Uorthe Carolina gets $3,600 of the
S!atf-r fdccational fund for the next
Hchul.-iBtie year.
John A. Henry, a printer, is a new
Anarchist leader at Chicago. Why
.can his ''form" not be "locked up?"
The Baltimore Theatres, with the
exception of Ford's Opera House,
are all down to 25 cents for Grst
floor.
Gen. Gordon was nor allowed a
fair showing at Augusta. But he
will probably get the nomination all
the same.
Sundry papers that favor the Blair
Educational grab are constantly re
ferring to the Blair Pension "grab.
Thev are both well named.
The Lords nay they will amend the
Home Rule out of shape when it
cornea to them. There is music in
.the air. Is it a drum and fife?
Senator Kenna says he is not
pleased with the workings of the
Oivil Service humbug reform, so-
oalle.f. What good, true Democrats
can be?
It is claimed that Chicago has
6,000 Anarchists. There are probably
50,000 in the Union. If the Ameri
can pfjl. nhouhl get down right
mad sorn day they would make short
work el' i !u' biiwwiy scoundrels.
Tli- ,irf .me i-eople who are de-
lightrxi w l.en thy hear of the pres
ent. AJini'iifirution appointing a Re
public m j io tin '-inter, and they do
not tall tiemn-iv-ea Republicans
either. Immensely Tunny f Ha! ha!
vOur Methodist friends in the Gen
eral Conference ar much wedded to
their name, and especially that absurd
and ungrammatical suffix -"South."
The advocates of the. change ought
to insist upon the parsing. of the
name by the men who favor its re
tention.
The Charleston .News and Courier
says of Bishop Duncan:
"In 1877. he was elected to succeed his
brother, Dr. James A. Duncan, as President
of Randolph Macon College, Va., but de
clined the honor to hold his position in
Woffqrd College. Bishop Duncan is of
fine presence, of winning address and of
very popular manners. He is an able
preacher, a cultivated professor, and as
financial secretary of Wofford College has
.attained distinction as a man of excellent
judgment and great financial skill."
The Kentuckians eeem capable of
making themselves silly over every
Penutsylvanian Protectionist that vis
its that State. They hurrahed over
Randall, and are now hurrahing over
old Simon Cameron, one of.the most
vicious of American politicians du
ring the most corrupt era of Ameri
can politics. The idea of any South
ern people making a demonstration
over a corrupt old South hater like old
Simon Magus of Pennsylvania.
Major Bacon, at Sparta, told Gen.
Gordon that he lied, but there will be
no duel. Gen. G. is a member of the
Presbyterian church. Here is what
provoked it, as telegraphed to the
New York World;
"Yesterday the candidates met in Sparta,
where Gen. Gonion repeated the charge
that Major Bacon had left his place in tha
army, acd then, referring ro the charge
that he (Gordon) had resigned from Xbe
3euate under suspicious circamstances,

said: 'There was a time when I did not re
sign. There is a record that is unsullied,
even in the estimation of the reutleman
who has tried to blacken my name before
you. It was made in a time that I didn't
resign, for my country needed me.' Turn
ing to Major Bacon, who was sitting beside
him, Gen. Gordon said, 'I will be elected
and make you sicker than yon were in
1862.'"
Mr. Gladstone has received pledges
from 220 members to vote for second
reading of the bill. These can be
relied on. Add 86 Irish Nationalists
and the total is 306 or twenty short
of a majority. Mr. O'Connor, M.
P., cables from London on the 19th
to the New York Star:
'Mr. Gladstone still favors a dissolution
rather than risk a defeat in committee with
a narrow majority. Reports are again cur
rent, on the other hand, that he will be
satisfied for the present with the affirma
tion of the principle of the bill, and go no
further with it this year, but proceed with
English and Scotch business, which is
greatly in arrear. Receive such reports
with caution.
"Hartington's speech yesterday is re
garded in the House as having completed
the work begun by the Marquis of Salis
bury. It was to many a complete surprise.
Probably no one in the country was more
astounded than Mr. Chamberlain. Two
days before the Barnes of Uartington and
Chamberlain were linked together as the
coming leaders of a coalition Ministry.
Now Hartinoton declares against any form
of home rule, and puts his supposed friend
and ally m a peculiarly awkward position.
The gifted Laboochere made a
speech in the British House in which
he used his abounding wit and sar
casm against Chamberlain and "the
rebellion" in Ulster. A cablegram
to the New York World says of his
speech:
"He then defended ;Mr. Darnell's course
during the entire Parliamentary campaign,
and praised highly the Protestant leader's
sagacity and statesmanship. As to the as
sertion that had olten been made in tne
House, to the effect that Mr. Parncll would
be satisfied with nothing short of separa
tion, he said that in this the Irish leader
had acted very wisely, since in cases of
countries or parties almost at war the inva
riable practice was to ask for more than
would necessarily be given. His parting
shot was a parody of a sentence in one of
Mr. Chamberlains recent speeches: 'Can
anything be considered more atrocious than
that a large Catholic population be sub
jected to the rule of such gentlemen as the
Orange body sent over here?' This elicited
roars of laughter from the entire House."

