DEAR SIR The 1nci"sr.tl tier
from Hon. A. I'M. Waddeli, and the other
from Capt. W. L. Norment. will ex-
plain themselves.
desire to say thai Col. Wa.idei!
was mistaken in supposing that l was
chairman of the Duplin del, -gt.ion. i
was chairman of that delegation ut the
Wilmington Convention, but not III
Magnolia. DR.. W. J. Blount vas oui
chairman at the last named convention
While there was Il respectable m1no r
ity opposed to Col N'addcll, decided
majority of the delegates gave him an
enthusiastic support in which they
doubtless reflected the wishes of a
majority of our people. And the mi
nority who preferred some one else,
have already fallen into line, and old
Duplin will roll up her accustomed or
an increased majority.
AS for my old c.ass-mate and friend,
Capt. w. S. Norment, l desire to say
that he has always been as true as
steel, and the Piedmont Press does
him gross injustice when it puts him
among the boilers who went for Mer-
rimon. He voted, as the Journal
shows, for Vance from beginning to
| end. L speak for him, as L know he
will receive, the undivided support oil
the Conservatives of glorious old Du'
| plin. Indeed, the nominees for each
| of the positions with the Conservatives

plin county will do her full duty now
as heretofore.
Yours, very truly,

Since the recent experience in Ari
iona diamonds, all stories of western
gems are received with caution. The
Denver (Col.) Nescs asserts, however,
that some very fine sapphires have re-
Gently been found near that CITY one

some beautiful emeralds have been

Prussian discipline deals hardly with
those Germans who finch under it's
yoke. A Saxon officer, Hanoverian
by birth, who had served King George
till the time of his dethronement, and
when expatriated sought refuge under
the Saxon banner, has been cashiered
for refusing to drink the Emperor
Williams health on g. public occasion.
A Bavarian corporal of the reserve has
now BEEN dealt out even more rigorous
punishment Tor a lesser offence. Re-
garding the ar medal of 1S7O-'71, as
a badge of servitude to Prussia, he has
declined to wear it, and for this Of
fence he has been sentenced to degra-
dalton and a years imprisonment.
Against this sentence the corporal has
appealed, on the ground that he can
not be compelled to wear decorations;
but opinion in Germany seems to
doubt whether his suit will be sue
cessful.

BAKING GROUND FORA NEW
PARTY.

A Washington special to the New
York Graphic says
The Lew party movement is at length
fairly under way. Some nineteen
Western members of Congress have
recently adopted a platform which
they propose as the nucleus of new
party organization. This platform
runs somewhat as follows:
First, call for a constitutional con-
yention to effect several changes in
the fundamental laws of the United
States, among which will be: (a) The
election of President, Vice-President
and Senators blythe people; CO. subor-
dinating all corporations to the Nation
al Government; (c) disallowing a spe-
clal provision to any corporation; Id
adding largely to the authority of the
General Government in matters affect
ing transportation and the trades of
the country; (e) making such banking
provisions as will allow the General
Cover nment to institute banks under
its own authority.
Second, an immediate agitation for
committing Congress and the nation
at once to the carrying ont of the
scheme of the five great arti fetal water
routes recommended by the transpor-
tation committee of the Senate.
Third, the construction of at least
two direct freight railways, under the
authority of the general government,
so as to regulate the charges on the
main lines of the country.
With regard to the currency CUES
ton, the majority of those who attend
are in favor of imitation, but, as yet, it
is not made cardinal doctrine of the
new party. They willawait the course
OF events. The new combinations are
made without reference to old party
lines, and it is stated that no less
distinguished politician than Senator
Morton will be it's leader. The move
ment has the countenance, it is said,
of Logan, but the bulk of its adher-
ents are members Of the House of
Representatives.

The rest OF the money had been

law is that children under twelve must
not be employed at work; but in the
back country and other places this
provision is continually violated. One
man who earned by his own work 5000
year, made his son of twelve years
work all night--every night from D.
III. to 6 a. m. During the day the boy
had to go to school, and out of the
twenty-fonr hou1s he had only seven

But all this, bad as it is, is nothing

salt works of Droitwich. There the

men and women strip off their clothing

these works are horrible beyond de-
scription and chastity, morality and
decency among the workers are words
destitute of meaning.

A great calamity has befallen the
wine crop in France, which up to the
end of April had been one of unusual
promise. Early in May cold, sharp
winds, accompanied by rain, hail and
snow, set in, and severe frosts blight
ed the crops in the north, east and
southwest of France. It is estimated
that three-fourths of the vineyard area
of the country has been affected. In
the Gironde the great vineyards-cf
Chateaux Margaux and Chateau Lafitte
escaped injury, but the vineyards on
the marshes which border on the river
suffered severely. The vines in sandy
soil were but slightly touched, while
those on the grayely plains were affect
ed even less.

Picnic at Orln >by,S Bluff.

Dear Journal:
Lust Wednesday,. under the super
vision of the Rocky Point Grange,
Patrons of Husi,a,Idry, good portion
of tine beauty and chivalry OF Rocky
Point met ut Orrnshy's Bluff, Ior the
purpose of p;c-n!ck'ng it.
1"nr correspondent, after hard
mornings work arrived there about
II NJ, the crowd having been there
sufficiently cong TO be i'll full glee
Wa met with II public reprimand by
abont two dozen pretty Young ladies
ami as many gentlemen for my tardi-
ness. Asking and receiving pardon, L
was allowed to partake of the pleas
ures and hospitalities of the ''nickers.
L would like to give you a description
far short of justice, as naturally it is
one of the prettiest places in our
county.
1t is on North East river, about
twenty-five miles from Wilmington, in
Rocky Point Township-the width of
the river at that point is about two hun
bred yards. On the west sidei "bluff'
of about thirty feet. Immediately on
the shore is pine grove, with no I'M
dergro with. One hundred yards from
there is beautiful oak grove of about
four acres, which makes it naturally
the place for a picnic. In addition to
this, the Messrs. Ormsby Bro. s, own
ers of the property, have erected a
nice little cottage and store, where
| they carry on a regular merchandising
| business. They have greatly improved
the place, which renders it decidedly
the place for pleasure gathering
After looking around little, l soon
discovered a platform, erected tempo
rarily, by those excellent gentlemen.
Messrs Ormsby, full of the young peo-
pie, engaged in that healthful amuse-
ment, dancing. How they do enjoy
it
After little talking and dancing,
dinner was announced. Then | was
surprised. l thought the summer was
always considered a poor tine in the
country; but, sir, the table was laden
with everything you could wish for.
Every one, I believe, did it jnstice-I
Ltao1C [ did.
After dinner, Capt. Henry, of the
steamer Caswell, which runs trrm
Wilmington to Bannerman's Bridge,
regularly, invited the party to take g
ride up the river. They accepted his
kind offer, and soon all were comforta
bly, seated on the boat. He took them
up the riyerubout miles and back; the
trip was very pleasant indeed, and
after landing, when the Captain steam
ed away up the river, the woods echo
cd and re- ecohed the loud hurrahs fol
Capt. Henry from the crowd on shore
Night drawing near, it was evident
that Il separation mu take place. con
sequently about > o'clock p. m, a vote
of thanks was rendered Messrs. Orms
by Bros. for their kind and liberahlt
inequalities, ana to Capt. Henry, fol
the most pleasant feature of the pic

happy reflection that every one wa:
more than satisfied wish his days Ell
