The Shelby Aurora tells of them as follows: In the county of Cleveland lives a parsimonious, honest and industrious pair. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ilamrick, called ''Potato Tommy," lamoua !tor their good potatoes and numerous pro-! g ny. They have lived; together half a century, yet never bought a pound of bacon or a bushel ot com, never go in debt and always have potatoes to soil. This pair furnished thirteen sons for the Confederate service and have had twenty-three children, twenty of whom arc now living. Recently a stranger expressed his surprise at .her being the mother of twenty-three children. She jocosely replied: ,4I wanted one more child so as to make even two dozen.11 Xapoleon .would have beon happy to have bad such prolific mothers in France -- Tho South Atlantic & North western Kailroad. Editor Review: We of the Old North State, (with modesty be it said) fhave reason to congratulate ourselves lor our efforts and out successes, in the past quarter of a century, more than t - C fi . . a . most oi our sister states. Ana tnis is because we know what we want and capture the same. What we are now in need of is a, shorter and cheaper connection with the West and its products The South Atlantic & Northwestern Railroad, which is soon to be built from Smithville through a valuable and pro ductive part of North Carolina to Bris tol. Tenn., will supply us In this mat ter, because it will reduce the distance between all the great Western " centres and Wilmington by at least 300 miles, and so lay down our necessities in Wilmington at a minimum -cost, thus nabliog our merchants to oner their ustomers still greater induccmenU.-r nd so, too. will it be of great valueto ho W.. C. & A. R. R.. or tho Carolina Central, (whichever shall secure traT- ic arrangements with it) because they Juust notonly haul the supplies of tho iWest from connecting points'on the - S. Lv & N. W. R. R. to Wil ruiugtnn. Charleston and other points. Jbut they must also haul a . vast aiount of products of the land and mes (both coal and iron) which has ot yet reached them. 1 hat this enterprise is sure of com pie- ion in the near future cannot bo doubt- d. The prime movers in the enterprise have located in this city, .which will be headquarters. Messrs. G. W. Edwards of Chicago, J. F. Dane and Henry Bel- den ot New York, and J. B Biilheimer and David.

There was a fair attendance at 0 Germania Hall last night to enjoy the pleasures of the social hop which was givea by several young gentlemen of the city. Many wore undoubtedly kept away by the miserable state of the weather, but those who were present passed the hours in the happiest way. The Italian harpers furnished the music for the occasion, and the dancing was kept up, with only an iutermission for refreshments, until a late hour, or, rather, until an early hour this morns ing. The best of order was maintain ed, and it was an occasion of real enjoy ment. Wilmington in Luck. liro. Warrock, ot the W'adesboro Times, f peaks handsomely oKour.'City by the Sea." lie stys under tho above heading; Our chief city is in luck. All the cotton trom this section (nearly all) has been sent there this season, frequently taxing the railroad to its utmost capaci ty. The top ot the market" has been paid for the staple, and our drtilers hore have trcely expressed themselves as highly satisfied with their treatment in Wilmington. Besides this tremen ous incrcaso hi cotton receipts, the people of that' region are made ad ditionally happy in having $150,000 appropriated by Congress for the erec tion of a public building in Wilmington, to bo used as a post office and court room. This is something Wilmington has long needed andtleserved, ajd we arc glad to know there is no longer any doubt of it. A gentleman just returned from thai city informs us that business of all kinds is very brisk there, and that tho cry of "hard times" is no long or heard. . Our imperial shirt, with patent back, tine linen, full faced, cut lengthwise, at one dollar is a bargain. Sold only by Munson- t I'ersonal . Wu are glad to hear that, Hon. D. K.

O Beall.of the Georgia Pacific Railway, are in the city to-day. Hon. A. II. VanBokkelen has re turned to the city from a visit of several days to Washington City, where he has been in the iaterest of public works in this city and section. We were pleased to receive a call this morning from Mr. J. L. Parr, ot Baltimore, the civil engineer who lo cated and bad charge of construction on the Y, C. & C. R. R., and who is now with the South Atlantic & Northwest ern R. R He goes to Smithville this afternoon on business connected with the survey ot that road The Review Job Office is the place to get good work at moderate prices. Last Night's Concert The largo attendance at the Opera House last night was a lilting rebuko to those who may say that our people cannot properly appreciate real musical art. The night was one of the stormiest of the season, but our peopie. knowing the rich musical symposium that was in store for them, paid but little hoed to tho weather, and the house was well filled with the most refined and best musically cultivated ladies and gentle men of the city . The Quintette Club had been here before and th' so who bad had the exquisite pleasure of hear ing, them once were determined to hear l-hem again. In tho opening piece, which was a quintette arrangement of Franz .Schubcrt'3 Octette in F, tt e Club at once established themselves in i Ie hearts of the audience. The piece was exquisitely rendered, and especially beaulitul and truly artistic were the crescendo passages, which, commenc ing with an almost inaudible, but en tirely distinct (pardon the seeming paradox) pianissimo, rose evenly. gradually and purely to a grand fortissi mo which made the house ring with the sublime harmonies The movements were so genuinely artistic tha the audience was spell bound and every heart was m sympathy with the music. Beethoven's Quartette in C minor -was rendered in the same superb stylo. It is one of the best composi tions ot that wonderful genius, and the artists iast night successfully interpre ted the idea of the great composer. m i s ine piece is solemn ana grana in its theme and harmonies, and being in a flat key has none of the doleful, lugu brious tones which characterize minors when arranged in sharp keys. The first instrumental solo was by Mr. William Schade upon the flute. We would like to describe his per lormanco, out language becomes im potent to convey an adequate idea of his wonderful skill. The audience was spell bound by tho magic ot his efforts. No less remarkable were the efforts of Mr. John Marquardt, the violin soloist. He was perfect master of his violin, and it obeyed his every wish and thought until it seemed to be a part of himself. The tones were pure, rich and resonant, and the most rapid exe cutioa and the most difficult tasks of the bow failed to produce the slighte semblance of a "scratch." or an impure or imperfect sound. . The violoncello solo; -by Mr. Louis Blumenberg, was also superb, and was rendered in a finished and skilful maqner. His fingering as well as his use of the bow were wonderful. We think, however, that, in purity of tone he was hardly equal to Mr. Giese. who was with the Club when they were last here. In all else he was fully the equal of Mr. Giese. Mr. Ryan, the Nestor of the Club, did not attempt any remarkably dillicult piece, but introduced his clarionette solo as a sort of divortiscmcnt for. the rest of the programme His executive capabilities are well known by those who have heard him on previous occa sions. Miss Alice Kyau, vi cal soloist, is a young artist, this being her flr3t season beforo the public. She is good looking has a fine stage presence, and shows that she has had the advantages of thorough musical training. Her voice is mellow and sympathetic, and iu the higher notes is rich and powerful. Her low notes were good, but there was a weakness, or, rather, lack 6T fullness, in her middle tones which detracted some" what Irom her efforts. With the ex ception of a prolonged trill, which was exquisitely given, she attempted noth ing remarkably difficult. , All the artists were rcpcalcdly en cored, to- which generous responses were given, and all were delighted. It was a rich entertainment and one not soon lobe forgotten, and the Quintette Club may be always sure of a hearty reception by the really music loving people of Wilmington. Clearance Halo.
