There is a great mistake about the pay. Only six consulates pay as high as $6,000. Those that pay as high as $2,000, $3,000 or $4, 000, (and there are but few of the last) have no fees additional.

The Columbus Times misappre hends the Stab in its comments. The Stab only meant to show what pertinacity would do what bidding high would accomplish.

He thinks the crop will be a fair one. Yesterday an old white man, a farmer in Mark's Creek township, came here and reported to the police that his son, a lad seventeen years of. age, had fled after robbing him of $400.

H. Currie, Prfsldent of the Pro duce Exchange, in, caUitti'jthe meetihg to order, took occasion to rejLa letter from, Hon. Thomas J. Jarvis, in response to a request from jour huainpaa anen, expressed in a public meeting1- leeSntJyi to the effect that he would visit Wilmington before his departure on his mission ttf BraaO,and give our citizens an opportunity ip consult with him on certain matters connected with our commerce with that coniatrjy stating that he would comply with OTeff request, and would notify the committee fey telegraph when he would be here. Mr. Currie then moved that Col Wm. L. DeRoaset be called to the chair, and that Mr. ' Herbert' Smith be requested to act as L).vlf - 1 i . i-m. Mr. Currie introduced td the meeting Mr. Julian A. Gray, PresidentTof the Cape Fear and YadHurlibqy Baflr;; President , Gray, wbjots commanding presence and show white loeis and beard impressed iajbdvanoe the terge assemblage of Wilmington's men of business, then ex plained very thoroughly and succinctly the object of the visit of himself and brother members' Of the syndicate.!; He was glad to see such a large number1 of our people present Spoke of the long desired con nection between the east and the far west Said he knew nothing certainly as to the probable extension beyond Mt Airy, but was of the opinion thai it would not be long before it would be extended . to Cin cinnati, from which Wilmington would be its nearest outlet by one hundred miles. Alluded to the completion of the road to within : easy reach of Mt Airy, and said the company considered a connec tion with Wilmington as an absolute necea- aity. Tbeywere'anxlbus for such connec- tion. The company, however, did not feel disposed or able to assume" the entire bur den of connection, but' thought Wilming ton ought to be willing to bear her share. He said the sum of $800,000 would be re quired, for. a completed road between Fay etterie and Wumihgtoa, and he thought our city ought to feel sufficiently interested to subscribe $250,000 of, that amount He thought he could make a proposition which would insure the building of the road and that Wilmington would get back the 'whole amount of her expenditure in a few years; and his proposition was this: : If Wilmington will subscribe $250, 000, the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail road will give her second mortgage bonds to the amount of $250,000, and also give her stock to the amount of $250,000 ; this money to be expended under the manage ment and control of a committee to be ap pointed by the citizena of Wilmington; and, before the citizena are to be called upon to spend one dollar of the proposed subscription, the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val ley Railroad Company will obligate itself to buy the iron and pay for it themselves and place it in the hands of the committee, so that in case there should happen to be any failure on their part to comply with the terms of the contract, the committee would have the iron to lay the track from Fayetteville to Wilmington. In conclu sion he alluded to the great ' importance of the connection to Wilmington. Mr! B. G. Worth was called upon and stated that he did not come to make a speech. He must admit, however, his sur prise at the modesty of others. He said everybody wanted to see the road built The only question was whether the security offered waa adequate! He thought if Wil mington contributed one quarter of the amount necessary, the company ought to give us first mortgage bonds. That was a vital question that must be settled before the proposition is submitted to the people. Mr. Currie thought the connection so im portant that he would be willing to accept the proposition as it stood. He spoke of the great benefit it would be in bringing back to us our lost trade. ' Said we wanted a road to do for, Wilmington what the Bal timore & Ohio road .had done for Baltimore, the Pennsylvania road for Philadelphia, etc. He showed the importance of a great trunk line running through to the West. The connecting fine with Cincinnati would certainly be built He also alluded to the great importance of a road which would necessarily be run in the interest Of Wil mington, ' He spoke briefly but enthusias tically of the trade that might be estab lished between Wilmington and the South American States and through Wilmington by the proposed line with Cincinnati and the great West, especially in the articles of