The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger says of the
boom in Confederate bonds: .
"The renewal of the mania for the pur
chase of Confederate bonds attracts some
attention in the street, where it is looked
upon as a shrewd movement by speculators
to advance the present price, and then sell
out, leaving the confiding public to shoul
der the losses."
The New York dry goods market
on Friday was thus epitomized in a
New York letter : 1 1 r
"Cotton goods to-day were very firm, and
some of the larger jobbers are placing lib
eral orders for future delivery. Cotton
flannels continue scarce. Prints and ging
hams are quiet. Dress goods are in light
demand and steady. Woollen goods are
less aetive, but light weight cassimeres, etc. ,
re largely sold ahead, and prices are finn. "
Alfred Tennyson has published a
Bew poem in the Nineteenth Century
entitled "Despair, a part of, which
is cabled to the New York Evening
Telegram, owned- by Bennett. A
London critic says of it:. .
"Mr. Tennyson has never been less am

weirdly impressive than in this, the latest
fruit of his genius."
Mr. Archibald Forbes happened at

Mahoneism received a slight bruise
under the right eye in that Statham
business. The debate in the secret
session must have been interesting.
The special correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch writes on the
29th ult. :
" The speeches made by Democratic
Senators have been very aggressive, and
had the Republicans consented to the pro
position of the Democrats to discuss the
Statham nomination with open doors, it
would nave been very edifying to the public.
The selection of this special nomination for
tne contest has been a very unfortunate one
i or tne republicans.
Arthur is shrewd. He would not
press matters. It is said that he will
appoint Statham any way. .
Seven hundred farmers in county
Mayo banded together and resisted
successfully the police and officers
who were serving writs of ejectment.
Several officers were fired upon and
wounded, and the others were forced
to retire. A Dublin dispatch of Oc
tober 29th says:
"This successful resistance of the service
of ejectments is hailed with delight by the
Irish tenantry, and grave fears are felt by
the government hete as to the effect upon
the immediate future enforcement of the
Land law. It is a significant fact that the
Land League sympathizers both in Dublin
and here were the first to be apprised of
tne an air."
Mrs. Burnett is the most dramatic
of all American novelists. Her new
play, "Esmeralda," just played in
New York, was in some sense suc
cessful The Twines says :
"A play is too easily passed as a work of
real power when it is crammed with situa
tion. It is. not situations, however, that
we need -it is life, character, sincerity.
The play by Mrs. Burnett, which was pro
duced at tne .Madison square Theatre last
evening, has to some degree these elements

We score one for President Arthur.
On Saturday last he said to Mrs.
Chapin, of South Carolina, "that he
was in entire sympathy with the
South in her recuperation, and was
determined that no section of the
country should during his Adminis

his power to prevent, over another."
Stick to that, Mr. Arthur, , and you

an advantage, it is a remarkable exhibit,
and one of which every citizen of our State
should feel proud. - In the display of iron,
copper, gold, etc., the State is immeasur
ably ahead of the others exhibttmg. This
display of mineral wealth is lavish, wonder
ful m lts extent, variety and richness. The
woods, in variety and beauty, nave no
equals, and no State can compare with us
as to this display. In tobacco we are far
ahead of the others, and there is no attempt
at competition in the display of the famous
yellow leaf from Person, Caswell and Gran
ville. Then our silk exhibit has no peer,
and there is really no competition.
markable feature of onr exhibit is that of
factory goods, and this attracts marked at- I
tention. The' cotton and woolen goods
divide the honors. The finest thing in this
department is a display of blankets, from
the HJKin factory, in Surry county. These
arc confessedly equal in make-up and quali
ty to the finest rose blankets. Our marbles
and building stones, lead and ether mine
rals all attract attention, and special atten
tion, too. Every article shown is plainly
labelled with the name of the State, county
and mine.

Pennsylvania's Governor led all the rest.
Following is the official report of the result :
Colquitt, of Georgia, 176 pounds; Bigelow,
of Connecticut, 186J-; Jarvis, of North

Dr. Craven states that Trinity College
has a larger number of students than last
year at this time, and that the outlook for
the future is very encouraging. Last
evening, as the train on the Raleigh and

son threw a large stone at the passenger
cars. It struck one, . but, fortunately, be

and injuring no one. The conduct of

Thursday night a negro, coal black,
and of most unDreuossessinsr appearance.
whose name is Nathan Perry, pushed Mr.
Uzzle, of Franklin county, into a ditch near
the residence of Dr. Hogg, on Wilmington
street, and robbed him of $17. Perry then
went across town, and when at one of the
livery stables met two white countrymen.
These he attempted to assault and rob, but
they proved more than a match for him,
and one of them knocked him down. He
raised a great cry, and declared that one of
the white men had stolen his watch. A
policeman ran up and captured the white
men, thinking the negro's story was true.
One of the white men being taken along
Fayetteville street to . the guard house,
jumped away from the officer and ran
down towards the graded, school. The
officer fired at him, and the report of the
pistol caused some excitement. Yesterday
morning the facts in the case of the negro
became known, and he was before the
Mayor, charged with assaulting and robbing
Mr. Uzzle. The case against him was a
clear one, and he was sent to jail in default
of bail. 'Square Clark; who' Was con
victed of murder in Lexington, N. C, and
was to have been hanged Friday, , was ie-
spited by the Governor for one month.

