Ralph Waldo Emerson left an es- j tateAalued at $100,000. Tlie-Khedive and his Cabinet have made up and now are of one mind. Washington City is a moral and pure place. Only three divorces granted one day this week. Tire Xew YTork Times says there are only 200 applicants as yet for the niue places on the Tariff Commission. Everybody wants office. A very close scrutiny is held over passengers now landing from Europe. The New York police thoroughly search all vessels for the Dublin assassins. It is understood among Represen tatives, that no navy will be built as long- as that corrupt knave Robeson "Secor" is on the Naval Commit tee. Both parties are afraid to trust the fellow who robbed the people of millions. Our old friend Frank E. Shober Chief Clerk of the Senate and also acting Secretary, has been sick but is convalescent now. Kenneth Ray ner, formerly of this State, is well again. It was reported that he was sick unto death. It is thought that Earl Spencer had been marked as one of the vic timjjjjy the Irish assassins. Every one of the British Ministry is strong ly guarded, and Premier Gladstone's house is surrounded with a cordon of guards every night. Several persons connected with the Ring-Theatre fire at Vienna, by which so many persons perished, have been tried, convicted, and sen tenced to four and eight months' im prisonment, and to pay 6,088 florins to the sufferers from the fire. The "lone fisherman" of New lork State has been heard from, and the country is again threatened. Wheeler (it seems to us he held an office once was it the Vice Presi dency?) is Arthur's man for the presidency of the humbug Tariff Commission. Louisiana has had a lynching. A white man and a negro man, both guilty of murder, were hanged to the same tree by three hundred men. We thought it was vacation time with Judge Lynch, but he is still on his circuit, which grows larger as crime increases. The Richmond Dispatch says of the address delivered at Hampden Sidney College before the Alumni of the Theological Seminary : "On Wednesday morning an address be fore the Alumni was delivered by Rev. F. H. Johnston, of Winston, North Carolina, n 'Salient Points of Inquiry to be Con sidered by Those Seeking the Work of the Ministry." This address was full of rich thought, presented in chaste and forcible language and delivered with grace and earnestness of manner." Mrs. Bassett has the Washington Bible and she wishes to sell it to the Congress. She says she is the only surviving child of Robert Lewis, who was the son of Fielding Lewis and The VOL. XXX. NO. 50. Betty Lewis, his wife, the only sister of George Washington. She further spates that she is the sole owner of the family Bible of Augustine and Mary Washington, the parents of George Washington, which contains a record of his birth and his baptism. The following concerns Virginia politics and the way the Stalwart Administration favors the "dear peo ple:" . "Representative Wise, of Virginia, had a rather spicy interview to-day with First Assistant postmaster Gen eral Hatton as to the present method of distributing the patronage of the Postoffice Department in Virginia.- It seems that the postmaster at Rockville, Hanover county, Va., re signed in February last, and up to tnis time no successor has been ap pointed. Mr. Wise said he had been informed that a person, whose name he gave,claiming to act by authority, had been circulating around the vi- cinitv of Rockville endeavoring to make converts to the repudiation cause with the bribe of the postmas tership, and in the meantime the citi zens are subject to great inconveni ence. In inspecting the letter of resignation of the former post master, on file at the depart ment, Mr. Wise saw the indorsement on the back, 'Referred to General Mahone.' Mr. Wise was very indig nant. He said he was a Democrat, and he asked no favors at the hands of the Administration. He did not care who was appointed postmaster, whether a Republican or Read j list er, but the people interested were entitled to having their convenience consulted as much as the people de pendent on any other postoffice in the United States, and it was an out rage to leave them for all this time without the proper facilities in order that the office might be made a me dium of barter and bribery. He said that if a postmaster was not speedily appointed he would ,call the attention of the House of Represen tatives to the whole matter." Bishop Granberry is as good a soldier of the cross in peace as he was in war. Rev. J. J. Lafferty thus sketches him in his book: "Professor Granberry is first among us as an expounder of the Scriptures. As chaplain in the Confederate forces no claim has come forward to challenge his pre cedence there for fidelity to his commission. He marched on foot with the men, min istered to them, and was shot down by their side. He shared the lot of a common sol dier in the field. He shirked no danger in the fight. "The wound in the head that smote him down was reported as mortal, and he was left among the slain. He was captured and recovered, with but the ruin of the sight in one eye. 