; Mary Anderson is evidently im
proving in the judgment of the
theatrical critic of the New York
Times. Of her Pauline, in Bolwer's
"Lady of Lyons," he grows positively
enthusiastic in the following ; .
"The beauty of the -famous Lyons maid
en, the dignity of her womanly pride, and
the grace of her action have all been given
to Miss Anderson by nature. Nothing but
the quaint old French dress was needed to
transform her into a living picture of Bul
Wer8 heroine, full of subtle harmonies and
crowned with a loveliness that belongs to
no one period ; of art. . Miss Anderson's
powers as an actress are now the realms of
her chosen art. . If her TuuliJie'w not a
great performance, ; it is possibly because
the part is not great. It is certain that in
the expression of unbending pride, ofu
perb dignity, ot--ecorn, of -hatred 'and put-'
raged womanhood Miss Anderson rises to
a lofty level and "impresses her audience
with a sense of strength and of reserved
force. In her defiance of Beauseant last
night her trumpet tones of defiance and tri
umphant . scorn rang through the house
and stirred the deepest - pulses of her audi
tors, moving them to warm applause. Her
portrayal of the contending .emotions that
struggled in the bosom of Pauline when
she learned how she had been duped by
Melnotte, yet could not hate him, was con
ceived in an artistic spirit and executed
with refined skill."
Paul H. Hayne concludes his se
ries of papers on ante-bellum Charles
ton in the Southern Hivouac for
November. His last words are very
beautiful and touching. After quo
ting from some of his own verses on
his native city and referring to her
apparent coldness to her children, he
says with poetic tenderness
"Oh I Queen; oh I madre imperiale,
when the sunset has faded, and the twi
light gone, and the night descended, wilt
thou not call the wearied exile home ?
"He would fain sleep within the sound
of thy waters, under the shadow of thy
immemorial oaks, near the sacred dust of
his fathers !"
The other day at Augusta, Ga., a
one-armed Confederate named S. A.
Stroud, at the great risk of his own
life, saved a fourteen year old girl
from instant death. She was right

as it was almost upon her. Mr.
Stroud bounded on to the track and
seizing her with his one arm made
good his retreat.

FIRE IN FJLTETTEV1LLE,
Destructive Conflagration In our Sis
ter Town Fayettevill Hotel Barn
ed Great Excitement Amone the
. Citizens Heavy Lou Insurance
1 1,000.
Quite an excitement was "created here
yesterday afternoon by reports that a tre
mendous fire was raging in Fayetteville.
These reports were so meagre and 10 vague
that thoughtful men could form no conclu
sion except that they were wildly . exagge
rated. It was very generally rumored that
the "whole town was burning tip."
r The first reliable information that could
be obtained by a Stab reporter was that a
telegram had been sent from Fayetteville
to . Major John C. Winder, at Raleigh,
stating that the town was threatened with
a destructive fire, and asking that one of
the Raleigh steam fire engines be Sent at
once by special train. Major Winder re
sponded promptly, and the engine was
soon on its way at a thirty-mile gait.-
Next came a report that the entire block
of buildings from Fayetteville Hotel to the
Williams building inclusive had been de
stroyed, and that the fire had crossed Donald
son street and was spreading in an easterly
direction.
Then came a telegram from Mr. John
M. Rose saying, "Nothing burned down
except Fayetteville Hotel. Other buildings
under control."
Meantime, the Stab had ordered a spe
cial. If that special comes it will be given
below. Otherwise, the above is all the
information we can give.
Special Star Telegram.
Fatbttevtixb, N. C , November 5.
At 12 o'clock to day the Fayetteville Hotel
was discovered to be on fire.' The fair
being in progress the town was somewhat
deserted and the flames spread rapidly, be
fore much force was brought to bear upon
them. As the news reached the Fair
Grounds great crowds of people, hurrying
in carriages and on foot, rushed wildly
into the town, and very soon good work
was being done; but it was too late. With
a somewhat inefficient fire organization and
an insufficiency of water, It was impossi
ble to arrest the destructive and luried
flames, which leaped high and grew fiercer.
The crowd worked manfully, but to no
avail. The Fayetteville Hotel building,
covering about a block, was consumed,
and .for awhile it seemed that all of
upper Hay street, including the Opera
House, would be burned.
About 2 o'clock Raleigh was telegraphed
to for assistance, and at five a special train
brought their fire engine and part of the
company. The flames are now (at 7 o'clock)
fully under control, and no further danger
is anticipated. The loss is quite heavy.
The building, which was owned by a joint
stock company, and was insured for only
$11,000, not half its value; and W. G.
Matthews, keeper of the hotel, loses nearly
everything in the way of Jurniture, &c,
having not a dollar of insurance. The fire
created great excitement for a while, it ap
pearing that the wEole town would burn,
but everything is quiet now. J. R. M.
Kaeaped Prisoner Captured.
A colored prisoner at the County Work
House, named Dan Huggins, who was
sent out at the last term of the Criminal
Court for six months for an affray with
some women, made his escape on the 9th
of October. It seems that on that day
Capt. Savage was sick, and the prisoner,
taking advantage of the guard, left for bet
ter quarters, earring with him. an axe be
longing to the Superintendent.
On Wednesday, Capt. Savage, hearing
that Huggins was at a certain . house in
Pender .county, just across Island Creek,
started after him. He was accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Chad wick, . H. Terry,
James Mqrray, James Newton and Wm.
B Savage, the latter a son of Capt. S.
The posse arrived at the house (which was
occupied by one James Wilson) Wednes
day night, and were refused admittance,
whereupon they forced their way in, found
Huggins, handcuffed him and brought him
to the Work House, arriving there about 4
o'clock a. m.
The prisoner is regarded as a very danger
ous man, and much credit is due Capt
Savage and his posse in thus securing and
placing in the clutches of the law so des
perate a character. . "

