The war jn the Soudan has seriously
affected the trade in gum arabic. Prices

since the supply of this article is drawn

It a much longer period will result in
a kudq arabic famine.
In business circles in New York the
fee ing is that as the spring advances
there will be a brisktrade all around. Iin"
pruvemtnt in some branches is already
noticed, and the character of advices
daily received by merchants from the
interior is such as to warrant the belief
that the anticipation wiil not be dis
apiointed. The population of London is shelter

False Alarm.
There was an alarm of fire at half
past 5 o'clock Saturday evening, which
was said to be at the corner ot Dock
and Twelfth streets, but it proved to be
a false alarm as no fire could be found.
The firemen turned out promptly, but
their services were not called into re
quisition.
Tv o Good Tliiutrs.
Wilmington has a gallant lire de
partment, skilful and well equipped
and our citizens have had good cause
to feel proud of the fact, and thankful
for it, too. during the past two weeks.
And the water works are an undisguis
ed blessing to the entire town. May
the shadow of our noble firemen never
grow less and may they always find a
heavy pressure ready whenever they
have occasion to tap a fire-plug.
Painful Accident.
Evelina, the nine-years old daughter
of Sam Clayton, colored, went to the
machine shops of the Wilmington &
Weldon Railroad last Friday noon to
larry dinner to one ot the workmen.
While passing along through toe shop
her shawl caught in the machinery,
which caused her to throw her hand
out in such a manner that it was
caught in the gearing and the fingers
were crushed so badly that all of them
had to be amputated from her left
hand, leaving only the thumb.
From frelaud.
Mr James Corbett brought into our
office to-day a bunch ot shamrock
which he had just received from its
native soil in Lisniore, Waterford coun
ty, Jreland. It was rather dry from
its long journey, but he put it in water
soon after its reception so that it may
be fresh and bright for use in the pro
cession of the Hibernian Society to
morrow. We expect to see many mem
bers of the society in the procession
adorned with a sprig of shamrock, as
it is a plant dear to every true hearted
Irishman whose breast throbs with love
for his na'ive land.

Daily Review.
WILMINGTON. N. CL MONDAY, MARCH 16,
What's in a Name?
Some of the colored people have quite
high sounding titular names. Among
the colored hands employed on one of
the construction trains en the Wilming
ton & Wei don Railroad there are Gen
eral Pittman, General Williams, Major
Perry. Doctor Stan field and George
Washington. We are not prepared to
say how large a number of titled color
ed men are borne upon the payrolls ot
tbe company, but when we find all of
the foregoing upon one train it is sale
to presume that it is large.
Fire in the Woods.
Some boys went just outside of the
city limits last Saturday afternoon and
set fire to the wood?, probably in sport
It soon spread, however, to such an
extent that a force of 15 men were
busily employed all the remainder of
the afternoon in extinguishing tbe
flames. It is easy enough to start a
fire, but It is otten hard and dangerous
work to stop a conflagration. There
was a fire also in the same vicinity
nearly all ol yesterday. People cannot
be too careful how they handle fire,
either at home or in the woods.
The Silver King.
The above named melo drama wa8
presented at the Opera House for the
second time on Saturday night to a
rather small audience, but which was
about as large as could well be expect
ed in this city on the last night in the
week. The play is one of the very best
in point of plot, and teaches a grand
moral. Mr. F. Bangs, in the title role,
had a most laborious, exhaustive and
exacting part to perform, and his acting
was simply superb. Miss Charlotte
Behrens, as Nellie Denver, had also a
very difficult and exacting role, and she
was excellent in her impersonation of
the part The play is one of thrilling
interest, and appeals strongly to all the
better and nobler sentiments of human
ity. There were occasions in the play
when there were but few eyes among
the audience which were not suffused
with tears. There was a realism in
the acting which took all hearts. The
agony, horror and contrition of Wilfred
Denver, the Silver King, at his sup
posed terrible crime, the wifely devo
tion and heroism ot Nellie Denver, his
wife, the untiring and unceasing fidel.ty
of Jaikins. the valet, and the cold
blooded nonchalance ot the burglar and
murderer, the Spider, were portrayed
with a vivid earnestness which appear
ed more like reality than it did like
mimic life.
Solar Eclipse.
The annual eclipse of the sun, par
tiaily visible, which took place to day
about noon, is the only eclipse of tbe
sun which will be visible in this country
during 1685. It began at six minutes
and nineteen seconds after 12 o'clock
and ended at thirty-eight minutes and
fifty-five seconds after 2 o'clock, stand
anl time.
Toe eciipse was viewed with comfort
by looking through a piece ot smoked
glass. The moon cut off about one
half of the upper portion of the sun's
dise at the time ot greatest obscura
tion. Partial eclipses are generally
thought of no importance because they
do not show any of the wonderful phe
nomena which are seen at total eclipses.
An eclipse like the one which took place
to-day is chiefly important as a means
of proving up tbe absolute place of the
moon, the moon being the hardest of
the heavenly bodies to get to absolute
perfection of prediction ot place, and of
great use in cccultation ot stars the
world over for.mariners' use. It is,
therefore, very important that the
moon's predicted place tor three years
to coma ahonld be absolutely known.
Any little abberrations of the moon's
place may be definitely ascertained by
failure ot the oontaot to take place ex
actly at the predicted time. The time
and duration of the eclipse to-day was
figured up and published in the Nautical
Almanac fully three years ;go. These
calculations are made so long in ad
vance in order that mariners may take
them as part of their outfit when start
: ing on a long voyage over the world.

