Although the Senator and both Rep resentatives from Cumberland favor submitting the dispensary question to a vote of the people of that county, the proposition meets with no favor in the Legislature. This, it is admitted, is because the negroes can vote on the question. Bat when it is proposed to saddle a bonded debt of $50,000 (or nine-tenths of it) on the city of Wil mingtona debt totally unnecessary not a voice is raised against it in the Legislature, although the negroes here, will vote on the question just as they would vote on the dispensary in Cum-' berland. Apparently, anything af fecting the interests of New . Hanover county "goes" with the present Legis lature, whether the white folks want it or not. Freshet la the Cape Fear. As the result of heavy and long con tinued rains in the up-county there is a great freshet m the upper uape n ear river. At Fayetteville, yesterday at 8 A. M., the Weather Bureau observer reported the stage of water 50.8 feet and rising. The Observer of Tuesday last said: "From present indications it looks as if it might equal the great Populist freshet of January, '95, 58 feet, which broke all records, surpassing the Sherman freshet by 18 inches. Great banks of drift wood are piled against the Clarendon bridge and there are few for its safety; If it should go, the handsome iron bridge of the At lantic and Tadkin railroad would be surely swept away." v : To make room for Spring Goods The C.

Prof. Lee, the hypnotist, is attract ing very much attention in Wilming ton this- week. There was quite a large audience last night at the Opera House and every one seemed' to thoroughly enjoy the performance. Early in the evening, by consent of th majority of the audience, Prof. ; Lee - gave his famous ''Hindoo Sleep," during which he put those of the crowd, , who so de sjred, to sleep. There were probably a , dozen people in the audience who availed themselves of the opportunity and went to sleep, among them were several ladies. . " Another feature of the programme which was especially wonderful, was the "human wood-pile." Eight young men were put to sleep, made perfectly rigid, and piled into a heap across four chairs, and Prof. Lee climbed on top of the pile and stood for some time. There were many other features which were remarkable in the ex treme, but space wijl not admit of reference to them. " The hypnotic achievement which has created the most general comment is the blindfold drive, which oc curred, according to announcement, at noon yesterday from The Orton. The special committee to make the drive and hide the needle preparatory for the blindfold feature, as announced yesterday, consisted of ex-Mayor Jno. J. Fowler, Capt. Edgar L. Hart, Mr. Benjamin Bell, Mr. R. W. Vincent and Mr. Wm. J. Martin. They drove doWn. Front street to Market, , up to Fifth, across to Dock, thence to Sev enth, then to Castle, down to Third and up to Red Cross, stopping in front of Mr. H. M. Emerson's residence. Four of the committee then walked down to the A. C. L. depot and se creted the needle in the office of Mr. EL-H. Fechtig, returned to' the carriage and drove to the hotel over a different route. ' ;': Prof. Lee then .hypnotized and blindfolded one of his. assistants, put him in the carriage' with the committee, who were instructed to keep their minds on the route just travelled and on the place ; where the needle was hidden. Capt. Hart, who drove on the first trip, kept his hands on the hypnotized man's shoulders. He made the drive over exactly the same route, stopped in front of Mr. Emerson's residence, dismounted, and taking Mr. Fowler's, hand went as far as the bridge at the depot without a bother.. Here, in some way he became bothered, and asked that some other member- of the committee ' take Mr. owler's place. .William J. Martin was substituted and the subject very soon went across the bridge and located the needle. He then returned to the car riage and drove back to the hotel, fol lowing the route previously travelled by the committee.. s It is the unanimous; verdict of the committee that the feat was a clear case of mind-reading, and there was not the least appearance or chance for the practice of deception. An entirely new programme is an nounced for the performance to-night THE YACHT NARAD A. Mr. Walters' Handsome Pleasure Boat at ' Charleston, S. C., Yesterday. News and Courier, Feb. 8th. Mr.'H. Walters' handsome steam j&chtNarada did not sail southward yesterday, as was expected, but will wait for more propitious Weather.

The pai consists of Mr. Walters, Mr. and Mrs Pembroke Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Delano, Mr. George Grant and Mr. Harry Weeks. Mr. Walters and his guests arrived in Charleston yesterday from Wilmington on private cars and went on board the yacht Monday night Except for i the very threatening weather the voyaee would have been begun yesterday, and if the indications are more favorable the handsome craft may lift its anchor and be away to day. The cruise is expected to occupy three or four weeks, ana tne nrst point to be visited is Palm Beach, Florida. From there the Narada will head for Havana, and after a short stay at the Cuban capital the voyage will continue towards San Juan, I'orto Kico. Attempted Burglary.
