Light, and a plenty of it,.is needed
at the depot of the Seacoast R. R.
at Wrights ville. As it is now it is
really dangerous there at night, at
train time.
The rains had here yesterday af
ternoon did not reach Wrightsville.
The dust on the turnpike from the
depot to the Encampment grounds
was very disagreeble.
The Queen of St. Joliris carried

well to-day a very large crowd, the
excursion having been given under
the auspices of Unity Tent No.
60, 1. O. R. Some of them : were
prepared to stop off at the Rocks
for a day's fishing.
One of the largest excursion par
ties of the season was that which
went down to Carolina Beach to
day on the steamer Sylvan Grove,
L$he occasion being the excursion
given by the Bladen Street M. E.
Church.
"There were but two Federal vet

There are not more than seven or

been glad to see them all in line.
The Crescent Opera Company gave
a concert last night at Manning's
pavilion, Wrightsville Sound, as
sisted by Messrs. Manning, Smith,
Mitchell and Welch, who are among

one, and' there was a large attend
ance. The authorities of the railroads
centreing here are about to publish
cheap excursion rates for Saturday
trips. These rates are but little
more than a cent a mile. If the
tickets could be made good for a
week the up country people would
come to see us at a very gratifying
rate.
The Tub Have Yesterday.
The tub race yesterday at the
Hummocks was a very interesting
event ami was witnessed by a large
number of spectators. The course
was from the Banks to the Hum

A friend at Charlotte writes us:
"I have heard many m flattering
praises of the treatment the 'sol
dier boys' have received at the
hands of the Wilmington people.
Heard a Charlotte man, who hasjtut
returned from the Encampment, say
this morning that the boys say they
want to go there every year. I hope
the Stcite will take up with the sug
gestion made and purchase or lease
those grounds, to be used-as a per
manent encampment."
Camp Notes.
The camp presents a deserted ap
pearance to-day. Headquarters are
closed and there are no military
restrictionsplaced on the men. To
morrow it will be abandoned by all
except the Quartermaster's force.
The Hornet's Nest Riflemen will

He served in the Mexican war in

of the company, which was carried
by. him through Mexico. It is in the
armory of the Hornet's Nest Rifle

Mr. T. Pitt, of the Edgecombe

Green's Mill, about a mile East of
the city. This is the Hrst time hp
has been here since the war.
Our reporter was presented to-day
by two of the Hornet's Nest Rifle1
men with a handsome hickory cane,
cut on the grounds, as a memento
of the Encampment.
Mr. Marion Cobb, of the Edge
combe Guards, was seriously injured
yesterday. He had a friendly tds

one of the' tendons of the thigh. He

disaster that has occurred during

The Veterans in Line. -
The exact number of ex Confed
erate veterans who yesterday vis
ited the Encampment at Wrights
ville is not known but we think thatj
j.it.couid not have been far from 200.
The line was formed at the .Orton
! House and moved about half-past 4
oxtock up Front street to the depot.
It? was under the command of Col.
W. L. DeRosset, with Maj. Jas.
Reilly, Capt. Henry Savage, Capt.
James L Metts and Lieut. Geo. W.
Huggins as his aides. fie Cornet
Concert Band was in front and the
old soldiers stepped out in good or.
derto the tap of the drum. They
presented an imposing sight arid re
ceived many hearty cheers. " There
were three flags in the line, borneby
Lieut. Geo. M. Crapon and Messrs.
P. Heinsberger and Jno. H. White.
That carried by Lieut. Crapon was
the f old regimental flag of the 3d
N. C. Infantry, tattered an J torn
with shot and shell, a sacred relic of
the war. :
There was a long waic nearly an
hour at the depot, and. then the
men boarded an already crowded
train and were soon moving along
swiftly towards the Sound. -.Arrived
there they were greeted with a good
old-fashioned yell and the line of
inarch, about one mile, was taken
up for the camp. Arrived there the
line passed into the grounds, and by
the Governor and his staff, whom
they saluted, and before 'the long
line of troops, all with arms at the
present. . They were halted and
aligned facing the troops and then
the whole column was put in motion
and marched in front of the Gov
ernor and the line of veterans, sa
luting and being saluted as they
passed. As each iegiment came in
front of the vets it was saluted with
something that sounded like the old
"rebel yell." Dress parade by the
different regiments followed and
then the veterans were dismissed.
It was a notable event and one
long to be remembered by all who
were present." It is not often how
a-days that 200 old Confederates are
seen in one line and we doubt if
such a sight is ever witnessed here
again. Year by year" the ranks are
being thinned and even if the En
campment is held at the same place
next year and there is another
parade of the old guard, it is doubt
ful if there will bas many in line
then as there were yesterday.
Uppincott'a Monthly.
The August Lippincott opens with
an nnumally strong novel by Maud
Howe, entitled "Mammon," which
has a vigorous and -stirring plot.
W. H. Babcock gives a very pleasant
descriptiontnd historical sketch of
"The Eastern Shore of Maryland,''
with which this author is intimately
acquainted. An excellent autobio
graphical sketch, "My Reasons for
Becoming a Woman-Suffragist," is
by Elizabeth L. Saxon. One the
most interesting features is the close
of the prize competition, which .be-"
ganin the February number, and
the announcement of the winners'
names with the comparative stand
ing of all the competitors. The
poetry is by Frank Dempster Sher
man, Clinton Scollard, and William
H. Hayne. The departments keep
up their interest.

Farewell Dance at Southport.
A very pleasant dance has been
arranged to take place in the pavil
ion at. Southport to-night. It is ex
pected that many of the soldiers
will attend and it will be a sort of
farewell to them on the part of the
hospitable people of South port. The
Queen of St. John's will go down,
leaving here at 7:30 o'clock and re
turning after the dance. The. fare
for the round trip,- including -em

Wilmington Ahead.
The enterprising clothier and hat
ter, Mr. I. Shrier, has scored one
again for Wilmington. When the
campaign beaver was adopted by
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee as their uniform hat, Mr. Shrier
at once placed orders with several
of the largest factories in the ; coun
try for several hundred dozen and
has not only supplied his own Stat
but shipped them to all parts of Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Georgia and
even as far as Florida. Mr. Shrier
says he has sold more beavers than
any house in the South. He informed
our'reporter that he expects to selL
ten times as many as he has already
sold. This certainly looks as thongh

. Marriage Bells.
Mr. Henry Hewlett was happily
married last night to Miss Hattie
Bender, a beautiful and accomplish,
ed young lady, daughter of Ser
geant D. S. Bender, of the city po
lice force. The ceremony was per
formed by Rey. D. H. Tut tie, at
Fifth Street M. E. Church, which
was crowded with those who had
assembled to witness the interesting
event. The chancel was handsome
ly decorated with flowers. The
ushers were - Messrs. S. A. Craig,
James Ellis, S. A. Greelish and Alex.
McEachern. From the church the
bridal party drove to the residence
of the bride's father, where a recep
tion was held, and from thence the
newly-inarried pair went to the
snug little home which the. groom
had provided on Ann, between Fifth
and Sixth streets. The presents
were numerous and some of them
were very handsome.
