Constitution says: ' "In 1743 a vessel from the East ladies touched the coast of North Carolina, where the great-grandfather of Mrs.- Gibson's husband lived at the time. A passenger who was sick was put off, and Mr. Gibson took him to his home, where the stranger was welcomed and nursed back to health. When about to'.take his deDarture he took from his pocket two stones, one of which he presented to Mr. Gibson, telling him that it was of great age, as he had been as sured by the gentleman from whom he pro cured itin Bombay and that it possessed re markable powers in all cases of blood-poisoning."

She is illiterstecan neither read nor write, is an almost help less invalid, has , never received , any me chanical training, and yet can make rings, cuff -buttons, badges, pocket knives, &c., as neatly and artistically as the most skil ful workman.

Coons' Tails. , There is big money in dealing in fur, a Water street merchant says almost as much as in cotton futures if you handle enough of it, but the man who aspires to trade in coon skins has got to be well post ed and keep his eyes open, especially if he goes down into the swamps in Richmond and Robeson on business, or he will as surely "get left" as the cotton future man who buys "Auguses at 70 and is closed out at 65. This alsortae conclusion or a well known dealer in furs on Water street, who has handled more goods of this kind probably than all the rest of the dealers in the city. He buys all sorts of furs, from a buffalo robe or a cow hide to a rabbit skin, and is so expert that he can tell the quality of mink, otter or musk-rat fur in the dark. He can tell also many wonderful stories touching his experience In the busi ness. One curious fact be mentions, and it is - well vouched for by oth- .w. m era,, is. that a singular variety 01 rac coon exists on Eagle Island,, opposte the city, closely resembling a red fox in color. With the exception of the tail which shows the distinctive markings of a coon ,fareg ular Robeson county ring-tail rouser." A short time ago this dealer went up the Caro lina Central to buy furs, but the season was about over, and all Jhat he , could gather was a few opossum skins and a coon skin with a magnificent tail paying five cents' each for the 'possum skins and forty cents for the coon skin all on account 01 ine tail. He brought his purchases back to the city, and when he went to examine them found that the alleged coon skin for which he had paid forty cents was a five-cent 'possum's "hide, turned inside out and a coon's tail tied on so adroitly as to deceive the most careful buyer. He is convinced that it is not safe to juige of a Robeson county coda by its tail. 1 .V ; ' ' ' --iV- - New Police wrn In.

There were no cases for trial at the Mayor's wcourt yesterday. - The case of "drunk and down," mentioned in the proceedings of the Mayor's court Monday, in which no fine was imposed, it seems was simply a case of drunkenness where the offender was taken in by the police but no charge was preferred. . . A reader of the Star congrat ulates our citizens upon having a mayor who is disposed by imposing heavy penal ties to break up the use of vile language, cursing aid swearing on the public streets, and he expresses the hope that the Mayor may be ad successful that women and chil dren may walk our streets or occupy Beats upon their piazzas without having their ears shocked with foul language. - The f curious behavior of the fire alarm Monday evening is explained. The alarm for the lire on Tenth street was turned in from. Box 35. earner of Eighth and Market streets, and juit after this alarm had been sounded, some one through a mistake turned in an alarm from Box 25, corner of Seventh and Harnett streets. The system is ail right and in perfect order. The last General Conference of the Methodist E. Church South, which; met in' Richmond, Ya , in May, 1885, dered that the third Sunday fn M&yoTihiS year be set apart as "Children's Day," to be observed throughout the Church with appropriate cervices, and on that day a col lection is to be taken up for the aid of needy Sunday schools.

C , and Mr. Hunneweil has presented a park of ten acres and a public library of 6,000 volumes to Wellsley, Miss. A reader of the Star asks: "Cannot some of our public spirited and liberal minded citizens present our city with a park and erect a large and commodi ous hotel ? These improvements with our new street railroad, savings bank, and home insurance company, would give a fresh boom to our city by the sea " Superior Court. - The following cases were heard in the Superior Cout yesterday: Wilmington Mutual Insurance Co. vs. Geo.

INTER-STA TE Mr. Editor: A communication in the Star of Sunday, the 17th inst., signed "J." refers to the fact that mercantile ex changes in other Southern cities are send- ine committees to meet the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners at Atlanta, Ga., to urge the making of the temporary relief already granted the railroads permanent as regards the ''long and short haul clause" and asks: "Will not the Chamber of Com merce or Produce Exchange of Wilming ton take some action on such an important subject?" The Congress of the United States pass ed the bill known as the "Inter-State Com merce bill, "and after careful consideration the President approved it and it became a law. It was supposed that some necessity existed for this or a similar law, and that the "long and short haul" provision was one of, if not the main feature of an act demanded by the people. Now, before the people of this city join the movement for the "relief of the rail roads," would it not be well to look at both sides of the question. What advantage are the long haul rates to Wilmington ? We are told that it ena bles us to dispose of our naval stores and other products in Western cities and towns V otherwise closed to us. Does it ? Com pare our rates for the past two years with those' granted Charleston and Savannah, and you will find that the rates given us amounted virtually to a prohibition of trade so far as Wilmington was concerned. It enables us to bring flour, corn, meat, hay, &c, from Minneapolis, Chicago, Cin cinnati, and western points generally, ana to sell these articles to our farmers lower than -they can produce them, and thus it renders the farms of North Carolina value less and people have no inducement to come here, settle and engage in agricul ture No, they go instead to the West, be cause the long haul discrimination gives these every advantage. Thirty years ago Wilmington handled flour milled almost entirely at Fayetteville, or in the wheat growing section of our own State, and the wharves were lined with corn laden vessels rrom uyae, unsiow, jrerqui mans, Hertford and the great corn growing section of East Carolina, Our farmers were prosperous and money was abundant. How is it now? Well, we are compelled to get our flour from Minneapolis, and our corn from Chicago or other far Western points, and the farmers of Minnesota, Illi nois and other distant States receive our money. Again, why is it that we can only have steam communication with New York not half sufficient to do the business from this place? What is the reason that a traveller from Wilmington, a city of over 20.000 inhabi tants, can seldom obtain sleeping car ac commodation save by telegraphing to points north or south and paying full fare for a berth from Richmond or Jacksonville ? Simply because, (do you doubt it?) that we submit and do nothing. In view of these thiogs, and columns . of similar facts that might be enumerated, would it not be best for our people to wait and see if the en forcement of the Inter-State Commerce law will not grant the people some relief, before we rush in and secure the abroga tion of Us provisions in behalf of the rail roads? .
