A cable from London says General Grant yesterday morning breakfasted with George W. Smaller, the well known journalist, and in the evening attended a dinner given in his honor bv the Reform Club, Earl Granville presiding. Hon. William E. Foster responded to the toast in honor of her Majesty, and in the course of his remarks referred to General Grant's public services, and to the amicable relations existing between England and the United States. He also paid a marked compliment to President Hayes npon his reuuion policy, which would end by making the United States what they were before the war, reunited. Grant dined to-day with the Prince of Wales, at Marlborough Honse, and at midnight he visited the office of the London limes. The Totterlne Republic. Paris, June 1 9. it is expected that the Senate will vole on the question of dissolution on Thursday.

A Defeat for the British Ministry. London, June 18. In the House of Lords to-night the government was again defeated on the burials bill. The Earl of Har rowby moved that where friends of a deceased person object to the Church of England service they may dispense with it, or substitute other service, even though the deceased is buried in a churchyard. The Duke of Richmond, Lord President of the Coupcil, said he would meet the mo tion with a decided negative, as it would operate very unjustly on the clergy. The motion, however, passed by 127 to 111. At the request of the Duke of Richmond the further con sideration of the bill was adjourned for a week to allow him to consult his colleagues. The government will probably withdraw the bill. It is to be noted that 11,345 clergymen re cently signed a protest against Lord narrowby s action. Hugo to Tennyson. M. Hugo has written the note translated below to Mr. Tennyson, in acknowledgment of the sonnet re cently printed : To Alfred Tennyson My Emi nent and Dear Brother: I read with emotion your superb verses, it is a reflex of glory which yon send me.

Spirits Turpentine. Raleigh has a shirt factory. Thanks to the Torchlight for its cordial praise. Wadesboro is anxious to get a first-class barber. And Raleigh, too, is glorying in its sweet ripe peaches. - Durham sent four pupils to Chapel Hill last session. The editors of the Charlotte Observer are revelling in luscious peaches. Ah, me. - Rev. T. T.

Robesonian : So far as we have been able to learn the wheat crop promises to be good this year. There is much more wheat grown in this county than we had supposed. President Battle cautions per sons attending the University normal school to buy return tickets, so they can return home free of charge. Females can attend. Text books free. Board $12 50 per month. Lincoln Progress: That portion of Gaston county lying between here and Dallas is infested with a great many mad dogs. A cow, bitten by one of them, made a violent charge upon a wagon and team a few days ago, but was soon dispatched by a rifle-gun. Conoord Register-. It is a fact not now generally known to our citizens that in a little less thau two miles from the corporate limits of Concord lies buried one of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declara tion of independence. We allude to Ben jamin rat ton. The pretty young ladies of Ox ford dress in a very summer style with a sheet thrown around them, and then the dear souls are called wax-works. It is a good thing that they are flesh and blood, and not sure enough wax, for it will be a melting time on the 24th if this weather continues. Greensboro Patriot: Maj. At kinson returned from Mt. Airy yesterday and reports a determined resolution bn the part of the people up there to do their part in the construction of the road. They are making an active canvass of the county and will carry the $50,000 appropriation on the 2nd of August. Hillsboro Recorder : The gene ral opinion is that while wheat is thin, it is finely headed, and free from all disease, and will approach an average crop. Oats have improved and will make a fair crop. - Hillsboro can exhibit what, perhaps. no other town in the State can : a tobacco patch within a hundred yards of the court bouse. Charlotte Observer: We were shown yesterday four lumps of gold which aggregateenne weight of eight ounces, and which were found in the pure state on the plantation of Mr. Jesse Smith erm an, near Troy, Montgomery county. Mr. Smither- man has a large amount of land on which quantities of gold may be found almost anywhere. Reidsville Times : The largest fish fry of the season was at the old Palmer pond yesterday. We do not know who is president of this association since Dr. Redd was impeached and deposed for malfea sance in office. We are gratified to be able to state that the early completion of the Methodist Church at this place is now considered a nxed fact. The Danbury Reporter tells of a little two-and-a-half years old child who strayed off and was only found after a night and day's search. When found it was asleep on the bank of a stream with its