A baby show of unique character was given last week by a number ot young ladies in New York for a charitable purpose. The entertainment consisted of the singing of the cradle songs, car ols and lullabies of all nations. Each piece was accompanied by a scene that depicted, as nearly as possible, th cos. tames and customs of the nation of which the mu'sic was typical. There was a supply of live and docile babies, who were dressed in the manner of the countries represented. There were Grecian. Chinese, Egyptian, Russian, German, Irish and Indian scenes among others. The Daily Review. VOL. IX. W LMINGTON, N. C.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1885. NO. 110 LOCAL NEWS. INDEX TO HEW AOVEiriSEfMtRTt.

The .only news we can gather irom our friends in the country is that the farmers are as busy as they can be with their crops, and there is a desperate struggle between the latter and the grass for mastery, which makes a much harder task for the workers who as a matter ot course are bound to help the corn, cotton, 'taters and "sich."

The way to stir things up is to give the peoplo 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 which our house is noted far and wide. We 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 be exchanged, or we will pronof i ly refund in cash the price paid for it. Examine our goods at your homes, compare them, their quality ana 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 onr prices and post yourself before you buy and you will surely save from 15 to 25 per cent, on every dollar.

The hook and ladder truck, which has done such faithful service in the years that have passed, will be sent to-day to Marion, S. C, where it will proba bly be used in the future. The outfit complete will be shipped so that it will be ready for use as soon as received, without any delay or expense incident to obtaining new ladders. The truck and ladders are in excellent condition and are good for many years of useful and efficient service. The bargain for their purchase has not yet been con summated, but in all probability it will be as soon as they are received at Marion. Mr. Will West presents a biil ot fare fthat is enough to make one's mouth water. He has not only some very fine beef but a lot of Western mutton that is equal to the best, with such del icacies as soft crabs, deviled crabs and rice birds to garnish the whole. We have a piece o white granite which came from Mt. Holly, in Gaston county, that contains traces ot gold. The ruck is as whiie as the whitest marble and in the seams may be seen infinitesimal particles of tho precious metal, but not in quantities sufficient to make it of any appreciable value. Real Estate. Mr. A. David has bought the proper ty on the Northwest corner of Market and Seventh streets, recently owned by the late Judge R. S. French. He na3 also become owner of the adjacent lot, recently occupied by Mr. W. L. Mead ows, and we learn that he contemplates having the buildings on both lots re moved in order to make room for the erection of a residence for his own use Military Festival. As will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, there will be a grand festival for the benefit ot the Wil miugton Lieht Infantry at the- City Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday nights next. The arrangements haye been placed in the hands of a committee of ladies whose names are a guarantee of success. It is highly desirable that other ladies, who would like to co-operate with the committee, should report to some of its members at once, so that alii the details may be arranged and completed in due season. There is no time to spare. The festival will be gotten up in a style of unusual elegance and nothing will be left undone to make the occasion delightful. There will be a variety and abundance of edibles of the most tempting kinds, a competitive drill by members of the company and a contest between the two best drilled four3. The members of the company have chartered the Passport for a moolight excursion down the river complimenta ry to the ladies who take part in the festival. The company is already one of the very best drilled in the State, and it is the ambition of its members that it shall reach a still higher plane of excel lence and that its numbers shall be in creased until it shall not only be the largest, but shall be the best in drill and discipline of any in North Carolina A Beautiful Experiment. Do you want to grow salt, and at the same time have an interesting, hand some ornament? The proceeding is a novel chemical experiment that may be tried by any one. Put ia a goblet one taoiespooniui oi salt ana one spoonful of blueing. Fill the goblet two-thirds full of water, and set in a position where it wili have plenty of warmth and sunlight. In a little while sparkling crystals wil commence forming ou the outside of the glass, and it is both a novel and in- terteresting sight to watch it gradually growing, day by day, until the outside of the goblet is entirely covered with beautiful white crystals. Another variation of this beautiful experiment would ba to take a goblet with the base broken off. and fasten it in tho centre of a thin piece of board. which may be round, square or oblong After the crysta s have termed on the i i . .: li i i - .1 I place a bright holiday or birthday card in front of it; this will hide the base. on which no crystals will form. After this is done fill the goblet with flowers, or dried grasses, and you will have a vase which will cost comparatively little. Collesriate. The commencement exerc ses j( the University of North Carolina will be held at Chapel Hill on the 3rd and 4th days of June next. The address before the literary societies will be delivered by Hon. J. W Reid. of N- C, and the baccalaureate sermon will-be preached by Bishop A. W. Wilson, D. D. of Baltimore, Md. Our thanks, are due the marshals for au invitation to be present on the occasion. Death of an Old Colored Man. Harry Hall, a well known old colored man, died last night. We do Dot know his age, but he was one of fhe oldest colored men in the city. He was for many years in the employ of the city government, but for quite a number of years, owing to his great age and the many infirmities incident thereto, has been unable to do any manual labor. For the last 4 or 5 years his afflictions have been such that he has been com pelled to use two canes to assist him in walking. Personal Hon. Wharton J. Green left here this morning on the steamer John Daw. son for Black River. He will return to the city in a few days. Mr. James McClammy. who ba.3 been o very sick for a month past has we are pleased to notice, so far recover ed as to be at his post again. We are glad to learn that there has been a decided improvement in the condition of Capt. Wru. M. Parker, and that he is now in a tair way of a com plete recovery from the sickness with which he has for so many weeks been afflicted . Mr. Charles Pridgen, who has been Buffering from paralysis tor several months, is, we regret to learn, very low indeed, and there are but small hopes of bi3 ever being any better. Yesterday it was thought that ha was dying, but he recovered somewhat and is more comfortable to-day. His rela tives in Pender county ave been noti fied of his critical condition. Mt. Holly.
