J 1). Rhodes is the name of tho man who proposes to follow in Capt. Webb's footsteps in the endeavor to swim the rapids at Niagara. A Buffalo special to tho New York Times says: Rhodes says that his object in making tho effort is to so thoroughly test the efficacy of his armor that there can be no doubt of its valno. This he does to secure a prize of $50,000 offered by the government for tho best lire-preserving apparatus produced before October 15. He says anything will keep a man afloat in calm water, and the "only test is such a sea as the whirlpool rapids. He intends entering the river where Capt. Webb did, and swimming or floating to the spot where the English man wa3 last seen alive. There he will have a rope stretched across the river a foot above the water, and a life-boat will be moored near there managed by expert seamen. He says that the whirlpool itself . is death, and that no living man can escape being engulfed. If his means of rescue fail he will throw off tho armor and endeav or to swim to tho shore. He intends taking the middle of Ihe river, where the waves are highest. Rhodes is 39 years old, a carpenter, and has a wife and four children. He is muscular and an expert swimmer. People at Niagara Falls say that he cannot get through the rapids alive if ho takes tho centre ot the channel, where the waves arc highest. Rhodes evidently t intends to make the attempt. He avoids news paper notoriety and talks reluctantly. LOCAL NEWS. IROEX TO EW AOYEBTISEMIiTS.

At Wind and rain is the prophecy of tho almanac tor this week and tho next. Iast night was a first-rato time for coon and 'pssuni hun ers to engage in that sport. We have noticed quite a ntfmbcr of strangers upon our streets within the past few days, drawn here by business, or pleasure, or both. The time is rapidly approaching when those of our citizens who fled rrom the city's heat and dust to the pure air or the mountains and other summer re sorts, will begin to turn their faces homeward, although but few will prob ably returnbeforqScpteni. Notwithstanding the unpleasant as pect of the weather ,last night, there was quite a largo party went down the river on the Ktssporl to enjoy the pleasures of the moonlight exenrsion. - Mr. Sol. Haas. Traffic Manager ot the Associated Railways, was asleep m the Kimball House, at Atlanta, when the alarm of lire was raised there.

