The Raleigh Evening Mirror, pub lished by Messrs. Roberts, Betts and Cheek, made its first appearance Monday. It is a neatly gotten up and sprightly paper. It has the Star's best wishes. It has been discovered that cotton seed oil applied to metallic surfaces will prevent corrosion. The Repub lican party has a large stock of brass in its cheek. It should apply. a good deal of cotton seed oil and also take some internally. ; Out of the $60,000,000 of gold coin exported from this country to Europe this year $175,000 got back to New York on the Umbria last Saturday. Our business men won't take any umbrage at that if the amount was small. Portugal has made a reduction of about nineteen cents a bushel in the tariff on wheat Last year we expor ted 3,000,000 bushels to Portugal, and as the price will be that much re duced to purchasers by taking off this much of the tariff, the exports will probably be larger this year. Miss Kluffkuffskya, a denizen of Brooklyn, is charged with alienating the affections of another girl's fel low. The conduct of Miss K skya should be judged with considerable leniency, for there are few girls who wouldn't break the regulations or even do something desperate to get rid of a name like that- Virginia honored herself Tuesday m the noble tribute she paid to the memory of her immortal son, Stone wall Jackson. Aside from the fact that his hame is honored by all Southerners for his brilliant achieve ments and noble virtues, North Car olina honors him and lays special claim to him for the additional rea son that his "better half" is a North Carolinian. In an Ohio town a few weeks ago a local minister, who belongs to the church militant, headed a mob which demolished a saloon, and then the saloonists, not to be outdone in courtesy, reciprocated the Rev. gen tleman s attention by demolishing .his house. When it comes to reai demonstrative courtesy it isn't easy to get away with the Ohio man. The Augusta, Ga., Chronicle says is estimated that Qfl ner cent, of the cotton crop this fall will be cov ered with jute; reason because the jute trust has collapsed and come to terms with the farmers. To the North Carolina Alliance belongs the "edit of being the first to kick against the jute trust and initiating the organized opposition that finally got it down and brought it to terms. . l J -.! t 1 a I i Z Pf. owim vie Cents per week.

Owen, of Warsaw, has shown us a journalistic relic highly prized by him, a half sheet of the Wilmington Gazette, of the Issue of January .9, 1800. It was a five column paper, and doubtless a good one for its time. . The relic is some what the worse of age and wear, but was evidently highly treasired for it is braced in the rear by the appli cation of an old deed which is stitched to it. The printing is some what dimmed, but the first thing that struck our eye, which was partially legible, -was a report to the Honor able Assembly by a committee ap pointed to investigate alleged frauds in the office of "the Seceretaryof the State, ' from which it seems they had 'em in those good old days. It was something about issuing duplicate land warrants,' which were not war ranted under the law. Rudyard Kipling says he writes all his poems on an ernpty stomach. No wonder that his poems are a bust. There is nothing in an empty stom ach to inspire poetic thought. It is the very last thing in the world that any other poet would have selected to "write on," and if Rtid expects to succeed he must show more discrim inating judgment and choose more poetic themes for his muse to maul. The Western fanners of this coun try are not making wry faces over the failure of the rye crop in Russia. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Lost Pocket-book. Munson & Co. Prices down. Wm. Bonitz To excursionists.

The rain area discovered by the Weather Bureau in Florida Tuesday, moved up the coast yesterday, Savannah reporting a fall of 1.32 inches in 24 hours. The Grand Lodge Knights of Honor, , will go on an excursion to CarolinaBeach this afternoon, as guests of Carolina Lodge, No. 434, of Wil mington. ; The proprietor of the well know Bonitz House in this city has re duced the rates for board and lodging, to soldiers and excursion parties, to 25 cents per meal and 25 cents per lodging. U. S. Commissioner's Court. Robert Hewitt, of Shallotte, Bruns wick county, was brought before U. S. Commissioner R. H. Buntingyesterday, charged with selling tobacco from other than original packages selling manu facturedplug:tobacco.from a cracker-box Hewitt was required to give bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the next term of the U. S. Court. Hewitt was not arrested lor "selling without license," as . previously stated. Tobacco dealers are not required to have license now. f Miss Helen JPowle.

