A cablegram from London to the New York Herald says' English statesmen unanimously approve, of President Cleveland's course in the KeUey affair. : '' 21 There is much excitement in Ire land over the supposed plan of Mr. Gladstone, and English politicians are sorely perplexed what to do with the Irish elephant. In Washington the other day fourteen hundred children had a Christmas dinner all together. The daughters of the rich waited on the children of the poor. John W. Daniel is accused with being "stuck up.' But this is not his character. But if "stuck np",he . would have the advantage of some , who are "stuck up" and about noth- ing. Daniel has brains. k Koasting negro ra vis hers by a slow fire is the latest Alabama ex-. ample of mob violence. It is a downward grade. The next will be to pull out toe-nails with hot 'pinchers before burning. 1 he London papers take a very favorable view of the attitude of the Cleveland Administration in the VOL..XXXVII.-NO. JtLeiiey case. We are glad to see that our kin beyond sea are looking at the matter from a liberal and just point. The latest Washington specula tion as to silver is that there will be a probable compromise. It is confi dently asserted that unless this 'oc curs there will be bitter,; opposition to the Administration and legisla tion is certain to be obstructed. A. dispatch of the 28th inst. says that several leading Democratic Repre sentatives have been counselling and have been trying to devise a compro mise plan. The dispatch says: "Sneaker Carlisle has had several inter-. views with the President, whom he nods well disposed to treat the convictions of the extreme silver men with fair considera tion. The Speaker finding the President so well disposed suggested that a compro mise of some kind be agreed upon, to which the President heartily assented. It is now generally understood tbat shortly after the convening of. Congress a joint caucus of tne Democratic Senators and Representatives will be held for the pur pose of adjusting this matter u possible. Among the plans proposed is the passage of a bill to limit the coinage of silver to say $350,000, OOO.and then to leave it discre tionary with the President whetner that amount shall be increased. "Another plan was proposed, namely, to issue certificates of the denominations or ones, twos and fives, based either on bullion or coined dollars in the Treasury. The idea of this compromise is for the purpose of conciliating the conviction of extreme sil ver men and give them an opportunity of preserving their political status with their constituents. The members who have this matter in charge feel very hopeful that a settlement of this kind will qe agreed upon as much from party considerations as for any other reasons." Harper's Ferry, bo famous in John Brown times, whose soul went march ing on from a gallows not - far from that place,and where Stonewall Jack son thrashed the Yankees and cap tured nearly 12,000 of them, is to be built up.

New Bern Journal: Bishop Watson preached Christmas day at Christ Church, and on Sunday at Bt. uyprians, ad ministering the H61y Communion at each of these services. On Sunday night he was at Christ Church on his regular visitation, preached to a large congregation and con firmed a class of eight persons. The Bishop is endowed with an energy possessed by but few, and although apparently a ieeble man, yet is aconstant worker, and is accompiisn ing much good in parts of his diocese here tofore inaccessible to .Episcopal visitations. Newton Enterprise; We have heard two rumors this week with regard to the Narrow Gauge Kailroad, whicn we give for what they are worth and await tuture developments, nrsi, mat me pas senger traffic is sa large that another train will oe put on me roau eariy in January for passengers alone. Second, that in a very short-time the Narrow Gauge road, from Newton up, will pass into the hands of the Western road, making Newton the terminus of the Narrow Gauge, The third rail between Newton and Hickory will then be taken up, and the road from Hick ory to Lenoir changed to broad gauge. Mobile Register : Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, at the corner of La fayette street and Spring Hill road, died Col. F. S. Blount, one of the best known citizens of this place. He was a man of deep thought, learned and brilliant in men tal attainments, and throughout a long and varied experience, manifested great energy and enterprise in the practice of his profes sion as a lawyer. Frederick Spaight Blount was born in New Bern, jtf. C, on the 13th of November, 1805. He was the eldest son of Dr. Frederick Blount, an eminent phy sician of tbat town, His grandson, James Blount, was a colonel in the Revolutionary Armv. His mother was-the daughter of John Heritage: also a colonel in the Revo lutionary. Army of the North Caroline line. -- Charlotte Democrat: We are nle&aed to learn that Dr. Johnstone B. Jones, who recently - suffered a stroke of naralvsis. is much better. Although con siderably advanced in years, hopes are en tertained for his full recovery. We learn that Col. Wm. R. - Myers, of this eitv. recently sold to Mr. Baxter H.

