They say that ''in his case not even a pardon from Andrew Johnson can be prodaced to furnish the basis for an opinion from the Attorney General in favor of Mr. Jackson's eligibility."' Bat the General does not "scare worth a cent." It is stated that Egypt now offers to compromise the dispute with France concerning tbe seizure and suppression ot the BospJiore Egyplien by making an apology and by admitting that her officials violated the rights of domicile of the publishers, the apology, how ever, to contain 'no allusion to the seizure of tbe BosohoreEgvptien."

Corporation Counsel Taylor says "that no great hardship can arise from placing on the salary list a tew of tbe class of rem ales from whose money, collected through the taxoffice. we are constantly paying the salaries of males." The Rich mood detective who is working up tbe case aeainst Cluvorius. charged with the murder of Miss Madi son, is confident that he has secured a chain of circumstantial evidence strong enough to secure the conviction of the prisoner. He says that tbe evidence will show that if Miss Madison had lived Cluverius'. moral character would lave been ruined, his standing in the commanity destroyed and his death would have followed. Under the cir cu instances there were strong induce ments to put Miss Madison out of the way. Mr. Vilas is 3,500 vacancies behind hand in filling the small postoffices and needs the aid of a first' assistant who is able to work. Mr. Hay ought to resign for the present, as there is little prospect oi his immediate recov ery. At the beginning of the quarter, the bare work of signing 1,500 warrants by the Postmaster General or one of his three assistants is no small chore. Mr. ilas is requiring the male clerks to work three hours extra at present, making ten hours a day. A New York correspondent says: 'The number of society people going to Europe this year willbeuoprecedented ly large. Inasmuch as the cholera is ex pected here as well as on the other aide, there are no fears of epidemic to keep them at borne, and, under the cir cumstancet, they prefer the excitement of foreign travel as a distraction to the mind. That is the way in which the lasbtonkble doctors put it.

Tbe most curious book in the world is one that is neither written nor print ed. Every letter bt the text is cut into the leaf, and. as the alternate leaves are of blue paper, it is as easily read as tbe best print. The labor required and the patience necessary to cut each letter may be imagined. Trie work is so per fect that it seems as though done by machinery, but every character was made by band. The book is entitled. "The Passion of Christ." It is a very old volume, and was a curiosity as long ago as the year 1640. At this time it belongs to tbe family of tbe Prince de Ligne, and is kept in a museum in France. LOCAL NEWS. fHOEX TO NEW AOYERTISEMEITS.

And there they were, the fish a victim to the snake's voracity and the snake a victim to his own imprudence in trying to swallow a catfish without first picking off the thorns. Daily WILMINGTON. N. C. TUESDAY. APRIL 28. May Day. Wc learn that there will be a May Day partv gotten up lor the pleasure of the children connected with tbe Sunday School of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. It will be held in tbe parsonage yasd, but we have as yet been unable to learn whether it will have any distinctive feature, such as the crowning of a May Queen, or not. It will undoubtedly be a pleasant occasion and one in which the children will take much delight. Cltv Court. . Chauncey M. Best, colored, was brought before the Mayor tbis morn ing, charged with disorderly conduct. The charge was clearly proven aod he was required to pay a fine of $5 or go below for 20 days.

