E. SPRINGER & CO.,
importers aaa JqKXkts,
It is" King Ice now. He rules the
roost and strange to say his reiprn is
more severe up North than it is in
the South. There is already some
talk of an ice famine this Summer.
The failure of the Hudson River
crop lias" seriously affected the sit
uation. In the whole country the
crop is hhort about six million tons
and two-thirds of this shortness is in
the New York section. There was
about the usual crop harvested in
Maine but it was all sold months
ago and is now being held at fancy
prices. Most of this, moreover, comes
to the torrid Sonth and New York
will get but little of it. Last year
ice was sold in the big city to the
heavy trade at 40 cents a hundred
and to families at 50 cents. This
year it is 70 cents to dealers and $ 1
to families. It wholesales at $10 to
$12 a ton and there is every indica
tion that these prices will be ad
vanced next month. In 1870 ice was
$16 a ton and it may reach these Qg
ures this season.
But it is not in the consumption
of ice alone that the scarcity is felt.
Fresh meats have already been ad
vanced by dealers and woe is me !
there is. some very serious talk of
putting up the price of beer to 10
cents a glass. Possibly this may not
be done but if it isn't there will be
more froth in a glass than was ever
known before, even by the oldest
inhabitant. ,
And yet it seems to us that the
remedy is within reach. Men need
no longer depend upon fickle nature
for a supply of the crystal consoler.
Art is at hand to supply all defi
ciencies. An ice factory can e run
up and put in operation in from 30
to GO days. And it will be done. By
the first of July, long before the dog
days, there will probably be a hun
dred new factories in various parts
of the country, each turning out an
average of a hundred tons a day.
No greater incentive to such enter
prises can be furnished-than is now
found in- the present condition of
affairsl
A wonderful place is that magni
ficent city of. New York wonderful
in her ways.and in every view one
may take of her. Just how wonder
ful is very forcibly told in the fol
lowing, from the New Yorlc Herald:
There is nothing in the world so
fascinating, ponderous, eloquent, dry
and altogether delightful as a table
of statistics.
Let us give you a few figures which
stir the imagination, excite the gen
eral pride and make our admiration
for this great metropolis New
York blaze like a cannel coal fire.
We have about 1,700,000 inhabi
tants,including the sachems of Tam
many, the quarrelling county Dem
ocrats and a small minority of Re
publicans, all grumbling in chorus
about our dirty streets.
AVe owe a little matter oi $144,aui,
215.42. Weian pav the forty-two
cents whenever called for, but the
rest we will probably leave to our
children with our blessing. It is a
great advantage to have posterity
to look to. We shall not have much
else to leave it, so take a peculiar
pleasure in according it the gracious
privilege of paying our debts. By
the time they begin to express tbeir
gratitude in a few appropriate re
marks we shall be where the wood"
bine twineth.
The interest on this sum, paid
with an annual growl, is pretty
nearly $7,000,000.
The total amount which ha to
be raised by taxation, and which is
expended in keeping the municipal
ity abreast with the Christian civi
lization of the couutry, is about
$24,000,000. This sum is handled by
gentlemen who obtain their positions
by political influence, but who
would scorn or words to that elTect
to use a single penny for party
purposes or drop it unseen or unac
counted for into the Wrong pocket.
Ourtaxable wealth treads on the
heels of $2,000,000,000, which shows
that some. of bur citizens carry fi
nancial umbrellas for a rainy day?
The communist smacks his lips over
these figures and thinks it about ;
time to iuaxe a general divvy, butj
the day has not yet been fixed. J
The city has clear title to a good i
bit of property, owns parks, piers, j
fmblic buildings, which if we were,
mrd up could be sold for more than!
$300,000,000 under the hammer, and
at private sale for a round hundred j
millions more.
We are therefore perfectly solvent J
as a municipality, and can afford to ;
indulge in all of the comforts and
some of the luxuries of life. . i
These figures show that New York
is in the centre of creation, and that .
all other cities, however boastful of!

