The Democratic State Convention of Louisiana adopted a platform and nom inated a State ticket with Gov. Mc- Enery at the head. The unsettled condition of political affairs in Southern .Brazil continues ; in Pernambuco a popular uprising took place against the Governor ; in a conflict that followed, sixty persons were killed or wounded ; the Governor has since resigned. A riot occuned on a railroad train near Birmingham, Ala., in . which one man was killed and another fatally wounded. The cotton-crop, in sight, is 5,796, 290 bales. There was a short ses sion of the House of Representatives 'yesterday; a concurrent resolution was agreed to providing lor a holiday recess from Dec. 23rd to Jan, 5th. A rev olution has broken out in Gautemala. Specie imports at New York for the" wcc'k' amount to $1,085,180. The last spike on the Roanoke & Southern railroad, between Roanoke, Va., and Winston, N. C, has been driven. N.

Field is a first-class lunatic or only a second-class forger. Baltimore papers are discussing the "old oyster question." We never discuss the old oyster down here. We always take 'em young and iresh. . When the hungry Europeans have been duly initiated into the myste ries of American corn bread, they will conclude that this is really a great country. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says "it costs only $100 to hang a man according to the Ohio plan of penitentiary executions." Well, if that is so, why in thunder ain't there more Ohio men hanged ? The bank of England holds in its vaults $125,000,000, and the bank of Germany ,$200,000,000. If they wiil enter into correspondence with T. Reed, ex-Czar- of the 51st Congress, he can tell them how to expeditious ly get rid of that surplus. The home market is all right as far as it goes, but if it hadn't been for the foreign market, which the high tariffites have been doing so much to destroy, what would the Western wheat growers do with their rattling big surplus this year? Mexico must be an inviting field for the tooth artist, when he gets $10 for pulling a molar, $100 to $150 for a set of teeth on rubber, and $1,000 for plugging, with gold, a mouthful of grinders. At these prices, the dentist seems to also plug the wearer of the teeth. - There are portions of Southwest Mexico which have been so little ex plored that very little Is known about them. The latest discovery reported is an Aztec city with stone buildings, and a population of 4,000 or 5,000 in the mountains of an almost im penetrable section. Some of the editors In Pennsyl vania are getting into trouble for criticising Judge Hugg. The didn't make any puns on his name, nor anything of that sort, but simply some reflections upon proceedings in his court, which he Construed as con tempt of his judicial dignity. . Sir Edwin Arnold, editor of the - London Telegraph, who is now lectur ing in this country, says th'e papers in this country are too care less in their style, and that no piece of newspaper work should be turned out in less than three hours. If that's Sir Edwin's style of running a newspaper, he'd be turned out of the American newspaper office in about three hours himself. That might do for London but in this country newspaper -men have to Ihustle around faster than that before the news gets cold. 1 VOL. XLIX.-NO. 76. - A singular incident occurred in New York a few days ago. For three days the attention of passen gers on the elevated railway was at tracted to a man looking out of a second story window, about whose appearance there was something to xcite comment and sometimes jocu lar remarks: At the end of three days a police officer,-to solve the mystery as to why the man remained in that window so long, went up stairs, found the door locked, broke it open, and found the man dead. He had been dead for three days, and the corpse hung out of the win dow for three days, seen by thou sands and "not one ever suspected death. In his pocket was found a letter addressed to Tiis wife saying that he felt very ill, as if he was going to have an attack of apoplexy, and that,' in thie event of death, he had a certain sum of money on his person and a couple hundred dollars in a bank. The impression is that after he wrote the letter he went to the, window to get air and died while leaning out of it. Some of the critics from the effete monarchies of Europe think Ameri can girls have too much liberty. These critics have not a thorough conception of this country nor of the American girl. They do not realize that there is liberty enough over here to go all .'round, and that the American girl is perfectly com petent to manage all of it that falls to her share. The only notable in stances where they show inefficiency in this respect is when they surren der their liberty and their bank ac counts to titleddventurers from the effete monarchies.

