Canoes. March 14.-Sheriff Doby arrested near the Bichland linc in the Kook and English neighborhood yes & terday. Douglas Sand and Spencer j f^x Brown, twa negro boys aged about 12 j aad 14 years, respectively, charged ] with ree burning of two school nooses i and dwelling bouse ic ?he above named j section. The substance of the warrant ] apon which they were arrested is based anon a declaration made by a negro boy by the. name of Henry Johnson, who ia now confined in the Colombia jail, charged with the same offense. Sheriff Doby had no difficulty io mak? ing the arrest, and the prisoners are now io jail to await trial st the Jone term court. The Postmaster General has under 'consideration several designs for tho aew two-cent postage stamp for first class matter, which will supersede the j three cent stamp after Joly 1, 1883. ? A favorite design is similiar to the pre- j sent two cent-stamp osed for local postage, although the color is dark ! brown instead of red. Thus far the ? difficulty bas been to choose whose head ; shall ornament thc new stamp, but it is probable that the vignette will be that ? of General Grant. It will be fully a i meath before the design is agreed upon. | as it is desirable that the stamp shall j act only be of elegant finish, but plaiu | aad distinct and ia every way creditable j lo frbe department. "A new substance," consisting of a mistare af gelatine, glycerine and tan? nin, has been prepared by M. Potel and submitted ta the *'French Society of Eneonrsgemeat,*' which, as alleged, is ?t absolutely impermeable to the air. The inventer baa named it after himself, "Poteiine." Wheo warmed the mix? ture becomes nearly liquid, and takes the form of the object to which it is ap? plied. It bas been used as a coating to preserve meat. The claim made for it is, that at the temperature of 112 de? grees it envelopes tbe meat, kills the germs of putrefaction, and prevents any new germs passing in. According to M. Potel. meat thus treated will retain all sta freshness for two months.

The Republicans are losing strength rapidly. Tbe reason there was not a full Republican vote ont last October was because there was just so many Republicans who would not swallow the status of the Re publican national party, and they thought the rebuke should begin there. Those men will vote in 1884. but they will vote the Democratic'ticket, and they will have large accessions to their views. THE OUTRAGE HILL. The political persecutions which the United States Government seems to re? serve as a sort of annual exercise of its malignity and spite in Sooth Caro? lina, have extended to Clarendon Coun? ty. As has been* done in other counties of the State, citizens are compelled to [leave their business, and spend their time, very valuable to them at this season of the year, to answer to frivo? lous charges which amount to nothing, bat which serve as employment for Messrs. Snyder, Melton & Co., who are paid tools of Uncle Sam, and must have something to do. These prose? cutions are almost beyond endurance, when it is known that nothing but an? noyance can possibly come of the in? dictments, which are only made to vex ! the Democrats, and deter them from ' exercising zeal and vigilance in future j elections. The names of the gentlemen arrested in Clarendon are H. J. Wheeler, Frank P. Cooper, G. T. Washburn, David Welsh, R. M. Pierson, D. M. Pierson, Ned Kennedy, J. J. McFadden, Jr., Robt. McFadded, colored, and A. Boy kin. We learn that Cols. J D. Blanding and Jos. H. Earle have been retained to defend them, which we are satisfied will be successfully done, since their experience as attorneys in similar cases last spring have made them thoroughly acquainted with tbe devious ways of the Government in such cases. THE LUNATIC ASYLUM. We have received a copy of the fifty ninth annual report of tbe State Lunatic Asylum, which shows a satisfactory con? dition ot this humane institution. Du? ring the year there were 255 admissions. Toe whole number under treatment were 755. There were discharged 205, of whom 62 were considered as recov? ered, 29 as improved, 14 as unimpro? ved, 3 escaped, 1 not insane, 78 died, anJ 18 were released in probation Of 560 patients, 525 are supported by the State, and 25 are supported by themselves. The Act of the General Assembly requiring County Commissioners to in? vestigate tbe ability of the inmates to support 'themselves, bas not been of much advantage in adding to the Hst of j private patients. Only two have been re? ported as having means of support, and the friends of these have only made promises to pay. The building is in good repair, and an important addition is the new laun? dry for which a special appropriation was made. Tbe principal improve? ment however, was the completion of the North wing of the boildiog which was finished last October. Easter Eggs. Easter comes very early indeed this year; upon the 25th of March, which is almost as early as it can ever be, and people are, therefore, preparing what io old times used to be called pass eggs. It is a good plan, too, for tbe -egg colorers of a neighborhood to hold a sort of "bee," and unite in tbe produc? tion of dyes, thus saving time and money. The exchange of eggs between friends j as a token of love or friendship, is a j very ancient custom, dating almost to the flood for it is a symbol of the ark, j as well as of the resurrection, which is I tue reason that we present them at Easter, lt is moreover a very univer? sal eos to ru prevailing among different nations and religious. The Jews placed eggs OB their Passover tables, the Druids used them in their ceremonies, and the Persians frequently gave them as New Year's gifts, if you should happen to be in Russia this month, a Russian would greet yon with "Christ is Risen," aud offer au Easter egg-and stranger still, if you were in the East, a Mohammedan woold do the same. At city confectioners fa ney sogar eggs some of them