Two hundred square miles of land in Louisiana, occupied by 4t000 peopl and embracing many valuable sugar nUijljtions, are covered with water; the toss df crops alone will exceed $500,000. iLieut. Randolph, one of the army officers sent to investigate the extent of the destitution in the overflowed region, reports that from Red river to the Arkansas line, there has been no loss of life except a few children, and no actual destitution at present; he re commends that all issues of rations be im mediately discontinued upon the subsiding of the waters, so that planting can begin. Franklin J. Moses, Republican ex Governor of South Carolina, has been ar rested in New York on the charge of swindling; .since his arrest a continuous series of swindles for five years past have beenEtraced to him. Printers on the New York World have struck against a re duction of wages. An unknown man, crazed by drink, shot and killed a citizen of Lexington, Ky., on a railroad train in Indi ana, without provocation; the maniac then jumped from the train and drowned him self. The short time movement in EDglish cotton mills is holding its ground and likely to spread. An Ohio wo man broke the necks of two of her chil dren and then drowned herself and babe; cause, disagreement with her husband. New York markets: Money 62? per cent. ; cotton quiet at 1212fc; southern flour dull and unchanged at $5 208 00; wheat weak, ungraded red $1 181 41 J; corn llc higher, ungraded 7577ic; rosin very strong at $2 402 45; spirits tur pentine firm and quiet at 58c. Arthur is reported as losing his grip on the half-breeds. Last week America's racing in England stood, one victory, two de feats. It is thought the Tariff Commis sion bill will be subjected to a long discussion in the Housp. We hope the House will have sense enough to defeat it. We are glad that the Senate passed the House bill giving a pension of $5,000 a year from September 19, 1881, to Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Tyler, widows of three Presidents. Miss Helen M. Louis, of Charles ton, S. C, became stage-struck while in New York, and has been swindled out of $500 which she gave a fellow named Schwab to purchase for her a necessary stage wardrobe. According to Dr. Hamilton, the eminent New York surgeon and phy sician, sewer gas produces typhoid fever, diphtheria, &c. He says there is no safety but to keep all such pipes out of all dwellings. Bill Chandler's services are not needed by the country. "Bildad" writes to the Richmond State : 'One thing can be confidently predicted viz: If Chandler is made Secretary of the Navy the bill proposing to appropriate ten millions for the construction of new vessels will get very few Democratic votes." Some one fired a pistol into the editorial room of the Norfolk Land mark, but no editors were in. The ball bit a portrait of Senator Vance, and we are glad Zeb was out. It is not known whether the shot was ac cidental or otherwise. It is said that there is no prospect of reducing the letter postage to two cents, but there is good prospect of increasing- the weight of letters from half an buEce to one ounce for three cents. This will be a benefit, but the two cents' plan would be better. Mrs. General Fremont, Tom Ben ton's daughter, has filed a petition in the United States Senate to have re stored to her twelve acres in San Francisco that were seized by the United States Government, and are estimated to be worth now $1,000,000. Robinson, nominated by Arthur for the United States District Attor ney's place, ought not to be confirmed if what Republicans living in Wil mington say of him is true. Onr delegation would do well to be caie ful how they vote. Look before you leap. A word to the wise is suffi cient. The Republicans in Congress have chosen the following campaign com mittee for the present year, namely: Senators Allison, Hale and Aldrich, -andTlepresentatives Hiscock, Robe son, MeKtTlTey, Fisher, Page, Davis of Illinois, Houk, Calkins, Van Horn, Russell of Massachusetts, Wash bur ne, of Minnesota, and Ryan of Kansas, Post OfBoe Seeond Some writer in the Raleigh News- Observer wishes everybody else to stand aside and let Gen. W. R. Cox, Representative of the Raleigh Dis trict, be nominated for Representa tive of the State at Large. Gen Cox is an estimable gentleman, with a good war and peace record, and of fair talents; but why give him all the offices? He only entered upon his present 7term in December and has a long time to serve yet. Why wish him to resign a certainty for an un certainty? If he were to resign his successor might be a Republican, and then he stands a chance of being defeated for the other place. The people around Raleigh need not ex pect to do all the nominating. Cox, Coke, and Fab Busbee are all men tioned for the place by the aforesaid correspondent of the Raleigh paper all Raleigh men. That town can always supply candidates for every State office, or any other