The sugar growers of Louisiana propose to hold a convention in New Orleans on the 11th inst. to consider the Interests of their industry. It is hoped they will not raise Cain, r Snapping members of Congress had to submit last month to a dock ing of salaries for lost time. It is said that the remarks indulged in by some of them were more emphatic than parliamentary. Senator Washburn thinks the Re- Dublican party should look to the West for its Presidential candidate. If the Republican party did the proper thine it would take to the woods and pull down the signs. A German steamer, struck by a sudden storm in mid ocean, and being short on oil tried soap suds as a sub stitute and found that it did splen didly in breaking the force of the waves. Here is another proof that even the sailor shouldn't go back on soap. According to Bradstreet's estimate there are 215,000 men now idle on account of the" coal and other strikes in this country. This means that there are 215,000 people wage earn ers who are earning nothing, and that means the loss of a good deal of money to merchants and others who supply their wants. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, thinks that if Coxey's men want work and 'Will work .they should be fed, if not they should starve. They want work so bad that they refused an offer of $500 to clear a small thicket on the suburbs of Washington, an offer made by a sympathetic man who wanted to give them something to do. "Gen. is hung Kelly's Coxey contingent up at Des Moines, Iowa. The railroads refuse to dead bead them, and the men swear they will not walk. Kelly is now thinking of taking water, and rafting them down the Des Moines, into the Mississippi. And then he will not be much'better off than he is now. Kelly should disband his army and go back to his bindery and bis wife and children. Judge Cooley said in an address to the law students of Ann Arbor, Mich igan, law school the other day that individuals had no right to petition Congress in person. Whether they have the right or not it looks like employing an unnecessary amount of brawn and bone to take several hun dred or several thousand, as the case may be, to tote a petition which wonld make much better time by mail and be quite as sure of reach ing its destination and accomplish ing its purpose. ' .A practical joker perpetrated a joke by sending to Senator Quay a nicely bound book entitled on the cover "What Congress is Doing. Senator Quay opened it, looked through it, smiled and laughed. Then he passed it to Vice President Stevenson who did ditto, and then sent it to Senator Peffer who did ditto, and thus it passed around the Senate and all the grave, &a, seigniors did ditto. They thought it a good joke. But there are lots of people in this country who would relish the joke more if there wasn't quite so much truth in the jest. The book which so excited Senatorial mirth was filled fall of blank pages. JMEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Heinsberger Duplicate whist. -Ladies Memo'l Asso'h Notice. MASONiC-Meet'g Plantagenet Com'ry.

