the above political deliverance. More
Judges, handing over the negro coun
ties to the old set and a uniting of
Democrats and Radicals in a common
fight against Democrats who hold the

A Mahone movement is reported
as impending in North and South
Carolina, in Georgia, in Tennessee,
n Mississippi and in Texas. In Mis
sissippi Gen. W. F. Fitzge.iald is the
Mahone aspirant. He has "been hit
in the belly with a pone of bread,"
and is anxious to lead the Mongrels.
He is in Washington accompanied
with other Mongrels, and is to have
a private interview with Arthur.
The Charleston Neics and Courier
special says.
"He has been promised an interview
with the President to-morrow night, in
which he will make a proposition that if
the Administration will furnish himself and
associates with the same support as was
given Mahone they will engage to carry
Mississippi for a fusion ticket next cam

an attentive ear to the scheme."

Gilmer was passing along the road near
Monroe Isenhour's, when a dog attacked
him and was driven off with stones. Mr.
Isenour's son, who was ploughing near by,
remonstrated with the' negro for throwing
the stones. The negro got angry, levelled
his gun and fired at the young man, filling
his face and body full of shot. The negro
had just been liberated from jail, where he
had been committed for some "cattle mort

Reidsville Times : No special
admirer of Mr. Leach, we yet hold him the
proper arbiter of his own acts, political and
personal, and hence though six months ago
when reliably informed by a gentleman
high in both parties that "Leach had re
nounced his Democratic fealty," the limes
thought best to play dumb until at least
Mr. Leach himself was heard from
as to the change and character of
his own views. Now it proves that both
reports were false and Leach is still found
holding to the horns of the Democratic
altar. Three neeroes. two men and a
woman were sentenced last Monday at

Rossi.
On the occasion of Signor Rossi's appear
ance in the character of the Moore of Venire,
in Boston, the eminent critic of tbe Adver
tiser wrote as follows:
"Intellectual splendor, intense passionate
heat, enormous vitality and force, are blen
ded here in a creation which is also distin
guished by artistic unity, propriety and
truth. OtheUo'8 utter trust in Desdemona at
the beginning of the dialogue with Iago
was never so well shown. His interest in
Iago'a insinuations is at first careless, then
merely curious. Even after Iago has drawn
the meshes, so that they are close upon him,
and has suggested the loss of good name
and the pang of jealousy, he is only con
scious of a wretched sense of coming ill
which involves disgrace to Casio, and
somehow mysteriously concerns his wife;
and, in his next speech, he expresses
full confidence in her. It is not till Iagi
has named Desdemona, and bid OtJieUo
observe his wife with Cassio that Signor Rossi
allows the Moor to show the beginning of
distrust by his wife. This is carrying a
fine idea very far.
"Directly alter, he rushes upon iago,
prostrates him, seizes him by the throat ;
and pours out the wild wrath of his demand
for proof, while furiously shaking logo's
head between his hands, his own moving at
the same time with the action of a very
savage, then spurning the prostrate wretch
with his knee, recoils from him, rises quiv
ering in every point, draws his hand with a
quivering motion over his brow and eyes as
if he could neither see. nor think, and finally
staggers to a seat. It is all wonderful in
its power and consistency.
Signor Kossi, with admirable gooa
judgment, introduces into the fourth act a
fragment of the scene between logo ana
Cassio, where the latter laughs over his
conquest of Bianca."
Rossi appears here on Monday evening
next, the 19th inst.

the City Council and Chief of Police for
he use of the court room.
Mayor's Court.
C. H. Loftin and Robert Blount, two
colored boys, were before Mayor Smith,
yesterday morning, on the charge of steal
ing a pair of shoes from the store of Messrs.
Evans & VonGlahn. It seems that one of
the clerks, in passing near the front door of
the establishment, about half past 6 o'clock
on Monday evening, noticed a colored boy
gazing in at the door in rather a suspicious
manner, and at the same time espied a pair
of shoes concealed under his coat. Upon
being seized and charged with the theft of the
shoes, the boy, who turned out to be one C. H.
Loftin, claimed that he had received them
from the hands of the other colored boy,
Robert Blount. Taking the evidence alto
gether, the Mayor concluded that both boys
were implicated, the shoes being identified
as the property of Messrs. Evans & Von
Glahn, and therefore required them to give
bond in the sum of $25 each for their ap
pearance at the next term of the Criminal
Court, in default of which they were turned
over to the Sheriff and committed to jail.
The only other case disposed of was that
of a party charged with violating the Sun
day liquor law, who was discharged on the
payment of the costs.
The Accident at North East Ferry,
In our last we mentioned the accidental
drowning of a horse in attempting to cross
North East Ferry. Prof. H. G. Everett,
of Rocky Point, who lost the animal,
corrects some errors in our report. He
says he was attempting to cross the Big
Bridge Ferry on Saturday evening, and had
driven the horse and sulky into the flat and
dismounted, when the animal, frightened
at the rays of light from a lantern in the
hands of the ferryman, and, before he could
be stopped, plunged, sulky, and all, into
the river over the broken railing of the flat ,
when, becoming entangled in the harness,
he was drowned. The sulky has not been
recovered.

