Whether the President intended this as a recogcitibn of the services of Senator Ransom or not, he showed discriminating judgment in the selection; for few men could be found better qualified for the posi tion, which he will fill with credit to himself and the Government he represents. Mr. Addicks, of Delaware, has his hands full !n trying to run himself into the U. S. Senate and look after a divorce cise at the same time. The total bids in New York for the $62,000,000 U.

It is said by travellers in Africa that the grip is an importation from that country, and is a mild form of African fever. A disease of that kind could never have come from a thoroughly civilized country. It is pretty generally understood in official circles in Washington that Postmaster Ceneral Bissell will re sign, to take. effect in April. The reason assigned, is that there is too much work and it isn't congenial. Ex President Harrison says he isn't hankering for a presidential nom ination, but he takes interest enough in the developments to subscribe to the press clipping bureau and keep posted! - . . A Wisconsin paper says that State once had a superintendent of public schools who spelled gone "gon" and whole "hole-" He was a phonetic sup. This is proof . that Wisconsin bad bad spells of other things as well as weather. . In 1893, for the first time in four years the births in France slightly exceeded the deaths. But it is not saying ,much for- the morality of France when it is stated that 76,000 or 8.8 per cent, of the births were illegitimate. - A'couple days ago the President asked three of the members elect to Congress, who called on bim, how they would like to be called back to Washington about -the middle of March. This Is considered a "straw,' pointing to an extra session. Thtj latest about Li Hung Chang, is that he has been conspiring with other high officials to get rid of the present dynasty. . remaps nis may account for his appointment as a peace envoy to Japan, the Emperor hoping that if he , gets out of China he may never get back. It cost this Government $224,- 514.37 to run its side of the Bering Sea arbitration" business, of which the thirteen lawyers employed got $121,396.02, the clerks $12,555.49, and the arbitrators $40,000.

C SUN I -for the Star. A LOCAL &EMIHISCENCE. ! A f lend of many years recently called my attention to an old document in his possession which was nearly fit :y years old, and very ' gravely isked me if I recognized it. A single glance was sufficient, for it brought up recollections of the most p'easmg character in con nection with scenes and incidents of the past, but which were also saddened by the thought that so lew' of those whose signatures were attached to that instru ment cf writing, and wi h whom my friend and myse f bad been so intimately associated in public and in private fatfairs, were still living. - . Ab.ut the year 1815-8 the lastThalian Association was organized by certain . gentlemen in Wilmington for mental improvement, ana the cultivation U a pure dramatic art. They gave a number of performances with great success, and to the delight of the public generally. But they labored under the great d sid vantage of having no wardrobe, and con -srquentiy when a p'ay was cast, each actor would dr. s tne character be as sumed accord irg to his own fancy and in many instances they were not only in bad taste but sometimes even bordered on the ridiculous To obviate tb s tt WcS finally determined to purchase a compete wardrobe, and arrangements were made witn a house in "New. xotK who agreed to lurmsb one for ti-e sum of lour hundred dollars ess i. The as sociation did not have the money in its treasury at the time, s it become neces siry to go into bank and borrow it, which was done, and a note for the sum need ed was drawn up and" signed by A'fred Martin. John L. Meares and toward D. Hall and was discounted at the Wilmington branch of the Bank ot the State . and made payable to Wm. E Anderson, cashier. The money was remitted and the war drobe followed in due course. It was expected, and the expectation was hap pily real ztd, that sufficient tunds would be derived from the performances to take up the note, which made those gen tlemen personally rt sponsible, and to se cure them against the possibility of loss the members of the association signed an obligation, duly attested, to bold them harmless in case the note should not be paid at maturity, and which obli gation made eacb member whose signa ture as attached inble for bis propor tion pro rata. . But no such contingency happened, for the note was promptly pi d ar d no assessment upon the mem bers became necessary. That was the document presented to me a short time ago by my lnetd Dr. W. W. Harnss. with tne enquiry before men tioned, and wbo still has it in h s possession and would not part wnb it for scarcely any consideration As I g zed upon the signatures on that worn and laded sheet ol paper, memory ecame busy wuh the past and 1 could scarcely realize the fact that nearly ball a century had el' psed since the execti tion ot that bond by those who were then in the flush of lusty youth or the vigor of stalwart manhood, nor how soon and how rapidly their ranks would be thinned by the gnm reaper.

It is sad to reflect that ot these thirty-four nearly if not quite tnree-lourtt s bave long since passed away, a large nnj rity ot whom enjoyed but a brief tenure of life. . Tnere are now but ten survivors of those whose signatures are attached to that bond, who yet linger on the stage of life, a beggarly half-score, and they are among tbe greybeards ot the cuy whom the youth ot tbe present day are apt to stigmatize as od losses, ana to whom they tbicK tbe remars super fluous lag ihs veterans on the stage" is justly applicable. But they are still here, at least for the present, tnougn braised and battered by tbe storms of life.
