Scon reed by Fire and. Fever.
One of the distressing features of
the Virginia Uny fare is the fact that
the city has been scourged. by the ty
phoid fever, and large numbers of
persons were sick witn tne disease
when the conflagration swept the
place. The Virginia City Chronicle
of last h nday gives- a - very gloomy
picture of the sanitary condition, and
states that the deaths averaged thir
teen per week, the majority resulting
from typhoid fever a very terrible
mortality for a city of ten thousand
inhabitants. Strange to say, Virginia
City, located in a high, healthy and
breezy region, is- one of the filthiest
places in the ;West, the authorities
having paid no attention whatever to
draining. The streets are described
iy the Chronicle as foul with the ef
tluviuin from rotting garbage and
shps. It is no wonder that. typhoid
exists to uh an extent, for it flour
ishes most where there is no drainage
an J an abundance of decomposing
matter and noxious gases." The fire
w ill give the authorities of Virginia
City a fair opportunity to make the
desired sanitary improvements.
Tbe Speakership. -
Baltimore Sun Washiuj?ton Special.
A letter received here to-day from
one of the most prominent Demo
cratic members of the House state
that most of the New England Demo
cratic members are for Mr. Kerr for
Speaker. ; ' ; '
A gentleman who reached here to
night gives the following as the re
sult of a conversation between the
Hon. S. S. Cox and himself on the
sabject of the Speakership : Mr. Cox
says the contest is between him and
Mr. Kerr, with the' chanees in his
favor. He expects to get Kew York
and Ohio solid in the cancus and to
divide Indiana and Missouri wjth Mr.
Kerr, and' will have Illinois, Michi
gan, Kentucky and the New England
Democrats, tie says Randall will
got Pennsylvania and some of the
Southern States; that Kerr's strength
lies in the. West only, and that he
will divide with him. . This may .be
Mr, CoxV opinion, but it most cer
tainly is not, any one else's.
small Economies.
The things to save out of are shows,.,
false appearances and self-indulgences
not necessaries. , For instance, where
is the economy in working or reading
by. a dim light to save candles or gas,
and injuring the sight; in wearing
boots that let In the water, bringing
on colds and rhenm'atism, in living on
poor food and' lowering the system ?
Far better wear a shabby liat a week or
two longer than usna!,or dispense alto-'
gether with some contemplated piece
of finery. The worst of it is though,
that people are generally much more
willing to dispeni?with' "necessaries
that make no show than with useless
extravagances that afford an opportu
nity for a display which every -one
sees through. A late writer on the
above subject gives some words of
-warning in reference to small ecbno
mies, which are apt to degenerate in5-
to meanness. He remarks 'that we
continually read in the newspapers
ol people who die in misery and povv
erty; who have perhaps receivea help,
from the parish, and after their death;
money is found, which they have hid-:
den in all sorts of, old nooks and cor-;
ners s With tbes- onfortaoates sav
ing had become a mania, and of all
manias it is surely the most deplora
ble, for after, all monev in itself is
worth absolutely nothing: it is only
valuable for what it can procure. j If
it will onlv bring comfortH and neces
farie for those we love whilst we are
able to work, and insure independence
for ourselves wheii we cannot do so,
it is worth economies, forethought,
hard work, energy, care- and self-de-i.jal.
But even gold is boughti too
dt?ar when the desire for it is allbwed
to overpower every other feeling.

Recorder Hackett, of New York, is
one of the finest pistol shots in the.
country. One day a few years ago,
as he was discussing with his father
(the famous "Falstaff") and George
Clarice, the actor, the merits of various
noted shots, Clarke wagered that
yonng Hackett could not hit a com
mon playing card 300 feet distant.
He accepted the challenge, and offer
ed, farther, to knock a cigar from his
father's mouth with a pistol ball at
the same distance. Both feats were
successfully accomplished. r

We had the pleasure last evening of see
ine a magnificent 'oil painting: executed at
the Academy of tbe Incarnation, in this city,
by one of the members of the older of the
Sisters of Mercy now connected with that
institution." The painting, including the
frame, measures 9 by feet 11 feet and is an al
most life-size representation of tbe Cruci
fixion bh Mount Calvary. . -The mangled re
mains of the Savior are seen hanging upon
tbe cross, while in the back ground of the
picture may be discerned the walls and
buildings of the city of Jerusalem. At the
foot of the cross are represented sin, death
and the. devil by the apple, the temptation
ind the serpent. ; : The painting is ; pro
nounced by critical observers to be a mag
nificent achievement in art, and our city may
.well : be:'proud of - ah ; institution" which
boasts of such skill as to produce a painting
like the one in question. The picture oc
cupied isix weeks in its execution, and was
painted,,, especially for the new Catholic
Church lately erected at Newton Grove, in

