It is reported that ThomasA. Ed ison has discovered aprocess of hardening aluminum as hard as steel. Nothing is too hard to believe of Ed ison. : The latest in reference to the Ven ezuelabusiness is that Venezuela, acting on the suggestion of the United States, has made advances to England to settle their real estate dispute. Senator Dubois predicts that "the Republican party will give' us free silver," If there is anything that the Republican party will not "give u," before an election, we would like to have Senator Dubois, or some duly authorized person, nominate it. Mr. J. W. Woodson, of Cuero, Texas, says the Mexican weevil did an immense amount ot damage to the cotton crop in that State last year, the crop in whole counties south of Cuero not amounting to enough to justify packing. There is danger of its spreading and becom ing a serious menace in that and otner cotton states f unless some effective way can be found to check its progress and stamp it out. The ordinary poisons used to kill other insect pests seem to have no effect on it. 1 They are getting the postal busi ness down pretty fine all over the world. As a proof of this two years ago a postmaster-in a town in Aus tria made a wager with a friend that a letter addressed-to any known place in the world would be returned to the place of writing if the person ad dressed could not be found. He thereupon addressed a letter to him self in a town in China, which in due time came back stamped in French ah eueri is Deing maae to get a A rr - . pardon for John Y.

Now, let some dear-money newspa per show how such ticket can secure a two-thirds vote in the convention. Give us the figures, It will require about 600 votes to nominate. Since the little Presidential Quay boom was started in Pennsylvania. the Senator announces that he is "in the hands of his friends. The Can didate who puts himself "in the hands of his friends" had better keep his eye peeled to see that too many of those "J riends"' don't put their hands in his pockets. I Mrs. Lease is reported to have abandoned politics and will take to the pulpit. She didn't discover how wicked politics was until she got .sick, when she repented.

After the woman had departed, Mr.Caronthos p- w cleric noticed that the stock of apples outside had diminished. He immedi ately went after the ' woman and over took her at the posteffice. He asked her for the apples, which he supposed she had. She at ! first denied that she had taken them, but upon the clerk threatening to have her arrested she "shelled out twenty-five apples from a basket which she had on her arm.

Denny, has made two or three success ful trips, and this week landed nineteen barrels of black ; bas3, three hundred pounds to the barrel, which made the last catch worth over $100. She. is now lying at Southport, preparing tor ! an other expedition to-morrow. ' The clam shippers have their head quarters at Wrightsville and Southport, and have shipped over one hundred thousand bushels so far this season.; Mr. W. A. Sanders, a prominent shipper, in forms the Star that there are over thirty clam boats regularly engaged in this business, and that the best gather ings are found in the sounds in Bruns wick county. From Shallotte, Tubbs and Little river, five thousand bujhels were shipped last week. Shipments will gradually increas: until the season closes. ' ; fx. ; :. ; . .

The Fair project for the Fall of 1896, which the Star has mentioned hereto- . i " fore, is still being worked and boomed in a quiet way by several of our enter prising merchants. The Star was in formed yesterday by one, of the mer chants that a large list of subscriptions had been secured and several business men had donated large amounts, and several tracts of land had been offered cheap f it the purpose of holding a Fair. The membeis of the Gentlemen's Driving Club are in favor of a Fair as well as most all citizens, and they doubt less will make proper subscription.! After the Newbern Fair closes 'com mittees will be appointed and a meeting called to organ 'zt the Wilmington Fair Association, so that sufficient time be bad to get up a first class affair. - City Comt. - Tony Ashe was arraigned before Mayor W. N. Harriss yesterday, charged with having aided and abetted R. F. Holmes, the colored policeman, in his malicious assanlt upon Mr. R. F. Hamme, on the 7th of Febi u iry. 1 ! When the case was called and after the witnesses for jthe State had! been -i sworn, David B. Sutton, Esq., counsel for. the defence, announced that they would waive an examination. Mayor Harriss then placed Ashe under a justi fied bond of $350 to answer at the next term of the Superior Court for; New Hanover county. Ashe gave ex Judge D. L. Russell as his bondsman and was released. A. Costly Depot Building. The Atlanta Journal says the Seaboard Air Line will build a depot building there for its own uss and that of the Western and Atlantic, which, with the land, will cost nearly a million dollars. The Seaboard will build the depot and furnish all the money. This railroad company has a twenty-nine year lease on the right of way of the Western and Atlantic to its freight terminals and to the union depot station. The Seaboard builds the depot On consideration of the privileges granted to it by the Nashville, Chatta nooga and St. Louis, lessees of the Western and Atlantic, of using the; lat ter' tracks.

' This, humanly. sp:aklng, to say the least, was a terrible blow and a shocking -experience to our "little church bark, that struggled so long under such sting ing embarrassments to secure a house of worship; and, having succeeded almost miraculously in this, was making strenu ous c ff jrts to cancel her debts, and had just paid; c fit a two hundred dollar claim one week -before the fire, and was pushing to pay another in a few days. And now to have such ap parent adverse happenings at this par ticular time, has put us to no usual so licit ;d 3 aid consideration. But, even under this dark cloud, we can recognize the light from our Heavenly Fathers countenance, piercing through the dark ness, and are able to read in that light the irrevocable promise ot , irrevocable victory, which instead of being retarded, is, ucder an alUwise Providence accel erated. Hence, we renew our covenant with and reproclaim our faith in God; and our unchangeable theme and watch word is "Go forward." For, immedi ately after the fire, before the roof had cooUd and before the water had flown away, three hundred dollars (300) had been subscribed by the members to start the work of repairing Gjd's House.; And again, many of our friends and brethren who stood by us in the build ing of the church, both white and col ored, and of all denominations, have declared their inclination and desire to assist in building up the waste places in this House of God. ' Many thanks to the Chief and the various companies of the Fire Depart ment and other friends for their efficient atd faithful services" to save the church property. Ia return, we would gladly do all in our power to extinguish the fire of sin in their souls. The "work will start in a few davs. We, also, thank most heartily those merchants who so kindly gave us the material with which, to close, temporarily, the opening made by the fire and water, "lhe Lord of hosts 1s with us," and His people are for us. We earnestly ask the prayers and sympathy of all the people. "O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever." Amen.

The following changes in the "cyc ling" ru!es have been made by the Na tional Association of the League of American Wheelmen recently in session in Baltimore. f Class "B." rule has been abolished, and paid racing amateurs can no longer belong to the L. A. W. It is likely that some of the leading men will now join the professional ranks and race for cash. The delegates came to the assembly with the purpose of continuing Class B, so that this change is a big surprise. The Racing Board advised that Class A be abolished and a pure amateur class be substituted. This was done, and the amateur rule changed as follows: "An amateur is one who has not en gaged in nor assisted in nor taught cycling or any other recognized athletic exercise for money or other remunera tion, nor knowingly competed with or against a professional lor a prize of any description, or who after having forfeited the amateur status has had the same re stored by a unanimous vote of the National Assembly, L. A. VT." The prize value in the amateur class was reduced from $50 to $35. By a new rule adopted in relation to the distance racing men can travel, it was decided that an amateur may not compete in any race outside of his "own State at a distance greater than 100 miles by the usual line-or route of travel from his legal residence, except at national meets.
