Bogardua, the "shootiat," is to be in Richmond to-day. Since we read of what Dr. Carver and that oiher fellow could do with the rifle we have lost our interest in Bogar .dus. We do refer to the celebrated "Bogardas boot," for editors' offices. The New York Herald calls Ire land the "Niobe of Nations." This s pretty, but picture Niobe swinging shillalah to the tune of "Wearing of the Green." One Byron, now forgotten by the Herald, said the time thing about another people some sixty years ago or more. Senator Don Cameron has been tendered the Secretaryship of War. He declined "with thank?," prefer ring to remain in the Senate. What has Don ever done to prove he is a man of ability? He and old Ananias, his father, have been able to run the Pennsylvania machine, but what else has Don done that showed smartoes even, much less high ability? It will be a relief to star-gazers zud persons given to seeing double, to learn that a number of astrono mers declare that there is no imme diate prospect of strange sights in the heavens. Persons of uneasy consciences, who are afraid of being alone, will be glad to learn that an early ending of the world is not looked for by men of a scientific turn. If we may trust the Washington papers, the coming theatrical star is Miss Elanor Calhoun, a grand daugh ter of the great John C. Calhoun. She won a splendid triumph in Wash ington last week. The Herald said : "But there U, aboYa all, about Miss Cal houn that spell of youth and freshness that must captivate even the jaded theatre-goer and make him know what enthusiasm means once more. There is a young girl who has come to us out of the West, though with the credential of an old South Caro lina name, and we think we may fairly say that she has taken the town by storm.

Tbe Washington correspondent of the Ilaleigb Neu-Oberver thus refers to some forlorn victims of the exodus fever: A dozen Noiib Carolina pilgrims, headed by oue David Hargrave, recently appeared in out s reels, returning to their home near Macon, Warien county, penniless, almost hire of clothing, friendless and utterly for lorn. Both of the men and also the two women of the tattered group - had taken tbe word of a broiber-in-law of one or tuem and "gone west" to Butler county, Ohio, last March, in the expectation of finding there a Buck-eye paradise. Instead they soon discovered that there was little chance for such as they in that bustling, pushing, self seeking Yankee community, and set out to return to native land, aban doned homes and only friends. When they reached hete their eight children were cry ing for bread, and they had not even a stone to give them. Goldsboro Messenger The At lantic & North Carolina Railroad Compa ny announces its readiness to pay off all of its interest accruing on tbe tint day of January. It is a good sign when such eminent physicians as Dr. & 8. Satchwell come to the conclusion that they have not yet attained perfection io their profession, and that there is still room for improve menu He left for New York last week for tbe purpose of attending a full course of medical lectures at tbe Medical University. We have no further news concerning tbe new Midland Railroad Company. There appears to be no doubt that Mr. Best has formed a new syndicate and relies upon the Midland charter to carry bis projects to success. What this project is remains to be seen. Those interested in tbe new scheme preserve a considerable degree of reticence in tbe matter, but there seems to be a tacit understanding that the first ob ject aimed at is to get possession of the At lantic ik North Carolina Railroad. Greensboro State: On Wednes day night, the 5th insL. tbe store of Mr. James M. Sutton, located at Gibonsville, in Guilford county, was entirely destroyed by fire, together with all its contents, con sisting of a general variety of goods. The fire was discovered about 11 o'clock, at night, and when discovered the flames bad made such progress that it was impossible to save any of the stock. Tbe two young men one of whom was me son or toe pro prietorbad some trouble to make their escape. Tbe latest report from Ra leigh is that Buford and Best have fallen out, and that Best has put him self beyond communication, taking with him all tbe books of tbe company.

