Mmm- While King Humbert of Italy was shooting in the park at Monza bis gun missed fire, and when he put in anoth er cartridge and Ored he received such a shock that he thought tho 'fe.un had burst and broken his arm. It was found that the first bullet had not issued from the gun, and the second occasioning a block, it was only the excellence ot tho gun that prevented it from bursting. Tho French Minister of Public In etruction is doing all he can to put a premium on large families. An eld law ot the Convention has already been revived whereby every.ninth child of a family is educated free, and now it has been decided that in the case of the ly cese, or high schools, the fees should be reduced wheu several brothers attend. The manufacture of mild Tsteel by the Bessemer process has, it is said, been so greatly reduced in cost in England thai steel ships and iron ships of the same class have come to be of fered at precisely the same price. This possibility, it is remarked, arises large ly from the fact that fa steel ship of a given strength can bo made of rauch lighter weight than one of iron. Rutland (Vt ) papers tell the story of a farmer in that neighborhood, a widower and well to do. who not long ago wrote to a woman near by whom he had neyer seen, describing his cir cumstances, lie told her that if he did not hear from her to the contrary with in two weeks ho would call with a minister and marry her. No letter came, and he carried out his -threat at the appointed time. j There is a. remarkable lull in the English real estate market. The fact is that so many who have tried to sell have found tho attempt hopeless, ex cept at an enormous sacrifice, that others are deterred from it. So people live on in big houses with a few ser vants, awaiting events. In some cases half tho house is shut op, and the kitchen "gardens, hothouses, &c, are leased to the gardener. . , - Prime Minister Est rap of Denmark is credited with along cberhhwi design to imitate Priace Bismarck in his anti socialistic policy, and RasmusserV at tempt on his life will give him a good excuso to begin the work. The leading Danish Socialist paper' sella. 23 000 copies a day. and it is remarkable that socialism is found equally among the rural and urban populations.

There was quite a fall of snow at Goldsboro to-day, but it did not reach far South of that city.

Thero was a very pleasant meeting last night of the Literary Society oi the Wilmington Light Infantry.

The names of those who will occupy subordinate positions under Postmaster Parsley haye not yet been fully determined upon further than that Col. James G. Burr will hold the most prominent and responsible place. A Koucrli Journey. An aged man by the name of Piner, with his equally aged wife, 1 ving in Carteret county, have relatives at Wrightsville Sound whom they wished to visit, and to accomplish that object they started a week or two ago in an open boat and made tbe entire journey through the Sound, a distance of nearly 150 miles, arriving safoly at their place of destination in cUie season. While at Wrightsvilic they concluded to pay a visit to Mr. John Quinn, living at No. 513 North Seventh street, who was an old acquaintance, and trudged on toot to. this city and are now tbe guests ot Mr. Quinn. When they are ready to return they will trudge back to Wrightsville and thence by boat to their home in Carteret. This would be considerable of an tin dertaking for young people in tbe ful prime of vigorous manhood and wo manhood, and for a couple who have passed the allotted period of three score and ten it is a formidable task. We wish them a safe return to their homo. A Kafir Baby. ' There was a large, fashionable and cultured audience at the Opera House last night to witness the rendition of the new theatric candidate for popular favor entitled "A Rag Baby." The play had bcn well advertised, and it was expected that it would exceed any thing in the mirths-provoking line that had been presented here this season. But in this there was some disappoint ment, for while in many of its pans it was intensely ludicrous and laughter provoking, there was a good deal that was strained and far-fetched. The actors and actresses geuerallydid wel but the fault was in the play. It bad not half the merit, and consequently did not afford the performers half the chance for effective and telling work as did its predecessor,' The "Bunch of Keys," by the same author. Sport, as a comedian, was good and J'emis, as a soubrette, was lively and vivacious f but lor tho life of us we could not Eee what particular attraction was created by the presence of tbe dog Handsome. The daucinz was fair and the same might be said of tho sineinir "only this and nothing more." Still there was a good deal ol - - . solid, hearty laugh in the piece, and the audience were kept in tbe best of humor by the occasional bursts ot irresistible drollery. Tborag, "Grab it quick." which seemed to be thrown out as a "hit," amounted to but little, and might as we1! be dropped. An excel lent violinist accompanies tho troupe. As a matter ot fact the piece itself is a trifle mere dramatic syllabub, made to tickle the fleeting palate of tbe mo ment and nothing else. In this it was successful and the company, which is a really good one, worked it for all it is worth. It is pretty full of fun. though, and that fills the bill. It will be pre sented again to-night and for the laat time here. vllfTEW. Abandoned. The signal station at Scott's Hill. Pender county, has been abandoned and the property attached to the office has been packed up and shipped to head quarters at Washington, D. C. No reason has been assigned for the aban" donment of that station, and we have been under tbe impression that it sub served a good purpose. Published by request of Col Lamb J ' Mrs. Greenouffh's Satchel. Nokfoi-K, VA.. Nov. 30tb, 1885. H. A. McEAcnERN, Esq , Cbadbourn, N, C. Dear 6' Oo my return from at tending tha Harbor Convention in Savannah, I find your letter of tbe2itb. Mrs. Rose (Jrecnougb, the celebrated female spy of the Southern Confederacy was drowned ia Attempting to run the blockade at Fort Fisher, in the British steamship '"Condor." The steamer grounded in attempting to cross the bar and Mrs. Grecnougb, in opposition to the wishes of Capt. Hewitt, insisted on being sent ashoro in a boat. Tbe boat was capsized in tbe breakers and Mrs. Greenough was caught underneath and drowned. Her body was recovered and tenderly cared for and sent to Wil mington for burial. She left two orphan children, young girls, in France to be educated and as her means were limited care was taken to save all of her effects for their benefit. Her trunks, which had gotton wet, were opened and the articles carefully dried under a strick guard. One of tbe sol dicrs who found her body brought me a small satchel, which he represented was fastened to her neck, containing one hundred sovereigns (gold coin worth $4.84 cents each). There was no check on England in the satchel, as you have heard, nor do I think there could have been one found about her person, as it would have been valueless except endorsed hy her legal adminis trator, who would have heard of it. When I had secured all ot the unfort unate lady's effects, I communicated with President Davis and he got Wm. Albright, E3q.f of Wilmington,N.C, to administer on the estate and I turned over all tbe money and property to him, taking his receipt for the same. I should judge from your letter that some soldier bad charged Lieut. H. D. Williamson with appropriating some of the contents of the satchel. This is not only unkind, but most contemptible, for I am sure there wa3 no one in my command who would have taken any thing from the poor orphan girls of this Confederate heroine. Tbe records of the Clerk's office in Wilmington will doubtless show the carefully taken inventory of Mrs. Greenough's effects and this money was all returned to the children, as well as their mother's wardrooe. jewelry and other articles which were found on her person and with her baggage.