A Good Idea.
The city authorities will grant
each policeman a week's holiday this
Summer. They can go wherever
they please during that time and
their pay will still go on. It is a
good idea, and a generous one. The
plan went into effect yesterday and
policemen Robert Moore an:l George
Gafford are off duty this week.
Tourists,
Whether on pleasure bent or busi
ness, should take on every trip a
bottle of Syrup of Fig?, as it acts
most pleasantly and effectually on
the kidneys, liver and bowels, pre
venting fevers, headaches and other
forms of sickness. For sale in 50c
and $1.00 bottles by all leading drug
gists. Heavy Rain Showers.
Tli is city and section have been
visited with another heavy rain. It
began to fall at 3:45 o'clock this
morning and from that hour until
3 o'clock this afternoon the rainfall
was 1.16 inches. The 'storm seemed
to be central about Charlotte yes
terday for there was three inches of
rainfall there for the 24 hours ending
at 6 o'clock last evening. There has
been too much water for the young
crops.
Only a Small Bow.
There was a small sized row at the
County House of Correction this
morning. One of the prisoners be
came obstreperous and declared he
was going to town Superintendent
King ordered him to his cell but he
refused to go and was aided and
abetted by two others. A messen
ger was dispatched to the city for
aid and a squad of police arid a dep
uty sheriff were sent out" and cap
tured all three and confined them in
the cells in the stockade, heavily
shackled.
The Diocese of Hast Carolina.
The Newbern Journal learns from
a private source that the recent
council of the Diocese of East Caro -lina
at Greenville inaugurated some
decided plans of activity. It was
determined to employ a general mis
sionary for the Diocese, the Bishop
to select the proper person. Reso
lutions favoring the establishment
of a college in, the Diocese were
passed, and a committee to. solicit
funds for that purpose was appoint
ed, Mr. J. B. Bonner, of Aurora,
promptly subscribed $1,000 to the
fund.
The office of Chancellor was crea
ted and Mr. Henry R. Bryan, of
Newbern, was elected to that im
portant position.

All About Ice.
What does it cost to make a ton of
ice? is a question which has been
propounded to us fifty times (more
or lessr to-day. Why we should
have so suddenly become an author
ity in the matter of ice is difficult to
understand. But unquestionably
much interest has beeu manifested
in the statement made by us yester
day to the effect that a gentleman in
this city had gone North, with plen
ty of nicJney in his pocket, to pur
chase an ice plant.
But as to the cost of the manufac
ture of a ton of ice: We don't know
anything about it but suppose that
it will depend upon a hundred con
tingencies and as to whether only
one ton, or many tons, is to be made.
We have heard that ice is sold some
times as low as $3 a ton for natural
ice and $4 a'ton for the manufactur
ed article and therefore the cost, if
a large quantity is made, must come
somewhere within these figures.

This organization, wnicii sprung
into existence more than half a cen
tury ago, dates its origin from the
fact of the rejection of an Israelite
by a literary society in New York on
purely sectarian grounds. From
that time it has been established in
every State in this country and has
extended its benign influences across
the Atlantic, and bodies of the rite
have been! established in Palestine,
Egypt, Franct and Germany. The
great aim of the order is to educate
the Jewish mind, elevate the Jewish
character, and to battle against the
persecution and oppression of the
Jewish race. Its charitable purposes
are shown in the endownment law,
the erection of structures for the
orphan and the aged and infirm, and
the formation of literaryassociations
for mental and moral culture.
The highest body of the order will
meet in Richmond on the 1st prox.,
and an address of welcome to the
delegates will be pronounced by the
Governor of Virginia, at the State
House, on the 2d of June. Matters
of great importance will be discuss
ed by the members, and as the
meetings are held only quinquen
nially, the business to be transacted
will occupy one week.
Mr. J. I. Macks will attend as the
delegate from the lodge lu this city.
Weakness.
How many suffer from weakness!
And what a distressful ailment it is
Always praying for strength and yet
reeling oneself growing weaker and
weaker. There is great vwtue in B
B B (Botanic Blood Balm) as a
strengthening as well as a healing
medicine. Try it as a tonic and see
how much better you will feel. It
will improve both "appetite and di
gestion. It is an excellent remedy
to use while convalescing. It aids a
natural and rapid recovery. In cases
where an invalid has remained long
in bed and bed sores or other ulcers
breakout, this remedy will afford
quick relief.
W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: 4I had a long spell of
typhoid fever, which at last seemed
to settle in my right leg, which
swelled up enormously. An ulcer
also appeared which discharged a
cupful of matter a day. I then gave
B B B a trial and it cured me." -

on the Friday evening of next week,
June th, at 8 a. m. An excellent
programme has been prepared, at
the close of which the diplomas will
be presented to thejclas?. There are
eight in this class this year, all but
one of whom are girls, there being
but one boy in the class to hold up
his end.

