Ko3a Bouheur, the most celebrated
painter of animals that has ever lived,
has loot? been anxious for a genuine
wild horse. Such a horse,' recently
captured from a band: running in our
tar West, has been shipped to her. It
is as wild as wild can be; and it is to
be seen whether even Miss Bonheur
can transfer to canvas his blazing eyes
and other peculiar features.
The famous trotter Harry Wilkes
won $17,845 during the season of 1886.
It is the largest sum won by any Iro
tinz horse in receDt'year., "and makes

Among tho begging letters recently
received at the ollice ol a benevolent
society was one running thus: "This
unfortunate youog man is th&only son
of a widow who died childless, and hi
earnings maintain his aged father and
infant brothers, whoso sole support he
is."Thn secretary of the bureau wrole.oa
the margin of Ibe epistle the following
note: "The circumstances of this case
are probably exaggerated,"
We have very little fears of the re
suit of the attempt to subvert the prcs
ont 8 y stem ot county government in
this State. The Houso is for it, oi
courser because there are enough ren"
egades in that body for the Democratic
party to give a majority to tho Republi
cans, but we feel suro that the Senate
will stand firm. It would be a suicidal
policy for the Democrats of the West
to force this thing on thair brethren of
the Kast. It would be.- cutting their
own throats. The News aiid Observer
puts the matter plainly when it says :
The county government matter has
been made a special order in the House
lor Friday. There should be but one
sentiment with regard to it among
North Carolina Democrats. It is of im
nirtanea to the whole State. It is ot j
vital importance to the East and the
Kast has its due proportion of taxpay
ers. It the property-holding classes of
the East are made to yield place in the
management of their local affairs ;o
tbose who will make ducks and. drakes
of their means, they will be deprived at
the same tiinet the ability to pay
taxes in any considerable measure.
The whole State is therefore interested
in the maintenance ot the status quo
A part cannot be injured without me
fclVanla nftka ininrs hamCP fott V t-hA
whole, and a change at this time, it is
admitted even by those who, seek a re
peal for certain counties, would ba a
"crious blow to the people ot the East.
Let all who have the true interests ol
the State at heart stand with the Dem
ocratic party in opposition to ny
chan? in tho sAlfnrpsprvativea BVStem

the fog was so dense as it was at about
8 o'clock this morning. There were
times whon it was impossible to dis

There was an alarm of fire at about
II o'clock last night sent out from box

occasioned by fire being discovered in

Ninth and Tenth. The flames were
speedily extinguished and the damage
was nominal.

Leo Johnson, of New York, was at the
Charleston Hotel, awaiting the arriva
of his yacht Dream, which had not been
heard from Dec. 3l3t, at which date
she left Beaufort. N. C Mr. Jjhnson
was anxious concerning ner lite and
had written and telegraphed to al
points along the coast, but could learn
nothing from her. The Dream is the

she has reached her destination and re

At a recent meeting of the Cotton and

influence and efforts, it necessary, to
delay any action looking towards the
passage of the Iuterbtale commerce
bill until after the meeting ot the N ac
tional Board of Trade, which convenes
in Washington City the 17th of this
month. The members of the Cotton
Exchange here beiieva the passage of
the lleagan bill will be .detrimental to
the interests ol our entire people, and
thiRk the action of the National Board
of Trade will tend to influence Con

relieve our peopleot what now appears
to be oppression. 1 1 is said on good

My wife, five years ago, was confiris
ed to her bed with inflammatory rheu
matism of the muscles of the back.
Fhe doctors thought her case hopeless
and doomed her to be a 1 bedridden in
valid. The violent pain kept her
awake almost every night. She lost
over thirtv pounds in weight. To case
the pain I thought I would put on All-
cock's Toruus Plasties. I covered
her back with them. To my great des
lisht she began to sleep well. The pain
very much abated in one week. I then
took the piasters off. washed her back,
and put on trc3h ones. At'tbe end of
the second week, she insisted on getting
up, and by the third week was entirely
well and able to attend to her house
hold duties. E F. Woolston.

was in the act of prying up the sash
when bo was discovered. He happened
to see the officer approaching when he
ran, but after a short and sharp race
he was captured and locked up in the

as tho party who had recently com
mitted several other robberies, and es
pecially as the man who broke into B.

The Railroad Question.
Editor Review: Ai a decision has
been arrived at by the Board ot Alder
men ot our city, It may now.be not in
opportune to say that it the gain to
Wilmington would hayo warranted the
gilt for it meant nothing less of
$150,000, and proportionately increased
taxes, there is little doubt that the
Board, composed of thorough business
men, would leave advocated the dona
tion. They saw that the wisdem ol tec
outlay was more than questionable to
spend such a large sum to extend the
Cape Fear & 1 adkin alley line of rail
to Wilmington, when in fact- we leave
already a close conacclion with .it by
Ihe'CaroIina Central 11. II., via Shos
Heel or Maxton. The -connection
exists, trains connect daily, and we
oUht already to see a few grains of the
flood of wealth the C F. & Y. V.
U. II. is to pour into Wilmington if it
existed at all, for it is an eyeryxlay
event for railroad corporations like
individuals lo join hands it their
mutual interests arc served. The con:
linualion of the C. F.-& Y. V. 11. II. to
a jood deep water outlet, such as Wil
mincton aflords, will without doubt
greatly increase its value to the stock
owners if they should ever want to sell,
especially it a large share of the cost is
aiu out oi our tax-payers pocKets.
Aa a railroad connection it. is nearly as
useful to Wilmington now as it ever
can be, buj. not to its owners until tbey
finish it lo this city.