It is also more than . probable, (the Star is requested to say) that Miss Mary Lily Kenan will also lend her fine voice for the occasion. This, in addi tion to the three otner superp voices that Capt. Cunwngham brought with him from Richmond, will render the programme perfect. Admission 50 cts. Reserved seats at Yates' book store.

Early yesterday morning a bear was discovered about three miles j from Wrightsville, on the Gordon road, lead ing from the old plank road to Frank's landing, and the neighbors were soon notified and started in pursuit. As the arms were all adapted for small game, and loaded with small shot, many charges were fared, but the bear was finally killed. He measured eighteen feet in length and five feet around the body. Pio-nio at Catharine Lake. The annual pic-nic by citizens of On slow county at Alum Springs, near Catharine Lake, will be given on Tues day, August 4th. It is expected that a very large crowd'will attend. Annual Encampment. MORE RAIN AT WRIGHTSVILLE. Camp Fowle Under a Cloud, but the Military Undaunted Work Goes Steadily Onward Visit from the Southport Band Gov. Holt in Camp Important Hatters Discussed with the Officers. . . . Rain, rain, rain! When the history of the Wrightsville encampment of 1891 is fully written up "rain" should be named as the beginning of every day's proceedings, and an occasional shower should be interjected as a part of the day's work. This has been the rule since Camp Fowle was established, and yesterday j failed to be an exception. Fortunately there have been no really heavy rains nor showers, and while some discomfort has been experienced, the daily; routine of camp life duty has been regularly carried out. Then there hade been compensating circumstances attending the cloudy.threatening weath er in the fact that the men have not suffered by the heat of the sun's rays, and have been able to perform their va rious duties in comparative comfort. GUARD MOUNTING. The guard mounting yesterday morn ing, as conducted by all the regiments, was exceptionally fine and was the sub ject of much favorable comment by the lookers-on, both military and civil. The guard duty is also performed in a much more soldierly manner than at first, and in fact in every detail of camp-life there is a manifest improvement and betokens more of the real military spirit as the days pass by. . Col. Olds is indefatigable in his efforts to make the quartermaster's department all that it should be, and he has been eminently successful in his efforts. He is, without doubt, the busiest man in camp, although all the officers pay the strictest; and promptest attention to their duties. The duties of Col. Olds, however, are more diversified and greater than any other one officer, and he is constantly on the move and is seen in so many different places in a short space of time that he almose seems to possess ubiquitous power. SOUTHPORT CORNET BAND. During the forenoon the Southport Cornet j Band arrived in camp and marched immediately to the head quarters of the Second Regi ment, where they were most heartily welcomed. After a few moments the band formed in a circle and played sev eral pieces very finely, and especially so for an organization that has not been in existence but about a year. The band consists of 15 pieces as follows: S. S. Drew, solo B flat and leader; W. W. Weeks, E flat; Robert Davis, E flat; Fred. Harper, piccolo; J. N. Daniels, 2nd B flat; Clarence Holden, solo alto; Al bert Dosher, 1st alto; Robert Wescott, 2nd alto; (the two last named are aged respectively 12 and 11 years and they played with remarkable precision both as to time and tune); W. H. Foster, 1st B flat tenor; P. Furpless, trombone; R. L. Powell, baritone; W. S. Dosher, bass tuba; Robert Newton, bass tuba; J. T. Holden, snare drum; R. Weeks, bass drum.: When they had concluded the third piece Maj. Walker Taylor, of the Second Regiment, thanked them heartily and kindly for the entertainment and bade them a cordial welcome to the hospital ities of the regimental camp. Members of the Wilmington Light Infantty gave them three rousing cheers and a tiger, and the band withdrew. THE FISHERMEN. There must have been a large invoice of fishing poles and hooks and lines sent to camp within the last day or two, as every man who leaves there seems to be armed with all the necessary appli ances for catching the finny tribe, and they ; have proven themselves in the main I quite successful, as nearly every one who returns to camp brings with him not only his fishing tackle, but a large string of fish. These are soon dressed, cooked and then a hearty meal follows, with but little regard for the hours of regular meal time. Every one seems to be fond of fish, and all are improving the splendid opportunity afforded to feast themselves to their heart's content. THE LIVERY MEN are doing a thriving business in trans porting soldiers aad - civilians to and from camp. Wagonettes and other ve hicles are generally crowded, both going and coming, and