Business in the Second District
yesterday was a myth, as Artemus
Ward would say, at had no actooal
egsistinee."
The GalGcy and Lippinc0H's Mag

indeed to make two nor interesting
periodicals.

ian who was found with roll of cOun-
terfeit money in his possession, will
come up before the US. Commission
er to-day, for final disposal.

the warmeSt congratulations OF his
friends.
The question was asked yesterday
"what is TO prevent Williams, the
late registrar, from issuing as many
certificates as se ~pleases?" We see
! none except Mr. Williams known
honesty, for it would be very easy for
HIM to ante-date the documents suf-
heiantly to make them valid.
Preparations have been made to
render the bali at Raleigh tonight the
! most brilliant affair of the sort that
has been given this season. We hear
| OfnumbeFE of our "youth and beau

have no doubt that al who go will be
amply repaid for the jaunt.
The contested election case oil
Marland L. Perkins vs., Harry Lee

drew the charges made by him before
Squire Griffith against Tom Busha and
| Mat. Arnold, the QGlpred BARRIERS

the gantleman's having $50 on that
occasion.

"A statement having appeared in
the Banner a few days ago, to the
effect that the Memphis and Char
lesion Railroad was a delinquent to
the State. Col. NJ. j. Wicks writes to
the Mr.. John GVertOn, at Nashville,
denying the allegation. He says, on
the contrary, that the company are
large holders of State bonds, and had
sd 200 in coupons due on the first of
July. Col. Wicks says the road pro-
posed to pay its interest on June 30th,
by giving the Comptroller this S21, 900
in coupons, and the balance, $4,000
in cash. That mnctiOnary refused to
receive it, and he notified Gov. Senter
of the fact, but up to the date of his
letter to Mr.. OvertOn, DULY 17th,) had
not heard from him on the subject.
-"Up il 3 balloon" is just now
the fashionable amusement of ladies
and gentlemen who haFe the time
and a dollar or two to spend in a trip
in ThOmpsOn's mammoth air ship.
We know of nothing more delightful
than one Of these trips, and the piano.
rama unfOlded to the vision at the al
titude of six hundred feet is mex
pressibly grand and beautiful. The
sensation of dizziness usually caused
by gazing downward from such
heights, is scarcely felt when looking
out from the baSket-the guard ropes
and sides giving a sense of security
that goes far to overcome all nervous
ness.
The lady managers of the "Church
Orphans Home" desire to offer a
public testimonial TO Mr., John Cub
bins, who has so zealOusly interested
himself for the erection of a building
for the orphans. We feel that our
success in completing the asylum so
speedily is in a great measure owing
to the interchangeable exertions of this
gentleman, under whose supervision
the house has been erected, in the
short interval between Easter and the
present date. In this connection, also,
we return our hearty thanks to one
and all who have contributed so gem
erously in the way of building mate
rials, that our expenditures have
thereby been very much lessened and
our work greatly promoted.

day or two ago to steal it away, but
was detected and informed on by a