WILMINGTON, are now selling to country people formulas for making fertilizers or manure. One of the formulas was sent to Dr. Dabney. State Chemist at Raleigh, by a gentleman living in Robeson county, and he pronounces it worthless. Why will people continue to , be. swindled ,by peddlers ana travelling frauds of all -sorts ? . Borne cases in the U. 8. Court here last week showed the great importance of administrators and ex ecutors giving proper notice to claimants and debtors to present their claims within proper time, and also: the : importance of settling up estates as soon as possible and having the matter recorded on the Superior Court Clerk's books. Procrastination is not only a thief of time, but also ruinous to the estates of living and dead men and women. 1 Raleigh News- Observer: Died, suddenly, at the home of his father, Rich ard H. Smith, Esq., at Scotland JSeck, jx. C, Weldon Smith, in the 85th year of his age. Mx. bmitn was educated at me uni versity of Virginia, and afterwards at a medical college in Baltimore. The negro man who stole the bay mare at Dur ham last week .was not named Jack Wilkus, as he at first stated, but Charles King. Yes terday he was before Caleb B. Green, Esq., at Durham, and was committed to laii in default of bail. There was a rumor current here yesterday that five men drop ped dead at Durham yesterday morning. A reporter interviewed a gentleman from Durham and was told that two men did die there in that manner. One was a laborer named Stinson. He lived about a mile from Durham. He had been drinking and died very suddenly. The other man was named Johnson. He died in the mar ket house. Oxford, N. C. Dec. 26. We have just completed the distribution of Christmas presents to the children of the asylum. Old Kris Kringle was present in all his glory. The presents to the children were numerous and very pretty, and llnink the little ones of the asylum are to-day the happiest of any in the State." In their be half I return thanks to the good people of our State who contributed to our Christmas festivities. B. F. Drxox. Charlotte Observer; A colored man named Pride Jones celebrated Christ mas by waylaying and severely beating a crippled old colored man against whom he had a grudge. Justice McJS inch sent Jones to the chain gang for forty days. Mr. Thomas Allison, the depot telegraph ope rator, whose residence was - robbed a few nights since, was very generously remem bered by the depot boys on Christmas day, when they presented him with a purse of money. George Gray, colored, at tracted some attention as he was led through the streets to the jail by an officer yester day, handcuffed and with blood trickling from a wound on his head, George was sent to jail for having assaulted a colored preacher with a horsewhip and for having shown a contempt for the magistrate's court. The preacher assaulted was Rev. Isaac Jones. Last Saturday morniog Mr. H. D. Howard, of Denver, Lincoln county, arnved in the city bringing a bad looking eye for George W. Graham to operate upon. Mr. Howard was out with a party of men hunting Christmas day, and was tramping around a brush heap on the alert for a rabbit which was concealed therein. A young man was standing on top of the pile, gun in hand, also watching for the rabbit. At length the rabbit ran out and the young man on top blazed away at the cotton tail, but with poor effect, for instead of killing the rabbit, he brought down Mr. Howard-, who was struck in the face by three shot, two of which entered his head through the left eye ball and the third buried itself in his nose. The shot went in deep and are beyond the reach of a probe- Mr. Howard's eye is in a bad con dition, the sight being destroyed, and the probabilities are that the injured eye ball may yet have to be extracted by the sur geon s knife.

A Sunken Flat. ' '' A flat laden with about ten cords of black-jack wood sank in the river off Prin cess street dock Tuesday night. Yesterday morning a steam dredge was employed to search for and raise it, but the sunken fiat could not be found. It had probably drifted with the tide.

Extensive , additions are being made to the plant of the Carolina Oil and Creosote Company, at the Works situated at the foot of Dawson street. A new creosoting cylin der, made of steel, eighty-five feet long and six feet in diameter, has been put in posi tion. Its weight .is fifty thousand pounds. This cylinder with the one already in use will more than double the former capacity of tbe works for treating -timber. In addi tion to this, two large iron oil-tanks with a capacity of eight hundred barrels have been put in, and new patent charring cylinders, a great improvement on those formerly in use. It is expected that the works will soon be in readiness for the treatment of timber to fill contracts already in hand. The Com pany have been asked to give estimates on large contracts for treated wood blocks for street pavements, wharf lumber and piling for shipment to South America, besides an inquiry for one million creosoted railroad ties, also for foreign shipment. The active operation of these works will be a great stimulus to the timber and lum ber trade of Wilmington, affording mill men and land owners a ready market for their sap-timber, which heretofore has had little or no market value, and bf which there is such an abundance in this and ad joining counties.- . - New Tear Holidays.

The following are the indications for to day: For the South Atlantic States, local rains followed by fair weather, winds gen erally shifting to south and west, rising, followed in the east portions by falling ba rometer, slightly colder weather, and ex cept in the extreme northeastern portion stationary temperature. For the MiddleAtlantic States, local rains, winds generally from south to west, slightly rising, followed by falling temper ature during Thursday night and generally lower barometer. English Sparrows. English sparrows, that were introduced here a few years ago, but by whom we know not, seem to have increased largely; small flocks of them can be seen in almost every quarter of the city. In other cities and towns, where they-are more numerous, they are considered a great nnisaace, and the bird is generally under the ban. It drives away native birds, destroys fruit and grain, and is: disagreeable in every way. They ought to be exterminated.and it is not too soon to begin work atjonce. American ornithologists' union has The col- ected evidence from all parts of the coun try where the English sparrow occurs, and has published a report based upon their investigations. They have urged that laws be passed against it, looking to its entire extermination. Acting', upon this advice and upon experience with the past, several States have repealed their protective laws forlts protection. The union in its report says: "In regard to a means of destruction, le- every State offer a small bounty for birds and eggs, and the small boys will do the work. Birds are very quick at seeing whether or not they are wanted. If they are persecuted, they instinctively draw away from man; as in the case of the crow. We may not be able to entirely rid our selves of the pest, but we can at least suc ceed in driving them-away from the cities: and once get them into the country, where tney can be taugnt to fear the shot-gun, and we shall have them at least under our control. They can be driven away from the cities if 'their nests are demolished as soon as made, and' if all the bird-houses are removed. A careful use of poison might also work with advantage, and in the large parks the shot-gun in the hands of competent men could be brought into use. ' RIVER AND 1S1BINE. The seacoast telegraph line continues down, so that no information can be re ceived of the storm on the North Carolina coast along the beach, between Cape Henry and Currituck.
