The Medical Times thinks there is something anomalous in in arge which is at one time charged With cultivating muscle at the expense of mind, and ai another with forcing the brains and neijlectiii the bodies of the rising generation.' A judicious care of both brain and muscle would be a common secse sulutiou of the difficulty. Gen. Grant's family is well provided for. The fund of $250,000 which was raised a few years ago for his benefit was settled -pon him not only for lifet but he was allowed to dispose of it by will. This he has doubtless done, and bequeathed it to the companion who has shown herself worthy to share not only his early struggles', but his later honors as well. The Medicinische Wochetischrifi makes the Gold statement that English scientists are so far behind those of other nations in their study of the causes of infectious diseases that' they are no longer in a position to make anything like a pertinent criticism up on such researches. The cause is at. tributed to the English laws practically prohibiting experiments on animals. There is apparently some little vi tality left th the Democratic party, notwithstanding the gloomy prophecies which have been made since the ap pointment of Pearson as postmaster at New York. An instance of this lact is found out West in Wisconsin, in which State, which has been solidly Republican for the past quarter of a century, the Democrats .have just suc ceeded in carrying an election by 30, 000 majority.

Special Tax in Pender Following is the text of an act passed by the Legislature at its recent session providing for the levy of a special tax for the purpose of erecting necessary county buildings in Pender county, and for paying off the indebtedness of the county : An Act to Levy a Special Tax i Section 1. That for the purpose of building a county jail and buying a site and erecting the necessary buddings for a county poor house in the county of Pender, and to provide for paying the indebtedness of said county, the Commissioners of the county are here by authorized to levy annually tor a term not exceeding four years, a spe cial tax on the property and the polls of said county of sixteen and two-thirds cents on the one hundred dollars' worth of property, and fifty cents on the polls, at the same time and in the same man ner that other county taxes are levied. Provided, that the commis;ioner may apply the taxes collected nnder this act for the first two years to the erection of the buildings above mentioned. Sec 2. That the taxes herein provid ed for shall be collected and accounted for by the sheriff, at the same time and under the same penalties and lorfeit ures as other county taxes. Sec. 3. That in order to ascertain the just debt of said coun'y outstanding and du"3 prior to the first day of Janua ry, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and incurred for the neces sary expenses of the county, E. A. Hawes. W. H. French. Edwin Fennell, Daniel Shaw and C. D. Sikes, be and they are hereby appointed a special board of audit on behalf of the taxpay ers of said county, to audit, scrutinize and examine into all claims contracted before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, for the necessary expenses of the coun ty. They shall elect one ot their num ber chairman, and any vacancy occur ring shall be filled be the remaining members. Said special board shall meet and organiza within thirty days after the passage of this act. and shall post notice at two public places in each township, and at the court house door in said county, and if they deem neces sary, advertise in some newspaper pub lished in the city of Wilmington, noti fying all persons holding claims against said county to present them before the said board of audit. Said board shall meet monthly on the first Monday of each month, and shall continue in ex istence until the first Monday ci July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty live, and shall be allowed as compensa tion not exceeding two dollars per day and mileage. It will be their duty to compromise and settle, on such terms as they may think equitable and just, the claims aforesaid, by recommending the amount which should be allowed on eachclaim ; and if the board of com missioners shall concur, they shall is sue a warrant on the treasurer accord ing to the provisions of this act. No warrant shall be issued without the concurrence of the spec'al board of audit. Whenever a claim is presented to the board of audit, it shall be their duty to make inquiry concerning its origin and its consideration, and if in their judgment it ought not to be paid, they shall reject it. or they may recom mend the payment of such pan as they may think equitable and just ; and if the creditor consents to receive a war rant for such claim, he shall surrender his claim in full, and the evidence of it whether in judgment, county warrant or otherwise, shall be cancelled or marked satisfied. No claim shall be allowed for more than its par value: and no interest shal be allowed on any claim. No creditor who shall refuse to receive warrants on the terms recom mended by the special board ot audit in liquidation of his claims shall be enti tled to any part of any fund that may be raised by the special taxes provided for in th s act. Sec 4. The board of Commissioners shall have prepared a book of warranto on the treasurer of the county, with stub attached to each warrant, and shall cause to be written or printed in letters on each warrant and each stub the words "old debt"- No warrant shall be issued for the said indebtedness exc pt from the book specially prepar ed for this purpose; and the commis sioners shall require their clerk to keep a correct record of every claim allow ed and every claim rejected by the board, together with the amount of each claim so allowed or rejected. The record of such claims shall be kept in the office of the register of deeds, and shall be open o the inspection of any citizen as other public records of the county ; and for this service the register shall receive such compensation as the board of commissioners shall deem equitable and just. Sec. 5. That it a majority ot commis sioners und magistrates of said county think it unnecessary, or for good cause, inexpedient, to levy the special tax pro vided lor in this act, they may decline to make the levy lor any one year. Sec. 6. That this act shall be in force from and after its ratification. In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 21st day of February, A. D. 18R5. Citv Court.

