It is a clear and comprehensive statement of the management of that institution, and shows, much to the credit of Dr.Grissom, what is being accomplished with the resources at bis command. Iu 1SC6 the amount expen ded per capita for the support of th asylum was $233.60; in 1868 it was $271.70 per capita; in 1S69. for fifteen months, (the fiscal year being extend ed), 3 12.50; 1870. $300; in 1872 1257.51; in 1874, 289.25; in 1875, $281.12; in 1876. $255.15; iu 1877. $232.57; in 1878, $228 55.

They have had their white dresses ready for weeks and they are afraid they can't wear them this Summer because they fear we will have no Summer this year. Too bad! The porpoise is now a commercial fish and it is said worth' $15 to $20 each, iu the Philadelphia market, the value being in his skin, oil and meat, which is represented as very palatable.

Sbrier Making Tilings Hum. Business is easy to do if you do it right. The way to stir things up is to give the people bargains,. and through this we have built up a big business and we propose to hold it by continu ing the fair and square dealing for whfch our house is noted far and wide. WV'do and can afford to sell goods cheaper than any other clothing house in this city, and we make the same lib eral offer to everybody. If any article bought of us is not exactly as repre sented or is in any respect unsatisfac tory, it may bo exchanged, or we will promi-tly refund in cash the price paid for it. Examine oar goods at your homes.3 compare them, their quality and price, with goods from, other stores and you will see why our trade contin ues to grow and prosper. We are now showing great bargains in men's, boy's and children's clothing. See our prices and post yourself before you buy and you will surely save from 15 to 25 per cent, oa every dollar.

It is to be raffled. The Cool Snap. From Dr. W. T. Ennett, of Burgaw, who is in the city for attendance on the Memorial Exercises here, we learn that the crop prospects in his section have been very fioe.every thing growing beautifully. He fears, however, that it was cool enough this morning to hurt some of the young plants although he did not have time to make an examina tion sufficient to jastifiy his fears. Baptism. The ordinance of baptism was ad ministered to sixteen persons at Mason boro Sound yesterday, ten of whom were males and six females. The ser vices began at half-past 9 o'clock yes terday morniug and were conducted by Rev. George S. Best, the pastor ot the Church at Masonboro. The ceremo nies were the occasion of one of the largest gatherings ever assembled at that Sound. An Eloquent Sermon. Rev, J. L. M. Curry, D. D., of Vir ginia, preached yesterday forenoon at the First Baptist Church in accordance with previous announcement. There Was a large congregation in attendance and his sermon was listened to with profound attention and interest. It was an effort of great po-er and was highly appreciated. Dr. Curry is one of the most gifted and eloquent pulpit orators of the South, and his discourse yesterday made an impression upon his hearers which will not soon bo cradi cated. The Skies In May. Venus has not yet recovered from her bashful fit of last month, and will remain hidden in the sun's rays during tbe greater part of May, -rising and going to bed very early, and" otherwise deporting herself in a circumspect man ner unusual with thi? wayward and brilliant planet. Her retirement leaves Jupiter without a rival. He is now near quadrature, and will pass that stage on the 17th. That is Jto say, he is ninety degrees west of the sun, and is almost directly oyerhead when the sun sets. His apparantly smaller com panion, Regulus, will be his constant attendant during the month, and will afford an excellent gauge of the forward and backward motion of the planet. On the 7th of October last they were iu conjunction, and afterward the planet appeared East of the star. In Decern ber the planet apparently turned and went backward, till he passed tho star again on the 14th of March, appearing since then on Regulus' western side. On the 30tb of this month he will pass agaiarto tho eastward, at only lorty-one minutes' interval from Regulus, and therealter they will grow further and further apart all the year. Saturn is still a conspicuous object in the Western sky, but is getting nearer the sun all the time. He sets now about 10 o'clock, and retires about three minutes earlier every successive evening during tho month. Mars is coming out from his retire ment behind the sun, and apearson the Eastern side of that orb for a short time before sunrise. He rose this morning soon after 4 o'clock, and will grow earlier in his habits by about two minutes every day. Mercury, Uranus and Neptune are invisible without a glass, and even with one Mercury is to "be caught only oo the 25tb, iust before sunrise. . The moon which now fills the mid night sky with slowly waning brilliancy s properly the April moon. May's moon will be full on the 28th. During the month she occults Mercury and Uranus, -but only observers in the South seas will be favored with the sight. The constellations are fast rolling Westward. Orion is visible for a little while after sunset, and the great Sinus outshines Saturn in the evening sky. while his forerunner, - Procyon, is al most of siht. Arcturus is nearly overheard. Capella and Vega are re spectively East and West ot the North star, at about the same distance and nearly in line. Scon the Crab will have crawled into bis summer place of chief constellation, and his red . eye. Antares, will glow unrivalled in the Southern sky. ' .

