SPECIAL MENTION.

Or IMPORTANCE TO TAxPAYERs.-We
would most respectfully return our
thanks to our friends and the citi-
zens of Wilmington in general for the
very liberal share Of patronage they
have favored us with, our special sale
of stock having exceeded our greatest
expectations. There, however, still
remains more to be sold yet, as we
have decided to close out at still great
er reduced prices to make room for the
large stock of fall and winter goods
which we are about putting in our store.
We would rather give these bargains
at home than to dealers in the far west
and south, and by manufacturing our
own goods we are enabled TO place them
in the markets for much less than store
keepers who have to pay full manufac-
turers prices, with freight added) and
then put on large living profit, all Of
which the people who buy from them
have to pay. Just think of this and
see If it is not reasonable that We are
able to sell cheaper than small retail
stores. We world be pleased to have
you call and examine the low prices for
good goods before purchasing elsewhere,
and you cannot fail to be convinced

tion from James Bradford and others,
asking TO have water pipes extended
on Townsend street from B TO A. street.
Mr.. Adams presented petition from
q. b. Tindall to have ourbing and paw
ing l44 feet Of the south side OF Sher'
man street between Rowland and Pop
lar street.
Mr.. Rodney presented a petition from
Alfred Gawthrop contesting the seat
of Alvin Allen from the Fifth Ward.
Mr.. Paynter moved that the reading
of the petition be dispensed with. He
stated that 1t had been ascertained that
a number of the names published as
illegal voters in the petition Of Henry
Evans. belonged TO men who had q
legal right to vote and he was OF the
opinion that this petition also contain
ed names OF that kind, and he was
afraid that these contestants would get
themselves in trouble.
Mr.. Rodney-submitted that the Pc
tition OF Mr.. Gawthrop was entirely
different from that Of Mr.. Evans and he
claimed that the petitioner had right
to demand its reading.
Mr.. R. H. Taylor had no particular
objection to having it read, but he also
was very anxious to save the contest
ants from suits for damages, etc. He
also stated that the papers publishing
the list of names laid themselves open
to suits for libel.
Mr.. Msrris Taylor was willing to
have it read and he had no objection to
publishing the names it contained. He
didn't care II they were spread broad
cast to the world.
Mr.. Rodney was willing to have the
names of the illegal voters suppressed
but he again asked for the reading OF
the petition.
Mr.. McGlinchey was Of the opinion
that Mr.. Evans had gotten himself in
to trouble, and he wanted to save Mr..
Gawthrop from the same fate.
Mr.. Chandler thought that the petit
ton should be read. If Mr.. Gawthrop
was cheated out Of his seat, he had a
right to petition for justice. If there
was danger Of the petitioner getting
into trouble, that was his business and
not Councils. 1t struck him rather
peculiarly to see his Democratic
friends so careful of the interests Of Re-
publican contestants.
The motion to dispense with the read
ing was put and carried.
Mr.. Rodney moved that Monday even
ing, Oct. 13, be fixed for the reading of
the contest. Adopted.
Mr.. Rodney presented petition from
Harlan Cause asking that Twelfth street
to Poplar be graded.

(ORIGIN OF THE WoRp CANADA
John Leeds Bosnian, in his history Of
Maryland, says that when the Span
iards first landed on the Canadian coast
they looked around for a while, and
finding no indications of gold or silver,
cried out, AGA NADIA, meaning "there
is nothing here" The Indians hearing
this phrase nsed SO much, employed it
to designate the Spaniards after they
were gone. When the French arrived,
being white, the Indians took them for
the same kind of people, and cried out,
AGA NADIA, AGA NADIA. The French
supposed this to be the name of the
country, and dropping the a, called it
Canada. Mr.. Bosnian says there is the
best of authority for believing this to
be the true derivation of the name

Hunting tine Negro.
New York Observer. ]