'In matters of doctrine or duty his voice always commanded assent, for he had mastered the theology of his church, and he had illustrated the whole round of du ties. He was ready to serve his brethren, but shrank from every appearance of court ing popularity. The winning arts for per sonal ends were an abomination to him." Both Dr. Haygood and Dr. Parker are editors. The two active Bishops among the old and editors also McTyeire and Keener. Editors are useful in many ways. The following appropriations for North Carolina are to be found in the River and Harbor bill: Improving Cape Fear river from the ocean to Wilmington, North Carolina r Con tinuing improvement, one hundred and forty thousand dollars. Improving Con tentnia Creek, North Carolina: Continuing improvement, five thousand dollars. Im proving Currituck Sound and North River Bar, North Carolina: Continuing improve ment, including Coanjok Bay, twenty thou sand dollars. Improving French Broad river, North Carolina : Continuing improve ment, five thousand dollars. Improving Lillington river, North Carolina: Continu ing improvement, three thousand dollars. Improving Neuse river, North Carolina: Continuing improvement, five thousand dollars. 58 Improving Pamlico and Tar rivers, North Carolina: Continuing im, provement, five thousand dollars. Improv ing Trent river, North Carolina: Continu ins: improvement, five thousand dollars. Improving Waccamaw river, North and South Carolina: Continuing improvement, four thousand four hundred dollars." There were 86 suicides in St. Louis last year, and more than half were Germans. Spirits Turpentine. It was the Danbury Reporter we copied from and not Reflector in yester day's Star. Graham Gleaner: Mr. James Webb, living near Oaks, had his leg broken on Wednesday of last week. He was kicked by a horse he was driving. Wilmington needs paint, and more of it than any town in the State. Tarboro Southerner. Just so. It has nearly 20,000 inhabitants, about as many as Char lotte, Raleigh and New Berne combined. It requires a great deal of paint here, that is a fact. Asheboro Courier: Three col ored prisoners made their escape from Troy jail last Thursday morning by filing their way out of their cell and knocking down the jailer when he entered with their break fast. Larceny and robbing a store were their crimes. Kinston Free Press: On Satur day a man came to town whose hair was about 18 inches long, red and tied with blue ribbon. A colored man, Jno. Ed wards by name, was arrested and carried to LaGrange last Wednesday for cruelly beat ing his little girl who was only about 8 or 9 years old. Milton Chronicle: We are glad to learn from the Oxford Free Lance that the stage line from that town to this is likely to prove a fixed fact. Mr. S. Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, Covington, a prominent planter living near North Hyco, brought us last Saturday 20 stalks of rye, all the product of one grain, and each stalk of rye was nine feet long and bore a head 9 inches in length. He has an acre just like it.- This rye was raised in Caswell. The indications are that the heaviest erop of tobacco will be planted this year ever before known, and it will all go to pay for fertilizers, hog and hominy. We would advise planters to try cotton as well as tobacco. It is a much less troublesome crop and the oil of the seed, it is said, beats lard for bread. Winston Sentinel: Peach trees are loaded with fruit as large as hickory nuts. Chas. H. Moore, of Greenboro and Geo. T. Wassom, of Goldshoro, both colored, spoke in the Court House on Tues day night on the "The Political Disap pointments of the Negro." The speeches in the main were good, and were full of cuts at the Republican, Democratic and Johnston parties. On last Friday a young man by the name of Slater was bearing off plank at his father's saw mill in Stokes county, when he fell in front of the saw, which passed through his head and body, coming out at his hip, cutting one arm into three pieces and cutting both of his legs off. Winston has a popula tion of over 4,000, with water works, a steam fire engine, the largest retail general trade, and the largest tobacco trade of any place in the State, and don't claim to be a city either; but she does claim to be the biggest town in North Carolina, and is able to put some of the "cities" in her side pocket. Raleigh News- Observer: Judge Thomas Ruffin has been sick for several days past. At the doorway of the Geological Museum is a section of a mon ster black walnut log, five feet in diameter. It came from Cherokee. We learn that the remainder of the log was sold a few days ago, as it stood, for $60. Chief Jus tice W. N. H. Smith yesterday received a telegram from his wife, who is under med ical treatment