Charlotte Observer : The stock holders of the Odell Manufacturing Com pany have decided to put in about $7,000 worth of new machinery, such as cards, &c. Tbe company's new machinery and buildings have cost them, since tbey com menced operations in July; 1877, $45,428. .Tbe new county of "Durham will probably go through. It takes off portions of Orange, Wake and Granville, and starts with over fourteen thousand population, WILMINGTON, three thousand more than tbe exaction of tbe law. There promises to be a weak fight against it. Orange county is not agreea ble, but Major Graham informs me that there will be no great opposition. It takes off tbe New Light township from Wake, the only live nest of . Democracy she bad and for this some of ber peo ple are warmly opposed to it. The announcement of Mr. Best's en terprising and magnificent schemes for in ternal improvement made in this issue of the Otarvsr would gladden with hope and stir to their depths all patriotic hearts, were it not for a most unfortunate . suspicion of their insincerity. His scheme to build a railroad from Goldsboro to Charlotte or Salisbury is entirely too stupendous. Mr; Wm. A. Waterhouse, of the Augusta (Maine) Standard, favored the Observer with a call yesterday. He is down South for the first time and thinks of settling somewhere on tbe Alr-Line road. He does not think that tbe Maine liquor law is a success and says that it has been used there for corrupt political purposes. He thinks North Caro lina would not do well to emulate Maine's example.

The school tax goes to tbe county not to the State; hence we said nothing about it. The Slate tax was under consideration. Organization or a Brtncb of tne JrUh Una ttsiae.

N. C WEDNESDAY. BOA It U OF ALDBftitlBIf. Abstract of Proceeding; In Called session. Tbe Board of Aldermen met in called session at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. All the members of the Board were present. Tbe Mayor stated that he had called this meeting for tho purpose of giving the City Attorney power to draw deeds for property sold for city taxes, and also.to receive a communication from the Board of Audit and Finance relative to the market ques tion. Alderman Myers, Chairman of tbe Com mittee on Ordinances.offered an Ordinance, which was adopted, empowering the City Attorney to make the necessary deeds of conveyance to the city for all real estate sold by him for the non-payment of taxes, and upon, which the said taxes are still due and unpaid, and making provision for tbe redemption of the said properly within two years from the 1st of January, 1881. A communication from tbe&Board of Au. dit and Finance, disapproving the contract with the Wilmington Market Company, was read, as also the opinion of tbe City Attorney pronouncing the contract illegal. The Board of Audit and Finance, in their communication to the Board of Al dermen, say : "We return herewith the contract with the Market Company referred to this Board for approval. It is returned without such approval, as we believe' it to be illegal. We are opposed to tbe mode and manner pro posed.of paying for the markets. We do not think it right or legal to barter away for a term of eighteen years an unknown portion of the city revenue for tbe purpose named in said contract, and especially when. the barter iscoupled with conditions that will seriously interfere with tbe privi leges of the citizens of Wilmington not only venders of fresh meats, but commis sion men and grocers. Tbe conditions 'of tbe sale of the property to the city are, that all revenues derived, from the rents of stalls, license taxes of butchers, and other dealers in perishables, as well as fees for weighing beef cattle, for a term of eighteen years shall be collected and retained by the Market Company; and for the purpose of enlarging this fund, ordinances are to be passed and rigidly enforced, prohibiting the sale of all marketable articles and per ishable articles within four blocks in any direction from the market house named. The more strictly these oppressive laws are enforced to tbe inconvenience of many merchants and citizens, the larger the sum paid by the city for the propeity. Desiring to have legal information in a matter of so much importance to a tax paying commu nity, we sought and obtained tbe opinion of the city attorney, which is berewith en closed. If, as be believes, this contract canuot be legally entered into, and it should be so decided by tbe courts, there is no provision made for the return to tbe city of any of the revenue collected by the Market Company, or their successors, or the pay ment of any city taxes during its undisputed continuance." Alderman Divine offered tbe following, which was adopted: Retolved, That the facts set forth in the objections to the market contract by the Board of Audit and Finance are not suffi cieut to lead this Board to change its action in the matter. Alderman Myers moved that tbe Board of Aldermen ratify its action as taken at the regular meeting of December 6th, 1880, in accepting the contract with the Wilming ton Maiket Company. The motion was carried, Aldermen Bowdeo and VonGlabn voting in the negative. Aiderman Foster moved that the old market house be sold to Jos. Stern berger, at his bid of one hundred and thirty dol lars, tralesa a more favorable bid be re ceived by the Mayor, chairman of the com mittee on Finance, by 12 o'clock M. to-day (January 19th, 1880). The motion was carried, Aldermen Bowden and VonGlabn again voting in the negative. Alderman Myers offered a series of ordi nances establishing the new market bouses and regulating tbe sale of meats, fish, vege tables, etc., which were adopted, and the Board adjourned. Exporta of Bosln.

