North Carolina ; Democrats are strong believers in genuine reform in the civil service of the country. They show that every day t by anxiously pleading with the Administration, to turn out the last Republican in office. Rear Admiral Ammen, Federal, wntes a long article for the New York Star on Jefferson; Davis, and it is kindly in tone. The Star says: "To those who have only Been! the now aged chief of the defunct Confederacy painted black, it win probably be a surprise to find him kindly spoken of by a distin guished commander on the Union side. No one will, however, venture to question the loyalty of the admiral. . The editor who' does not know that the Democrats of North Carolina are in favor of turning out aU Republi can offia ials and putting in honeBt qualified, faithful Democrats, would probably have remained in the Ark until it rotted over his head in the full belief that it was. still raining and that ihe flood' was booming. .

Dynamite ; . works near ' Chicago were blown up by a bolt of lightning. It was felt for miles. One was killed, eight ror ten wounded, and three slightly injured. Hundreds of win dows were smashed. -, Here is a part of a graphic description in the New York World, telegraphed from Chi cago: : . "About that time John Kann.' a voun? farmer, from Auburn station stoDned at McLarney Bros. : grocery and saloon to avoid the drenching rain. He had two stout horses attached to his heavy farm wagon and was bound for home. When the heaviest gust of rain slacked up, seem ingly subsiding into a regulation all-dav drizzle, the farmer wrapped himself in a norse blanket and started his team on a jog trot down the road. "Suddenly one of the electric flashes was followed by a terrific crash, as if the earth had been cleft asunder by some unknown gigantic force. It was the death-knell of the lone traveller in Archer avenue. Rocks were hurled through the air, trees rent to the roots, fences blown down for miles, houses unroofed and reduced to splinters, and torrents of mud showered around for hundreds of yards. v The terrific forca of the explosion made the. thunder of heaven appeai insignificant. The powder maga zine of Iiamn & Kand had been struck by lightning, and 1.500 pounds of dynamite and 3,000 pounds of powder went up, crea ting havoc as if old Vulcan had split the earth from within his subterranean abode. "The young farmer and his team had vanished in the midst of the scene of de vastation. Mr. Kann was hurled through' the air for a distance of over 100 feet, his mangled body being found half an hour later. His clothes' were blown from his body, except a few shreds which clung to his lower limbs. He was lying at the county hospital last night in a dying condi - uon - ine doctors said they could not keep him alive longer than to-day, and that . by hypodermic injections. Few traces of the wagon could be found; it was almost liter-. ally swept from the face of the earth. The horse on the side next the magazine was killed instantly and both horses were strip-: ped of their harness." The Chicago Neios makes the fol- owing remark: : ' - "The season of the year approaches when Jeff Davis is wont to address rebel cattle shows in Missouri and, other alien States." - Doubtless you would like to have the Southern States "alien," but they are back without any thanks to Rad icalism. Once more t they are in the Union and they will yet help thrash Illinois for attempting to secede and break up the Union. ; Envoy Sedgwick, sent to Mexico by Secretary Bayard, turns out to have' been another unfortunate selec tion, lie seems to have been on a big drunk and to have indulged in riotous : orgies with the capital's gilded youth such as to make pa triots blush: The New York papers have ferreted out the performance, which is most discreditable to all concerned. Mr. Bayard had not heard of it, but the newspapers have. Spirits Turpentine. Miss Rosa Harris has . been elected principal of Louisburg Female Col lege. Thfi Reverend Mr. R.

