The Richmond. Dispatch's special says : r "Every sentence was full of humor; and iustas full of argument. lie made Mr. Kelley so nervous during its - delivery that he could not keep bis seat, and made the Democrats first applaud, and then made the hall ring with peals of laughter. Some Republicans finally called time on him, and,, to the regret of nearly everybody, he was unable : to complete "his rare speech. lie said 2,000,000 of ounces of quinine are used annually in'this country, and since it has been on the free list $1,500,000 has been saved to the people. He caused great mer riment when he declared that the Ways and Means would tax air and God's sunshine if only a Philadelphia firm would ask them to do it: This was intensified when he told Mr, Kelley that if he and his eollegues taxed quinine they would ; become the allies of death and the confederates of the devil." Joaquin (pronounced, we believe, H6-ak-in) Miller has been to hear Dr. Deems, and writes about him at some length. The following we clip from nis aructe: . "He is unique. . nis personality is very conspicuous, lie taKes neither from man nor book. . Yet 1 should ;say he is a hard student and a learned man. His New -Year's sermon preached on the text at the head of this sketch was - practical : fact and the soundest sense in the .world..- No stranger can afford to come to! New York without hearing this man. . No man can go to the Church of the Strangers and hear Dr. Deeais without coming away a braver aud better man. The Colonels and5 jthe Majors are so nu merous in bt. Liouis that it is consiuered high distinction to be called plain "Mr." In Memphis we arc all Colonels with . the exception of four Majors, one Captain and about fourscore Judges. "Mr." is obsolete. A-Mempliis Avalanche. ; ;;r; Memphis is only a sample of the whole country. Not one -Mister has been seen at Raleigh this winter. They are all Tarboro House "Kur- riells"i or Generals, except the mem bers of the Legislature, and they are all "Honorables," including some nineteen darkies. Bishop NorCliop and the Vacant See of. Charleston. . . : , It seems that the telegraphic announce ment of the appointment of Bishop Nor throp, of this State, to the vacant . See of Charleston, to succeed! Bishop Lynch,, was in all probability correct after all. There is of course no absolute certainty about the matter in the absence of any knowledge of the receipt of the usual official notification, but we learn from the Charleston Hews and Courier that there is every ; ; reason ' to believe that 4 the appointment has been made, in tact our uamonc mends have at last reluctantly been' compelled ' to accept the statement as genuine,' though it I has' taken v', both I the clergy. . " and laity with surprise, especially as ! it is said that the name of Bishop Northrop was not among the three sent to Rome with a re commendation for transfer.' We ; under1 stand that even Archbishop Gibbons at first looked upon the announcement as a canard, .as did Rev. Father Gross, of this place. Bishop Northrop must i have received the notification of his appointment at Savannah when en route for, the Bahama: Islands. .... " i i where he is at present sojourning for a brief' season in affection which consequence of a lung has : been causing him some trouble. Catholics here, as well as elsewhere in the State, where the reported transfer has become to be accepted as most likely true, are expressing very great regret at the probable' loss of i Bishop! Northrop, " ' ' ' T 1 -.J-j.t. 1 . . . wno uatt uecome very popular wicu. ma peo- pie.-, It really seems that ; an appointment to the Yicar Apostolic of North! Carolina is a certain step in the line" of promotion. - We suppose there can be but little doubt of the acceptance bv the Bishop of the new favor conferred upon him. j, Foreign Exports. , -! . .. j r .. -.. r ... -' The following comprised " the foreign shipments yesterday: "The German barque Lydia Pescliau, Capt. Bremers, for Fal mouth for orders, by Messrs. E. Peschau & Westermann, with 1,393 bales of cotton, weighing 661,502 pounds, and valued at $62,668 06; 'and the British schr. " Mabel Darlina.