Hill, who was so badly injured in the steam saw and planing mills in that place on Saturday evening last, and that no hopes were entertained of; his recovery. Kev. C. M. Payne, of Ibe Second Presby terian church, Mr. John Cdlville and a number of lady friends of the family went up on the regular train yesterday morning. Further telegrams, as well as a gentleman friend, who arrived here on tbe 350 train yesterday afternoon, confirmed the sad in telligence and left no room to hope for any but tbe worst results. P. S. Since the above was in type we regret to learn that Mr.' Hill died at 7J o'clock P. M. on yesterday. It is under stood that his remains will be brought to Wilmington for interment.

A Hanging Postponed. Jim Black, the colored man who was arrested by Officer Simon Richardson, in this city, some months ago, on tbe charge of murder in Marion county, South Caro lina, and who was subsequently tried, con victed and sentenced to be hanged on tbe 10th of December last, is still "in the land of the living and on praying ground." It seems that the Governor afterwards re spited him to Friday last, January 14th, and all the preparations had been made to carry out the law, religious services having been held, and his mother and sister having bid him good-bye and left him, not expect ing to see him again, when a telegram was received from Gov. Hagood again respiting him until the 18th of March, in conse quence of some clerical errors in the papers, It is thought be will certainly swing next time. He killed a man named Eli Wilcox during a quarrel, shooting him with a pistol, on tbe 9th of February, 1880. Historical and Bclcntlne Socle?. Dr. Thos. F. Wood will deliver his promised lecture before the New Hanover County Historical and Scientific Society, in this city, on next Monday evening, the 24th inst.

At a meeting of the Board of Magistrates of Pen der County, held at Burgaw on the 10th instant, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, since our last meeting, by the inscruta ble wisdom of our God, our friend and companion, DAWSON T. DURHAM, a most useful and hon ored member of this Board, has been removed from oar midst, therefore. Resolved, That while we bow in humble submis sion to the omniscient will of Him who doeth all things well, we cannot but deplore, with deep and abiding grief, the mournful void of a loved and trusted friend, whose spirit of truth and soul of worth and noble, generous life have enshrined him forever in the livliest affection of the heart.

A MILLION OF DOLLARS AS A NEW YEAR DONATION. The New Year opens brightly in a business outlook (taking reports from all points into consideration), and it suggests to the reader many reasons for. thanksgiving none greater at this time than the return of general prosperity to the Southern States and it causes every one to recollect that the existence of that great monument of philanthrophy, Thk Chabttt Hospital of New Orleans, was due to the $1,000,000, secured by the wise action of the authorities of Louisiana, from the bonus paid by the Louisiana State Lottery, The affairs of the lottery will be explained by writing to M.

WINSLOW t As this question -is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untiringly devoted her time and talents as a Female Physician and nurse, principally among children. She has 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 Sooth ing Syrup for children teething. It operates like magic giving rest and health, and is moreover sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this ar ticle Mrs. Winslow is becoming world renowned as a benefactor of the race; children certainly do bis up and bless her; especially la this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has immortalized her name by this Invaluable arti cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of children have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits, and unite in calling ber blessed. No mo ther has discharged her duty to her suffering little one, In oar opinion, until she has given It the bene fit of Mra. Winslow'a Soothing Syrup. Try lt, mo thers tkt it now. Ladies' Visitor.
