figures in it as the suspected assassin.
Guiteau insists that there are two

think he belongs to the class known as
cowards and assassins.
The record of crimes and casual

Guiteau is more crafty than
cranky. He does not hesitate to tell
the jury that he was insane when he
shot the President, but that he is en
tirely sane now. There is "method
in bis madness out w doubt if it
prove successful in convincing the
jury that be ought to be turned loose
to resume his refined process of "re
moving" every man who thwarts his
selfish purposes. Nothing has been
developed on the trial thus far to
show that he ever possessed one re
deeming quality. Charlie is, and al
ways has been, a "dreadful boy."
Whether through the agency of
the Canedo syndicate or some other,
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Hailroad will surely be completed at
a comparatively early day. Capital
ists cannot fail to discover the great
advantages of this route to the West.
The local and the through traffic
would both be very large. Much of
the grading can be paid for in stock;
and taken altogether we know of no
uncompleted line of railway so full
of promise and profit to the fortu
nate purchasers as the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley.
Some of the trimmers, journalistic

Statesville Landmark: Three
years ago Aarn "Whitaker bought for $70,
40 acres of mountain land in Surry county,
and the first year raised on a part of it a
tobacco crop which netted him $400. Last
year he sold his crop for $1,300 an(J.this
year it will yield him $1,500. The
first train on the Western North Carolina
Railroad ran to Warm Springs last Friday.
This is but four or five miles from Paint
Rock. Trains are probably running to the
latter point by this time. A Surry
county merchant goes to Winston, forty
five miles, to buy all his goods, rid
ing bareback on a mule. He is fifty
years of age and never rode on a saddle in
his life. In Surry county are a man

grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren.
The Charlotte 'Observer notes a turnip,
raised by Mr. J. L. Sloan, of Davidson

we would fain regret not having sent to the
exposition a turnip which was given us a
month ago by Mr. W.' H. Hunnycutt, of
ChambersbuTg township, this county,
which brought down the scales at 9i lbs.
in its stocking feet. It beat anything we
saw at Atlanta.

A large crowd was in attendance upon
the Mayor's levee yesterday morning, the
result of Christmas indulgences and the do
ings of John Barleycorn.
Eight cases of minor importance were
summarily discharged, more than the usual
latitude being allowed on account of Christ
mas. The first case tried was that of John
Walker and Fanny Walker, both white, and
strangers in the city, who were arrested on
the charge of being drunk and down. They
were told to go send sin no more.
Sidney Hansley, Henry Daniels, George
Bremer and John Lewis, all colored, were
arraigned on the charge of being engaged in
a fight and disturbance on Market street,
between Front and South Water, on Mon
day morning, and particularly for resisting
the police who arrested them. They were
ordered to pay a fine of $5 each or be locked
up for ten days in the city.
Thos. McEenzie, colored, charged with
acting disorderly on the streets, was dis
charged.
Fred. Robinson, charged with disorderly
conduct and resisting the police, was re
quired to pay a fine of $25 or go below for
thirty days.
Thomas Sledge, colored, for disorderly
conduct, was ordered to fork over $5 or be
locked up for ten days.
Inland Navigation.
The little steamer Busy Bee, Capt. B. M.
Roberts, of this port, towed a flat up Shel
ter creek, Pender county, on Friday last, to
a point known on the map of said county
as "Shaking," a distance of about nineteen
miles from the junction of the creek with
North East river. Whatever of importance
there is connected with this announcement
lies in the fact that it is the first time a
steamboat has ever entered upon the waters
of Shelter creek, though Capt. Roberts
expects to run one regularly hereafter for
the purpose of towing flats loaded with
freight up and down the same, which we
are told will be a great convenience to the
people in that section.
More Pounding.
Rev. W. M. Kennedy, of Magnolia, Du
plin county, writing us under date of De
cember 25th, says: '1 have, just been
made the recipient of a favor in the way of
a profitable pounding by the church and
congregation at this place. And this token
of love for me, and appreciation of my
humble services, is the more highly prized
by me because it comes not only from my
church members, but from members of the
other chuiches and citizens generally. The
Lord reward them all for their kindness to
me and bless my labors to the spiritual
good of each one who has so kindly re
membered me on this occasion."
Leg Crushed.
A colored man, whose name we did not
ascertain, had one of his legs so- badly
crushed at the W. & "W. and W., C. & A.