sugar,, coffee, molasses, &c, ! He spoke of the great improvement o Fayetteville which the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad had btaatrMnental in bringing about. He further'; alluded to the rtainty of the speedy completion of the road to Mt. Airy," and the building of the twenty-eight . miles pecesaary "to the western connection. " Mr." Worth said he agreed with Mr. Currie a f. r, c Clown ' m aa to the imrrctaace of the road, but could net think the terms liberal. , People would oV believe 1 that 'second mortgage bonds would amount to much. further discussion of the matter -was uontihued by Col. Roger Moore, Mx.W6rth, Mr.,Wm. Calder, Mr. R. E. Calder, ajor W. I Young, Mr. W. A French, Mr. Lore and others, all favoring the road, but argu ing for better protection and guarantees to the interests of Wilmington. Mr. Wm. Cal der wanted better terms, and said it waa as important to the road to have 4eep water comwojgeatio aa it was to WUmingtoh to have 4 eo&nection through the mountains, and trjoughtuthat fact ought to be taken into consideration by the company. He did ?ot -tilat. the proposition' as'it siood Mr. Gray contended that the company was independent Other points were open to them. They wanted a North Carolina roffd and desired a connection with . Wil mington, but the idea would be abandoned if Wilmington don't offer 'suitable induce ments in. the way of aid in building the connecting link. Finally, on motion of Mr. C. H. Robin son, theChairman was authorized to appoint a committee to consult with the syndicate and report at an adjourned meeting. The Chair asked until 3 p. m. to name the ' committee, when, on motion, the meeting, at half past 1 o'clock, adjourned. Messrs,. J iH'.jeurrie B. G. Worth, Roger Moore, C. H. Robinson and Herbert Smith, the committee appointed under the above motion, request us to state that they will make their report of their conference with the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail road Company on Saturday, at Hi o'clock, to a. meeting of the citizens to be held at the Produce Exchange. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Anotner Man, Tired or Life, Attempts to Kill Himself with Ltndannm. The community was startled yesterday by the announcement of another attempt to commit suicide, which, it is understood, is likely to prove a successful one. Mr. George A Poppe is a German resident of this city, aged about 42 years and unmar ried. He has been engaged for some time past in driving a beer wagon. He has been occupying a room over the Carolina House, southeast corner of Second and Princess Btreets,, kept by Mr. H. Hintze. Yester day, about li o'clock, he drove by the sa loon, but shortly returned on foot, having left the wagon Jh .care of tl; boy; who accompanied him. He asked the proprie tor for a piece of paper, and it was given him, when he started up stairs, saying he would take a little nap. The singulari ty of his action attracted Mr. Hintze's at tention and he finally said to his clerk, Mr. H. Kocb,' " Wonder if Poppe is up to some such scheme aB that of his friend, McCollumf ' Mr. Koch immediately went up stairs and found Poppe's door fas tened. There was a low partition between the room of Mr. Poppe and the one oc cupied by Mr . Koch. The latter got on a chair and looked over, when he saw Poppe prostrate on the floor by the side of a lounge, leaning on bis elbow with his head slightly raised and resting on his hand, while upon the lounge were Bix two-ounce bottles bearing theinscription',auZanuf." He shouted "Poppe, have you ta ken poison?" He replied that he had., Mr. Koch then hurriedly forced the door oyen, raised Mr. Poppe to his feet, got him down the stairs and exercised him as best he could for some time, when the sufferer finally gave out and begged to be allowed to sit down. Mr. Koch then mixed some mustard and water and gave it to him, but without effect, and he soon afterwards be came speechless and unconscious, in which condition he was still lying at a late hour last evening. As soon as possible after the discovery of the would-be-suicide messengers were dispatched for physicians, and finally Drs. Pigford and Storm responded, and did everything they could to restore the man to consciousness, . On the lounge near where Mr. Poppe was lying were found a receipt book, an account book, a letter from his old home in Hamburg, dated October, 1878; a with drawal card from the Order of Knights of Pythias; a motto, inscribed "Gott sei mit dir" God be with you; a badge of the Howard Association of Memphis; and the paper obtained from Mr. Hintze, upon which he had written the words: "Mr. W. Nehls, "Hambure. "My ring must be given to Mr. G. Bau mann." , c ; On his bed, also, were found clean under garments, which he had taken out of his trunk, as is supposed to be used in his in terment. Mr. Poppe went to Memphis during the yellow fever epidemid of 1878, in company with Messrs. Baumann and McCollum, as stated by us. He has sisters living at Ham burg. , . " ':' ' P. S.

