Unfortunate as these young gentlemen were in the selection of a night on which to give their charming entertainment they were nevertheless greeted by an appreciative audience which showed its thorough enjoyment of the performance by frequent applause, and almost incessant laughter, which followed the comic selections. The troupe is composed of rollicking, gay and festive youths, thoroughly gentlemanly in their deportment and manner and each' one the happy possessor of a well trained yoice. There was a peculiar freshness and piquancy about the whole affair that brings back the days of "Auld Lang Syne" and stirs the heart, with an old time feeling. What could ba brighter than "The Princeton Medley," "Chesnuts," "Bric-a-Brac" These are essentially of college smack and flavor. No one but school boys could write such "pleasant foolishness," and no one but school boys could impart to Euch odd, fantastic vagaries the zest, the life, the fun, ith which these bristled.

We do not care to particularize as to the relative advantages one possessed over the otiierd as to superiority of voicer but Mr. Shet reudered charmingly, upon a Time," and seemed to sing as conscious of his dower. Mr. Goltra in "The Warble, gave a doe exhibition of his power and received loud applause for some local "hits" in "Old Aunt Jemima." "The Three Fishers" was euBg by the entire Company with a harmony and beauty that could hardly be excelled. This was considered by those competent to judge the masterpiece of their entire performance.

The beauty of the piece wai evolved with wonderful dramatic and descriptive power and showed clearly the ability of these youn men to sing any piece, regardless of its difficulties. "Bohunkus" must be seen to be appreciated. This was strikingly original. It was a Princeton piece with Princeton boys to delineate it, and was full of conceits and quiet fun. The performance of Mr.

Crozier on tbe piano should not be passed without mention. The "Tarantelle" of Moszkowski was played in a most brilliant manner, and even with the poor instrumental his command, was very effective. The barrenness of the piano was particularly apparent in March, which requires a full toned instrument. But despite these deficiences, Mr. Crozier gave his audience genuine pleasure and showed himself a performer, of very decided ability and talent.

We cannot close this notice without making special mention of Mr. L. Rodman Wanamaker, tbe business manager of the Glee Club, whose pleasant manners and gentlemanly ways were such as to commend him to all and by which he made a host of friends. Superior Court. The greater part of the time of this court yesterday-was occupied with the trial of the case of C.

B. Wright and Alex. Oldham vs. The City of Wilmington. Suit to recover damages for injury to the property of the plaintiffs by rain, caused by an alleged imperfect sewer at the corner of Mulberry and Nutt streets, in July, 1881.

The city claimed that the sewer was constructed with ordinary skill and caution, and that on tbe occasion referred to there was an unusual storm of rain of such an extraordinary character that the injury caused could not be guarded against. The jury reudered a verdict for plaintiffs for the full amount claimed, amounting, with interest to $320.91. The case was ably argued by C. M. Stedman, for the plaintiff and Mr.

DuB. Cutlar for the defendants. In the case of J. C. Heyer vs.

Jno. C. Robinson, judgment was rendered for plaintiff for $1,102.75, with interest from February 3rd, 1885, at 8 per cent, per annum and costs. The case of A. G.

Gladstone Should yield and accept the amendment proposed, Mr. O'Connor says the Parnellites will vote against it. He telegraphs to the New York; Star on the 20th "In the opinion of the Parnellites an Irish Parliament will be a mockery if the matters in dispute are to be fought out again in Imperial Parliament, as they inevitably would be with imperial representation 3uch an incitement would be standing encouragement to loyalists to block legislation. Defeat at home might be reversed at Westminster. The mutineers would always De carrying their grievances to London, and constitutional government through an Irish Parliament would soon become an impossibility.

Open, shameless bribery would be resorted to, intrigues would flourish, the mutinous members would abstain from their parliamentary duties, and transfer the scene of warfare to the imperial houses, and the entire Irish legislature would be voted impracticable. The creatures and tools of Chamberlain are preparing cunningly devised memorials de signed to terrorize Gladstone into the retention of Irish members at Westminster, which is now seen to be the keynote of the fabric of opposition." Tbe late Henry J. Raymond, foun der of the New York Times, and equal as a journalist to any man born in the United States, -came very near becoming a school teacher in North Carolina when a young man. He told Mr. Greeley of his offer.

I'll give you And this was my first engagement on the press, and decided the whole course or my hre. Afterwards. Greeley wrote that Raymond was the best journalist he had ever known.

The drying up or firing up of the pea crop near the city seems to be hard to understand by the truckers. Some of them have given the crop an extra ploughing and it appears to be doing good. David Bell, a colored man living near Pelletier's Mills, has a real oyster pearl that he got out of an oyster seven years ago.

Charlotte Observer: As soon as the railroad gauge changing is completed the Richmond Danville road will run solid passenger trains from Washington City to Atlanta, a distance of 650 miles. The result of the April term of the court in fines, was about $406, which goes tp the county school fund. Two swindlers who have been operating; the money changing racket in the towns along the Carolina Central road, arrived in town yesterday from Matthew's Station, and if any of our merchants are asked by a stranger to a ten, they had better look sharp. fiThe Labor Commitets met this morning and did nothing except to invite Messrs.

Blair and Willis on the affirmative, and Messrs. Reagan and Miller on the negative side of the education measures to address the committee at its next meeting. It seems that the well known carpet bagger, Tim Lee, an officeholder under Re-' publican administrations, knows how to secure office under a Democratic President. He has a place in the Government Printing Office, and some Democrats inquire, how was this thing brought about? At a meeting of the prohibition club, at the court house last night, a resolution was adopted to petition the county commissioners to order an election on the prohibition question for the city of Charlotte, on the first Monday in June next. The estimation in which Judge Meares is held by our people seems to increase at each term of court.

He is an excellent criminal judge firm, courageous and just, and criminals already hold him in dread. They are beginning to realize, too, that in Judge Meares's court justice is swifter, if not surer, than it was in the Superior Court. THE GITX J. M. Powell A card.

WINSLOW As this question is frequently asked, we will simply say that she ia a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unt ringly devoted her time and talents as a female Physician and nurse, principally among children. sne nas especially studied tne constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teething.

It operates like magic giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence oi this article Mrs. Wins-low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of her race; children certainly do bisb up and bless her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs.

Winslow has immortalized her name by this invaluable arti cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil- dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely se. and that millions millions yet 'ei unDorn wiu share its benefits, and unite in a ten her blessed.
