has been misinformed in

the character of some

well known to many. That the Ad

rate they . are being : turned out it
would take eight or ten years to clear
the decks. . We' do not know that it
is possible to do the work faster, but
we do know . what was said in the
, last campaign and what Southern
Democrats expect and have a perfect
right to-expect. . If the Administra
tion does the best it can in driving
from office . Republican officials then
no complaint can be made in justice.
But the South has borne much and
t borne it for a long, long time. It is
"mighty ' sickM of Radicalism. 1 It

RALEIGH . , ;
We mentioned yesterday, that Ra
leigh was progressive in many things.
We take a special interest- in that
f overgrown village," as an English
man called it, because it is the capi
tal of our State; because of its intel
ligence and influence jbecauW of its
energy and enterprise; because of its
beauty and attractiveness and, , what J
is of most importance to the writer
because it is his natal spot. ' Raleigh
has taken a great stride since the war,
and we hope it will become a larget
and s'plendid city. - j , - s .
- : But our purpose was not to-' praise
Raleigh, but to refer to another evi
dence of its enterprise. Having last
year organized and carried out ta I
such a successful issue the State Ex
position, - thereby increasing - its
claims npoh-North Carolinians 1 as'
well as exhibiting its plnck and pro-
gressireness. .it has thus early in
the-year unde'riaken"! Another work.
On Wednesday - a" f show of fine
breeds of cattle for . Wake and
surrounding Section was begun. There
are many men in that section who
have been for years improving their
stock, and to-day the cattle on many
farms is of superior breed. : The im
proved breeds of, cattle are on exhi
bition, and ,we shall be pleased to
learn that the Raleigh show is a pro
nounced success, i " r -
The example set by the farmers of
that fine section should be followed
by the farmers of the Cape Fear and
the Albemarle and the Roanoke and
the Piedmont and other sections of
North Carolina.' Such cattle shows
cannot fail to stimulate-activity and
rivalry among farmers that shall re
sult in improved breeds and the get

A BOLD FBOFOgmON.
Paul Boyton's feat was after all of
more importance than was supposed.
He demonstrated what could be done
with his rubber dress and swimming
apparatus. Some years ago, he . was
laughed at by the British Admiralty
when he showed it and setup certain
claims in its behalf. He took re
venge in ine narbor or .New xork a
few days since by "fastening a torpe
do (dummy) right under the mid
ship of the - British ship ; Garnet.
This greatly frightened those . on
board and well it might, for it show
ed how very unsafe a British ship
was even in friendly waters.' The
British Admiralty "are convinced by
this time that Boyton's dress is all he
claims for it. He has issued a chal
lenge to the officers of the Garnet.
Hp offers to undertake to fasten an
other dummy right under the ship
and they may shoot him if they can.
He proposes to take all risks.
The dress of ; Boy ton . may yet
play a conspicuous part in naval
defence. It would be a danger
ous undertaking for vessels to come
up .now into rivers and harbors and
undertake to blockade.. Perhaps the
time will come when the the torpedo
system, aided by swimmers like Boy-
ton, will be so perfected that it will
be wholly impossible to attack forti
fied seaports without inevitable de
struction. 1

Death of Kn, iailr of Fayet tevllle,
The Fajetteville (N. C.) Sun reports the
death on Saturday last of Mrs. Hannah P.
Lilly, wife of E. J. Lilly, Esq. '1 The Bun
says: "She was. a native of Richmond
county, in this State, and, the daughter of
the late Win. P. Leak, Esq. With the ex
ception of her brother, Mr. Jas. A. Leak,
of Wadesboro, she was the last surviving
member of $ large; and influential family,
She was married in 1840, and has raised a
family of devoted sons and daughters,
ller health failed about two years ago. She
was always remarkable for sweetness and
gentleness of disposition, but throughout
her long and painful illness these charac
teristics seem to : have intensified.: Her
character grew more lovely and perfect un
der suffenne. Seldom has a death, oc
curred in our community which has caused
such widespread sorrow or called forth so
many expressions of regret and sympathy.
' Mrs. Lilly was the mother of ; Mrs. Pres
ton Cummlng and Mr. E. J. Lilly, Jr., of
this city.

of seeing to the lighting of the street lamps,
and the only occupants of theliottse at the
time were his twotf daughters, Delia and
Catharine, the former about sixteen years i
of age and the latter about eleven. . The
youngest sister was engaged at some work
at a table in the kitchen, upon which was
sitting a kerosene lamp, and the older sister
was not far from her. All of a sudden thq

communicating to her clothing, which was
quickly in a light blaze. The older sister
rushed to the rescue, but was so overcome
with horror and fright that she could render
but little assistance The screams of the
girls, however, quickly brought some of
the neighbors to their . aid, , and through
their exertions the life of the poor girl was
saved. The most active among the rescuers
were Henry Berry and David Williams,
colored people living in the vicinity, who
showed great presence of mind under the
circumstances, smothering the fire with ap
propriate material and even taking measures
to prevent the unfortunate girl from inhal
ing the fire; one of the first acts of .Wil
liams being to place ' his hand over her
mouth.
Catharine was burned very badly' from
the waist upwards" especially about . the
breast, face and arms, and it is feared that
sBe inhaled some of the fire. Surgical as
sistance was immediately - summoned and(
at last accounts she was resting as easy as
could be expected. ' Miss Delia also bad
her hands and arms burned pretty badly
in Irvine to save her sister. The bouse

