The Crop Far 8hort of Expeotationa Piio'ea Adva' oingPeanat 'Decoration : An Interestiog Curio at the North ; The Nua Commercial Value A ' Pre i ventive of Intoxication. 3 : 1 ; 1 i i i ! The crop ol peanuts in this section this season is far short of expectations, a leading dealer estimating that it will not exceed 75.000 bushels, while the crop of last year was fully 125.0U0 bushels, j Es timates of the ' Virginia crop cannot be obtained, but it is believed that this crop is also short. ; l j 1 In New York city, the Sun says, the shortage in .the crop is likely to agitate a great many persons, for in Gotham, the Jhabit of eating peanuts is more general in ceitain districts than in San Francis co, Chicago or St. Louis, Which are the three foremost rivals to the metropolis in the consumption of the leguminous nut. . The peanut eaters of the great cities are provided for chit fly by jthe crop yielded by the peanut farms of Vir ginia and North Carolina. This crop, it is announced, has this year fallen ' short bl 4.000.000 bushels, and there is a con sequent advance in the wholesale price. The quoted market rate is now j five cents a pound, but the numerous Italian Counts who are interested in the- retail trde still adhere to last year's rate of ten cents a quart, and are therefore en titled to and will doubtless receive the gratitude of Gotham's peanut eaters, par ticularly on the Bowery, where a supply of peanuts has from time immemorial, been part of the theatre outfit of the bumble and enthusiastic patrons of the drama. . - -.' i ; . I ! In times gone by certain residents of the metropolis, suffering from the lack of knowledge of the great American peanut, have affected to despise it, and to corn the taste of those who choose it as a delicacy. Bat it is worth noting that the peanut has risen superior to this misuken prtjjdice and has forced the respect ot many who thought j con temptuously of it by becoming an obj-ct of art as it were. Every New Yorker accustomed to use bis eyes around holi day times has seen the proof of this in novel ornaments that have appeared in the shop windows. With a paint brush sk.l'ully bandied, and bits of bright colored Cloths or silks, artists j have been able to metamorphose the peanut into an object that unites hu mor with an inherent beauty of aspect mat is remarkable. Peanut dolls and other things have now a recognized mar ket value as curios, and it is a fact to tne eternal honor of the lowly nut that artists of local renown have not thought it derogatory to their art to buy them selves in the aosorbing pastime of pea nut decoration. Peanut dolls are found adorning mantels in many studios, and elaborate art works, in which the peanut, has plaved the most important part, are exhioited in costly gold frames. ; Tiiose wno think jstigntingly of the peanut, forget its adaptability to many useful commercial purposes. The nut has long been valued for its oil. The seed contains a fluid that is an excellent substitute for, and is often sold as olive od. By beating the seeds before press ing them another sort of oil is secured that is useful -in the making of soap. The seeds themselves have also been used in making certain kinds of choco late. Those who would S;eak con temptousiv of the peanut are undoubt edly ignorant of the tact that the vine that bears the nut is in itselt an interest ing curio in Northern climes, quite as much indeed, as the cotton bad and branch. . If the dried vine be varnished and painted and the nut j gilded, a parlor ornament is obtained that is sure to attract the interested interest of the owner's visitors. These decor ated vines are so seldom seen in New York that they may be classed as verita ble curiosities. The mere method of growth of the vine has always been an interesting study to botanists, and espe cially to those who have acquired a lik ing for that fascinating science. The vine grows a peculiar pod, which, after the vine has fliwered. is gradually forced down into the ground by a cuii ous propulsion of the vine sulk. Once safety under ground the pod enlarges and grows a thick, netted shell over the fruit. No other plant j has this , singular method ot developing its fruit. Added to its many other uses the peanut has of Me revealed a property as a preventive of intoxication that has won for it the respect of those who are accustomed to dally ' with the flowing bowl. As a turnip will absorb water, so the fruit of ihr peanut has a comprehen sive faculty for absorbing alcohol, and preventing it from demoralizing the nerves of the stomach and upsetting the thinking machine. It is estimated, for example, that if a man drinks a q tart ot champagne and eats a pint of peanuts, the peanuts will overcome the ineorlating quality ot the wine without curtailing us exhilarating effects. At ten cents a auart the population of this city are getting something which, considered as a luxury, is well worth the money. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.

