Paul de Cassagnac, the French duel-

There is considerable feeling among

A simpering old angel of peace, with
a wreath of paper flowers on his bald
head and a dove and an olive branch in
his hands, in an absurd tableau posture,
with the legend, "Our Protean Pre

getting out of the dilemma in which it

James D. Houston, who has man
aged the Democratic campaigns in
Louisiana and is a follower of the
Eustis-Burke faction, has written a
letter to WashiDgton in which he at
tacks Senator Gibson and Representa

causing a hostile demonstration. He
declares that Senator Gibson "always
fought, even during the war, behind a

The Public Have Confidence
In us. Every day brings fresh proof
to us of the good will of all classes'
Our sales each week foot up far in ex
cess of corresponding week in any pre
vious year. This effect must have its
cause, and that may be found in the
fact that we are giving better value for
all money received than we we.e able
to give -before. Our advantages for
buying arc equal if not superior to those
of any other house in America. When
we desire to buy goods we ask no fa
vors of any manufacturer or wholesale
dealer on earth. We buy closely and
quickly, but qualities must be up to
the mark and prices our owe. As we
buy we sell ; we mark our goods lower
than any other house and can afford to.
All customers in our house are treated
alike and whether young or old in expe
rience,, wUl ever receive the very best
value for their money that is in our
power to give. Shriek, the Old Relia
ble Clothier, 114 Market street.
Cotton.
The receipts of cotton at tbir port for
the week ending with to-day foot up
95 bales, as against IS bales for the cor
responding week of last year, an in.
crease this week of 77 bales. The re.
ceipts of the crop year to date foot up
93.788 ba'es, against 91,437 bales to
same date last year, an increase this
year ot 2 351 bales.

A Biir Price.
We saw a colored man this morning
with two quarts of strawberries which
he said he raised. They were very
large, fair and the nicest we have seen
this year. People were quite anxious
to buy them, but when they found that
50 cents per quart wa3 the price they
concluded that strawberries were un
wholesome. It is very doabtful if he
realized that price for them.
Base Ball.
The remainiDg game to be played
between the Seasides and the Ralcighs,
which was postponed on account of the
weather, will come off on the 29th inst.,
upon the return of the former club
from playing the match game at Hen
derson. While in Raleigh the Seasides
made many friends, and their conduct
as well as their playing was very highly
commended. From the report of the
News -and Observer it seems that at the
game played there both nines became
careless after the sixth inning and the
remainder of the game was in a loose
manner.
Temperance.
The High Tent of the Independent
Order of Rechabites of the United
States will convene at Temperance
Hall in this city on Tuesday, the 2Gth
inst., at 10 o'clock a. m. Delegates
from all portions of the country are
expected to be present, and the meet
ing promises to be of much importance
to the Temperance movement which
is now claiming the attention of a great
portion ot our people. They will ars
rive on Monday night's train, and will
be the guests of Unity Tent, No. 00., I.
O. R., of this city, whose members
have made ample arrangements for
their accommodation and comfort
while here.
STATE MEDICAL CONVENTION.
Criminal Court.
The following have been the proceed
ings before this tribunal since our las1
report :
State vs. Mary McNeil, May Fisher,
Ida Fisher, Sophia Fisher, Lizzie Riley
and Jane Holden", Larceny: Plea in
abatement. Demurrer. Motion to

