Of course he will! He will withdraw about a dozen States from Republican control ! It is feared by the auxious Republi cans that the frequent recurrence of cy clones irfthe great Northwest will tend to a political hurricane this Fall and blow the fjrand old Party to smither eens. Among the close States in 1880, Cali fornia went Democratic by 78; Con necticut went Republican by 2,656; Indiana wient Republican by 6,642; New Jersey went Democratic by 2.010, and New York went Republican by 21,033.

The cotton dealers are beginning to lookout for the arrival of the new crop. A tew bales have already been received and more will be apt to follow in a few days.

The Lawn Party given At the City Hall Park last night by the Ladies' Memorial Association, in aid of the North Carolina Confederate Home, was a splendid affair. The grounds were brilliantly illuminated by the aid of Chinese lanterns, the night was delight ful and all that could be desired, the tables scattered about the yard were well filled with delicacies to tempt the appetite and the throng in attendance were ir; the very best of humor, so that it was a season of enjoyment to all. The scene presented to the passer-by was one ot picturesque beauty, and when the object of the gathering was taken into consideration, it became doubly interesting. Victorious Rosa. In the race between the yachts Jtosa, and Mascolte, over the Wrightsville course yesterday, the former was vic torious. There was a steady breeze from E. N.

D Parsley and both yachts were handled with consummate' skill. Mr. John J. Fowler was referee and Messrs. J, M. Crony and Richard Cameron were the judges. Tbe race was. wit nessed by a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who were much interested with the iapid movements of the boats through the water and the evolutions which beame necessary m the contest. The race was sailed under the rules and regulations of the Carolina Yacht Club, was intensely exciting and no accident happened to either craft to mar the pleasure of the occasion. The Magazines.

Still Bluff, Caintuck Township, August 27th, 1884. Editor Review : The long-looked-for Frmers' Dinner and picnic given in honor of our highly esteemed friends, Hon. Wharton J. Green and Major C. W. McClammy, came off to-day and a grand and glorious time it was for old Caintuck. The morning broke beauti fully ; not a single cloud overshadowed the horizon. Early n the morning large crowds of men, women and chil dren, m carriages, buggies, wagons, carts, and some on foot, began to pour in from all parts of this and the adjoin ing counties. About 10 o'clock a. m., our old friend and neighbor from Kel ly's Cove. Mr. R, P. Allen, in company with our noble Representative, Hon. Wharton J. Green, was seen approach ing in a carriage drawn by a handsome pair of ponies. The arrival of Colonel Green was announced by frequent and hearty cheers from the crowd as sembled. Shortly after their arrival the steamers Oklahoma and John Daw son arrived from Point Caswell with a very large crowdtif ladies, gentlemen and children, who come down to take part in the festivities , of the day, and right heartily were they welcomed by they friends from Caintuck. Short ly atter the arrival ot the boats the master of ceremonies. Mr, B. F. Keith, Jr., called the large crowd together under the shade of the oaks where a grand stand and a large number of very comfortable seats had been pre pared, and announced tiie programme for the day. The meeting" was then opened by an elegant prayer by the Rev. Colin Shaw, after which Capt. R. P. Paddison in a very neat and appropri ate speech introduced Hon. Wharton J. Green as the orator of the day. Col. Green took the stand and for an hour and a halt held his audiance spell bound and delighted in one of the grandest speeches that it has ever been our good fortune to listen to in Pender county. Never was a speak er more frequently cheered, and never did a speaker more completely capture the hearts and heads of bis audience than he did. To give you some idea of the power of his speech, I heard the Revs. Colin Shaw and Julian Faison say, that it was ce of the grandest efforts they had ever heard, and that his truthfull words seemed to fall like great sparkling diamonds from his lip. At the close of his speech, Mrs. Joel Hlnes accompanied Miss Meppie Paddison and Mis3 Annie Vollers to the stand and in a neat speech in behalf of the young ladies presented Col. Greeu with a handsome boquet of flowers, which was handsomely replied to in a manner complimentary to the ladies; after whfch Capt Paddison read two letters from Maj. McClammy accepting the invitation to be present and stating that he would be on hand and address his friend if the health of his family would, permit. : It was the "unusual regret of all present that the gallant Major could not be with us. He is a great favorite with the Point Caswell and Caintuck people, as he is throughout the county and the entire district. Capi, Paddison promised tbe people that they should hear from tbe Major on more than one occasion before the campaign ended. The next thing in order was dinner, and oh! how can I describe it? A table, fully a hun dred feet long. loaded till it actually groaned under the weight of the good things, bread, beef, mutton, ham, veg etables, pies, cakes, preserves, pickles and watermelons. Well, we all took it in till we had to surrender, and I really believe there was enough left to feed as many more. Too much praise cannot be eivea the ladies for the man ner in which the dinner was gotten up, and heir efforts to make every one happy. After dinner. Mr. Tierce, the owner of the Oklahoma, gave the ladies an excursion down ' the river on his X beautiful boat, which was highly ap preciated by them. With this closed one ot the most pleasant gatherings that has ever taken place in the history ot Caintuck. Pender. A Nuisance. There are several gangs of colored boys in the city who are an absolute nuisance. They meet together in the alleys, and on the streets on the out skirts of thecityand indulge in fighting, profane and Obscene language to the real annoyance of all well disposed and orderly people. We hope that some means may ba discovered by which they may be suppressed. Every Farmer ought to get a "Boy Clipper Plow," greatest invention of tb3 tz?- Jacoei is Lb3 A cent. f 1884.
