommodations oCcred,
as it is a well known fact that there is
no more salubrious spot to be found on
the entire coast than 'this. People from
the North ahd the West stopping over
here during the Winter would leave
much money behind them and this
would inure to the benefit of the mer
chants j as well as the hotel-keepers.

There is a great deal of sympathy
expressed for Mr. N. G. Brewer, of thd
Carolina Centra' R. R. freight depart
nient, for the loss sustained by him
yesterday. Air. Brewer was on his
way down t-wn to the Trcasurei's of
fice with a bundle of j vouchers and the
sum of $115 in money and two checks,
when he suddenly discovered, after pro
ceeding a short distance from the depot,
that the money and the checks were
missing from the pocket, where he had
placed them. We trust that the miss
ing package may be safely recovered,
as it is a loss that-Mr. Brewer can ill
afford.
