North Carolina has had many in- Gatliner, made imDortant inventions and got due credit for them, while others Vere robbed of the fruits of their brains. The following from the New York World concerns a na tive of o'ur Stale: . "The man who first used the tornedo in naval warfare died a few days ago in Georgetown. D. C. Francis Edgar Bhep pertt came of an old North Carolina family; was educated , at the Annapolis Naval School, and at the outbreak of the war entered the Confederate navy. Just twenty- nve years ago this month Shepperd blew ob the United States cunboat Cairo on the Mississippi by means of an old-fashioned torpeuo Uapt. bhepperd watched the ex plosion jrom the bank of the river, and de clared that torpedo warfare was coward! v. HjS never again set a torpedo." It" should be noted that in the Illinois Legislature there ia a negro member. He was elected from Chicago, and he is rich and lives in a $15,000 house. A few yeais back he was a waiter in a hotel. He pro bably got his start on "tips." It would be instructive to know what sort of constituency he has. Ex-President Grevy is 'said to be so implicated in the Wilson scandal that proceedings against the latter and Mme. Limonsio had to be ar rested because the President would be involved. It is said that Grevy threw in the fire the missing docu ments because his name had been used therein. Philadelphia has a monster on ex hibition. It is a woman who wei hs 967 pounds and is growing.. She is 26 years old, is 5 feet 4f inches high. Her arm measures 38 inches, and her bast 116 inches around. She is pro bably the largest woman the world ever saw. Rev. Hugh Pentecost,, turned poli tician and Georgite, and he now de clares he has no sympathy with the Christianity of the present. He has resigned his charge at Newark. If he can do without Christianity, it is certain that Christianity can do with out him. We find the following in an ex change concerning the -bright star in the East: "That this is the veritable fctar so often referred to admits of no doubt, for the astronomers say that it makes its appearance once in every 314 or 315 years. Taking the average 314 years and multiplying it by biz, the result is 1887, the exact number of years since the birth of Christ. THE CITY. NEW ADVBBTISE9IBIITS. Mus son Holiday goods.

To those hereto fore given we add the rates of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley, which will issue round trip tickets between all stations on its line, at one first class fare, which is four cents per mile. Tiekets will be on sale Dec. 22, 23 and 24, good to return to selling point up to January 2 inclusive; and also on Dec. 29, 30 and 31, good to re turn to selling point up to Jan. 6 in clusive. The reduced rates on the several railroads will add greatly to the enjoyment of the Christmas holi days, bringing about many meetings and reunions between friends and relatives who have not seen each other for years. A Costly Overcoat. We read about a citizen of Char lotte who saw an advertisement of A. H. King, a Broadway merchant, -who "was selling a forty-dollar overcoat for ten dollars," and who forwarded King-a ten-dollar bill. In due time the overcoat was received and, the Observer says, a garment made of cot ton bagging woald have been a fine one compared to it. A better over coat could have been bought in Char lotte for five dollars. No doubt there are many people in Wilmington who have been nicely swindled by sending North for goods instead of patroniz ing our home merchants, arise Gleaners' Christmas Harvest. There was a good crowd at the City Hall last night to attend the Glean ers' Harvest, and all who were present were 4 much pleased. The Hall was tastefully . arranged,' and there were many things to catch the - eye and please the fancy pL . the passer-oy. All who attendee! xne iesuveu vu- joyed themlT.., and we trurt that the amount, realized was such as to amply repay all those who were in- Aiear. A ins the worthy - cause; for which itwas given, WILMINGTON, N. Xoctl Dot -The Chicago Board of Trade will be closed from the 23rd to the 7th inst. . The New York Cotton Ex change will be closed from the 23rd to the 27th inst, 7" The J. Epps referred to in the Mayor's Court -yesterday is not J. Epps the elder in St. Stephen's church.