allowable. A whole State ticket made up of Ra leigh aspirants would be chosen if the people living in and around the town could only have their way. The Stab is well satisfied with the report of the Ways and Means Com mittee in the matter of internal reve nue reduction. The plan is to reduce the revenues some $23,000,000. This is about what it should be at present as the Star thought and urged. It would have been a tremendous blun der to have abolished the internal taxes as was insisted upon by certain North Carolinians. It would have been, we have no doubt, a great blun der to have cut them down to the tune of $68,000,000 as was advocated by some Congressmen. We are satis fied entirely with the result. The Star in its first editorial on the sub ject took ground in favor of a re duction of both the tariff and the in ternal taxes. Its wishes-in regard to the tariff will not he gratified for nearlv three years to come, we sup pose, but the time is coming when the absurd tariff will be so sliced and shaken up that the protectionists will not recognize their darlinsr. So Canedo did not come to time. He has notified those concerned that he would not comply with the bar gain entered into. There are many persons who were never sanguine, and who, therefore, will not be dis appointed at the failure. The ques tion of Can-e-do-it is now answered. But it is to be hoped that the road proposed or some other equally bene ficial to Wilmington will be con structed yet. We regret to see the hopes of so many dashed to the ground by the failure of the soft and plausible Dr. Canedo, with his well studied programme. Mr. Duff Green, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, has in troduced a bill to foster and protect duelling. It is to the effect that there be set apart an acre for duelling purposes with the demand that all duels shall be to the death. Persons fighting on this acre shall forfeit no political rights or privileges. An amendment charging ten cents entrance fee to witness a duel was offered by Mayo, a Repudiationist. The bill will be discussed hereafter. What if a young political tornado should strike Massachusetts and up root the Republican party. Here is a suggestive paragraph from the Washington letter to the Richmond Dispatch : "With the strike in Massachusetts, Gen. Ben. Butler as a candidate for Governor, and the Chinese speeches of Senators Dawes. Hoar, and the Republican representatives of Massachusetts in the House freely cir culated, the canvass in Massachusetts will be livelier than it has been for years. So says a New Englander and a graduate of Yale now here.-" Spirits Turpentine. It snowed at Elizabeth City on the 24th. Greensboro Protestant : We learn that our people at Whitakers, on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, will soon occupy their new church. Shelby Aurora : The wheat crop in this section is looking well. We are glad to learn that some of the min isters in this county are handling the Mor mon Elders (?) in a very unenviable manner. The Enfield Sentinel reports a very serious, and possibly fatal, accident to Mr. Peter Forbes, of that town, on Satur day before last. He was thrown from a buggy and remained speechless for days. He m still in danger but is thought to be better. nooril iuk Victor C. Means, of this" place, who has lately been attending his second course in the New York Medi cal College, was on lost Thursday the win ner of high honors in his appointment to be resident physician and surgeon in charge of the Jersey City Hospital. Salisbury Watchman: There is great complaint of the mail passing through the Salisbury postomce. we naraiy Know to whom to complain unless we go to Wash ington. : The route agent and postmaster, are so Closely allied in the same nest so to speak that it must be fruitless to appeal to him for a rectification of the carelessness. f Our svmnathies are with you. 1 he com plaint is general and loud. Hickory Car oli man. Hillsboro Observer: "It looked to us like everv waeon north of Hillsboro, between this place and the Virginia line, passed through here last TuealaanffWed- nesdav. loaded with tobacco, bound for Durham. Over one hundred and fifty covered wagons, it is estimated, went through Tuesday. We learn that some of the narties. middle-aeed men. from near Danville, Va., were making their first trip to North Carolina." ts" Winston Sentinel: Uur crop prospects were never better at this season of the year. Wheat, of which a larger acreage was sown than usual, is looking re markably well too well, some of the farmers say. So far the fruit crop has not been injured, and promises a large yield. Extensive preparations for a large tobacco crop are being made. The case of Miss Crutchfleld, charged with infanticide, was heard before 'Squires Johnson & Barrow on Saturday, and from the testimony given there remains but little doubt of the truth of the charge. After hearing the case and examining