It is bardiy to be wondered at that

The first place to receive this mark of

At Leicester, in England, ten persons,
the first batch of 5 000 to be prosecuted,
were charged the other day with non
compliance with the Vaccination acts.
The deiondants pleaded guilty, and ex
pressed their willingness to pay any
fine, bat were determined not to have
tbo operation performed, because it
wa9 useless lor protection and very
dangerous. Each parent was ordered
to have the operation performed in a
month. Tnese prosecutions are excit
ing a very bitter feeling.
The Pall Mall Gazelle says; "There is
a great field for the philosophic epicure
in the United States. Boston.beans may
be dismissed at once as delusions, but
soft shell crabs, terrapin, canvas-back
ducks, bluefisb, and the pompano of
New Orleans are wonderful delicacies,
particularly when one gets them at
Delmonico'a. Indeed, the two most
remarkable bits of scenery in the States
are undoubtly Delmonico's and the
Yosemitej Valley, and the former place
has done rtore to promote a good feel
ing between England and America
than anything else has in this century,"
Statistics which have just been pub

who in the course of last year became

less than one and a half per cent, were

Iixie Cook .Book.
Miss Rose Alexander, ol Atlanta, Ga.,
is in the city for the sale of the above
work. No pains or expense seems to
have been spared to make this the most
perfect book ot its class ever published.
So plain and simple are its directions
that even a young girl can beeome a
good cook and j model housekeeper
without any other instruction. There
are many elaborate and fancy dishes
for the epicure, but, id tlhe main, the
recipes are for plaiD every day living.
and are economical, a new fnainrn in m
coos book. The preys ' all over the
country and every tedy who has us6d i
givo it unstinted praise, declaring it to
be the book ot bcoks for ih Southern
matron of to-day. Here is one of the
many testimonials :
"Any housekpeper who will practice
,c? riPs and directions of this reli
j able book will be better fortified to meet
all the demands of a well ordered home
than if the concentrated wisdom ot a
generation of grandmothers, mothers,
and aunts of house keeping celebrity
were at her side to direct her.

Fire in tVnaer County.
We learn of the destruction by fire
on Monday night of the store and
stock of goods of Mr. G. H. Bryant.
at Long Creek, in Pender county. No
! other damage was done, but the larpe
, resiucuue oi mr. uruce w uiiams, omy
a tow feet distant, narrowly escaped,
; The store and goods were fully insured
; yuhe North Carolina Home Insurance
Company, represented in this city, by
Messrs. Atkinson & Manning. The
Origin ot the fire is a mystery.
Poor and Needy.
There are a great number of men out
of employment in the city. Many of
these have families depending upon
i them for support, but as they cn get
nothing to do in the present depressed
condition of nearly all kinds of business
there must necessarily bo a large
f amount ot suffering which calls for the
pity and assistance of our more favored
people. We hope tor a change for the
better in business matters within a
short time, or the suffering will become
very hard to bear.
State Encampment.
The annual eneaupnient of the North
Carolina State Guard will be held this
year at Asheville. It will beheld some
time durins the month of July, and
every company in the State will be or
dered out. It is expected that the en
campmenf will be a grand affair, and
that the different military orani?:a
tions in the State will prepare them
selves for the occasion by faithful drill
and will make every effort to turn cut
with full ranks. We hope that our
Wilmington boys will not be caught
napping and we don't believe that they
will.
Bold Burglary.
Mr. David J. Jenkins, who keeps a
shooting galieiy on Front street, near
the market, closed his place of business
a little before 12 o'clock on Saturday
night and wenf to his home on the
corner of Wooster and Ninth streets.
As ho is kept up by his business until
a late hour on Saturday night, a young
lady goes to his house to keep his wife
company. This young lady, with a
little daughter of Mr. Jenkins, occupied
a room just across the passage from
the room occupied by htm and his
wife. He was arousd af.er having
been asleep awhile by hearing the
young lady in the adjoining room
scream, and at once caught his pistol
and ran to the door, but found it fast
ened upon the inside. He then went
for the key of his own room, and when
he returned the intruder had fled.
An investigation and the statement
of the young lady show that the
burglar effected an entrance through
a rear window, and after taking
a couple of dresses into the
passgae and leaving them there, he re
turned, when the lady awoke and
screamed. The light which had been
left burning in the room, had been ex
tinguished and when she screamed tbe
ruffian seized her with both hands by
the throat and threatened to kill her if
she made any more noise. She caught
his hands and pulled them from her
throat far enough to allow of another
scream when the efforts of Mr. Jenk
ins to enter the room alarmed the bur
glar and he fled. It is not known
whether the villain was a white or col
ored man, but his feet made very large
tracks. He succeeded in takinar noth
ing from the house.
Last night a thief broke into Mr.
Jenkins1 gallery on Front Street and
rummaged the place thoroughly, but
succeeded in getting nothing.
Mrs. Kate C Wines, at 119 North
Second street, has alrcadv received
several shipments of new Spring styles
in millinery, among which will be

Kotyns Fortune.
From the publishers. Messrs. D. Ap
pleton & Co.. we have received,
through Mr. P. Heinsberger, of this
city, who has tho work for sale, a copy
ot "Roslyn's Fortune." a new novel by
the North Carolina authoress whose
nommc deplume is Christian Reid.
We have read all of Miss Fisher's
works but not one with more pleasure
than this. It is not a great work, not
one showing any particular profundity
or research, but it is a light,simple,plcag
ing iovo idyll, ono which was doubtless
intended merely to charm away a few
idlu hours and which has certainly
proved a success in that re
spect. Few readers who take it
up will willingly consent
to lay it aside until the end is reached.
It is a Southern tale. The plot is pleas
ing, the incidents picturesque and
graphically portrayed and the book
throughout is charmingly written, few
novelists in this country having a more
perfect acquaintance with or a more
thorough command of Lhe English lan
guage, in all its purity and beauty, than
has tho author of "Roslyn's Fortune."
Death of a Good Man.
We are pained to announce the death
ot Mr. John D. Carroll, which occur
red at his late residence in Kenansville
township, Duolin county, on tho even
ing of the 93rd inst. Mr. Carroll was
in the 77th year of his age. and bad
been in feeble health for several months
patiently awaiting with Christian resig
nation for the hour when he should be
called. His w ife, with whom he had
lived for more than fifty years, with
five sons and two daughters survive
him. Mr. Carroll had been for more
than halt a century a member of the
Baptist church and his heart, his purse
and the open-handed hospitality of his
house were always promptly and cheer
fully responsive to the calls ot religfous
duties. He will be sadly missed, aot only
by his immediate family, but by a large
circle of people who have been blest
and encouraged by his influence. One
of his sons. Rev. L A.Carroll, is an
eminent minister in the Baptist denom
ination and is now located at Asheville,
in this State.