Henderson Gold Leaf: Many of our farmers are now busy curing tobac co. From present indications there will be , no lack of colory goods in the new crop an abundance of cutters and smokers at any rate. ..Commenting on Gov. Jarvis's attitude on Prohibition , the Statesville Landmark says: "A man who has a capa city of a- quart a day has a perfect right to be a Prohibitionist if he wants to, but he is in danger of bringing himself into public contempt when he becomes noisy about it." The Scotland Neck xorrespon dentof the Weldon News says: Quite an unique duel was fought between Charlie Currie and Sam Covington one day last week. Both fired several times at each other and neither was hit. Very fine marks manship this. The "dilikelty" arose from a dispute about drinking hard cider. ; Salisbury Watchman: Daniel A. Crisco was convicted at Salisbury Fri day of selling spurious metal as gold, and has been sentenced to two years in the pen itentiary. He admits his guilt and tells ef a gang in Salisbury- and Rowan county who are engaged in counterfeiting and in manufacturing this spurious metal into - nuggets that are sold for gold.

The lantern is an octagonal struc ture, with copper roof. . - Ben-Vines, a colored drayman of this town, while in the act of throwing a stone at a hog, ruptured a hlood vessel, which caused his death. , - Asheville Advance: The state ment that all Democrats are for Johnston is false, .Hundreds of as good Democrats as there are in this District are supporting Major Malone, and. he will be our next Representative, ': No one will doubt the Democracy of the Star, who says "the civil service humbug has few real friends in North Carolina." Did the Star know that the Asheville bosses fully endorsed this humbug?. Pittsboro Record: Many an old persimmon tree is now being ' turned into ready money at Mr. Nooe'a shuttle block factory.' Two logs were sold from one tree a few days ago for $3 50. On the 18th inst.Mr. Arthur A vent, a son of Mr. Glover Avent of this county, ' committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. He was visiting his grand father, E. It. Partridge. Esq.: of Moore county, at the time. - , Tarboro Southerner: Baring ac ¬ cidents from flood, or storm, the crops will be far better than tne most sanguine bucolic dared hope for six or eight weeks ago. The barbecue given by the privates of the Edgecombe Guards at the fair grounds on Thursday last was very enjoyable. An esteemed correspondent, James B. Cu tenia, desires to correct a snake story by our w hit- aker's itemizer. We are sorry.. but must decline. No editor in America ever cor rects a snake Btory, The very thought of such a thing is appalling. Wilson Advance': A gentleman from Greene county who was in town ies- terday, reported splendid crops in nearly all of Greene. Both cotton and corn crops in this and adjacent sections are said to be good. We hear complaints of cotton having the rust in Nash county. Can a farmer pay 50 per cent profit on ail he uses and make a living? If so a far mer who farms on a common sense basis ought to get rich. Quite a number of educated spiders have been seen around Wilson lately. Charlie Blount had one yesterday that he captured at home. The letters W A JK were woven in the centre of its web. Three or four of these spiders were seen at Dr. Herring's a few days ago. ; Durham Recorder: , We regret so chronicle the detthof Mr. Joseph Sneed, which occurred at his residence in thi place this morning at 6 o'clock, aged 68 years. . lie was born in Halifax county; Va, Died, last night, Mrs. Claude Hooker. sister of Mrs. J.