a number of witnesses the de fendant was bound over to court in the sum of $300, and in default of bail was sent to jail. Danbury Reporter: Mrs. Alex. James, living near Prestonville, fell from her porch last Sunday evening, breaking her right arm in two places, besides several other bruises she received on her face and body. A shooting affray occurred in the upper part of this county last Monday week, between Ephraim Moore and Brice Staples (both colored), when the latter was shot through the head and killed. Eph. has not been taken, sf we Me Uiwmed. - - A great man v of our voung men are leaving Stokes for file far west. No less than twelve or fifteen nave left the nortn western portion of the county in the last four weeks. We learn that some of them have already written to their daddy's for a little money to pay their way back to North Carolina. Raleigh News- Observer: Henry Hunter, one of the oldest colored men in this city, was stricken with paralysis Sun day morning, and is in a very critical con dition. We learn that Col. Saunders, Secretary of State, did not sign the call to Dr. Talmage to visit Raleigh. The Enquirer calls attention "to the condition of the grave of Governor Henderson Walker on the Montpelier plantation, near Edenton. Unless something is done to protect it, the encroachments of the Albemarle Sound will soon sweep it off, and there will be no trace of the last resting place of this early ruler of North Carolina. Governor Walker married Anne Lillington, but left no chil dren that we know of. His widow married a second time and has descendants among us. The monument over Governor Walk er's grave ought certainly to be protected. It is one of the oldest historical monuments in the State He died in 1704. Durham Plant : A Baptist church, fifty by thirty-two feet, is heing erected at Red Mountain in Durham coun: ty. Rev. Wm. Wright, of Hillsboro, has accepted the pastorship. No less than a half million pounds of tobacco were sold for farmers during the week, and we heard not a single complaint about prices. Eight counties in North Carolina and two in Vir ginia were represented on our warehouse floors at the same time. In our last we promised to give the amount of goods shipped from Durham for the fiscal year ending the first of September, 1881. The following is the report sent to headquarters by the clever railroad agent, Mr. J. W. Jones: Number of pounds of granulated smoking tobacco, 5,695,040; number of pounds of cigarettes, 22,350; plug tobacco, 98,400 pounds; leaf tobacco, 2,629.719 pounds; bacon, 3,980 pounds; flour, 8,686 barrels: factory products. 96.250 bales: cot ton, 3,279 bales making a grand total of 8,557,784. Salem Press: In the last copy of the Torchlight we noticed that it con tained 34 columns of advertisements. That is what we call prosperity. It speaks well for Oxford journalism. Capt. J. E. Fry tells us that the large iron bridge at Deep Water, one mile this side of 3Varm Springs Hotel, will be completed and ready for the trains in a few days. At Mor- ganton, in the Superior Court last week, Sam Pearson submitted to a verdict of manslaughter for the killing of Robert Walker. He was sentenced to ten years at hard labor in the penitentiary. An attempt will be made to obtain a pardon from the Governor. Wm. Taylor, the murderer of Pritchard. was sentenced to be hanged on Friday, May 26th. It is thought that this last sentence will be commuted to impris onment for life, which will be short, as he is in the last stages of consumption. A colored boy was sent to the penitentiary for four years for stealing a .half bnshel of corn. A white boy was sent for three years for stealing three quarts of peanuts. Concord Sun: Quite a valuable transfer of gold mining lands in this county was made last week to parties in Philadel phia. Easter Monday is to be made lively by a big chicken fight, to take place near town. That it is to be a big thing may be imagined from the size of the bets. Five hundred dollars is bet on the odd fight, There was a heavy frost Wednes day night and some damage was done to the peach blooms. An attempt was made to assassinate Frank Willeford, on one of the back streets in town last Monday night. A negro knocked him on the hack of the head with a stick. Willeford was stunned, but had sense enough to make a fuss with bis mouth, which frightened his would-be assassin away. This year's term of the Normal School at Newton, will open on the 21st of next June. About two years ago, in Charlotte, Alderman Schenck, who is a negro, was meandering his way home at midnight, and while try ing to get across the railroad track he was struck and knocked down by a passing train, which cut off his arm and broke his thigh. He brought suit against the railroad for $30,000 and the jury passed on his case last week, allowing him $3,000 damages. T ZEE IE CITY. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A. David Piece goods. C. P.

