Ex-Senator Hendricks is sixty-five
years old. His parents went from
Pennsylvania to Muskingum county.
Ohio, near Zanesville, early in this cen
tury. The elder Hendricks built a tan
nery.
The late Senator Anthony is said
neverto have used tobacco until he was
fifty years old. Then he was advised
by his physician to try smoking for
bronchitis ; but it did no good and he
soon gave it up.
. .
Ben. Perley Poore, as the life long
friend of Henry B. Anthony, received
by will from the late Senator the
Charles Sumner silver pitcher and cup
and $2,500 in money, making Poore
less poor than he was.
One of the first couples in France to
take advantage of the new divorce law
were named Granville. They were
married fifty years ago. The lady's age
was then sixteen, and fifteen days af
ter the wedding she obtained a separa
tion from her husband.
Mr. Jame3 Gordon Bennett is said to
have a greater number of houses await
ing his occupancy than any other Amer
ican. He has one in Fifth Avenue and
another in Fort Washington, and
rooms at the Herald office. His New
port villa ;s always in readiness, and he
ha3 also a fine establishment in Paris.
Mrs. Charles J. Folger, who died
eight years ago, like her husband, was
born at Nantucket, and her maiden
name was. Susan Worth. She was
married to Judge Folser when she wa3
fresh from school and quite young, wa?
thoroughly dome3ti never in unison
with her husband's political ambitions
was endeared to host3 of friends, and
though changing her name to Folger,
always retained her worth.
Christopher '. Matthews, a Lynchburg
lad, is a rival of the numerous magnetic
girls, his specialty being the moving of
heavy tables, with men opposing him
A heavy oak table, which his father
owns, has been badly used up by him,
and is now under repairs. A few nights
ago, it is alleged, he kept a table susv
pended in the air at a neighbor's house,
with four or five men attempting with
all their strength to get it to the floor.
Here is something more about the
proposed fusion of the Democrats and
Butlcrites in Pennsylvania. It is in the
shape of a special from Pittsburg to the
World:
The sentiment in favor of a fusion
between the Democrats and Bullerites
in this State has been gaining strength
very rapidly during the past few 'days,
and now bids fair to become an assured
fact. The labor party, especially in
Alleghany County, look with favor
upon the movement, and leading- labor
representatives, like Thos. A. Arm
strong, are its warm supporters. On
Saturday W. U. Hensel, Chairman of
the Democratic State Commiitee, visited
this city and held a conference with the
county chairmen of all the Western
counties of the State. This conference
lasted several hours and the subject of
fusion was carefully considered. It is
now known that the prevailing senti
ment at the conference was strongly in
favor of the proposed movement. It
is stated that a conference of the lead
ers of both parties will soon be held, at
which the details of the fusion will be
agreed upon as follows: "The Demo
crats will withdraw eight names from
their electoral ticket, seven electors and
one elector at large, and Butler men
will be substituted. This fusion when
effected will receive a hearty support
and place Pennsylvania m tne list oi
doubtful States. 4
The Grave and Victory.
The Ashmore, Illinois. Citizen, pub
lishes the certificate of Mr. Abram
Beaver, an inmate of Coles county poor
house, which sets forth that he suffered
years with acute rheumatism, and was
given up to die by his physicians, but
as a last chance they tried St. Jacobs
Oil, the great pain-reliever, and by a
few applications he was cured. To this
is added the certificate of the Superin
tendent to the truth of the statement
and the paper adds, 'any one desiring
further information can correspond

Theytell a good joke that Major
Stedinan thrust at Judge Faircloth the
other day. Faircloth twitted Major
Stedman with reading nothing but the
Bible and the Democratic Campaign
Book. "In each of them." replied
Stedman, I find nothing but eternal
perdition for Republicans and Phari-
sees.
Journalistic.
We have neglected to notice the Ral
eigh Chronicle since it come out as a
daily afternoon paper for the reason
that the earlier members failed to reach
us. It is ably edited, neatly gotten up
and we trust that it may receive the
patronage its merits richly deserve.
Something Straoffe.
It seems curious to note that while
there was but a mere sprinkling of rain
on the river front yesterday forenoon
there was a heavy shower within a
short distance, only as far East as
Eighth and Ninth streets. The cloud
was from the East and broke when it
reached the outskirts of the city.
Personal.
Our genial friend W. T. Bannerman,
Esq., clerk of the Superior Court of
Pender county, was in the city to-day.
Dr. E. Porter wss iu the city to-day,
and he reports that the crop3 in the vi
cinity of Rocky Point arc turning out
quite well. The farmers are busy in
harvesting their cotton and other crops,
which will be considerably larger than
was at one time expected.
Rev. W. M. Kennedy, of Warsaw,
gave us-the pleasure of a call this after
noon . He states that a revival meet
ing is now in progress ; at Riley's
Creek Church in Pender county, of
which Mr. Kennedyis the pastor. He
is assisted in the meeting by Rev. R.
T. Bryan, who is a young clergyman
of great promise for future nsefnlness.

