VOL. VIII. WILMINGTON. N. C. "WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1884. NO 210
It is not necessary for the force of an
epigram that it ibonld bo. strictly true.
Iiord Randolph Churchill, being asked
what he thought of Irving, said: "I
don't know that I should call him. a
great actor, but he is certainly a curious
on-. He is always Iruing cn the stage,
and always Hamlet in private life."
The increased severity of the admin
istration in Spain ia collecting taxes is
producting marked results. Much tax.
able wealth which hitherto evaded the
tax gatherers is continually coming to
light. The cases of defalcations in Ma
drid alone now exceed 2,000, and the
evasions of direct taxation all over the
peninsula reach a large amount.
This is the stanza ot a song which
threatens to rival the popularity 67 the
"imgon ballard ot Disraeli's timo in
England, and John Bright joined with
the twenty thousand in singing it at
Manchester:
The haughty Peers must pass the bill
And stand not m the way;
Peers over people must not rule
In this enlightened day.
It is an insult to the intelligence and
decency of workiugnien to call Butler
their candidate. Ho has not a princi"
pie or an impulse in sympathy with
labor. An insincere ofiice-hunter and
shameless demagogue he will get the
vote of no working mau who is not
wholly misled, nor the vote of any in
telligent person who does not look upon
the Presidential canvass .as a farce or a
game.
When Hartmann, the Nihilist, vras
with Sophia Provskaja (hanged in
1881) working at the mine, beneath a
line of railroad, with the view of killing
the Czar while passing, he became in
need of funds to finish the work, and
Sophia suggested that he pawn his
watch, which be did for eight roubles.
This absence of the watch caused him
subsequently to make an error in . the
time of firing the match, and to this the
Czar owed his life.
Soothing: Influence.
Iains and inflammtions resulting from
severe injuries are greatly relihved and
cured, at once, by the outward applica
tion of St Jacobs Oil, the great pain

enjoyed the occasion.
The Wounded i'oliceman.
Policeman Latham was suffering
considerable pain this morning, al
though his condition was no worse than
might reasonably have been expected.
The ball has yet been extracted, andJ
that, lodged among the muscles of the
shoulder, aside from the rugged track
it made across the breast, tearing flesh
and muscle in its course, would neces
sarily cause considerable pain and un
easiness. In our roport in yesterday's issue, we
made it appear that Officer Latham
was at his own house, off duty, when
be heard the shooting and rushed to the
scene, when, in fact, be was on duty
and was in another street at the time
on his way to meet his sergeant, but
hearing the shots and screams repaired
to the place where the tumult was in
progress.
Success of a Pender Boy-
A competitive examination was held
last Saturday in this city for a clerkship
in the Auditor's department of the
Wilmington & Weldon R&ilroad Com
pany. A number of candidates pre
sented themselves in accordance with
an advertisement calling tor a young
man for a clerkship in said department.
The examination, fair and impartial,
was rigid and protracted. The choice
fell upon S. S. Satchwell, Jr., as haying
passed the' best examination. He is a
lad of only sixteen years of age, and is
the son of Dr. S. S. Satchwell, of Pen
der. The creditable success of this
lad, over so many older applicants for
the desirable position thus won, is
complimentary to Pender and to the
Warsaw High School, ot "which he has
been a pupil for the last twelve months.
Porapey Sneed.
This notable individual is wanted.
-He is lost to sight,' although 'to
memory dear,' and there seems to be a
determination to hunt him up. to as
certain his whereabouts and bring him,
will-nilly, within the hands and power
of the law. Officer Strode this morn,
ing was busy in serving summons upon
50 good and true white men as a posse
comitatus to go and assist in searching
for the aforesaid Pompcy and each
person was warned to appear with
'sword and pistol by his" side' or ia
other warlike ai ray. None wanted to
go; they had no relish for the job I and
they had so mdeh business to attend to
that to leave would send
everything' to . the "demnition
bowwow." The officer was in
nearly every instance inexorable and
they were compelled to put themselves
in 'martial array" and "root hog or
die," which means that they had to go
or run the risk of being defendants in
contempt at the next term of court
They went and whether they "saw and
conquered" remains to be ascertained.
Among those summoned was a well
known gentleman who is in such feeble
health that be has made all his arrange
ments to leave for New York on Sat
urday next, where he wjll be treated
by an eminent physician. His excuse
of li'-hcalth didn't count worth a cent,
and he was obliged to obtain a medical
ceitificate ot disability before he could
be excused..

