CoL Richard Bright, formerly Sec
retary of the Senate, has I been inter
viewing Mr. Cleveland. Here is his
talk after seeing the President-elect:
"The higher places must, loeicallv. be
filled by representatives of the party whom
the people have chosen to fill them. But
beyond this the change should not go, ex
cept as vacancies occur by other causes
than dismissal for political purposes, such
as death or resignation, or dismissal for
cause. xtow, remember my preaic-
tioa. There will be no -spoils business in
this campaign. President Cleveland will
stand like a rock between the government
and the howling spoilers, and the result
will be conservatism, caution, emciency,
honesty, and safety in the conduct of the
asairs oi the government, ana it will tnus,
and thus only, be made possible for the
partj to succeed itself in 1888."
Senator Hampton has a letter in
the. New York Commercial Adver
tiser, in which he says the negroes
will be protected by the Democrats
in every political right. He says of
scare-crow: - ; -
'As to the fear entertainedTby some that
the South contemplates a raid upon tbe
Tre&snrv- for navment for slaves, or for
pensions to Confederate soldiers, it is too
absurd to be entitled to serious, considera
tion. The South only wants peace, good
government, and a thorough unification. of
the whole country. We feel that we are"
on trial, and we are willing to be judged
by our acts." . V-.-V , -Jv

met his death in a singular way. He had
stolen a bag of corn and swung it up in a

just as he stepped under the bag it fell,

Jane John, wife of Dr. Palemon John,
editor of the Elizabeth City iVbrtA Caro
linian, died very suddenly December 22d.
She had retired in usqal health, but soon
complained of an oppressive feeling in the
chest, which was followed by a sharp pain,
and in less than half an hour she expired.
It was an attack of he art disease. Her age
was 57 years. Lkhoib, N. C. Dec,

merchant for 282yearshtre, was found dead
this morning in his store. He died from
natural causes. , .
T Fayetteville Observer? A few
days ago a gentleman of this county, who
had noticed tbe, signs of rats eating-cora
kept in a large open bin on his place, was
much puzzled to account for their iretting
out; as, from the shape of the bin, while it
was an easy matter to get in, getting out
seemed impossible. The sides of the bin
are very smooth, and slope inward, making
it out of the question for the rats to climb
out. A day or two later, hearing rats in
the bin, he made a slight noise and watched
to see now they got out. one 01a rat ran
from his hiding place on the outside of the
bin to the top of it and lowered himself
down inside until he held on only oy nis
fore paws and head. His friends seizing
his tail, climbed up by this rat ladder until
the last one was out, when he drew himself
out and scampered off. -The gentleman
who informed us is reliable, and vouches
for the truth of the story.

Narrow Escape. "''' ' '"'
A lady started out to take a ride yester
day in a carriage drawn by. two horses. It
seems that the animals, generally very gen
tle, had stood in their ' stalls for about a
week, bearing the popping of fire crackers.-
and noises going on around them, until'
they. ...bad become restless and nervous:
Tbjis the lady soon discovered, very 'fortu
nately for her, . having driven only ' the
length' of a few blocks when the groom,
who was standing in front of the stables,
saw; her beckon to, him and ''hurried
to the spot. She resigned the reins
to the man and got out. He then
drove on until he reached1 the in
tersection' of Third and Dock streets.
where the horses took fright and dashed
down Third to Orange, down Orange to
Front, and down Front towards Dock,
colliding with a post at the corner of
Front and Orange and finally running into
a pile of brick opposite the market house,
capsizing the vehicle, damaging it to con
siderable extent and .throwing the driver
out, who, luckily, came out of the accident
unhurt.

The parties who were burned out at

'who lost three stores, one occupied by a
Mr. Summerfield, as a clothing house; the
isecond by Mr. Hilbe, as a furniture store,
laud the third by Mess t a. Crisp & Blair as a
grocery. The next store was occupied by
Mr. Mincher, a baker, and the others as
follows:'" Ben ; Phillips' -' bar-room; - Eli

room; J. S. Crout, bar-room, and Eviering

three .other small buildings. Less than
$50,000 "will probably cover the joss. The
buildings were all ' of wood, being on the

Sad Fate of a Pile ot Overcoats. ' ' :
' Three Uttlet boys,1 who had been having a
good time popping Art crackers and blow-
log horns, on Christmas day, finally getting
tired and hungry? wended their way to
their snug home;- deposited their overcoats
on a chair in tha passage and went to look
for their mamma. A few minutes afterwards
the father came in, threw his overcoat on
the pile with the others, and passed on.
Some time subsequently the old gentleman
had occasion to ! go ,out into the passage ,
when he found, the overcoats on fire and.
rapidly burning, some one probably having
thrown a, fire cracker in at the open door,
Which. lodged on the coats. The fire was
imothered as quickly aa possible, but not
before it had worked its way through the
whole pile, which were all badly damaged.
