It hows that during that period there have Uxo nearly three thousand deaths truni thos; csuses in various parts of tie world. The citil service commission met in Philadelphia Monday and examined ap luloants for positions in the custom h.xi and postoffice. There were .85 men. thrve ol them colored, examined tjr appointment as letter-carriers, and r,. including 3 ladies and 8 colored men, lur i lrkships in the postoflicc. This is the last week of suspension of work in the anthracite coal mines, and it is understood by Schuylkill operators that no further restrictions in produc tion will be made fortho month. Stocks ol coal are very low, the Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron company having less than 40.000 tons in store at Port Richmond. Col. G. W. Roebling on Monday tcu dcrcdhis resignation as chief engineer of the East river bndre. between rcw York and Brooklyn. It was accepted, and he was appointed consulting engi neer without salary'. His chief assist ant, Mr. Martin, was appointed chief engineer and superintendent of the bridge. Tee total amount ol money received for the building of the bridge up to the first of this mouth was $14, .350. and the expenditures were III.WI.538. Tho Charleston Xctcs and Courier thinks, with the Review, that the ac complishment of an impossible possi bility, the nomination of B. F. Butler, for President, would bo an act of politi cal suicide. It says: We do not know whether it is within the range of possibility lor Governor lien Butler, with his brs and his bar rel, so to fascinate the Democracy of the North as. to induce them to give him the nomination for the Presidency. But we think we speak tho 'Unanimous sentiment of Democrats in Soaih Caro Una when we say that such a nomina tion would break ap "tho Solid South" more suddenly and completely than any other political event unger ine sun. The Republicans are brinrfng all of their tactics to : bear tor 'defeat Judge iloadly in Ohio.. .When this Is said it will bo well enough uittlcrtood that all of the peculiar means ia the disposal of the great party of moral ideas, not the least among wfcick" Is defamation of character, will to brought into play. The New York Herald'toy ' When Mr. Iloadly was nominated we predicted that It would not be long be fore the Republicans discovered him to t a vile wretch. Whenono party nom. inates a man ot undoubted honesty and distinguished ability on a really strong platform the other party has no re aource except to denounce the candi date at once and without stint. Wcare not surprised, therefore, to nee it announced in triumphant tones by-difTerent Republican journals that Mr. Iloadly is the tool of the Standard Oil Company, tho agent of grogshop keepers, "the saloon candidate," an in Cdel, an equiTOcator, a hypocrite, a self seeking turncoat. Insincere, a sneak, "ab surdly illogical and little better than a fool. I n order thai this long ca talogue shall not needlessly, startle Mr. Jloadlyls friends, who have hitherto believed him to be an honorable and uncom monly able man. we will add here a statement made to a Tribune corres pondent by Mr. Rntan. who is de scribed as one of the foremost and best Informed .republican pol iticians in Western Pennsylvania. Mr. Rutan said: You can put it down that the Republicans will carry Pennsylvania this fall by an old time majority unless Ohio should go . . t i i . .. . .- . - i r- 1 ' 1 iJPj VOL. VII. democratic. In that event we should probably lose considerable of our float ing vote and the contest would be close." Mr. Magce. another able Pennsylvania Republican manager, confirmed Mr. Kulan's statement, saying: "The only disaster that threatens cs is a possible defeat of the Republicans in Ohio, which would increase our work here considerably. I think we could carry our State, notwithstanding an adverse result there, but it would Te by a much narrower margin than we could other wise expect.?' J When the success of the grand old party in two States depends on defeat ing Mr. Hojvdly it is hardly to be ex pected that he should appear other than as an infamous villain to the organs.

Yesterday afternoon a horse attached to a carriage, from which a young man had just alighted, was standing in front of Pinev Grove Hotel, at the Sound i .i.. : l u , ut A t the report of a gun which some one had fired, and started ofT at the top of his speed before anyone could stop him. In the road in front ot Mr. Slokely's house were two baby carriages i containing children in charge of colored nurses, and the lnghtened. horse was coming directly towards them at a furious rate, when a colored man ridme: in a cart to which a mule was harnessed drove be tween the horse and the children, thns savins: them from almost certain de- struction. The carriage was thrown against the cart and ruined, while the horse, freed from the vehicle, ran some distance, when ho was captured. The position taken by the cart was such that it compelled the horse to sheer off, but not in season to save the carriage from destruction. There-is no doubt that the thoughtfulness and prompt ac tion of the colored man prevented, a very serious if not a doubly fatal acci dent, and ho deserves commendation for his conduct. A lot of boy's clothing, evidently drop- . - , . , w, pedfrom a vehicle in pas?mg. was found on the Masonboro Turnpike on Tuesday last by John G. Wagner. Esq., who will be glad to return them to the owner. , , - ! -I ' . '! :. :'..f !' ! A New Craft. Capt. Walter Tail, of the litte steam propellor Okalahoma, has laid the keel I for a new craft, which will be similar in construction, but will be 50 feet in length.. When completed it is intended to use her in" tewins flats about the l harbor and up and down the Northeast . K www .uo iwnuc Your Home Merchants The Revikw has repeatedly urged uPn xt3 readers the fact that in patron izinS their home merchants they are patronizing themselves, and it was only J Iast week that we expressed disapproy al of the giving-out to Northern print ers, by the State authorities, work that could be done jusV as well in North Carolina as in New York. The ad vantages are all in favor of the home trade. When an article is ordered from the North, it is bought by hearsay, as it were, and not by actual examination, and, once purchased, there is no redress the bargain must be abided by The Wilmington; merchants - are1 all enterprising. They show excellent goods and the prices will be found, in the main, just as low as the same goods may be had elsewhere, and if an arlicle is called for they have not in stock some of them will agrue at once to order it out and furnish it to their customers at New York prices. There i3, besides. every difference between buying an ar I tide by sample and inspecting it in the piece before purchasing. The follow- hnr whir.h w r.lin froni an exnhanr expresses our sentiments on the sub ject: It is vour home : you cannot i oiprove much y taking your money away to invest. Tnere is no way of improving a place so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schools j and good people to settle among you, and this cannot be done unless yon spend your money at home, for there is where you get it. Spend your money at home, because when it is necessary to get credit it is oi your own town merchants you have to get it. aud they must wait tor the money. Spend your money at home. It will make better business for your merchants. They can and will keep better assortments, and sell at lower rates than if the only business tbey could do was to credit out, while the money goes to other r places. Spend your money at home. Set j the exam ple now. Buy your dry goods, gro ceries and meat in town, and you will see a wonderful change in a short time in the business outlook of the place; therefore deal with your merchants at home. Your merchants are your neighbors and your friends ; they stand by you in sickness are your associates. Without your trade they cannot keep up business. No stores, then no one wanting to buy property to settle on and build up the place. ' ' Kite lieu Market.
