' hh- lJK. Hf.vrv V SiTTvpirr Calvary Church, New York citv, was elected Episcopal Bishop of 'ucni by a practically unani- lnous vote. 1 excitement in Berlin over the question of succession to 'the Aus- tnan throne is increasing. The ques- tlon is whether the Saliquelaw,which prohibits females succeeding to the l"rone, still prevails in Austria. Ve have never had any kindly feel ing for Billy Mahonel until now. Ben Butler is championing him for a r t m . . aoinet position. J'oor Hill v, he has onr sympathy now. Til k Crown Prince of Austria was buried in the vaults of the Church of the Capuchins, in Vienna, mak ing the eightieth member of this royal lamily whose remains, placed in solid silver coffins. are in the vaults of this churtSh. i'HE yews (; 'Observer. speaking of the -Raleigh Graded Schools, says: "Without air additional appropria tion the schools when they close on the 2'Jth of March', will only run three months more between that date and September, 1890. We heard a North Carolina oraj tor once say this in an address to a female audience : "The consciouness of being well dressed affords to wo man that feeling of contentment and self - satisfaction which religion even is not capable of bestowing." j We do not see much in the North- i . .i f I t 1 . ern papers ..about the race dimculty which is threatened at Marion, Illi nois. Where is the JIall and Express man ? AVhy doesn't he have some thing to say about this outrage? It is all right as long as it is Yankees who are "killing: nig-grers.'

It is estimated that the water is flowing at the rate of 300 gallons a minute, and that r r t i r w t ifr ;i i it mi i. t r w m grees. This is the third deep well that has been bored in Charleston, and it is the largest of the three. It will cost the company about 840,000. This is the way Texas editors settle their little differences : "Schall took a Winchester and, meeting I -l .1 lli T ane Peneu . "f" answered with a revolver, ine shooters were behind doors and bar- rels and no one was hit. Schall's brother then tried to shoot Lane, but a bullet through his hat sent him away. Both editors were ar- rested." This occurred on the streets of Denison. DURHAM, N. CJ, SATURDAY TOWX TALK. A marriage in Durham at an early day. Guess who.

If you want to read the paper come up like a man and pay tor it. The Plant is Democratic and true to its colors, and it is not sur- prising that it now and then ruffles the feathers of its nolitical onno- nents. The Plant-was not born to tickle the Republican fancy1. Not by a jug lull. It didn't expect to please the Kads when it criticised a Democratic "Board of Commission- prs for annointinp- a Renublican on the police force. If there had been six Republicans and one Democrat on the ISoard, do you suppose a Democrat would have worn a po liceman's uniform during their ad ministration ?

Pickle Kod. , This week's issue of the: aleiirh signal contains a communication under the following sensational caption: "The Durham Expulsa- dors the Suffering - Innocent One the Slander on Jordan's Daughter the Outrage of . the Mayor and -f mi Commissioners on the Girl Dur ham's Patent Let None Infringe - - tJ It." The letter is dated from no where arid is signed ''Pickle Rod." He is pretty sour on the Mayor and Commissioners. Near the begin- ning of the letter, he says : "Now, I know nothing of Jordan and his daughter, did not know that such a man lived." People do not care to hear a man talk upon a subject ot which he is ignorant and all we have to say to "Pickle. Pod" is that inasmuch as he confesses that he knows nothinir of Jordan- he had better have kept his mouth shut. "Smart Aleck" would probably have been a more appropriate non-de- plume for him to have hid behind i i i in mamngi ins attack upon our town authorities. A Highly Creditable Krttertain- . ment. ' S ' . The musical and literary enter tainment given at the Y. M. C. A. assembly hall last night, compli mentary to the members and friends of the Association, was largely at tended and proved a highly credita ble and very enjoyable occasion. We congratulate .the participants and the Association upon the erand success of the entertainment and we also congratulate the community upon the possession of such talent as was manifested last night. We weigh our words well and do not overshoot the mark when we Bay that it was a really meritorious' en tertainment of which any city of far larger proportions than Durham might be justly proud. The programme opened with a chorus by the Glee Club, composed entirely of male voices', "Come in the Blush of the Morning," which was well rendered. The violin solo, by Dr. J. A. Smith, brought down the house and the audience refused to be quieted until the Doctor responded to the desire for more of the violinjs sweet strains. Mr. Albert Kramer's serio-comi reading produced laughter and ap plause. Mrs. Charles McGary favored the audience with the beautiful scprano solo, "Ruby." ' Miss Lida Carr recited "The Burn ing Ship" in a vepy creditable man ner, showing marked talent and skill- ml training. The vocal duet. "Oh, That we were Maying," by Mrs. T. D. Jones and Miss Lessie Southgate, was greatly enjoyed. "Mrs. Bean?s Courtship," a comic recitation, by Miss Nannie Bernard, provoked peals of laughter from ad mirers of the humorous. The baritone solo, "A Bandit's Life," was exceedingly well rendered by Mr. W. G. Iurkhead, who won rounds of applause that continued until the singer returned toacknowl- S5.00 PER ANNUM. edge the compliment by repeating the last verse. ' Miss LessieSouthgate, who always attains to excellence both in music and elocution, erave one of the tinpst recitations that it has ever been our pleasure to hear. It was truly urand and added another gem "to th's young lady's brilliant reputation. Aue appiause inat ioiiowed was ear nest and enthusiastic and Miss Les lie responded to the encore with a humorous selection, which was also rendered in admirable style and gave evidence of great versatility. Lapt. Leo. D. lleartt s tenor solo. "Loving Forever' was greatly en joyed. The difficult selection was very creditably executed and Capt. Heartt's fine voice scored another success. The recitation, by Mr. Walton M. Busbee, 4 'The Two G lasses, " convey ing a salutary lesson, was rendered in a very earnest and emphatic man ner. . . - . The entertainment closed with 'Blue Bells of Scotland," "by the Glee Club. After the exercises ' were over, qiiite a number of the audience availed themselves of the invitation to remain and spend a while in social 'onversc and in visiting the several departments- of the Association. The Ladies' Favorite. The newest fashion in . ladies' hats will lonhtless cause, a Hotter of pleasurable ex citement among the lair sex. Ladies are al ways susceptible to the changes of a fashion (date; and the more startling the departure, the more earnest the gossip over the. new mode. Dr. Pierce's Favorite-Prescription is a positive cure for the ill which afflict fe males and make their lives miserable. This sovereign panaceo can be relied on in casesof displacements and all functional derange ments. It builds up the poor, haggard and dragged-out victim, and gives her renewed hope and a fresh lease of life.
