A Social Idea.
Society is always, introducing new
wrinkles. Tbe latest was among tbe
'swell" set of St. Louis, who, upon
the inauguration of the present season
sent out neatly printed invitations to
their friends, inviting them to assemble
at tbe Southern Hotel at tho slated
hour, and then attend W. W. Cole's
ideal c reus in a body. Special ar
rangements had been made tor ex
clusive space for their accommodation,
and the event proved a grand success.
Other cities are not disposed to be
bzhind St. Louis, and it is to be
presumed the idea will spead. ' At any
rate our "society" will have an op
portunity to tollow suit when W. W.
Cole's colossal shows visit this city on

Tfie most striking feature of the
Magazine of American History for Oc

letter on the death of Alexander II.
Stephens, addressed to Rev. Henry
Whitney Cleveland, formerly a Colonel
in the Confederate service. General
Egbert L. Viele writes a brilliant de
scription of the lamous "Port Royal
Expedition. 1861 the First Union Vic
tory of the Ciyil War." An excellent
portrait of tbe commander of the expe
dition, Commodore Dupout. serves as a
frontispiece to the number. "The
Fallacy of 1787" is a suggestive paper
on certain features of the Constitution,
by A. W. Clason. "The Homes of the
Constitution, by Rov. W. M. Beau
champ; and "A Glastonbury Medal,"
by H. W. RichardsoD, are both papers
of exceptional interest to the antiqua
rian. The shorter" articles are: "Ad

We learn from the Milwaukee (Wis.)
Daily Sentinel, that Mr. Charles B-
Draper, a brother of Mr. E. T. Draper,
of this city, has been appointed post
master at Oconomo woe, Wis. This is

TiieParade and Inspection.
The following communication was
received last night too late for publica
tion in yesterday's issue. It was wri'
ten by one who evidently know3 how
military movements should be con
ducted and who feels, as" every good
citizen should, a warm interest in the
welfare of the Light Infantry:
We witnessed last Thursday evening
the drill and parade of the Wilmington
Light Infantry, and to say it met our
approval is giving but scant praise.
The parade gave pleasure to the large
crowd wfTo witnessed it and the earnest
manner and bearing of 4he command
ing officer, Capt. Morrison received, the
warmest encomiums from the crowd
as well a3 the prompt and willing
obedience of the men; which was noted
by all. Tis a pity that our substantial
citizens do not show their good will
towards this company, whichin care
ot trouble they are all willing to look to
and call upon, but in times of peace
permit it to pursue its course without
one word of approval. All good citizens
having at heart the welfare of oar city,
should take an interest in our bovs,
upon whom we look with so much pride
whenever brought into competition
with others. We heard Lieut. East
man, of the 5th Artillery, U. S: Army.
express his warm approval of several
m,3neuvres; particularly, "on right into
Jine, wheeling by company, and also
of the manual. The firing was partic
ularly good.
The greater tho efficiency of the com
pany, the greater will be the esprit dit
corps, but much of both is due to Capt.
Morrison, who seems well qualified for
the position, his whole heart being given
to this work.
You will find a large assortment of
table cutlery, at very reasonable prices,
