A mass meeting of the officers
and men of the State Guard was to
have been held to-day to consider
the matter of the annual State en
campment and to give expression to
some opinion in regard to a perma

; v " To See the Parade.
The steamer Passport brought 150
passengers from Southport this
morning to witness the parade this
afternoon. The steamer Louise also
brought up a large crowd. In all,
the Southport contingent is nearly
200 strong.
It is to be greatly regretted that
Capt. Anthony's splendid troop of
cavalrymen will not be mounted
this aftejrnoon. The announcement
made this morning that the parade
would not be made played the wild
with their expectations. They will
be in the line, dismounted.
"An invitation has been extended
to Gov. Scales and suite to visit Car
olina Beach before leaving the city,
and it is4ioped that he will be able
to accept. He has expressed him
self as being desirous of visiting this
noted seaside resort, can he so ar
range it during his brief visit here
and it is hoped that he will be able
to accept the invitation.

The Troops will Parade.
After aU it has been decided to
bring the troops here for a parade

has been 'ur lived at this morning
the previous order having been re

The Crescent Opera Company wilf
make their last appearance here at
the Opera House to-night in the
Mascotte, This is a gloriously fun
ny opera and in it this excellent
troupe appears at its best. With a
full orchestra we 3ould conscien
tiously say that, their rendition o
this opera is equal to that of any
troupe which has ever yet presented
it on the boards of the Opera House
in this city. We trust that their
farewell performance here will be
greeted by a large house.
Knights Templar. - ,.
Wilmingtou Commandery No. 1,
Knights Templar, had a pleasant
meeting last night at their asylum
in the Masonic building,, at which
they entertained as their guests,
Col. Carl A. Woodruff, Grand Com
mander of the Grand Commandery
of North .Carolina, and Mr. E. M.
McRa'e, Grand Captain General of
the Grand Commandery of this
State; and others. Great interest
has recently been aroused in this
Commandery, and this meeting was
the occasion of initiating five candi
dates, which will doubtless infuse
new life into the order.

Advice to old and young: In se
lecting spectacles you should be cau
tious not to take more magnifying
voicer than has been lost to the eve
as in the same proportion that you
pass that point of increase, will cause
you further injury to the eye. Using
glasses of stronger power than is ne
cessary is the daily cause of prema
ture old age to the sight. You. con get

Sketch of Charlotte.
We received some days ago, with
compliments of the Charlotte Chron
icle a copy of a handsome pam
phlet entitled, "Sketches of Char
lotte, the Queen City of the Old
North State, and Mecklenburg, the
Banner County." It is neatly got
ten up, profusely illustrated, and
displays an enterprise which must
eventuate in great advantage to our
sister city. Our friend .Wade Harris
IkuI much to do with its compilation
it is a koou thing for the live, go-
ahead people of our sister city and
we are glad to know that there is a
great demand for it from every sec
tion of the country.
The Marine Display.
The army and the navy both
have a showing this afternoon. The
navy has had theirs and the army
will march through the streets long
after our paper has been put to
press. The whole town has capitu
lated aud surrendered at discretion
and that without the firing of a gun
The marine parade was a very
handsome affair and was witnessed
by an immense throng, which lined
the wharves and the porticos and
even the tops of the buildings on the
river front. It was a very creditable
affair, well planned and well ex
ecuted. The fleet did not start until
nearly 4 o'clock, as the arrival pf
the Governor was awaited. His
Excellency got here just after the
last boat had passed Market street
dock and was taken immediately on
board the revenue cutter Colfax,
where he could review the boats on
their return up the river.

. Why the Order Wag Revoked.
We understand that the Governor
was induced to revoke his order in
regard to the parade in the city this
afternoon in consequence of peti.
tions signed by the troops in camp.
As soon as ; they heard last night
that he had decided against the
parade they began to circulate peti
tions begging him to revoke hi
order and to allow the parade to
take place. These were presented
this morning and on the strength o f
these the former order was revoked
and a fresh order for the parade was
issued. v