The following is the unmailable matter
remaining in the city postoffice :

matinee at Rankin Hall on Saturday after
noon, under the auspices of Prof. Agos
tini's dancing school, proved a grand suc
cess, resulting in the reception of 241 pack
ages, weighing about 350 pounds, which

Smithville yesterday.
The following, from a recent number
of the National Board of Health Bulletin,
is important in its correction of false im
pressions of our port: "Dr. Thomas F.
Wood, Secretary of the State Board of
Health of North Carolina, writes from Wil
mington, under date of the 18th inst., call
ing attention to the report of J. B. Terres,
United States Vice Consul General at Port
au Prince, published in the Bulletin of
October 8, regarding the arrival of the
British barque Sienna at that port from
Wilmington, N. C, having lost two men
on the passage from yellow fever. Dr.
Wood states that there has been no yellow
fever in the Cape Fear river within the past
ten years, and that the sickness reported by
the Consular Officer at Port au Prince was
probably the malarial fever of the river in
the vicinity of Wilmington. This fever
often assumes a malignant form, and it is
considered dangerous for crews of vessels to
sleep on the river during the summer months,
extending usually from July to October.
The-fever, however, is a preventable dis
ease, and every master of a vessel that ar
rives is notified of the danger and of the
remedy, and either willful neglect or an
unwise economy brings such disasters as
occurred on board the Sienna. To protect
sailors from the ravages of the fever the
Seamen's Friend Society, of Wilmington,
has a large building designed especially for
lodging quarters for seamen, and the State
Legislature has enacted for this establish
ment the most stringent prohibitory rules.
Accommodations are here f urnis"hed for sea
men at moderate rates, and much sickness
is thereby prevented. In cases where mas
ters of vessels do not avail themselves of
this means of prevention, but persist in re
maining aboard their vessels with their
crews, the fever rarely fails to be developed,
either while in port or after leaving for sea.

WHO IS MRS. WTNSLOW ? As this question
is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti
ringly 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 a nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth
ing. It operates like magic giving rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; children certainly do rise xjv and
bless her; especially is 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 chil
dren have been saved from an early grave by its
timely use, and that millions vet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed.
No Mother has discharged her duty to hersuff er
ing little one, in our opinion, until she has given
it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
Try it, mothers tbt it now. Ladies' Viitor,'8ev
York City. Sold by all druggists. 25 cts. a bottle.
TRIBUTE OP RESPECT.
At a meeting sf the Wilmington Licrht Inf antrv.
held at their Armory, December 12th, 1881, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
It is very right that we who still wait on the
borders the summons to cross the river, should
place on reoord our estimate of the lives and
characters of those of our comrades who have
passed over and sleep under the shade of the
trees; and, whereas, among the many whom it is
our pride to number and claim as our brothers in
arms, our late fellow member, THEODORE CAL
HOUN JAMES took rank with the foremost in
those qualities which made up the oharaoter of
the brave, chivalrous, high-toned soldier and gen
tleman; belt
Resolved, That we mourn with no ordinary
frief our loss in the death of our friend, and
rother, and, feel, alas, too sensibly the feeble
ness of words to express in fitting language the
tribute we would pay to a courags as dauntless,
and a sense of personal honor as chivalrous, as
ever victor of battle-field or tournay could boast.
Resolved. That m the death of Theodore Cal
houn James this body has lost a brave, upright,
kind and just member and comrade; removed
from among us by One "who doeth all things
well."
Resolved, That a page of our records be dedi
cated to his memory, as a memorial of his worth,
and a testimonial of appreciation of his character.
Resolved, That to tne parents and loved ones
of our deceased brorher, we tender our profound
and heartfelt sympathy in this their and our
affliction and bereavement.
"We shall know the loved who have gone before,
And 1ovf ullv sweet will be the meeting, we trust,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel of death snail carry us."