The British have caught the negro
king. How they hunted him may be
learned by a. despatch TO the London
Telegraph, which says: San official
telegram from headquarters by this
mail gives particulars of the hunt after
| Cetewayo, which as ! write has not
ended in a kill. Baker Russell's and
Barrow's packs have been tired out
and foiled, but Clifford, with select
lot, was on burning scent yesterday
morning" On which the Evening
Post very truthfully remarks:
snow if snch despatch as this had
been printed in New York newspaper
during our strife with the Modocs or
with Sitting Bull the charges would
have been rung upon American bar
barity all over Europe. If Mr.. w. Ii.
Russell really sent this message to the
journal of which he is correspondent,
there will be considerable curiosity in
this country as well as in his own to
know it. After all said and done, the
Lulus have only been defending their
own lands and firesides, and certainly
they have made a sufficiently brave
fight of it to deserve, if any combatants
do, the treatment usual in civilized
warfare. The christian world will
scarcely look on with complacency and
see the Zulu King dealt with like
wild beast either before his capture or
afterward."
Another correspondent engaged in
the same war, says: IL flatter myself
i put an end to six Zulus." 1t is very
evident that the British regard the ex-
termination of Africans in the same
light as some of our barbarous writers
look upon the killing of Indians. Both

PUDDLE.

Especial to the Cincinnati Star.

Especial to the Cincinnati Star.
Columbus, KY. Oct. 13.-0ne of
the most remarkable characters of this
generation is Old Ned, who is seventy
five wears old and black as the ace of
spades, and who has actually lived in a
mudhole, summer and winter, for the
last twenty-one wears.
About twenty-three years ago he ran
away from his master and took refuge
in the cane brakes on the Missouri side
opposite Obion county, Tennessee.
The weather was extremely cold and
he became frost-bitten, losing his toes
and infaming his body with burning
fever, which has never deserted him,
and which he says nothing but the cool
ing application of mud allays.
His place of residence is generally
located near Union City, t0bion coun-
tx, and consists merely of a hole inthe
ground some four feet square and five
feet deep, flied with soft mud, with a
rude shelter over the top. There he
sits from day to day, and completely
covered with mud up to his waist, near
his arm-pits. He never allowssthe mud
to get dry on himself, but as soon as i
begins to dry mp he plasters himself
with more wet mnd, and thus keeps
himself completely clothed with the
same to his waist. Visitors bring him
all hcrequires to eat, and in the seserest
cold weather fires on the bank keep
him from freezing Thousands of peo-
pie have called to see him, and he is
certainly worthy of attention, as allthe
statements concerning him can be
verified.
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1879-10-25

An important decision has just been
made in the United States circuit
court, for the Western district of
Wisconsin, by Judge Harlan, of the
supreme court of the United States,
and Judge Burr, of the United States
district court. The important point
involved, briefly, is the right of the
Mississippi River Logging company
and Beef Slough Boom company, to
run loose logs down the Chippewa
river and Beef Slough the necessary
booms, dams and structures to enable
them to float the logs down the river,
and gather and boom them in the
Slough. 1t viii be remembered that
last year the Chippewa mill owners,
succeeded in having case brought In
the name of the United States, against
the Mississippi River Logging com
pany and Beef Slough company to re-
stain them from running loose logs in
the Chippewa. In this case the de-
PENDANTS demurred to the complaint,
and Judge Drummond sustained the
demurrer. At the same time he gave
leave to amend their complaint, which
they did. The defendants demurred
to the amended complaint, which de-
murrer was also sustained BY the
courts. Being thus beaten in their
several attempts to use the United
States in the prosecution for an alleg-
ed trespass on the part of the logging
companies the mill owners took new
tack, and induced one Edward New
man, proprietor of steamboat line
on said river, to bring the suit which
has inst been decided against him,
asking an injunction restraining the
logging companies from running loose
logs, or maintaining the necessary
structures aforesaid for the purpose,
on the ground that it was prejudicial
to the interest of navigation of said
stream. The court thus sustains and
declares valid the use of the Chippewa
river and Beef slough by logging com
panies for the purpose aforesaid.

him to visit Petersburg and address
them on their duty in the present State

in long letter, regretting his inability
to accept the invitation in consequence
of being booked for the campaign in

he is against Republication in every form
and most earnestly advises his people
not to give support, countenance or
