ExrPostm aster . General Key, the
Tennessee TRadical in'ltayes'g Fraud
lent r Cabinet is out i in defence of
Tyner and Brady for tteir corruption
in office. He says they are entirely
honest, etc. i This moves the Phila
delphia Prtsiy Radical organ, to rub
Jtfr. Key down after this style :
" It may be that the time is near at hand
when the general estimate of Judge Key
will have tone revised, - He has been looked
upon as a man of 'more good fortune than
ability, He, had the luck to be ah available
erring brother at a time when President
Mayes was looking for something of that
kind for a Cabinet fixture. Before Presi
dent Hayes retired he, was good enough to
settle Judge Key In a comfortable district
iudffeshh). which he wfll enlov during life
or good behavior. This is about all there
is of Judcre Kev. exceDt that he has been
given credit for that kind of honesty which
keeps a man's hands out of temptation, but
is not sufficiently severe to look sharply into
the wrongful gains of other people at the
cost of a personal risk."
Captain James Barron Hope, edi
tor of, ths Norfolk . Landmark, has
been invited by two hundred and
thirty-four persons to recite his fine
Centennial poem, extracts from
which have appeared in the Star, in
that city. This is very commend
able. Virginians know how to ap
preciate their men of gifts. Mr.
Hope has written many verses that
may be classified as poetry no un
meaning compliment.
Connecticut has a Sunday law
which forbids any one to take a plea
sure ride on the Lord's Day. Rev.
T)r. Leonard Bacon took a sick child
to ride, and lie is in Hot water. The
gravamen of the charge against him
is that he has-construed most rigidly
the law when applied to others. But
the tyranny of such an iron-bound
law is intolerable. Connecticut beats
fhe world in the absurd stringency of
its laws.
A Miss Talbert, living at Alexan
dra, Va., was accosted by a man
named Richard Cowling, and an in
sulting proposal made to her. She
made no reply but afterwards invited
him by note to call to see her. He
put on his best "store clothes" and
went. She admitted him, knocked
him down with a rock, clubbed him
severely and then allowed him to es
cape as best he could. Excellent!

This is the most brutal business the

The "Washington Post criticizes
very sharply Mr.Thomas W. Keene's
Richard III. It says:
"In the tent scene he was violent, with
out giving the impressive and solemn cha
racter which the supernatural element and
the fine lines demanded. Mr. Keene's faults
are those of the school which he represents,
and if the public chooses to applaud such in
terpretations of Shakespeare, inteligent ac
tors will continue to sacrifice artistic coa
ception to popular demand."

