She had been sick but a few days when the death of her dau Bhter MrB Annie Keeling Rob- aaugnier, airs.

A large, warm hearted, intelligent Christian woman has died.

Mr. George Ticknor Curtis, a lead- J New York lawyer, has taken I mg strong ground against Judge Black's j position on the railroad question. He I writes to President Jewett, of the Erie Kalroad : "ft is new doctrine to me, lhat property, ...K mmmA wSth tha nrivalA f n r(n nf A r.nr- Oration, becomes public property because that corporation is a common carrier, or because the State has. for reasons of public benefit, authorized the corporation to ac- quire lands, by an exercise of Uie Power of eminent domain, paying therefor a just compensation. The fundamental question .whether the Judgeas roads are public highways, and that tbe property in tbem is public property, Is true. Judge Black is always logical; an d:, if his premises are sound, I should assent to his bis inferences in regard to the right of tbe State to control the use of its own property. But I deny hia premises, and, consequently, I reject bis conclusions;1 Judge Black is of counsel for the Chamber of Commerce.

Under the new management tbe picayune policy which once made the Carolina Central a laughing stock has been abandoned, and every effort that liberality and sound judgment can suggest is being tried to make this great commercial artery of Wilmington noi only a source of profit to its owners, but a real and substantial benefit and convenience to the people who support it.

There having been considerable talk about the way the late election was con ducted in three of the precincts of the city. where the colored vote is largely predomi nant, we have been furnished with the fol- lowing certificates from the Republican poll-holders in two of these precincts, the . signers being respectable and prominent memberfl of lhat part wfao desire tQ teg. . thafafrnOBa anr.nA ir tify to the fairness, alacrity and impartiality displayed by their fellow poll-holders of a different political faith from their own at the election alluded to : "We. the undersigned Republican Iosd&c tors of the Upper Division of the First Ward, in the city of Wilmington, having: noticed in the Post, under the head of 'Black Mark' the name of O.

The Tnaliang gave another of their plea8icg performances at the Tilealon Upper Room last night, the first iu several months, and as has been the case hereto fore the audience was very large and was alsouost agreeably entertained. The piece produced was entitled "Down by the Sda," and is quite a cleverly written two-act play, well suited to the capabilities of the club. Of course those taking part in the performance were not professionals, and perfection in the conception and portrayal of tbe different characters was not to be expected, but still the excellent manner in which some of the roles were sustained was indeed surprising. Messrs. Scboowald and Alderman and Mrs. VonGlabn were all exceptionally satisfactory, the last having been deservedly always a favoiite with the audiences since the first organiza tion of tbe company. Among tbe gentle" men Messrs. George R. Dyer nnd R. H. Grant bore off the honors, though Messrs. Muse and Davis made tbe best of the small opoprtuDity accorded tbem. Mr. L. T. Bowden was peculiarly fitted to enact the part he essayed, and ac quitted himself very creditably, while Mr. J. D. Von Glahn, though nothappily caste, acted very satisfactorily. Mr. Grant's splendid voice and fine elocutionary powers place him in a position to excel with a little care and study, and be seems already to have much improved since bis first appear ance.
