It presents new attractions almost every day. There are now long rows of cottages, all occupied, and others going up. The hotel has been reinforced by the addition of two large t wostory houses, South of the main building, each containing six comfortable, breezy rooms. In few years there will be a regular town there. The regulations are al excellent and the facilities unsur passed. Capt. Perry has a house full all the time. Death of an Aeed Lady. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Gade, of Bolton Columbus county, whicn occurred at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. C. H. Dock, at 8:20 o'clock this morning, in the 71st year of her age. Mrs. Gade was born at Lahmka, Germany, but removed to this coun try many years ago. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. H. Hutaffand Mrs. D. Otten, of this city, and Mrs u. ti. dock, or tioiton, JS. c, ana two sons, Messrs. F. W. Grade, of New York, and Adolph H. Gade, of San, Francisco, Cal. Mrs. Gade was one of a few Germans in this coun try who drew a pension from the German government, it being a school master's pension left by her husband. Arrival of the Governor. Gov. Fowle arrived at 8.30 this morning from Raleigh bv way of the Carolina Central Railroad. Af ter breakfast at the Orion, he wept to the Hammocks on the 11.30 train. The Governor's party consists of his daughter. Miss Mary Fowle, his son D. J. Fowle, Jr.', and private Secretary S. F. Telfair, The Gov ernor was escorted to the Mammocks by Commissary General Cant well and Mr. J. A. Bonitz, where he will spend the day until 5.30 this p. m., when he will make his first visit to the cami). The Governor will be received bv the whole command and then witness the dress para.de, returning to the city to night. A new feature will be the regulation' 6alute to the Commander-in-Chief by the trumpeters of the different bands. For the Safety of Bathers. .... t, ..... t -.. Messrs. James A. and Jerre Hew lett, who keep a restaurant near the Switchback, have provided them selves with a surf boatwhich is kept near the water's edge to be used in case a bather should get beyond his degths and be unable to reach the shore. Yesterday morning while a number of persons bathing in front of their place one of them, a man, ventured well out and from his ac tions those on the shore thought he was ill, distress.- The Messrs. Hew lett immediately launched 'their boat and with the assistance of a gentleman who was : present sue- ceeded in reaching the man in time to render any aid that might have been needed, but when they reach ed him they found that their help was not - wanted, as he was only playing with the waves, v The Hew etts are both expert boatmen and know how to launch a boat in any kind of weather. . Schr. St. - Croix, Rosebrook, hence, arrived at Santa Cruz Jnhe 20th. . .! WILMINGTON, N. C; i i ... 1 The Eighteenth Reunion. . A lie Keunion of the Veterans of the 18th N. C. Regiment went down to Carolina Beach to day, on the SylvanGrove, accompanied by a very large number of ladies and gentle men from this city. There were others who did not arrive here in time to go down on the morning boat, and still others from the city who could not get off1 during the forenoon, who went down on the af ternoon boat to join - them. Among those was Hon. Alfred Rowland, Representative in Congress from: this district, who ;waSt a member of the Regiment. We are not able jnV this issue to give a full list of those present, but among them were Hon. O. P. Meares, Col. W.FosterFrench, Dr. Ii. F. Lewis, Capt. W. S. Nor inent, Owen Norment, Esq., -and others, in all there were about forty present at the reunion this forenoon. . ! " Soon after arriving at thei, Beach a rather informal meeting ; was called to order, and Judge ", Meares was called for. He arose and addressed the veterans in a very handsome speach, which, occupied something more than a half hour in its delivery. At its close the whistle blew for the return of the noonday train and we were compelled to close. , There were about forty ..veteran8 present at the reunion this- fore noon. I ISchoes of Camp-life. Many of the soldier boys came up on the 11:30 train, of whom a num ber went to Carolina Beach. Attention is;alled to the fact that the hack drivers on the turnpike, between the Seacoast depot j at Wrightsville and the Encampment, are very recklejss in driving and life is frequently endangered. ..The turnpike is very crowded with peo ple and we believe a word froin Capt. Southerland would correct this fault. : j The camp was very ! quiet last night and few of the tioys were out. The hot weather causes everyone to seek the shelter of 'the urns brageous oaks which are so abun dant on the grounds but many also have sought the sea breezes and surf on the Banks. ' There was some complaint of sand flies last night, but a gentle ocean breeze springing up dispelled very quickly the annoying pests. j Col. Haywood, Surgeon General reported the health of the troops as excellent. mil . 1 1 r .1 x iie cauju i at iuuuei ui uuu uro der in all resVects. There have been no general or ders issued to day. Services will be held in the pavil ion at the camp grounds at I0:d0 a. m. on Sunday by , the Rev. Dr. Jag. Carmichael, Chaplain of the Second Regiment. The Episcopal form! of service will be used. In the aftfer noon, at 5 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Camp bell, Chaplain , of the Fourth Regi ment, will conduct services accord ing ! to the form of the Lutheran Church. ' j Inspector General Cameron re ports the camp in excellent condi; tion- ' ' .;!". ' ! We fear there is too much indul gence in ice water by the troops. When heated it is very prejudicial to health to drink much of it. - At: least a thousand passengers must have passed over the Seacoast to dav. T - -' I ; To morrow is looked forward to by all the boys with expectations of great pleasure and all say the Vets wjll receive the warmest welcome and none more warmly than the old Vets in the State Guard.

