A COMPLIMENT TO CAPTAIN KING.
The members of Company d, fire brigade,
have prepared a magnificent silver trum-
pet to be presented to their much
esteemed commander, Captain j. j. King,
and the ceremony will take place at the
engine-house, corner Of Brook Avenue and
Marshall streets, at 81 O'Clock tonight.
The trumpet was exhibited in our office
this morning, and is really splendid in
strument, and as token of regard from
the trusty men of Company ID, will, we
doubt not, be highly rrized by Captain
King, himself most active and intrepid
fireman. Besides the presentation cere-
monies, the boys have arranged for other
diversions during the evening, and if no
fire-box is opened to call them to duty
elsewhere, expect to devote an hour or two
to genuine social intercourse.

GENERAL ITEMS.

A difident youth was paying his ad-
dresses to a gay lass of the country, who
had long despaired of bringing things to a
crisis. lie called one day when she was
alone. After settling the merits of the
weather, the girl said, looking slyly into his
face: 81 dreamed Of you last night"
IBID you? Why, now ~ "i.esy; ..y; |

said?" "Oh, l dreamed she wasn't at
home" A light dawned on the youths

The reign of paper money is now
strangely wide. Russia, Austria, Italy,
France, Spain, and the United States, six
of the eight foremost nations in the world,
have legal tender paper with forced cir
culation. France and Spain are afflicted
by numberless local currencies with no
general acceptance. England and Germany
alone, among the great powers, maintain a
a special circulation, and recent events may
we'll suggest doubt whether under disas-
ters as trying as those which have lately
befallen France, they, too, would not sacri-
fee their favorite theories to an apparent
necessity of temporary expediency.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports an
improvement in the shipbuilding trade in
that city. 1t says: In every yard the
greatest activity prevails; even in the
smallest establishments, where but recently
the growing grass proclaimed the stagna-

of skillful labor announces the renewal OF
life and energy. Between Bristol and the
Breakwater at least seventy-five vessels OF
various descriptions are now under way in
different stages of construction, and many
more will follow at the earliest possible
moment, to aid in filling up the vacancy in
our American marine, of which the coun-
try has SO long felt the evil results.

DEATH FROM SPOTTED FEvER.-On
Sunday morning Mr.. j. w. Cawson, Jr.,
late of Isle of Wight, died at his mothers
residence, No. 209 Fourth street. His dis
ease was cerebro-spinal meningitis, or spot
ted fever. lie was troubled last week
with eruptions like boils ON the back of
his neck. These gave him little pain or in
convenience, but they were succeeded by
unmistakeable symptoms of cerebro-spinal
meningitis. On Saturday morning his
flesh became spotted, and at three o'clock
in the afternoon he became insensible and
remained so until he died. The deceased
was employed at Tony Zetelle's restaurant.
He had relatives in Norfolk and in Isle of

THE POLICE CouRT.-Justice White
had his hands full this morning of the
usual variety of vexatious cases growing
out of drunkenness, ill-governed passions,
and other vicious propensities, the details
of which are often disgusting. A warrant
of arrest is the too ready recourse of the
degraded and unfortunate of our city. One
warrant often provokes another and dis
putes, insignificant in themselves, perhaps,
are thus transferred to the open court, and
the parties subjected to all the .odium of
arrest, the exposure of public examination,
the loss of time and money, ending, in a
majority of cases, with fines or confinement
in Jail. There are many of the more de-
graded people Of this city continually going
through this course of experience, and they
seemingly never grow anywiser.