although the fare is but five cents for the soldiers and ten cents for those in civil life, the uumber of passengers -who had rather pay for a ride than walk through the mud and water is so great that a golden harves for the carriage owners is the result. Every one rides and every one pays for the blessed privilege. , AT WRIGHFSVILLE and all along the route from the station to the camp grouud a spirit of quietude seems to have settled down like a calm after a storm. There was no excitement, no unusual commotion, nor anything to show that the encampment of the State Guard was almost in sight. Groups of soldiers paraded she streets at intervals during the day, but they were so orderly in their conduct and. the people had be come so accustomed to the sight that they excited no marked attention from the citizens. The ladies pursued their usual avocations and entertained their guests as if nothing out of the ordinary course was happening in their immedi ate vicinity, and the gentlemen smoked their post prandial pipes as peacefully and quietly as if there was not a soldier in the universe. MEETING THE GOVERNOR. At 3 p. m. yesterday, upon invitation of Brig. Gen. John W. Cotton, all the commissioned officers of the State Guard met in the tent of the Young Men's Christian Association for the pur pose of considering matters pertaining to the interests of the organization as to promoting Its efficiency and service. His Excellency. Thomas M. Holt, commander-in-chief, in assuming the chair, requested Lieut. Col. E. G. Har- rell to explain the object of the meeting as set forth in the call. Upon motion of Inspector General Smith, Lieut. Col. E. G. Harrell was elected seesetary. Brigadier General Glenn stated that he felt the necessity for a State organi zation of the Guard as a branch of the .National uuard Association. He gave many excellent reasons as to the value and importance of such an organization and upon motion of Maj. E. F. Young, it was resolved that a STATE GUARD ASSOCIATION, be organized immediately. Upon motion of Capt. Leo. D. Heartt a committee of seven was appointed by the chair upon organization in which he included all branches of the service. Un motion of Capt. William mack, a committee was appointed to make a thoroughrevision of the regulations of the State Guard. Capt. Lloyd said that it was exceed ingly difficult to compel the members of companies to attend the Encampment at a sacrifice of their time and daily wages unless the State should at least pay a per diem sufficient for providing the necessary food for the men while in camp. (jov. rlolt made a lew remarks upon the matter of better subsistence of the State Guard. The State cannot over estimate the value ol the Guard and its importance in securing the peace and prosperity of the State. He was hearti ly in favor of asking the State for better support and when the Guard meets in annual Encampment for the purpose of in struction it was the bounden duty of the State to support the ;men so that they should be at no expense whatever while in camp. He would ;most heartily t& commend a larger appropriation for the Guard in his next annual message to the Legislature. NAVAL MILITIA. Brig. Gen. Cotton suggested that some steps be taken towards organizing a North Carolina marine militia. Gen. Glenn did not think he had the right to organize or move in. the matter until the question should be brought regularly before the Legislature. He was heartily in favor of a marine 'militia for North Carolina. Col. Anthony stated that it was his opinion that the ' present laws of the United jStates permitted the organiza tion ot the naval militia at any time. Gen. Glenn said that AttorneyvGen eral Davidson had just gone to Wil mington to thoroughly investigate this matter, and that action would be taken just as soon as possible. Inspector General Smith favored a board for 'the examination of officers elected before they should be commis sioned. This would be the surest way to make the companies more efficient. The meeting then adjourned to 11 a. m, to-day. SKIRMISH DRILL by the Virginia regiment at twilight was a magnificent success. The bugle and whistle were used in giving commands, and flags for signals. A crowd of visi tors witnessed the splendid drill, and cheered it heartily. The fire and retreat was exceptionally well executed, as was the charge and fire. GOV. HOLT SERENADED. A very pleasant and much enjoyed part of the dav s happenings was a serenade to Gov, Holt at the head quarters of Adjutant General Glenn by the Second Resiment Band. Theer TAR were several prominent military officers with the Governor, besides those of his staff. After the serenade. Governor Holt thanked the members of the band for the compliment in a very happy and pleasant way, and was frequently heartily applauded by the crowd. He paid a deserved -compliment to the band, and was proud, as a North Carolinian, that we had such a fine musical oraamzation. OFFCERS FOR TO-DAY. Field Officer of the Day Major E. F.