There was a slight fall in tem perature Tuesday night. A few barrels of virgin turpen tine are coming in, but not enough to make a market. The receipts of cotton y ester day only footed up 10 bales, the lightest during the present cotton season. Spirits turpentine is still on the boom, having sold yesterd&y at 57 cents, the highest price reached since 1872. Beef has been very scarce and high in market for several days past. Choice cuts were selling yesterday as high as 20 cents per pound. We notice that spirits turpen tine has been on a boom in the Savannah market, the highest price being 55 cents Here it went one cent higher. Rev. Robert O. Burton, Pre siding Elder of Wilmington District, will preach at Fifth Street M. E. Church this (Thursday) evening, at 1 o'clock. We noticed on Market street yesterday a dressed hog, raised by a colored man of this city, and only one year old on the 20th of thijrmonth, which weighed 210 pounds. The Sutherland Family, or the Seven Wonder. The weather being propitious yesterday a great many people took occasion to pay a visit to the seven long-haired sisters com prising the justly celebrated Sutherland Family, which under the management of Mr C. A. Donaldson, have been giving daily exhibitions and musical concerts on Market street, opposite Masonic Hall, for several days past. They are certainly a wonderful family, and every one seemed delighted with their pleasant manners and attractive faces, as well as amazed at the wealth of beautiful hair which adorns their shapely heads. The eldest sister gave a very interesting Instory ot the seven sisters, which was fol lowed by one of , their choice musical efforts, which was generally appreciated, especially the sweet bass of Miss Naomi, one of the most noticeable of the long haired beauties. The large number present seemed very agreeably entertained, and we have no doubt that during the remainder of their stay, should the weather continue good, their levees will be well attended. The sisters consist of the Misses Sarah N, Isabella C, Grace, Naomi, Dora and Mary ; the youngest being 15 and the eldest 24 years of age. They were born in the town of Cambria, on what is known as the Sutherland farm, near the city of Lock- port, Niagara county, New York, a few miles east of Niagara Falls, and are said to be all members of the Episcopal church, having been confirmed by Bishop Cox, of Buffalo. Clinton and Point Caswell Railroad. The committee having the matter in charge have arranged to systematically can vass the city for subscriptions to the capital stock of the Clinton and Point Caswell Railroad Company. To fhis end, Messrs F. W. Kerchner, Roger Moore, R. W. Hicks, J. C. Heyer, Owen Fennell and H. M. Bagg, of the committee, will call on members of the Chamber of Commerce and Produce Exchange, and all business houses on Water street. And Messrs. A. Adrian, C. Stevenson, H. Brunhild, W. B. Mc- Koy, Preston Gumming, and Hon. W. L. Smith will canvass Market and Front streets, and the city at large, in behalf of the enterprise. Trains Withdrawn We are requested by Capt. J. F. Divine, General Superintendent, to state that trains Nos. 42 and 45 will be discontinued on the Wilmington & Weldon, and Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroads on and af ter Sunday next, April 2nd. These trains have been leaving Wilmington on the W. & W. R, R at 1 P. M., and on the W., C. & A. R. R. at 7.20 A. M., and arriving at Wilmington on the W. & W. R. R. at 7 A. M., and on the W., C. & A. R. R., at 11.40 A. M. The Paupers Burylne Ground. We are glad to see that the authorities have decided to enclose the paupers' bury ing ground, in the extreme southeastern imits of the city, with a substantial fence, and that the lot used for that purpose is to be considerably enlarged. It is also un derstood that steps will be taken to secure more care and discrimination in making the interments than has heretofore been ob served. Effects of the Late Bains. Arrivals from the Black River section yesterday report a big freshet, the branches being so full that they can barely be cross ed by vehicles, the creeks, where fordable ordinarily, being now impassable, and the bridges submerged to a considerable depth. We could hear of no particular damage from the flood, but the water was still rising, and may yet result more seriously. Destroying the Contents of a Boom used by a small-pox patient may be avoided by using Darbys Prophylactic Fluid. It is morally criminal to neglect the use of such a disinfectant and preventive. It is certainly best to prevent the spread of dis ease, and those who will use Darbys Pro phylactic Fluid freely about their houses will be saved from the attacks of all conta- death itself, t Dally Weather Bulletin.