Murray brought into this office on last evening the foot ot an im mense wildcat, which was killed by Mr. James Carr. on Acorn 1 Branch, about three miles from the city. When killed the cat was on a hog's back gnaw-, ing off the flesh while that animal was doing some pretty tali squealing. Thre foot wa9 as large as that of a grown Newfoundland dog. 'It is said that the cat had been run by dogs several times. . No Excursion. An excursion party from Banners man's Bridge, Pender county, was ex pectcd to arrive here on the steamer Iliver Queen to day, but it failed to put iu an apoearence. Capt. Bagby inlorms us, however, that the excursion will be hereon Tuesday, the 21st inst. We presume the postponement was made iu order to accommodate a large number who Intend to be present at the Fruit Growers' Fair, which will begin on the 22nd inst. ' Capt. Skinner' Agency. We invite attention to tho advertise- ment of Capt. Sam Skinner, agent for the Tanner & Delaney Engine Com pany's engines and boilers, as it ap pears in this issue. He can fnrnish engines or every description, trom 4 to 50 horse power, as also tramway and narrow gauge locomotives. , and he makes a specialty or engines for farm work. The Tanner & Delaney works are among the largest in the country and their manufactures enjoy an excel lent reputation. Improved in Health. The latest news from Mr. Wilkin Roddick, of the firm of Brown & Rod dick, stated that he was at Nantucket Beach, a well-known and popular place of resort near Boston, Mass. . It will be a source of gratification to his many friends here to know that he has much improved in health. For some time after he left this city the reports were quite unfavorable, and we are glad to give such a cheering account of his present condition. The Harhor. The port is slowly filling up with ves sels from abroad, and there are quite a number on their way here, to take advantage of tho cotton season, which will soon be upon us During the latter part of July and the first wek of the present month the harbor had a deserted appearance, there being at that time only one square-rigged vessel in the port. The number has not now increased to a great many, but they centinue to arrive, and by the time the month closes there will be quite a fleet In port, the number of which will be increased somewhat in consequence of the colton crop being considerably later this season. ; Autumn Fashions. A prettv walking dres3 for a litfle girl is made of dark royal blue camel's hair cloth. The edge of the underskirt is trimmed with two tiny ruffles of dark biuo velvet. Above these is set a deep shirred and pleated flounce of the camel hair goods. The jersey bodice, ot dark bluce stockinet, is trimmed with a plas tron 'and collar of velvet. A small panier sash of the camel hair goods hides the joining of the skirt and bodice. Added to this suit is a cute little Hungarian jacket of French gray cloth, embroidered in dark blue silk. The neck opens in a point 'under a little shoulder cape of dark blue velvet, over which turns the narrower one ot the jer sey. Thejcape is tied together iu front with strings of dark blue- satin ribbin. Plain velvet cuffs finish the sleeves and silver buttons art set up each side of the open jacket. Discouraging. Mr. F. A. Newbury has devoted much time and attention to the culti vation of flowers and shrubbery at his residence on Market street, and after five years of patient care had made it an attractive feature among the beau tics of our city. He wa3 justly proud of the improvements that ho had made, but he did not feel very proud this morning when he went out to find that a marauding cow had broken into the yard during tho night and almost en tirely destroyed the fruits of his un wearied itoil and care. He informs us that nearly every plant, shrub and flo w er of value , many of which it will -be almost impossible to replace, were to tally destroyed. It is discouraging to have tlie labor ot years thus ruined, but we presume that Mr. Newbury will be gin the task again, although it is quite safe to presume that it will result as in the present instance some marauding cow will bare a night's carnival at his expense, T - ' ' Italn! Rain! Froni passengers arriving here on the JohrrDawson this afternoon, we learn the Point Caswell section has been vis ited with copious showers within the last 24 hours, which were much needed and will be a great blessing to the farmers. Rev. Thos. II. Prit chard, I. T. The First Baptist Church of this city have extended a called to Rev. T. H. Pritchard, D. D. formerly President of Wake Forest College, but recently pastor of a Baptist church at Louisville, Ky., to become their pastort We con sider Dr. Pritchard one of the best pul pit orators in the country, and we shall be glad to hear that he has accepted the call.1 ' -I 1 .Let Them Come. We have heard it estimated that there will be 3,000 strangers in the city on Wednesday and Thursday next." in . at tendance upon the Fair. - We dtubt not that that number wlll be exceeded. At any rate and whatever the number they will be heartily welcome and will leave with no just j cause of complaint that our citizens are wanting in warm hearted hospitality. To .Leave Us. j We learn that Mr.. F. M. Fremont, son of Col. S;L. Fremont, has received an appointment to an honorable and very responsible position in a large lum ber manufacturing 'establishment at Savannah. Ga., and'wili leave for .that city in a day or two", "He has our best wishes for his success in this new field of labor and usefulness, which it is: but a foregone conclusion to say he will .be sure to attain.

C, is pushing ahead in the great race for wealth, population and distinction with a vim which sho ws that she means business. It is a sort of half-way house between this city and Charleston, S. C., and its inhabitants arc making the most of its advantageous loeatiem to bring it to the front as a go-ahead, live, progressive business place. A cotton factory has been chartered by the State, to bo built there, with a capital stock of $150,000, which ias all been taken, the company organized and officers elected and operations en the building will be begun about the 1st of October next. There is also one cotton seed oil mill about ready to commence work and an other is contemplated. Aside from these, there are many otherenterp rises either commenced or contemplated, which gives the place a real importance in the business world. It speaks wejl for the future of the town when it is known that within the past four or five years the value of real estate has much more than doubled, with but very little now in the market iibr sale, owners preferring to hold it for a still further rise.

' The family excursion on the passport, this morning was Jargely attended, al though the appearance of the weather was. anything but inviting. . As it was to be the last family excursion - of the season,-on that boat, a good many had made preparations for the occasion,! and would not forego the anticipated pleasures of the day, simply because the sun was obscured by clouds! i- i . i.