At the regular monthly meeting of the

was mixed so well that all were repaid for
their long waiting. - . ' - -

Oxford Orphan Asylum Entertain
ment.
The entertainment by the Singing Class
of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, assisted by
Prof. J. H. Denck, came off as advertised
last evening, at the Lutheran Sunday school
room. Long before 8 o'clock every seat
was occupied, and standing room was at a
premium. Many were unable to gain ad
mittance. The programme as announced
was carried out to the letter, and it was
simply wonderful to see the proficiency at
tained by the little ones in their songs and
recitations. The singing far exceeded the
expectations of every one, and if we should
again be favored with a visit from them wc
can safely guarantee a much larger audi
ence than that of last night.
The selections by Prof. Denck were
highly enjoyed by the audience, if they
could be judged from the applause that
greeted him, and the committee desire to
here express their thanks to the Professor
for his kind assistance; also to Rev. Mr.
Peschau and to the. Lutheran Sunday
school for the use of their room.
The Reeent mall Robbery.
A correspondent at Red Banks sends us
some additional particulars in regard to the
mail "robbery at that place on the night
of October 31st. Red Banks is a flag sta
tion where a crane is used for hanging out
the mail pouches, and it is the deputy's duty,
bet wen 12 and 3 o'clock a.,m., (train time).
to exchange pouches. He, on the night in
question, on examining the pouch put off
by the western bound train, found there
was no mail in it. Upon a closer' inspec
tion Sunday morning it was found that the
pouch had been cut open and robbed of its
contents after it was thrown out of the
mail car. The perpetrator of the theft was
tracked Sunday morntne by articles of the
Stab first and then by letters directed to
different parties, torn up and scattered pro
miscuously, for nearly two miles. A young
colored man, that suspicion pointed to, was
arrested and is now under bond awaiting
developments.
There were ho registered packages in the
pouch, and it is supposed that the thief got
nothing of value for his trouble.
Wilmington Presbytery.
The Presbytery of Wilmington met Wed
nesday last at Duplin Roads, Rev. Geo. W-
McMillan Moderator. There were present
seven ministers and ten ruling elders.
The principal object of the meeting was
to license Mr. Jno. D. Standf ord, of Duplin
county, to preach the gospel. His trial ser
mon before the Presbytery was satisfactory
and he was licensed after the usual form.
The Presbytery resolved to hold an ad
journed meeting at the First Presbyterian
Courch, this city, on Saturday before the
third Sabbath in December (the 19th), for
the purpose of receiving Rev. Peyton H.
Hoge from the Presbytery of East Hanover,
Virginia.
Wilmington cotton mills.
We heat that the Wilmington Cotton
Mills, which have been closed for several
months, will resume operations again early
next week. The management propose to
run off the cotton now on hand and in the
looms, which will require about a month's
time, after which they will turn their at
tention to the experiment of manufactu
ring yarn. The starting up of these mills
will give employment to quite a number of
operatives.

The Wilmineton Fox Club have a mag

Physician and nurse, principally among children.
She has especially studied the constitution and

this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained In
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has

Vast quantities of the Soothing Sttud are daily