Tbe Fourth Annual Convention, and tbe Second Annual Festival, of the Pe tersburg, Va., Musical Association, will be held in that city on the 27th. 27th and 29th of May next: The music on that occasion will be under the direction of Herr Carl Zerratin, the eminent conductor of the Handel and Haydn Cooioty of Rnshon. Mass. Mrs. E. Aline Osgood, oue of the most noted vocalists of Boston, will appear, and the services of Mmc. Teresa Carreno, the superb pianist, have also been se cured. Mr. E. J. Thorpe, of this city, has received a communication from Mr. H. Noltenius, chairman of the com mittee on music of the Petersburg As sociation, extending a cordial invitation for the musical talent of Wilmington to be represented and announcing the fact that, "by order of the Directors, two complimentary seats, good for the entire festival, have been reset ved lor tbe delegates who will represent the Arion Society ac tbe convention." It is expected that the orchestra will cousist of 30 instrumentalists and that there will be a grand chorus of nearly or quite 250 voices. Last Night's Concert. The Opera House was thronged last night to listen to the vocal and instru mental concert given by the Wizard Oil Company for the benefit of the Wil mington Light Infantry. The instru mental soloists were Mr. Greenewald, on the piano, and Mr. Frank Sanders, on the Xylophone. The former gentle man is a well known artist of this city and bis skill as a thorough, conscien tious and talented pianist has been well established by the musicians of the city. and bis playing last night was equal to any of his previous efforts. Mr. Sand ers did remarkably well and showed himself to be a thorough musician and a master of tbe instrument. The vocal portion cf the pre gram me was render ed in a style which can only be obtain ed through long, patient and careful practice. The voices were well trained and tuned and their efforts received as they merited the hearty approval of the audience, manifested by repeat ed and vociferous bursts of applause. The baritone solos by Dr. Charles Ar mour were particularly well rendered and were deserving of tbe applause which they received. The humorous songs of Messrs. Laurens and Child were laughable in the extreme. The farce entitled Br. Cure-AWs As sistant, was a ludicrous affair which kept the entire audience convulsed with laughter. We are glad to know that the concert was a complete success, financially as wejl as in every other particular. Personal We were pleased to receive a call to day from Mr. Thos. Kinlaw, of Edge wood, Robeson county, who is in the city on business. Good materials properly proportioned .which arc the oonontial requisites in Ready mixed Paints can be beat attain ed by using the N. Y. Enamel -Faint old at Jaoobi's Depot. t The Carolina Yacht Cluh. The regular annual meeting of the Carolina Yacht Club will be held on the 4th day of May next. The officers of tbe club, to serve for the ensuing year, will be elected on that occasion. Aside from the f lection of officers there will be a general outlining of the work of the club for the season. It is an important tact, not generally known, but nevertheless true, that, with the exception of the New York Yacht Club, the Carolina Yacht Club is tfce oldest organization of its kind in the United States, it having been or ganized in 1854, or 31 years ago. It now has a membership of IpO and a fleet of 24 yachts, with 2 others soon to be added. These yachts are from 13. feet in length to 20 feet in length. It is a wise policy of the club that none of the yachts shall exceed 20 feet in length, in order that its members may own and sail their own boats. The two new yachts which will be added to the fleet in May next will be owned by Mr. Pembroke Jones and Mr. John W. Atkinson, Jr. The boat of the former will be 19 feet and 9 inches in length while that of the latter will be 15 leet aud 6 inches in length. Some of the yachts of the fleet have records for speed equal to any boats of their size in the United St-ates, and in fact several of them were constructed by and bought from some of the most noted boat builders of the North. After the election of officers the governing board and the regatta committee will design a programme for tbe season's sport. Un til then nothing definite can be known but enough has been hinted, however to show that the club are determined that its pleasures shall be interesting and exciting. The club house will be put in thorough order and the services of a genteel and courteous janitor will be secured and he will be constantly on duty during the entire .-easou, and all matters re lating to iKc rem ,rf and ol v- - .o of the members and their guests will be carefully attended to. While, of course, no official action has been, or will be, taken until the regular meeting, yet in conversation with some of its prominent members we are assured that the sport of the club for the season will exceed that of any previous year. We are glad to note an earnestness of purpose among the members to make every preparation that shall conduce to the success of the year's sport. Boat sailing is a health ful, exhilerating and invigorating pas time and one which causes the blood to leap joyously through the veins ot the yachtsmen as they bound over the heaving billows. New Horses. Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 have suc ceeded in purchasing a pair of fine and serviceable looking horses tor use in their truck. Negotiations for their purchase have been pending lor several days, but it was not until yesterday that the bargain was consummated. The company will have new drop har ness ready for use in a few days, and will remove tbe old truck from the house and put their new one in use at once. With their new truck ihey will put in use their extension ladder, by which they can reach something more than 00 leet, or about 10 feet higher than the eaves of the City Hall. Changes have recently been made in their truck bouse for the entire convenience of these new and important arrangements, and in a short time everything will be in com plete working order. The First Game. The first game of base ball to be played this season by the base bail as- sociation of North Carolina, will be played at the Athletic grounds in this city on tbe 5th proximo. It has been decided by tbe committee having the matter in charge to make tbe occasion a "Ladies and Children's Day," and all the ladies and young children In the city are cordially invited to be present without any charge for their admission. This offer extends only to the first day and does not extend to male adults nor to boys who are mote tbat 12 years of age. The game will be played by the Raleigh s, of Raleigh, and ibe Seasides, of tbis city, and will be a hotly contested struggle lor the supremacy. We doubt not that tbe cordial invitation to tbe ladies and children wili be gratefully appreciated and tbat a large delegation of this loving and lovable element or our society will be present.