little feet in the water. Six showers had fall en upon the little wanderer, and its skin was wrinkled and crimped from the thorough wetting. It had not been more than a mile and a half from home. When last heard from the child was well, no serious conse quences attending its exposure. Asheville Citizen: Some days since, at a log-rolling on Spring Creek, right at the line which separates Haywood county from Madison, an altercation took place between a Mr. Frisby and Mr. Woody, which resulted in the death of the former. We have not the particulars. Both are citizens of Madison, but happened fa be a few feet in Haywood when the diffi culty occurred. This entire section has been visited with good rams, and as i consequence all vegetable creation is im proving. Much irreparable damage, how ever, naa been aone to some or the grow ing crops. The, humorous editor of the Tarboro Southerner thus describes that modern dance known as the "German," which he witnessed at the late University commencement: "it is a genteel cross be tween a cross roads quilting, Pitt county tater peeling and the Boston slide, with the squeezing feature amended and enlarged. First they couple off and elide up, bow, waltz off (not on their ear), gala run off, boys after them, catch up, waltz off, boys run, gals after them. Then they waltz. Gals all in a row, holding bands, boys winding between 'em, waltz vice versa, waltz; four chairs, wind through 'em. And then they waltz." Raleigh News: There is now a splendid fish-way over Powell's dam, on Catawba river. The example of the com missioners of Catawba county in this in stance should be followed by other coun ties. "One good turn deserves an other." After Hester has finished with Douglas, this shadow of a great name should tell all he knows about Hester, and give the latter a chance to finish his career where nature designed in the penitentiary. The Board of Directors for the Insti tution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind held a meeting last Thursday evening. An election of officers was gone into. All of Morning Star WILMINGTON, the old officers were elected with these ex ceptions: Miss Clara Hoy t, of Beaufort county, was elected Matron; miss came Wilson, of Raleigh, assistant matron; John Standford, colored, carpenter. Alamance Gleaner: We thought everybody was satisfied with Win stead. We have never heard the slightest com plaint of the management of his office. We very much doubt if his displacement will give us a better man in his stead. We saw, the other day, in Jfisquire W. a. Al bright's yard, in this village, an almond tree hanging with fruit, and also an Eng lish walnut tree that has borne fruit, but for some cause has none this year. Wheat is ripening rapidly and our people will this week and next be in the midst of harvest. The wheat crop is good, and the oat crop has much improved and will be better than was a few weeks ago expected. Oxford Torchlight : Floor is said to be falling. But it will rise again dough. Heavea lies about us in our face. Floating Paragraph. And the world lies about us when we grow old. "Caght in a Family Jar," is a very pretty little story in the Banner of Liberty. A great many Benedicts are caught in family jars down this way, too. A subscriber writes: I am not able to take your paper. Please stop it unless you can afford to send it free." Just as soon as we can make ar rangements to furnish a couple of chromos, a steel engraving, a sewing machine and a cook stove, we will send this paper iree to our friend. A few miles from Oxford, on the plantation of Mr. Wm. B. Crews, is undoubtedly a deposit of coal. The mine has never been fully investigated, but from sources of a perfectly reliable character, it has been ascertained beyond doubt, that there is a deposit of coal on Mr. Crews' place. Charlotte Observer: The chief feature of Sunday's services was the ser mon of Rev. S. Taylor Martin to the young ladies of the Institute, at the First Presby terian church, on Sunday night The con gregation was large; several of the other pastors gave up their services to oe present and hear the sermon. It is spoken of in the highest terms. On Sunday morn ing, June 17th, James Heineman, formerly a citizen of Charlotte, died at Winston, and the same evening his body was brought to Charlotte for interment in the Jewish cemetery, near the outskirts of the city. All of the fire companies hold meet ings to-night to complete arrangements for the annualfiremen's picnic. Maj. W. W. Flemming. Vice-President of the North Carolina Land Company, yesterday re ceived from the Commissioner of Awards at the Philadelphia Centennial a beautiful bronzed medal and a certificate, given to the company for the finest collection and greatest variety of commercial woods on exhibition. These woods were collected by Maj. Flemming and his father-in-law, Rev. Dr. Ralston, of Norristown, Pa., du ring a six weeks'' trip through Western North Carolina in the early part of last summer.