trict may safely be entrusted to his hands
another term, and deservingly so.
- Raleigh News- Observer: Tele
grams received here Tuesday, in regard to

they are local optionists, are being "boy
cotted by the liquor dealers. A me
dium sized negro boy was brought to this
city and lodged in jail charged with the
offence of throwing s heavy stone at the A.
& N. C. passenger train at Herring's cross
ing, a few miles east of this city, on Mon
day.
- layetteville Observer-Gazette:
Mr. John S. Gibson, a native of Fayette
ville, but who has for some years been
pushing his fortunes in the West Arkansas
has, we are glad to know, not only
achieved success in a business point of
view, but has made many friends among
the people with whom his lot has been cast,
and has been chosen as the candidate for
the Legislature in Lawrence county, Ark.
Newton Enterprise: A negro
who was employed at Mr. Jacob Carpen
ter's saw mill, in Lincoln county, last week
had a pistol in his possession which he
wished to conceal from his employer, and
in order to do so slipped it in his boot leg,
muzzle up. When he went to take it out
again the hammer caught and the pistol
was discharged. The ball passed through
the scrotum and buried itself in his shoul
der.
Charlotte Chronicle: One span
of the Yadkin river bridge has been swept
away, and also Coddle Creek bridge, on the
R. & D. Railroad. On the Air-Line road
a bridge at Spartanburg was washed away
and there was a washout at Black Creek.
Trains on the C, C. & A. road are also de
tained from causes produced by the recent
heavy rains. Owing to the great
damage along the line of the R. & D. road,
and the break in the transmission of mail
matter, a telegram was received in this city
this morning instructing all mail for the
Northern and Eastern states to be sent by
the Carolina Central via Hamlet.
Dallas Current: George Detter,
our popular mechanic, while hewing a
tennon on last Wednesday with a foot adze,
cut his right knee severely. We have
an inventive genius in the person of J. H.
Faulkner. He has patented a new iron
foot plow, a subsoil attachment, which has
broken the soil at the depth of twelve
inches with a common pony attached to the
plow; a motor power with which you can
run a sewing machine any number of
hours, start or stop it at will, and regulate
the speed to suit the operator, and also a
belt preparation that has been pronounced
a superior article by some eminent ma
chinists.
Fayetteville News : Mr. Robt
Strange just in off the Wilson Short Cut
says that the reported strike on the road
must have been at the other end of the line.
The Evening News has decided to be
read five evenings in the week, so we make
our beginning to-day. -.-r-fflr. V. o
Owens tells us that one of the hounds taken
to Georgia in a pack by Mr. W. R. Mc
Duffle, made his way back to Keyser, over
land and alone. The wagons which he
followed were fourteen days reaching the
turpentine woods or ueorgia. wnen tne
dog left for North Carolina he made the trip
in four days, the distance being sou miles.
When he reached his old home he could
not jump the fence, and he had to be helped
over. His limbs were stiff.
Durham Recorder: We learn
from Mr. J. S. Manning, chairman of the
Executive Committee of this judicial dis
trict, that all but one of the committee
favor holding the convention at this place.
The convention will be called to meet in
Durham the day before the State Conven
tion, which meets in Raleigh the 25th of
August. Why not hold the Congression
al Convention here also the same dav?
We learn from J. R. Patton, who has
just returned from a trip to Alamance, that
the cyclone a few days ago, did great dam
age to the people who were in its track,
The track was about one mile wide. It
entered Alamance in the direction of Reids
ville, at the upper edge of Morton's town
ship, thence in a southeasterly direction by
Haw river, Kerr's mill, and on to Morrow's
mill ia Orange county. The wheat and
clover fields were beat as clean as they were
last Decemb'.r The chickens and sheep
were killed . The gardens, fruit trees, &c,
were ruined Tne hail-stonea ranged in
size from that of a ben egg to as large as a
goose cg. There are no tobacco plants
left where the cyclone, passed. The dam
age to the property cannot be estimated.
The whole crop is last and every window
broken out,
- Charlotte Observer: The Char
lotte bound passenger train on the Rich
mond & Danville Road crossed the Yadkin
bridge yesterday at noon. The train had
scarcely disappeared in the distance when
the bridge went down. The passenger
coaches were crowded, and when the train
reached Salisbury and the passengers heard
that the bridge had fallen behind them,
they felt like they had been sentenced to be
banged but had received a respite. It was
a narrow escape. Acres upon acres of
growing crops have been ruined, railroad
property to the extent of thousands of dol
lars has been swept away, and the end is
not yet, as vast milling interests along the
banks of the Catawba are in peril. The
story of the storm is a gloomy one, for
aside from the destruction of railroad pro
perty, there is in this section scarcely a far
mer who is not a sufferer by the flood.
rom the best information that can be ob
tained, it aonears that the storm was not
general, but was confined to comparatively
a small territory. The rainfall was heaviest
in Mecklenburg. Gaston, Lincoln, Cleve
land, Rutherford and -Catawba counties,
but heaviest of all in Mecklenburg.
The news from the Catawba received
ate last evening was of an alarming char
acter, and parties in this city who own
milling interests along that stream were
filled with feelings of uneasiness. Later, a
second dispatch was received stating that
McAden's bridge at the factory had gone
down, and that the Air Line railroad bridge
was in great peril. The Catawba was still
rising at dark. There will bo no more
calls for Tom Ellis, the favorite old carriage
driver, for he has hauled his last passen
ger, shut his carriage door and cast down
the lines forever. He died yesterday morn
ing at 1 o'clock, after a very sudden and
brief attack of inflammation of the brain.

