Prohibition, denounced the editor and staff of the State newspaper. Mr. Beirne, the owner, addresses him a tetter, which appears in his paper, in which he says: "I would punish you Beverely for your offence. But, unhappily, you claim to be a representative of a calling that properly commands the respect of all good men, and one that from chilhood I have always held sacred. : Of the security of. your position you were fully aware when you uttered your slanders, and that position alone saves you from the punishment you so justly de serve." , Lord Spencer spoke at Newcastle on Wednesday. He said "there were two ways to deal with the Irish prob lem coercion and concession. The former is a dangerous means by which to restore order, but what then?" He said this, and it is worth quoting, as it comes from a man who had been Lord Lieutenant of Ire land: "The colleagues of Mr. Par nell," he said, "have real affection for their country, and their ability is un doubted. The taxpayers will incur no risk from the land scheme pro posed by Mr. Gladstone. The great body of the Irish people do not want separation, knowing it to be impossi ble, owing to the geographical posi tion of Ireland and the ties of blood 'and social and business relations ex isting between the people of Ireland and England. Mr.. Gladstone's pro-, posals would strengthen the union between the two countries." The New York Star is somewhat disgusted at thejword "chivalry" as used in the South. It is a noble word and has a meaning. Lee and Jack son and other Southern heroes have illustrated its meaning. Such men as Sheridan, Sherman and Logan could never understand its import. We agree with the Savannah Times in saying: "The chivalry of the South has always been her most characteristic mark, of dis tinction from the North, and let us hold on to it. In this iron age the landmarks of the old South are disappearing fast enough as it is, and it is to be hoped we will at least refuse to allow this one to be removed." Mr. Gladstone was married in 1839. Mrs. Gladstone's health is good, and she takes great care of her husband's health like the good wife she is. A sketch of her in the Phila delphia News says: ' . "An American who saw Mrs. Gladstone recently says her wifely, motherly expres sion of countenance suggests that she is a helpmeet indeed to her husband, This observer proceeds to say that the does not look older than American ladies cemmocly do at 50. Her hair is almost black, and her face is almost free from lines and wrin kles." And yet she has been married 47 years.

Raleigh Recorder : The Wil mington Stab is eighteen years old, and sparkles the brighter the older it becomes. The Raleigh Evening Visitor has entered upon its eighth year.' It looks like it "had come to stay." But few of the Raleigh dailies have had such a long life, it is now a Raleigh "institution" and long may it continue to be such.

Jasper Stowe, we learn, made a seiz ure of one hundred gallons of whiskey last . week in the lower part of Gaston county, which he placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff until it could be properly disposed of. But alas! the night after Col. Stowe captured the whiskey 'some men went to the deputy sheriffs house, called him out and presented an order signed in Col. Stowe 's name for the immediate de livery of the whiskey. Next morning it was found that the order was a forgery, but it was too late. Charlotte Observer: For the ben efit of the mining men of this section of the country, we-make the statement that the Charlotte assay office has lately been vested with authority from the Government to make assays of gold ores for all parties de siring such work. There was a con siderable gathering of railroad officials in this city yesterday, the object being a con ference in relation to the approaching work of changing the gauge of the various lines centering in Charlotte. The shipment of gold from the assay office last week was $9,000, making a shipment of $16,500 in two weeks. We learn that Miss Mag gie Cline, dnughter of a respectable citizen of Cabarrus county, has become insane, and efforts are being made to secure her admit tance to an asylum for treatment. The case is a sad one. Mr. Cline owns a vicious bull, which has the liberty of a pasture and a few days ago the young lady was going through the pasture, when the bull gave her chase and ran her across the field. The animal came very near overtaking her, and such was the shock to her nerves experi enced by fright over the occurrence that her mind gave way. Washington dot: Senator Ransom has not returned. .