Whatever may be the state of tbe body
politic elsewhere, there is evidently a rev
olution going on here which bodes no good
to the Republican party, or at least to the
white leaders of ft, who are even now, as
far as this State is concerned, turning their
eyes upon the political horizon with fear
and trembling for their future prospects.
Heretofore in Tunning the Republican
schedule they have had things pretty much
their own way, which way has always led,
either directly or indirectly, to their own
political as well si pecuniary advancement,
while a pat on the back, as a sign of recog
nition of their invaluable services, has been
enough to satisfy the bulk of the voters
through whose instrumentality they suc
ceeded to power. "To the voters belong the
spoils," has" always been their motto, and
in nearly every case of Republican success
they (the white leaders of the party) have
considered themselves as preeminently the
" voters;" .while . their friends of the
colored persuasion were" regarded as
only the instruments for the accom
plishment of their purposes. The leading
colored people, whose eyes have been grad
ually opening to the true state of affairs for
some time past, ; have now become wide
awake on the question. As anj evidence
of this, it may be mentioned that- the col
ored leaders in this city have already organ
ized, havjog, a General CommiUee, together
with sub-Committees in each Ward, the ob
ject blngtp iema'!;lkiSiti an
equal recognrtion and represehtatipn in the

On motion of Alderman Herbert, :
' Resolved, That the sum of one thousand
dollars be' drawn from.' the City Treasury
out of moneys not otherwise!appropriated,
ioriureiieioi our uisiresseu leuow-ciuzeua
of Wilmington, N. C, and this sum, in ad
dition to other amounts collected, by sub--
scnptions in this city, be transmitted by
tne Mayor to Hanson nelly, Jfisq., Magis
trate pi Police, or Wilmington, JN. C.
On motion of Alderman White,
Resolved, That the letter received from
the citizens of Wilmington be published,
and that a Committee j of Council and of
citizens be appointed for the purpose of ob
taining subscriptions for: the relief of the
sufferers. The following committees were
appointed: y-t: li,y',;,.f.;-;
Aldermen Henry Herbert. Bourkc, Morel
and Morrison. Citizens John H. Ash,
James S. Bullock, James Marshal, William
T. Williams, John Hunter and William
Taylor.
Tbe cause which called for this act of
generosity on the part ' of ' our bid-time
friends of the city of Savannah, which is
not stated- in the" above extracts, was, as
will be remembered by some of our oldest
citizens,, the great fire which broke put here
in the early part of the month of December,
1SI9, arid which destroyed a large num1
ber of buildings, including " tbe ,old
rresbyteriao Church, i which stood ; on
Frnt, between Dock and Orange streets.
ine area oi tbe conflagration em
braced four entire squares, and, as well as
can be remembered, a part of the fifth.
The four squares alluded to comprised those
within the boundary of Market street on
the north, Orange street on the south, Sec-
ond street on the east and Water street on
the West. Among these were many of the
best residences in the city, including those
of the Bradleys, Harriss', Perrin's, &c. .
No Fees a Cbe Falr ; j
; We fear' that it is not generally enough
Understood that exhibitors at the Fair of
the Cape Fear Agricultural Association
commencing in this city on Tuesday of
next week are not to be charged any fees
whatever in connection therewith
Arrangements have also been made by
which articles and animals for exhibition
will be carried to the Fair by tbe various
railroad, steamship and steamboat com'
panies centering here and returned to tbe
owner after the Fair without any expense
to him. ' "- : ; r:lx !' '' ; .; '.
t t i - ;
A Master of Forage will be on the grounds
and furnish all live stock with comfortable
stalls or pens, also grain, hay, etc., free
of cost to the owner, and give personal at
tention the prompt delivery of animals at
the close of the Fair. ; . M , : . ! l.- ' '
Mr. T. C. DeRosset, the Secretary, is
now at his office on the Fair Grounds daily,
attending to the receipt and . arrangement
of goods for exhibition j and to him all ar
ticles and animals should be shipped.
Exhibitors at a distance who may be un
able to attend in person should ship their
goods to Mr. Jas. A. Willard, Superintend
ent, who will have them properly cared for,
exhibited and returned as directed! n 1 f
We have btenaware 6t some cause 'for
complaint in regard to the delays attending
the return of articles, ,or animals exhibited
in former years, and consequent injuries re
sulting thereto, but by the - appointment of
the above special officers and making it
their duty to attend personally to this mat
ter we trust and believe that ' the Associa
tion has made it entirely certain' that there
shall be no such cause for complaint here
after. We think exhibitors may now send
forward . articles and . animals; .with , entire
confidence of their return, in rood cqndi
tion. ;.v r - ; . - ; "
