VOL. XXXV.-NO:;145v WILMINGTON,
The South, has one female writer
of genius; one We have praised sev
eral times recently- in these columns
She is a very; remarkable writer and
threatens to rival Mr. Cable. . She is
gifted with very great jpowers of de
scription: and she is an artist in a
high sense. It turns out that Charles
Egbert Craddock, whose . 'In the.
Tennessee "- Mountains' abounds in
such striking character painting,' such
exquisite descriptions of nature and
such a perfect ; familiarity with the
dialect of a rude people she; portrays
with such signal power, is no other
person than Miss Mary Nailles Muf
free. of Mnrfreesboro. Tenn. She is 5
now in Boston and is. beiner lionized ;
immensely; by Dr. ikolmes, .Ho wells
the novelist,airfll others of the literati,
ot ?'the Hub." , Say what you will
the Bostonians know fine literary art
and high mentals -gifts when they
come under their vision. Miss Mur-
free, it is stated, began: her literary ;
career seven years ago, and it is only
just now that she has allowed her
identity to be known. What other
woman ever,kept under the rose so
long when gifted? Even George
Eliot was known in a year or so after
she began her great career as a nov
elist. The interesting and clever corres
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle
writes from Washington on the 7 th
inst.:
"Many persona are of opinion that Mr.
Cleveland made a mistake when not choos
ing Patrick Collins, instead of Endicott,for
his Cabinet; that he committed a blunder
when selecting two of his Council from
New York, and that he fell into a capital
error by ignoring Ohio. New Jersey. Con
necticut and Indiana. li tion. u. v. u. ia
mar should develop into a painstaking,
hardworking and methodical Secretary of
the Interior, he will astonish numerous per
sons who have witnessed no such qualities
in his Senatorial career. Mr. Garland will
have the place' that suits him best. Long
ago, Mr. Conkling pronounced him the
foremost lawyer In the Senate, and the
country has justly regarded him as the peer
of any legal luminary in the Union. He
is saturated with the learning of his profes
sion and has the elements of a genuine
statesman and patriot He could not be
better suited, and is sure of landing on the
Supreme Bench, the summit of his honora
ble desire. Of : late, he has worn a brand
new black coat, the first of the kind within
my memory..
?The palm Tor rarrect drilling during the

best of the seventy-five brass bands that
played here last Wednesday was that of

second New York Regiment, accompanying
the County Democracy."
Mr. Cleveland may not please the
Democrats but he will not resort to
trickery in administering the Govern
ment as others have jdone. The fol-'
lowing, from the Richmond, Va.,
State, illustrates our meaning:
"Mr. Arthur's valet at the White House

Charlotte Observer: Mr. J. Gib
son, from near Augusta, Ga., yesterday ac
cepted a position in the new furniture fac
tory of Elliott & Marsh, in this city, and
commenced his first day's work at the reg
ular starting time. He was stationed at
one of the saws, and before noon had ar
rived, he had met with an accident by
which he nearly lost a hands. The saw
was running at a high rate, and in an acci
dental manner Mr. Gibson struck it with
his hand. The saw cut off two fingers and
mangled the remaining two fingers and the
thumb in a severe manner. . Mr. Jas.
W. Nelson, one of our well known citizens.
was carrying dinner to his soil yesterday,
about 1 o'clock, and as he was passing the
factory row, on Sixth street, he sud
denly: became faint and fell to the
ground. As he did so blood came gush
ing from his .mouth -and nose in ; copi
ous - streams, dyeing the earth about,
him a deep crimson. Several parties who
saw him fall hastened to his side, but he
was already dead. -5 Dr.-Bratton, who ex
amined the body, pronounced it a case of
death from a - hemorrhage of the lungs.
About two o'clock yesterday after-.
noon, a colored man was observed seated in
Butler's jewelry store applying a small
round stone to his lacerated lips. His name
was Luther Wallace and his lips had been
lacerated by the bite of a" dog, supposed to
have been mad. - The stone which he was
holding to his lips was a "mad stone," but
as it did not adhere to the wound, after an
hour's application, the hopeful conclusion
was arrived at that it was not a mad dog
bite, and the darkey went away happy.
Last Saturday . night, . the powder
magazine of Mr. V. Wallace, in Salis
bury, was raided by thieves and robbed of a
considerable quantity of powder, including
thirty one kegs of Dupont Rifle Powder.
The local authorities have been unable to
find a clue to the thieves. Powder stealing
is common in this section of the State, as it
has not been very long since one of our
Charlotte firms was- robbed. Section
master Carter, who is stationed on the Car
olina Central Railroad three miles this side
of Monroe, was aroused from his slumbers
early yesterday morning by a big lump of
fire that fell from the ceiling to the noor.
He auicklv aroused his family and made
his 'way to the open air with1 them, and
they had barely left the blazing house when
the roof, fell in, converting the interior into
a mass of flame. - Mr. Carter saved nothing
except the clothes which he and his family
had on as they left their beds. - All the
contents of the house were ' destroyed, vin
eluding the sum of $600 in cash which Mr.
Carter had saved up for a rainy day.

The Evidence. r
As an act of justice to Mr. Albert Isaacs,
mentioned in the last Star as having been
examined on the charge of embezzlement
and promptly and fully acquitted, we would
state that, according to the evidence before
Magistrate Millis, the only foundation for
the charge was the fact that he collected a
sum of money (about five dollars) and in
formed his employer', in the presence of a
witness, that he should keep it as part
payment of an amount he. claimed to be
due'him by said employer. f