Hollo way, who resides nine, miles east of Durham. wa3 destroyed by fire. There was no insurance on the build ing. The stock of" goods was covered by $l,G0O insurance. The cause of the fire is not known. j Elizabeth City Economist: The readers of the Economist know that we are an enthusiast about pecan trees and pecan nuts.: We would like for this town to be distinguished for the number and beauty of its pecan trees. We would like for-its streets to be bordered by pecan trees. We have for years been n enthusiast about pe cans but have never been able to meet a pecan enthusiast until Wednesday, when we met Allen Warren of Greenville, ex sheriff of Pitt county, who was the man we have been looking for, lo! these many years. He is a. flower, fruit and tree en thusiast. He is a nurserymau, an orchard ist, a florist and a fruiterer. He has some five or ten thousand young pecan trees, and he is the only nurseryman we know who has them. ' Winston Sentinel: Col. Ris ley has been over the whole of the road and reports that the people are very en thusiastic. The counties of Brunswick and Stanly, through their Commissioners have already ordered elections for the purpose of voting $100,000 each to the scheme. The situation is relieved of any risk whatever, by the syndicate assuring the people that not a cent of the county subscriptions will be asked for until the road is built and trains are actually running. This ought to be a matter of encouragement for the peo ple, doubly so, when Col. Risley avers hatthe road will surely be built. The contractor of the road, Mr. Bilheimer, now has a corps of engineers engaged in making the survey from the Smithville end of the line, and they are expected to reach Salis bury within a few weeks. . Salisbury Watchman: The house of T. A. Albright, in Locke town ship, was struck by lightning during a rain a few days ago. The lightning passed over one of his children, which was in bed at the time, and Btunned a negro who was in the room. Mrs. A. J. Lawrance.near Enochville, this county, was driving her cows to a pasture a few days ago. and saw j in a i little gulley a bright looting specs, and picked it up. It turned out to be gold, and weighed 126 grains. She gathered up other shining particles at the same place, where, in all probability there is a good quantity of the precious metal..- Jfrof. W. E. Hidden, superintendent and general manager of the Emerald and Hiddenite mine, in Alexander county, called on last Thursday, evening and displayed to the mining editor of this paper, the most won derf ul lot of gem stones ever seen in this country-r-in fact the cabinet collections in all the museums from Boston to New Or leans, could not produce such a collectidn. Charlotte Observer: Dr. Wil liam Gaither, a prominent citizen of this county, takes the premium as the champion onion raiser. . - He planted a half bushel of onions and harvested therefrom ' forty bushels. Each onion planted produced 25, and in one place a nest of 40 onions was found From Washington Letter: There is a pretty kettle of fish down in Reid's district. Col. John R. Winston and Mr. Charles Reynolds are making an anti revenue canvass against Mr. Reid. Mr. Goslen.-of the Winston Bepublican, sup ports Reynolds in the columns of his pa per. There are some facts which, if gen erally circulated, would make mighty in teresting matter for the million. When Mr. Reynolds was waging war on Wheeler in Douglas interest, during the Wheeler Douglas straggle before: the Senate for the -collectorship of Internal Revenue,; Rey nolds filed rsome ugly charges . against Wheeler; under whom he had served as deputy Goslen also did some filing of charges I am informed.

The congregation of Sfr.Stephen's Church (colored) had a? large lawn party Monday night, in the lot -just in the rear of the church. Very elaborate preparations had been made, and the affair was a great success, the attendance being very large. It was suggested last night by a gentleman who called at the Stab office, that the ministers of the different churches in the city bo requested to call their congre gations together to day to give thanks for the' merciful dispensation of Providence that preseerved this city and its inhabitants from a dire calamity. The Champion cotton Compress The Champion Cotton Compress, which was destroyed by fire in February last, has been rebuilt upon a greatly improved and enlarged scale, and is now one of the most imposing structures in the city. It com prises three lofty brick compartments, each separated from the other by thick flroproof walls, altogether covering ground measur ing 340x132 feet and affording storage for ten thousand bales of cotton ; the whole erected during the summer at a cost of $25,000. ; Workmen are still engaged laying the flooring within the building, and on the receiving platforms on the south' and north sides, which are 340 feet in length and 66 feet in width. The wharf facilities have also been greatly enlarged, and an addi tional pier built, thus affording berth room for three large steamships, ; Particular attention seems to have been paid in the construction of the building to guard against damage from fire. There are three large fire hydrants conveniently located,; with two hundred feet of hose at tached ; ' and besides all the wooden ex posures of the building-will be covered with corrugated iron, thus reducing the fire-risk to a minimum.- The compress, which is of the Morse pattern, -was unin jured by the fire, and i has been overhauled and put in thorough order. Another Robbery. ' The premises of John Henry. Brown, colored corner of 8ixth and Brunswick streets, were raided by thieves Monday night, and alt the provisions he had in the house were stolen. The thief or thieves entered by-way of a window in the back part of the dwelling, taking out one of the panes of glass and then removing a stick placed over the lower sash to hold it down. Brown has a very sharp dog, which he thinks was decoyed to the front yard while the robbery was being perpetrated. ' - Cotton Receipts The yearly exhibit- of the cotton trade of Wilmington as compiled from the records kept at the Produce Exchange, show the total receipts for the year ending August 31, 1886, to be 101,4941 bales,' against 93, 995 bales, for the crop year ending August 31, 1885; an increase of 7,527 bales. Mid dling cotton is quoted at nine - cents per pound one cent lower than at the close of the crop year of 18,845, when it was quoted at 10 cents. A Bnrglarloua Attempt Foiled An attempt was made Monday night to break into the residence of Mr. E. Turling ton, on Third, between Walnut and Red Cross streets. The burglar was detected while he was trying - to force a widow and was fired at by ; a son of Mr. Turlington, who thought ho had hit the man, but he failed to stop him. - RIVER ANDRIARINfi.

