Forty-five years' ago Sqmre Turn
er, of McLean county, Illinois,
loved Amanda Gijlespie, . but they
had 'a little spat an the Squire
packed his duJs and went West. He
went to Kansas and grew up with
the country. But he thought over
that spat .for forty-five years and
finally concluded tbt he was a fool
for letting a little thing like that drive
him away from Amanda. He there
fore wrote to his old girl to forgive
him and come to him, and Amanda,
who in the meantime had reached the
age of 63 and grown sensible, did
both. They are now a happy couple
of 74 and 63.
; One of the leading business men of
Sampson county, and a large manu
facturer, in renewing his subscription
to the dally Star, writes thus:
"Your position on the financial ques
tion is wise, broad and true; a sound
Democratic one.. It seems remark
able to me that all Democratic
papers can't advocate what the party
contended for in the 1892 platform.
I am convinced that permanent rest
and prosperity can never come to
this country, nor to any gold stand
ard country, till the stricken metal'is
restored to its natural and legitimate
place." y'
If Benjamin refuses to "take up
the yoke" there will be at least one
disconsolate denizen of Hoosier
dom, a Mr. Shiel, rho fears this
country will have a sheol of a time
if Benj. declirfes to bear the bur
den. Mr. Shiel rises to exclaim:
"While I know it will be a great
hardship to him, I believe he owes it
to the party and to the country to
take up the yoke, though it be a
a great burden." Now if the newly
wed statesman can resist sucn a
plaintive appeal as this he must be
built of stuff tougher than sole
leather. .
Holmes', lawyer, who is trying to
save his client's neck, has discovered
that he is afflicted with a peculiar
malady, which amounts to insanity,
namely, a "wild desire to lie and
make himself ridiculous." With his
known crimes a man like that ought
to be hanged on general principles.
The rural denizens of Florida are
too busily engaged in growing fruit,
garden sass, &c, to pay much atten
tion to poulfry, and consequently the
people of that State who are fond of
chicken, eggs, &c, have to send from
home to get 'em.. There's nothing
in that to crow over.

WILMINGTON MINSTREL TROUPE,
The Entertainment Oiven at Bontbport
A Highly Succaaaiul and Creditable
Affair. J
The Wilmington Minstrel Troupe,
under the : management of Mr. J. G.
Marshall, received a grand reception at
Soutbport. : The pavilion in which they
performed was decorated and elabor
ately furnished by the Southport young
ladies under , the direction of Senior
Warden John B. Haight and Mrs. M. V.
Webb, of St. Phillip's Episcopal church,
for the benefit of which the performance
was given. The moonlight excursion
down the river on the steamer Wilming
ton, under, the auspices of the troupe,
was largely attended, and was much
enj oyed by the ladies and gentlemen on
board. Music was furnished on the
boat by the Carolina Mandolin Club.
At 8 80 o'clock the troupe, which is
composed of the best talent which Wil
mington affords, opened the peiform
ance with Messrs. E. P. Boatwright as
mus'cal director, and Ed. Munson as ac
companist. The first part, with Messts
H. K. Holden, Wm. Rehder, C. H.
Cooper, James D. Smith, Fred Heines,
C. J. Bagz, soloists, interspersed with
new and funny jokes by the enJ men.
Messrs. James H. Cowan, Henry New
man, Geo. l. Hewlett ana Jonnson ura
ham, was encored throughout. Mr.' J.
G. Marshall acted as interlccutor, with
Henry Howard, Geo. Delano, B. W.
Marshall, Wm. P. Croom. Wiley T.
Johnson, ccmpleting the fiist burlesque,
"The Colonial Congress."
The pavilion was crowded with spec
tator and from the time the cartain
rose until the end of the performance,
encores were often snl applause con
tinuous. The quartette singing by
Messrs. Holden, Cooper, Smith and
Rehder was exceptionally fine.
The specialty, consisting of sing
ing, clog and jig-dancing by Mr.
Wiley T. Johnson merited much ap
plause. Mr. Henry'Newman in his spe
cialty "Five Minutes With Our Own
Comedian," brought down the house,
and be was the recipient of a "net
house." "The Black Millionaires," in
their buck and statue dancing, imper
sonated by Messrs. Cowan, Graham and
Howard, showed much skill and received
much applause. The "Apodal Wonders,"
by Prof. Delano, assisted by Messrs.
Marshall and Croom, was the crowning
event of the evening, their wonderful
acrobatic mac ceuvers surprising the en
tire audience. , The tenor solo by Mr.
