maintained Until the finish. . , . ,
j No accidents of note happened to any of
the yachts, and all were handled skillfully
and admirably. Almost up to the finish the
victory was in doubt, makiog it a race
indeed, and one well worth witnessing.

champion flag was given the Restless. Weji
prefer to havo some one else explain to the
anxious enquirers how .it was that such and
such a yacht got beaten, aud can assure
him that he has only to ask the information
of some, member of the crew to have every
thing satisfactorily explained.

Monday, the 5th, tbe dsy set apatt to be
celebrated io lieu of the "glorious 4th," did
not receive much attention at the bands of
Wilmingtoolsns, beyond the usual excur
sions on the river, boat racing at the Sound,
etc. There was a fine display of bunting
at the Signal Station, and tbe Revenue Cut
ter Colfax was also dressed out. very hand
somely. The colored people had a very
pleasant picnic at Hilton with music and
dancing, and the Cape Fear S. F. E. Com
pany, (colored), had a parade and engine
trial during the afternoon, which comprised
about all tbe noteworthy events of the dsy,
if may except the sending up of rockets
from private residences slight.
In Raleigb, Newbem and some other
pladea in the State the day was celebrated
in a style becoming the important occasion,
and apparently with as much zeal and pa
triotism as characterized its observance in
ante-bellum times. In Raleigh and New
bem, particularly, the programme was
quite attractive, including; grand pyrotech-4
nic displays at night. YY"
We see no reason why Wilmington should
fail to observe the day in a proper spirit,
and we hope she may resolve upon a "pro
gramme" for the next anniversary of our
national independence.

There can be no doubt as to the capacity j
of much of the soil around Wilmington for
producing vegetables of the finest quality.
CVe can remember very' well that fen to
fifteen years ago it was a rarity to see any
cabbages in this market except those of
Northern production. Now, it is no un
common thing to see a bead of native cab
bage weighing 20 pounds. So of tomatoes.
There were some in market yesterday of
the "Acme" variety, raised by Mr. Gerritt
Walker, on Middle Sound, that were cer
tainly not misnamed. We have never saen
any tomatoes that - surpassed them, in
smoothness of surface, solidity, and rich
ness of color. :
. We mention these facts for tbe encourage
ment of those engaged in the cultivation of j
vegetables, and wish to impress on them
the important idea that Jt is quality more
than anything else that makes truck farm
ing pay.

I About nine o'clock the.. cDmocralie flag
was hoisted on a pole of 80 feet,, bearing lp

and Congressional tickets? At the 'same

Which was kept up air day. -j
At 11 o'clock th Academy wss packed

and explained the Several declarations,
which were well received by tbe audience .
' The orator, Mr. George W. Ramsey, was
next introduced, who came forward amid
thunders of applause, and for about ,thirty
minutes spoke of the heroic deeds of our
forefathers, and urged upon us all the ne
cessity of perpetuating their memory, and
how we should celebrate this our natal day.
Everybody was much pleased with Mr.
Ramsey's effort. At the conclusion of Mr.
Ramsey's address it was snnounced that we
would have dinner, and at 2 P. M. we
would reassemble to hear our Governor
piake his first political address since bis
nomination.
At the appointed JbLouLa lioter crowd, if
possible, wss present Republicans and
Democrats all anxious to' see their Go
vernor and shake his hand, .and to hear .
him speak; especially did they want to hear
him on the bale of the Western 'North
Carolina Railroad . Well, Mr. .Editor, I.
wish you and your people had been there.
After being introduced by Dr. Satchwell,
In a few. very flattering ., remarks, the
Governor made one Of the happiest speeches
of his life. Ha satisfied evary one here as
to hia action in the Western North Carolina
Railroad matter, and be really converted
many Republicans, who spoke of him as one
of the leading men of North Carolina. :
We alt feel very much encouraged and
f eei highly complimented at the : Governor
making his firBt visit here after his nomina
tion. I am also equally Satisfied that he
felt gratified at the fiae impression he msde
here with all classes and conditions of peo
ple. I think I can truthfully say that Pen
der county will give Gov. Jarvis a majority
m November next, judging' frdtn expres
sions and assertions of many Republicans.
I hope you will have him with.you sb6rt
ly, and I am satified he will 'convince you
as to the. plausibility of his actions in con
nection with the W. N. C Railroad. When
be does come let us alt know, so that we i
can near mm again.
t After the Governor's address Mr. John

happy style excused himself, promising us
during the canvass to be with us, which we
will not forget, , '; "

devoted her time and talenta as a Female Physician

especially studied the constitution and wants of this
numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and
practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime spent as
nurse and physician, she has compounded a Boota

a. benefactor of the race; children certainly do bibb
or and btees her; especially is this the case in this
