Tbe Wonders of the Great Northweat.
Gen. S. H. Manning, who is travelling
in the Northwest, sends us a neat illustra
ted pamphlet, descriptive of "The Val
ley of the Red River of the North
and the City of Morehead, Minneso
ta." Also, "Alice's Adventures in the
New Wonderland The Yellowstone Na
tional Park." This is a very interesting
description - of the marvellous sights to be
witnessed in this wonderful country, where
streams of boiling water are .thrown to the
height of two hundred feet at regular in
tervals from the famous geysers.and where
the fisherman catches his lovely trout from
a stream of cold water, and, without un
hooking it, : swings his line over into a
stream of hot water, where it is cooked and
ready for the table in almost the time it
takes to tell it. These, however, are only
two of the : many wonders and curiosities
with which the park abounds. This park
is set aside, and taken care of by the United
States as its own special property. Nothing
artificial is needed to add to its attractive
ness. Tne BUnatrels.

not. as . pretentious to quantity as some
other perhaps more widely-known organi
zations of this kind, they are vastly better
as to quality than moBt of thb latter. - In
deed, the performance last evening was
perfect in its way. - The parlor entertain-
mem was nigniy sausiactory, as uio sing
ing was very good, and the jokes of the
end men. mirabile dieiu, were surprising by
their freshness and originality. Of fun
there was no end, and . the ; audience, both

state of merriment. Altogether it was the

N. C, WEDNESDAY: AUGUST 26, 1885.
THE STORM,
A Furious Gale Tbe Adventures of a
Party of KxeursmnJsts Casnceess-
t fnl Attempt- of tbe Passport to Land
at tbe Bocks and Orton. : X . ....
Tuesday night,when scarcely a cloud could
be seen in the heavens, the storm signal was
thrown to the breeze. Very few noticed the
warning, and. very few of these who did
had the slightest conception of the severe
reality it was Intended to herald. " Yester
day . morning the clouds' looked a little
threatening, but no more so than they fre;
quently do when no rain or wind of conse
quence has followed. Even the majority of
party . of excursionists refused to be
frightened out -or- the day'; enjoyment
they had . so fondly anticipated, and
quite a - number embarked, on. the
steamer Passport at 9 o'clock fom. trip to
the' seashore; the boat . having been char
tered for the occasion by the' ladies of the
Fifth Street Methodist Church. As the day
wore on the wind continued to increase. It
was from the south-southeast, and came in
squalls, until about 4 o'clock, when it set
in steadily and assumed the proportions of
a severe storm. At the same time intelli
gence was received from Smithville to the
effect that the wind was blowing at the
rate of sixty miles per hour, while at the
same time here it was blowing at the rate
of thirty five miles per hour.
In the meantime much uneasiness be
gan to be felt for those who had ventured
on the excursion, which was finally re-
ieved by the appearance of the staunch
craft, about 5 o'clock, or an hour earlier
than UBual, with her passengers all under
cover, and with her hurricane deck in a
stale of general demoralization. Carriages
were quickly brought into requisition and
the ladies and children were landed safely
at their respective 'doors. ":
From parties who were on -the boat we
earn that quite a number of the excur
sionists not eff at the "Rocks," some at
Ortoc, and some at Smithville. After
caving the latter place with' the large num
ber i ho would hot venture to get off, the
wind having by this time increased to a
furious gale, the boat steamed out by Bald
Head'and Fort Caswell to a position near
the bar, when she turned back towards
Smilhuille. The scene on the -ocean is
described by those who had the courage
and curiosity to witness it, as grand beyond
conception. The huge waves hurled
themselvesgainst the boat with such force
as seemingly almost to threaten her destruc
tion, and the .spray was thrown over the
boat in showers.
Arriving at Smithville, it was found im
possible for but a very few of those who
had gotten off to board the steamer again,
and quite a number were left behind.
At the "Bocks" an effort was made to
and, but without success, and if a landing
had been made it is doubtful if the people
could have gotten on board. As we said,
a large number stopped here in going down,
and they all had to remain and face the
stern .realities before them. They had
plenty of time, however, to take precau
tions for their safety.
Upon the boat's arriving opposite Orton
an effort was made, to land at the wharf for
the passengers there, and here the most ex
citing scene of the day occurred. Upon
turning towards the shore the wind came
ith such force against the steamer that
she was fairly lifted out of the water and
plunged to such an extent that many
thought she was in the act of capsizing.
The attempt to make a landing here had to
be abandoned, and .the parties on shore
were compelled to make their, way to the
dwellings in the distance thebesi way they
could. The screams of the ' women and
children during . these perilous moments
almost drowned the roar of the wind.
Taken altogether, however, the splendid
steamer- rode out the gale beautifully.
She had a part of her upper works carried
away by running into the wharf at Smith
ville. At last accounts no damage had oc
curred there; but a large tree in front of the
Signal office had been uprooted.
IN THE CITY
The storm raged with great severity
until after nightfall, when the wind, which
had veered around to the west, moderated
in its fury; rain, however, continuing to
falL Daring the height of the gale people
kept within doors," and wisely, too, for the
streets were strewn with the limbs and
boughs of trees, which were tossed about
''promiscuous like." The telephone wires
were damaged and crossed to such ah ex
tent that they could not be used. It will
probably take a day or two to straighten
them out , A great many trees were blown
down, especially fein the southern part of
the city, and quite a number of fences were
levelled. The Norwegian brie San Juan,
discharging ballast at a wharf near Wil
son's Mill, had to be careened to prevent
capsizing, and a : small schooner in the
stream dragged her anchors and was driven
on the fiats on the west side of the river.
The storm came from the South and
must have been very severe along the coast
before it. reached Wilmington. Our tele
graph dispatches report great destruction
caused at Charleston, S. C, where the dam
age is , estimated at one' million 'dollars.
Telegraphic communication south of this
place was broken after the above mentioned
dispatch was sent and no further intelli
gence could be had from that direction.

