Italian government is in the market lor 10,000 hogsheads of Ken tucky tobacco and 3,000 of Virginia tobacco. The latter will be purchased hy a Baltimore firm, whose agents will operate at Richmond and Lynchburg. And the plain probability is that the Italians-will smoke more North Caro lina tobacco than ever before. The Charlottesville Chronicle savs thatian attack has been made upon the professors of the University ot Virginia all along the line. In addition to. the taking of Frof. Mallet by the Texas I ,'niversity, efforts have been made by the same institution to get Prof. Noah r K. Davis, and by Vassar College to get Ilrof. Scheie de Yere. Both ot the latter gentlemen have, however, declined to leave the University. - (ien. Sherman says: "Washington is full of hollowness, hypocrisy and snobbery"? I declare it is an indecency and a shkme the way families are in vaded here by newspaper reporters. There is no home privacy whatever. You1 cauuot do a thing in' Washington that a reporter s not at your door to find out all about itl" Does the hero of Columbia mean by this to inler that the newspaper men in Washington City are responsible lor the sins of the people there? ' : "?-: " Washington Post: jit is possible for the Democratic party to miss the Presi dential victory in 1884 but there is nothing that the opposition can do which will bring about a Democratic f defeat. If, during the next session of Congress the Democratic majority will 1 exarcise as much wisdom as the Demo cratic minority displayed during the i last session, the party will move right ion to victory with any candidate I capable of getting? tlie Democratic nomination. Experiments are about to be made in England to breed the gentle and melo dious bull-frog, not for his ' song but for the flesh of his hind legs, which is said to be mighty good to eat. The taste jor this epicurean diet is bccoming'so widespread in Boston that it is learcd the bull-frog crop of New England may be soon exhausted. One Boston dealer has set to work this spring forty expert frogists to gather;, the songsters out of the wet. It looks as if the baked bean would have to move out from the land where it has so long held sway, to make room for frog on toast. The total acreage of Scotland is 18,946. 094. One nobleman owns l,32G,(KXj) acres, and his wife 149,b79. Another draws rent from 431,000 acres, a third irom 424,000, a from 378,000 and so on, until one quarter of the whole acre age is owned by twelve propriej tors, or l one-half the country by seventy gentlemen 7 who "toil not, neither do " they spin."

There is a force of hands, under compe tent and experienced overseers, at work on each end of the road, and work pro gresses. Good! Barkinc Dogs. There seems to be any number of dogs in the Easternsection ol the city, and from what weean learn they give a grand free concert every night. Un doubtedly they enjoy the fun, but it is rough upon tired and sleepy humanity who are kept awake by- their discor dant, unearthly and untimely howling. Driven to teatli.

Much interest was excited in the "bean contest" at the Yatea Gallery last Saturday night. After a careful count there was found to be 7,23 1 beans in the jar. 'Mr. Pi J. Holmes guessed the nearest, his estimate being 7,250, and to him was therelore awarded the first prize. Col. E. S. Latimer was second, his guess having been 7103, and to him fell the second prize. City Court. A party, charged with disorderly conduct, was brought before the May or this morning, who imposed a fine of $3 for the offence. - The next case was that of Peter Cur tis and Jane Fullford, both colored, for disorderly conduct on McRae street yesterday morning. The mayor im posed a fine of $5 on each, with the al ternative ot 20 days in the city prison. They went below. . Slight Fire. There was a slight fire this morning on the second floor of the building on j the North side of Dock, between Front i and Water streets, occupied by colored people. It originated in u mattress, tVintiorli nr J-a nt- livnlniruul rViIli with the bedstea,i unori which it rested ,vc .w! Th Urn. WL lne alarm , was promptly given, but the flames were extinguished befdre the lire department reached the scene. Personal. Mr. M. M. Katz, after an absence of about a week on iTtrip to the North, returned last night. He reports that he had an excellent time during his absence, and that he has been benefited by the journey. lie also wishes it un derstood that he did not forget the peo ple of Wilmington while absent, but made an extensive selection of desirable goods, which will arrive on the next steamer from New York, and will be duly advertised in the Hkvikw. I o 11 t Kill the Birds. We hear complaints 4out a lot of bad boys who assemble hear the corner of Seventh and Dock strjeets and amuse themselves by the brutal sport of shoot ing at birds1 nests, with " sling shots, and knocking them from the trees, fre quently with young birds iirthem. It is an illegal and cruel practice, and we hope that some steps may be taken to break it up. Aside from the cruelty, the birds in this city are of real benefit and should be protected as they destroy