A writer in Science, discussing the

while this has fncreased twenty per

hope for. He grestty doubts, indeed,

This Mornin&r'sFtre.
At about 3 :30 o'clock this morning
fire was discovered on the roof of the
small one-story frame dwelling on
North Second street , next North of the
Northeast intersection of that street
with Hanover street. The building
was occupied by a colored family.
The alarm was promptly given, but
owing to the unseasonable hour and
the intensity of the cold the flames had
gotten such headway before the arrival
of the fire department, that the build
ing was totally destroyed. The
two--slory frame store house and
dwelling on the corner of
Hanover and North Second streets,
which was also occupied by colored
families caught fire and the root was
burned oil". This latter building, was
in imminent peril of total destruction
and was saved by the best efforts of the
firemen. Tho property belonged to
Mr. Martin llathjen, and was insured in
the Wilmington Mutual to the amount
of $400 on the smaller building and
$800 on lue larger. The dwelling next
North of tho building destroyed, be
longing to Mrs. Strauss, was somewhat
scorched, but sustained no serious dam

Lieut. -Governor Stedman.
Hon. Cha3. M. Stedman, Lieutenant
Governor of North Carolina, assumed
the daiies of his office on Wednesday,
and is now the presiding officer of the
Senato. The following handsome al
lusion to this distinguished gentleman
is taken from the editorial columns of
the News and Observer:
Major Charles Manly Stedman, of
W ilmington, who yesterday took the
place as second in command of the
ship of Stato. had not up to the open
ing of the last campaign taken any
prominent part in the politics of the
State, though he had from early youth,
in an unconspicuous manner, done
much and faithful service in the cause
of sound Democracy and had been made
prominent by the deserved admiration
of his friends in the politics of his
citv and Congressional district. But
on accenting the nomination for the'
office be holds he proved tno wisdom
of the convention's choice, for he can
vassed the -State with such zeal and
eloquence that his fame spread like
wildxfire from the mountains to
the seaboard. He established for
himself a reputation tor logical, forci
ble and eloquent appeals trom the
stump, equalled only by the reputation
he already enjoyed as a bri'liant advo
cate at the bar. His opponent was
rarely, if ever , heard of, and though
perhaps the most respectable candidate
on the Republican ticket, seemed only
in the contest to accept as evident.even
to bimseif, his position of a leader of a
forlorn hope". Major Stedman is ot that
class of our people who have taken into
ihair own hands the work of carving
out their personal fortunes and the
fortunes of the State. He represents
the lately awakened spirit of mate
rial progress which has already
produced most valuable results, and
nothing that he can do to ad
vance the best interests of the people
will be left undone. Successful bimseif
he will be able to impart the elements
of success to whatever is intended for
the State's good that shall come
under bis control. He is a man of
strong convictions and earnest speech,
liberal and patriotic, able, honest nd
eloquent. He 'is of singularly fine
personal presence and ot the most
pleasing address. In him the State
has an officer of whom it may in every
way be proud. He will preside over
the deliberations of the Senate in a
manner to lend dignity to its proceed
ings, dispatch the public business and
fully satisfy the senators.
Major Stedman was born in Chat
ham county in 1841. but removed with
his family at an early age to Fayette
ville. In 1857 he entered the State
University and graduated with first
distinction. When the war broke out
be went to the front in the ranks ofjhe
Fayetteville Light Infantry, and his
career as a soldier was in the highest
degree honorable to himself and to tne
Stato he served. He emerged from
the strngele Major ot the forty-fourth
regiment, North Carolina volunteers,

ing a school at Pittsboro and renewing
the study of the law which he had four
years before begun. In 1866 he obtain
ed license to practice in the caarts oi

Mr. Cicero Harris, in a recent letter