' C Bishop Keane's Second Iectnre. A large, and appreciative audience again greeted Bishop Keane on the deliv ery, of his second lecture, last evening in St. Thomas' Catholic church. " The subject Ewas "The; Light of the World." ' He had on the previous evening given a graphic description of scenes and places as he witnessed them in his pilgrim age to the Holy Land,' and at the close "of this lecture he announced that this was an imperfect - description 'ot the setting for them "The Light of the World." For what would more naturally follow a de scription of the HolyLand than to speak of Him who made that land holy? Seldom has an audience an opportunity of listen ing to such fervid eloquence on the majes tic and touching theme. And yet it was not in the way of a sermon, nor with a view of impressing upon his hearers any particular teaching of Christ, that the dis tinguished lecturer placed before his audi ence His infinite perfection in all its lova ble beauty. It was simply a magnificent limning of the Great Figure that stands isolated and unapproachable in the pages of all history sacred and orofane. We do not offer our readers even a synop sis of this exceedingly instructive dis course.; We have not space, and the hour at which we write is late. And to give anything like a correct impression of its scope and argument would compel us to draw upon the history of the human race from the fall of Adam to the present mo ment upon the history of the 'Hebrews and the teachings of the Prophets upon the history . of the nations as they were scattered over the earth and grew in the multiplicity of their errors while they wan dered from the light upon the history of the rising up from the darkness of Pagan ism such characters as Buhda, Zox vaster, Confucius, Socrates and .Plato, who, real izing each for his own people that there must be a loftier and better religion than that which had sway in China, in Hyidoostan, in Persia, or in Greece, made use of the only fragment of light that was left them to set up that better religion. We would have to show, as the lecturer said, how all these pointed, with the same unerring cer tainty as divine revelation, to Him who came upon earth to be "the Light of the World." ' The discourse was the masterly effort of a mind fully "stored and well equipped, presenting a philosophic view of the sub ject, which was replete with information and full of pious reflection. Bigamy. One Daniel Anderson, alias Daniel Wil liams, a colored man of this city, was ar rested a day or two ago on the charge of bigamy. The case came up before Justice Millis for preliminary examination, and the evidence adduced was to the effect that Anderson's first wife left here some four or five years ago and went to Virginia, and here'lately he got tired of "single blessed ness" and married another woman. He seems to have thought that his first wife had been absent a sufficient length of time to absolve him from allegiance to her, but in this he was mistaken. He was required to give bond and security in the sum' of $200 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, failing in which he was sent to jail. He is said to be a preacher. Carolina Yacht Clnb. The annual meeting of the Carolina Yacht Club will be held on the first Mon day in May. We are glad to hear that the Club is already preparing in a quiet way for the summer campaign. At least four or five new and handsome yachts have been purchased for the coming season, one of them by Commodore Jones. Blayor's Court. The only case before the Mayor's Court yesterday morning was that of Frank Holmes, a colored youth, charged with in terfering with the street hands while eon- gaged in driving hogs to the pound which were found running at large in the streets. He was sent below for five days. Persona. Mr. W. H.