Saturday Nf&rlit'g Fire.
About half past 8 o'clock last Satur
day night fire was discovered upon the
first floor of the job printing establish
men t of Messrs. DeRosset & Means,
in Custom House Alley. The alarm
was promp'ly given and the firemen
were quickly present and working with
a hearty good will to extinguish the
flames This they succeeded in doing
after a hard struggle, but not until a
good deal of dmage had boon done by
the fire and wnter. The fire seems to
have originated ner the stairway on
the South side of the room, but horn
what cause is unknown. The
first floor contained tbe presses
and much of tho machinory ot
the firm besides a considerable amount
of paper stock. These were ail more
or less injnred either by heat or water,
tbe paper stock being nearly ruined.
The presses, which are nearly new. it
is hoped, were not subjected to such
heat as to materially injure them, al
though considerable work will ba nec
essary to clean them and make them
again fit for use. The type and mate
rial upon the second floor were entirely
rained and will be a total loss. The
bindery, on the third floor, was badly
injured by water and somewhat scorch
ed by tbe fire.
The building was in control of Dr. A.
J. DeRosset, as trustee, and was insur
ed to the amount of $1,000 in the In
surance Company of North America,
represented in this city by Messrs De
Rosset & Northrop. There was insur
ance on the type, presses, stock and
fixtures of Messrs DsRossett & Meares
to tbe amount ot $2,500 in the Under
writers Insurance Company of New
York, represented in this city by Messrs
DeRosset & Northrop, which will prob
ably cover the loss.
A Pew Reflections. v
The fire which occurred on Saturday
night in Messrs DeRosset & Meares'
printing establishment is the first,
within our recollection, that has ever
originated in a printing house in Wil
mington. In view of this fact, and of
the generally non-combustible nature
of a large part of the contents ot an es
tablishment of this kind, it does seem
strange that the insurance rates are so
much higher here On printing material
than on almost any other species of
merchandise. It is true that type are
easily destroyed, a slight heat being
sufficient to ruin it, but then the type
does not burn and therefore serves
rather to cheok the progress ot
the flames than to extend it. It' is also
true that paper is a very com bus
tibie material but it must be remem
be red that paper in bundles is packed
very compactly and burns slow. It re
quires a strong heat and a steady heat
to consume paper packed in bundles as
it oomes lrom tbe mills. Had the
building occupied by Messrs. DeRosset
& Meares been filled with groceries or
dry goods it is almost certain that not
only the stock would have been de
stroyed but that tbe building would
been gone also, carrying with it, possi
bly, other stocks and other buildings
as well.