The Liverpool Cotton Exchange closes on the23rd inst.,from 1 p. m.'to the 27th, and from 4 p. in. oh the 80th to January 3rd, 1888. The Gem Restaurant, which has bean recently greatly injured by fire, has been remodelled and refitted and will be re-opened to-night. One of the window panes in the Btore of Mr. R, M. Mclntyre broke last evening, which is supposed to be due to the settling of the front. Mr. Hatchett, who is to take charge of the local department of the Messengerr favored us with a call yes terday. We welcome Brother Hatchett to the hospitalities of our city. The Norwegian barque Verona, Nielsen; was cleared yesterday for Hamburg with 3,967 barrels of rosin. The rosin was snipped by Messrs. S. P. Shotter & Co., and valued at $4,- 053.14. A city - "Pastor Conference" was organized yesterday afternoon with Rev. T. H. Pritchard, D. D., President, and Rev, J. W. Primrose, Secretary. The Conference is to hold monthly sessions. The ladies of the congregation of St. James' Church are requested to meet at the Sunday School room, back of the church, between the hours of 10 and 12 this morning, for the purpose of dressing the church for Christmas. Mayor Fowler gives notice that the ordinance prohibiting the firing of Canton crackers, &c, will be sus pended from Deeember 23d to Janua ry 1st. But do not forget that all that part of the city West of Front street is forbidden ground. The boys are already making tremendous preparation for their Christmas raid on the larks and spar rows. They are hiring guns, loading cartridges, repairing game-bags, and cultivating the friendship of divers and sundry bird dogs. Mr. J. H. Chadbourn, Jr., Su perintendent of the Wilmington, Chadbourn and Conway Railroad, was here yesterday. He states that a large party of excursionists may be expected in Wilmington from Con way and Chadbourn, next Tlfursday, by special train. The Augusta Chronicle sayi thare are thousands .down that way who firmly believe that the West Point Terminal Company will event ually eontrol the whole Southern railroad system. But the Stab does not believe it will ever control either the Atlantic Coast Line or the Sea board system. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina, will convene in Raleigh Monday even ing, January 10. All the railroads will issue round trip tickets at re duced rates. Return tickets should' be called for at point of taking cars on ach independent line to prevent payment of full fare both ways. The foregoing announcement is official, coming from Mr. D. W. Bain, Grand Secretary. Express Packages. In addition to what was said in the Stab recently concerning Express packages during . the holidays, the annexed paragraph from an exchange is of interest; ........ "The Express Company is begin ning to feel the holiday rush, and this week the messengers will have their hands full of Christmas pack ages. The Southern Express office here is preparing for the rush, and with its excellent system of handling packages, the office, anticipates no difficulty. One of the things which many shippers do not think of and which greatly facilitates and aids Srompt delivery is the manner of ad ressing packages. Many packages and in fact the majority, are simply marked with the name of the con signee and the town or city and State. The street number is hardly ever used. If it was the company would be able to deliver the packages several b.ours earlier thanit does." Mayor's Court : The following eases came before the Mayor yesterday: " Richard Herring, colored j one of the gamblers who was arrested Sun day morning and was released on bail, was surrend ered by his bondsman and locked up. - v India Davis, coloredl disorderly conduct. Continued until to-morrow" morning. , . - . .W. B. Gordon, drunk 'and disorder- ly Dismissed with the understand? ing that he leftLfor his home, imme diately and cautioned, fcotvto repeat the offense. f V : "V-: V C, WEDNESDAY; DECEMBER 21; 1887. Anoihercold WtTr. 1.1 At the same time the storm was prevailing on the South" Atlantic Coast last Saturday, another was brewing in Texas, which is now on its transit across the continent and causes rainy, stormy and generally disagreeable weather along its pas sage, c Yesterday morning it was cen tral in Tennessee moving in a north easterly direction. The barometer in the immediate centre of the storm registered 29.60 inches and the temperature through the South ranged, from 58 to 68 degrees. In the extreme west a " high barometer made its appearance with its customary lower tem perature, and the great divergency in the atmespherio pressure will tend to precipitate the cold wave in this section with unusual severity. The lowest temperature recorded in the northwest yesterday morning was 16 degrees below zero. The total rainfall in this city yes terday was .55 of an inch. The following telegram was re ceived from the .Chief Signal Officer at the Signal Office in this city last evening: - "Washuigton, D. C, Dec. 20, 6.15 P. M. Hoist cold wave signal. The temperature will fall twenty degrees or more by 7 a. in. Thursday. Gbkklt." The beginning of the cold wave was felt as far east as Tennessee by 10 o'clock last night and will reach this section to-day. Tbe New Rector of SC. James. The Rev. Robert Strange took for mal charge of St. James Church last Sunday, and delivered a sermon which was not only practical but earnest and full of thought. He de fined his position according to the doctrines of his Church, and was lis tened to by a large congregation with great attention. Mr. Strange was ordained in April, 1884, and has been actively engaged in ministerial .work ever since. In November, 1885, he was called to the Church of the Good Shepherd at Ra leigh, and resigned this charge to ac cept the rectorship of St. Jame&. Mr. Strange will receive a hearty welcome from the people generally in this city, for he has many friends and well wishers in his old home, out side of his own congregation, who feel a most kindly interest in him. The new rector of St. James will, no doubt, he most acceptable to his con gregation, for he is earnest and prac tical, and has ability and energy and all the qualifications so necessary for pulpit work and pastoral duties. Tbe Trees oa Market Street. Many ot the trees on market street are dying and some are already dead, and it is suggested that the city au thorities look into this matter imme diately. These, trees should be re placed at once. Below is an extract in regard to planting trees, which can be read with profit: "I believe if careful and systematic experiments were carried on in tree nlantine. the fall would be found a better season to plant than in spring; the ground is warm and jnolst, in trie best condition for tho formation of roots, the air is moist, and there are not the fierce, drying winds of early spring, or the liability of a June or July drought soon after the tree is planted. "Most fruit trees may be planted suc cessfully in the fall, winter or spring, any time up o the swelling of the buds, or a little later. If the winter is- mild, in the Southern States the fall is doubtless the best time to plant. If the winter is unusually cold and wet, the spring is the best time. The difficulty is that no one can know in tne fall wnat Kind or weatner win oc cur during the winter." Tne Cnrlstmas Busk. The rush for Christmas goods has commenced though there was a lull yesterday on account of the inclement weather. Our merchants are busily engaged from morning until night in waiting on customers, and the ex press office is crowded with packages to go to their different destinations. Our city now 'presents a busy ap pearance and numbers of strangers visit our merchants every day. and make their purchases of Christmas. The prices of different novelties range a little lower much to the de light of the irrepressible small boy. The holiday trade is excellent, and home shoppers are turning out in full' force whenever the weather permits. The goods of the different mer chants are arranged most temptingly and the stores generally present an attractive appearance. Election of Office re.