of enormous size, and -containing panoramas of landscapes and figures, or else filled with bon bons -may be bad at all prices ; bot appro? priate home-made ones are worth twice as much. To dye eggs, onion skins put in the water in which they are boiling wi!) make them a bright yellow, or if left longer in tbe solution, will make them a rich brown. Logwood or violet ink gives a. royal purple, cochineal, pink and crimson ; and many pieces of chintz or bright ribbon that fade easily, if sewed tightly around the eggs, will color them nicely tn Sgures, stripes, or dots; another way is to dip the eggs in? to bot water and then write a name or motto on the shell with tallow. It is theo boiled io a solution of dye wood, when the inscription will appear in white, upon a colored ground. Those who are skilful with pencil and paint brush can present their frieuds with really exquisite souvenirs, by or? namenting eggs with flowers and butter? flies, or appropriate texts of scripture. For these painted eggs, it is better to puncture a tiny hole with a pin in each side, and blow out the inside, leaving a clear shell, than to boil them ; and the apertures can be concealed by stars of silver or gilt paper. *New York tradesmen have adopted au ing?nions dodge. Circulars were sent until nobody would open them, until a genios hit on the plan of send? ing bis advertisements to London and having them posted. Of course any lady will eagerly open and read a missive enclosed ra au envelope postmarked Load on wrtb instructions to Teturn to Dynamite and Outrage in England. LONDON, March 15.-A terrific ex plosion occurred in the local govern? ment board offices in Westminister at 9 o'clock to-night, destroying much property. The report was heard in the House of Com mous, and caused alarm. The concussions was so great that it shook thc side galleries and re? porters' gallery, it being the dinner hour few members of the House were present in the hall. The Dake of Edinburgh was in the Peers' gallary and seemed alarmed. No one was in? jured. The wildest rumors are afloat. The report resembled the discharge of an 80-ton gun. The explosion was at first ascribed to gas, but the impression is growing that it was caused by dyna I mite and that a deliberate attempt was made to blow up the Government offi? ces. The explosion being the subject of consideration in the House of Commons, Sir Wm. Harcourt, home secretary, said he did not think it would be right to say anything about the matter until an official inquiry had been made. He had heard that an attempt had been made to blow op the Times office, but tbat no injury had been dene. Tbe ex? plosion was beard at the distance of two or three miles. Yesterday evening a canister contain? ing explosive materials was found be? hind the Times office, with (it is ru? mored) a lighted fuse attached. The police are making an investigation, officials think that the explosion was caused by gunpowder or dynamite. The officers of the gas company declare that they can find no evidences that it was j caused by gas. The force of the exp?o- j sion shot taree portions of masonry j across the street. LONDON, March 18-Lady Florence I Dixie was attacked at Windsor yester day by two men disguised in women's j clothes. Her dress was cut with dag- j gers in several places but she received i no injury. Lady Florence was walking ! in a secluded spot near the woods, j When the two men asked her what time it was. She replied that she had j no watch, and afterwards noticed that though they wore women's clothes their j faces had been shaved. Much alarmed, j she started to walk away and was fol- ? lowed by the men, one of whom seized j ber. Sbe struggled to escape, but see- ! ing their daggers fell in a swoon. The | last thing she remembers is one of the j men. pushing a quantity of mud into) her mouth On ber recovery she found ? that both palms were cot across and her j gloves severed. ? here were two dagger I boles two inches apart in the right j breast of her dress. A broad steel i corsetttib had been broken by the wea- j pon which had penetrated to the inner [ lining of her dress at the first stroke, j and to her corset at the second stroke. ; Lady Florence supposes thal she on- j consciously struggled with thc men, as? sisted by her dog, until the scoundrels were disturbed by a cart passing the woods. She received threatening let? ters while in Ireland recently. WASHINGTON LETTER. [From our ^Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, March 17, 1883. The Capital of the United States has survived the Wiggins catastrophe, and is beginning to thaw in the pulsations of spring. The delightful weather of the past week has been improved by the beau monde which still lingers herc, and the streets, parks, avenues, and j shops have been alive with fashionably j attired ladies who oscillate not like Byron's man 'between a smile and tear,' but like a woman between a seal skin jacket and a parasol. The fourteenth street road and the soldiers home Park are once more gay with elegant liveried carriages, drags, buggies, bicyles, and a sprinkling of ladies and gentleman on horseback. Equestrianism had until recently been a lost art in and around Washington The perfectly smooth, hard streets upon which the wheels en? countered not even a gravel, lent such an attraction to motion on wheels that the more robust exercise of the saddle bad been eschewed. But just as the easy graceful motion of the glide waltz bas given way to the saltatory kicking of the polka and racquet, there is now a tendency to forego the luxury of cushions and wheels for the noble ex? ercise which Shakspaare describes in its perfection as being 'encorpsed and demi-natured with a brave beast.' At any rate horseback riding seems to be the style, and who is so foolish as to | brace himself against the tidal wave or any other kind of a wave, unless per? haps it be a Saratoga wave which is rather nice. To the