many of the worms and insects injuri ous to vegetable life. Artistic work at summer months. Yates Gallery. low - rates LaIrdner, lor the Photo., lwtK The WilmiDfftou Girls. , ; Wc do not believe that there is a ! city in the country, North, , South, EasV of West, not even Baltimore, excepted.that can show as handsome an array of beautiful girls and beautiful women, as throng our streets any bright alternoon. And they are not only extremely pretty but they dress, as a rule, in exquisite Haste. Two remarkable features are their small and beautifully formed hands aud feet. There'are lots of ladies here, married as well as single, who wear a No. 1. shoe aud a No. 6. kid glove and there arc many, so the dealers tell us, who wear still smaller shoes and gloves. As a summing up, it is the de liberate opinion ot an old married man, whoJias traveled more or less exten sively of late years, that - there is no prettier sight in this world than a WH? mington girl equipped for a promenade on a bright afternoon in Jnne. A Fearful Peril. On Friday evening last three children living with their parents in the eastern section of the city, ate of some sardines and soon after were taken seriously sick. A physician was promptly sum moned, who pronounced it a case of poisoning and at once proceeded to ad minister jsuch antidotes as the occasion demanded. Two of the snfterers very soon obtained relief and were made comfortable, but tbe other, who was the eldest of the group, and.,-who had partaken more heartily of the fish, was in a desperate condition and for many hours, notwithstanding the assiduous efforts of the physicians, his life seemed hanging by a single thread. At times there was no pulse perceptible, and nearly every hope had fled from his grief-stricken parents. On Saturday . . .. morning, however, there we e SUgUfc evidences of convalescence, and Irom ithat time he continued to improve slow- Iv until the present time. He is now out of danger, although quite feeble irom the terrible ordeal through which he has passed. : . . - - --"- ' A fine assortment of Guns and Pistols at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. ; "' t IMEW. j . y.. .... . ; To the People of Pender Co. Ladies and gextlestex: The fiat has gone forth, and the much discussed question is now decided. f Pender is to have a Court Uonsc. Should we not all hail the announce! ment with sentiments of profound joy? Taking ererything into consideration, much has already been accomplished id arriving at this decision. But while this is true, the beginning of the work in a public enterprise of so much inter est and importance to our county should be to us no ordinary occasion. In all probability, another of the same nature will not occur again in our 'generation. It has, therefore, been thought desira ble and appropriate that the laying of the corner-stone of our temple of i us Lice should be observed with such4ceremo- tu may uu suitauie 10 au "event 91 such prominence. The Board of Commissioners, in order that the people may have an op portunity of witnessing the formal commencement of the building, have requested our Lodge to take part in the exercises. We therefore take this occa sion to make known ; WFIAT IT IS PROPOSED TO DO. Time selected Fourth of July, 188g, Place, Burgaw.. 1st. The corner-stone ol the Court House will be laid according to ancient Masonic usage. 2nd. Hon. F. H. Busbee, of Raleigh, has consented to deliver the address. 3rd. After the speech it is proposed to have a Grand Basket Pic-Nic Dinner. In this last matter we desire the sub stantial and earnest co-operation of the entire people. The time selected is a national holiday, tbe object worthy, the end aimed at in every way laudable and beneficial. It is hoped and believed that the measure will be heartily endorsed and supported. The Wilmington Cornet Concert Band has been engaged to make music and every effort will be exerted so that nothing shall mar the pleasure of the day. Then let the ladies especially, both old and young, favor us with their presence and their smiles. Come, theu, citizens ol Pender, let us meet and mingle our joys at this begin ning of a new era in the history ot oar county. . If any have had I differences, let us there beneath the isolid stone bury them forever; if any have been discouraged, let us there dispel each other s gloom ; if any. feel . that we are weak and poor, let us there gather strength) for future enterprise, progress and prosperity. Let us come together realizing that our youthful county is now disgarbing hersell of the habila ments or infancy and putting on th dis tinctive insignia, winoU for time to come will mark her as a county among her sisters. Let the hearts ot all her children swell with patriotic pride as they contemplate her future and let each resolve anew to be a ready and active instrument in accomplishing for her a grand and glorious destiny. But we would not be exclusive or sel fish. These ire peculiarly interesting to the citizens of this county, yet we hope to have many friends from other counties with us to help us enjoy and properly celebrate the grand old Fourth of July.