The position is an honorable and responsible one, although its duties are by no means burdensome. The churches thus committed to the care of Bishop , Lyman are those of Paris, Geneva, Dresden, Nice, Florence and Rome, with any others which, under bis guidance, may be established. The con gregations are composed of Americans either resident abroad or sojourning there for a season. i TE3I3 CITY, , MtW AlVEK-riSKMC!V r- H. McL. Gbken For sale. MuNSos Ready-made clothing. G. W.

Treasury Department, through the Bureau of Statistics, is collecting sta tistical information relative to the Southern States. At the request of Rev. C. H. Wi ley, of Winston, N. C, who has been ap pointed by the Department to collect infor mation about North Carolina. Mr. C. H. Robinson, Collector of Customs, has had a number of statements prepared . relative to the port of Wilmington. Among other interesting information the following com-r parative statement, compiled from the re cords of the Custom House, the Produce Exchange, and other reliable sources, ex. hibits the value of imports, and exports of State products and manufactures, at this port for the years 1875, 1880, and 1885, which years are taken -as points for com parison: - 1875 Tonnage, foreign and domestic, 211,281; value of foreign imports, $154, 012; value of domestic exports, $3,275,815; value of foreign exports, $2,182,133; total value of exports, $5,457,948. 1880 Tonnage, foreign and domestic, 176,595; value of foreign imports, $116,413; value of domestic exports, $3,431,760; value of foreign exports, $3,720,557; total value of exports, $7,152,317. 1885 Tonnage, foreign and domestic 172,230; value of foreign imports. $125,591; value of domestic exports, $641,490; value of foreign exports, $4,489,237; total value of exports, $5,130,727. There is no way of ascertaining the do mestic imports or the products and manu factures of other States received here. The value of importations of foreign goods averages about the same. While there ap pears a large decrease in alue of domestic exports, orState product shipped to points within tho United States, as compared with 1875, there is almost as large an increase in value of exports to foreign countries. When the totals are compared, and the decline in values of commodities shipped hence are considered, it is evident that whatever the changes in the character and direction of our trade, Wilmington is here shown to be holding well ber own. It is to be remarked that neither the pro ducts nor shipments out of the State by;the Navassa Guano Co. and the Acme Manu facturing Co., which are in fact Wil mington enterprises, though shipping from points a few miles distant, are included in the above comparative statement. A Day's Sport at Orton. Two gentlemen of the city who went to Orton recently for a day's sport happened with a mishap which they tried to sup press, but it leaked out yesterday. They procured a boat, and a darkey to steer and paddle, and started out with rods and reels expecting a fine "catch." In a short time one of them "got a nibble," and in his eagerness to secure the fish managed to up set the boat; They were not far from shore and would have succeeded in reach ing it without trouble but one of the trio suggested that, the pond was full of alliga tors, and a sudden panic seized them at the sight of an old log which they mistook for an enormous 'gator. There is no telling what might have become of the party, but fortunately later in the day their, cries for help brought 'assistance.' . The rescuers found them perched in trees growing In the water a few feet from land, wet, cold, hun gry and disconsolate. How or why they took refuge in the trees they were unable or unwilling to tell. But the 'story reached town shortly after they returned. It must have been pumped out of the wet darkey. Personal. The term of the Superior Court for this county which closed Thursday last, was an interesting 'and laborious session, many cases being disposed Of. - Judge Gilmer, who presided, gave the utmost satisfaction.

