The NatUical Gazette says that nine
tenths of all the disasters at sea occur
in thu second male's watcb, and it con
cludes that a very largo proportion of

should be examined and licensed ju3t

An unpublished and very character
istic epitaph by Burns is printed by a
Dumfries journal:
lieneath these Bods lies drunken Rhode?,
Vba ne'er was keuned to drink cauld
water, .
Like ciack o' mill the whiskey fiill
Inspired his tongue wi' endless clat
ter. ..
A very small word often makes a
great difference, either by being omitted
or superadded. Thus the Butte (Mon
tana) Inter-Mountain publishes a supple
mentary wedding notice in which,
" speaking of one that had already ap
peared, it says: "The statement should
have read that they were 'married a
few days ago.' instead of 'married a
tow days,' as the wedding contract was
doubtless intended to ba permanent."
The City of Brotherly Love must be
the abiding piace of nearly all the
"Fiench spoliation" claimants. Al
ready demands to the amount of $8.
000,000 have been filed from Philadel
phia. It is calcuiated that persons
claiming abont one-third ot the money
will not be able to substantiate their
relationship with those who suffered
the loss. The amount of claims in ex
istence is estimated at $12,000,000.
An appeal for clergymen to go there
is published in a Houston, Idaho, pa
per, which says: "Among our people
are many who desire an opportunity to
attend religious services, and tbey are
already making arrangements for the
construction of suitable edifices in
which to hold them. First come best
served ; theretore, Gospel men should
not delay, for 'now is the accepted
time!'"
James Em mitt is a rich and eccentric
old Democrat of Waverly, Ohio. He
is also the owner of a large brass can
non, and every morniug since Cleve
land's election he has aroused the echoes
of the Scioto Valley, and also the ire of
his Republican neighbors, by firing a
salute of three guns. Mr. Emmitt pur
poses to continue his 'exuberant and
disturbing demonstrations until the 4th
of March.
.
The Hopkins, Mo.. Journal tells this
story, apropos of the low price of corn
io the West : "Some weeks ago, when
corn was at its lowest notch, a farmer
brought a load to town and inquired
the price, 'Fifteen cents.' was the re
ply. The farmer paused and gazed
upon the ground thoughtfully. At last
be said: 'I wonder it there ain't any
place in town whore I could trade that
load of corn lor a load of cobs. I'm
about out of wood'."
The Washington monument has al
ready been turned to a scientific use.
Prof. Si mon Newcomb has been using
the top of the monument for measuring
the velocity of light, and believes that
he has obtained more accurate data for
estimating the distance and magnitude
of the sun. The velocity of light is
measured with a degree of accuracy
n.ver before obtained. Prof. New
comb toils a reporter of the Philadel
phia Tunes that he thinks the error in
his calculations cannot exceed one
four-hundred-miUionth part of a second.
It is quite possible that these and other
uses of the unsightly pile on the Poto
mac may render it beautiful for useful
ness, and therefore a fit monument of
Washington.

platform teachers; and he has ever

He speaks entirely without notes, and
embellishes his lectures with a felicity

bodies are extremely beautiful, and re
ceive the highest commendation of his
audiences.

T
A Centenarian.
Ceasar Smith, colored, died yester
day at his heme in Marstellar street.
He was undoubtedly a centenarian,
and the death certificate placed him at
100 years of age. He leaves children,
grand children and great grand-children,
come of whom claim that he was
120 years old. He had always lived in
the city or in the immediate vicinity,
and was known by many of our
people.

Raleigh & Augusta Air Line, was in

Rev. T. W. Dosh, D. D , of Salem.

and is the guet of Rev. F. W. E. Pes.
chau Dr. Dosh will preach, in Eng
lish, to-morrow night, at St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church, services
to commence at hair-past 7 o'clock.
A Warm Wave.
It rained hard nearly ail night and
from cold, raw weather in the early
part of the night, there was a arm
wave struck the Jcityabouf 9 30 o'clock
last night which was really phenome
nal. Tho murcurv rose rapidly in the
thermometers and many who nad reatcher: Theae officera are all located
tired with an extra amount ot covering
upon their beds were forced by the
heat to discard a portion of it. For a
considerable part of the night the at
moshere was warmer out of doors than
it was in tireless rooms.
This Morning's Fire.
At about 4 o'clock this morning some
of our citizens, residing in the South -
ern portion of the city, were Btarbled
in alarm from their slumbers by twol
loud reports, one immediately following
the other, and were astonished to find
the store of Mr. B. Bellois, on the South
west corner of Ann and Seventh streets,
a mass of flames. The explosions were
probably caused by a can of kerosene
and a keg of power becoming ignited.
The alarm was at once given and the
firemen were promptly on hand, but
tho flames had gotten such headway
when the fire was discovered that it
was impossible to save cither the store
or any of its conteuts. There was in
surance on the store amounting to $700
and the same on the stock, making the
total insurance $1,400, in the German
American Insurance Co , represented
in this city by Messrs. Atkinson &
Manning; Mr. C. Bellois. a Brother of
the proprietor, was sleeping in the
store at the time and was awoke by
being almost strangled by the dense
volume ot smoke wiuh which the room
was filled. He had barely strength to
get to the rear door and remove the
bar and escape lrom the building,
when he was overcome and fell help
less in the street. A moment later he
would have been suffocated and beyond
the reach of human aid.
Shooting Affair.
John Turner, colored, living on Ran
kin street, was badly wounded on
Thursday night, by some party whom
he claims assaulted him as he was re
turning from a lodge meeting. Dr. F.
W. Potter was notified yesterday of the
affair and visited the wounded man to
whom he rendered all the assistance
possible. Mayor Hall took the affidav
it of Turner, which was substantially
as follows: He was on his way home
from lodge meeting on 'the night in
question, and was near his house when
a party of men appeared in sight by
one oi whom he was bailed. He re"
plied, "hello," When the men began fir
ing on him, one ot the balls taking
effect in the Upper portion of the thigh.
Turner ran and hid himself in the
bushes, where he remained conceal
ed during the remainder of the
nigbt and until daylight yester
day morning, when he ventured
to go home. Turner swore, thit the
man who shot him was Charles Geyer,
a colored man and one of the leading
spirits in the Labor Union, and upon
affidavit being made to that effect
Mayor Hall issued a warrant and had
Geyer arrested and bound over in the
sum of $100 for his appearance before
him. in bis capacity of justC3 of the
peace, as soon as Turner is able to be
present to testify in the matter.
'-To rner to-day is as comtortable as
could be expected; but has been
found thus far impossible to remove the
builet. It will probably be several days
before he will be in a condition to ap
pear before a court to testify in the
matter, and the nature of the wound
will probably cause him annoyance aor
some time to come, and unless care is
used in his nursing it may prove very
serious in its consequences.
REYIEW.
Chicken Thieves.
Some of these growlers last bight
visited the premises of Mr. W. M.
Poisson, oo Mulberry street, between
Sixth aad Seventh, probably for the
purpose ol selecting a tew chickens for
their Sunday's dinner, but were heard
by Mr. Poisson, who in starting to see
what was the matter, made some noise
which alarmed the thieves, and they de
camped minus the poultry. It seems
however, that they were determined to
feast oa Mulberry street chicken, for
they went across the street and visited
the premises oT Mr. A W. Watson,
and stole every chicken in bis coop.
