IX. I WILMINGTON. N. C WiDNES DAY, APRIL 1. Gen. Grant's condition seems to have improved somewhat during the past! twenty-lour hours. Navigation is free now on the Hud son as far as New Hamburg, but there is ice above that point. Almost simultaneously with the news of the extreme illnes of Gen. Grant comes the sad information that that grand old man, Jefferson Davis, the soldier and statesman, is sick almost unto death at his quiet home inthe far South. God grant that his days may yet be a little longer in the land of the living and the leal but if his end is really -at hand we know that it will be a peace ful departure as he ha3 laid up for him self a sure hope beyond the rave. That Mr. Barrios, in Central Amer ica, evidently wants to get his name in the papers. He has fired on the British liou and plucked a feather from the Ameri can eagle's tail.

This he had a right to do, of course, and President Cleveland bad equally the right to remove Mr. Pei son or to retain him . He has done the latter and so far from haying any crif. ie.sm to make we are satisfied that in this, as in all else, he has been actuated by none but the purest, highest and most patriotic motive.5?. It is not necessary for us to know Jthe based his action in this particular. It is sufficient for us to know that he has deemed it right and wise and proper to make the appointment. We submit to bis judgment, calmly, quietly and with out questioning. We trust him to do as it may seem best for him to do, sat isfied that the means will justify the end as well as that the erid will justify the means. We say ail this, too. in the face of the fact that we did Hot look for or expect Mr. Pearson's appointment.

Supreme Court Decisioue. The following are among the decis ions rendered in the Supreme Court on Monday, as we find them io the News and Observer . r r Wriahtvs Citv of Wilmington from New Hanover; error; venire de Tneker Home, trom Rich mood ; no error ; farther proceedings ac cording to law Good materials properly proportioned which are the essential requisites in Ready mixed Paints can be beet attain ed by using the N. Y. Enamel Paint sold at J Acor.i's Depot t Our Plan. There is not a question about the ne- j cessity of taking prompt, decided and effective steps towards arr sting the increase of the grave class of crimes, such as burglary and arson, and others of a kindred character in our city. What those steps shall be in order to render the most effective service is a question of great importance and re quires careful and thoughtrul considera tion. To effect the most good at the Jeast expense is the object which ought to beattained, and to solve this prob lem satisfactorily should engage the attention of those who have the safety, peace and protection of property in charge. Some suggest a large increase is our police force, and it is a fact that tfce present force is small for the terri tory oyer which they are presumed to exercise watchfulness. But a perma ncnt increase of the police force would incur a large expense, which would be a continual drain upon the city treas ury, and make the burden upon the taxpayers much larger than it is now. We think that a good plan would be for the Board of County Commissioners to appropriate a sum of money to be used as occasion may demand (or detective purposes. The sum need not be large to be effective. The amount should be placed in the hand ot some county oftMai the Solicitor of the Criminal Court for instance and when one of these crimes has been committ ed, the money could be used in an effort to find out who was the criminal. A regularly paid detective force is not needed, but when occasion demands some good man might be specially designated to work up the case and if possible ascertain who committed the crime and bring him to justice. The detective, while working on the case, should be paid a reasonable sum for his services and in case he should succeed in securing evidence sufficient to con vict the criminal he shoulJ be liberally uiu work .siou and conviction'1 m also in the suppression ot crime. Holy Week. The observance of holy week, com memorating the passion of our Lord, commenced Sunday with the special services for Palm Sunday, duly cele brated in the Catholic and Episcopal chnrches. In the Catholic churches palm was distributed among the con gregations, as also among a number of the Episcopal churches. The occasion symbolized Christ's entry into Jeru salem, when the people strewed palm branches alonsr the road as he journey ed. Daily services are held in the Catholic and Episcopal churches this week, with more or less impressive ceremonials. The Catholic church has more elaborate liturgical service, and each day ot the week will be a com memorative one of Christ's life and sufferings. The more solemn cere moniee of the week began in tho Catholic church to-day with the "office of the enebne." a beautiful aud impresive . . i service of song This service in ine oiu Catholic countries is sung by the clergy. but in this country the aid of trained male choristers is required on account - m . f 1 l of the small nuraoers oi ino c.eisy This service will be sung also to-mor. row and Friday.

On Holy Saturday the blessings ot the "new fire" takes place as also the 'paschal candle." which will be allow ed to remain on the altar for forty days. The twelve prophecies will be read, the baptismal font will be blessed , litanies chanted, and lastly the mass or the re sorrection. At the "Gloria in Excel Bis" the bells are rang, which have been silent since Holy Thursday. In the Episcopal churches the serv ices are veiy solemn during the last four days of the week.
