J. Sterling Morton, of Kansas, who is to be Secretary of Agricul ture, is a sterling Democrat. There js a proposition to haye AVashington's Farewell Address read on the 2Zd inst. before the Pennsyl vania State Senate. It will be news to some of the Solons. I It is said that President Harrison is receiving some large offers from publishers for articles from his pen. One on "How I Didn't Get There" might be read with interest. " : The casualties so far reported from the Kansas war are a "bloody nose." In this respect the Kansas fracas gets away with the Hawaiian "revolution," which , was entirely bloodless. The largest diamond in the world is .said to be an uncut one among the Crown jewels, of Portugal, val ued at $28,000,000.

' : - j Garner, the Frenchman, who has gone into Africa, to learn monkey talk, struck the Congo chills before he had time to make arrangements for his monkey sociables. This has retarded his progress somewhat but has, not chilled his ardor. Third officet Dakers of the British ship Huron, realized the truth of the saying that "it is better to be born lucky than rich," when a big wave washed him overboard, and another big wave landed him on deck again, very wet but not much hurt. Mr. Haden, of Atlanta, Ga., is in teresting himself in the effort to draw European immigrants to Georgia., He has recently visited Europe and while there made ar? rangements for the distribution of pamphlets descriptive of that State and its resources. . The nationality of the Sandwich Islands was recognized in 1842 by : the Government of the United States r which took the initiatory steps, and shortly afterwards by other Govern ments.

General Alger does not seem to be in love with Mr. Harrison "who," he says, "never acknowledges a favor ' and with great regularity sat down - on every man who had been useful to him." Perhaps Mr. Alger may find - something soothing in the way the People sat down on Mr. Harrison. Property owners along the line of inaugural parade are getting rich enough nowjto live for the next four r five years without work. Sights from which' to view the parade are selling at about $4.50 square inch.

' The settlement of the vexed rail road question at Rale'ghJ which was foreshadowed in the Star yesterday, is a fit subject for sincere congratu lation. It is the result of a compro mise which seems to be! acceptable both to the Mate and the officials of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail road. It is to be ratified by the Leg islature, but there seems to be no reasonable doubt that this will be done. ' ' '. t Governor Juan Manuel Flores, of the State of Durango, Mexico, is happy enough to dance a fandango because he has struck it rich. He says he has found the gold mountain of Aztec traditions, in which he says there is more gold in value than there is now silver on the face of the earth. Like a prudent fellow he re fuses to tell i where it is. We don't blame him. That's what we'd do until we had staked off oui claim, fenced it in, and got some bull dog. Mr. Kennedy, of Blount county, Tenn., thinks Tennessee is good enough for him. He is now living in the house in which he was born 92 years ago, and has no idea of going West to grow up with the country. It is said that Gladstone smokes cigarettes. But he knows when to quit, and is satisfied with a whiff or two. The ordinary cigarette smoker hasn't that much sense. It may seem somewhat paradox ical that it takes the heat of one ton of coal to make cold enough to pro duce five tons of artificial ice. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. A. Springer Coal.

C, Feb. 18. The Leg islative Railroad Committee and officials of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company to-day arrived at a final set tlement of the surrender of exemption and back-tax question, and the last pro position made by the Committee to the Railroad Company has been agreed upon. The Committee modified the terms so as to make them acceptable to the - Railroad Company, and they sig nified their acceptance to-day. Re presentative F. S. Spruill, Chairman of the House branch of the Railroad Com mittee, . authorizes the following statement of the settlement with the railroads: The Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company is to pay to the State three years back taxes on branch lines, and a sum equal- to three years taxes on the main line and all other property the years designated being 1890, 1891 and 1892 and is to pay to counties on branch lines, three years back taxes, and to pay to counties and cities along the main line two years back taxes for 1891 and 1892. All immunities are to be sur rendered, and all rate-fixing rights The Railroad has accepted the propo sition and the matter has now only to be ratified by the General Assembly, which will undoubtedly be done. Dr. and Mrs. PeschauV Birthday Becep- tion. ; : . Many friends of Dr. and Mrs. Peschau called at their residence yesterday and congratulated them upon their birthday anniversary. A delegation of the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals waited upon Dr. Peschau and informed him that he had been elected an honorary member of the association, and at the same time presented him with an autograph album containing the names of officers and members of the as sociation. In the evening Prof. Miller's orchestra called and rendered some fine music. Dr. and Mrs. Peschau were the recipients from friends who called dur ing the day, of many tokens of friend ship and esteem . A Flash of liiRhtning. The Charlotte News can't bring about a collapse of the hoopskirt by such special pleading as this : "No woman ribbed around with steel would feel comfortable in an electric car. and the consequences of a car full of crinoline and electricity might give the News a full page local. .The anti-crino-line club-owes tbe AVzwavote of thanks for this pointer, for. deprived of street car privileges, the women of Charlotte couldn't get along at all." Electricity in a street car will possess no terrors for the wearers of crinoline, for tbe women all know, and Wade Harris knows, that every well regulated electric car is provided with a reliable conductor. I A Harnett Hunt. ; Mr. B. Gunner Em pie has returned from a hunting expedition to Harnett county, where he and Sheriff Stedman spent three days. For two days they were water-bound, so to speak, not being able to take the fields on accpunt of the heavy rains. They had about six hours of fine sport one day, bagging thirty-five partridges. The Sheriff played the "old Harry" with feathers "and sich." He had plenty of shots, but unfortunately he shoots from the "left" shoulder, and, consequently don't always shoot "right." In other words, he sometimes gets left." But when it comes to twisting a Chatham county rabbit out of a hollow tree, or shining a coon's eyes with a lightwood torch the - Sheriff is "right thar." : ' 1 " . ' - Weather Bureau Changes.