in New York, stating that she was quite ill. He left for New York last night. There have arrived at the Geological Museum a number of specimens of our North Carolina building stones, granite, marbles, &c., as well as some rich red slate from Anson county. These spec imens, with many others, will soon be for warded by Prof. Kerr to theNational Mu seum at Washington, in compliance with a request. The North Carolina Fruit Growers' Association is to meet in this city on Tuesday next, the 23d of May. It should be well attended by those interest ed in the growing of fruits in this State. Professor Dabney, State Chemist, yes terday showed us specimens of cotton seed oil cake, from the mills at New Berne. The seed are hulled and ground up into meal and then the oil is pressed out by powerful hydraulic presses, extracting from each ton of seed 35 or 40 gallons, worth, in a crude state, 40 cents, and when refined 55 to 60 cents per gallon. The residuum, the cotton seed oil cake, sells at the factory for $25 to $30 per ton, and retails at $35 per ton. The hull taken from the seed are are also valuable, so that nothing is lost. Judge Clark Howell, of Atlanta, died last Sunday. He was one of the most highly esteemed residents of that section of the State. He was born in Cabarrus county, this State, in 1811.. Judge Hoyt said of him: "No man will ever know the extent of his charities." THE CITY. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Munsox Blue flannel suits. J. C. Munds New perfumery. C. B.

The work of constructing lighters, or scows, for the work on the upper Cape Fear is - approaching completion. We learn that the engineer gives it as his opin ion that, with the appropriation already available for the improvement of the river in that direction, nothing more can be done than to remove the fallen trees and other obstructions from the river, and that an other appropriation will be required before the desirable work of constructing jetties for the deepening of the channel can be progressed with. The cost of prep aration has been considerable, and leaves really no great amount to operate with. The construction of jet ties and the consequent deepening of the channel is really the great desideratum in the way of improving the navigation of this long neglected stream, and it is hoped that the work now about to commence will not be suffered to languish before it has fully accomplished the purpose which was intended. The mason bo ro Branch Turnpike. Some of our citizens who are particular ly interested, went down yesterday to have a look at the Masonboro branch turnpike, and see how the improvement was pro gressing. They report that the work of grading the uncompleted part of the road has been finished by the contractor, Wash. Smith, colored, who is now ready to turn it over to the company, and that the work of claying it will commence on Monday. Tbe Imminent Hesfttly Breach. A tremendous excitement attended a dog fight at the foot of Market street late yes terday afternoon. The crowd all seemed to think it was fine fun, except the little boy who fell down and had the brutes tearing at each other's throats over his prostrate form. He thought it was a very serious matter, and was willing to sell out his in terest in the fight for a stick of candy. Magistrate's Court. Carrie Walker, colored, was arraigned before Justice Millis, yesterday morning, on a peace warrant sworn out by Annie Wil liams, and was required to pay costs and give bond in the sum of $25 to keep the peace for thirty days. The necessary bond was furnished and the defendant was dis charged. Robbing a Poor House. Thieves made a raid upon the grounds at tached to the county Poor House, on Wed nesday night last, and succeeded in stealing and carrying away about three pecks of po tatoes, a bushel of turnips and a.pig. Pre parations will be made to give future visi tors of this description a warm reception. Local Don. Big times in Charlotte to-day. The receipts of cotton yester day were 40 bales. Rev. Mr. Taylor preaches at Riley's Creek to-day. Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. 20th of May. Strawberries are retailing at f romlO to 12 and 15 cents per quart. The Wilmington Light Infantry was given a place in the programme at Char lotte. Mr. R. P. Howell, Cashier of the Bank of New Hanover, Goldsboro, is at the Purcell House. The Produce Exchange and most of the public offices will be closed to day. Also the banks. The Produce Exchange becomes more popular as it grows older. There are nine applications for membership now on file. A colored camp meeting is in progress at Piney Grove, but the excite ment is not so great as on some former oc casions. The thermometer in the Star office registered 49 degrees yesterday morning at 5 o'clock. Pretty cool for the latter half of May. We regret to hear that it is likely the Howard Relief Fire Engine Com pany No. 1 will indefinitely postpone