It turns out that the backers of Foxhall pocketed $200,000 on the last race. Mr. Walton won $500, 000 during the last racing season in this-country and in England and France.

He tad h&m elected Vice , President of -the United States and had come on o assume his dnijes. ' He said he was a minister and gave jbis name as Thomas J eff erson. He was a crank." NO. 37. The name of the new British Min ister at Washington is Hon.- Lionel Sackville West The following we find in the Washington letter of the Philadelphia Press: "He is a rather slightly built gentleman, of about five feet ten, inclining to baldness, and with, a pleasant English face, fringed with full, brown beard. ' He was born July 19, 1827. He is an admirable host, and ft is predicted tbat the Legation, under his proprietorship, will have a genial, digni fied, bachelor popularity. Mrs. Cornwallis West is no sister-in-law of the new Minis ter, but only the wife of a remote cousin. She does not accomrjanv him. as has been stated in print. It is intimated that the newly-made wife of Sir. Victor Drummond, First Secretary of Legation, formerly Miss Lamson, of New York, will for the present do the honors on the feminine side." Some of the New. York papers made such unjust and malicious at tacks upon Rossi that he is anxious to withdraw his contract and return to Italy. The Evening Commercial says : "For some inexplicable reason Signor Rossi, since he made his debut here, has been furiously assailed and almost affronted by with few exceptions the press of this city, and for no greater cause than that he is not Salvini. That the treatment that this wonderful actor and genius has received from the critics of the metropolis is utterly unjust, no fair minded and impartial per son, after witnessing his performances of UtAeiio and liomeo, can with honesty as sert." The chances in Virginia and New York may be said to be doubtf uL The Richmond Whig is confident Cameron will be Governor. In New York neither party is happy. There is discord in the - two families. The Republican majority outside of New York city exceeded 23,000 in 1878 and 1880, bat this is unusually large. The lowest Democratic majority in the city in over eight years was over 29,000. In 1876 it was 54,000. Some times the Republican majority out side has fallen as low as 14,850. There is a break in the drumming business. Merchants haxe relied more and more latterly upon the visits of salesmen with samples. The following shows that the rift in the flute has been found at last. A Northern exchange says: "A number of Western merchants have notified New York firms that they will pur chase no more goods from travelling sales men, but will deal direct. They represent that they want to be their own judges of what they need in their stores, and what they shall buy." It is given out that President Ar thur is going to break up the delega tion business that has been carried on so largely duringthe last ten years. This is good. He uv, ants no delega tions to interview him as to the merits of rival candidates. Lock 'em out, Mr. President, or give 'em a drink of mean whiskey and send them to the kitchen. , ,. The Atlanta Exposition is not a success pecuniarily-- The - manage ment do not believe now that it will pay expenses.? The Philadelphia Presses correspondent gives a most encouraging view of the exhibit. He says North Carolina jand Florida lead all the Southern States. He says "it is a very great' Exposition." There were present at the Yorktown Cen tennial Generals and Colonels enough to command an army of 7,000,000. Exchange. Every Southern State . contains enough Colonels to command a mil lion men. The supply of Generals is not so large but is enough to meet all reasonable demands. The supply is increasing. This is noteworthy. The scarcity of private soldiers continues.

She was quite fat at the time she was fastened up, and had been very lame for some tune. At the time of her release she was in a fair condition is now, the third day since her release, begin ning to eat well, and does not appear to be much injured by the fast. On the contrary, her general condition is better, her lame ness havmjs entirely disappeared. This seems incredible, but it is a fact The sow can be seen in the lot of H. C. Williams & Bro.

Its contents are very useful and entertaining. The Bfysterloas Disappearance. For a week or two past there has been considerable talk about a somewhat mys terious occurrence at Wrights ville Sound, it being alleged that a certain man went off in a boat with a certain young woman, on the 13th of October, ostensibly with the purpose of landing at some point and bring ing up at Coup's circus, which showed in this city that night; that he returned after some days in the boat, but without his female companion, and that he soon after wards again disappeared, and neither of the parties had been seen since, which was deemed a very suspicious circumstance, and it was even hinted that the young wo man had been foully dealt with. We, as well as some parties personally inter ested in the young woman, have been trying to get some definite information in regard to the apparent mystery, and have so far succeeded at' last as to dis cover that the escapade was, to all appear ances, nothing more than a runaway match with the state of matrimony as the objec tive point. It now appears that the parties went through the sounds in their boat to Snead's Ferry, Onslow county, where the young woman was left at the house of a man named Harvey, after which her com panion returned to Wrightsville, left the boat, and then made his way back to Snead's Ferry on foot. E. F. Martin, colored, the mail carrier between this city and Jackson ville, travelled some distance in his com pany, while he was returning, and the man asked Martin what would be the penalty for getting a license in one county and be ing married in another. From this it was inferred that marriage was had in view by the parties. At all events there has been no blood-curdling tragedy enacted, and the young woman was known to be st Snead's Ferry at last-accounts. SntemM at Last. Thomas Barton Blatchf ord, alluded to a few days ago as having been carried to the City Hospital in almost a dying condition, and who has been commonly known in Wilmington as Tom Barton, breathed his last on Thursday evening. His disease was congestive chill, superinduced by a long career of dissipation.

