IN commenting on Bull Run Russells let
tiers, wherein he complains of the carrying
of weapons in this country, the New Or
leans Democrat remarks:
There Is one assertion in 1t, however, that
Is correct, and which deserves the consid-
GRAFTON of the Northern papers as showing
the views of an unprejudiced observer, and
this is his declaration that the evils of
which he complains are Just us common
North as South of Mason and Dixon's line,
and that the attempt of certain Republican
papers to convince The world that life in
the South Is attended with dangers of VIC
lence and murder Is absurd, rs he (Russell)
could find no difference between the two
sections In point of carrying ana using pis-
tolls.
If our friend Dawes is not too remote and
inaccessible we trust he will at once pre-
pare a speech in reply There are symptoms
of the old insurrectlonary spirit in this re
mark.

In A PROMINENT PLACE on its editorial
page the Charleston Ne,ps and Courier has
the following: "To whom it may concern
Letter received. BE there as proposed,
rain or shine and the appointment will
be kept. Full justice will be done all con-
cerned, but for obvious reasons no further
publication than this can be made until
after Wednesday"
This is all the advance notice we have of
the impending duel. 1t is not even told
whose gors is liable to flow. Wade Hamp-
ton should "send his address" without
delay, and provide himself with rubber
overcoat in case of storm. We pause
with breathless interest for the next gale
that sweeps from the South.

Eastern Railroad.

The annual report of the Directors of the
Eastern Railroad for the twelve months ending
September 80, 1881, the statistical portion of
which has been mostly given heretofore, says:
The results show both the largest gross and net
earnings of any year in the history Of the road.
The gross earnings show an increase of $780,
217.63, and the net of $39,672. 90, over those of
the preceding year. The value of the property
has been fully maintained by the amount
charged to operating expenses. By the sale of
securities held by the company, and the use of
500 664 of the net earnings of the year, the
remainder of the floating debt outstanding at
the time of the reorganization has been paid.
The year upon which the road has just entered
opens with as large an increase as was shown
10 the year covered by this report. The board
also expresses its appreciation of the fidelity
to the interests of the corporation shown by
the heads of the departments, as well as the
employees generally. The annual meeting will
be held at the Meionaon, Boston, next Wed
nesday.

A Burglar Captured.

About 10 80 O'Clock this morning the wife OF
Mr.. John Noyes who resides at No. 26 Oxford
street was awakened by a noise in the house.
She supposed some one was knocking at the
door, but on getting up saw man crawl
out from beneath some clothes which were
hanging over the foot of the bed and run into
an adjoining room. Mr.. Noyes Immediately
arose and pursued the man, who ran through
an entry into a front room and shut the door
behind him. Mrs. Noyes held the door till Mr.
Moves dressed himself. The latter then went out
on to the street and found window open in the
room into which the burglar ran. While stand
ing there Mr.. Noyes saw man coming up the
street, and noticed when he got near him that
he was destitute of hat. The man inquired
coolly what was up. Quite number OF the
neighbors had collected in response to Mr..
Moves shouts, and suspecting that the indiyid-
ual without the hat was the burglar two young
men took him into custody and delivered him
over to the authorities He subsequently con-
fessed He gives his name as Christopher
Moore, and says he belongs in Williamsburg,
NY. He is a sailor and left his vessel at Fall
River and came to this city last Friday. He is
about Sc years old. He was somewhat intoxi-
Gated Before he was discovered, he had taken
Mr.. Noyes' pocketbook from the latter's pocket
and possessed himself of pair of mittens and
several other articles of small value. He en-
tered the house by the same window he got out

o1TY GOVERNMENT.
Special Meeting Of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen.

A special meeting of both branches OF the
City Council was called last evening.
IN BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
An order was passed authorizing the city
treasurer to pay to the Widows Wood Society
the sum Of $240, the annual interest on the
Clapp fund--to be distributed as the directors
may deem best
Alderman Deering for the committee on
FIRE department stated that the committee had
ordered new tubes put into Machigonne steam
fire engine No. /, and in doing 1t had caused
careful examination to be made Of thesteamer's
boiler. Mr.. Beal Of the Portland Company
made the examination and found the boiler to
be in the condition of honey-comb. In some
places the probe would sink into the iron half
an inch. Mr.. Quinn also made an examina-
ton. together with the engineers and conceded
with Mr.. Beal. The committee thought it
would not be safe to replace the tubes in the
old boiler and asked authority from the board
to purchase new one.
An order was then passed authorizing the
committee on fire department to purchase
new boiler at an expense not exceeding 1900,
the same to be charged to the appropriation for
the fire department.
IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Mr.. Sawyer, from the committee on fire de-
partment, made statement similar to that OF
Alderman Deering in the upper BOARD.
Papers from the upper board were then
passed in concurrence, and the board then adj

Irish Land League.

