A remarkable feature at the com

. The following from the Thiladclphia
VAt, relative to Southern ladies, is true
jit'st about 50 percent of it. Our la
d,e3 arc cultivated and th"ey do read ex
tensively, yet some of the best house
kevpt rs in the country will be found
aruong the most learned. The Press
sav:
The Southern ladies-are great read;
rs. They literally devour books, and
this may account lor their, beautiful,
tl.wtry and rhythmical sentences.
Their conversation Is liko the music : of
miming waters, smooth, even and d.
Jihllul. the tone of voice extreraelv
i.leasin?. and the repose of manner and
the perfect casa with which they enter-
am omcthinr to admire. In this lies
ti. acreatchann of the girls ol Dixie
t!..y aro indolent but accomplished,
shinier bot charming. prejudiced but
hospitable. Many know no more about
oking than the man in the moon, bat
they can play the piano or guitar, and
sine like nightingales; lhcy not
make an apron to save their lives, but
thvy can quoto Shakespeare, Byron,
Moore. Tennyson. Whittier and all the
rct by the hour; they kndw
nothing about domestic economy
except that the cupbearda must be
kept locked when there are darkey ser
vants -around the house, but they can
tell you the derivation ot 'deutroscopy,M
cr some other equally obsolete, word
a ith perfect case; they cannot tell you
where the poor of the. village live but
lUey can define what constitutes aris
t .racy till it would make your head
it thpv aro calculated to
r lake brilliant societr women and richJ
'. ten wires. The stately formalities
f .r w hkh the South was noted arc still
Wrred. and the code of honor that
relic of barbarism still remains un
.t tried. Appearances go a great way
d r.tn here, bat the entree of Upper
Itndom is not obtained with a pocket
n ok. no matter how plethoric; your
?..lentia!s must be irreproachable.
II ?rein has the South the advantage ol

Madagascar, when the French occupied
that place. Admiral
Pierre arrested
the Secretary of the
British Legation
and ordered the Consnl to leave within
21 hours. The latter, who was very sick
at the time, has since died. Inquiries of
France have been made by the British
Government and not yet replied to A
dispatch says: '
Advices . dated June C. from Gaboon,
the capital of the French colony of that
name on the west coast of Africa, says
that the French commandant has arbi
trarily searched English merchants and
fined those having arms in their posses
sion, and has interfered with schools of
American missionaries, refusing to per
mit the teaching of any language but
tne French. ! ! I
The Daily News says it may be safe
ly assumed that the Madagascar matter
is engaging the attention of the German
and the United States States Govern
ments, both of which had Consuls at
Tamatavo when the town was occupied
by the French. '! 1

these bot days to take a ride to tho sea

Improvements.
The dry goods store occupied by Mr.
LJulius Ilahn is soon to have some ex-
tensive alterations ana improvements
made to both its interior and exterior.
Among its exterior improvements the
present windows are to be taken cut
and large plate glass windows substitu
ted, besides other important changes
which have not -et been definitely de
cided upon.
" Taking Pictures.
A couple of artists have been busy
during the day in taking photographic
views of the places of business on Mar
ket and Water streets. They are from
Philadelphia, and we understand that
the work is being done for Mr. C. M.
VanOsdell, of this city, and will em
brace nearly all the prominent build
ings, places of business, street views
and features of interest in the city. It
is expected that before .they finish their
labors they will take many portraits of
individuals, but it is hoped that poor-
traits of character may not be repre
sented. -
The Way it Should Be.
The assessors of Harnett township
began their duties for the present year
with the idea that they could increase
the amount of taxable property within
their jurisdiction, and could accomplish
the purpose, by a system ofequali
zation, taxing property which had
hitherto been untaxed and by properly
assessing the improvements which bad
been made in the townships within the
last four years, without oppression or
injustice to any one. That they have
been entirely successful' is shown . by
the fact that the valuation of taxable
property in tho township is larger
hv! 27.500 this vear than it ever has
been heretofore. This has been done
in such a way that no individual tax
payer is a sufferer in consequence; but
on tho contrary, with this increase in
the amount of taxable property, there
must necessarily be a corresponding
decrease in the rate oi taxation.
Tho Storm.
The storm which broke over this city
about 3 o'clock this atternoon was
phenomenal in its manner of approach
and culmination. Tho first clouds rose,
in the Northwest and rapidly ap
proached the city, driven by a brisk
breeze, bib wing from that direction.
Soon after heavy clouds arose in the
Southeast and approached the city
with equal rapidity. Although "the
wind veered a little to the eastward of
North, the two clouds continued to ap
proach each other rapidly until they
met directly over the city, the signal of
meeting being a vivid flash of lightning,
followed almost instantaneously by a
sharp peal of - thunder. . In
a few moments the atmosnhcre became
dense and dark and' the rain began . to
pour down in torrents. There was no
wind of any consequence, save in the
early approach of the storm, when it
blew in sharp gusts for a few moments,
during one of jwhich the awning in
front of Messrs Northrop & Hodges"
Insurance rooms was blown down.
The principal rainfall was over 15.min
utcs. and the storm, which was one of
the most threatening in its approach
that we have seen in many days, passed
off without damage to man, beast or
property. '
This has been one oi the days on
which the collector of local news items
can grit his teeth and gnaw his pencil in
de?pair. It has been an exceedingly
difficult matter to find anything worth
talking about to-day. t
Great Closing Out Sale.