- cape from Baralax 10 Death.
Yesterday morning, about . a . quarter to
12 o'clock, Mias Katie Johnson, aged about
fifteen, eldest daughter, of Mr. W. T.
Johnson residing on Princess between
Fourth and Fifth streets, was. in the act of
pouring kerosene oil from a can into the
stove, when the fire in the stove communi
cated to the oil in the can and the latter ex
ploded in Miss Katie's hand, throwing the
burning oil over her and setting her cloth
ing on fire. Her step mother heard the ex
plosion and realized in a moment what was
the matter. She called to some one to
bring her something with which to smother
the fire, and did all she could to effect her
purpose, but in .. her - excitement Miss
Katie hindered her in her efforts. Mias
Katie finally made her way to the front
door, her garments all in a blaze, when R.
L. Hutchings, a colored painter, who hap
pened to be passing, caught sight of the
startling spectacle, bravely rushed to the
side of the unfortunate young lady. Jerked
his coat from his back and quickly wrapped
it around her.7 smothering the fire and
saving her life, as in another minute her
injuries would have been fatal. . As it is
her right hand and arm are burned quite
severely, bu( otherwise she is not much
hurt, although she was the victim of severe
nervous prostration ' for some hours after
warda. Fortunately, she had a worsted
dress on, which was in her favor.
.Mr. Johnson, who was down the street,
heard the news in an exaggerated form and
hastened home in great alarm. -
Great credit is due to Hutchings for- his
prompt aid.. One of his hands was pretty
badly burned, and his coat was damaged
considerably, though it happened to be one
in which he does his painting.
The Seaele State Toar.
The Seasides leave Monday, the 18th, for
their first trip through the Bute, playing
Goldsboro, Raleigh,; Durham, Oxford, and
probably Henderson, before their return.
The playing talent consists of Koockogey,
Kurtz, Carmichael, Moore, JEmpie, Har-
riss, Boatwright, Waddell and Rosenthal
Their regular 1st baseman, Mr. Beery, will
not accompany them on this round, as
business duties prevent . his absence, though
he may play the two games at Raleigh on
the 20th and 21st Mr. W. B. Davis acts
as manager, and Mr. E. . H. Freeman as
scorer." Our boys have before I hem a hard
tnp and many stubborn contests. Every
thing that can be done to advance the in
terests of the players and the Club will be
done. Contracts prohibiting liquors and
snecifving time for retiring have been
signed by aft who will go on the trip.
They desire - to win their games by
square, hard playing, and want no favorit
ism of umpires. : They are not prof essiona
'kickers," and will not tolerate that disre
putable practice on the field, pfines will be
imposed on any one disputing or purposely
worrying an umpire, and they want the
support of the whole Asssociation in this
matter. Let the umpire's decision be final,
for in that way alone can things work har
moniously,
The Club is composed of gentlemen, and
the citizens of the towns which they visit
have nothing to fear from their behavior
either on or off the field.
The Club is not so strong a one as the
manager would desire, but, taken altogeth
er, the nine is not a weak one; and Durham
will have to handle the spherical globe and
seasoned ash in a skilful manner to . shut
them out two days in succession. We wish
them a successful trip and a pleasant time.
Let the reports be encouraging, boys, - for
the "eyes of Wilmington are upon you.

The Augusta Chronicle, of Tuesday, al

has this to say of the pastor of the First
Baptist church in this city: f '
"Dr. Thomas H. Pritchard, of Wilming

Second. Presbvterian church. Sunday morn
ing, a rare treat in the shape of a discourse
upon 'the sins of the tongue.' Dr. Pritch
ard said that when the system is out of

The Board of County Commissioners bid
a meeting yesterday afternoon, at half-past
2 o'clock, for the purpose of receiving bids
for the proposed iron bridge over Smith's

A Charch la Pender County Bobbed
of an- Organ.
On Wednesday or Thursday night of
last week, as we learn from a letter from
Mr. J. R. Bannerman, of Bannerman's,
Pender county, some thief drove up to Mt
Williams' Church and stole the organ,
which was spirited away and no trace can
be discovered of it, or clue to lead to the
detection of the perpetrator. The party
effected an entrance by driving up to a
window at the rear of the church,' hoisting
the same from the wagon, and going in and
unbolting1 the door, through which ' the
organ and stool were removed.
The theft was not discovered until Sun
day morning, when the teachers and pupils
assembled for Sunday School, and then, on
account of the rains that had fallen in the
meantime, it was impossible to track the
wagon from the church.- The whole of
that section has-been scoured for some
J race of the stolen instrument, but without
gaining the slightest clue. :
Stealing an organ out of a church is
'something new under the sun." We
should not be surprised to hear next that
the church itself had been spirited away.
There is evidently somebody in Pender
particularly fond of music, or else he has
scruples against "machine music" in a
church
The cburth, Mr. Banneiman sajs, will
give a liberal reward for the recovery of
the organ. j - -
Since the above was written we learn
that on the Monday following the theft of
the organ the thief actually returned to the
church for the key of the instrument ; A
colored girl saw a white man looking for
something about the building, and finally
he told her that he was looking for a key
which he pretended he had lost He failed
to, find the key, as it was in a place of con
cealment inside tbe church.

nor Webber reason for suspicion, and CoL
Friedley dismissed him, telling him to be
at the Court room to testify against w right.
As Chambers left the room Webber, who
was greatly agitated, pulled CoL Friedley's
arm and exclaimed, "for God s sake don t let
that man go; that's the man who shot me
and Da vies." A warrant was then made
out for Chambers' arrest, and when he was
found at the court bouse he was thunder
struck at the turn affairs had ; taken. - He

its most sanguine : promoters- could have
wished. 1 It was an absolute success and .
personally gratified every resident of Ral

thing, and that is that no place the size of
Kaleign in this country can show so many
thoroughbred cattle. " It proved another,
which is that all Raleigh people need to do
is to pull together and success is sure to
