A Southern! exchange says : "One ot

Denver. Col., claims to have the

is a daily production. The capacity of

Charleston now. has about the finest

The (Quakers are divided on tho
question of revising their "Book of
Discipline'1 as to those strict rules of
speech, manners, and dress which have
so long characterized tho Society of
Friends, It seems likely that .the
"rigidity will be considerably relaxed.
Mrs. Augusta Evans Wi.son, the
novelist, of Alabama, has a very fine
dairy in which sho takes much pride
Her Jersey cows take priies. She
personally attends to tho making of

John L. Sullivan, tho champion of
America, and Charles Mitchell, the
English pugilist, had a knock-down ar
gument, with gloves, at Madison
Square Garden on Monday night. Three
rounds were fought iu eight .minutes
when the police interfered to prevent a
continuance of the fight. Sullivan was
declared the winner.
A number of Boston capitalists think
there is a fortune in the importation of
tropical fruits, which have hitherto
reached this country only occasionally
and in bad condition, and have secured
on favorable terms a large tract of land
in Guatemala from the Government
with the intention of prosecuting that
business. -
After long years of litigation the Arl
ington estate, which was seized by the
government under a harsh and unjust
law, ha3 been paid for. On Monday, the
Secretary! ot the Treasurer is
sued a warrant in favor of R. N. Batch
cider, Deputy Quartermaster General,
lor $125,000, which is to bo .paid to
General Ixjb's heirs. The amount ap
propriated by Cobgress for the pur
hase of the estate was $150,000,- but
$25,000 has been impounded to await
the result of an action at law to deter
mine the amount of taxes due on. the
property.
Among the large towns ot North t
Carolina we consider Raleigh the hand
so me &t. and we have seen them all.
Of those of the smaller places we have
seen we incline to the opinion that it
lies between Wilson and Tarboro witb
the advantage rather in favor ot Wil
son. Wo have seen all of the towns
from Salisbury to Elizabeth City with
the exception of two or three small
ones. Morninq Star.
Every man to his taste, oi course,
but we cannot admire the taste of any
one who will call Raleigh a prettier
town than Wilmington, and we say
thi3 dispassionately. As for Wilson,
wo can name half a dozen places ahead
ot it, among which are Chapel Hill.
Wadesboro and Pittsboro: Wilming
ton's claim to beauty is conceded by
all of Xho strangcr3who stop here,
especially during the months of May
and June. WTilson is a pretty place
and so for that matter is Newborn and
so is Kinston but wo do not know that
there is anything especially attractive
about them. Raleigh has a beautiful
location but when you say that much
you say about all that there is to be said.

Death of Mrs. Koight
It is with fgreat regret that wb an-j
nounce the death of a most estimable
lady, the wife of Capt. James Knight,
Master of Transportation on the W. &
W. and W., C. A A. Railroads,
which occurred about 'i I o'clock to
day, . of heart disease. Mrs.
Knight had not been ill, and the blow
was an exceedingly sudden one. At
breaRfast time this morning she com
plained of feeling unwell and ato.: but
little, and on speaking of a shortness
of breath was advised by Captain
Knight to take some remedy for It
No alarm was felt by that gentleman,
whn riaturallv thought it the result of
some trifling disorder and he departed
wi . 1 r
Knight seems to nave oecome nersei
. a . .1 1
pA at her symptoms, as she bad
lone felt convinced that she was afflict
ed with tho dreaded heart disease, and
sent for a lady friend, a neighbor, who
promptly answered the call, and pre
scribed for her such remedies as stie
thought most efficacious. This lady
did not think Mrs, Knight sorious
ly ill, yet advised that medical aid be
summoned. This advice was followed
and Dr. Thomas, the family physician,
soon arrived at the house. He was re
ceived by Mrs. Knight who bad scarce
ly greeted him, remarking that she felt
very unwell, when she fell back in her
chair and expired.
Mrs.Knight was a most estimable lady,
a fond wife and a dcyoted mother and
her death has brought with it a" terrible
woe to a heretofore happy household.

bereaved friend, Capt, Knight, do r we
lender our most hearty ; sympathes in
his sorrowahdjthis sudden partinglwith

Keliffionsly Insane.
Bertha Hall, colored, was taken in
charge by the police this mornfng and
locked up for safe keeping and the se
curity of society. She styles herself a
prophetess of God, and is evidently. in
sane upon religious subjects. She has
heretofore been entirely harmless, but
has been growing more wild in her
manner for some time, and was liable.
to become violent arid dangerous at any
moment, and her arrest and confine
ment was merely a precautionary
raeasnre to', relieve the neighborhood
where she lives i from anxiety and pos
sible harm. Shff has four children, two
of whom are grown, and lives on
I Eleventh, near Princess slreet. An in-
quisition into her condition seems to bo
! demanded and will probably be had.
Our Dead at Arlington.
Mrs. C..V. -Harris, writes from
Washingtou to this city as follows;
"On the 10th of May a movement
was inaugurated in this city to proper
ly mark the graves or disinter the re
mains of about 150 North Carolina
soldiers who are now buried
iu Arlington Cemetery. At pres
ent these, graves are neglected. At
the head f every .one is acoarse,
wooden head-board bearing the names,
command and State to which tho sold
ier belonged and underneath in promi
nent black letters is tho word "Rebel."'
I recall just now two names which
belong toEasternNorth Carolina Eure
Martin. Perhaps their kindred are

Mrs. Harris makes the excellent sug
gestion that the Ladies Memorial As.
soeiation of this city try and raise funds
wherewith to aid in the good work o
marking the graves and preserving the
remains of those dead heroes".
The Glittering Attraction of

For tho next three or four weeks war,
politics, speculations, railroad grain,Joil,