Solicitor Moore is assisted in the
prosecution by Messrs. J. T. Elliott and
J. C. Davis, and Messrs. Russell and
Ricaud and F. A. Darby,appear for the
defense.
This is the trial of the parties accused
of shop-lifling. who were arrested a
short time since, and it naturally ex
cites a good deal of interest. The entire
forenoon was occupied in selecting a
. m .. - i r cn
mrv nnr, or- tne SDeciai venire ui w
which were ordered, and with the large
number of witnesses and the array o
legal talent the case will hardly be con
cluded today.
The Population.
A party of young men of this city
were guessing a night or two since at
the population of the United States, and
as their estimates differed very materi
ially, they ask us to inform them what
the number of inhabitants really is
To show how widely they diffjred we
will state that Fred Less man's estimate
was 165,000,000: David Matthews
placed the n amber at 356,000,000; A.
M Brown 567.000,000; George L,
Schutte about 50,000,000; Wm. A.
Schmidt, 52,000,000, and Andrew Yopp
Jr., 53.000,000.
The census of 1380 showed that the
population of the United States .was
50,150,783. In 1870 it was 38.558,371,
showing an increase during the decade
between 1870 and 1880 of 11,592,412.
Assuming that the same ratio of in
crease has been maintained during the
five years since 1880, when the last
census was taken, the present popula
tion Vouid be between 56,000,000 and
57,000,000, which is the best informa
tion we can give in the matter, without
making
Its Closing: Exercises The Most
Successful Meeting: Ever
Held.
Durham, N. C, May 21, lsb5.
Tho session of the State Medical As
sociation to-day was a very interesting
one. Many matters of vital importance
to the profession were considered, and
some instructive papers read. There
was special reference to the new law in
regard to physicians. It is certain to
result in the great advancement of the
profession. There is a general desire
for a higher order of education in the
medical profession. It is sure that
this result will be the outcome of
this exceedingly important meeting of
the association. The system of exam
inations no at general and compulsory
is an incalculable advantage.
The board of medical examiners is
still in session and will close its work
to-morrow afternoon, after tour days'
hard labor. No less thau 101 applicants
have been examined up to to-night.
The attendance has been by long odds
the largest ever known, This morning
300 were present, and nearly every
county in the State was represented.
The association tc-day elected as its
officers tor the ensuing year: Dr.
Joseph Graham, of Charlotte, president,
and Dr. Julian M. Baker, of Tarboro.
Secretary. Dr. Thomas F. Wood, of
Wilmington, was chosen delegate to
the international medical congress.
It was decided that the place ot meet
ing next year should be Newbern and
the time the third Wednesday in May.
The convention adjourned this after
noon until that date.
This evening the resident members
of the profession and the hospitable
people of Durham tendered the associa
tion an elegant banquet at the hotel
Claiborne. This was very largely at
tended though about fifty of the physi
cians left this afternoon in order to
make the necessary connections and
reach home by Sunday.
Koyal Arch Masons.
The Thirty-seyenth Annual Convoea
tion of the Grand Chapter of Royal

The Excursion.
The excursion last night, complimen
tary to the ladies who took an active
part in the recent festival for the bene
fit of the Wilmington Light Infantry,
on the steamer Passport, was a pleas"
ant affair. The weather was delight
ful, there was good music and the
young people had the very best kind of
enjoyment.
IJeath orliobrM an .
Mr. J, J. Rooks died at bis residence
on Moore s urecE, lender county, on
the 16th inst., aged about 61 years. His
disease was rheumatism, with which
he had been a great suflerer for many
years. lie was a kind lather, devoted
husband, good citizen and a Christian,
having been a consistent member of the
Baptist Church from his youth up. lie
was the father of nine children all of
whom were girls. One of his daughters
was married to Mr. R. S.Murray of
Wrightsvilie. The deceased, whoso
wife survives him and who did all in
her power to alleviate his intense suffer
ings, prayed for death as a release from
his agony.
The Market.
Our remarks in yesterday's issue con
cerning the hardships of certain of the
market ordinances to some of those
who bring the products of their trial to
the city for sale, seems to have excited
considerable comment. We have the
market ordinances before us which are
sufficiently explicit, but we have been
credibly informed, by those who are in
a position to know, that carts arriving
after market hours in the forenoon (11
o'clock) are compelled to wait until
market hours in the afternoon (4
o'clock) before they cau offer their
goods for sale, without being subject to
a penalty. Personally wo do not know
whether this be so or not, but we have
been thus informed. If iye the fact, it
i3 a hardship that ought to be modified
in some manner so that neither seller,
purchaser or tW-city should suffer loss.
Uecoration Lay.
In accordance with custom and in
compliance with instructions received
trom headquarters, Joseph C. Abbott
Ppst. No. 15. G. A. R., of which Col

m. on the day mentioned and thence
march to the cemetery by a route to be
indicated at a future day. Tho pro
gramme aud order ol exercises at the