their proposed visit to Charleston. We learn that the steamer Passport will take the visiting Lutheran divines and a number of their friends for a trip down the river on Monday. Miss Annie Hart's school had a pleasant excursion down the river yester day, on the steamer Passport, accompanied by a number of their parents and friends. The Wilmington Light Infantry, with the Veteran Corps and honorary mem bers, are requested to meet at the armory to-night after the competitive drill at the Opera House. Rev. Dr. Conrad, of Philadel phia, will be the guest of Mr. H. B. Eilers while in the city, and Rev. Dr. Bikle, of Mt. Pleasant, N. O, will stop with Mr. H. Vollers. We are glad to learn that a new interest has been awakened in the Wilming ton S. F. E. Company, and that many new members are attaching themselves to the organization. The continued cool weather is ruining young cotton in this section, and it is expected that many will plough it up and plant corn in its stead, while others will find it necessary to replant. The Water Works has been on such a "tare" here lately that it has been found necessary to put 'em in jail. The county is having it done, and it is thought the act will redound to the benefit of those mostly concerned. Tbe Celebration. As stated in our last, the Wilmington Light Infantry will celebrate their anniver sary and the 107th anniversary of the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence to-day by a parade and target practice at Hilton in the morning, and a competitive drill for a handsome prize at the Opera House at night, the halt having been kindly tendered to the Company for that purpose by Capt. E. J. Pennypacker, the lessee. Everybody and his wife and children are invited to be present and witness the drill, which will commence at half -past 8 o'clock. The Company, together with the Veteran Corps and honorary members, have been notified to meet at their armory at 7 o'clock for parade and target practice, and at 8 o'clock for competitive drill. We hope to see a large turnout of the Company and that they may have a pleasant time. Tbe City Bell and Electric Alarm. The bell for market hours and to denote the time for early closing will hereafter be rung by hand and without the use of a rope. We learn that it is the intention of the authorities, for the present, at least, to have only the five districts sounded by the elec tric apparatus, and that a general alarm, as formerly, will not be rung. High Tent, I. O. of RecbaMtea. Mr. Thomas E. Skipper, of this city, leaves this morning for Dion, New York, where he goes to attend a meeting of the High Tent, Independent Order of Recha bites, which assembles in that city on Wed nesday, the 24th inst. Mr. Skipper attends as a representative of New Hanover Tent No. 57, of this city. Tbe Prizes. Colonel A. M. Waddell will present the prizes at the Opera House to-night, on the occasion of the competitive drill by the Wilmington Light Infantry Company, in stead of Lieutenant E. A, Oldham, as at first announced, the latter gentleman having tendered his excuses. ' mayor Court. The only case for the consideration of his Honor yesterday morning was that of Mary Jones, colored, charged with acting disorderly on the streets; she had but just been released after a few days' confinement for the same offence. She was sent below for five days. DON'T DIE IN THE HOUSE.' 'Rough on Rats. " Clears out rat, mice, cats, bed bugs, roaches, flies, ants, moles, gophers, chipmunks. Star MAY 20, 1882.

We unintentionally omitted to state in our last, as we had fully intended to do, that Capt. James I. Metts, of this city, a gallant officer of the Confederacy in the late "unpleasantness," and who was badly wounded in the second day's fight at Gettys burg, had just received by express the aword he carried on that occasion, and which was given into the hands of some person unknown in the confusion of the moment. This turned out to be a Mary land physician by the name of E. T. R. Reeves, who was attending to the wounded in the rear of the Federal lines on that memorable day, who could not tell after the fight from whom he received it, except that it came from the hands of a wounded lieutenant. It was only recently that an inquiry for the owner of the sword was published in the News and Observer of Ra leigh, which was quickly responded to by Capt. Metts, who now finds himself in pos session once more, after nearly twenty years, of this valuable souvenir of the "Lost Cause," which is endeared to him by so many fond but mournful recollections and associations. Wanted to Bless Them. Poor Charley Bradley, a well known colored drayman, is very sick, and it has been expected that he has hauled about his last load of wood for his many customers on "the hill." A day or two ago, while partially under the influence of delirium, he wrote the following with a pencil and sent it to the reporter : "Wilmington. N. C, May 18, 1882.

THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF THE NURSERY. The following is an extract from a letter written to the German Reformed Messenger. atChambersburgh-Penn.: A Benefactress. Just open the door fof her, and Mrs. Wlnslow will prove the American Florence Nightingale of the Nursery. Of this we are so sure, that we will teach our "Susy" to say, 'A blessing on Mrs; Winslow" for helping her to survive and escape the griping, oolicking, and teething siege. Mas. Wimow's Soothing Stbup relievos the child from pain, andures dysentery and diarrhoea. It softens the gums, reduces inflammattoncureswina colic, and carries the infant safely through the teething period. It performs precisely what it professes to perform, every part of it nothing less We have never seen Mrs. Winslow know her only through the preparation of her "Soothing Syrup for Children Teething." If we had the power we would make her, as she is, a physical saviour to the infant race. Sold by all druggists. 36 cents a bottle. WHOLE NO. 4599 HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE in Liver and Kidney Troubles. Dr. O. Gt Cilley, of Boston, says: "I have used i very extensively, and with the most rcl markablc success in dyspepsia and in al. cases where there is derangement of the liver and kidneys. V 'ELL-MERITED SUCCESS A gentleman once asked a distinguished dis pensing druggist to explain the secret of the al most universal demand for Dr. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine. He said that it was In fact a genuine medicine such a compound as every good physician would prescribe for the disease which it wis advertised to cure. Of course it cost less tht.n any druggist would charge for the same article supplied on a physician's prescrip tion, and besides, there was a saving of the doc tor's fee in addition. Moreover, by buying the drugs in suoh enormous quantities, and having a perfect apparatus for compounding the mixture, he was not only enabled to get better articles in the first place, but also to present the medicine in better form and at less price than the same preparation could be possibly obtained from any other source. Dr. Richmond has devoted all hu energies to the alleviation of human suffering. With this end in view, and with his whole heart in his great labor for the benefit of the afflicted, he has achieved marked and merited success. There can be no real success without true merit. That his success is real is evidenced by the fact that his reputation as a man and physician does not deteriorate, and the fact that there is a stea dily increasing daman d for his Samaritan Nervine Sroves that it is no nostrum, but a reliable remedy, e has repeatedly informed the public that it is no patent n edicine, and no patent has ever been asked for ot obtained. Neither does he advertise it as a cure-all. There are hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure. It may be urged that tome of these diseases are so widely different that it seems absurd to prescribe the same remedy. They may differ in symptoms, yet in character be precisely similar: and then we must take into consideration the fact that reme dies may possess various properties. Thus, some medicines are both tonic ana alterative; others may be tonic and laxative, the properties differ ing according to the quantity administered and the time ana circumstances which demand its employment. In the manufacture of any pharmaceutical pre paration th? purity and strength of the materials used, and tne requisite machinery to be employed, are among the chief essentials. The first is in sured by purchasing the ingredients in large quantities, whereby the exercise of greater care in selecting the materials can be afforded ; and the secondTcan only be accomplished where the business is sufficiently extensive to warrant a large outlay of capital in procuring chemical ap paiatus. These facts apply with especial force to the manufacture of our medicines, their quality having been vastly Improved since the demand has become so great as to require their manufac ture In very large quantities. These ideas are not mere speculative remarks to mislead the reader, or to Imbue him with false views of the superiority of our medicines. While inspecting Dr. Richmond's establishment you would be surprised to see the admirable facilities, both chemical and mechanical, which he employs in the prosecution of his business. Everything Is arranged in the most perfectly systematic order, and while io the general observer there appears to be no room for improvement, yet new appara tus and mechanical appliances are constantly bc tng procured for the establishment.
