Efforts on (be Frontier to Precipitate
War Between the United States
and Mexico An Immediate Conflict
Feared, &e.
St. Louis, November 11.
Late advices from El Paso say it is
now believed that there were a num
ber of emissaries of Lerdoin the band
of Mexicans which crossed the Rio
Grande about two weeks ago, and
had a fight with the Indians on Texas
soil, while ostensibly following In
dians. There teams to be no doubt
that the real object of these Lerdoists
is to stir up a new revolution, and, if
possible, overthrow Diaz. This band
of Mexicans have not left yet, and
are intriguing and doing everything
in their power to precipitate war be
tween the United States and the Diaz
government, in the hope of over
throwing the flatter and gaining
power for themselves. It is said
Lerdo's agents are very active al
along the Rio Grande, and are all
so plotting within the army of Diaz.

tary. .

The endowment of Wake Forest
College being under consideration,
Rev. R. 11. Marsh was introduced
He spoke at length. .,'
Itev. L. laylor was the next
speaker. He came to this Conven
tion with one idea, and had not been
able to get rid of it, and that was,
how are the. 450 Baptist churches
that had never done anything to be
reached. It seemed to him it could
only be done by the education of the
ministry. There was only about one
ninth of the preachers of the denomi
nation here; why was it so? They
were not interested in the work of
the Convention. Some of these were
the brightest stars in the Baptist
firmament. Educated mind rules .the
world. What is educated mind ?
Education could not make a wise
man out of a fool. It did not make
a man proud. The more a man was
educated the more he felt he did not
know anything. Head culture could
not take the place of heart culture;
neither could education take a man
to heaven. The boys at Wake Forest
-College always felt like his younger
brothers, and the Professors tried to
send them out better men than when
they came. The thing for us to do
was to get the 450 churches to either
say they were anti-missionary, or go
to work with us. We could have
forty young men preparing for- the
ministry at the College if the breth
ren wanted them. We could endow
the College between this and Christ
mas if we would go to work with a
spirit of devotion.

In the article in relation to mar-

white couples, amounted to 190. There

school Statistics Population, &c.
The following is the result of the school
census, taken in accordance with therecent
act of the General Assembly, for School
Districts Nos. 1 and 2, Wilmington Town
ship:
School District No. 1, comprising that
portion of the city lying north of Market
street, contains the following number of
children between the ages of 6 and 21 years:
While children 446 males, 434 females.
Total 880. Colorpd children, 527 males,
607 females. Total, 1,134.
School District No. 2, comprising that
portion of the city lying south of Market
street, contains: White children, 364 males,
826 females. Total, 690. Colored children,
898 males, 401 females. Total,. 799. r
Total number of white male and female
children in the two Districts, 1,570. Total
number of colored male and female children
in the two Districts, 1,933.
By the kindness of the census takers,
Messrs. Samuel N. Cannon and Wm. M.
Hayes, they extended their labors to taking
the entire numerical population of the city,
from which we find that the total popula
tion f Wilmington is 15,865, of which
.5,930 are whites and 9,935 are colored, dis
tributed as follows:
North of Market street 3,735 whites and
7,862 colored.. Total, 11,597.
South of Market street 2,195 whites and
2,073 colored. Total, 4,268.
The slight disproportion between the
number of whites and colored south of.
Market street and the large disproportion
north of Market street, may be accounted
for by the fact that for the last seven or
eight years, at least, the colored population
bas been steadily concentrating north of
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad.large
numbers of them having purchased lots
and built houses in the outskirts of the
city in that direction.
Mayor's Court.
The only case before the Mayor's Court
yesterday morning was that of -Thomas
Smith, a seaman . He was arrested on
North Water street Monday night, about
12 o'clock, by police officer Waukken, for
acting in a very disorderly manner on the
streets. He resisted the officer, drawing a
dangerous looking knife, which he flourish
ed about considerably, and it finally became
necessary to summon five or six men to as
sist in taking him to the guard bouse,which
was no easy matter even then, as the pris
oner was a powerful man" and excited to
frenzy by the fiery stimulants in which he
had been indulging to a somewhat unlim
ited extent. He fought, kicked ind strug
gled all the way to the lock-up, and one
rather diminutive member of the force,
who attempted to seize him' by the foot,
was, by a simple back-action movement of.
the said pedal extremity, .. .which came in
violent contact'wilh the.diaphragm of the
said member, sent reeling into a corner of
the room.
The Mayor lectured the prisoner,' and
ordered him to pay a fine of $10, and to be
committed until paid.

Deer Driving A Sportsman's ' Varn."
The party of deer, drivers who went out
to the neighborhood of "Northeast" on
Thursday morning last, but found the wea
ther too moist for their purpose, passed the
day in a farm bouse by a hot fire, where
they swapped off "yarns" connected with
their past experiences in hunting, one of
which, told by the inimitable T. B.I who

several occasions, to say nothing of deer,
coons, 'possums, &c., during his somewhat
chequered career, we give for the benefit
of those who were so unfortunate as not te
be present at the recital. It was in Bruns
wick county some time ago, that a couple:
of neighbors went out to hunt hogs, bearing
but one gun between them, only one barrel
of which was loaded, and taking no ammu
nition. Suddenly, during their perambu
lations through the woods, tbey came upon
a large buck, when the man with the gun,
not being ahl to withstand tbetempUtionj
fired upon the ftulmal and brought him to
the ground. He then rushed forward to
give the finishing touch with his knife, when
the buck suddenly jumped to his feet and
made for his late assailant, . who took

tie men caned to HIS companion for help,
but he had nothing tp dispatch the deer with;
but the unloaded gun, and was not inclined
to use mat ior rear the bucfc .might get
loose before he could deal him a fatal blow
and do him some damage It was finally
decided that the man behind the tree should
hold on to the buck's horns until his com-'
panion could run home and gel an axe. The
latter left for that purpose, but on the way
he had to pass a certain shop, where he
found a party engaged in having a good
time and joined them, the result being that
he was soon so drunk that he forgot all
about his late companion and the serious
predicament be had left him in. Coming
to himself early the next morning, however,
he ran home, got the axe and hurried to
his friend's assistance. The latter, of course.
was highly indignant at the manner in
which he had been treated, but at the same
time gratified at the welcome though tardy
relief. He insisted, '.however, upon the
right (secured through much trouble and
tribulation) of giving the final blow
to the saucy, buc,k, who was just as
ready for a fight then as when he was first
wounded. He therefore got his companion
to take his place while he dispatched the
animal; but no sooner bad the latter got the
deer by the horns than his friend shoulder
ed the axe and walked off, telling the other
to hold on like a good fellow until be re
turned. This be took care not to do until
about dark, when he came back with the
axe and soon put a quietus to the buck, and
relieved his friend upon whom he had so
deftly "turned the tables."