The Irish Land League held large and
enthusiastic meeting last evening. Mr.. James
Cunningham, chairman of the O'Connor
Lecture Committee, reported that the net pro-
ceeds of the lecture were $17S, which in ac-
cordance with the directions of Mr.. O'Connor
were sent to the United States National Bank
in New York to be credited to the O'Connor
lecture fund. Mr.. Thomas F. Sheehan, dele
gate of the League to the Chicago convention,
gave graphic and interesting account Of the
proceedings Of the convention, and in con-
clusion he said that the wisdom of the No
Rent manifesto was now evident 1t was be-
ing implicitly followed by the large majority
of the Irish peasants and would bring the
landlords to their knees. In the not far dis
tant future it would by its doctrine of passive
resistance drive landlordism root and branch
out of ireland. Mr.. Sheehan said that in this
supreme hour of Ireland's trial it was the
duty of all true lovers of the Irish people to
strengthen their hearts and hold up their
hands. Mr.. John M. Todd read some very in
teresting extracts upon the Irish land question
The following resolution introduced by james
Cunningham was unanimously adopted
RESOLVED, That a committee of ton be APP
pointed to devise ways and means to collect
our proportional part of the $4,000 which the
Chicago convention pledged itself to send TO
Ireland and that the committee be empowered
to cooperate with similar committees from
other organizations.
The following committee was appointed
James Cunningham, T. F. Sheehan, Geo.
Kelley, Peter O'Connor, Chas. Mccarthy, Jr.'
Daniel Mannix, James Comedian, VIM Nc
Aleney, Frederick Hartnett, Cornelius Con-
Eolly.
Geo. Keely subscribed $40.

A centenarian,s Birthday.

Mrs. Deshon a sketch of whose life was pub
lished on her Tooth birthday in the PRESS, and
who resides with her daughter on Newbury
street, was one hundred and three years old
yesterday. A large number Of her friends and
aged acquaintance visited her. The old lady
bears her years remarkably we'll, although
since her one hundredth birthday she has fall
ed cons iderably. Then she was able to be
about, and even to take care of her roou, but
row she is confined to her bed by paralysis of
the lower limbs. She is wasted to some extent
but her eye is still bright, and smile comes
readily to her face when remarks are made to
her She lies quietly, moving her hands occa-
sionally to convey to her mouth bits of lozenge
Of which she appears to be fond. Her daught-
or talks to her and she hearswithout difficulty.
She asks many questions and takes notice of
all that is going on about her. Her eyesight is
as good as it was when she was sixteenlyears Of
age. She does not sleep well, her daughter
says and invariably wakes early in the morn
ing, according to the habits of her past life,
she having been a cook for the past twenty
five years. She received many presents of
useful nature, but no one need abstain from
helping the old lady who needs assistance.

ROas-HanlOU.

In conversation with reporter in reference
to the Hanlan-Ross race Wallace Ross said
that he wishes Hanlan to name the date at
once so that the race shall come off before the
Goth of june He also makes three distinct
propositions to the Toronto oarsman, which
he hopes will receive immediate attention. He
will row Hanlan for $1,000 side, the original
amount, and will give Hanlan $500 for the
privilege of naming the place, promising, in
the event of Hanlan's agreement, to name St.
John, or he will row on Lake Maranocook'
same stakes, the winner to take the railway
receipts, or the receipts to be evenly divided;
or he will enter into sweepstakes with Hanlan
or Boyd to row on the Thames for 5000 side
and the Sportsman challenge cup, each man
to pay his own expenses and the race to come
off in March or April.

Neglect cold, and severe suffering is the result
Some say, "Don't use medicine, and it will soon
wear away That may bring about the desired re-
suit in some: but very few have sufficient physical
strength to throw off cold without the aid
of some good balsam, and we should certainly rec
ommend something of the kind. One of tie best
ever introduced to the public is DIR. Graves Balsam
Of Wild Cherry and Tar, a preparation long known
for the speedy and certain relief of coughs, colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, &C. The pecu-
liar combination of wild cherry and tar with other
pleasant and soothing ingredients makes 1t easy to
take speedy relieve, and to give satisfaction.
Physicians prescribe wild cherry and tar as reme-
dies for pulmonary affections. and If you give DR..

The New Druggists.

The new firm of druggists just established at
the we'll known and favorite stand on the cor
ner of Congress and Prebie streets, formerly
occupied by F. T. Meaher & Co., is a promis-
ing candidate for public favor. Messrs. Guppy
and Kinsman are practical pharmaceutists of
established repute and business capacity, and
the junior member, Mr.. Alden, has hosts Of
friends in Portland. The firm will doubtless
succeed in soon gathering large circle of pat