Ma Editor .As an act of justice to the Seamen's Friends Society of this port, will you- please publish the following statement of its management and work: In the Charleston News and Courier, un der date of 15th of April, 1886, a corres pondent of that paper, over the signature of John A. Moroso, in writing of "Wilming ton. N. C. : Its History, Business and Fu ture," &c, does great injustice to the Sea men's Friends Society of this port, being led into the same, we suppose, from a want of proper investigation or from information incorrectly given when he states that "The Home does not seen: to be a success. There ia a Chaplain with a salary of $400 per an nua), but this is about all." This would imply that nothing is being done by the Chaplain, and still less at the Home. "The Society was instituted to improve the social, moral and religious condition of the seamen and as a means to secure these ends a board ing house or home was erected and is under the general management of the Society, where seamen shall be properly cared for and attended, and a mariners' church, in which the teachings and ministrations of the Gospel shall be secured." It will thus be seen the Home was to be a seamen's boarding house where they could be free from the temptations of the ordi nary sailor's boarding house', and be properly cared for. This is now its present .character. Seamen are admitted and cared for, and provided with good and whole some food at a moderate board, the price for lodging being 25 cents, and for board by the single day $l;by the week $6 for board and lodging. " All seamen who come into port shipwrecked and destitute are cared for at the Heme at the expense of the Society until such time as they can reship. There is perfect order and quiet in the Home, and it is cleanly and neat through out. We invite any of our citizens to an inspection of the premises. It was not con templated to make the Home a free house for seamen, and the Society could not do so if it wished in its present financial status. Being used as an hospital by both the Con federate and Federal forces during the late war, the Home lost all its furniture and library, and it has been struggling ever since for an existence and to supply the calls upon it. The old building being un safe and nnsuited it was taken down and the present building erected, which has left the Society in debt But with all its embar rassments and all its financial difficulties It has never failed to provide a home and a refuge for any sailor who has been wreck ed on our coast and applied at its doors, but has given him food and lodging, and in some instances pecuniary aid. It has always provided comfortable quarters for seamen and their wives. It has been the "Home" from which the dead could be buried and the last rites be "done decent ly and in order." Such is some of its work and if not more of a success it is owing to its want of more patronage and the outside influences of the houses of the "Paddy Hollow" stripe where poor Jack is filled with whiskey and despoiled of his hard earned wages. It is easy to censure others and we would earnestly ask all who are so inclined to come and cooperate with us in our efforts to make the Home more of a success than it is or has been. So care ful have the Board of Trustees been to keep temptation away from all Bailors lodging or boarding at the Home that they have rented the stores in the building as warehouses at half the rental they could have obtained had they allowed them to be used for the aale of wines and liquors. - The chaplain holds services in the Bethel or Chapel every Sabbath morning and even ing and a special service at the Marine Hos pital, besides holding a weekly prayer meeting, and it would surprise many of our citizens if they would drop In "at these meetings and see the class of people who attend them, besides the seamen. Many hear Uhe Word here who are out of the in fluence of our city churches. It is but recently that some of the trustees, aided by their friends and the Rev. Mr. Peschau and Rev. Daniel Kelley, the chaplain, have purchased an organ and added it to the per manent furniture of the Bethel. The Bethel is kept clean and neat and good order and decorum are maintained at all its services. In addition to this work the Chaplain makes daily or frequent visits to the Marine Hospital, talking with the sick, ministering to tbe dying and burying the dead. He is a frequent visitor aboard all vessels which come into our port, talking with- the men where he can converse in their tongue or distributing printed matter where they are foreign. What the results of ' our work have been we know not, but with, the ltmited means at our disposal we have used our best judgment in the management of the institution and to keep alive a charity . tbe moral influence of which has been no detriment to our port or to the seamen who have lodged under its roof or been brought within its influence, and we most earnestly andjcordially invite to our aid and encouragement all of our citizens who feel an interest or a pride in this charity .to assist in extending its use fulness and its influence, and we do not feel that we should be silent under this charge which is a reflection upon the So ciety and its Board -of Trustees and a gross injustice to the Chaplain at this port, and whichis calculated to injure the Society in places outside. We earnestly request the co operation of all classes . of our citizens to" assist us-to free It from its debt and at the z,? :"v ' T- V WHOLK- NO.

WINSLOW T As this question Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti ringlv devoted her time and talents as a female Physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth ing. It operates like magic giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to -regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins low Is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of her race; children certainly do bisb up and bless her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are dally sold and used here. We think Mrs. winslow has immortalized her name by this invaluable arti cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely ase, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed. No Mother has discharged her duty to herjsuffer tng little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup Try it, mothers tet rr vow.
