He still wears his monastic garb and

by all of the prominent officials in
Washington, and it is even said that
several hundred persons who are very
anxious to become "prominent offi

General is ran to death. No one in
this country wants office; they only
wish to see the President who is to

is anxious to go to the Senate, but
Garfield is neutral.
The Richmond State, in response

"Not necessarily. What is known aa

or 'Political Edjtor.' He simply

When "Drink" was played in New
Orleans, as we learn from the Times,
a very strong impression was made
upon many who witnessed it. It
says :
"If there is any attraction for this public
in a powerful play and an excellent dram
atic company to give it faithful and intelli
gent interpretation, lb i "Drink" is destin
ed to meet with a decided success. The
dialogue is terse and vigorous and to the
point. I lie see ues are true lo nature, and
though they are of ao order unfamiliar to
the higher classes of society, yet their
realism is so striking that nothing about
them appears exaggerated. Several times
during the progress of the play Sunday

realistic scene was being enacted, aud

from gettiug it is not stated. We give
the Washington talk as reported in

"They say that Hazen will be appointed

HIE OPERA ilO-CSK.
lied Antray."
The weather was somewhat inclement
last night and the audience was not so
large as on the previous night, but it was a
good one nevertheless. "Led Astray" is
less melodramatic than "Drink," and ins
deed does not belong to the same order. It
is a society play containing some highly
interesting scenes. The unities aie wcl
preserved, and all moves on to tne ap
pointed end with dramatic precision aud
cumulative) interest. The style of the play
is decidedly good, and the conversations
are sufficiently terse and animated. The
play is lively and amusing at limes, but it
is not continuously powerful. There is a
gradual rise of climaxes which afforded
Miss Eytinge some fine opportunities of
giving rare pathos and force to some of the-
scenes in her very striking personation of
Armand Ohandoce. The occasions for high
art were much better than those of the
first night, and she availed herself of them
as only a woman of superior abilities in the
domain of histrionic art could. There was
an admirable harmony and effect in her
performance as well as a quiet dignity and
grace, rising into fervid passion that was
quite electrical. The creation was impres
sive, and it was excellently sustained. This
is not the language of extravagance but of
sober criticism. We can understand now
why it is sbo could sustain herself so long
and so well before a New York audience
accustomed to the best acting. The drama
presented is not one of the highest emo
tions, but it is one of real interest, and the
catastrophe that threatens in the fourth act
ends in a happy denouement in the sixth
and last. The costumes of Mies Eytinge
were very elegant, and. riveted the eyes of
the ladies. Miss Egbert made a capital
Mathilda, a rollicking, sprightly, interesting
girl sure to fall in love sooner or later.
Mr. Searle did not have a character as well
adapted to his powers as the one the first
night, although he played well. Mr. Shields
achieved a decided success as Sector Plaeide
as did Mr. Montague as Baron Mount Oos-
lin. The other supports were &ood, and
we see no reason for changing our first
opinion that it is a company of unusual
good qualities and well men a success The
entertainment was engaging, aud those whe
failed to attend missed genuine enjoyment
and a true dramatic performance. We
shall be pleased to have this jomp my with
us again, and with Nick Bottom, the weav
er, we may say, "We wish you of more
acquaintance, good Master Cobweb."
Criminal court.
The following cases were disposed of
yesterday :
State vs. C. H. Grant, charged with dis

being an appeal from the City Court, was

State vs. David Bryant, charged with

In the case of the State va. W. H. Good
man, Captain of the police force, charged
with assault and battery, a motion by de
fendant that J. T. Edens be made prose
cutor was granted. Tho assault and bat
tery in this case is alleged to have been
committed by Mr. Goodman in arresting
Mr. Edens for backing his cart up to the
sidewalk on Market street for the sale of
maike table articles, in violation of a city
ordinance then in force. The court ad
journed before the evidence was all in, and
the case will be continued to-day.
Narrow Escape.
Monday evening, jqst after the whistle
had sounded for the night force to go on,
and the day force was being relieved, fire
was discovered in one of the sheds on the
Wilmington Compress company's wharves.
All hands rushed to the scene, and soon
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
which, owing to the promptness exercised
by all concerned, were confined to one bale.
The ehed contained about two or three
hundred bales, and the bale which took fire
was one of a row of about iwenly-fivo
which had been placed in a perpendicular
position. Upon investigation it was Qis-
overcd that the bale of cotton had been
saturated with kerosene oil and then fired,
the fire being therefore undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary.
Rlore Potato Irregularities.
We received from Messrs. G. Boney &
Son, yesterday, a Norton yam potato, 8i
inches in circumference and 4 ounces in
weight, which may be pronounced a per
feet "twistification." It is, as it were,
wound up into a ball, and it would be a
matter of impossibility to ascertain its
length with any degree of correctness with
out breaking the potato. The Messrs.
Boney pointedly remark that "it is the
largest potato to Hi site we have seen." It
grew on the farm of Mr. B. Fussell, Sr., near
Wallace, in open soil, not confined in any
way.
Remedy for Gnlckeu Cnolera.
The Kinston Journal gives the following,
which may be of service: "Mix spirits of

Journal, "had a drove of one hundred
turkeys, and the cholera was sweeping
them away, having killed twenty-five, when
she followed ibis remedy, and not another
one died."

Whit 1881 Promisee.
The year 1881 promises some points of
interest lo astronomers. To say nothing of
sundry comets, there will be two eclipses
of the Bun and two of the moon during the
year, and on November 6th there will be a
transit of Mercury. The planet Saturn
will also be so improved in position that a
fair study of the rings can be made. At
the present lime the planet presents, in the
telescope, a magnificent spectacle. The
space between the rings is faintly visible
with a power of 250 diameters.
RIVER AND MARINE.

cessary repairs to her machinery.
The steamship Benefactor, Capt. Jones,
which has been laid up in New' York for
some weeks past for repairs, put in her ap
pearance again yesterday in much better
trim than formerly.
The brig Eugene Hale, Capt. Lord,
from Navas3S; the schooner Ada E. Snow,
Capt. Thorndike, from Navassa, schooner
IKomas R. POtibury, Capt. Pitcher, from
Navassa; British brig Busy Bee, Capt. Gra
ham, and the Norwegian barque Arctic,
with about seven or eight other vessels,
mostly square-riggers, were reported in
below yesterday, the southerly breeze of
the past day or two having brought them in.
We have omitted to mention a matter
of some moment in steamboating circles,
and that is the recent resignation of Capt.
Garrason, of tho steamer D. Murchison,
whose long and faithful services on the
river had endeared him to his employers and
won him a host of friends. He gives up
his position, we learn, to engage in other
business. He is succeeded in command of
the steamer by Capt. Jerre Roberts, of
Fayetteville, a gentleman of experience,
and who, about twenty-five years ago, was
one of a firm who run on the river, between
this city and Fayetteville, what was known
as the Frank & Jerre Line of steamers, be
ing called after the brothers, Frank and
Jerre Roberts.
