It seems that nothing is more fickle than the ap pointments for the Scotland Neck post- office. First Collin Anthony was ap pointed and his appointment was recall ed, and Tom Shields was appointed. Since Major Spier Whitaker spent sever al days on a visit here last week there is a general rumor that he may be the post master for this place. It seems that Tom Shields appointment by the President has never been confirmed by the Senate and his commission is now to be recalled and Major Whitaker appointed in his stead. There is still another surmise that per haps the major will be given Bernard's place as district attorney. Some think that perhaps the authorities at Washing ton were not pleased with Bernard's failure to make prosecutions at Wilming ton over the election troubles, and that he may be displaced by Whitaker. Mr. Drew Broswell, a well-to-do and highly-hespected farmer, died at his home four miles from town yesterday. He was stricken with paralysis about three weeks ago. He waa one of the best and truest Democrats in the State. FINNIGAN'S BALL TONIGHT. The Wilmington Star says of Murray and Macks performance in that city Fn day night: A large audience witnessed the presen tation of "Finnigan's Ball," by the fa mous Irish comedians, Murray and Mack, at the Opera House last night, and every one pronounced the "Ball" a thorough success as a mirty-provoking farce com edy. Throughout the performance during the "quiet morning on Finnigan's bunle- vard," "at W. A. L. and K. depot," and "at Finnigan's Ball," the three acts of the comedy there was a constant suc cession of funny situation, brightened by an easy flow of Irish wit. There were also a number of interesting specialties which were well received. Murray and Mack s Finnigan s Ball made a pleas ing impression in Wilmington and will be well patronized should they play return engagement. COMIC OPERA THE MAN. HIGHWAY- The Broadway Theatre Opera Compa ny, headed by Miss Camile DArville in "The Highwayman," DeKoven and Smith's latest and most successful comic opera to be heard at the Academy of Music Tuesday night, takes the part of an adventuresome young lady of quality, who for the sake of the hero, dons the garb of a freebooter and holds up a real stage coach in order to recover him his pardon which has been withheld by an enemy. The part is especially fitted to Miss D'Arville's natural attainments of voice and figure and she assumes the braggadocio of a daring young blade, it is said, In a manner thoroughly convinc ing. From all accounts Miss D'Arville excels in parts where she has to reverse her sex and makes a better figure than one usually sees when a prima donna assumes such a role. It is said that in the scene where she stops the stage coach, one almost forgets that it is only a woman with a brace o fempty pistols, so strongly dramatic and earnest does she play the part.

Mr. Editor: As there seems to be a general sentiment that our next Chief of Police shall come from the ranks of the representative mechanics, and a worthy, competent, and efficient man in every way, I desire to mention the name of Mr. T. O. Faucette. This will reconsile the inclination on the part of some to demand a recognition of the force or rather, that the chief shall come up from the ranks. Mr. Faucette has been a Doliceman. and given entire satisfaction and he will fill the higher position with much ability and grace, and satisfy or ganized labor, and the mechanics of the city generally. I have nothing against any of the gentlemen mentioned for this position, but am confident Mr. Faucette will give universal satisfaction. The three elements of farce, specialty comedy and spectacular show are com bined in the latest and moat successful comedy skit, "Finnigan's Ball" which is being presented by the famous, original Irish comedians Murray and Mack ana an extraordinary strong cast of farce comedy players. This attraction will be seen tonight at the Academy, iio ana have a good laugh. NOTICE OF ELECTION AND REG ISTRATION.

One night while the guard was standing in front Of the house a negro came up and de clared that he had small pox.