OLD-TIME BEMXNISCEHCXS.; Tho Yellow revet visitation in 1862 lt. Johnr M oXjanrin's Talk to the Night Class at the T. If. O. A. At the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation last night, Mr. John McLaurin gave to the members of the night school a most interesting account of the terri ble epidemic of yellow fever which so scourged this city in 1862. Mr. McLau rin was then in the employ ot the old Manchester railroad as it was called now the W., C. & A. holding a govern ment position, and his duties kept him in the city the whole time. He did not have the fever himself, but knows all about it. He is one of, he thinks, not more than half a dozen now living who were here then. The fever was brought to Wilmington. in.the latter part of August. 1862. by the steamer Kate, from Nassau, in the West Indies. There were several deaths be fore the disease was pronounced to be yellow fever, but it soon became epi demic and raged for ten . weeks, during which (rme 827 persons died, sometimes as many as 40 tn a single a ay. adoui one person died out of every three who took the disease. The building now occupied by Adrian & Vollers was turned into a hospital. The deaths were so numerous that many coffins had to be brought from a distance, and no pretence of holding funerals was thought of, except that in some cases the Baptist pastor would bold a short ceremony at the grave. The greatest mortality was among foreigners and poor people. Very few comparatively of the Wilmington people took the fever, especially of those who were able to provide the needed reme dies and were careful of themselves. Still three ministers, Mr. Graham, of St. James' Church, Mr. Pritchard. of the Baptist Church, and Father Murphy, of the Catholic Church, died of fever. Every physician in town had the fever. most of them slightly, but two died. It became necessary to have more help in this work and several doctors and nurses came from Charleston to fight the dis ease. The city was soon deserted by all who could possibly leave. Those obliged to stay were anxious to have all others go, as it lessened their own danger. Great numbers went to Waccamaw Lake, some to Launnburg and other towns and many moved to the Sound. But these last fled in vain, for the disease followed them and many died there. It was at first thought that the colored people would not have lever and they were usually left behind. At first this very general idea seemed correct, but after a while they began taking it, too, and nun dreds of colored people died, before frost came, and ended the plague. Mr. McLaurin said that one could scarcely imagine the funeral pall that bung over the city during those terrible times. He would often go from his bouse on Third street down to Market and Front in the middle ot a week day without meeting a single person. Even the drusr stores were closed for a time until the authorities ordered them opened again. Yet the injury to busi ness seemed to be only temporary, and when the fever was over and people came back the streets soon resumed their wonted appearance, ihe irre parable loss was in the death of citizens and friends, many of the leading mer chants and public spirited men being numbered among the missing. There were many instances of self sac rificing heroism. Several men remained in the stricken city only to care for the negroes who had been left by their own ers and died, giving their lives for the poor creatures. Many characters, for merly supposed to be worthless, the very scum and riff-raff of the town, staid to labor for their neighbors many dying ot the plague; some living through it and becoming good citizens, as if the dross and evil was scourged from their lives by the fires of affliction. Crime was a! most unknown; courts of law and order entirely so, and the churches were locked and closed. The citizens formed a Howard Asso ciation to care for the sick and suffering, no doubt thus saving many lives. Mr. McLaurin also briefly told what yellow fever is: That it begins much like other levers with a chill, &c. A very high fever for a few days and usually in six days all was over. Though in some cases the patient lingered for weeks. Isolated cases of fever have occurred twice or three times in the thirty-two years since that time, but there has never been another epidemic. Welcome Bains. 1 There was rain yesterday all around Wilmington but none in the city. Per sons arriving last evening on the C. F. 4 Y. V. train reported good rainfall along the line ot the road from Mount Airy to near Wilmington, and reports received from along the line of the W. & W. R. R. were that there were heavy rains between Wilson and Warsaw. Toe cotton region bulletin for the 24 hours ended at 6 p. m. yesterday, re ported 6-100th of an inch of rain at Char lotte; 0.40 at Cheraw; 0.05 at Florence; 0.28 at Goldsboro; and 0.14 at Greens boro. In other districts of the cotton belt there were good rains. A TRAVELLING "D0CT0E." He Is Creatine an Bxoiisanen in South Carolina Keraartrabls So-oaUed Core. Some years ago, it will be remember ed, a so-called "Doctor" was In wn- mington and performed what were thought to be remarkable cures. Among other patients was the late Mr. las. B. Orrell, who had been afflicted with rheu matism for years, and. who was com pelled to nse crutches. The 'Doctor." after vigorously : rubbing Mr.' Orrell's limbs, told him to throw away his crutches, which he did, and walked around tn the admiring crowd without assistance. It was not long, however, before the old malady returned to stay. This much by way of introduction to the following special from Spartanburg, S. C, to the Columbia State: T - Spartanburg. May 6. Dr. Leo's ad vertisement stating that he would cure a man whose right arm had been paralyzed for thirty years drew another verv large crowd to town yesterday. About noon. his minstrels marched down from the Windsor Hotel, followed by the little medicine man in a landeau. As on for mer occasions, the minstrels iollied the crowd up with their songs, Jokes and dances. Leo then made a very taking little speech, telling the people at its close that he was now ready to.make the cure advertised. T. R. Atkinson, a substantial farmer. from Clarence, this county, was the patient. His neighbors say that for thirty years or more his right arm has been absolutely useless, and prominent physicians certified that the member was entirely paralyzed. After Leo had rubbed it for some time, thirty minutes perhaps, with his liniment, he told At kinson to get up and put on his coat. Atkinson said he knew he couldn't, for he hardly remembered ever haying been able to do that. Loe laughed and commanded him to try, whereupon the patient flung on his coat with as much ease as John L. Sullivan could. Cheer after cheer went up from the crowd and Atkinson joined them with tears of gratitude in his eyes. He says as far as he can tell, he is perfectly cored. A STB0JTO TESTM0NIAL. What a Leading Sduoator Thinks of the American Xneyeloptedlo Dictionary. The high standing of Capt. Washing ton Catlett, Principal of the Cape Fear Academy, both as a scholar and an edu cator, gives a real value to the annexed testimonial: Wilmington, April 11, 1804. Mr. W. H. Bernard: Dear tr: X nave examined very carefully Hhe-lst Part of the American fc-rcyclopaedic Dictionary. I am really surprised at the excellence of the work. both for itsintnnsic merit and its price. 1 have made a parallel comparison with Webster's Unabridged; and with the Centurv, published also in parts, costing me sa.iu per volume; or, complete, 100, I nnd tne American encyclopaedic Dictionary superior In many respects to Webster's Unabridged, and for general purposes equal to the Century. The type is distinct and full, the illus trations numerous, the derivation of words scholarly and accurate, the definl tions exceedingly complete and verified by many extracts from leading modern authors, the encyclopaedic information very full, the diacritical marks plain, with prominent equivalents at bottom ot each page.

