' ; ( - , -t A Kentucky woman, who has seven sons, all born on Sunday, has peti tioned Governor Buckner for a pen sion. She says in her letter. that she "never herd of 7 boys all Bean Born on Sunday,1 and she thinks that such - an i unexampled feat of maternity' should be properly re warded. New England is deeply interested in the rumors about the solvency of some of the Western, farm mortgage companies. The loari companies of Boston alone hold 81,000 Western farm mortgages r on , Which $76,000, OOQis outstanding. And the - insur ance companies of Hartford hold mortgages on Western farms to the amount of $70,000,000. - , The great mass of -the Pennsyl vania Democrats are delighted with the tone" of the President's message ami they demand that Randall and his misguided followers shall i fall into line. Should the apostle of protection prove ugly and obstinate an organized effort will f be'liiade to have him defeated at the next elec tion. Randall is realizing his situa tion and it is' generally thought that he will pull puietly in the traces, khowing full well that any kicking against the President's , policy means political death for him. The fire loss of the year, December estimated, has been $130,000,000, an eighth more than last year. Thee flres cost us half as much . as our Federal Goverumeiittwiceas much as it does to govern our five biggest cities, more than equal the cost of all our schools and colleges, and the loss is in amount probably not far from one-third to one-fourth of our unual expenditure on new build ings. In our whole system there it? nothing so foolish, so wasteful or so moralizing as this national bou tre, on w'hose cost the most ' expen sive of the standing jinnies of Eu rope could be comfortably support ed.

The Provincetown Advocate says: "It seems to be only a question of tout, and that not so remarkably fer distant, when the Vhoile of CJape f'od below Wellfleet wih drift into sea and lose itself.

Full attendance is desired. Election of officers will take place. Raiding: Gamblers.. Information was lodged at police headquarters last Saturday that gambling was carried on extensively at Bill Howe's place in the North eastern limits of the city. At about half past 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing Chief of Police Hall, with a strong-force of officers, raided the premises and captured Howe, the proprietor, and 12 others. It is thought that the. projected raid had become known to the gamblers, . as the premises were very quiet when the police arrived. Hound Trip Tickets. Since the subject of issuing round trip tickets on the railroads to par ties wishing to come to the city to trade has been agitated, we learn that there is a standing order on the Charolina Central Railroad to issue round trip tickets in such cases and that all station agents on the line of that road are authorized and instructed to issue such tickets for the purposes named. We had not been a are of this before or we should long since have published this fact. At St. James. ' Rev. Robert Strange yesterday formally assumed charge of his new duties as Rector of St.. Tames' Parish. His first sermon to the congregation was preached in the forenoon. The church was well-filled with devout worshippers. Mr. Strange preached a strong, practical sermon and in it spoke candidly and directly to his congregation as to the duties of a people to their pastor as well as those of a paster to his people. We trust that Sir. Strange" min istrations here in the city of his birth may be one full of years and rich in good works. Kail road Changes. Yesterday's New and Observer says that there . will be several changes in the office of Mr. F. W. Clark, the general freight and pas senger agent of the R, & G. R. R. system, to take effect January 1st, 1888. MFred. Bryau will take the place of Mr. H. G. Bowles, chief clerk. A gentleman from New York will take the place of Mr. R. P. Richardson, the stenographer. Mr. D. S. Cowan will become rate clerk and Mr. Newsom, at present em ployed in the office of the Commis sioner of Agriculture, will take a position with Mr. Clark. . loolt Here, Mister! r A man's first duty is to himself and that is to keep warm and comforta ble. Good clothing is cheaper than doctors1 bills and nasty medicine. Heat is life, cold is death. Protect the body with warm woolen under clothing ana stout overcoming aim you will be ready for any blizzard, kittle or big, that may stray in thi direction. You- can .get the best clothing and furnishing goods of A. Shrier, and for the least money.

McCIam my, who represents the Third North ; Carol ina 'district.' wa iidt a candi- j date when nominated, and when the! news of his selection was told him he was between the handles of, his plow at work in his corn-field. This fact was widely disseminated thro out his district during the campaign and doubtless won for hiiu many a vote from among the farmers. Rose Osborne. The Rose Osborne Combination closed a moderately successful en gagement here last Saturday night, playing at that time to a small house, which is no unusual thing fqr a Saturday night in Wilmington. The company is far above the average and the star is a superb actress. The plays presented have received the endorsement of all the large North ern cities, but they failed to be fully appreciated here or the houses would have been much larger. The company is in every way deserving. NEW ADVIfiKTIM.. KNT8.

You have got to have Xmas presents, and we have sensible presents for your wife, children and friends, and in the meantime, the wives must not have their husbands "get left," even though they pay the bills.