. FOX CHASE. .
A. Long and Exciting Chase A I. arse
Crowd Witness and Participate In
the Sport
At the. hour appointed, notwithstanding
the threatening aspect of the weather, the
gentlemen' of "the Wilmington Fox Chib
and their friends assembled at the' spot de
signated inunday's' Star" and proceeded
to a spot a short distance beyond ' McBhien-
ny's mill pond,- 'just: beyond the southern
limits-of the city, where the fox was turned
loose and the young beagles set out in full
chase, with the old, pack hound, "General ,
ricgett:jn tJac-lead.. After runmng for
about a half 1 an hour, with rather poor
headway, the pack was finally turned
loose, when '- the chase was com
menced in ; good earnest and was kept
up for; three-quarters of hour, the en
tire distance covered being about eight
miles, ranging" from' the neighborhood of
Mcllhenny's mill, pond to the Hewett place
and thence to the "Wilkes Morris place;
where Rey nard and his pursuers turned and
retraced, their steps. Being headed off on
the "home stretch," the fox set out in the
direction of Hart, Bailey & Co.'s vineyard,
through an open country. At this stage
the race became so exciting .that Capt.
Barker's men, imagining they were at sea
in a storm, slashed around pretty promis
cuously, finding themselves on sundry and
divers occasions "taking reckonings''
upon the uneven ground, while their horses
seemed determined not to pay the
slightest attention to the "steering appara
tus" in the hands ef their riders. Mr. H.
McL. Green made one lunge as he executed
one of his usual doubles, but when he
struck the ground the sly creature was
gone. After running about half a mile
further he was headed off again, when
Messrs. Grant, Schonwald and Barker
swung to the fox, each trying manfully to
get the ''brush." While endeavoring to
decide this important issue in the struggle
Reynard seized Capt. B. in a tender place,
which caused all "hands to turn loose, when
the dogs made short work of the gallant
animal, whereupon Capt. B. claimed and
was permitted to bear off in triumph, the
coveted "brush."
A collection was then taken up, the neat
little sum of $75 being added to the funds
of the Club, when all hands started for
home.
About one hundred and fifty persons, in-
cludlngxmite a number of ladies m carri
ages, either witnessed or participated in
the chase, which was one of the most ex
citing that has. eVer' taken place in this
Forepauxh's Circus.
The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist has this to say of Forepaugh'a Cir
cus, which is to be in Wilmington on the
12th of November:
We have never seen as fine a circus dis
play in Augusta. Unlike most exhibitions
of the kind, the wagons were not strung
out at long distances from each other to
make the procession appear to be a very
lengthy one, but were as close together as
they could well be put. The representative
of Lalla Rookh, advertised as . the most
beautiful woman in America, created a
sensation as she rode in ner howdah on the
back of the tallest elephant. ' The entire
procession was a very gorgeous affair, and
was very highly spoken of by everybody
who saw it.
The PTeat tent was packed to its utmost
capacity at both the afternoon and evening
performances. We have never "seen so
many people inside a circuss tent. The
show was undoubtedly worthy of the pa
tronage it received. The performance is
first class. There were two rings, and acts
were going on in both almost constantly.
The trick stallions were wonderful in their
tricks. 1 The artistic pad riding by Marie
Ashby and Rosina Dubsky, was very inter
esting. Both performers are capital riders.
They ate very easy and graceful. The lofty
trapeze act by Mile Victoria surpassed any
thing of the kind that we have ever seen.
The audience almost held their breath as
she performed her daring feats swinging in
mid-air. The three Herberts are equal, if
not superior, to the Hanlona in their acro
batic feats; The tumbling was excellent.
Zuila gave a remarkable exhibition on a
wire stretched hign above tne ground, one
walked across it blindfold, then with bas
kets on her feet and finally rode across it on
a velocipede. The bicycle riding by the
V llhon troupe was altogether novel and
showed remarkable skill and nerve. The
performing elephants gave an exhibition
demonstrating to what an extent the un-
wieldly animals ! can be trained, l-ney
showed almost -human intelligence. John
Worlaad, the champion trick leaper of the
world, gave a wonderful performance in
leaping. Loyal, the man meteor, was shot
upward from a huge mortar, and was caught
by Zuila, who was suspended head down
ward rrom a swing a consiuerauie uisuwue
above. Joseph' Ashly rode four horses at
once in a very skillful manner.
We can recommend the show to the press
and people of other places as decidedly the
best that has ever visited tne south.
