The native music of Mexico is beautiful in
its harmony and movement. The favorite
instruments are the bandolin and an instru-
ment called the 'salterio" The dance OF the
Mexicans is a mixture of the Indian step and
the European jig.
On the whole, this and similar exhibitions,
ii honestly produced, will, in an educational
way, be of great service to the public and

Decline of cheap Literature.

A gentleman in the book business holds the
opinion that cheap literature and cheap pub
lications are ON the decline. He thinks that
the country has been glutted with the ten

for the next few years will be for higher
priced books. There is vast food of novels

A fire in the business portion of Whining
ton N. c., yesterday afternoon caused loss
which will probably exceed one million
dollars. The fire originated on the river
steamer Baden, cotton laden, which set
fire to the wharf and sheds of the Clyde
Line OF steamers A high wind was blow
ing at the time, and the flames spread rap
idly, sweeping away the business houses on
Water street for three blocks, and many
valuable residences on Front and Second
streets. Among the buildings destroyed
were the First Methodist Church, the Offices
of the Atlantic Coast Line, the freight de.
pots of the Wilmington, Columbia, Augusta
and Wilmington and Weldon Railroads, the
Champion Compress, and two large grain
mills and a saw. mill. The steamer River
Queen and The schooner Holmes were also
burned.

The Congo.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-President Cleve-
land few days ago received a letter from
King Leopold, Of Belgium, informing his e1.
cellency that the possessions of the 1nterna-
tonal Association of the Congo will here
after form the Independent State of the
Congo, and that he (Leopold) has become
the chief of the new state, with the title of
sovereign. He concludes by expressing his
gratefulness at the high esteem and inviol-
able friendship which exists between Bel
GUM and the United States. President
Cleveland has cabled suitable reply, ex-
pressing his lively interest in the vast do
main now under King Leopold's rule, con-
graduates his majesty upon his accession to
the new title, and predicts prosperity for
the new state.

meant in earnest, we can inform the Legis-
laturo that they will waste their time and
breath in discussing such rubbish. If the
bondholders would not fund when every

THE MAHoNEITEs have always said that
their friends in Congress, the radical repuo
licans, were in favor of helping the South to
educate her negroes with national aid, and
were unanimous in their support of the
Blair educational bill, giving such aid.
But to show that this, like most of their
other assertions, was grcundess, it IS only
necessary to note that both Senators Plumb
and Ingalls,, the staunchest of General Ma
homes allies in the Senate, are opposed to
the Blair bill, and that Senator Ingalls,, in
his speech against it, said:
"The north, the northwest and the west
did not want the bill On the contrary, they
spurned it, The bill was essentially dis.
honest, and the States that would take the
money under it were actuated by precisely
the same spirit that would pick pocket or
rob graveyard. It was an act of grand
larceny on the treasury. When tho States
of the South asked for this money on the
basis of the whole number of its illiterates
above ten years old they knew, and the
whole country knew, that they were OBJ
tanning the money under false pretenses."
