Eadsis trying to secure the Great Eastern, now in British waters. to seed to the New Orleans Exhibition He is interested personally because-he wants to show people that eeii the Great Eastern can pass tnrongh the ictties at the mouth of the Mississippi. An English banker, possessed of pe culiar advantages for forming an opin ion on the subject, estimates that the amount of letters of credit issued this season in England for foreign travelers falls short of the usua sum by about $20,000,000. The cholera is responsible for this falling off. Father Bilimek, confessor to the Em peror Maximilian, died a few days ago at the Miramar Castle, near Trieste, Austria. Bilimek accompanied Maxi milian on his expedition to Mexico. shared his fortunes and has finally died in Maximiilian's castle. He was a dis tinguished naturalist. . An immense dog, a cross between a mastiff and a St. Bernard, savagely at tacked a young man at Edmonton. England, and wonld have killed him had not bis sister come to the rescue. The girl fought the beast courageously and desperately, and was badly bitten' but she conquered him. -. Leopold Buron, the well-known Spanish tragedian, has arrived in New York, on his way to Havana. He will will remain there about three months, and in the Spring will play an an engagement in New York with an American support. As he speaks only Spanish, his par. will be in that tongue. The late Duke of Wellington used to say: "I'm all right. If they abolish the House of Lords. I shall go over to Belgium. I'm Prince of Waterloo there. When the Great Powers swallow up Belgium I can still live in Spain, where I am Duke Ciudad Rodrigo. And if Spain collapses, I shall retire to Portu gal, where I shall end my days as Mar quis oi Torres Vedras and Count of Vimiero." At the bicycle tournament at Spring field, Mass.. last week, ten miles were covered by Howell, an Englishman, in thirty minutes and thirty-niue seconds time which some of our fastest horses could not beat some years ago. It is not unlikely that wheelmen, with the aid of the improvements that inventors are constantly making in their vehicles, will in a few years be able to distance our fastest horses. The ex-minister to Portugal, Mr. Her yey, who was private secretary of Mr. Dayid Davis while the latter was Pres ident of the Senate, thinks that Gover nor Cleveland will be elected by the larg est majority ever given to a President. The States of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Indian, Wisconsin, Michi gan, Kansas. Colorado and Nevada, he claim, will go Democratic,! and the chances in Ohio and Illinois, he says, are excellent. What's the best soil to the acher? St. Jacobs Oil. Price, 50 cents. LOCAL NEWS.

Sheriff.Taylor. of Brunswick, who has recently travelled through the coun ty, has kindly furnished us with some interesting items. He says that early corn is fair and that late corn is poor. Cotton is very poor and ihe average will not be one-halt of a crop. On the other hand the rice crops are very fine were never better. T -The Superior Court adjourned on Tuesday last at 12 o'clock . The docket was light and this fact speaks well for the county. Judge Shepherd was much admired by the people: - s As for political matters in the county Sheriff Taylor," to use his own langnage, gays : "Politics are below pari Blame and Cleveland could scarcely cct up a The Opera House. The Opera . House presented a very handsome and attractive appearance last evening. Capt. Pennypacker. the lessee. ha3 made some appreciable im provements there during the Summer monlns. We notice that the paint brush has been liberally used, that some of the walls have been papered, that the cornices and gas burners have been renovated and that new mattins has been laid. Humpty-Dumpty. - Our beautiful and co3y little Opera House was opened last night for the first time this season with Tony De- nier's Humpty Dunipty Troupe as the attraction. The house was well filled with an appreciative audience, among whom, it seemed to us, the juvenile element predominated. The performs ance, as a whole was very good, but not quite as good as we expected to find it. Some of the specialties, tbough Were excellent, notably the acrobatic' performances and the exhibition of the trick dogs, these being among the best we have ever seen on our stage. Pompey Sneed Again. This notorious individual bad a dual examination in the Court House this morning before Justices Millis and Hill. The first case was before Justice Milliss for assault and battery with a deadly weapon upon Henry Moore, colored. The testimony went to show thatPompey beat Moore on the head and arm with a pistol, inflicting quite severe wounds. He was required to give bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court. Justice Hill then appeared with a warrant charging Pompey with break ing and entering the store of Stioedolf and stealing a watch and other property. On account of the ab sence of an inportant witness for the State this case was continued to the first Wednesday in October and the prisoner was committed to jail in de fault of $100 bond for his appearance when wanted. A Valuable Publication. Ayer's "American Newspaper An nual'Mor 1884 has been received. It is exceedingly well prepared and of special value. It contains a carefully prepared list of all newspapers and pe- riodicals in the United States and Can ada, arranged by States in geographical sections, a 3d by towns in alphabetical order. Also, complete lists of all the religious or agricultural periodicals, of medical, commercial, scientific, educa tional or any other of the class publica tions. In it is given the population of every State, territory, county and county-seat; of all the large cities and towns, and of almost every place in which a newspaper is published; also the colored population, by counties, in the Southern and South western States, and.the Chinese popula tion on the Pacific slope. It has a list of the cities, towns and villages of the United States having a population of 5,000 and up ward, arranged iu alphabet ical .order. It is unequalled for full ness, correctness, compactness of state ment, of statement, variety and value of contents, and freedom from favor itism or prejudice. The price is $3. carriage paid. It. is published by Messrs. N. W. Ayer & Son. Phhiladel phia, Pa. joint Discussions. The people of Wilmington are liable to be misjudged iu some things which have been published in regard to the effect of a joint discussion between Scales and York here. It may be that the prevailing . opinion is against a joint discussion, but if so it is not based upon any apprehension of a riot or bloodshed, or any disturb ance of the public peace. This is as peaceable and orderly a community as any other in or out of North Carolina, and as there have been no riots conse quent upon the joint discussions of Messrs. Scales and York in other places, so also therewould be none here. The opposition to snch discussion arises from a different source: viz: an indisposition to furnish an audience to Mr. York which he would not other wise get. and a desire to avoid the con sequent danger of a "wider dissemina tion of his demagic appeals. From all accounts Geo. Scales is superior to York on the stump, but that fact alone is not considered by some as a suflicien compensation for the possible loss which might arise from stirring up a more active oppostion than now exists, or is otherwise likely to exist, in this part of the State. The danger of a riot is not apprehended, and it is putting th3 people oi Wilmington in a false po tltlca to zo iitlntc. -; Complaint has been made ;to us that our few remarks yesterday relative to the scarcity of good beef In tfti3 market were somewhat erroneous. This view ot the question - is borne out by the fact that Messrs. J. R. Melton arid Geo: F. Tilley both advertise in this issue tho ar rival here of carloads of suneib 4 ? mountain beef which , will stock .this market for a week to come. . We 'have not seen these cattle but understand from those .who have that it is about the finest brought here in .years. !! Military.