tence In Securing a Coffin to Bury.
Ills Son. -"
Thomas Green, colored, was arrested
yesterday on the chargeof- false pretence.
It appears that he went some time ago to
Joseph K , Sampson, Register of Deeds, and
endeavored to prevail upon him , to stand
for him at Thomas Rivera's undertaking
establishment for a coffin for his son. This
Sampson declined repeatedly to do, as he
was possessed of a great deal of dearly
bought experience in such matters, but
finally, ceased his opposition when in
formed by Green that a man named Howe
a friend of Sampson, in whom he had
implicit-confidence had sent him with the
request that he (Sampson) should let him
have the money or be responsible for it
He then wrote an order to Rivera to let
Green have the coffin (costing $7 and
he would "see it paid for. Some time
passed, and, instead of paying something
on the amount, as he had promised to do,
Green treated with the utmost indifference
all efforts of Sampson to get him to a settle
ment; and the latter having; already paid
$5 of the sum to Rivera, and having seen
Howe and ascertained that he had had no
conversation with Green on the subject of
the cornn, and therefore of course had not
authorized him to use his name in the
matter, Sampson had Green arrested for
false pretence.
The case was heard before Justice Millis,
yesterday morning, and at the close of the
examination tho defendant was required to
give bond in the sum of $100 for his ap
pearance at the next term of the Criminal
Court, failing in which he was sent to jail.
Mr. Solicitor Moore appeared for the
State.
Tbe Crops.
Mr. Alex. Johnson, who . returned Mon
day night from Mullms. S. C, says the
crops in that section especially cotton are
suffering severely, on account of the
drought. Farmers that were happy in the
anticipation of a large, crop but a few
weeks ago, would now be satisfied with
even the assurance of an average one. The
cotton is being literally scorched by the
hot sun and drought.