Gathered Here and There and Briefly Noted. Returning turpentine hands say they are having "hard times in Georgia." Two members of the Local staff of the Star are unable to report for duty. Some of the merchants report trade much better the past week than was expected. The market was well supplied yesterday with venison, wild ducks, rabbits and squirrels. A new brick sidewalk is being laid on Seventh street, between Market and Dock, west side. Why in the world is a turkey called "dressed" after all its clothes have been taken off? Interments the past week in the city cemeteries were reported only from Pine Forest four adults and one child. Mr. John H. Hanby is building a number of small houses on the vacant lot .corner of Seventh and Orange streets. One white and two colored couples ventured into matrimony the past week, after procuring license from the Register of Deeds. The shell road on Market street is reaching Tenth. We hope it may soon be finished, as it will be a lovely drive for those going to the Sound in vehicles. The Weather Bureau, Wash ing, D. C, telegraphed to the Wilming ton station last night that the cautiona ry storm signals were ordered down at Charleston, S. C. Not satisfied with catching fine trout and shooting Mallard and Summer ducks. "Capt." Tom Burnett has turned his attention to trapping and brought in a large otter Friday last as one of his trophies. Workmen are pulling down the old shanties on the lot for the new court house, corner of Princess and Third Streets, preparatory to driving the piling for a loundation for that building. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C, says the Child's Prohibition bill will be voted down in the Senate. One of the special objections urged against it is that it will practically give an odious monopoly to druggists. A man who claimed to be a painter by trade, accompanied by his wite and two children, made application at the City Hall yesterday for assistance to enable him to obtain work. He said he was from Norfolk, Va., and trying to reach Charleston, S. C. A called meeting of the Board of Directors of the Wilmington Sea coast Railroad Company was held yes terday morning, at which Col. E. S. Latimer tendered his resignation as President of the road, which was ac cepted, and Mr. Geo. R. French was elected to the vacancy; CITY MARKETS.

A "DANDY" SCHEDULE. What the S. A. L. Thinks of Doing for the Carolina Central, Wilmington and Charlotte "One of the Finest." Though not yet "passed both Houses" and "approved by the President,' it will interest the readers of the Star to know iust what sort of a schedule is under ad visement for the Carolina Central Rail road. If adopted, there is to be but one pas senger train between Wilmington and Charlotte, leaving here at 3.45 p. m., ar riving at Charlotte at 10.25 p. m.; leaving Charlotte at 5 a. m. and arriving here at 11.45 a. m. . Under the present schedule business men can reach Wilmington at 7.40 a. nr., remain in the city all day and leave on the return trip at 7.15 p. m. Under the proposed schedule a fellow can come to Wilmington, take a couple of cocktails, eat his dinner, and then rush right back home to digest it. Or he can go to Charlotte, drink "Tom and Jerry" an hour or so, take a "cat nap." get up before daybreak and reach home in time for breakfast. These be trans portation "facilities" the like of which have" not been known since the locomo tive was invented. Passengers leaving here for points west of Charlotte will be allowed to lie over in that handsome city only about eighteen hours, which is painful to con template, as no ordinary man can "do up" the Q. C. in less than two days. It is given out that this new move ment has been inaugurated for the pur pose ot reducing expenses; and it is hinted by outsiders that steps will be taken immediately to prevent any in fringement of the rights of the inventors of the S. A. L. Economizer. The new schedule, if adopted, will be a "dandy." and "don't you forget it." THE LUTHERAN MISSIONARY. Bev. J. A. B. Scherer a Son of North Car olina Scherers in the Ministry Fare well Services, etc. Rev. J. A. B. Scherer, who preaches to-day in the Lutheran church, is a na tive of North Carolina, and was born in Salisbury. He belongs to a family of preachers. In the last fifty years there have been twelve