Fired with emulation of Evangelist

It is announced on authority that the
German Government has in pre para
tion a bill excluding from the succcs

will affect both the Duke of Edinburgh
and the Duke of Cambridge,-will prob
ably be passed in the autumn.
The Governor of Kilmainhani jaU
was lately recognized by Mr. Healy, M,

formerly been his prisoners, soon came
clustering around him, and carried him

The controversy oyer Gen. Grant's
name has not yet closed. His father.
in a letter which has been published,
savs that his name was alwavs Ulysses
Simpson, but Gen. Grant himself,
when he first entered West Point,
wrote it on a hotel register as TJ. H
Grant and that leaf of the register is
still in existence. It is not claimed
at all now that his name was Hiram
Ulysses.
The St. James Gazelle is not in full
accord with Canon Farrar in bis re
marks in Westminster Abbey at the
Grant memorial services. We quote
from a cablegram in the New York
Ilerald :
The St. James Gazelle (tory) this
evening joins the Saturday lieview,
(also tory) in carping at the Grant
memorial service in tho Abbey. The
editorial claims that no one, Lincoln
excepted, on the side of the North could
compare with Lee, Jackson and Beau
regard in nobility of character. "This
forbids us," continues the paper, "to
regard the Southern soldiers as crimi
nals over whose defeat Englishmen can
rejoice." Too article nexi criticises
America's "grana lunerai ooom, ana
says: "It would have been more hu
mane to have buried the Northern Gen
eral with less ostentation."
Thn anrtlle. next directs its erowl
against one ot its English clergymen.
"Why should a dignitary of the Eng
lish Church use such language as Canon
Farrar did on the occasion? It was as
man. nf war alone that he talked ot
Grant, who might have been treated in
a better way than that by a Christian
Church ftnrl in & church more than any
other associated with the greatness of
... i
the English people, uanon uarrar

ness tho lessons which eyery religious
.... tr v i
teacher should have arawn. iiesniueu
the battle afar off twenty years alter
tho war had ceased. Indeed, he was
mom like a. soldier than a Driest. Alto
gether it does not seem to us that either
at homo ior in America any good or
nrnrinnt man should reioice over the
service held yesterday in the Abbey at
Westminster."

Correction.
In our report of the prisoners brought
here from Rocky Point yesterday, we
should have stated that they were in
charge of Mr. R. I. Durham, deputy
sheriff, instead of Mr. R. I. Armstrong,
as we made it appear.
For tlie Country.
Messrs J. L. Yopp and JoeSchloss,
two of the best bicyclists in this city,
propose to take a trip in the country on
their wheels within a day or two
They will take the county road and go
as far as Rocky Point, i n Pender coun
ty, and return th same night. It will
be an entirely novel sight to many of
the people whose houses they will pas3.
and it would not surprise us were tbey
looked upon by some of the colored

Herndon, and they think that with
two months of instruction from him
they will.be able to "go it alone."
We learn that they propose to give
another excursion down the river bo
fore the season clones.
Painful Accident.
Mr. J. T. Collins, of Ponder county,.
was in the city yesterday, and he in
forms us that on Tuesday last, as Mrs
W. W. Larkins and Mrs. J. Henry, of
Long Creek, in that county, were riding
in a buggy to wnicn a mule was attach
ed, they met a pack peddler in the road
As the mule showed signs of fear, one
of the ladies asked the peddler to step
out of the road until they could get past
This the man refused to do, and the
animal, becoming thoroughly frighten
cd. dashed out of the road into the
bushes at full speed, which caused Mrs
Henry to be thrown violently from the
bucev. breaking some of her ribs and
her collar bone. Mrs. Larkin3 escaped
without any serious injury.
Pomology.
Each succeeding year clearly demon
strates the fact that this section of the
State is peculariy adapted to fruit
culture. Bunch, or trelli3 grapes, are
successfully grown and ripened ; peaches
are profitably raised ; pears grown here
are equal in size and flavor to any we
have seen, and Mr. W. A. Riach. Gen
eral Auditor of tho Atlantic Coast Line,
has proven tha. as fine apples can be
grown in this locality as are raised in
the State. We have before us a speci
men of a variety ot apple, the Sin
clair," raised on his truck farm near
this city, which is as fine a specimen of
his fruit as a pomologist would desire
o (cast his eyes on or satiate bis crav
ings with. The "Sinclair" is neany, it
not quite, as large as a man's fist, is
blood red and very smooth. It is . en
tirely free from blemish ot any kind,
which is but another evidence of what
thrift and well directed energy will do
owards developing the resources of
our section. Mr. Riach has a hue farm
under a high state of cultivation, which
has been brought to its present ex
cellence by a careful study of the re
quirements of the soil, and well direct
ed efforts prompted by sound judgment.
It lieata All.
How trade does keep at Shrier'sJ is
the remark often made by visitors and
frequently overheard. It is indeed a
matter of ereat surprise while nearly
every (we may say every) lohting
house is complaining of dull business.
This encourages us to do still batter.
Depend upon us always. Depend upon
us always ior the best of everything at
the lowest price. Remember, it will
pay you to trade with the Old Reliable.