Tbe Cornet Concert Club.
. The Wilmington Light4 Infantry are
very anxious for the Cornet Concert
Club to accompany them to Raleigh and
it is now thought that they will be suc
cessful as nearly all the members of the
club have signified their willingness
to attend. We hope that the .business
of the members of the club may be so
arranged that they may turn out with a
full complement of instruments, as their
music would excite much attention and
would prove an attractive feature of
the opening exercises.
A Phenomenon.
Last night, at 11 o'clock, there was a
smart sprinkling of rain from a clear
sky. It was one of the strangest things
we ever witnessed. Overhead there
was not a cloud and the stars were
shining as bright and clear a3 we have
ever seen them. To the North and to
the West there were a few light clouds
but they were well removed from the
zenith. There was no wind, the at
mosphere having been calm and still.
And yet, without clouds overhead and
without wind, there was a shower of
rain.
Chicken Thieves.
One of these midnight marauders vis.
ited the premises of Mr. John Dyer
last night and found the key to the hen
coop and coolly unlocked the door and
took from the roost five nice hens, leav
ing nothing but a rooster. The thief
must have been well acquainted with
the premises and knew just where the
key was kept. If this sort of work is
continued much longer we shall insist
that there ought to be a reduction in
the price of poultry. As chickens cost
nothing but the slight trouble of catch
ing them the present prices are alto
gether exhorbitant.
Fine Fruits.
In the room over Briggs' Pharmacy
Capt. S. W. Noble3 and his assistants
were busily employed this morning in
packing for shipment to the State Ex
position, jars of fruit of various des
criptions among which, we noticed,
were plums, apples, pears, peaches and
grapes. These had been preserved in
alcohol several days ago, the action cf
which had turned the fruits of an uni
form almost black color, which made
them look anything but pretty. Sul
phuric acid had been substituted within
the last few days, which bad restored
them to nearly their original freshness
and beauty and they presented a fine
appearance. They will be shipped to
day. . .
Attempted Burglary.
At about half past 3 o'clock this
morning, Mr. J. G. Voss, who lives in
Blount's alley, between Market and
Princess-street9, was aroused by the
screams of his daughter from an ad
joining room, who said that there was
a man trying to get into the house Mr.
Yoss ran hastily out, but the burglar
had fled. The daughter caid that she
was awoke by some noise and the first
that her -sight rested upon was the
figure of a man in the window, when
she immediately gave tbe alarm. She
had retired, leaving the window up, but
with tbe blinds closed and fastened.
These latter the scamp had forced open
To facilitate his entrance, the 'burglir
had found a tub from which he bad
emptied tbe water and placed it bottom
up to stand on while forcing the blinds.
On the same night, either before or
after the raid upon Mr, Voss house,
the same or some other burglar at
tempted to enter the house of Mrs.
George, in the same alley, where he
succeeded also in forcing the blinds,
but failed to gain an entrance, although
he broke a pane of glass iu making the
attempt.
And the burglar also made an at
tempt to enter the house of Captain
LemmeroiaD, in tbe same alley, and so
far succeeded as to raise a window and
take a small satchel which bung con
eniently near. It is supposed that tbe
thief was sure that he had captured a
prize, as many ladies carry money and
valuables in satchels of the description
he had gotten, and went off to be dis
appointed, as there was nothing of value
in U, and the thief threw it in disgust
into the grass, where it was found this
Lcrninj.

The Younjr Democracy.
The Yonng Men's Progressive Dem
ocratic Club ; met at , the City. Court
Room last night, pursuant ib previous
announcement. The President, Mr.
W. H. Strauss, was in the chair and
called the meeting to order,; and the
Secretary. Mr. E. F. Johnson, ma.de a
record of the proceedings. The meet
ing was of an entirely business charac
ter, and from tbcenthnsism ii an i Tested
it was apparent that the Club,, which
has already carolled 125 jbembcrs,
will do good and faithful service in
the campaign. The committee appoint
ed for the purpose reported ftbat they
had secured sufficient funds with which
to supply the Club with helmets and
torches and that the same bad bcty
ordered and would be here ih season
for the parade next Mondjiy night.
The Committee on Invitations was in
structed to co-operate with the County
Executive Committee 'in making ar
rangements for the Monday night's pa
rade. : ! I ,
The Cluh will hold their nxt meet
ing some time next week, and probably
in the Fifth Ward. Several speakers of
note have been invited to j address the
Club, among whom is Gen. Moisc, of
South Carolina. ; ? " -
Try Peppermint.
The cultivation of peppermint in the
United States is not carried on to any
great extent except in Western New
York and in Michigan. It is an enter
prise in. which there is more money
than many imagine. When dried ready
for' market it is worth $3 a pound. An
acre will yield from eight to filteen
pounds, according to the fertility of the
soil. It thrives best on low,; swampy
soils, and requires very little' cultiva
tion. Almost any of the low, swamp
lands of the Ea3torn portion ' of this
State would produce it in abundance.
We hope some of our farmers will
give the enterprise a trial next.year.