Nothing doing in magisterial circles yesterday. police or It looked somewhat lonesome about the Court House yesterday. We heard a remark made seve ral times, yesterday, to the effect that it was warm. A whiskey distillery will soon be supplying the "ardent" at Greenfield, near this city. We regret to hear that Messrs. Adam Empie and H. A. Burr, of this . city, are both very ill A change of some, importance has been made in ,the "Proposals" adver tisement of the city We learn that the night police have been so divided and arranged as to afford protection to all portions of the city Yesterday was the warmest day of the season thus far, the thermometer in this office, at 1 P. M., indicating fully 90 degrees. We are now in the midst of the longest days in the year. About the first of next week they will begin to grow shorter, The police, as they marohed to the head of the market to go on duty, yes terday evening, bore a much lighter com plexion than usual. Some of our State contempora ries are figuring on the "land problem,' with about the same result reached by our Wilmington mathematicians. Stationary or lower pressure, stationary temperature, variable winds, mostly from the west, partly cloudy wea ther and occasional showers, are the indi cations for this section to-day. Hon. Walter L. Steele dropped in and exchanged a few shots with us yes terday. The Colonel is noted tor his ad miration of fine guns, but we think he is growing a little gun-shy (a bad quality either in man or dog) since he was elected to Congress. He wears a slick stove-pipe hat, too. We shall watch the Colonel very closely now Off for the Penitentiary. The convicts sentenced at the late term of the Criminal Court, fifteen in number, will leave for Raleigh this morning in charge of a suitable guard. - C. M. Epps, convicted of perjury, but who appealed to the Supreme Court, will remain in jail, having made an affidavit in formapauperis. Hector Davis, convicted of assault with intent to commit rape, but who appealed to the Supreme Court, has, filed the necessary bonds and been dis charged. ' Daniel Odum, convicted of lar ceny, and who appealed, has also give the required bonds and been discharged. This leaves fifteen to go to the "pen.," as men tioned above. N. C, THURSDAY. The New Police Force, Health Offi cers, Janitors, Ace., Inducted Into Office. The newly elected members of the police force assembled at the City Court room yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. At the appointed hour Mayor Dawson requested Chief of Police Brock to call the roll of officers and privates of the force, when the necessary oath was administered to them, and they subsequently subscribed to the same in the Book of Record. Mayor Dawson then delivered a brief address to them, touching upon their vari ous duties and urging upon them a faith ful performance of the same. They all looked as if they were able to discharge their dnty, he said, and he should expect them to do it He alluded to the habit of arresting men who had been indulging in a little too much "oh-be-joyf ul," but were not boisterous or quarrelsome, and said that it was the duty of the police to contrive to get such to their homes by passing them from one beat to another. In the case of countrymen, wfio should happen on a little breeze while on one of their periodical visits to the city, they should see them to their boarding houses. Wherever a person should be caught raising a disturbance on the streets, however, or conducting himself in a boisterous and unseemly manner, cal culated to disturb the peace, he should be immediately arrested and taken to the guard house. He cautioned the force to be careful how they used their clubs. If a prisoner should prove obstreperous or diffi cult to manage the proper assistance should be summoned. It would be rarely indeed, and then only in the most extreme emer gencies, that a resort to the club would be necessary in the management of a prisoner. He called the particular attention of the force to the matters of house-breaking, stealing, &c, and urged the exercise of the utmost vigilance in order to prevent these crimes or to detect the perpetrators of them. He should hold them to a strict accountability in this particular, and in every instance where a robbery oc curred the matter would be closely scruti nized and investigated, and if it should ap pear that it was due to any neglect or in attention on the part of any member of the force, the offender would be immediately suspended from duty. Telling those who had not been elected that they could go to their homes and conduct themselves as pri vate citizens, he announced that twenty five of the force would be set apart for night duty and ten for day duty. The Janitors, Health Officers, &c, were then inducted into office and received the requisite instructions, the Health Officers being urged particularly to look carefully after matters pertaining to the cleanliness and good health of the city. The officers of the police force, as now constituted, are Capt. Cowan, in charge of the day division ; Capt, Fitzgerald, in charge of the night division; and Sergeants Forrest, Savage and Taylor. - The Great Chicken Dupnio at Nor folk North Carolina Holds Her Own Alamance and Nash to the Front. We have just