Delaware, Florida and Nevada, all combined do not exceed this. America is fast becoming Europeanized. We are pleased to see that the Washington correspondent of the Richmond State thinks that the Tariff Commission has been damaged very badly if not killed practically. It occurred in the Committee of the Whole. Kasson wanted to proceed to its consideration.

The correspondent says: "Instantly a point of order was made by Carlisle and others against this motion on the ground that the Commission bill -was not a bill for raising revenue, and hence that it was not, under the rules, entitled to the precedence given revenue bills. It was felt at once on both sides of the House that this point of order was probably a deathblow to the Commission scheme. After an hour's debate, during which Kasson and Haskell were the only members ot the Ways and Means Committee who put themselves on record as holding that the Com mission bill was a bill for raising revenue, Chairman Robinson, of Massachusetts, delivered a concise, clear, and conclusive de cision sustaining the point of order. Mr. Kasson collapsed, and the opponents of the bill chuckled.

It was seen that there were fifty-seven bills on the calendar ahead of the Commission bill, and the only way to get at the latter was to lay aside each one of the fifty -seven bills by a formal vote." The medical profession has lost one of its greatest lights in Prof. Joseph Pancoast, of Philadelphia, who died on Tuesday. He was born in New Jersey in 1805. The following concerning him we copy from an exchange "Anions: the many new operations de vised by him was one for soft mixed cataracts upon the eye, a new process for removing cystic tumors, and a quick process for correcting strabismus. He four times performed with success a lumbar operation for large abscesses lying in the connecting tissue between the colon and coecum and the front of the quadratus muscle, and was the originator of the operation for the relief of atrophy of the bladder, and associated his name with many other triumphs of surgical skill.

He was the author of a number of medical and surgical works, among them a 'Treatise on Operative and was a voluminous contributor to prominent medical journals. There is a new comic opera that promises to rival "Patience in popularity." It is entitled "Claude Duval; or, Love and Larceny," and was originally produced at the Olympic Theatre, London, last August. It has just been tried at the Standard Theatre, New York, and with entire success. The libretto of "Claude Duval" was written by H. P.

Stephens, and the music is the composition of Edward Solomon. These gentlemen are chiefly known in this country as the authors of "Billee Taylor." The Times says it is inferior to "Patience." The Philadelphia Times, Independent, is pleased to regard Arthur's appointing of Conkling as "an affront to the country and an insult to the United States Senate that would have been resented were that body capable of maintaining its own dignity." And still Southern Senators helped Arthur in the affront. The Times says further "The Government of the United States should be better employed than in complimenting clouded friends and giving certificates of character to defeated Stalwarts." David Navarro, the. fat boy who weighed 730 pounds, has died of small-pox. His parents refused some time ago to have him vaccinated.

He weighed seven and three-quarter pounds when he was born, and seven hundred and thirty pounds before death. His measurement was ninety-seven inches around the waist; around the chest, seventy-five inches; thigh, fifty-seven inches; neck, twenty-four inches. He was born in Illinois, in 1861. Secretary Forster in his speech at Tullamore, Ireland, on last Tuesday, "said he regretted to state that the reports of outrages were true to a great extent, and reproached Irishmen's want of courage in yielding to intimidation. The government, he said, were determined that neither landlord nor tenant should mar the land act." His speech was well received and be was treated with courtesy everywhere.

The following offends the North, but is it not true? The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Clarion thus notes a matter that has attracted much attention. It says: "While every species of college rowdyism is rampant at Yale and Princeton and other centres of culture and morals at the North the colleges and universities of the barbarous South' are moving on serenely without serious infractions of college discipline," i i iMtesaggecaagg Take BLAOKrPB AU QHT and you will never be bilious. For sale by J. C. Munds, A Young Colored Man Attempts to Swim Ashore from a Vessel and Is Drowned.

Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a young colored man, by the name of Sam Smith, employed on the Schr. American Eagle, Capt. Schroder, which was lying at anchor in the stream opposite Capt. Skinner's marine railway, pulled off his pants and jumped overboard from the schooner with the intention of swimming ashore, but had reached a point only about twenty-five yards distant from the shore, or a raft that was lying at the wharf when he. sank and was drowned.

Some boats in the vicinity, in response to his calls for help, put out with the intention of affording him assistance, but were too late to save him. Capt. Schroder was ashore at the time, and the mate was busy and did not notice the man when he jumped into the river. Deceased was between 18 and 20 years of age, and came here from Norfolk, Virginia. The body had not been recovered at last accounts.