representatives of this branch of the family alone in the Lu theran ministry of America. Rev. Mr. Scberer has three brothers in the Lutheran ministry to-day. They are located as follows: Rev. M. G. G. Scherer, Mt. Holly, Pa.; Rev. W. J. D, Scherer. Fairfield, Pa.; Rev. L. P Scherer. Salem. Va. His father and also his grandfather were Lutheran pastors, and so were all his uncles but one. The most of them have preached in the Old North State. The Scherer is both an unusual and also remarkable family of ministers. This will be the last Sunday Missionary Scherer will spend in North Carolina. His venerable mother accompanied him to our city and with him is a guest of Rev. Dr. Peschau's family. Farewell services will be held in the Lutheran Church on Monday night. In these impressive services Miss Schwarz will sing a solo, the Misses Stolter will sing a duet, and others will assist in the church music. All are welcome. The Dog Market. There is an evident weakness in the dog market. A colored citizen from the Black river section has been here two days trying to sell a canine of the femi nine render. She is a nice little com- 0 - pound of terrier and hound. Of course the owner came to this office. No fel low ever has a sick dog or offers one for 'sale in Wilmington that he is not sent post haste to the field edi tor of the Star. It does not seem to be known that he buys only about four dogs every year ; and, more remarkable still, these curious cultiva tors of canine cusses are utterly oblivi ous of the fact that our D. D.'s prescrip tions are warranted to kill without hav ing to use the second barrel. But, to "return to our mutton," the brother in black from Black river, with the black-and-tan dog assured us she was "bully" on rabbits and mighty "peart" on 'possums. He said Mr. Burruss, of the Wilmington Fox Club, told him we wanted a deer dog, and while his dog was not " 'sperienced arter deers he knowed "She would dearly love to run 'em -if she had a fair show." Black River wanted to sell his dog for $5.00, but the best offer he could get from our field editor was fifty old newspapers and the original copy of a piece of "declined" Spring poetry of the usual pattern At last accounts Black River had dropped his price to $2.50, with no buyers In sight. Dogs is dull ! SUNDAY SERVICES. The services in, St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, corner of Market and Sixth -streets, Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, D. D., pastor, to-day will -be held in English both at 11 a. m. and at 7.30 D. m. All are welcome at the services. Scandinavian services at 3.30 p. m. Services in St. John's Church to-day as follows: Holy Communion at 7.45 - a. m. Morning Prayer and sermon at 11 a. m. Evening Prayer at 5 o'clock. Sunday School at 4 p. m. CHRITSMAS WEATHER. What May Be Expected From the Record of Ten Tears Post. The raw cold northeast -wind, and what might be termed anti-Christmas weather that we have not been enjoying for the past few days, - is,- the Weather Bureau people say, due to the fact that we are right between a "High" and a Low." Now, that's not encouraging, but still it can't last forever; though it does give us anything but a "high old time" in the meantime. Yesterday there was a high atmospheric pressure just north ot us" from which there was a steep gradient of over half an inch to a "low" just off the East coast of Florida. The atmosphere abhors a 'low" just as nature does a vacuum, and when one appears everything starts to wards it to fill it up. The greater the difference between the "hih" and the "low," the more rapid the atmospheric movement. This is the reason for the brisk northeast winds which have pre vailed along the coast for the last forty- eight hours, and for which the Weather Bureau ordered the cautionary signals displayed night before last. By special request Mr. F. P. Chaffee, in charge of the Weather Bureau -office, prepared a statement of the wmd.weather and maximum and minimum tempera ture at this place each Christmas during the last ten years, which is given below. and from which one can draw his own conclusions: Max. Min Year. Wind and Weather. Tem.Tem 1881. East. Partly cloudy. 61 35 1882. East. Partly cloudy. 55 35 1883. Southwest. Rain. 65 57 1884. North. Rain. 48 37 1885. Northeast. Rain. 58 40 1886. East.