)as. D. Smith was highly complimented
and encored.. ' Parson Jones and Par
son Johnson," by Messrs. Henry How
ard and J. G. Marshall was rendered in
their usual negro impersonation. "The
Judge and Senator," by Messrs. Cowan
and Graham, which was of their
own creation, wai very laugh
able and kept the audience in an
uproar from the beginning to the end,
closing with some excellent renditions
ol popular airs by the Carolina Mando
lin Club, composed of the following
members: J. S. Williams (leader), Stuart
Heinsberger, Ed. Heinsberger, E. C.
Warren, Richard Piatt, C V. Motte,
Ed. Neilson. The inimitable ante-bel
lum darkey impersonator Mr. Geo. T.
Hewlett, with his funny, make-up, re
ceived great applause and won the ad
miration of the audience, In this spe
cial act he is a genius. Mr. Holden's.
solo "The Mighty Deep" received con
tinuous encore, and in response he sang
bis favorite sone, "Six Feet of Earth
Makes Us All of One Size." '
The show closed : with the beautiful
musical sketch, "The Darkey s Dream
or Slavery Days on the Old Plantation,'
bv theentire company, . which was
filled with amusing incidents, dancing,
and closed with an old-time Virginia
reel, Mr. Hewlett taking the part of the
Old Man and Mr. Wm. P. Croom the
Old Woman.
Mr. W. W. Vick shuffled the "paste
boards," and Mr. J. Darlington was at
the door. ,
The boys are highly elated over the
success of the trip financially and socially,
and the large crowd which went with
thehi from Wilmington was well pleased
with the pleasant moonlight ride on the
Cape Fear and the time spent at South-
port. The troupe has been organized
for three years and has given four per
formances in different towns and hopes
to make a tour through the State this
Summer. The executive staff are as fol
lows: J. G. Marshall, manager; Henry
Newman, stage manager; E. P. Boat
wright, musical director; J, W. Graham,
treasurer.
A Congressman's joke.
The following will remind some read
ers of the Star of the story told by a
well known citizen of Wilmington as to
the pronunciation of the word "Bac-
itache":
The other day Congressman Stone, of
Pennsylvania, who is one of the practi
cal jokers of the House, approached Mr.
Mananv, ot Mew YorK, wno is an au
thority on Celtic orthography and or
thoepy.
"Mahany, said atone, "now would
you pronounce this word." and he spell
ed it out very carefully "M-a-c-H-i-n-
e-r-y ?
'That's easy," said Mahany: "thats
the name of an old Irish dcok Mac-
Hinery, a little bit of Danish mixed with
Milesian.
"You're mistaken," said Stone, "that's
pure English machinery.
Mahany collapsed, "uon t tea any
body," he implored. ' If that got out
among the Irish of my district it would
ruin me.'

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
Editor Star I called In at the City
Hall one evening this week, when a com
mittee was to meet that had been ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions to a fair
association.
Some gentlemen were discussing the
subject and one of them made remarks
something like this: "It is an uphill busi
ness to get up any enterprise in this city.
We have a few, and only a few, enter
prising people in Wilmington. Some of
those who are the most zealous to build
up the city are the least able, and many
who are amply able, and who would
realize the greatest benefit from im
provement, are the least inclined to in
vest their money."
'For instance,' he said, "there are
these who own real estate stores and
dwelling houses lor rent, who take no
interest at all in trying to establish any
new enterprise.
"This geatleman spoke of Charlotte,
Newbern, Raleigb, Durham, Wilson,
&c, in this State and many places in
other States, whose natural advantages
were far inferior to Wilmington's that
were outstripping her. They had enter
prising property owners, as well as mer
chants and other business, men. He said
"the climate of Wilmington, both in
Winter and Summer, is the finest in the
United States.XThat if we bad Fair
grounds, a race course and a tract for bi
cycle practice within or near the city lim
us, we should have a number of trainers
here both Winter and Summer. And
this alone would be a large advertise
ment for us all over the world. This
would bring a large number of people
here on both business and pleasure,
which would result in a greater demand
for stores, dwelling houses, hotels,
boarding . houses, saloons, barber shops
and every other kind of business. There
would be a greater demand for all kinds
of labor as well as all kinds of goods and
transportation.
it all this be true, it seems to me that
it's time for our people to awake from
their lethargy acd arise in all their
might with open hands and open purses
and receive the showers of blessings that
are hovering over us. -
There is to be another meeting of the
citizens at the City Hall this evening at
8.30. I wonder if any one who has the
welfare of our city, or their own welfare
at heart, willnot attend this meeting?