The Late Session of Wilmington Pres bytery, i Those frofn this place who attended the session of Wilmington Presbytery at Bur gaw last week speak in high terms of the hospitality ofi the people in that section, and also allude to the numerous improvements going on ther, especially with reference to the handsome and tasty cottage just erected in the village or Mr. J. T. Collins, the work, by the way' of Wilmington mechanics. Of the businessidone by Presbytery we may mention that lev. R. B. McAlpine and Ruling Elder B. IF. Hall were elected Com missioners to the?General Assembly ; Rev. J. S. Black and Ruling Elder G. B. Carr being selected as Alternates. The most in teresting and important subject of discus sion was Evangelisation, and a very healthy sentiment was developed in that direction. One of the results qf the discussion was the addition to the forther committee on this subject of Ruling fElders T, B. Hyman, John Colville and E F. Hall. The next session if Presbytery will be held at Black River Chapel on Thursday before the third Sunday in September next. Entertainment by the Literary C lub. We learn that the imeeting of the Lite rary Club connected ith the Wilmington Library Association, held on Tuesday night, though not largely attended on ac count of the bad weather, was still a very pleasant and enjoyable gntertaintment, am ply repaying those who braved the damp ness and mud to be present. Mr. E. A. Oldham delivered an interesting oration or essay on the subject of ''War;" Mr. B. G.

Mich A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies ana cries oi a sunenng coua, ana Deoomlng con vinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was just the article needed, procured a supply for the child. On reaching boms and acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have it administered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in suffering.and the parents without sleep. Return ing home the day following, the father found the baby still suffering : and while contemplating an other sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties and left the father with the child. During her ab sence he administered a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy. The mother was delighted with the wonderful change, and al though at first offended at the deception prac ticed upon her, has continued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. ' A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby, and over come the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle. Correspondence of Chloago Times, Aug. 10, 1881. THE WORLD'S EPI LEW INSTITUTE While passing through St. Joseph, and having heard a great deal about the World's Epileptic Institute located here, I concluded to pay the celebrated Institution a short visit, we were met by Dr. Richmond, the proprietor, who has gained a reputation as broad as the land. Ha is a rather small, yet prepossessing man, of very affable and gentlemanly manners. Ha gave us a hearty welcome, and took great pains ia showing us through his palatial and mammoth iiistlt ut I. .i It is a flve-sto-y building, 300x180 feet, Wfth base ment, and contains over three hundred rooms, and can accommodate five hundred patients, and each and every room ia furnished in the most ele gant and lavish manner. But we will begin at the office, which is a large room foam i shed with rosewood furniture throughout. In the office are thousands of photographs of those who have been benefited by the Nervine. The walls are ele gantly papered, and are profusely decorated with rich and costly pictures, relieved here and there by busts in stone and bronze of eminent men of this and other countries. In connection with the Institute is a mammoth printing house and bind ery, occupying six or seven large rooms, and a score of presses are kept running night and d aj turning out work far the doctor. The office is one of the finest and most complete in the west, and he has the rooms decorated, carpeted and trimmed up with as much care and luxury as is his own private office. On the first ffoor of this mammoth building is the doctor's private office, the printing department, bindery, tank room, packing, bottling said consultation rooms, barber shop, drug store, etc., all of which are fitted up regardless of expense. The second floor has the hotel office, dining, billiard and cooking rooms, many guest chambers and several parlors. The third and fourth floors are all rooms, all of which are furnished with Brussels carpets and the finest furniture. The billiard room has six tables, all of which are free to the guests of the house and their friends. The bath room Is large and neat, and is also free to guests. The entire building is surrounded on the east and south by an elegant five acre park, in which are lovely trees, beds of rich and rare plants, gravel walks and drives, de licious arDors, ana a most beautiful summer nouse. There are also a number of fountains that add wonderfully to the beauty of the park, which is truly one of the most lovely and attrac tive in the western country, and the Institute has no equal for luxury and comfort in the world. Everything is perfection, and the visitor is at once charmed with the entire place and its sur roundings. An Idea or tne immensity or the doc tor's business may be riven when we say that, on the day -we visited the Institute he showed us to his express room, and we saw the expressman take goods labeled to the following places, to say nothing of hundreds of orders from all quarters of America: Lyons, France; Geneva, Switzerland; Madrid, Spain; Brussels, Belgium; Cape Town, Africa; Shanghai. China; Yokohama, Japan: Bom bay. India: Melbourne. Australia. The doctor employs hundreds of men and women in his In stitute in the several branches, aside from the Immense force required to conduct the hotel. It Is worth a visit, and Dr. Richmond extends to all a cordial Invitation to come and see him. He and his wonderful medical dlacovery nave given to St. Joseph a good name all over the habitable globe. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ST. JOHN'S HALL, WILMINGTON, N.
