H. The Birmingham News thiuki Congress snould adj >uru, as a mark of it .-pect to the oountrj, It appears from statist 09 that in mi ce 4,1)00 persous evory year, about ten a day, commit suicide. The young lady who is librarian of the public library of Los Angeles, Cal., has sued a minister of that city Tor praying for her iu public. More than two years ago A. 13. Carpenter, of St. Louis, stolo a kiss from Airs. Sarah 31, Pierce. A jury has finally concluded that he owes her 82,500 for it. Ex Seuator Warren rarely takes B morning's walk around his Wyom? ing farm. Quo reaEou is that it is six times as big as the State of Rhode I-hiud and has 'J.U0? horses, 16,000 cattle and KJU.??O sheep. The Omaha World lleiold, edited by Congressman Bryan, is opposed to the payment of the debt of the government, because the people woulu huve to be taxed to rai se the necessary tnonoy. and it calls taxa tiou for this purpose robbery. VNIVrUN novit. DiaiCOt/HI'E Those who were iu thorough sym pathy with Mr. Kusseli's delightful performance at thu Academy Thurs? day night, were not a little put out to have the whole of tho final do noueuieut completely spoiled by the rustle of overcoats and tho general rush to get a good point of vantage at tho door, Unfortunately this baa al? most grown to bj a custom and many have been mortified at tho discour tesy to tbo stage ub well as irritated at not hearing the closing sentences. Tbo so who ciuiso tho disturbance are innocent of any intention to bo discourteous, and a word is all that is necessary to call their attention to this thoughtless breach of good man nare. IOOO FUN lti H ECl'IO*?TWO ti I 1> KS. The recent full of Wei Hai-Wei has agaiu attracted public atteutiou tu the hostilities in that quarter, which have shown no Bign oi peace ful issue iu spite of pendiug negotia tious . They had almost been In-1 bi?ht of, however, for tno truth is tliut the world at large has too much to cope with in the serious problem of living to give more than a pass in? glance to foreigu wars and rumors of rebellion. The geueiai discord aud unreBt pervading near 1 v all countries and people seem to gain little quiet as time develops, so that the thoughtful man grows perhnps a little more ttioughtfui, aud the timid man more downcast in the pretence of Burrounding con ditious, A word on this text may not, therefore, be out of place. The pessurnist can tiud many things out of joint to gloat over, but even the man thut works aud hopes sees a great deal of poverty, lnjus tice and uncertainty on every side. Financial problems are still un? solved, the gold man has almost at tamed Iiis gold standard without the F.l Dorado ha has promised ns, while the silver advocate is no more able to uhato the widespread lack of confidence that, alter all, seems the irue reason for present depression. The weather prophet finds his theo vies npset ny unprecedented cold and blizzards; the cotton grower aud to baoco planter discover they have pat their confidence in leaky vessels; labor baa been more than usually aggressive and even the sleepy cour te?y of the United Statos Senate has town ruffled by harsh epithets and in siniialions about "Muscovy drukee." Tnru where you will, discord, and sometimes dismay, ure tbo sights that tirst catch tho eye?a spirit of i distrust in tho things meu bavo fought for aud truded iu, without bs jet a better faith iu auythiog. This stirring up is geueral aud BUrely must have somo signiticauoo if wo have wit enough to see it. The oilier side of tho subject pre scuts a happier Kspect ami may bo after all the only true aud roai point to cousider. Meu have bdeu made to think and with au earnestness they failed to have whou all was bright aud cheerful. Iu goverumeu tut problems statesmen are realiz? ing the justice is tho only solution I that will solve and towu buildurH | are working on what they con- j eider tho sure basis of facts, lu religion meu have been wrost bug litreely with vico and evil doings, aud are coming out into a spiritn.il certainty that faith with? out good works could never give. May it not bo then, that preaout uncertainties are but leadiug men into better understanding'/ May uot tho iierce conflict of good aud evil be tho harbinger of higher faith ami clearer truth, when the smoko of battle has blown away? No man can suy it is uot