Booth and Barrett ard playing in
Boston. Nym Crinkle, one of the
brightest and best of theatrical critics
in our country, writea to the World:
"Booth appeared to be stimulated to his
best endeavors by the brilliancy and enthu
8ia9tn of the audience, and in several of the
ecenes .exhibited all of his old fire, while
he retained all of his old grace and iacis
iveness of utterance.
"Lawrence Barrett, who is probably the
best living Cassiusjecalled his old triumphs
at Booth's Theatre, and Ned Buckley, the
Marc Antony, succeeded in sharing the
honors in the forum scene. N
"Probably no finer elocutionary effort
has been made than waa iointlv made bv
Ahese players in the dignified declamatory
wora oi mis piay, ana it was a genuine
treat to find at this hour of star exclusive-,
nets and aesthetic flionery a Shakespearean
drama with something like an equality of
excellence m ine cast and tne whole burden
of success resting on the actors. I found
the enormous and intelligent audience fol
lowing every word of the text with intense
interest "
Mrs. Oliphant, the eminent novel
ist, tells of the death of the famous
author of "John Halifax." She died
very suddenly while lying oo a sofa.
Mrs. O. says her husband returned in
the afternoon:
"He found her in her room, lying on her
sofa, with an awe-stricken group standing
round dead She had entertained various
visitors in the afternoon Some time after
they were gone, the had rung her ball, say
ing she felt ill; the servants, alarmed, called
for assistance and she was laid upon the
sofa. A few minutes' struggle for breath,
a murmur, 'Oh, if I could live four weeks
longer; but no ma'ter no matter 1 and all
was over."
McGowan's, S. C, brigade has
been celebrating the anniversary of
Gn. Gregg's death. They also pro
pose to aid in the erection of the

and held that they were the best sol

prove.
There is not a negro in the Fiftieth
Congress. The Republicans who love
"the colored man and brother" with
suca tenderness nave not elected a
solitary eolored man from a Northern
District. O'Hara of the North Car
olina Second, and Smalls, of the
South Carolina Black District, have
disappeared from the Halis of Con
gress and the places that knew them
will know them no more forever.
The great statesman, Bob Lincoln,

Next If ear' Weather.
The Star has received MansilTs
Almanac and Weather Forecasts for
1888, published by the Illinois weather
prophet, at Rock Island. The spring
he says will arrive early. The win
ter months are summed up thus:
J anuary is expected to average equal
to or above the mean of the season;
February and March should be about
similar in temperature, and April
will in this way see the sjpring well
advanced.
It is anticipated by Mansill that
May and June will be moderately
cool, even if the temperature is not
a little lower than the average. The
weather for July is to be about the
same, while August is rated to be low
er than the mean of the season. This
is to continue through September and
three weeks in October, when it will
become elevated, and range as high
as the mean of the season, and con
tinue during the month, and prob
ably this temperature will be kept up
to the average of the season during
November and part of December. To
sum this up, we would have by this
calculation an unusua'ly, early and
long spring, with the usual storms,
followed by a moderately cool sum
mer and autumn.
Funeral of Uto Late ITXra. Hnake.

Mr. Huske remained at Jessup with
the body of his wife, and Mrs. Snow-
den, wife of Dr. P. G. Snowden, of
Ocala, an intimate friend of the de
ceased lady, came on to this city with
Mr. Huske's two young children.
Mrs. Huske died suddenly from an
attack of heart disease. Her hus

A Grand Trunk Line to tne Weit.
The Fayetteville News, speaking of
the travel and business on the Cape
Fear & Yadkin Valley Railway says:
"Already great, the possibilities of
its near future develop rapidly day
after day until its completion shall
give us a grand trunk line, setting
forth from the fairest city and finest
sea-port of North Carolina, to place
us, with a few hours of rapid riding,
in communication with Cincinnati,
Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago and
other flourishing cities of the West,
which in years gone by have seemed
set far away from our reach by an im
measurable distance whieh could not
be bridged."