A LOOK BACKWARD. Extracts from the Diary of a Wllmlng tomlan In 1862. We resume our extracts, commencing with the last day of October, and bringing us to the time when things began to look brighter and more cheerful to the long suffering people : October 31. The cool weather has not put a stop to the disease, but has rather ag gravated it So far we have only had slight frost Vegetation shows no signs of it November 1. Ventured down the street to-day, but very weak, and was home be f or noon. The remains of a lady brought here for interment, who was here in health but a short time ago to nurse a member of her family; she came too late, and I learn only remained one day, but the fever de veloped on her return to the country and she fell a victim to the disease a martyr to her duty. T. C. W died last evening; it was unexpected; he was a useful citizen, and one who was active and done his duty in this crisis. The day is warm and pleas ant. November 2. The fever averages about fifteen new cases daily deaths three to five. A very light frost is reported, but none to do any good cannot see as it has affected the tenderest vegetation. The weather continues mild this day is like spring. November 5. All the office force has been sick, hence little work done Yester day we heard heavy firing off the coast the enemy pursuing a blockade runner. The dreadful sound of heavy guns brought un pleasant sensations. The twin sisters had met war and pestilence. This day is like summer. Our sycamores are beginning to shed their leaves. Roses are still blooming, and the gardens look fresh and green. Hoping, hoping, praying for frost When, it comes it will be sudden, and the change will be a bless ing to the well; but our fears are for the sick, for it will be a death-knell to many a suffering soul. God have mercy! Fourth death in Mr. Rice's family yeBterday. November 6. The new cases of fever are on the decrease, slowly; the deaths are many some sudden ; there are a great num ber sick. Increased sickness ana mortality among the negroes as compared with the earlier periods of the epidemic. John Wa net, cooper, died yesterday. Old Jenny says: "There are a great number of black people sick and many have died. The white folks don't know how many there is." At sunset the wind is shifting to east northeast; gives promise of a change for cooler weather. November 8. It is hoped the end has come. At midnight night before last it begun to blow heavy from the north and northeast. The following morning showed a heavy frost Last night the wind continued with light rain, which turn ed to sleet. This morning we have ice one eighth to one-fourth inch thick. The tops of the trees and bushes are encased in ice. The old. sycamore glistens in the sunlight By noon the wind is rattling the ice, from its boughs, on the ground below. A fire feels good and my heavy overcoat comfort able, as I am out of doors looking at the ice the ice the ice! A sharp and sudden change welcome, welcome! Applications to the Sanitary Committee have come in lively to-day for wood; but little here. We aU trust this has killed Yellow-Jack. November 10. The Journal resumed Monday. The town looks lively to-day. Some refugees are coming in, with a gen eral opening of stores and dwellings for ventilation. They only remain for the day. The windows in the house have been opened during the entire season; still the carpet is coveredwith mould. E. writes from the Sound that he will go across the country and take railroad about Rocky Point. At office to-day for first time since October 81. Feel ing good. Trust all is right now.

There is now water enough for the boats to come through. WHOLE NO. 4976 Sadden ; Atmospheric Chances Gold Weather, Frost,; Etc. We learn at the Signal Office that there was f roBt Thursday night at Pensacola and Jacksonville, Florida, and Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia, while at Charlotte, in this State, there was a killing frost A gentleman from Bladen county informs us that there was plenty of frost and some ice in that county, and we learn that there was also frost in Brunswick county. Here there was too much wind for frost, though we hear there were-some indications of it north of the railroad, The lowest point reached by the ther mometer here was between twelve and one o'clock, when the mercury indicated 44 degrees. The highest velocity of wind here Thursday night was 20 miles. At Smith- ville the lowest thermometer was 40 de grees, and the velocity of the wind the same as in Wilmington. Yesterday the lowest point registered by the thermometer in Wilmington was 44 degrees, and at Smithville 40 degrees. The rainfall in Wilmington Thursday night amounted to 12-100 of an inch, and at Smithville to 1-100 of an inch. There was also a light rain at Smithville yesterday morning, amounting to about 10-100 of an inch. Yesterday overcoats and fires were in vogue, with indications of frost last night, though at 6 P. M. the thermometer at the Star office registered 54 degrees, show ing a considerable rise in temperature. The Fire Yesterday Mornlns. The alarm of fire was sounded yesterday morning, about half -past 11 o'clock, and the flames were found to proceed from the premises of Mr. W. J. Yopp, on Fifth be tween Princess and Chesnut streets. The fire was discovered in the pantry, near the roof of the building, but how it originated no one could say. The main damage was done to the L attached to the main build ing, containing three rooms, the roof of which was burned off; but the entire house, especially the rear part, was more or less damaged by the rough usage it received, such as the tearing off of doors, blinds, etc. The small kitchen on the premises was also partially destroyed. The damage to the house is estimated at from $400 to $500, which was covered by insurance in the Phoenix, of Hartford, re presented by Mr, Norwood Giles. The loss on furniture, it is thought, will amount to $100, upon which there was no insur ance. The kitchen furniture was nearly all destroyed. The fire department did good service in arresting the spread of the flames, which came near communicating to the adjoining buildings. Mr. Yopp will have his building thor oughly overhauled and repaired before re moving into it More About the Fire Thursday Even Ins;. We are glad to learn that the house on the corner of Fourth and Dawson streets, occupied by Mrs. Smith, and, by the way, also owned by her, was. not destroyed by Are on Thursday evening, as stated by us, but was considerably injured by having the weatherboarding knocked off, windows broken, etc., and the building would prob ably have been ruined but for the interfer ence of Sergeant Davis, of the police force. The sixth house destroyed was the property of Mr. Preston CJumming. The Hon. T. D. McDowell, of Bladen, favored us with a call yesterday. This is his first visit to Wilmington in five years. Mr. John S. McEachern, of the Board of Audit and Finance, is very sick. Mr. W. N. Holt, formerly of this city, but now of Savannah, Ga., is, on a visit to Wilmington. Indications.