No Boats from Tayetteville An Ice Block adeThe Steamer Iiisbon lee-Bound on Black River Bafts lied-up and Aban doned. ! . ' ' '.r t-- There has been no boat from Fayette- ville this week. None need be expected until the ice in the Cape Fear river breaks up, and from present indications; it will be several .days before this hap pens. : j . ' ' The steamer Hurt, Capt. Black, ar rived yesterday evening from Black river, and brought news of the situation of affairs on that river, which enters the Cape Fear about twenty miles above Wilmington. ' The river is frozen from shore to sborekt many places this side of Point Caswell, but the ice was rotten and the Hurt had little' difficulty in get- ing through. VThe Cape Fear river, just above the mouth of Black river is frozen clear across. Rafts along the Cape Fear on the way to Wilmington are tied-up and abandoned by the raftsmen. I The steamer Lisbon, running on the upper Black river between Long. View and Clear Run, is fast in the ice in Beatty's bridge reaches, with two large flats loaded with rosin and turpentine. Capt. Moore, of the Lisbon, says that a gorge has been formed tor . about three miles and the ice is piled up several feet in height. - I Snow commenced falling at Point Caswell at S p. m. Wednesday and was followed by sleet that fell until early yes terday morning. It began snowing again at 9 a. m. yesterday and continued until 3 p. m. The trees are burdened with sleet and limbs breaking of!. The roads are impassable on this account in every direction. J ' . Oddities of "Dr. BUI." i The merry comedy "Dr. Bill." will be seen at the Opera House to-night. This company comes direct from the Garden Theatre,' New York city, where they recently closed a very successful en gagement of 104 nights. Of them the Providence Journal says: 1 All together the play and the players are the most satisfactory seen for a long time. The particularly pleasing feature ot "Dr. Bill" lies largely in the fact that every character is a comedy one there is nothing truly serious about it. That which in the action of the comedy might be grave, owing to the danger involved bv mistaken identity, is really the con sistently humorous part of it. Thought less husbands and wives, an ambitious father-in-law, a fiat-beaded dude,1 a frolicsome variety actress and a jealous superintendent of police seem to get hopelessly mixed in flirtations and counter-flirtations, but as all concerned final ly get to behave like rational beings, the barmlessness of the supposed wrong doers becomes apparent, and reconcilia tion becomes the business of the whole company. There is an entire absence of any suggestion of coarseness in the whole comedy, and its fun is legitimate. " ttedioal Talks' at the T. M. O. A. . Doctor W.

The- idea of the "Talks" is to give young men some practical information on useful topics; and to make them more helpful, an opportunity will be given after each lecture for any one in the audience to ask questions on the topics discussed.

D. i Caraux, Jr, WHOLE NO. 8.042 A QUARANTINE STATION. Southport Leader, January p. The report that the quarantine station for the pott of Wilmington would be built on what is known as Dan's rock, a small mud flat lying between I Battery and Stryking islands, southeast of South- port, caused considerable unfavorable comment; in this city. The Leader is glad to state that this will not be the place selected by the Quarantine Board for the station hospital, and other build ings, but some place farther up the river, probably! opposite Bowensville. Plans, specifications and estimates have been made in regard to this most necessary establishment, which will be presented at a meeting ot the Quarantine Board, probably held at Southport to-day, as Doctors Thomas and tJurbank are ex pected jto be down by the Wilmington at noon. j . -- ; - The Board intends to present the matter of a suitable quarantine station for the port ot Wilmington, one similar to those, found at other Southern ports, to the present State Legislature and ask for an appropriation sufficient to build and equip one. This port is practically unprotected now and unable to cope with any epidemic should one. enter. It is not only a matter of one city's in terests, but the entire South stands im perilled as well. The quarantine grounds now used are not where they should be. They are too near Southport, and every person here will be glad of a change to some place higher up the river. The place known as White Rock, southeast of Price's creek light, is an ex cellent place for the location of a quar antine station. It possesses the advan tages of being fairly well protected from wind and water, can be reached at low water, does not endanger Southport. is well isolated, and near it quarantine grounds for vessels can be established which will be out of the way of the regular river traffic and not endanger or stop commerce on the Cape Fear. The action of the Board will be watch ed with great interest as will its recom mendations which must meet general public approval and co-operation. .
