AH honor to the gallant Senator

the floor yesterday in the Senate
with the carcass of old John Sher
man. It was a magnificent licking
and it was well laid on.
Shares in the Uevue des Deux

In Virginia the fish commissioners
are making preparations to hatch
the eggs of ealt water fish. In June
of 1889 they secured 10,000,000 eggs
of the Spanish mackerel. As soon
as the hatchery is established it is
proposed to begin operations on at
very large scale.
Flood and fire pYe vailed yesterday
at New Orleans. Half of the busi
ness quarters were submerged and
the entire city was lower than the
Mississippi river flowing past its
doors. The pressure from above is
very great and it is feared that iin
mense'damages will be done in Lou
isiana and Mississippi.
The Southern Baptist Convention
will meet at Fort Worth, Texas, in
May next. This is a large and able
religious body. It covers the terri

It will fie invited to hold its next
Convention in the First Baptist
Church, Birmingham, Alabama.
The county board of agriculture
of Burlington county, X. J., held a
special meeting a few days ago to
consult about the great depression
in agriculture jnd consider the rem
edy. -The general opinion was that
anns had declined 50 per cent, in
value, and they attribute the cause
to the tariff, over-production, big
salaries and railroad discrimination.
The Government printing, office is
now enaged in fillincr one of the
largest orders in its history. This
is for 18,000,000 blanks tor the use of
the 40,000 enumerators of the
eleventh census, who 'will begin
work in May. It will take 15,000
reams of paper and 20 presses will
have to be worked 22 hours each
day for six weeks before the order
will have been completed.
Aha! The patriotic John Sher
man, the man who poses as a
statesman and a philanthrophist on
the floor of the Senate, is being
shown up in a very bad light just
now. Ex-Gov. Foster, another Re
publican luminary, is in the. same
bad box. They have been detected
in an attempt to defraud the - State
of Ohio by a failure to list their
properties .Tor taxation. They call
them "tax-jumpers' which is a very
polite and pleasant way of mention
ing the matter Sherman is said to
be worth his minion?. He was de
tected in his little gaime a few years
ago and had to ante up $19,000. He
begged "for God's sake" that the
matter might be kept quiet, and he
was of course accommodated. Fos
ter is worth his millions also and yet
he had listed but $25,000 for taxti
tion. He will be made to squeal
and squeeze. It is just as we said
a few days ago; the rich men make
the laws and the poor men pay the
taxes.

lTev. Mr. Stilt's Address.
Rev. W. C. Stitt, Corresponding
Secretary of the American Seaman's
Friend Society, of New York, ad
dressed a large congregation last
night in the First Presbyterian
Chinch. The meeting was opened
with devotional exercises, led by Mr.
John McLaurm. Mr. SCitt's address
was of very great interest and dis
played facts and statistics unknown
to most of his hearers. He stated
that the American Seamen's Friend
of New York had been in existence
62 years. During that time they
had spent many millions of dollars
in the interest of the seamen. They
have now 14 foreign stations and 14
home stations, where services are
had and missionary work done
among the sailors. He spoke of the
life of the sailor on board ship; his
hard duties; his exposure to the
wind and the weather and the waves;
his liability to be called on deck at
any hour during the twenty four to
battle with the elements; the dan
gers and distresses and diseases of
the life; his sufferings and priva
tions and, worse than all, the land
sharks who lay in wait for their
prey at every port. The estimate
was that 5,000 sailors had visited this
port during the year 1889 and that
1,400 of these came under the in
fluence of low resorts. Mr. Stitt
gave the average sea life of a man
at 12 years and that of a fireman on
board of a large steamship at three
years.
"Ion't Give Up the Ship I"
Don't surrender, although the
fight be long and bitter, and results
thus far but dismal failures. Old
Bad Blood may yet be conquered
and disease driven from the citadel
of life. You have not used the
proper remedy, or long ago you
would have felt a change. You have
tried this and that, a hundred bot
tles of this specific and fifty bottles
of that sarsaparilla, and "feel you
might as well have used so much
rain water for all the good effect
thev had. Why have you not tried
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) made
in Atlanta, Ga. ? Because it isn't
advertised so conspicuously as other
remedies? Well, that's a poor rea
son. The greatest humbugs can af
ford the largest advertisement?. As
for B. B. B. try it, and if six bottles
don't do you more good than all the
other blood medicine you have ever
taken', call it a humbug, a name that
has never yet been applied to it by
anv one.

The Monroe Enquirei has this to
say of a gentleman who some years
ago removed from this city, of which
he is a native, to Monroe: "The
many friends of Mr. C.H. Policy will
be glad to learn that he has decided
to remain in Monroe. A few weeks
ago he sold his residence here to
Mr. A. J. Hargett and went to Ashe
ville to spy out the land, but not
being pleased with the prospect he
has returned to Monroe, determined
to wait for the boom. Mr. Policy is a
good citizen, and we would have re
gretted exceedingly to have lost him.
The Star of r.ethlehem.
The usual Spring talk of the Star
of Bethlehem is cropping up again.
An exchange says: "Astronomical
calculations show that we shall wit
ness a most interestingphenomenon
in the course of 1890. A sixth star
will be added to the five fixed stars
froming the constellation of Cassio
peia. This is commonly known as
the Star of Bethlehem, and it will
have been seen seven times since
the beginning of the Christian era.
It was discovered the last time it
appeared by Tycho Brahe, in 1572,
who described it as "a star of ex
traordinary brightness, which out
shone the stars of first magnitude,
ami could be seen in the light of
the day." But after three weeks
the brightness faded, and after hav
ing been visible for seventeen
month's it disappeared as suddenly
as it had come. The star is on re
cord in the annals of 1204 A. D., and
of 945, A. D., during the Emperor
Otto's reign. It has been supposed
that this heavenly body is the iden
tical Star of Bethlehem, and it
seems to appear once in about 315
vears."
The Industrial Manufacturing Company.
It is with great pleasure that we
announce the completion of the
work at the above establishment
on yesterday evening and the ma
chinery put to work for the first
time. Everything worked beauti
fully and satisfied all present that
Mr. E. F. Johnson, as manager, and
Mr. E. M. Titus, the inventor of the
Titus butter dish machine, are per
fectly, at home and know what they
are doing. The two veneering ma
chines work splendidly, and so far
as we know the first piece of veneer
ing ever turned out in Wilmington
was made at these works yesterday.
The first butter dish was given Mr.
W. H. Bernard and the second to
Mr. O. M. Fillyaw, ami Mr. F. told
tnV first pound of butter in the new
ly-made dish to-day.
The capacity of the butter dish
machine is 60,000 per day. In addi
tion to these, berry baskets, fruit
plates, diamond market baskets,
bean boxes and many other useful
things will also be turned out here,
as also chair seats and backs and
railroad car seats and backs.
Mr. Titus will remain only until
the whole machinery is in thorough
running order. He is evidently a
master workman and fully posted as
to all that is required.