Holt, will come off this afternoon at 5 o'clock. It will be under the command of General Cotton and promises to be the most brilliant and interesting feature of. the whole En campment. There will be a very large and appreciative crowd to witness it. The Virginia regiment will be in the pa rade, and will, doubtless, be a very prominent feature. The General's staff and all other field and staff officers will be present, and the music will even sur pass all former efforts. Gen. Charles Anderson, of Virginia, and other distin tinguished military men will witness the parade. IN AND AROUND CAMP. Peace and quiet still reign. T. H. Partrick is a very efficient officer. No remarks hereafter concerning the weather. The soldiers are here and the enemy will soon be "bottled-up." There is nothing short about the Sampson Light Infantry. It has not get been decided who is the best looking man in camp. Couldn't the N. C, S. G. if called to Tennessee help to quiet the riot? There seems to be a bootblack to about every third soldier in camp. There is some talk of wanting a booby" prize in the target contest. The three restaurants just outside the camp are doing a good business. The "fresh-fish alliance" has conclud ed to give a hearty support to the sold iers. There is but one case of sickness in the camp hospital a slight fever case. Gov. Holt was in camp all yester day afternoon and seemed to enjoy him self. Mr. J. A. Parker, of Goldsboro, is in camp, the guest of the Goldsboro Rifles. Too much can not be said compli mentary about the cleanliness and order in camp. There were more visitors in camp yesterday afternoon than at any time since it began. H. Russell, of the Virginia Regi ment, is considered one of the best drilled men in camp. , A. Cohen, Co. V, First Regiment, challenges any man in camp for a cham pionship game of checkers. A genuine pig-fisb was caught by a crowd of Virginia boys yesterday while coming through the camp field. Lots of veterans of the late war meet and talk of old times down at camp. It is real camp-fire talk. Some extravagant dancing by a colored man excited some -attention at the pavilion yesterday afternoon. Skinner and Pendleton of the Ox ford Company rush things in camp. They are known as sun-flower men. L. L. Robertson, Co. F1., First Reg iment, Warren Guards, has a record as the highest kicker among the Guards. Sheriff J. A. K. Tucker, of Pitt county, arrived in camp Tuesday night, and is the guest of the Greenville Guards. Second Lieut. R. W. King, of the Greenville Guards', made his appearance in camp on Tuesday night and at once reported for duty. Our type-slinging friend and for mer citizen -Willie Burch, is in camp with the Greenville Guards, of which he is a member a "high private in the rear rank." , The avenue of theFirst Regiment has been named ""Wood," in honor of their gallant and popular Colonel.

If he makes half as good a lieutenant as he did a guard, we congratulate Company A, Third Regiment. , A very pleasant surprise to the headquarters of the different regiments was an official visit by all the Virginia officers in full dress. They are not only fine looking, but exceedingly social and entertaining. Both the visitors and the visited seemed to enjoy it very much. . Corporal O. E. Dudley, Co. A Third Regiment, from Winston, has been appointed inspector of Rifle prac tice. Fourth Regiment. This is a very good appointment. Corporal Dudley is a very distinguished marksman. Mrs. T. L.
