There is some talk of making two
States out of California and five out
of Texas but it will probably all end
in talk.
A decree for the sale of the Rich
inand & Alleghany ft. ft. has been
prepared and filed in the Circuit
Court of Richmond. The case will
be heard next Saturday.
The Georgia Legislature has done
the right thing. It has declared in
tavor of text books by Southern
authors for the Georgia public
schools: North Carolina might fol
low suit.
The New York Herald of yester
day has ix. special from Birmingham,
Ala., which says that a mob stormed
the jail there at midnight of Satur

the wife and child murderer, and
that the officers tired into the mob,
killing nine and wounding many.

noon, as they expected to do, be
cause of the inclement weather, but

There is said to be a prospect of a
serious split between Republican
Senators from the East and those
from the West. The former want to
maintain the high tariff and the lat
ter will insist on a reduction. This
is according to the New York Her
aid dispatch from Washington City.
So tariff reform is not dead, after all.
Peck's Bad Boy.
There was a good audience pres
ent at both the matinee oh Satur
day afternoon and the regular per
formance on Saturday night of the
"Peck's Bad Boy" Company. The
show is a good one, although per
haps not quite as good as- when last
presented here. It was good enough
however, to keep the audience in
roars of laughter ail the time.
Look Out for the Storm!
The cautionary Northeast signal
was raised here to day at 10:45
o'clock. The order was for both
Wilmington and Morehead. There
is a storm advancing East -Northeast
from the Georgia eoast, and if it
continues in this direction we will
probably get some of it. Up to this
writing there has been no evidence
of it, whatever, besides the rain.
Bigliop Haiti's Lectures.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Haid preached to
a large congregation yesterday
morning in St. Thomas' CHurch and
at night delivered the first of the
series of lectures he will give in this
city. Notwithstanding the inclein
ent weather there was a large con
gregation, who listened with the
closest attention to the distinguish
ed prelate's eloquent discourse. The
services were very interesting and
the music was exceptionally good.
The Germania Band Concert.
The grand concert to be given by
the Germania Cornet Band at Luther
Memorial Hall to-morrow night will
be a musical event of great interest.
The programme is an excellent one
and ifc will be carried out to the let
ter. The members of the Baud will
be assisted by some excellent musi
cal talent, outside of their organiza
tion. Messrs. Jncj. H. Rehder, Paul
M. Knobloch and J. G. L. Gieschen
are on tne. committee or arrange

Santa Claus in the Flesh.
Two of Col. CantweU's pretty,
bright little children were at the
Produce Exchange on Saturday af
ternoon and Capt. Rankin was talk
ing to them about Santa Claus.
While this was in progress Mr. E.
Lilly, the veteran of the Exchange,
opened the door and walked in .when
one of them, looking up into his be
nevolent countenance, adorned with
iti long grey beard, remarked: "Oh
dere's Santa Kaus now,1' and at
once ran towards him. It was really
a pretty compliment tq Mr. Lilly
and one" which that genial gentle?
man seeded tq qpRreciate.

The. Charlotte News.
We welcome with a great deal of
pleasure the appearance of the

very popular with the merchants of
Charlotte for more than half of it is
filled with live advertising matter.
Miiy it live long and proper in the

Interesting Services.
The services at Brooklyn Baptist
Church yesterday morning were ex
pressly, for the children and quite
interesting, instructive and iuipres
sive. The sermon was divided into
four sections each of which was fol,
lowed by an appropriate hymn. At
the conclusion of the third section.
Mrs. H. H. Foster and her eight
year old daughter, Norma, sang a
pretty and appropriate song entitled
"Tottie's Prayer" in which the
prayer was sung by little Norma
with fine"effect. Mrs Foster sang
the theme and both were well sua
tained by the organist, Miss Ida M.
Strauss. The piece as rendered was
deeply affecting, the prayer espec
ially caasiner the tears to flow in the
eyes or quite numoer or me large
congregation p resent.
For the Review.
AT ST. PAUL'S YESTERDAY.
Just o'er was St. Paul's Sunday
school,
And she, a teacher young and
sweet,
Was standing in the vestibule
For it was raining on the street.
Her escort stood beside here there,
One saw he was her lover too,
And not to blame tor one more
fair
Could scarce be found the city
through.
He'd sent for an umbrella wide,'
And while they waited till it came
Industriously the lover sighed
Fanning Cupid's tantalizing flame
Sometimes her ruby hps would pout,
Her lovely eyes would grance
around
To see if we were finding out
"How matters stood" by look or
sound. -At
last, the silken canopy
Arrived, and they prepared to go;
He waiting on her tenderly
Her cheeks with roses all aglow.
The silent poet viewed the twain,
Ami wished them every happiness;
Should they together take life's rain,
May heaven a happy union bless.
The marionettes.
Bell's original Royal Marionettes,
together with A. H. Ellis' Cyclone
of Novelties and grand gift carni
val, will begin a one week's engage
ment, commencing at the Opera
House to-night. This company car
ry their own brass band and orches
tra, making this one of the strong
est organizations of the kind trav
eling. They give a free concert en
tertainment every day, besides giving
free stereoptican exhibition jn front
of hall every night. The Charleston
News and Courier says of this com
pany: - '
On Thursday night the Royal
Marionettes made their initial bow
to an audience at the Academy of
Music, and a more astonished and
delighted audience was never within
its walls. The entertairjmenfTroiu
first to last was excellent. The ma
gician, musical people, comedians,
and dancers were all of the first
water, while the minstrel perform
ance of the Marionettes must be
seen to be appreciated. All who
were present voted the show a great
success. The presents given away
by the company were, not the ordi
nary and cheap'kind usually given
away at similar entertairmients bat
were rauy vaiuaoie anu useiui. ,

the evidences is that some are
