General Miles seems 'j to be in trouble and all because : of that old scamp Geronimo. ' A court martial is talked of. The papers in the South are united in the opinion that old "Gump" Sher man is the most stupendous liar of his times and country. f ' Mr. Gladstone is reported as ex pecting to return to power in the course of three or four months. God grant it. He thinks that Tory coercion will make this a necessity. Some of tbe visiting Knights of Labor at Richmond, Va., have stir red up a hornet's nest by their social rights ideas and practices. Uich mond is disgusted. The New Orleans States has changed its-form and, put on a new. dress. It now appears as an eight page daily. We like the States be cause .it is staunchly, unwaveringly Democratic. So far as we know this cannot be said of. any other daily in that city. " v : ' J ustm McCarthy, the eloquent Irish politician and author, lectured to a great audience in New-York in behalf of Charleston. Mayor Grace introduced him. He arraigned Eng land for" her tyranny. He said the Tories must either propose some Home Rule scheme or leave power. Our erudite friend of the Danbury Reporter-Post copies what the Star said of Knights Templars, and says: "We consider the hsh of the word Knights in the expression of Knights Tem plar to be redundant.- The word Templars of itself means a religions militaxv order. The correct pronunciation is Templars' or eise .iungnts of the Temple.'," Doubtloss well taken.

He is a Democratic so-called - candidate in the Ohio Second. It is interesting ; to i know What sort of a politician he is. Well, he is for Blaine, voted for him in 1884, and favors the present High War Tariff. He' will not spend a cent in the campaign and is the eternal friend of the workingman. Heaven shield the Ohio Democrats from that Shields! - Prof. Proctor, the English man of science who lectured in Wilming ton on astronomy, says of the earth quake trouble that "as long a time of comparative quiescence may be ex pected to follow the present earth quake as we know preceded it." This is comforting. If true Charles ton and the coast towns will have a long rest. Beaconfield's autobiography is said to be full of bitter reflections on Mr. Gladstone. The great Liberal leader is so utterly unlike- his able antago nist, now dead, . and moves upon a plane so very far above that once oc cupied by his dead reviler that it was impossible for the latter to fairly ap preciate the man he animadverts upon. . , The difference in the death rate of the two races in Wilmington for Sep tember was remarkable 12 whites, 41 colored. The population is 8,000 whites, 12,000 colored. There was only one white death that could be attributed to the climate death from a copgestire chill, and yet Sep tember is one of the sickliest months from malarial causes. ; The Augusta Chronicle says of the Jeff Davis letter.

Some people seem to have got the im pression that only a part of the Great Bar num and London Show is to visit the South. This involves a great injustice to Messrs. P. T. Barnum & Co , which is cal culated to do them an undeserved injury, and we are pleased to be able to say, most positively, that the report has no founda tion in fact, and should be both discredited and contradicted. We have seen telegrams from high railroad officials, conclusively showing that the great show brines exactly the same number offcars South with which it started from New York city, and that of course, it would not do had itbeen, in any way, curtailed. It should be borne in mind that this trip South is an experimental one. and the management of the show have every reason to put forth their, whole un divided strength to please, for they are most anxious to succeed, and to establish a reputation, which wilLlargely increase their territory, and enable them to pay us continuous visits The whole show will be here, exactly as advertised, and the South has never seen anything of the kind re motely approaching it , in - magnitude, va' riety and tone. Doris' Circus. People were not altogether pleased with the parade and performance of Doris' cir cus, which pitched its tents in this city yesterday at the usual place of exhibition.

Two performances were given, one in the afternoon and the other at night. Nei ther of them was well attended. There Were some features of the exhibition which were extremely interesting and exciting, particu larly the contortionists, the trapeze acting, the knife throwing and the Chinese jug gler, while other parts of tbe performance were not so good. The menagerie, how ever, was above the average. Superior Court. In thi3 Court yesterday, in tbe case of P. Cumming '& Co vs. D. D. Barber, in which tbe jury found the main issues for the plaintiff.