There will probably be hio organ

of the Lee statue in Richmond.
Thus far the number necessary to!
secure the cheap raters has not been
secured. It.is likely, however, that
quite a large number of citizens will
go. The Wilmington Light Infantry
will le.ave here to morrow night and
quite a respectable number of the
Veteran Corps will accompany them.
Belford'g for June.
The complete novel in this num
ber is "The Woman's Version,' a
touching story of a Virginia girl,
reduced to penury through orphan
age, who lives only for her little
brothers and knows the world only
through books. There are several
well drawn characters in this story.
Judge Fenner, of Louisiana, writes
of "The Race Problem; the Negro
Should Solve It,"' a paper-that opens
well aud contains an accurate state
ment of the race question. Anthony
Comstock makes an earnest plea for
"The Extirpation of the Crime
Breeders ot the Day." Rossi r r
Johnson contributes the best paper
on Browning that has appeared
since, the poet's death. Colonel
Prestou Johnson, of Ex-President
Davis' staff, gives some pleasant
reminiscences of . General Lee. A
less celebrated man, yet a fine sol
dier and a splendid poker .player
Robert C. Schenck, is the subject of
a tribute from Donn Piatt. John F.
Hume, in "How to See Europe,"
gives expectant tourists soms val
uable counsel, j A lot of competitive
papers on "The Ideal American
Newspaper" will be found interest
ing. The editorial departments are
all, as usual, excellent and will be
eagerly read.
Sword Presentation.
At the meeting of the W. L. I. at
their Armory last night a handsome
sword and belt were presented to
Capt. W. R. Kenan,
the company. The
was made through

presentation
Lieut. I). T.
Cronly, who said:
Capt. Kenan: The pleasure has
oeen assigned me, sir, by tne mem
bers of the company who participat
ed in the competitive drill at Char
lotte, of presenting to you in their
behalf this sword and belt, ai an
evidence of, their great appreeia
tion of that uniform courtesy that
characterized yeur treatment of
them all on that trip, and the ser
vice you nave renuereu tne com
pany since you have been its com
mander. Of the first, it is needless
for me speak: we have all witnessed
it: but, sir, we would have you know
that we are aware that called to
the captaincy by a unanimous vote,
you, reahzinglthe sacrifice of tim,
energy and money necessary to fill
the position, hesitatingly and reluct
antly accepted it; but having done
so, from a patriotic sense of duty.
you no longer hesitated, but went
to worK at once, zealously, tireless
ly and enthusiastically to build up
the company, to make it not only
worthy of our own respect, but an
object of pride alike to our city and
Oittie, iiuu unj wci ut u.ijy kuui n 11 y
in the Guard.
What has beeu the result? Need
ask? Sir, I say that under your
leadership we have achieved all thia
and more. The first is evidenced by
the increased and regular attend
ance of the members at drills and
meetings, and in the renewed in
terest they manifest in everything
pertaining to the comyany a weltare.
The second was most forcibly shown
bv the generous and substantial
manuer in which all classes of our
citizens aided us in making our fes
tival a grand success, and in the
hearty and spontaneous reception
given us on our return from Char
lotte. And, sir, the brilliant victor
ies to which you led us on the hotly
contested fields of Fayetteville and
Charlotte bear testimony to the fact
that the Wilmington Light Infantry
s to dav second to no com nan v in
the North Carolina State Guard.
These, sir, are some f the results
due to your skill and efficiency as a
commanding officer, and in appre
ciation of them we beg you to accept
hese tokens with the assurance that
so long as you can be prevailed upon
to wear them as our captain, just so
ong will you be unanimously elected
to that office. !
Capt. Kenan responded heartily
and happily, In graceful nppreeia-