She is 21 years of age and weighs only 45 pounds, j . ' ; EARTH UAKE. People .who. have heretofore had little faith in reports of earthquake shocks here abouts, had 'a gentle reminder last night thiat Jthis ' mundane sphere is liable to a general shake up all around, n Fortunately, the shocks experienced in Wilmington were not sufficient to do any damage, beyond greatly frightening the.people ... ; There were three shocks, the first occur ring at ten minutes to 10 o'clock.' It was: quite severe, lasting, according to the most reliable reports, about thirty seconds, al though some persons were positive that-the schock continued at least a minute; indeed, one individual was seen about,two hours after the disturbance who said he had "not stopped shaking yet." People, were greatly alarmed, and rushed from their houses, into theBtreets. " 'l. : It was exactly ten minuses to ten o'clock when the firat shock occurred. . It lasted about thirty seconds and was accompanied by a prolonged .rumbling i sound, like the passage of a railway train over a bridge. The river seemed to be violently agitated, and washed against its banks as if a storm was raging. - The first shock' was followed ten minutes afterwards by a second, and this by a third, - ten minutes la- 'j neither of them of as . great severity as the first. It is impossible . to describe the alarm that pervaded the com munity. : People thronged the streets, and many of them were greatly agitated.' ' A great crowd centered around the telegraph office, anxiously inquiring as to the news from other places. ? I So far as known the damage caused by the shock was slight. Plastering was dis- odged and fell in the Commercial Hotel and other houses, and r bricks were shaken ftom chimneys i and from - the walls of buildings in process of erec tion, among the number the chimney of the house on the corner : of Second and Princess streets occupied by Colonel D Klein. The shock was . quite severe at other places. At Smithville, . the Signal Seryic observer reported as follows: . "A severe earthquake shock felt here at 9.50 p. m.; lasted about ten seconds; came from northwest . Ten minutes after the first shock another came from the west, lasting about three seconds." There were two shocks in Augusta, Ga. Both very severe. , - In Laurinburg, N. C.j the telegraph op erator reported that the bhock was so se vere as to overturn his table. The shock was felt at Columbia, 8.- C, Charlotte, N. C, and; Atlanta, Ga. The wires between Florence andChatleston.S C. , went down immediately after the disturb ance and nothing could be beard from that city. ! Telegraphic reports show that the dis turbance was of wide extent as. far North as New York and West to Chicago. A special to the Star from Laurinburg says that at 9.51 p. m. the citizens were aroused by the shock- Buildings were abandoned in terror.' The shock was terri ble, shaking houses, shattering chimneys, brick walls, window glass and dishes. The first shpek was followed closely by the second, third and fourth. Citizens are greatly excited, especially the darkeys, who are frightened out of their wits. At the Sound the shock was very severe. and the people were greatly alarmed, aban doning their houses and taking refuge in the fields., In one of the residences at Mason boro the shock overturned a bureau. Great anxiety was felt as to. Char leston, S. C. The latest report, from St. Stephens, on the Northeastern Railroad, was that communication was broken and the train from that city, at 2 a. m., was an hour and thirty minutes behind the time it was duo at that station.