A Curious Effjr.
Mr. J. T. Westbrook, of Harrison's
Creek, Pender county, has a heu which
laid an egg a few days since ot an ex.
traordinary kind. It was very large
and when it was broken was found to
contain the white of an egg and envel
oped by this was a full-sized egg with
a perfectly formed hard shell upon it.
Mr. Westbrook had supposed from its
unusual size that the outer shell con
tained a double-velked egg, which is
often seen, but was very much sur
prised to find the inside as we have des
cribed.
The Weather.
The weather was certainly
in
"tan-
trums" for awhile, to-day.
At
was
one
lime this afternoon the wind
due
East and clouds of dust were blown
down Market street towards the river.
In less than a minute from that time
the wind was due West and the clouds
of dust were blown up Market street
from the riyer. In about five minutes
after this the rain began to fall and the
dust was soon laid. The thermometer
fell three degrees in a very few min
utes. The rain was much needed and
the cool atmosphere, after the extreme
sultriness and oppressiveness of the
morning hours, was indeed refreshing
Painful Accident.
As Mrs. rarker uuince anu tier sis
ter, Miss Sallie Burgwyn, were walk..
ing on the East side of Seventh street,
between Market and Dock, at about
noon to-day, the former, who was on the
outside of the sidewalk, unfortunately
slipped and fell, breaking her hip. The
walk had quite a sharp decline towards
the gutter and the grass had grown up
so that it was rather obscure and
Mrs. Quince did not see exactly where
she was stepping.' She was carried
homo and her family physician, Dr. E,
A. Anderson, was immediately sum
moned and rendered such surgical as
sistance as her condition demanded.
Notes from Smlthyille.
A correspondent at Smithviile writes
us that there are a great many visitors
there now and that all are haying a de
lightful time ot it. The Hotel Bruns
wick is full of guests and the manage
ment are talking of having to place cots
in the pavilion. He is a lucky man who
sleeps there as it is one of tbe coolest
and most delightful places we eyer
saw. Present prospects are yery favor
able to making Smithviile a first class
watering place for Winter, as
well as for Summer guests. At
this time it is full of clever
and agreeable people from Sum
ter, Darlington, Charlotte and numer
ous other places and they will be sure
to speak well of its many advantages
and bring their friends with them when
they return next season. There was a
grand ball in the Pavilion last nigh1
and it was crowded to its fullest ex
tent and next week there is to be a
children's fancy ball there which will
be well worth Icokiog at.
We think that tho Hotel Brunswick
ought to be enlarged and we under
stand, from good authority, that this is
almost certain to be done next winter.
We noticed quite a fine display of
dog collars at Jacobi's Hardware De

Arc Melons Unhealthy?
We guess not. There is a family in
this city who have already eaten 81
watermelons and 137 canteloupes thus
far this season and the several members
of the household are in excellent health
This was told us by paterfamilias just
as hewas about indulgein a huge water

to eat was an outside issue and not one
of the 81 we have named.