A Sad Fate. The young man Havener, who was drowned off the steamer D. Murchison a few nights since, an account of which appeared in yesterday's paper, called at the City Hall the day before leaving here, stating that he was from Texas; that he formerly worked in a factory in Fayette-ville; that he had barely enough money left to pay his way to Fayetteville and buy something to eat, and requested lodging for the night, which was granted. Chief Brock says he was neatly dressed, talked intelligently and acted in a manner calculated to make a favorable impression. Judging from his conversation, the young man had gone to Texas with the expectation of bettering himself, but had failed in so doing, and was anxious to get back once more to what he termed his "old stamping ground." Poor fellow Just as he was on the point of realizing the fond hope which had buoyed him up through his long and wearisome journey, the dread summons came and he was snatched from time to try the realities of a never-ending eternity.

May he rest in peace. Daily Weather Bulletin.

OI TRADE. A Talk with Some of Our Prominent Dealers, and What They Think of Business. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, the business indications for the new year could not be said, as a general thing, to have been very reassuring. The rather unhealthy financial tone, coupled with the somewhat short crops, as compared with previous years, in some at least of the leading peoductions of the country, could not be taken as a very encouraging indication of the business prospects in the near future but, notwithstanding this fact, and the evident tendency of antagonistic elements to bring about a different result, Wilmington has steadily and constantly improved in all the essential particulars which go to build up a city and establish it upon the high road prosperity. We took the pains yesterday to go around among some of our leading merchants and business men and get their views as to the business of the place.

They don't seem to think we are much on a "decline." One of our oldest retail grocery dealers told us that the business was better right now, and had been since the new year came in, than it had been before in the past twenty years. One important feature, he said, was the large increase in cash and consequent decrease in the credit business. Very little was heard about credit now, he remarked. Another retail grocer said his business had increased during the past few months nearly fifty per cent, and the indications for the future were most encouraging. A prominent dry goods dealer informed us that that there had been a considerable increase perceptible in his business, and it was of a much healthier character than formerly, there being more cash and better collections than in many past seasons.

One prominent dealer in clothing informed us that his business had doubled itself thus far this year, and that there was more demand for finer goods than formerly, showing a healthier state of finances among the general public than had previously prevailed. Stocks in this department, we are assured, will be largely increased to meet the prospective improved demand. One hardware dealer assured us that his business had improved at least 25 per and others not only admitted an increase, but the prevalence of a healthier tone in the business. Prominent wholesale grocery dealers represent their business as improved from 15 to 25 per cent. with encouraging prospects ahead, and the wholesale dry goods dealers speak with equal satisfaction of their past business and confidence as to their future prospects; and so on through all the various departments of trade, each showing a manifest improvement, not only in the increased volume of business, but in the healthiness of its tone.

RIVER AND IHARINE. Br. barque May Flower, Nuville, from Ma Lanzas for this port, put in at Charleston. S. for a harbor on the 7th inst.

The steamer Clinton, which was recently overhauled and repaired, and was on her way yesterday to Bannerman's Bridge, returned in consequence of come derangement in her machinery, which will require other slight repairs. Capt. Morse, of the pilot-boat Uriah Timmons, reports having, on the 5th inst. passed through the floating fragments of what appeared to be the wreck of a small steamer off the Frying Pan Shoals lightship, and picked up a pair of steps, a water gauge and the gong of the engine room. Nothing was discovered to indicate the identity of the unfortunate craft "WINE OF CAWDUi" four times a day makes a happy household.

Oxford Torchlight Colonel Bridgers, according to our notion, is a sensible railroad man. Instead of reaching for through freights to be brought at reduced rates from some far-off section, he is going to work and giving aid and countenance to feeders to his road. Oxford Orphan's Friend: The wheat in Granville is unusually promising.

The early sowing of tobacco seed is coming up, and a few peach blooms are seen. Rev. Wm. Hill Jordan-is quite sick dangerously so. it is thought.

He was at church in Oxford on Sunday. A correspondent of the Raleigh News-Observer says: Another great interest in Winston is the dried fruit business, in which this town leads all others. The annual shipments from here never fall short of thirty car loads or 600,000 pounds, and have in some seasons been eighty car loads, or 1,600,000 pounds. This dried fruit consists of apples, blackberries, peaches, pitted cherries and damsons. Rev.

B. B. Culbreth, pastor of the Methodist Church at Cary, makes an appeal for help to rebuild the church destroyed by fire recently. He says: It is absolutely necessary that the church should be rebuilt; but the membership there is quite small, both in numbers and financial ability. They are not able of themselves to rebuild.

I therefore take great pleasure in calling the attention of my beloved friends everywhere to the matter. Greensboro Patriot Jamestown is soon to have a shuttle and spoke factory.