Draw ings were exhibited showing the plans of buildings, etc. at the proposed quaran tine station, and of ,'the apparatus to be used in disinfecting vessels, cargoes, clothing, etc., with full and interesting explanations of the use of the apparatus. A copy of a bill prepared by the Board of Health, which it is proposed to sub mit to the Legislature, was read. After brief expression of views on the part of some of those present, the fol lowing resolutions submitted by Mr., H. C. McQueen were unanimously adopted, viz.: ' '1 . .

Special Star Correspondence s - Raleiqh. N. C, February 18. There was an exciting scene in the Senate Chamber this morning just before that body was called to order. The dause ofj the flurry was a personal altercation be-" tween Senator W. H. Day, of Halifax, and Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the : North. Carolinian.. The facts appear to v: be that Mr. Day seeing Mr. Daniels in the aisle of the Senate talking, called him up and told him that he had been ' misrepresenting him and his motives. He said that Daniels ; had been saying that he (Day) had fought him- for public printer ' because he . was the ..; attorney of the Wilmington . and Weldon Railroad. . Mr. Day told Mr. Daniels that this was a lie and that he would so denounce it on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Daniels retorted that Mr. Day was representing the interests of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail road in the Senate, whereupon Mr. Day struck, him a staggering blow with clenched fist squarely in the face. Mr, Daniels retreated backward and did not ' attempt to return the blow. Several ; by standers ran in and taking hold or Mr. Day bodily carried him off to an other part of the chamber, he roundly denouncing Mr. Daniels all the while. The - Senate chamber was already ' crowded, the hour ot meeting being just about at hand. - A large number of . ladies were seated in the gallery and they gazed down upon the combat in the arena below with apparently as much 7 awe as the packed amphitheatres have watched the gladatorial contests of pre ceding centuries. The excitement surged for a few moments during which some' of Mr. Daniels' friends seized the oppor tunity to run around among the Sena tors and propose upon the strength of the fight to hold a Democratic caucus " and vote Mr. Daniels his old pay of fif teen per cent, again as fublic rnnter. This boom, however, did not meet with much enthusiasm among the cooler heads. - The Senate .was soon called to order and the excitement subsided. It is understood that Messrs. Day and' Daniels met afterwards and adjusted the difference amicably. CRINOLINE COMING. Philadelphia Modistes 8ay it Will Come and be "Welcomed. The Star doesn't propose to get itself into a scrape with the anti-crinoliners, 1 so it makes haste to announce that the -Philadelphia Record is responsible for the following . "It is almost certain that crinoline and hoopskirts will return, and I believe that the ladies will not only wear them, but will welcome their return," said one of the best-known Philadelphia modistes, 5he added: "For the protest will, be of no avail. What fashion decrees the ladies will accept." And this is the opin ion of nearly all the fashionable modistes. . The present outcry against the hoop skirts and crinoline is only another in-v stance of history repeating itself. Since the first advent of this style of 'dress, kings and emperors of different coun--tries have issued decrees against it; the : Churches has preached against . it, and societies have been organized to wage war against it. But crinoline and hoop skirts thrived upon all this, and the crinoline grew stiffer and the hoopskirts stouter, so that at one time it was not Unusual to see a skirt seven or eight . yards in circumference. , , Died from His Injuries ' - Mr, Wm.