How It was Observed In WUmlngto
A Quiet Sunday and a Lively mon-
. Christmas day, which fell on Sunday,
passed off as quietly as if it had " been any
ordinary Sunday,' the only difference being
that many ate, their Christmas dinners on
that day, '; and also ' distributed the . usual
presents which had been left in their care
by the ever-faithful and generous-hearted
' ' Santa Claus." At the various churches
the pastors discoursed of the' momentous
event which led to the ' observance of the
day, and the services generally were of a
nature appropriate to the interesting and
important occasion,
Hardly had tie clock tolled the hour of
midnight, however, when the, burning of
powder commenced, and the irrepressible
horn began to be heard on the streets. This
day (generally observed as Christmas) pass
ed off much as usual, except that there was
rather more stir on the streets. We have
seldom seen more drunkenness, and were
sorry to observe quite a number of females,
both white and colored, but more or less of
an abandoned character, staggering through
the public thoroughfares.
Quite a scrimmage took place on Market
street, about 10 o'clock, among a number
of colored men, but the police quickly sup
pressed the disturbance and took the offend
ing parties to the guard house.
There was some very reckless driving on
the streets, and it is rather remarkable that
but one accident, so far as we could'hear,
occurred from this cause. A colored indi
vidual, instigated and "impelled" by the
"inspiration" of the "whiskey straights"
he had "put under his jacket" in honor of
the occasion, rode a horse furiously
through the streets, causing many narrow
escapes from being ridden down, attempted
to force the animal into the postoffice, and
wound up his reckless career for the day
by running over a little child in that neigh
borhood, when he was dragged from his
horse by some colored men and, taken to
the guard house. The child, fortunately,
was not much injured.
A man overboard at the foot of Market
street created a slight sensation, but as he
was quickly fished out the excitement as
soon subsided. It was only a case of an
equitable distribution of moisture, though
the outward application was decidedly the
coolest and most shocking to a sensitive
temperament.
There was a small turn out of "Don
Quixotes," . r "D. Q. I's," during the after
noon, and quite a number of "Kooners"
added their attractions to the lively scenes
on the streets, while at the intersection of
Front and Market streets, upon a platform
erected for the occasion, Scott's colored
minstrels, several of them dressed in Indian
costumes, went through their performances
to the evident delight of a large crowd of
colored spectators, with a slight sprinkling
of whites on the outskirts. Altogether the
day was a very lively one, and at night a
good many rockets and Roman candles
could be seen going up in every direction,
until the storm of wind and rain came and
put a stop to the exhibition and the fnn.
Cows on a Rampage.
On Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, as
one of the city officials was walking on
Seventh street, between Chesnut and Mul
berry, he found the gate of a front garden
open and no less than three cows inside,
engaged in devouring the fine plants and
evergreens with which it was stocked. The
c. o. entered the yard to inform the family
of the circumstance, but they had retired,
and he was about to do what he could to
wards driving the cattle out, when one old
cow, of evident belligerent proclivities, up
with her head and went for him, and was
about to plant one of the crooked appenda
ges of the same to the vacuum designed for
his Christmas dinner ; but the c. o. vali
antly seized the aforesaid projection and
finally succeeded in overcoming the inherent
obstinacy of the creature to a degree that
she submitted to be enticed from the prem
ises, followed by her equally guilty, but
less belligerent companions.
The Duplin Canal.
Maj. W. L. Young, of the Duplin Ca
nal, was in the city yesterday, and, in re
sponse to inquiries, informed us that work
on the Canal was progressing finely, espe
cially the sluicing process. They are also
reclaiming a great deal of State land on the
east side of Angola Bay as they go along.
Vox Hunting. ,
Some of the members of the Wilmington

