London's address yesterday, we can express our selves in no more fitting terms than to say that it was just what it should have been. It was in every sense of the word a memorial address, carefully and thoughtfully prepared, in honor of those heroic North Carolinians who gave their lives for their country. It was statistical and Noith Carolina can well afford to go into statistics. . It was historic, and North Carolina can well afford to go into history. It contained solid, substantial truths, which cannot be gainsaid, and such as should cause a throb of pride in the hearts of all true North Carolinians. It was a rec" ord, in epitome, of the most daring and heroic deeds of a gallant and self-sacrificing host of North Carolina soldiers. The language ot the address was aptly chosen terse, logical and forcible and ii made a deep and lasting impres sion upon all who bad tbe good fortune to listen to it Seldom have we heard a speech of like character receive such unanimous and hearty encomiums as have been given to that of yesterday. Its praise is upon the toueues of all who heard it. as well as of those who have read it as it appears in the col umns of the press' Mr. London is a highly gifted speaker, with a pure enun ciation ol every syllable, and a strong clear voice, so that he could be distinct' ly beard at a much greater distance than some other speakers. He has just reason to be proud of yesterday's effort. Buyyourself an oil stove if you wan. "m.ton - "durl" the Summer, moptb M ne,r - cnea-pness wui surprise you at J Jacobi's Hdw, Depot. . I ; t- Yeatorday'H Incidents. Connected with yesterdav's memo rial exerrwes were quite a number of incidents which we think are eminently proper to mention. In the first place, the day was as delightful as 6uld well be imagined. The rains of the morn- ing and preceding night had cooled the atmosphere and laid the dust, so that those who took part in the exercises, as weli as tbo9e who attended as specta tors, were not inconvenienced by in tolerable heat or dusty 'streets, as has generally been the case in previous years The floral offering were beautiful and in profusion. To one unacquaint ed with our citys floral resources it would seeru as if every garden and bush had been depleted for the occa sion, but our streets our fragrant with the aroma of numberless blossoms this morning, l he display ot flowers at the Cemetery was not only profuse, but their arrangement was unique and ex quisitely attractive. It is the opinion of all whom we have heard speak of the matter, that the floral display was far superior to that of any previous year. The tattered battle flag which was placed on the statue of the Confeder ate soldier has a history which should be dear to every North Carolinian, h belonged to Latham's Light Artillery. of which tbe late Dr. Henry G. Planner was captain. This battery, it is claim ed, fired the last shot at Appomattox. firing once or twice after the surrender had been made, not Knowing of that fact. When the sad news was an nounced Capt. Planner tore the flag fr- m its staff, and divesting hiuuelf of a portion of his clothing, wrapped it around him. next to his body, where he kept it until he reached Wilmington It had been in many a hard-fought and hotly contested field, and its battle scarred folds speak volumes for tbe gallantry with which it was ever de fended. The vocal selections were given with much taste: Tbe voices were well selected, the music and words were. of a high order ot merit, and the vocalists showed that they had given careful at tention and thorough training to their respective parts, one of the beanties ot which was that they were evenly bal anced. The vocal exercises were con ducted by Mr. A. G. Conoley, assisted by Miss. L. Belle Anderson, who pre sided at the organ. The instrnmental music by the Cor net Concert Club, under the direction ot Mr James E Wills n, was superb. The Club is composed ot thorough mus sicians who take a laudable pride in its proficiency, and will not be satisfied with anything which is not excellent It is an honor to the city. The Wilmineton Light Infantry, un der the command of Capt. John H. Daniel, turned out with fifty men, and presented a genuine military appear once. Every movement, whether in the marching or in the manual of arms, was executed with the precision of vet erans. They deservedly received much attention and their fine military ap pearance and soldierly bearing were tbe subject ot much commendation.- This is one of tbe best if not the very best military organizations in tbe State. Every member feels a pride in its sue cess, and we are glad to note its con ticued prosperity and its constantly increasing proficiency in military evo lutions. There was neither accident nor mishap to mar the solemn exercises, although tbe number in attendance was unusuaily large. Every feature of tbe exercises was interesting, and tbe lm pressive ceremonies carried many s war-worn veteran iu imagination back to those days when in the tearful crush of arms be stood shoulder to shoulder with heroes whose remains are now mouldering in the hallowed Confederate lot at Oikdale; and many a young heart thrilled with glorious pride at the thcught of tbe courage, patriotism, devotion and self-sacrifice of heroic relatives or friends whose life blood was shed for the hnor and glory of North Carolina and the Sunny South.

The most important criminal case was thj trial of Andrew Sloan, colored, for set ting fire to the gin house of Dr. S. S. Satchwell.

E Hamlin. Chattanooga. Tenn. the King Brideo Co A Popular Star. Cora Van Tassul had a boom all over tbe South. Tbe following from a Knoxville (Term ) paper tells of her success in that city : 'Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock when Liener brothers opened their store a crowd of men were waiting at the door to secure reserved seats for the Cora Van Tassel Dramatic Com pany's performance-at Straub's Theatre last nijiht. In half an hour one hundred seam were sold, and one man kept busy alt day selling reserved seats At 6 p. ru. every reserved seat in the house had been sold and the boxes all taken. Long before tbe performance began last night ever; seat remaining in the bal cony and gallery had bfen sold, and crowds were admitted to standing room i nly. About two hundred people were turned away at the ticket ofiice. be cause no more seals could be obtained. Reserved seats for the mat'nee Satur day are selling rapidly. The above will likely repeat itself here and we advise all wanting good seats to secure them at once, as the prices are small and tbe city will be filled with strangers and good seats will be at a premium. The sale ot seats for Monday evening is now open and on Monday tbe diagrams for the entire week will be opened for tbe balance of tbe week and seats can be secured for any evening's performance.

Arriving at Chief OtdeubuttelV the band played two of their best pieces in fine style, when tbe Chief appeared and cordially invited them into the house where, up on entering. he greeted tbera with a short but cordial speech ot welcome. A most superb lnnch of tempting viands, with champagne accompaniments, was immediately served, to which ample justice was done. At tbe conclusion of the interesting and life-giving exer cises at the table. Capt W. P. Oldham of W. S F. E.