so, and all can at loast lind food for reflection. NO It I'll <MK?I.IM\\S VI' AP PO .TIA I I OX. Tho Wilmington Messenger makes I the assertion on tho authority of tho "Confederate archives'' that 5,022, or more than half of the whole number of Confederate sol? diers who surrendered at Appomat tox, wore North CaroliniauH, It adds: "We think it probable that the comment mado is erroneous; that the .regiments, etc., that sur? rendered had once contained lOU.OJU men or over. North Carolina bad some sixty five regiments of infant ry, besides artillery ,aud battalions of infantry, aud yet it never fur? nished more than lil?.OOL) men. The Hosier calls for ovor 13l),UUl), but, as is well known, a great many names aro duplicated. But the State had really betweeu 1'24,UU0 and 126,000, aud after losiug more than auy other State, as the Confederate reo ords show, it surrendered more at Apuomattox." The Old North State has a proud record in the history ot tho Cot: fedcracy. Nobly did she give of her treasure of muu and money, and splendidly was the ??? ->ery of her s>ms exhibititod on tue mauy bat tleliclds of the contest. In propo ttou to her military population she stands at the head of the list of Southern states, in supplying her quota of soldiery to tho Lost Cause. Rev. C. ir.

TELLING PRICES and SELLING PRICES in every department, without considering LOSS, is our maxim now. Wc are determined to force down our Winter Stock to a minimum before making our annual inventory, and have concluded to clean out every Heavy Weight Garment in the house "AT A PRICE." Mark you, we mean just what we say?AT A PRICE?and here is a chance that rarely presents itself, and never were such Hii>h Grade Clothing of? fered on sale at such Extremely Low Prices. Here are suits for Men, Youths' and Bovs; suits in exquisitely style, suits of this season's make; suits made up by our own experienced tailors (and not better workmen than ours can be found) cut by our own first-class cutters, ( inj no better nor more Perfect Fit? ting Garment can be produced) from the very finest Foreign and Domestic Cloths, Cassimeres, Worsteds, Tricots, Diagonals, Cheviots, in fancy effects for young men and soli i mixtures for older ones of quieter tastes. Suits that no man nor bov need be ashamed to wear, no matter what his rank or station; Suits that have sold freely (when sizes were in better condition) at $2.50, $5, $7.50 and some $10 more than we are now charging for them are included in this GREAT UNDER VALl1?E SALE cf Winter Weight. Wear? ing Apparel, to make them move as quickly as possi? ble, in order to reduce this enormous stock as rapidly as the emergency demands. These are Suits which are selling so fast, these are Suits that catch men of sense who know how to save money, these are Suits which are talked so much about, and these are Suits no man who contemplates purchas ng can afford to miss, and as we've sa',d before, the sooner he comes the netter he ll fare, for we in? tend to clean 'em out. without reserve, to avoid carry? ing anything like a surplus stock over until next season. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE NOW DOING. Here are Overcoats of Our Own Superior Make, and everybody knows, or could know, if they would investigate the fact, that we manufacture as tine Over? coats for young men and gentlemen, as can be seen anywhere in the Union. Here are English Top Coats in Meltons, Kerseys. Cheviots and manv other sub? stantial weaves. Here are Sack Overcoats in Wors? teds, Beavers. Tricots and Chinchillas, in manv shades and colors, with Silk Sleeves, together with Cassimere, Serge, Italian. Satin and Silk Trimmings. Here are Storm Coats and New Markets of the Wry Best Fabrics that money can procure.

I have no trouble getting waited on in other stores." Such remarks are frequent. No dull times experienced here. Can't Bfl'nrd it. It is not ttie stragbng customer we are entering for. It is the volume of business that enable* ns to sell at iesa money than what you can bay the same grades at the average shop. After a few minutes waiting Mr. -, from Princess Anne county, felt happy that bo possessed that not la virtue?pat enee?and leaving our store with one of our @5 Ail Wool Suits under his arm. declaring tho cheapest thiug ho ever saw, and that he would toll ull bis neighbors abont it.