Annual Memorial Services at Oakdale Business Suspend ed Laud Crowds at the Ceme tery Mr. Long's Beautilul Addess. The annual tribute of the survivors of the still dear and Xhe ever dear, though Los'.Caue, upon which the sun set :so disastrously at "Appomattox twenty years ago yesterday, was paid, with all due honors, at Oakdale Cemc ter this afternoon." 'Once a year the remembrances which cannot die and whfch will never fade band themselves together and considerate by prajer and hallow with loving hands the graves of those who lived not long enough to see the b:acknes3 and dark ness of defeat rest upon the cause for which they so freely gave their precious lives. " Ah! how the years Hew backward as we stood to-day within the shadow of that bronze sentinel which keeps watch and ward over the gallant dead at Oak dale and which is but an inanimate rep resentation ol that whieh was a sterm reality a'l over our dear Southland twenty years ago! How the grave gave up its dead and many a gallant heart beat proudly a?, amid the cheers of friends, the smiles ot baautitul women and the quivering, tearful God-speed of mother nnd wife and 9istcr and sweetheart they resoluttlyj turned their faces to the graves that awaited them in the green valleys ot Virginia! How the counting-house and the workshop and tho plow, and even the school houses were deserted and men .with gray hair and boys with beardless faces . stood shoulder to shoulder in the ranks that were to prove as a wall of adamant between the invaders and the loved one3 they had left behind them. How those who had bren born in affluence and ease and nutured with every care that wealth could give marched side by side with those of humble origin, all brothers and cumradP3 in one grand cause, all animated by one common interest and all glorified in life, as they are hallowed in death, by that love of country which they were afterwards to seal with their hearts' best blood! How they fought and bled and suffered all and endured all for the sake of the cause to which they had given their all of manhood, their all of life! How they followed their gallant leaders there through years of tribulation and trial, sometimes in rags, often with bare feet that left a track of blood on the rocks and snows behind them, scantily cloth ed and still more scantily fed, yet never wavering in their devtion to a noble cause! Ah! many a Rachel and many a Coraelia who shared such thoughts as these looked on to-day in that Confed erate enclosure with terir-marked eyes ; and many a loved one, standing through life in the shadow of the Lost Cause looked with eyes of faith to where the loved ones rest, glorified through faith and sanctified in death! The procession wa3 formed promptly and moved at 4 o'clock, under the man agements Capt. James I Metis and his aids, the Cornet Concert Club, with the WilraingtonLight Infantry, in ad vance. Our paper goe3 to press too sooa to give a full account of the line ol march and the display which was made. The Cemetery was reached in due course and the usual observances were proceeded with. A very feeling and a very beautiful prayer was delivered by Rev.' J. W. Primrose, and the oration which was delivered by Mr. John S. Long was chaste, beautiful and elo quent in tbe extreme. The music ren dered was superb, as it always is on Memorial Day, when some ot the best talent of the city is enlisted. Interesting to Land Owners. Land owners desirous of renting their lands on shares, furnishing the stock and tools, or for , a money rent, the renter famishing everything., can be placed in communication with desirable tenant farmers who have some means and a thorough knowledge of the use ol improved agricultural inipleocents, by addressing Jno. T. Patrick, Commis sionerof Immigration, Raleigh, N. C. The farmers are not idle, thriftless per sons ont of woik hud homes.'- Tho reaon they deare to make a change is. at their present places they have to pay very high rents, , furnish 'everything, pay taxes on the kind. and only get one half of the crops. They are intelligent, working farmers and are slow to leave homes in Maryland. Pennsylvania. New York and other Northern States, but they have np hopes there of ever owning farms, for land is very high. ranging in price from $75 to $300 per acre. Mr. Patrick has frequent inquiries from person North dosiring to learn. of sruall farms ot from 20 to 100 acres for sale. Now is the season lor painting your houses.
