Pedder, of notoriety in re gard to the affairs of Arnold. Consta ble & Co. and of the late Manhattan, is living now in the Island of St. Kitts, one ot the, West Indies, where he was born. There a business which nets its mana ger $25 a month makes a nabob of him. It has been discovered by the Tren ton, N J..

This is equal to 100 bushels of wheatJ in Kansas at 43 cents per bushel, with this difference: It would cost as much to raise and harvest the wheat as it vvouid bring, while the proceeds of the turkey were gain. Tbe discoverer ot the richest of the Lcadville silver mines sold his claim at once for $40,000, and during the follow ing year the two purchasers made $1, 000,000 each from it. Meanwhile, the discoverer squandered his $40,000 in prospecting, and the ether day, a home less tramp, he applied for a night's lodgings at the Lcadville ttationhouse. The London Echo says: "While our navy is reported to be gone to the dogs,' and the national industries are sup posed to be following the navy, it must fill every well-conditioned Briton's heart with delight and pride to learn from the papers that the repairsing and refitting of the royal yaeht are just, com plete. The bill is only 50,000 sterl ing." . An Italian dramatist, Signor Tito Maaimoli, has lost no time in making capital out of the recent occurrence in the Pari Palais de Justice.

A specimen ot the manner in which public business is transacted may be !ound by investigation of khe affairs of the Congressional House Committee on Ventilation and Acoustics. This com mittee has spent nearly $1,800 for clerk hire and stationery, to say nothing of other expenses, and its gross pro duct is one little resolution providing for tbe remoyal of the screens between the members' desks and tbe lobby a job that would cost, perhaps. $10.

She Got Them. If some of our citizens, who have re cently lost their chickens, had pursued the plan adopted by a colored woman a short time since, they might have found their property and at the same time gotten a clue to the thief. Tbe woman to whom we refer arose one morning, not long since, and found that some thiet during tbe night had stolen her chickens, and upim the discovery of her loss she proceeded as quickly as possible the market where she soon found them and took them home in triumph. She says, "The measly no 'count niggers needn't try to steal my chick'ns. fer I'll find 'em ebery timeV The same plan, if pursued by other vic tims, would undoubtedly produce tbe same successful result.

We understand that the question of an iron bridge for Smith's Creek has been mooted and that the matter has been serionsly considered by the Board ot County Commissioners, who have not, however, as yet come to a decision upou the matter. It will probably also be brought up at the next meeting of the Board of Justices of the Peace. Little Bridge, as the structure is known, spans Smith's Creek, on the public road, just North of the city lim its. It has always been a trouble and a tribulation to the managers of county affairs and has a knack of tumbling into the creek every few years. It has been repaired and rebuilt a number ot times since tbe war and tbe amount which has been expended upon it in that period of time would probably pay the cost of a good iron bridge which would last well into the next century. It would be econ omy, we think, to put upan iron bridge there and especially at this time while the materal is so low in price. Indications. For the South Atlantic States, fair weather, followed during Wednesday by local rains, warmer Southerly, shifting to Easterly winds, and tailing barometer. KEYIEW. List of Letters.

The supply of hints and directions for art workers is generously maintained, and "My Note Book" and the dramatic teuilleton are especially entertaining. Price 35 cents. Montague Marks, Publisher, 23 Union Square, New York. Editor Review I see that your "esteemed cotemporary," the Star, rushes fearlessly intc the breach in fa vor of the no-fence people. His opin ions on all points, especially on those relating to agricultural matters, are of course highly valuable especially in the way of keeping the crow from the corn by eating the crow but yet there are a few things to be said tor the "fel lows who depredate on their neighbors and who live at the expense of others", meaning thereby, we presume, all who differ with the agricultural editor of the Star on tbe fence law question. "Hear the other side" ho says and then with his usual fairness and candor he goes on to describe the other side as ' fellows who live at the expense of their neighbors." Well, never mind, the Star is not the Legislature and it is to the representatives of the people and not to the Star man that the question of a no-fence law for New Hanover is to be submitted.
