In the Second district tfiey have nominated a man named Saurherring. Congressman Abbott, of Texas, who was a candidate for re-nomination and over whomjthere was such a hard fight, got there but it took 3,- ;i!78 ballots to do it. Anarchist Mowbray, of England, has become disgusted with this coun try and struck out for England. His vnnity was wounded because the papers of this country didn't thiok him as an important a personage as he thought himself, and spoke of him cafttemptuously. The Republican party has made two conquests this year. J. Hamp ton Hoge, of Virginia, who serpen tined it too much across the conti nent arid failed to reach Amoy, and H. L. Sewell, of Maine, who, as Consul at Samoa, was too free in his criticisms of Government policy and was bounced. The Secretary of the Navy has been having a torpedo boat tested which seems to lead anything in vented in that line. It can run for six hours totally submerged, making eight knors an hour, and on the sur face can run eighteen hours, making sixteen knots an hour. It is per fectly manageable. The women of Munich may be daisies. The editor who referred to one of them as a "Staatsschulden tilgungskassabnreauslehrerswittwe " doubtless thought they were, but if he should pay such a compliment as this to one of our women she wouldn't know how to take it or what to do with it. The demand by Secretary Gres ham that the decree of expulsion issued by the Nicarguans against the American residents of Bluefields must be annulled and suspected Americans given a fair and speedy trial will bring the Nicaraguans to their senses, especially since the de mand is backed up with the intima tion that if necessary it will be sup ported by some warships. '., Last Tuesday the Durham Sun which always shines brightly, entered upon its last half of the six years it has been published under the man agement of Editor Robinson, who is always interesting and by his talent and industry has given Durham a paper of which it has every reason to be proud. nve congratulate Mr. Robinson on his success and wish him continued prosperity. , We sometimes hear of darkeys bleaching and becoming white, but we do not often hear of a white man becoming black. In Timble county, Tenn., two white men took refuge during a thunder-storm under a poplar tree. The tree was struck by lightning, and the men were so badly stunned that it was some time before they recovered consciousness. Neither was seriously hurt but one of them had turned as black as the ace of spades, all over, and at last accounts continued so. B.C. Ridenhour, of Cedar county, Iowa, was a thrifty sort of a fellow. The State pays a bounty of $5 on wolf scalps, and he saw in that an opening for an industrious, enter prising man. The auditors of Lynn, Muscatine and Cedar counties were amazed at the number of wolf scalps he dumped upon them, and investi gation showed that he was buying them in Omaha and other towns for sixty cents and turning them over to the State at $5 a scalp. In addition to this, he was doing a considerable importing business from Canada. He has retired from the scalp business and gone to jail. Late fires have done an immense amount of damage in the forests of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Washington. In the last large areas of the forest white pine timber were destroyed. At 2 cents a pack duty the Treas ury counts on a revenue of $1,000, 000 a year from playing cards. It would look from this that the aver age American takes an occasional hand. A Kentucky farmer has raised a gourd which holds twenty one gal lons and one quart, and it wasn't a good year for gourds, either, out there. Japanese agents in Vienna have purchased 200,000 needle guns, with which they will present their compli ments to Li Hung Chang's soldiers. The tax frauds at Memphis are growing. They were reported at $1,000,000 some time ago and have increased to $4,000,000. SEW ADVERTISEMENTS. At Hilton Some fun. E. VanLaer The undersigned.
