This is an irritation or Inflammation
of the bronchial tubes, which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises
from a cold settled in the throat, from
catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the larynx
and CLOTHS, which are the organs of the
voice, and extending downwards, pro-
duces hoarseness, coughing and splitting
mucous matter, sometimes mixed with
blood. 1t is chiefly dangerous from its
tendency to spread into the lungs, and
terminate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases ofthis
disease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has achieved unparalleled
success, and won the loudest praise from
all who have used it. 1t is sold by all
respectable druggists. eod-dkw

On Wednesday night, the 22d inst,
the citizens of Raleigh will give ball
as sort of avant courier to the opening
of the watering season. These who
have in the past attended, similar re-
unions of the young, the beautiful and
the manly need not be told that it will
be brilliant. The names Of the mana
gers, as announced in an advertisement
in another column, give every assurance
that it will be conducted in such manner
as to render it an occasion not soon to
be forgotten. We know the Raleigh la
dies, and from old to young, and from
blsnde to brunette they will be there in
their loneliness. Young gentlemen OF
the city, you who work your fingers of,
and grow sallow over your business,
take an airing out to Raleigh on Wednes-
day evening. Smiles, good cheer and a
hearty welcome await you.

BAD BRIDGE.-The bridge over the
bayou on Market street is sadly in need
of repairs. At present it is dangerous
for foot passengers. Just beyond, the
plank sidewalk on Thornton avenue has
disappeared into deep wash filled with
water, and at present it is standing in
vitation for some pedestrian or would-be
suicide to leave the world.

LINCOLN CHAPEL.-This testimonial
church, situated on Rayburn avenue,
has been torn down, and on its ruins a
feed store has been established The
original chapel was burned during the
riots some years since, and the city had
to erect the last building in its stead at
heavy expense. 1t was situated on the
Beauregard property, which has been
sold, and the colored squatters located
thereon had to vacate; hence, the church
congregation had to find another place
ofworship. Nightly, even until near
dawn, the colored brethren met at Lin
coin chapel, and in the earnest exercise
of their devotions disturbed the entire
neighborhood. A tremendous stamping,
yelling and singing would break the
charming stiffness of the night, startle
the dogs on. bayou Gayoso's grassy
banks into prolonged bowling, and, as
far as the neighbors were concerned,

beth did it for Banquo. Muscular Chris
tianity, so prevalent among the colored
brethren, makes colored church. any
thing but q desirable acquisition in a
quiet neighborhood.

Foolish Attempt to Swim the English
Channel,

The London Times described J. B.
Johnson's attempt to swim across the
English Channel on the oath ult. The
start had been advertised for $50 A. NJ,
and at that time thousands of srecta-
tors were on Dover pier. At 1O:4O
Johnson accompanied by his sporting
friends, started from the pier on the
steamer Palmerston. v zen about 200
yards out he assembled le paddle box
and sprang into the LEA, amid the
shouts of the assembly, the steamer
accompanying him on his course. The
wind was moderate, but strong tide
was running with a short, chopping
sea. The swimmer struck out boldly,
and made the first two miles in thirty
minutes; at 11:20 he took some port
VINE and again 11:30. At 11:45 he
asked for some food, and requested to
De taken on board. AS the terms of
the race did not allow his coming out
OF the water, this settled the question.