had an interview with a gentleman of this city who was present at the great "chicken dispute" at Norfolk du ring the past week. The various contes tants appeared on the grounds on Tuesday, with thirty-one cocks to the side. The fight had been proposed by Virginia against North Carolina, and it had been the under standing with the latter that they were to fight Virginia cocks. The Noith Caro linians were somewhat surprised, therefore, when they found that there were no Vir ginia cocks on the ground, but that they had to contend with . Washington cocks, composed of the celebrated Esling breed, red, with blackbreasts, and the no less famous breed of "Red Quills." Nothing daunted, however, North Carolina insisted that the matching should proceed, and out of the thirty-one to the side the con testants matched twenty-two each. There was one fight on Tuesday, which was won by Washington. On Wednesday there were seven fights, on Thursday seven, and on Friday seven, making twenty-two in all. On Thursday morning Washington was three ahead of North Carolina, but during the day the latter won five out of the seven fights, leaving Washington but one ahead. On Friday North Carolina fully recovered her losses, the contest end ing Friday evening with a draw main, North Carolina, as represented by the justly celebrated cocks of Holt, of Alamance, and Arrington, of Nash, coming out of the fight with flying colors, inasmuch as the North Carolina cocks, without an excep tion, stood their ground and were game to the last, while four of the Washingtons, composed of both "Eslings" and "Red Quills," ran away. Our informant states that the contest was a very interesting and exciting one, and that Arrington and Holt came out of it with new laurels for their famous North Carolina chickens. Commissioners of Navigation and Pi lotage, When the new Board of Commissioners of Navigation and Pilotage goes into office, it will stand as follows: J. H. Chad bourn, James Sprunt, D. MacRae, H. B. Eilers, D. G. Worth, W. J. Potter, M. C. Guthrie the two latter for Smithville. The old Board goes out of office on the 1st of July, which is on Sunday, and the new Board will probably qualify on the following Mon day and elect a Harbor Master, &c. Lead, Bismuth and Zinc are immensely useful in the industrial arts; and as im mensely injurious when applied to the skin to beautify it or to remove Pimples, Blot ches, etc., from it. Dr. Bull's Blood Mix ture is the great purifying agent of the blood, giving clearness of complexion and removing Pimples, etc. f JUNE 21. 1877. More Indian Kellcs. Mr. J. S. Melvin, of Brunswick county, while engaged in ploughing on his planta tion a few days ago, unearthed an Indian calumet or pipe, also used by the aborigines as a sign of peace. It is of large size, made of clay and with a double bowl, being in a remarkably good state of preservation. About. the same time he also brought to the surface an Indian spear, about four inches in length, made of flint rock, with two conchs, which were buried by its side. The calumet, which is quite a curiosity in its way, being evidently a relit of a pre-his-toric age, can be seen at Mr. D. Pigott's store, on Market street. Thermometer Record. The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 4.35 yesterday evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city: Augusta, 93 Charleston,,. 90 Corsicana, 93 Galveston, 90 Indianola, 87 Jacksonville, . . . t .77 Key West 89 Montgomery,. ... .89 New Orleans, 82 Norfolk 75 PuntaRassa, 87 Savannah, 93 St. Marks ...93 Wilmington, 88 Mobile, The Shooting Club. We learn that there is a prospect of a match between the two teams of the Rifle Club, at their range on Eagle's Island, to take place at an early day, probably op the 4th of July.

Although years of experience in medicine had failed to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for this disease and its effects, such as Sour-Stomach,Heart-burn, Water-brash, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Liver Complaint, yet since the introduction of (sheen's August Flower we believe there is no case of Dyspepsia that cannot be immediately re lieved. Two doses will relieve you. Regular size to cents. DR. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC, and MANDRAKE PILLS. These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cores of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded, of ve getable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be Injurious to the human constitution. Other re in ediesadvertised as cures for Consumption, prob ably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all esses, and if taken freely by consump tive patients it must do great injury; for its tenden cy is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted to contain not a particle of opium: it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act en .the longs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus coirect all morbid se cretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. They are the only means by which Consump tion can be curea,and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way. it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Con sumption . Bach bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions .
