shadow of doubt. Mr. Vilas' report

Galveston News (Dem.): Now that
the Mugwumps have gone borne some
body should coax Hendricks to give us
an essay on tho origin, rise, progress,
habits, attainments, and general char
arteristics of tho mugwump. He could
do the subject up con amore.
It is hinted th'at the reason Mr.
Blaino and his. family give up the
pleasant Winter season in Washington
for the bleak winds of a Maine Winter
is that he has an eye to the S,enatorship
and wants to fdenf.ily himsall with the
people by waking tho personal acquain
tance of persons who will probably be
in the Legislature. .

Democrats in Connecticut are look
ing forward with strong hope of elect
ing a successor to Senator Hawley next
Winter. The election of a Democratic
Legislature in that State is very proba
ble, and, thissepu red, such a rectiflpa
Uou will be made In the. election ma
chinery as will insure the supremacy of
the Democratic party in tho State.
New York Sun : "If tho Seriate is to
be redeemed from Republican ascen
dency, and the Administration is to be
sustained, by that body during the
latter half of Mr. Cleveland' term, the
Democrats have no time to lose in bar
monizing their 'differences. Nor can
the Administration stand a passive
spectator of contests upon" the results
ol which the future of the parky so
largely depends.
It is not oaen that in this country a
priest of the Roman Catholic Church
leave that Communion and goes to an
other. Bat a case ot this sort occurred
recently in St. Louis when the Rev.
Richard L Knox, and ex-Roman Cath
olic priest, was received in Che Protes
tant Episcopal Church. The statement
was expressly made by the Bishop who
received him that the ceremony was
not an ordination to the ministry, the
Episcopal Church recognizing a3 valid,
the orders of the Roman Church . .

A Credit to-iiiiy City.
In all successful and prosperous cit
ies there is a leading house In every
branch ot trade to which the citizens
Doint with pride and pleasure. Mr. S.
H. Fishblate, regardless of expense
and labor, has endeavored to win that
position in the city ot Wilmington, and
has achieved that distinction. It is con
ceded by all that in the variety, excel
lence and cheapness of clothing his em
Dorinm has no equal in the State. It
there is any one left who doubts this,
let him call at his commodious stores
and he will be thoroughly satisfied.
He has also added a merchant tailoring
department ti his business and his
styles and fits surpass anything ever
turned out in Wilmington. f
The Point Caswell Mail.
We have at hand some further infor".
(nation relative to the daily mail route
between Rocky Point and Point Cas
well, via mule express, which delivers
a letter at a point distant only about 20
miles from this city in forty-eight hours
alter it is written Mr. Gurganies has
published his side of the story, and
now we will publish that of the people
In the first place, Mr. Gurganies is
nott he contractor with the government,
as might be inferred from reading his
communication. The real contractor
resides in Washington and he may or
mav not have taken the contract for
iess than it is worth ; that is his own
lookout. Mr. Gurganies is the sub-contractor.
V
Another thing: Mr. Gurganies says
that it is 21 miles, over a rough road,
between Rocky Point and Point Cas
well. This is a strange statement on
the part ot one who has ridden it as
often as he bas done. Any one who has
ever ridden that road knows that it is
one of the very best roads in the State
and that the distance is but
16 miles. according to the
mile posts, instead or 21, accord
ing to Mr. Gurganies, or 19, as called
lor in the mail contract. It is true that
Mr. G. has to go into Cedar Dale Wice
a week, which is only li miles distant
from the main route, and he only stops
therein returning, which makes but
three miles additional, and only twice a
week. A good horse instead of a slow
mule, could easily make the distance
in nine or ten hours, instead of twelve,
as is allowed by the Govermment, and
then not do a . particulary hard day's
work-not as hard, at all events, as it
would be if kept plowing in the field all
day.

The audience at the Opera House on
Saturday night was very small. The
play, however, which is one of the best,
was presented in excellent style and with
a conscious regard for deUil and ef
fect which could not have been improv
ed upon had the company been greeted
with an overflowing house. It was an
excellent performance and deserving of
a crowded house.
Personal.
Mr. E. R. Fishblate, of Greensboro,
is in the city on. a short visit to his
brother, ex-Mayor Fishblate.. ,?
ftev. Peyton H. Hogc. of Richmond,
Va., has accepted tho call, to become
pastor ot the First Presbyterian church
in this city.
Mr. S. Bchrends, of the furniture
house of Bebrends & Munroo. has re
turned to the city from a two weeks(
visit to the Northern markets.'
We were glad to see that Mr. Charles
D. Willson. who has been sick for tho
past week, has so far recovered as to
be able to be on the street this morn
ing. Hon. R. R. Bridger3 has returned to
the city from Saratoga Springs, where
ho has been, with his family, for some
time past. His health had become seri
ously impaired during the Summer, but
we are glad to note that it has decidedly
improved.
We were pleased to receive a call on
Saturday afternoon from a "friend of
other days" Mr. Samuel S. Peterson,
who is here on a visit to, relatives and
friends, and as the guest oi his uncle,
Mr. B. F. Mitchell. Mr. Peterson left
North Carolina 27 years ago and is
now iocated on Prince Edward Island,
Dominion of Canada, where he holds a
position under the government.
Lippincott's Magazine.
Among the articles in LippincoWs
for November, the one which is likely
ta receive most attention has for its
subject "Queen Anne, or Free Classic
Architecture." As this is the fashion
able style of the day, especially for
suburban residences, some knowledge
of its distinctive features and relative
position is a general requisite, while,
owing to the laxity with which the
name is used, and the apparent lack of
well-defined principles "which it covers
and eyen implies, clear information and
ideas in regard to it are not easily ob
taincd. In this paper the subject is
treated with fulness under its tbreefok'.
aspect, historical. instructive and
aesthetic, many specimens, old and
new, being cited and described by way
of illustration, the whole with special
reference to American usages and need3,'
the lines on which further development
should proceed, and the improvements
to be aimed at. Another article full bt
solid" and interesting information is on
"The Peabody Museum of American
Archaeology." "A North River Ferry.'1
Nos Pensions," and "The Art of
Reading," are lighter but suggestive
sketches ; while 'Van." is an admirably
painted study of animal life. The fiction
includes the second and concludinjpart
of "The Lady Lawyer's First Cnerit,
"A Random Shot," by C. W. Wil-
merding. and "A Backwoods Roe
mancc." by S. H. Swett. There is th
usual variety of poems, short papers
and editorial matter.
Beware of Parties
that hold out tempting baits. Honest
goods and low prices are tne only in
ducements necessary. If more is re
quired the patron must pay for the ex
tras pro rata, as hundreds of our pat
rons have, and who can truly testify
that such are facts. Wc have saved
our customers many dollars when they
have taken : the time and trouble to
compare our goods and prices with
scheming competitors. s This is the
only true and reliable test. We will
cheerfully send goods to your residence,
letting you be the judge. We have a
standing offer to donate $100 to any
charitable institution in this city, if
$100 worth of goods selected from our
large stock, viz: clothing for men, boys
and children, gents' furnishing goods,
and hats and caps, are not found to be
15 per cent, less than the identical
goods, of as good value, can be had
elsewhere; in many cases we would be
safe in saying 25 per cent.
It is very gratifying lo us to know
that our trade has increased, which
goes to show that notwithstanding the
different schemes and new competition
we have to contend with the masses
will not be gulled, preferring rather to
trado where goods can bo had for the
least money, and whoever offers other
inducements with their goods, you will
find that the purchaser is taxed either
directly or indirectly to -support these
schemes. Siikiek, the Old Reliable