Sellers, of Brunswick county, doesn't know about herbs and coons is hardly worth investi gating:. In his medical practice he never prescribes anything but vegetable decoctions, and when it comes to bag ging coons he never uses powder and pellets, but relies solely on three dogs that thoroughly understand all the weak points of those ring-tailed "varmints." One night last week the "Doctor" took a little "round" through the swamps in his neighborhood, and they do say that he and his three dogs had fun enough to start a circus. The coons "fout" and the dogs "fcut," and Br'er Sellers he "shout" " until, finally, he wound his horn and gave the signal to "cease faring. You may Dtneve it or not; but the net result of that hunt was eleven full-grown coons. William "Wins. A telegram received here from Wash ington last evening brings the intelli gence that Mr. W. S. O'B. Robinson, of Goldsboro, has captured the Receiver ship of the First National Bank, and will take charge as soon as the report of Examiner Alden is submitted to Comp troller Lacy, and the required bond is given. Mr. Robinson is well known in Wilmington, . where he has many friends. He is a Republican in politics, of course, or he would not have received the appointment; was U. S. District At torney for the Eastern District of North Carolina under the Arthur administra tion, and a very unsuccessful candidate for "Congress against Hon. C. W. Mc Clammy in 1888. Intellectually, he is very bright; and socially he is one of the most genial and companionable of men. Narrow Escape. An accident that might have been at tended with very serious results hap pened yesterday morning about nine o'clock, at the residence of Mr. A. t. Lucas, on Tenth and Market streets. Two children ot the family Chauncey, aged six, and Ida, aged two years were together in a room, standing near the fireplace, when the little girls dress caught fire from the open grate and she was soon in a blaze. Both children screamed and the mother and several other persons rushed into the room and tore the burning clothing- from the child. The only person reported as having sustained any injury was the little boy, whose right hand was slightly burned in trying to save his sister. Weather Forecasts. The following are the forecasts for to-day : For South Carolina, showers, slightly warmer in interior, stationary tempera ture on the coast, northeasterly winds. For North Carolina, showers, north eastly winds, warmer, except on the coast, stationary temperature. Yesterday's "Weatner.

The " Pay Train," Tuesday, Dec. 22d. This beautiful play will be produced at the Opera House on Tuesday, Dec. 22d. After this season "The Pay Train," Florence Bindley's famous play, will not be . seen except in the largest cities, where the company can remain a week or more, the scenuTand mech'anical ef fects being too heavy and complicated to warrant a -performance in what is known to the profession as "one night stands." A force of .six stage carpen ters, three property men, and an electri cian is carried by the company. The finest display of diamonds worn by any actress in this country is made by tfce charming little soubrette, Miss Flor ence Bindley, of "The Pay Train" Co., h.r collection being valued at over $75, 000. ' "Our Country Cousin," Wednesday, Dec. 23rd. "Our Country Cousin" was witnessed last night by one of the best pleased audiences of the "season. It is a good play, and the company is far above the average. Frank Jones, as a generous, unsophisticated country cousin, elicited he?rty applause from the audience, and the support came in for a good share of it. It is one of the best comedy com panies on the road. Clarksville, Tenn., Evening Tobacco-Leaf Chronicle, Nov. 13, 1890. "Two Sisters," Christmas Eve Matinee. "It is safe to say that a better pleased audience never left Music Hall than that which witnessed "The Two Sisters" last night. The success of this play is evidence enough that pure, wholesome fun, pathos and music are as capable of entertaining as ever. We wish to speak as highly as possible of this play as a conspicuous example of bright, innocent and refreshing drama. If there were more such the stage would be better off. Louisville, Me. Evening fournal. RIVER AND MARINE. The German barque Patonia, from Hamburg, Nov, 3rd, for Wilmington, N. C, put into Falmouth, Engon the 16th, leaking. The schooner Othello arrived at Sbuth port yesterday. New York Maritime Register: "If we are to judge by the shipbuilding returns our shipping interests have improved" during the last fiscal year. There has been a gain of over two hundred and fifty thousand tons in the amount of our shipping tonnage during that time. The larger part of this is in coastwise and inland vessels, but nearly sixty tons be longed to the registered or ocean going class. Iron vessels built represented only one hundred and five thousand tons, showing that wood still holds a most important place among our ship building materials. Despite predictions to the contrary our sailing tonnage has gained in amount, and indications point to a further increase, as the em ployment of large sized sailing vessels promises to be steady for some time to come. We still rank next to Great Britain as a shipowning power, and there is a sort of feeling growing that the day is not far distant when we may push hard for first place, impregnable as her position may now appear to be upon the ocean.