Extracts from the Diary of a Wllmlng
tonlafl lm 1862.
., , There are doubtless many in our midst
to-day who often recall the dark hours of
1862, when, the shadow of death rested so
long over our 'devoted city, and so many
were5 called upon to pass through the "dark
Valley;" when hundreds were fleeing to
places - of : refuge from the-Tscourge, ; and
those who were; compelled; to stay at home,
or thpse noble, ones ,JJbo, 4 yoluntarily re
mained behind to minister to . the sick and
dying,' were in daily ' and ' hourly expecta
tion of f olio wing : those ' who had gone be
fore to 1 the!'sileatubournej,"i and, as the
time: for cold weather , ! approached, how,
with anxious ejes aud trembling hearts, the
survivors and; "stay-at-homes" looked for
the welcome frost and ice that should ban
ish the i terriblb plague from their midst.
To such, and perhaps others, the following
extracts, copied from the diary of a gentle
man who remained at home, or at least re
turned at an early stage of the disease, and
suffered from its fearful ravages, will like
ly prove of interest :
October 1.- Arrived'at Warsaw ih time
to find the"d6Wntiraln- passed at 2 P. M.
Compelled to remain for the night. I am
graciously informed that the hotel (so-called)
is closed, that is, against those who had
1 1, . A.1 i .
t-uuic num uie yeiiow lever bccuuq, or to
return thereto. I was on the return 'twas
all in vain. I urged the hard-hearted
landlord would not open his doors nor his
heart; so I found lodging in the cars. . As
I had my lunch Cousin C. prepared I did
not suffer from hunger, but rested uncom
fortably. Daylight came, and at 6 o'clock
President S. D. Wallace came on board
and we were soon on our way to . Wilming
ton; arrived at 11 o'clock; went down Front
street from the depot; did not meet nor see
but one white face until reaching Lippitt's
corner. The drug store and one grocery
store doing all the business; houses closed:;
stores , all closed ; market, house deserted ;
Wilmington deserted ; no business ; no noise
nor bustle; more quiet than Sunday; more
sad than the cemetery; here and there one
passing for relief;' coffins carried on the
heads of negroes; wagons carrying the
dead to their last resting-place without &
follower; railroad men all scared away and
gone; Fayetteville boats .afraid to come
nearer town than the reach behind Point
Peter; everybody that could go has gone;
we are completely out of the world and cut
off; not a country cart will come to town
now and we are needing food. In response
to the call by the city Capt. Drane has dis
tributed a load of supplies of meat and
provisions from the Government stores.
The fever continues to- increase. The
weather is warm, which is conducive to its
increase. The sanitary committee are over
worked of their number Col. John Mc
Rae and P. W. Fanning are sick. .We
have five doctors and some thirty nurses
and Sisters of Mercy from Charleston, but
not enough for all the demands of the sick.
Medicines are getting scarce. The Confed
erate Medical Purveyor has fled and no one
can find the key of the storehouse on Dock
street. Money is Worthless and you cannot
buy anything; the . W. & W. R. R is not
taking freight. The newspapers are no
guide as to the number of deaths ; they say
little about the fever, but it is bad. In the
sun it is quite warm jnd oppressive. The
days are bright" arid sunny.
October d.-M3ixty-fofcuvnew cases of fe
ver reported by physicians yesterday, be
ing the largest number yet reported. The
fever is on the increase;. -On Sunday we
had a cool change. Among the deaths
to-day are reported Col. Jas. T. Miller, in
town, and Jno. W. K. Dix, at Masonboro.
New J nurses from Richmond td-dayi.
Messrs. A. Martin and Isaac Northrop are
reported sick to-day.
October 8. The sounders have quaran
tined we town' people. I hear that ail com
munication between the different sound
places is cut off. A death from ; yellow
fever is reported at Wrightsville and one at
Masonboro. The fever shows no sign of
decrease, though the mortality is less.
About sixty new cases reported yesterday.
None ' Of us devote much time to thinking
that we may have the fever, or what we shall
do in ike event of our taking it. We toy
to be prudent tn eating, etc., keep a cheer
ful heart and pray God to spare us all to
meet again. Weather delightful.
Further extracts will be published front
the ' diary . hereafter, as we may find
room.

There was quite a good, sized crowd at
the Theatre last night to welcome the pro
duction of "Eviction," an Irish drama il
lustrative of the present troubles' and con
edition of things in Ireland, and incidentally
affording abundant opportunity for.the in
troduction of much Irish wit and humor,
3klr. Verner, as Terrene &Brieri, gave 'a,
very" successful arid life-like' representation
of an Irish lad, and Mr. Frew, as . jerry
Flyn; the Bailiff, created much amusement
and laughter. ; The performance was often
applauded, and Mr. Verner was gyen an
encore on a well sun? Irish sons.

The twenty trained elephants was another
feature in the evening entertainment which
everybody present "win long remember. It
is impossvble:to,pceiLve thf perfect docili

They actually seemed to Understand the
meaning of every, gesture, of their masters
and manoeuvred with wohderf hi precision
and steadiness. Everything went off , to the
satisfaction of all present. The. menagerie
is the best wei have ever seen, comprising ;a
very complete and varied zoological collec
tion; and we would advise any of our read
ers who have not been able to be present at
night to be sure to attend this afternoon
or this evening, as this is certainly one of
the few opportunities they will perhaps
have for a. long time to come, of , enjoying
something really instructive, amusing, and,

WHO 18 MRS. WTN&LOWf As this question
la frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a tety who tbt upwards of thirty- years has ttnti
rixttfy devoted her time and talents as a female
PhjUeian and nonet principally among children.
Sin feu especially studied the constitution and
wants of tiiis numerous class; and,, as a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, Obtained in
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physioidn, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teething-.
It operates like magio giving rest 'and
health, and is, moreover, sure' to regulate the
bowels. In consequence or this article Mru Wtns
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; children -certainly do tans up ana
bless her; especially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing- 8ymp are bxiit
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has
immortalized her name by this invaluable arti
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chfl
dren have been saved from an eacly grave Jay its
timely use, and that millions yet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite moaning her blessed.
No Mother has discharged her duty to heruffer

it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