Crops in Brunswick.
A letter from a subscriber at Winnebow
P. O., Brunswict county, complains of the
dry and cool weather prevailing in that
section. Crops are backward; cotton, was
planted late and is not up yet: corn is,very
small. The prospect for farmers is rather
a gloomy one.
MAY 22. 1886.
OPERA HOUSE.
Pinafore.
Every time we think of last night's per
formance of "Pinafore," by the Bijou Opera
Company, most pleasant recollections are
brought to our mind. Under the enchant
ing spell of sweet music the audience were
rapturous, and when Miss Randall sang all
burst forth into tumultuous applause, thus
attesting their appreciation of her enchant
ing voice.
There are no passages in the opera that
can fail to satisfy all reasonable demands as
to feeling and finish, and the manner in
which it was presented made it most attrac
tive. The Bell Trio was most charmingly
rendered, and was encored repeatedly.
The "Man-o'-War's Song," a solo by
Mr. Flint, received many compliments, as
alto did Little Buttercup's song, by Miss
Chester.
The amateurs, who were kind enough to
lend their assistance last night, were par
ticularly noticeable for the clever manner
in which they went through their parts.
There was a large crowd present last
night and all were delighted with the per
formance, showing their delight in no un
certain manner.
The Bijou Opera Company have made
much reputation and many friends in our
city, and will always be gladly welcomed
here.
Tne Carolina Central.
The recent heavy rains in the up-coun
try caused but little damage to the Carolina
Central Railroad. Six miles east of Shelby
there was a wash out, but it was speedily
repaired and did not delay trains. Yester
day morning the Pee Dee river was very
threatening, the water being within five
feet of the Sherman freshet, but the high
water began to subside at 11 o'clock. The
Carolina Central ia the only road now run
ning into Charlotte without interruption,
travel being impeded on all the other roadi
centering there. It will take some days to
repair the damage on the Air Line and
Richmond & Danville roads.JAn entire span
of the bridge over the Catawba river on the
North Carolina road was completely swept
away. Passengers from the South arriving
in Charlotte over the Richmond & Danville
road are now taken by the Carolina Central,
Raleigh & Augusta and Raleigh & Gaston
roads to Weldon, at which point they strike
the Atlantic Coast Lice for the North.
Hog Cholera.
Sheriff Taylor, of Brunswick county,
says, concerning this complaint, prevailing
in many sections:
"There is nothing that I have ever tried
that will cure after hogs take the disease;
but there is a preventive. Tar, grease and
sulphur mixed together and applied to the
hogs every three or four weeks, will pre
vent any disease. Give them sulphur and
copperas in meal and water or slops, while
raising them, occasionally, will keep hogs
clear or worms, and cause them to thrive.
Put spirits of turpentine on the corn fed
to them every two weeks; apply tar,
grease and sulphur on one side of an ear
of corn and let the hogs eat it; it is good
for them. If persons raising hogs will
apply all the above preventives regularly,
from the time they are pigs, we will hear
no more complaint about hog cholera.
From Smlthvllle.
Rev. W. A. Forbes came up from
Smithville yesterday, on his return to Mag
nolia. He says that the religious interest
awakened injSmithville has spread through
out the community, and the meetings are
still going on with increased fervor. There
have been about seventy-five conversions,
and among the number many leading , citi
zens of the place. The meetings have
been conducted by the Rev. Mr. McFar-
land, assisted by Rev. Mr. Forbes, Rev.
Mr. Loving and Rev. Mr. Ferguson, of
the M. E. Church, and Rev. Mr. Cohen, of
the Baptist Church in Smithville.
Base Ball. i
It seems that the Columbia correspondent
of the News and Courier was a little too
hasty in the statement that the Columbia
Club had given up the idea of visiting this
city. We saw a letter yesterday from the
secretary of the Columbia nine, stating that
their team would visit Wilmington and
play on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of June.
Blackfish Excursion.
The excursion yesterday to the Blackfish
grounds on the steamer Italian was a great

say that they had fine sport and spent a de
lightful day, although the sea was very
rough.

wife with what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the child, as she was strongly in