THE HEBREW FAIR.
A Successful Opening and a. Splendid
.Exhibition.
The Fair and Festival of our Jewish citi
zens, in aid of the Temple of Israel, was
commenced last evening at the, jCity Hall
under the most favoring auspices, and is
likely to prove one of the most successful
affairs of the kind ever given here. The
opening ceremonies were:
Prayer by the Rev. S. Mendelsohn.
Oration by E. S. Martin, Esq.
Formal opening by Mayor Smith.
Mr. A. Weill, chairman of the executive
committee, presided, and introduced the
speakers pleasantly and gracefully. The
Hall was thronged throughout the entire
evening and the' crowd appeared to- be
spending money freely. We have pre
viously given a detailed account of
the arrangement of the room and
will only briefly note the appearance it
presents. Entering at the door on the right
you find a table loaded with fancy work
and valuable articles of a variety of kinds ;
a little farther on the postoffice stands, and
then another table, burdened as the
one previous. In the southwest corner is
the ice cream and confectionery depart
ment, and in front and on the other side of
the rostrum are the refreshment tables,
crowded with tempting delicacies and sub
stantial, all arranged most artistically. In
this we are quick to recognize the taste and
experience of the lady manager aad her as
sistants, and also the professional skill of
Mr, Thos. Dorley, the steward of the Pur
cell House. . Passing around, we find on the
other side tables Nos. 8 and 4, crowded
with articles of every description prettily
arranged and being eagerly gazed at and
purchased. In the middle of the Hall a
beautiful flower stand has been erected,
draped with moss and festooned with ce

IN MEJlORIAJj:
Miss SARAH B. HILL, who died at Shaw Uni
versity. Raleigh. N. C, on Saturday night, Dec.
17th, 1881, was a lady of great promise. She was
entering upon her fourth year in school at this
institution of learning. By diligence in study .she
had made rapid progress, and had exhibited such
ability that during the last session she was ap
pointed to the position of assistant teacher, and
ner class at the spring examination gave evidence
of having been well taught, and that she pos
sessed first-class qualification as a teacher. Du
ring the present term she was reappointed to her
former position, and in-addition taught a class in
instrumental music. She was a young lady be
loved by all her teachers and associates in school,
and her name will long be remembered, and her
early death mourned,Ty all who knew her.
For some time before she was stricken with fe
ver her health had not been good, but it was
hoped that with the return of cooler weather that
she would improve in strength, but Providence
has ordered otherwise. About the 30th of No
vember she was taken with the fever, and al
though at first of a mild type, yet it finally de
veloped into typhoid pneumonia. She was fully
conscious of the fatal character of her disease,
and was able at times to converse with her
friends. It is but just to her memory for the
writer to bear testimony to her many admirable
qualities-, to one who were among the hundreds of
young ladies who have pursued their studies un
der his direction, has been surpassed by none, giv
ing rich promise of a life of great usefulness, and
if she had continued her studies as she proposed,
in two years she without doubt would have re
ceived appointmet as a regular teacher in her
Alma Mater.
In the prayer meeting her voice was often heard,
and she lived an exemplary Christian life. In the
times of revival she labored with great zeal, and
was listened to with interest and profit. Her
strong faith and trust was beautifully illustrated
in the last days of her life. She spoke many
words of comfort to her mother and friends, and
was ready and willing to die. Her trust and hope
was in her Redeemer, and death had no terror
for her. Her triumph and victory was complete,
and while she has departed this life our loss is her
gain, for she is with Christ in glory. This thought,
together with the fact that she was a kind and
affectionate daughter and sister, we trust will do
much to comfort the afflicted family, and lead
them cheerfully to submit to the will of Him who
doeth all things well. H. M. TUPPER,
President Shaw University.