Miss Rose Osborne will appear at

G.v THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15t 1887.
Preparing for Florida Xravel.
The 'finest railway trains in the
world,1' as they are described, will be
gin running on the Atlantic Coast
Line between New York and Florida,
about the 1st of January.
These trains are composed exclu -
sively of drawing-room cars, contain
ing library, reading and smoking
rooms, dining cars in wmcn meals
will be served en route, and sleeping
ears fitted with all comforts, conve
niences and luxuries, and so connect
ed by means of vestibules that each
train const itutes one continuous car
forming a series of apartments, so
that the traveller may pass from one
end of it to the other, precisely as he
passes from one room to another in
his own house.
Exteriorly they will present the ap
pearance of a block of artistically fin
ished houses, while interiorly they
will rival both in beauty of decora
tion, and in varied living conveni
ences, an elaborately furnished and
richly appointed city mansion.
The vestibules are formed by en
closing the platforms they are as
elegantly finished as any part of the
car carpeted so as to entirely con
ceal the points of connection between
the joined cars, and illuminated by
means of electric lights depending
from the ceilings whose rays fall
through cut-glass panelled doors, full
upon the steps.
Many of the advantages of the ves-
tibuled train are obvious. It relieves
the traveller in passing from one part
of the train to another from the an
noyance of the whirlwind on the plat
form, caused by the rapid motion of
the train, as also from the cold of
open air in winter, from the dust in
summer, ana from tne storms at all
seasons. It forms an easy connection
with the dining-room, the smoking
room, and the library. The sched
ules for these trains will be so ar
ranged as to leave New York after
breakfast, say about 0.30, and reach
Florida the following day in time for
dinner, being but one night on the
road.
Hon. Alfred Rowland.
We are deeply pained to learn that
the health of Hon. Alfred Rowland
has so far failed him that he is com
pelled to return home. He will reach
here to-night on his way to his home
inLumberton. His condition is very
feeble.
This announcement will be' re
ceived with profound regret, not only
by the friends of CoL Rowland in the
Sixth Congressional District, but
throughout the State of North Caro
lina, where he is known and esteemed
for his many good qualities. With
the devotion to duty characteristic of
the man, he went to Washington to
serve the people who elected him,
but the feeble condition of his health
compels him to abandon that cher
ished hope. The Star trusts that
the attention of kind friends and the
comforts of home may soon restore
him to health.
Clluton Conrt, dec.
A correspondent of the Star, writ
ing from Clinton, says:
His HSnor Judge Phillips, is now
holding his last term of court for this
district.
Judcre E. T. Boykin is at home for
recreation preparatory to entering
upon his duties in the spring. He is
in excellent neaitn ana looking oet-
ter than usual.
Your correspondent met Mr. James,
the marshal who had the misfortune
of havincr a sword run throucrh his
body, at the railroad celebration in
this place, last spring; was pleased to
see mm restored to periect neaun
rain. He never feels the effect of
his wound except when taking too
much exercise.
The completion of the railroad has
given this hospitable and energetic
town a little Doom, cieverai new
buildings are in progress of erection
and others in contemplation.

PRESBYTERIANS NORTH
A.SD SOUTH,
Conference In Lealevtlle, Ky., of Com
mittees.
Editor Stab: The committee of
the Southern Presbyterian Church,
which, according to yesterday's tele
gram met a similar committee of the
Northern Church, in liouisville, Kv.
on the 14th instant, is as follows: M
T HftM. D. D.. Richmond. Va.: Jos
R. Wilson, D. D., Clarksville, Tenn.;
T. D. Wither8poon, V. lxuisville,
Ky.; W. . JenKins, v.. cnaneston,
S. C; W. M. McPheeters, M. D., St,
Louis, Mqj P. H. Carter, Abilene,
Texas: K. T. Simpson, Florence, Aia.;
W. S Primrose, Raleigh, N. C.
The business or tne committee is
"solely to inquire into and ascertain
the facts as to the point above men
tioned" (the position oi tne jNortnern
Church as to the spirituality of the
liDurCD, QOu-iuuiriereuni w i . u. i uia k-
ters political) "and as to tne position
the Northern Assembly proposes to
maintain as to colored churches, ec
clesiastical boards, and any other sub
jects now regarded as obstacles in the
way of united effort for the propaga
tion of the Gospel, and report these
facts to the next lienerai Assemoiy
for such action as they may war
rant." As usual, telegrams as to church
matters are in error. From the above
it appears that it is not the business
of the rcommittee to- recommend
some action in regard to a union of
the two bodies, but simply to ascer
tain and report facts. The Associa
ted Press dispatches never do justice
to the Southern church. -
The following are the indications
for to-day, received at 1 a. m.:
For Virginia, slightly warmer and
threatening weather, with rain, light
to fresh easterly winds.
North Carolina and South Carolina,
slightly warmer, with rain, light to
fresh variable winds, becoming fresh
to brisk northerly, followed by cooler
clearing weather.
Georgia and eastern Florida, rain,
followed by cooler, clearing weather,
winds becoming fresh to brisk north
erly. Caatlonarysicnals.
The following telegram was re
ceived at the Signal Office yesterday
morning:
"Washixgtos. D. C. Dec. 14.
Cautionary signals are ordered at
Charleston. Storm centre south of
Mobile, moving eastward. North
easterly winds. Grekly."
he signals were ordered down at
midnight last night, indicating that
the storm was not of sufficient energy
to be considered dangerous. The de
pression evidently is decreasing and
will be entirely dissipated after seve
ral days of unsettled weather.