sojourners at the North Pole who do not know what a .Saratoga wave' is, I will explain that it is the artificial frizzes worn on the brow of beauty. j The Star lloute trial has received a new element of interest in the appear? ance on the witness stund of Ex-Assistant Post Master General Brady. He got. j along very smoothly in the hands of his own counsel, but he is now on the rack of cross examination, and it is expected that he will have an opportunity to ex? plain how he became a millionaire ou a salary of about ?5.000 per year. Thc Civil Service Commission has secured rooms in thc City Hall and will soon bc ready to examine candidates j for Government offices. There will no j doubt be many applicants for examina- j ti on. and while bot few of these can now ! get Government positions, owing to the ! limited number of vacancies, it has been j suggested that a certificate of proficicn- j cy from this board may be of service to ! them in securing clerical work el<e where. There is no reason why such j a certificate should not be as valu- ( able to the holder as a diploma in the bands of the average college gra- j duate. lt might not certify that he had ; a smattering of Greek, Latin, and ! Conic sections, but it ought to certify j that be bas a ready acquaintance with the branches taught in thc higher ' grades of the common schools. The recent pleasant weather has j given an impetus to public works here. Giant steam dredges are at work on the j Potomac flats. Washington's Monu- j ment bas resumed its upward growth. One hundred and fifty feet moro are to be added to its already dizzy height, j which will make it the highest structure j in the world. Work is being poshed on the new pen- ? sion building; it will be an immense! structure.-a monument and a warning, j A monument of the war, of a nations ? gratitude, of the zeal and trickery of j pension agents. It will be a warning ? to the people of the United States for j all time to avoid if possible a war which cost in pensions at the rate of ?100,000,000 per annum seventeen, years after tbe last gnn has been fired., Tarions other improvement* are; going on in different parts of the city, not as rapidly as in the day of Boss Shepherd, but what is lost io speed is gained in permanence and economy. Every citizen of the United States has or should have an interest in his coun? try's capital for the maintenance and im? provement of which he is taxed, and which unlike any other part of this country except Alaska is governed directly by Congress. Married at Last. On Wednesday at ll o'clock, at Tokay, the residence of Hon. Wharton B. Green, four miles from Fayetville, N. C., Judge David Davis was married to Miss Ade1 ie Burr. It was a quiet wedding, with but few guests. Kev. J. C. Huske officiated with the Episco? pal service. The presents were nu? merous and costly. At 1 o'clock the happy couple left on the steamer Murchison, which had been specially prepared and beautifully decorated, for Wilmington. Judge Davis bad ar? rived on Saturday night and was enter? tained at Tokay. He was accompanied by Judge Otto, Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher, Dr. and Mrs. Cook and Miss Cook. The bride is a native of Massachusetts, but ber parents have resided in Illinois. Her aunt first married Captain Ellery, and by him had a daughter ; she then married G eoe ral Green, of North Caro? lina, who by a previous marriage had a son. Wharton G. Green, who inter? married with Miss Ellers. Miss Burr is a most accomplished and elegant lady of 35. She bas made her home chiefly with Mrs. and Mr. Green. The affair was elegant in all its surroundings The bridal party will make a tour of the North and West. A tablespoonful of charcoal io half a glass of water often relieves a sick headache. It absorbs the gasses and relieves the distended stomach, pressing against the nerves that ex? tend from the stomach to the head. A doctor at Richmond says that if people will take a bath in bot whiskey and rock salt twice a year 1hey will never catch a Cold. Until somebody has tried this new remedy we would say stick to the old and reliable Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. There is a chap in Philadelphia who wants to marry Louise Montague. As the lady bas just come into possession of $150, be is sup? posed to be willing to put up with ber per? sonal appearance for the sake of the money. If you don't want lo freeze when it's cold ; suffer from excessive perspiration when its warm-use Brown's Iron Bitters. The "Hair Album" is tbe latest craze. You give your girl a lock of your hair ; she ties it with a blue ribbon, and puts it away in a book with a lot of other fellow's hair, writing over it your name, age, color of your eyes, and date of receiving it. A rich man may improve his lands any way be pleases, but a poor man can only do it by a strict adherence to the laws of Nature ; and these laws plainly indicate Ashley Ash Ele? ment and peas as the great Renovators. What becomes of the hair pins ? is a ques? tion that has never yet been satisfactorily answered. Over two tons aro made now every day in the country. No child will have a rosy complexion as long as worms exist io the intestines. Sbriner's Indian Vermifuge will destroy the worms and restore the health of the child. Louisville has discovered that women are particularly fit to be drug clerks, and a num? ber are already employed in the best stores. "They seem to learn by intuition," says an employer; "one look or word suffices where a man would require a hundred words of in? struction. When my woman clerk bas a mat? ter in band, I am certain that roy order will j be carried out." Has Confidence in lt. Mr: Jno. D. Cappelmann, Attorney at law, Charleston, S. C., says: "I highly recommend ! Norman's Neutralizing Cordial for all trou- j bles arising from a disordered stomach. I bare used it several years and I know it to I be all that is claimed for it."
