Senators Rausoru and Williams are to accompany Senator Vance on his wedding trip to Louisville. Mr. Tilden says he considers Gar field and Arthur a very weak ticket. Tkecountry is gravitating that way. And now Jeems Blaine says he did not expect to be nominated "nohow." Wuiuitr what John. Sherman ex pected. Senator Vance says he does not see Low Congress can adjourn on the lGih. lie thinks tbe important busi ness cannot be atteuded to by Wed nesday. Conkling says he means to do his best to carry New York for Garfield. If liis brother in-law Horatio Seymour should be tbe man Lord Koscoe will hardly make "the greatest effort of his life." Gen. Grant has been interviewed atthe races. He says Seymour will be likely to be nominated. Ho said : "I have been backing against others singly, and I am almost ready to back him HgaiDgi the held at present. Gen. Hancock lias no show whatever, though of course he may wiD it. Seymour is perhaps their strocgest man." At West Point there were fifty graduates. There wero three cadet "found deficient," and they were all from the South. Among tbe fifty the highest Southerner stood 13tb. The fact is the South makes a very poor show. There was a field-day in the House on last Saturday when the Marshal's Wl was up for discussion. Cox, of New York, one of tbe wittiest and brightest of men, sat down on Robe son, Keifer and Conger. He got the laugh on them badly. Mr. A. M. Keiley is spoken of as tbe probable Democratic candidate for Congress in the Richmond (Va.) Dis trict. He is a man of excellent parts, writes and speaks admirably, and would carry fine culture into the Na tional House. He is an old editor.

We jire apt to forget ' how the weather of a past year was. We went over our files yesterday and ga thered the following as to the wea ther of last summer in Wilmington: June was decidedly, pleasant al through the month. The heat scarce ly got above 80 degrees any day. In July there were many hot days.. We note the hottest. It ranged aa follows: July 10, 95 degrees; 11, 95; 12, 91; 13, 103; 18, 90. The. hot Saturday, 13th, surpassed anything known in this city of increasing population. The other parts of the month the heat sometimes reached 83, but generally not more than 80 or 81 degrees. In August there was one hot term, beginning on the 7tb, 90 degrees; 8,94; 9, 93. Tbe next dayit fell to 67, when j fires and thick coats were in demand. Sep tember was a hot month. I Septem ber 2, 81; 3, 83; 4, 84; 5, 88; 6, 86; 7, 81; 9, 84; 1779; 18, 83; 19, 81. "Bildad," of the. Richmond State, thus refers to the discussion in the Senate between Hill and the two South Carolina Senators: "Hill reviewed with marked ability tbe arguments of tbe South Carolina Senators against unsealing Kellogg, and roughly replied to their personal allusions to him recently., Although not ten feet distant from them be bellowed like a mad bull, so that his voice sounding in the corridors attracted people from without tbe chfmber. "Hampton replied with a coolness and dignity that was in striking contrast with Hill's bullying manner. In fact. Hill's manner was more offensive than bis lan guage. "Butler's blood rises quick and he does not hesitate to thrust through his enemy on the spot. His remarks were heated, keen and effective! Among: other things be said Hill was ever boasting that he had always been and always would be a Union man, but there were four years when be took care to say nothing about it." Wake Forest College set. the Uni versity an excellent example which we hope it will be careful to copy next year. It made no D. DV By the way, Trinity conferred the de gree upon but one minister and that too without his knowledge or con sent. Mr. i ates would never receive any degree which had to be sought after. He is not after that' kind. The Doctorate was a complete sur prise to him. The Stab has been in sisting for a long time that the con ferring of honorary degrees was be ing greatly overdone. It has insisted that the custom was more honored in the breach than in the observance. The Democratic National Con vention will be composed of 738 dele gates. Worth Carolina will have zu. Up to Friday last 644 had been elect ed. According to the New "York Herald they are as follows: "Tilden 185. Bayard 117. Hancock 84, Seymour 63, Thurman 67. Field 44, Hen dricks 37, Randolph 18 (in New Jersey), Chase 14 (in Maine), Morrison 8." Of Tilden's 185 only 12 are from the South. How is tbe old man to name tbe candidate with only 185 followers? The Illinois delegation will under no circumstances vote for Tilden. Democratic members of the Illinois delegation in Congress say that the State ticket nominated at Springfield is the strocgest in all respects that has over been put up by any party in Illinois, and- with a corresponding National tioket they say the State will be certain to go Democratic in No vember next. The Richmond State reminds the public that the editor of the Okolona States, in the South, and the Lemar's Sentinel man in tbe North, tbe two rabid est men in the country in cry ing for blood, have been horsewhip ped in their respective sections, and both took it quietly. As usual the loudest iu crying for blood proved tbe biggest cowards. Spirits Turpentine. Madison is for Jar vis. j :. Raleigh had seven deaths last week. Mrs. Col. Ed.

Raleigh Visitor: Mr. Moore, the steward at the Insane Asylum, set out 55,000 sweet potato slips during the dry spell, and says he used 6,000 gallons of water on them and has not lost more than 50 of that number. Dry weather is a good time to set out potato slips. Gastonia Gazette: Mr. J. C. Jenkins, son of our .townsman, Hon:D. A.

Chief of Police Brock thought from some expressions the unfor tunate man let fall that such was likely tbe case, and so wrote on the 10th instant to "the Sheriff of Warren county, N. J.," and on tbe 12th received a letter from Sheriff B. F. Howey to tbe following effect : "There is very little doubt that tbe party you speak of is the son of our townsman, ex-State Senator Wm. Silverthorn. I have handed him your letter and you will hear from him direct. Mr. 8. is a prominent and reliable citizen. I am not able to give you the young man's history, though you will doubtless receive it from his father, who is roach cast down, though very thank ful for your kindness and glad to hear tidings ol his lost son." Cbareb. Service aad tbe Heated Term. A corpulent friend of ours, returning from church during tbe hottest portion of the day on Sunday, arrived at the follow lowing conclusions, viz . "It is a tremen dous hot day ;" "services should be very short, or held at such hours as would allow tbe congregation to return to their homes previous to tbe hottest portion of the day, or there should be a well filled water cooler with ice water, or a freezer filled with ice cream in each pejr."

In fact, we heard a judge of such matters say Saturday that he would bet a new hat Wilmington had cot been so cleanly since tbe war. We are in formed by the officials at the City Hall that the quantity of disinfectants used thus far this summer has been largely in excess of any previous year within their knowledge. Lime and other deodorizers can be bad free of cost on application at tbe station house. Palae Alarm or Fire. The alarm of fire Sunday morning, just after services had commenced in the vari ous churches, was caused by the burning out of a foul chimney on tbe north side of Princess street, near the corner of Fourth The bell only struck a few taps, when it was stopped. The alarm did not go out from the City Hall, and the engines, though ready to proceed, did not leave their houses. The alarm created some little confusion in the churches, but it soon subsided . naeoale Iatelltsence, Tbe General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for the United.

SylvanuB Cobb thus writes in the "Boston Christian Freeman" : We would by no means recommend any kind of medicine which we did not know to be good particularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins low's Soothing tsjrup we can speak from knowl edge; in our own family it has proved a blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled with colic pains, quiet sleep, and its 'parents unbroken rest at night. Most parents can appreciate these blessings. Here is an article which works te perfection, and which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." And during the process of teething its value is incalculable. We have frequently heard mothers say they would not be without it from the birth of the child till It had finished with the teething siege, on any considera tion whatever.
