The - following tele graphed the WbrlcHrom New Haven will be read with interest: 7 : "A.t the Alumni dinner J. : Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, spoke of the partlaken by Virginia and Connecticut in the Federal convention and of the pleasant relations which had always existed between the two States, and closed by, extending Virginia's greeting to .Yale, which had been sent through him As he -eat down President Dwight rose and said: "Yale University and the State of Con necticut extend the right hand of fellow ship to bid Virginia.' "Mr. Tucker sprang to his feet and. grasping President D wight by the hand,. tutemptea to reply, but the outburst of ap plause was so enthusiastic that he stood several minutes holding the . President by the hand before . he could be heard. Mr. Tutker thanked President D wight for his noble sentiment and prayed God to bless the union of Connecticut and Virginia and Yaie University. This exchange of fra ternal greetings and striking manner in which it was carried out created the greatest enthusiasm and most favorable comment." The London police are the best in the world.

In addition to them there is the city police of Old London with a total force of 906. The better element of society in Rowan county, Kentucky, have combined at last to maintain law and protect the lives and property of its citizens. When five hundred reso lute men enter into an agreement of this kind it means a great deal and the cut-throats and rowdies would be wise to take heed and govern themselves accordingly. Crime and violence have long had full sway in Kowan county. Oar highly esteemed contempo rary, the Wilson Advance, is mis taken in supposing that we were an-, gered in the slightest by its criticism. We replied with the utmost calm ness of feeling to what appeared to us as unfair criticism. Its rejoinder is scarcely an improvement on its tirt. Having said "sixteen feet' it proposes to stick to it. Well, we "are treed to all such. According to the Baltimore Man' ufacturer3 Record, the first six months of 1887 show the following result in the Southern States: Amount of capital invested, $161,- 192,000 against $62,618,000 for the corresponding time in 1886. North Carolina is credited with $3,212,000. One of the most noticeable things in New York journalism is the loss of its grip npon tbe country at large. The opinions of the large dailies of that city do not influence the coun try auy more than those of other large cities. They are no more quoted from than others.

He was badly wounded. Bob Leak, negro, has been arrested and jailed. The Rocket says : The wounded man bad but recent lently returned from Florida, where he had been working for a number of months past. Ugly rumors about his wife were current during his absence, and a motive for the horrible deed is to be found in the probable existence of jealousy in the heart that yearned more for bis absence than presence at home. Suspicion rested ou Bob Leak, col. Charlotte Democrat: Governor Vance is in the city, ready to deliver the oration at the unveiling of the Confederate monument to-day (Thursday). Many friends have called on him at the Belmont Hotel. The people of North Carolina will stand by Vance all the time "fodder or no fodder." "Give credit to whom credit is due" is a eood rule, and therefore we state that in our notice of the 200 speci mens of North Carolina birds- we saw in the museum at Chapel Hill, we erred in stating that they were prepared by Prof . Holmes. We should have said that Prof. Atkinson's dexterous hands were the ones who did the nice work, though Prof. Holmes is also skilled in such science. - - Raleigh Visitor: Messrs. J. C. L.

The city ought to receive at least twelve hundred dollars from the dollar license on dogs. Every dog that 'is not worth a dollar to its own er should have its tail cut off "just behind the ears." The Charlotte Chroniele copy ing from one of the Columbia papers, makes the startling announcement that Umpire Rpbinson had a "pis- tion" in his pocket. That was indeed dreadful. A "pistion" must be some thing fearfully and wonderfully made. The enterprising managerd of the Carolina Baach Company have deter mined to let the people have on the 4th of July ample opportunity for visiting thell popular resort, as will be seen elsewhere. The "Passport" will make several trips during the day, and an hour or two, or the whole day can be spent there at the option of the excursionists.

It seems that Drake was trying the ef fect of his musical skill in a store on Second street, bnt was showing more plainly the effect of "benzine," and he at last became so disorderly that he was ordered to leave tne store in which he was creating the disturb ance. The proprietor finally having become tired of Drake's insolence, started in the direction of Squire Millis' office to gfet a warrant for his arrest, when he was followed by Drake who swore vengence against him. Drake, however, was arrested before he did any damage, and was conveyed to the guard house, but not without his : violent protest in the- shape of threats, kicks, etc. mayor's court. Sarah Williams stood hp before the Mayor yesterday charged with' con duct "unbecoming an officer and "a gentleman." His Honor thought it a true bill, and Sarah was requested to place twenty dollars In the city trea sury. . Her bank account being a trifle short, she failed to respond to this call for human - cash, whereupon she was allowed the privilege of stepping down stairs for a thirty day's rest. William Colarogne next came to the scratch.

'.: . .' .. : t f The Signal Office in this city issued a new weather map yesterday and the - manilla bulletins heretofore posted-at different places were dis continued. The advantages of this maP are numerous. It shows glance the atmospheric at a conditions that prevail in different sections. It is more legible inasmuch as figures, Btate of weather and direction of wind are rnore conspicuous. It combines the geography of the country with its meteorological phenomena and de fines the position and course of a storm. This is a decided improve ment over the manifold bulletin. An inexperienced eye, with a little study, can detect the presence of a storm on the map and become his own Wenner. This was not the case with the bulletin. It required a tho rough knowledge of meteorology and even then the mind had to picture what the eye can now perceive the location and extent of a storm. flu m a t ia nrlnt.orl Vv meant of a cyclo8tyle and aImost any number of copies can be produced after the first impression is made. The 7 a. m. ob servations are employed in its issue and is generally posted about 10,30 a. m. A copy of the map is to be seen at the Post Office, Custom House. Produce Exchange and at the foot of the stairs of the Signal Office. The new frames for the map have not yet arrived and the maps are placed rather inconveniently in the old bul letin frames for the present. The isobaric lines (heavy curved lines) indicate equal barometic press ure, and the isothermal lines (dotted) designate the places of equal temper ature. The" map issued yesterday showed that an area of high pressure was passing over the central Atlantic coast, and another appearing on the extreme northwest with the mini mum pressure in the western basin of the Mississippi valley. Generally clear weather, prevailed east of the Mississippi afndjn the northwest, and cloudy weather in the Mississippi valley. meteorological Summary. Mr. W. H.