Metts has been in vited by the Ladies1 Memorial Associa tion to act as Chief Marshal on Me morial Day, and we are pleased to learn that be has signified his accept ance ot the honor and duties. A list of his aids, will be announced in a few days, after a conference with the ladies. Religious items. Tiiere was a large congregation at the First Baptist Church last night and a good deal of fervor was manifested Rev. H. W. Battle, of Wadesboro, pt "ached an eloquent sermon, and the services throughout were of unusual interest. At the conclusion oftheser mon about a dozen of the congregation desired prayers in their behalf. The meetings will be continued during the week and will be held at 1 o'clock each afternoon and at 8 o'clock each night. Roller Skating. As will be seen by advertisement elsewhere in this issue the prices ot ad mission to the Opera House skating rink have been reduced to 15 cents for a single ticket, and 25 cents for a ticket admitting a lady and gentleman. Cheap enough! Mr. Willson, the manager, has been at considerable expense in making preparations for this kind ot jport for our young people and we hope that he will have a patronage sufficient to renumerate him tor the outlay. Not Pleasant. We suppose there are men who can maintain their equanimity ot temper under any and all circumstances, but when we see a man's hat blow off and travel off on its brim, effectua'ly evading the attempts of the owner to capture it, until he becomes tired, dis gusted and gives up the chase, we cannot help thinking that he is angry. He may not indulge in broken and for bidden remarks, but he does not feel kindly and when the grinning small boy returns it to him he is hardly in a frame of mind to appear extremely thankful for the tavor. Personal. Maj. C. M. McClammy was in the city to day. Lt. Gov, Stedman has returned to the city from a flying business trip to some of the Northern cities. Maj. O. W. Sadler, Superintendent of Division of the Southern Express Company, was in the city yesterday. Mr. D. A. Culbretb, one of the pro prietors of the Clinton Caucasian, was in the city to-day and gave us the pleas ure of a visit this afternoon. Mr. J. R. Williams, of Raleigh, for some years past Cashier in the South ern Express Office in that city, has ar rived here and taken charge of the of fise t this place, vice Mr. E.A. Brown promoted. Mr. Williams comes to us with excellent endorsements and we welcome him to Wilmington. Some Express Changes. Some changes in the Southern Ex press business at this place have been inaugurated in the past few days. Mr. J. R. Williams, of Raleigh, has been appointed Agent at this place, vice Mr. E. A. Brown, who has been appointed to a higher position, that ot Route Su perintendent on the Atlantic Coast Line. This is the lino recently held by that clever gentleman, Mr. Robert Mayo, who has been transferred to the same position on the Seaboard system, which embraces all ot the Robinson roads, including the Carolioa Central. Mr. Mayo's headquarters will be in Raleigh. Mr. Brown enters at once upon the discharge of the duties of hia new po sition and we are glad to know that bis headquarters have been established in this city. Accident to Mrs. Kennedy. We regret to learn of a severe acci dent which betel that venerable and beloved lady. Mrs. C. G. Kennedy, at her residence in this city last evening. She was descending the staircase and had reached the bottom, with but one step more to pass, when thinking that there were no more to be passed the stepped forward, as though on the floor, ami fell in a heap at the foot of the stairs. She was quickly raised when she said that her right shoulder blade was broken, as she plainly heard the bone snap. On investigation this was found to be the case. We are pleased to learn that Mrs. Kennedy's condition is now comfort able, so much so, indeed, that she came down as usual this morning and joined the family at breakfast. Her injuries are, however, very serious tor one ot ber advanced axe (she is over 80) but the physicians think that with perfect eare and quiet the bone may heal. NO SO Fire at the Sound. About half-past 3 o'clock this morn ing Mr. H. M. Bowden's boat house, at Wrightsville Sonnd, was discovered to be on fire, and before assistance could be obtained it was consumed, together with two boats, one of which belonged to Mr. Bowden and the other to Mr. Owen Fennell. Itisnotknown how the fire originated, but it is pre sumed to have caught through the care lessness of some oystermen who had fires on the beach, the eparks from which were carried by the wind to the building. i Death of a Venerable Lady. Mrs. Mary Houston, widow of the late Mr. George Houston and mother of Mr. Robert M. Houston and Mrs. Sam uel Northrop, of this city, died last nigh1 at the residence ot her son , on the corner of Third and Ann streets, in the seventy first year of her age. The deceased had been sick about ten days. She has led a good, pure and christian life and although she had lived out the years allotted for mortals, he- death will caure a deep void in the hearts of many who knew and loved her. Her obse quies were held at 3 o'clock this after noon at St. James' Church ; thence her remains were taken to Oakdaie Ceme tery for interment. A Pleasant Surprise. There was quite a gathering last night at the residence of Mr. Charles II. RobinsoD, on the corner of Front and Nun streets, which had assembled to manifest their appreciation for, and take their leave of. Rev. Joseph R. Wil son, D. D., previous to hi departure for his new sphere ol usefulness. The meeting was entirely informal, but there was a pleasant episode on the oc casion which took Dr. Wilson entirely by surprise and one which will un doubtedly make a lasting and tender impression upon iiis memory. This episode was the presentation to Dr. Wilson of a beautiful gold-headed cane by the ruling elders of the church over which he has for so many years been the beloved pastor. On one side of the head of the cane was inscribed, Rey. J R. Wilson, D. D., and on theother was inscribed "From the Ruling Eld ers of the First Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, N. C." and on the end was the date "April, 1885." The pre sentation speech was made by Mr. George Chadbourn and was most hap pily and felicitously conceived. Dr. Wilson responded inappropriate terms in which he manilcstcd much tender feeling at the agreeable and entirely uolooked for surprise which had been prepared tor him. The Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina: "Sir, the best remedy in the world is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup" and the latter seconded the assertion. All in need ot , a Canary or Mocking Bird Cage, will do wo'l to call at Ja. coin's Hard ware Depot, and examine his largo and fine stock. f NEW ADVERT ISEMifiSTS; OPERA HOUSE. . , ROLLER SKATING.
