On yesterday, the load of stone was
dumped into the narrow gap left in tbe
New Inlet embankment and people
walked on dry laud to Zeke's Island.
It will he some months before the em
bankment will be entirely finished aud
rounded off. But of course all the

jchanuel.
THKMTIJATION.
I As'.we write, which is on Saturday, it
seems as if all the appropriation bills
would pass both Houses, and probably
be approved by the President in their,
modified form. Of course in arriving
at this result the Democrats have to1 ally
abandoned the purposes .with which
they commenced this wrangle, stopped
a great deal of , their arrogance and
braggadocio, and toned down the"phrase-
ology of their uftensivc legislation.
But th?y will claim that tjliey have not
"backed down" but ..that, the -President
and the Republicans have. That the
most judicious of the Democrats think
that they have made a bad job of it, is
without doubt true.
When tiie bill came up in the House
it appeared that enough had been added
so that it amouuted "to $20,000,000.
Strangely 'enough the 9th section was
stricken out on the motion of- CJer. Jos
E. Johnston, whose- old West Point
spirit revolted al this injusLicle i si tto
ping the promotion f ihe"oUicers above
the' rank of Captain. The sixth section',
(Jtn. Gailleld characterized ys only "a
Jump speech"; ami did not aflVeC much
of anything. '.
1 When this bill arrived in the Senate
it was furiously attacked by .Senators
Windomi Conkling, Allison and IUuine,
the latter stigmatising it as absolutely
disgraceful and saying that it ought to
be kicked under the tabje.. It however
passed by a party vote.

Regular quarterly meeting and elec
tion of officers of Carolina Lodge 431
K. of H. to-morrow evening.
Route Agents. The Ppstoffice De
partment has just appointed another
Democrat as rute agent on the Wil
mington & Charleston line. We would
recommend that the Post Office Depart
ment turn all : good ! Republicans
out of office, and appoiat red-mouthed
Democrats in their places, both, in
Washington and the south. For it ap
pears that a Democrat' stands a better
chance in Washington than a Republi
can If. the Postoffice .Department
wants Democrats instead of Republi
cans, then they should take them i en
tirely and not impose them upon the
south alone,. Has 'that Department a
contract to disband the Republican
partv of .the south ? If o 'what will ' it
receive in consideration T The ; way
appointments are maide is a disgrace to
the administration.1 ! ' i '' -:
Of the route agents running out of
Wilmington, one half are Democrats..
And yet the chief officials in the Post
office Department pretend to be - Rea
publicans, and we cannot believe that'
the Post Master General knows; any
thing about this matter from 'the fact
that he has said to ' the editor ' of the
Post that he desired to appoint Re
publicans wherever good reliable .mem
bers of that party could be found who
wanted the positions. ' 5 ' '
Now it is well known that there are
thousands of Republicans who. desire.
those places who are in every way supe
rior to the Democrats appointed." There
fore we take it for granted that Judge
Key knows nothing of these Democrats
appointed. We would be very glad if
Mr. Thompson; the Superintendent of
the Railway Mail Service will, inform
us and our readers why ho appoints
Democrats instead of Republicans when
there ars- so many good Republicans
who want.' the' places? Our columns'
ore open to him tor an explanation why
it is he allows it. '
St. Ivaul and Butter Funnily Mixed.
Mauy years. since there lived irt Vir
ginia a Baptist preacher: named B"
Though uneducated he r. was a sound
thinker and an eloquent speaker, and
no minister had a more devoted ilock.
It was the custom during the inclement
seasons to hold the "meetings at the
preachers house. For years it was ob
served that B -neither preached ,nor
conducted the meeting 'when held at
his house, but secured the services of
some neighboring minister. -lie
was often pressed for an explana
tion without success; but fiually, in rc-v
spouse lo the importunities ot Ins Hock,
gave the following: 'When I was much
younger thau now-rin fact, not tJ6ng
after the commencement of my admin
istrations I held a mettiug at my
housed It being customary for many
of the congregation to remain To?-din
ner, Mrs. B. sent our negro boy, Tim,"
to neighbor , Paul's for s some butter.
Tim returned and located himself,
standing on one foot at a time on the
outskirts of the congregation.
Being wrell warmed in my sermon.
thinking neither of Tim nor his errand:
but pniy of the most successful mode
of impressing upon my hearers one of
my strongest arguments, I demanded,
with ai i the energy in mv power 5 Sand
what did Paul say ?' ' ' 1
lim. at thQ ton of his squeakins voice.
exclaimed, as Tim only could have
done: . ' - . . ,
"He thed vou couldn't git anv more
butter till you paid for what you got "
1 his brought dowri the house and
cut short one of the finest efforts of my
early ministry. Sincehen I have kept
my preaching dhcoanected from my
domestic afiairs ... . .
Wheu the afectionate,'self-sacrificiug
young wife, awakes to the conviction
that the man who was her slave before
marriage is quite inclined to be her
master now, she is dismayed and disap
pointed. In the old courtship day he
used to say that he was going to marry
he? to get her out of this or that condi
tion, away from these or those people,
to give her the pleasure she sought to
have --in short, to make her happy; in
these latter days, if h$'' thinks of it at
all, he wutd, :co ;pfelled to frankness,
say that he did marry in order to make
himselt happy. Jbor that is exactly
what it amounts to in this sort of mar
riage, v It is,' mare frequently than other
wise, the wife who' neglects none of the
little things, it is the husbanu who for
gets them every .oner J$ "is. the wife
who tries to nvike home what it should
he, aim Uersclt as lovely an obiect as
may 'be, in lier iprd'ii eyes;; who has the
easy chair ready by tae lire, the Blip
pew waiting, the pipes filled, the paper
aired, the appetizing dish prepared; and
it is oiten by. this very course of hers
that his neglect has come about. She
has pampered him till he forgets to
pamper her in turn. On the other
hand, there are sqrno wjve who never
thick oi the apetizins dish, or the arm
chair, or the pipe, and who look out for
their own case so strenuously that there
is no need of anvone else to! look out
for it; who demand and t therefore re
ceive, and who seem to bV entirely 'saf
isfied with that sta.te.6f things more,
who satisfy their, husbahds, as well.
What is the moral to be gained from
this fact? That Wives should be selfish
and exacting if they desire to retain the
respect and love of their husbauds?
