Europe had any thing else than a
Merry "Christmas. .The outlook is
most depressing " The universal com
plaint is hard times, and the gravest
issues are unsettled. In London there
is unmistakable distress. The Lon
don correspondent? of thevNew York
Times telegraphs on the 26th inst.:
"Any day during the past fortnight one
could see thousands, of faint and ragged
wretches prowling outside of the wharves,
each ready to fight the other in order to be
one of a score who. were admitted to a day's
work xor forty cents if a snip happened to
come in. jsvery where business is reported
to be worse than it was a year ago. It is
said that not a single Christmas fiublication
Jhas yielded a profit. At the London docks
less man one hair the quantity or wine has
oeen tasen out or bond that was taken out
last year. More tangible luxuries suffer in
the same way. .
It is more apparent now that Mr.
Gladstone can command the most of
his followers in his efforts to deal
with Ireland. Several of the leaders
have signified their willingness to ac
cept the reported plan of the great
leader. Mr. Chamberlain, the leader
of. the Radicals, it was thought,
would strike out f an : independent
plan and would. rrlut,iny against the
Gladstone policy", but he is becoming
more tractable, it is reported, since
he . felt his stiength. ' The London
correspondent of the i Newf -York
Times writes of Mr. . Chamberlain as
follows: ,. . ' -.
"A conversation has been reported to me
privately as occurring between him and an:
ex-Minister who went from Hawarden to
probe his intentions. He was extremely,
bitter, and swore he would revolt ... --
"How many members do you think
would follow you? ' asked his visitor. -
Jr "Sixty,' said Mr. Chamberlain. .
. "Hot six, .-was the answer. .
: "But all the country; victories were won
in my name. I was the one man whom the
new voters always cheered, , - , " " -
"Yes, your name was excellent with 1LtT
Gladstone as its endorser; but t would not
have been worth a rush without' it: Make
no mistake; inquire before you act."; r.

Weldon ffews: Several days
ago an affray occurred: in Northampton
county between James E.'Goode and Wm.
Wheeler, both white. It appears that the
difficulty occurred near 'Jackson, and is
said to have originated in the following
manner: Mr. Goode's cattle destroyed a"
quantity of fodder belonging to Mr.
Wheeler, for -which he thought Goode
ought to pay.: The two men met on a coun
ty road and had some words in reference
to the matter which finally led to a fight,
in which a pistol and a knife figured prom-,
inently. Goode is said to have been shot
twice by Wheeler, while the latter was ter
ribly cut by the former. At last accounts
it was thought that ' Wheeler was not in
danger, while Goode's wounds were of
such a serious character that if he recovers'
it is feared he will be a cripple for life. It
seems - that the only witness to the fight
.was a negro boy.

It is stated, in a recent number of the
Savannah Jfirica that a firm in London,
England, the largest colliery proprietors
and coal dealers in the world,'' are about
establishing an agency there for English'
coal, making Savannah a supply depot for
foreign steamships trading at South Atlan
tic and Gulf ports. The Savannah? paper
says the first cargo of 1,200 tons will be
brought over by August 1, 1886, and will
be followed by oihers as the trade de
velops. ,
Most people hereabouts are aware that
there are large deposits of bitumincfus coal
at the Egypt mines in Chatham county, '
and that during the late war quantities of
it were brought to Wilmington to supply
the fleet of blockade runners plyiog be
tween this port and Nassau, and for other
purposes. Why the coal is never seen hero
now, we are unable to say. It Is said to be an
excellent article of steam coal, and accord
ing to a report of a committee of Congress
made years ago, (so we are informed) is the
nearest to the Atlantic coast and the most
accessible ' of ' any . , deposit of v coal , fit
for steam vessels, in the scope ' of
country, from the SL Lawrence to the
Gulf of Mexico. This being so, why
should not Wilmington, or Smithville, be
made a coaling station for foreign steam
ships trading at South "Atlantic and Gulf
portswith great advantage over Savannah
or any other city on the coast ?
Christmas Tree. - " -
- The Sunday School teachers and mem
bers of Fifth Street; M. E. Church gave a
Christmas tree to the Sunday Schoolcho
lars at that, church on Monday night last.
There Was a large concourse present, and
the interest manifested by all showed their
appreciation, of the efforts thathad. been
made to please the recipients of this Christ
mas offering. " The exercises were opened
by the choir with the beautiful - Christmas
anthem, "The Wondrous Story." , Fol
lowing : this the . choir and children sang
with animation, and spirit 'Beautiful
Christinas."; At its conclusion the Rev.' D.t
Herndon .Tuttle presented' the Christmas
tree to the children in a neat and appropri
ate address, abounding in excellent thought
and advice both .to the young and the old.
At the conclusion ' of the address the pre
sents were distributed, much to the delight
of the little ones, who were extatic over
their good luck. It is pleasant to note also
that the pastor of the church and his esti
mable wife were not forgotten in the distri
bution of presents, they receiving many
souvenirs of the friendship and esteem in
which they are held by the people of this
church. . - . :
The Cold Wave Signal.
. - The fact that the cold wave signal was
not displayed here on two or three occa
sions wheiv people expected it, has been
commented upon. Gen."-Hazen, the chief
signal officer, in . relation to the matter,
says, in : a" letter to the Secretary of the
Chamber of. Commerce of Richmond, Va.,
"that orders to hoist the cold wave signal
are sent only when it is expected that there
will be a sudden and decided fall in tem
perature of - from fifteen to thirty degrees,
or more. The display of the signal is hot
ordered as atwarning of the gradual ap
proach of cold weather when the tempera
ture falls slowly and less than fifteen de
grees within a short period of time, for .the
reason that, in such cases, the gradual
change is sufficient to lead the public to
take the necessary precautions."