The Small-Pox In Trenton, f A private letter from Mr. B. B. Windley, of Trenton, Jones county, to his brother in this city, states that there have been five cases - of small-pox there altogether, of which two of the victims, have died, one .has entirely recovered, and two are still sick, one of whom is reported to beimprov ins. One new case was reported; though not certain, on the 30th ult., " the day the letter was maued. ' ' . : 1 . .WILMINGTON, N. C.? FRiBAYy FEBRUARY 9, 1883. A Young Adventurer Suddenly Halted ! -In Bis Travels. :.f ,.. r v .A youthful adventurer in the person of a boy from Washington City arrived here on the 10.55 train Wednesday night and was taken into the custody of a police officer, who had been 'quietly waiting at the depot for him to put in an appearance.' " It seems that Chief of Police Brock had received a telegram from the father of the youth, who is about 12 ' or 13 years of agei , requesting him to look out for him, and detain; him if he arrived here. : The Chief took him in charge, gave him his Bupper at a restaurant and provided comfortable lodging accom modations for him. : His story is to the ef fect that he was employed at the Capitol in the capacity of a page, and that he con ceived the idea of taking a trip of a couple of months down to Florida, that paradise; of Northern pleasure seekers: v With, him to yesolve was to execute, as it proved, and on Wednesday morning, armed with a rifle for porting purposes and a through ticket, he poarded a train for the South without con sulting pater famUias as to the step he was about to take. He says he expected to get him a tent and camp out and have a good lime hunting game, etc. ; ' He is an intelli-. gent, sprightly youth, evidently full of life; and love' of adventure. The Chief took him with him around the city yesterday; and he; seemed to be very favorably im pressed with Wilmington. Among: other places of interest he visited weie the cotton presses, which he seemed to regard with particular satisfaction and wonder ' He' says that he is not how . sorry , that he' was. stopped at this point,' but 'Would like to remain in Wilmington a week or two before being carried back : home. He states that a policeman boarded the train at Richmond, and he was certain that he was after him, but it proved that his fears were groundless. While the officer was in the car he says he kept a book before . his face as if profoundly interested in its contents. He seemed to be very much at home withl the policemen,, and said he . would be de lighted to stay here a week or two. enjoys himself as best he might and bunk at night on a bench in the City Halt, He is said to be the son of a lawyer in Washington, and; a cousin of the young adventurer was ex pected to arrive last night for the purpose of taking' hini home." He emphatically de nies that he has ever read a dime novel. - v . - : The Southern Ore Company Again. Mr. . I. Beno. one of the directors of the Southern Ore Company, recently estab lished in this city and t hartered by the Le gislature, expected to leave for Charlotte last evening, on his way to New York, to attend a meeting of the directors, who will elect a President of the new company. This honor will '. probably fall upon Mr. Beno, who, as the prime mover in the en terprise land its assiduous promoter from its inception, is iustlv entitled to the dis tinction, to say nothing of Caving a man of his experience at the head di affairs. While in Charlotte Mr. Beno wilHTsign contracts with two mining companies for the deliv ery at the works here of (jl'ghty tons of - ore per day,' all of which wilW come : down on the Carolina Central railroad and will fornv auite an item of freight oa that road: ' The three resident Directors of the Company- Messrs. J. Beno, U S. Latimer and George R. French,? Jr., will constitute a local board and are all men of push and energy. We predict for the Southern Ore Company a prosperous career. Foreign Shipments. The foreign shipments from this port vesterdav were as follows: "The Norwegian barque Hans, Capt. Ericksen, for Gibraltar, for order3 to Trieste, Austria, by Messrs. Ales; Sprunt & Son, with 3,653 barrels of rosin, valued at $7,000; the. - Norwegian barque Tstava,' Capt Sorensen, for Liver pool,1 by Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, with 2,370 bales of cotton, weighing 1,110,883 rounds, and valued at $110,000; and the German baroue lidmitz, capt. jretwursr, for London, by Messrs. ifaterson.

The funeral of Mr. Benjamin L.- Clark, who dietl ou Wednesday evening last, from wounds received in the battle of Cedar Kun in 18G2. took place from the Second -Pres-, by terian Church yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, whence his remains were ' taken to Oakdale Cemetery for interment Thus has another brave soldier sealed his devotion to the "Lost Cause". with his life - Deceased was a great sufferer, but it is a consolation that he was the object of the loving care and! attention or his former comrades, among them the physician who attended him, who did all they could to smooth- his passage 10 ine ureal reyona. jf eacc De to his ashes!
