Sea waves, according to observations of the United States Naval Hydro graphic Officer, show a height of irora 44 to 48 feet, but those of a height great er than 30 feet ere not commonly en countered. The loncest recorded wave measured a half mile from crest to crest, with a period of twenty-three seconds.

Clothing of all kinds Is bought large ly upon confidence, for few people know the value ot merchandise. In buying clothes a man wants to know tbat be is getting a reliable article, and is naturally suspicious of an tried deal ers.

This community knows that Shriera prices are always the lowest, the best lor the least money. Years of painstaking ef fort to build up a permanent clothing bnsinesn is rewarded by an appreciative public Shriek, the Old Reliable Cloth ier, 114 Market street. t A Disappointed Office Seeker. We hear of one gentleman of tbis city who was a seeker after an official po sition, but who has already been doom, ed to disappointment. He was not particular as to what office he should bold providing tbat no responsibility no care, should attach to the position. All he wanted was a nice fat salary and that to be payed promptly; only de manding tbat tho money should be sent to his house to htm. It was dc cided, however, that the line must be drawn somewhere and that if the ap plicant could not come to headqnaiters for his salary, he conld not have the office, and this was tbe roek upon which tbe effice seeker's aspirations were smashed into ''smithereens." Oupliri Items. A correspondent at Warsaw writes us tbat the Duplin County Commis sioners and Magistrates met in joint session at Kenansviile on Monday. In view of tbe iacl that in the future the people of Duplin are to have three terms of Superior Court, they decieded to abolish the Inferior Court. Resolu? tions were passed thanking Solicitor Allen for the able manner in which he has represented the State. The Board of Magistrates and Commission ers elected as a County Board of Edu cation Messrs. D. S. Kennedy, S. M Grady and C. S. Carr. Alter transact actfng other business ot minor import ance the meeting adjurned until the first Monday in September next. The Messrs. Kennedy have bought at Warsaw the ouilding known as the Stalling's property and will remodel and build to said property so tbat by tbe openiug of the Fall session they will have room suffi cent to accommodate all who may at tend their school. The W. & W. R. R Agent at Warsaw informed our corres pondent that on Monday no lo is than 780 bushel boxes of beans were shipped to tbe Northern markets from that depot. How is that for one day? The luscious huckleberry is just making its appearance and the face of tbe average merchant is wreathed in smiles. At the Seat of Customs. A dispatch was received here yester day afternoon from Washington, D. C, stating that Mr. Charles H. Robin son, of the firm ot Robinson & King, had been appointed Collector of Customs for the port of Wilmington. The dis patch was sent by Lieut. Gov. Sted man, who is now at the Capitol, and was, of course, authentic. This settles the question so far as the different aspirants for the position are concerned. All were worthy and well qualified "gentlemen of good business qualifications, undoubted integrity and thorough going Democrats, . but only One of the number could be successful and that fortune has fallen upon Mr. Robinson Since the news of bis appointment has been received, he has been called upon by a large number of our citizens who desired to offer their congratula tions at his success. With many others we called upon him this morning at his office at the foot ot Orange street, and to our inquiry (as to when he would qualify and take charge of the Custom House, he replied that the time was uncertain, as it would probably take a number of days tp get ready and be wished to give his predecessor ample time to prepare the affairs of tho office for the transfer. It will probably be a couple of weeks, at the least, before the change will be made and the Wilming ton Custom House, for the .first time in 20 years, will be under Democratic management and control. Mr. Robin, son is eminently well qualified for the position and wl! carry into tbe office an entirety of purpose, a zeal for the public welfare and a business knowl edge which will make his appointment a credit to himself and to Wilmington. Capt. E. J. Pennypacker. who will now retire from official life, has proved a faithful and efficient officer. Our re lations with him have been pleasant and we have always found him kind courteous and extremely accommoda ting. He is a Republican and a strong partisan, and as such he ought to go and let a Democrat, who is in entire sympathy with tbe administration, take his place; yet with all this we believe that he has been faithful to his trust and has conducted the affairs of tbe Custom House, since he has had them in charge, with the strictest integrity and fidelity, and upon sound business principles Now is tbe season lor painting your houses. Go to Jacobi's Hardware Depot and buy your paints, if yon want to save mouer. t Fatal Accident. George W. Freeman, a colored em ployee at the ice factory of Messrs W. E. Worth & Co., on Second street, started at about a quaiter to 6 o'clock last night to go toward Front street bridge to a spring on the side of the railroad. The next, tbat was seen ot him his mangled body was discovered on tbe railroad track. me distance above the ice factory, bo having been rnrrver by yard eneine No. 58, of the VJL. C. & A. R. R.. which, with two freight cars, had come along. In some manner his mangled body had been caught and carried some distance be fore the accident was discovered. He was badly cut about the face and right hip and bis right leg was broken, be sides having fearful bruises up on other portions of the body. A surgeon was sent for at once, but when he arrived the suffer er was doad. having lived only about 20 minutes after the accident occurred. The bucket was found broken near tho spring and it was there that he must have been struck as blood stained tbe track from tbat point to the place where he was found. The decased. was about 29 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. He resided on Tenth street, between Chestnut and Mulbury, and was employed at the ice house to roll wood to the engine. No blame can be attached to the engineer as the train was backing at tbe time and the un fortunate man could not be seen. Terrible Accident. It seems tbat the chapter of acci- dents,already far too Iodr and appalling, is not to be concluded. Wc hear 0 them continually and the record of tragic deaths of those in our city and vicinity is truly startling. Yesterday Mr. J. J. Rowland, one of our sub scribers, and station agent of the W. C. &A. R R, at Lynchburg, S. C, met with a horrible death by a railroad ac cident, the particulars of which were about as follows: Some time, ago Mr. Rowland and his brother, under the firm name of J. J. Rowland & Brother, bought out the lumber and sawmill business ot Messrs London & Campbell at Lynchburg, S. C, and have been run ning it since the purchase. From the mill there is a railroad track extending some distance into the forest, upon whidh there is an engine and a num ber of flat cars which are used in haul ing timber to the mill. Yesterday the deceased bad occasion to go out on the road and took his seat in front oi the en gine. After proceeding some distance the engine ran off the track and throwing Mr. Rowland from the cowcatcher fell upon him and crushed him to death. The deceased was iu this city on Mon day last. He was a brother in-law of Col. T. F. Toon, of Fair Bluff, Colum bus county, the two gentlemen having married sisters. Mr. Rowland was about 40 years of age. School Committee Meeting .

The School Committee require that the teachers -shall attend the meet ings wbich are held twice a month for each race, aod to this fact much of the success of our educational system is due. It is with pride we learn tbat several of our Wilmington teachers are engaged to teach in tbe State Normal during the present Sum mer.

Last night some thief, who was not at all particular as to what sort of plunder he secured, visited the premises of Mr. W. J Penny, on Dock street, between Seventh and Eighth, and stole a wash bowl, pitcher, cake of toilet soap, wash rag and two articles of un derwear. He then went to the premises of Mr. D. Pratt, on Eighth street, be tween Market and Dock, and stole a coat and a bunch of beets. Thence he visited the premises of Mrs. Pugb, ad joining Mr. Pratt's, where he found a lot of clothing belonging to Mrs. Pugh servant, in a tub of water, and these be wrung out and carried oft.