LADIES' OAKDALE MEMORIAL KHIGHTS OP PYTHIAS. Expected Visitation From Grand Chan cellor Erbert. The Grand Chancellor of the State of the Order of Knights of Pythias, Mr. Eugene A. Ebert, of Winston, who is on a tour of official visitation, will be pres ent in Wilmington Thursday the 10th, and that evening will make an official visit, to me tour lodges of this city, as sembled in joint session in their Castle Hall on North Front street.

Watson, three ladies, and a little girl were on Monday night returning home from church, they were ran into at Seventh and Mulberry streets by a bicycle. Mr. Watson states that two of the ladies were knocked down and considerably bruised; that there was no brake on the bicycle, that no bell or gong was rung, and that the injured par ties had no knowledge of its approach until it was on them. In this connection it may be mentioned that some drivers of vehicles in this city seem to think pe destrians have no right of sidewalks and streets, but that if the pedestrian arrives first at the street crossing he must pa tiently stop and wait for a vehicle to be driven across it. Married in Texas. The Columbia Register of yesterday says: "W. b. Radford, travelling agent of the Atlantic Coast Line Road, was married in the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, last Wednesday evening, to Miss Carrie Morrison, a daughter of Colonel and Mrs. A.

To prevent his congregation from be ing disturbed by persons .rushing out and slamming the doors during service at an alarm of fire a few nights ago the pastor quietly asked some one to step out and ascertain its location, which was announced to the congregation and so relieved their fears and anxiety that they quietly retained their seats and listened to the sermon.

A Maryland Paper Says It la the Only Way to Make Money Out of Oysters. There is encouragement in the an nexed article from the Cambridge (Md.) Democrat, to those interested in oyster culture in this section : "If money is to be made out ot oysters in the future, it must be by planting. The natural beds seem to produce less each year, and the cost of taking them varies but little, so that the profits to the oys terman are slowly but surely dwindling away with the come and go of the sea sons. Capt. Sam Gray, of Gray's Island, on upper Fishing bay, has demonstrated that there is big money in planting. Dur ing last month he had two vessels run ning plants from James river, Virginia, to his oyster grounds at Gray's Island, and this week he has taken two loads of shells from Cambridge to the same planting grounds, showing that his ex perience only more strongly convinces him of the wisdom ot planting. Capt. lames Todd, of Straits, has been shipping first-class oysters this year from shells planted about two seasons back, and many others in the county have obtained the best results from scattering shells. In different parts of our tidewater territory many oyster lots have been "taken up, and every holder , of one should put either shells or small oysters on it this spring. The shells that lie heaped up on Cambridge wharves should never be allowed to go outside of the county limits, and it is a reproach upon the industry and enter prise of our business men that they are not spreading them in creeks, coves and inlets, and on appropriated lots. Dor chester bottoms are now producing some of the best oysters in the world, and we are sure that, with a tair trial, success can be achieved in planting." Fishing Excursion. About fifty excursionists went down the river on the Wilmington yesterday morning. Twelve of the party got off at the "Rocks" and the remainder- at least all who did not get off at South port went outside to the Blackfish grounds. The fishing was poor both there and at the "Rocks," but the trip, nevertheless, was very much enjoyed by all. St. James' Sunday School. The annual festival for the children of the Sunday School will be held to-night at 8 o'clock. Contributions of ice cream, cake, candy, sc., can be sent to the Parish House at any time during the day.