The steamer Queen of SC. John's was burned at her moorings just above the city last night about 9 o'clock. ! The Queen was owned by Mr. J. G. Christopher, of Jacksonville; Fla. She was built to run on the St. John's river, arid was brought to Wilmington last summer, .where she ran as an excursion boat tOSouth port; but this enterprise did not pay and she was withdrawn and tied iip to the river bank, where she re mained duringHhe winter -and the present summer, in charge of a watchman. The Queen was a costly boat,' had a magnificient saloon and staterooms, for several hundred passengers,' and her equipments in furniture and machinery were first c.lass in every respect. Nothing could be learned as to the cause of the fire. The boat was ablaze amidship when attention was first directed to her by jthe bright light which illuminated the, river and sky, and the flames spread rap idly fore and aft until the boat was entirely envelopsd.t'The fire burned withjeuch brilliancy that hundreds of people,- including many ladies, were attracted to the river side to witness the grand and beautiful sight afforded by the conflagration of the luckless steamer. The steam tugs Marie and Phila delphia went up to the burning ves sel, but could do nothing to save her. The Marie, however, got her hose in play and extinguished the fire that had spread from the Queen to Bowden's naval stores yard ad joining, among a lot of dross, and as usual, did excellent service. The watchman who had charge of the Queen ever since she was tied up, was on board when the fire brok out. He said that he thought that the boat caught on firJ from sparks from a passing steamer. I Tlie Koster of Offlcero. ! I Our report from the Encampment closed rather abruptly yesterday. It was unavoidable. We had cut off too much for.that issue and couldn't "chaw" it all.

Alfred M. Waddell. We copy herewith the entino article: Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, of Vir ginia, says .he has had enough of politics and will devote the remain der of his days to teaching the stu dents of Washington and Lee Uni versity the principles of our consti tutionel law. Hon. A. M. Waddell, of North Carolina, another distin guished Southerner who has been conspicuous as a politician, an nounces that he will give his undi vided 1 attention hereafter, to the practice of law. No member of the forty fourth and forty fifth con gresses made more reputation than did Mr. "Waddell. He was the chairman of the postoffice committee and one of the recognized leaders of the Democratic majority in the HouseJ In one of the sharp debates of that time, Mr. Blaine attacked Mr. Waddell . vigorously, and the friends of the North Caroliuian feared that he had been over-: matched. They were relieved when Waddell came to reply. He gave Mr. Blaine . sach a parliamentary threshing as few men. ever receive in congress. It is said that of all the men who ever tackled Blaine in congress Waddell was the only one who completely silenced, him. Mr. Waddell is a fine lawyer and no doubt I lie will find aii undivided devotion to his profession more profitable and, withal, more pleas ant than a contention with the un certainties of politics The Kazor Affair at Goldsboro. A good deal has been said about the trouble at Goldsboro between the Reidsville Rifles and the colored barbers there, and some of it has been to the 'detriment of the sol diers. j The Goldsboro Mercury gives the following as a fair and impar tial account of the whole affair: As the train on the Richmond and Danville road stopped in front of the hotel Gregory, a colored ! boy was (present with a basket of apples for sale; one soldier proceeaea to pur chase from the boy some apples.and. in the meantime, another soldier stuck his arm out of the car window and took an apple from the basket, fi.i xi a i! i 2 mt with the intention of buvincr.