The Exposition.
Mr. S. G. Worth. Fish Commission
er of North Carolina, whose arrival in
the city is announced iu our persona
column, gave us the pleasure of a call
this afternoon. He informs us that he
has seen many of the exhibits prepar
ed by our citizens for the State Expo
sition and is highly gratified at the dis
play which will be presented by this
city and county, as they will be highly
creditable and important in aiding to
advance the best interests of the section
and State.
The Kazoo.
The small boy is now in his glory.
Heljas' got a "kazoo." We should
imagine that all the boys .in the city
had been supplied and the way they
kazoo" the city throws Guy Wright's
band entirely in eclipse. We heard a
band of about 6.000 ot them-judging
from the noise last night and they
furnished mu3ic for the eastern section
of the city whichjwas a foe to all ideas of
sleep. The small boy of Wilmington
is a lively creature and the kazoo is
his latest inspiration.

In the New York Naval Stores and
Tobacco Reporter we find a list of the
officers of the Naval Stores and To
bacco Exchange among whom are the
names of Messrs. G. W. Baily and
Harry P. Russell, both well known,
names in this city. Both occupy im
portant and trust-worthy positions on
the different committees of the Ex
change, places for which they are emi
nently well qualified. Mr. Baily ap
pears as a member of , the Arbitration
Committee and of the Trade Commits
tee on Naval Stores and Mr. Russell is
Chairman of the Committee on Fi
nance, a member of the Committee on
Naval Stores Quotations and one of
that Board of Trustees of the Exchange.
Registration of Druggists.
It is a fact not generally known that at
the last session of the legislature thephar
macy act was amended so as to apply
generally throughout the State. Here
tofore there was a clause exempting
towns of less than five hundred inhabi
tants from the operation of the law. It
is now necessary under this law for all
druggists to be registered. All having
three yesrs experience and those now
in business on their own account are
entitled to such registration. Applica
tions can be made to the secretary of
the board of pharmacy, Mr. Simpson,
of Raleigh, who will furnish the
necessary blanksfor registration. Such
registration can oe made within ninety
days by simply applying and remitting
the fee, which is nominal. After the
ninety days have expired registration
can only be effected by applying for
examination as to qualifications.
Personal.
Dr. S. S. Satchwell, of Rocky Point,
was in the city to-day.
Mr. George Harriss,' Jr., has been
appointed a Notary Public. He re
ceived his appointment to-day and will
qualify at once.
Mr. S. G. Worth, Fish Commissioner
of North Carolina, was in the, city to

morning for the Northern markets for
the purchase of Fall and Winter goods.
Mr. J. Elsbach has returned to the
city .alter an absence of several months
looking, we are pleased to say, much
improved bv his sojourn in the moun
tains. Our musical friend, Prof, J. D.
Smitbdeal, arrived in the city this
morning and registered at the Com
mercial Hotel, ne will leave again to
night for the North.
Mr. (J. Prigge, Jr., formerly of this
city, but now the Manager ot the
Bortsmoutb, Va., Telephone Exchange,
has' been elected a member of the
American Institute of Electrical Engin
eers, and is now in attendance at the
Electoral Convention of Electricians,
which is in progress at Philadelphia,
having obtained a leave of absence for
that purpose. Congress has made a
liberal appropriation for the convention
and good results are expected from the
deliberations of the body. Mr. Prigge
has prepared a pamphlet, upon the sub
ject of the use and nature of telephones.
He has had considerable practical ex
perience in the management and work
ins lot telephonea.and we have no doubt
that his pamphlet will be an interesting
and instructive work.

No planet is occulted by the moon in

some favored mortals may see her pass
over Aldcbaran ou the 10th, and;lobser

think with the agriculturalists Hof old
that by a merciful interposition of prov
idence the day is thus prolonged jto help
the husbandman in his labor. But
we may be equally erateful for the beau

moonlight quickly succeed the snort
