THE Man.

The fight over the Durham postofhce
appears to have come to an abrupt END
The numerous petitions which were being
50 generally circulated a week or ten
DAVIS ago, have been suddenly called IN,
or if not, are being passed around qui-
etlv by friends Of the more hopeful can
didates.
It is generally conceded that BLACK
WE'LL is the. man who has done more for
the town than any other m man in 1t,
| and that to him belongs whatever posi-
ton of profit or honor which is in tie
power Of Durham people TO secure for
him.
Mr.. BLACKWELL has been suffered to
20 too long unrewarded and his claims
have been too long neglected. There is
nothing which Durham could do i'll the
way of recognition which would not be
| deserved, and it is certainly time the
town did something.
However many candidates there may
be, and however eligible in every way
THE GLOBE shall insist first, last and all
the time, that BUCK BLACKWELL is the
man who should have the postoifice, and
again suggest that it would be the graceful
and proper thing for other aspirants to
get out of the field and leave he way
clear.

The most notable aftermath Of the re-
cent heated and somewhat acrimonious
contest for political supremacy in the
South, is the universal good feeling eX-
hibited by the victors to the VanQuished.
1t is an exhibition Of magnanimity worthy
of a good and brave people, and is much
to be commended.
To those honest men whose sincere
convictions differed from those enter.
tanned and expressed by a great majority
of the American people in their votes on
the Sth instant, this kindly consideration
is right and proper, however impractical
bic their views may have been.
Unfortunately for the country, there is
another class Of malcontents-secret enc
mics to law and Order-bOund in a taitor-
Gus band by iron clad Oaths and cabalistiC
mysteries to subvert the government with
reasonable anarchy. 1t is this class that
demands the prompt attention Of the
guardians Of the law. Mercy to them is a
cardinal sin, aud the official who fails to
bring the known ringleaders of this in
famous band to justice, is himself, both
morally and legally, no less guilty.
The miserable pretcxt for delay Of JUS
tice, that a prosecution would hurt the
democratic party, is d~espicable in s. sworn
officer, whose obligation was taken to the
country, and Mt TO a party. The good
of this country. must not be made sub
servient to party ends, and it wants no
officers who, from personal or political
fear, let treason and traitors stalk free
and untrammelled through the land.
Down with the North Carolina Malta
pull the poison fangs from the head, eIe
the virus IS permitted to flow longer
through political veins. Read the news
from South Carolina to-day, where a muir
derer tells in his dying confession that
he was melted to take life by this band OF
traitors, and ask yourself if mercy and
~forbearancc 10 these people would not
be a mistaken kindness.

COLONEL CoCKERILL, of the Morning
Advertiser, seems to have learned some
thing about the South recently. The
GLOBE assures him that while the
South is in the saddle" it will tear
down" at least the pension and tariff
frauds. Listen to his song: One thing
may be said of the great southern wing OF
the democratic party-it is not a coward,
The South plunged into rebellion in 1861
in defense of it's theories, and it is ready
now to tear down all that the republican
party has built up in thirty years. And
the South is in the saddle.

REUBEN ON CELEBRATIONS.

REUBEN says he has been reading the
papers a good deal this week, and the
more he thinks of the present style OF
celebrating happy events, especially a
political victory, the more he is con-
vinced Of the danger and folly Of the
whole system.
! cannot understand, he says, why,
after the battle is fought and won, we
bombs and firing cannon and filling the
air with dangerous explosives, rishing
the lives not only of ourselves but our
friends, Just for the fun of hearing the
report and letting the opposing party
know we are there.
1t was only yesterday, continues REU-
BEN, that | was reading Of a horrible &C
cident at a country school house near
Fayetteville, Ark. Enthusiastic citizens,
including many ladies and children, had
assembled in the building for the pre-,
liminaries Of a grand celebration. A
| quantity Of powder and fireworks Of all
kinds, which had been provided for the
occasion, were stored in one Of the
rooms. In some way the powder ig-
nited; the building was blown to atoms,
and a scene of horror followed. Men,
women and children were buried in the
| ruins and devOured by the flames. Such
as could extricate themselves from the
burning timbers did what they could to
save their friends, but the fire was too
fast for them, and despite their efforts to
rescue the perishing, they was compelled
to stand pOwerless and see their relatives
and neighbors either roasted alive or
crushed to death by the falling timbeTs.
Some twenty or thirty people were
either killed or injured for life, and the
county lost a school house building
which it could probably i'll afford.
And all to crafty an insane desire to
make a great noise and paint the dome of
heaven, in the mistaken idea that they
were doing something patriotic and up
holding the dignity Of the government.
Then | read in another place where a
young girl, just budding into beautiful
~womanhOod, with the world and life all
before her, was, while attending a similar
demonstration, struck IN the eye by a
burning fragment and rendered totally
blind. CARRYING with her through life
those sightless OrbS and q mutilated face,
what must be her suffering, and what the
raD,OrSa Of no Z, u.hn fNnRhol off tho
powder:
And these, remarks this homeepun
philosopher, are but two of hundreds Of
similar instances which have occurred
during the past week.
Why, it was only a little while ago,
during the state fair at Raleigh, that a
young girl had her eye put out by fire
works, and 50 it goes.
l can't see, concludes REUBEN, why i'm
plementso war should be necessary after
a victory. 1t occurs TO me that they
should only be used during the conflict.
How much more civilized and rational it
would be to celebrate our successes with
music, and flowers, and triumphal arches,
than, as at present, with irebrands and
distracting discOrds: The day will come
when the law will put a stop to the whole
barbarous practice, for when you come
to think Of it, there is really no sense nor
excuse for such business.
And REUBEN was heard TO remark, as
he reached the door, that there were
some things that made him tired.

Passing of the Earrings.

People often wonder where all the ear
rings go or have gone to. A few years ago
the fashion OF wearing these relics of bar
barism was quite general, hut now it is the
exception and not the rule to see we'll
dressed women with pair.
Indeed, the ornaments have been left of
so long that scores of women who used to
wear them could hardly do so now without
inconvenience and pain. But the pretty
toys or gems have not been thrown away or
wasted; thousands have been worked up
into other and more fashionable ornaments.
Many very handsome brooches have been
made out of earrings which have outlived
the fashion, and there has been quite large
amount of ingenuity displayed in the work
so as to do away with any suspicion of Sec
ond-hand in the reconstructed adornments.
More than one pair has been made up into
sleeve buttons aud presented to a member
of the sterner sex, and others have been
fitted with pins and used by their fair own
ers as hat or hair pins. The best judges in
these matters doubt whether earrings as
such will ever become popular again and it
is very unusual for young women nowadays
to have their ears pierced at all

A SUSPICIOUS BRIDE
Who Won Her Ranchman Husband
Through an Advertisement
ESCAPES FROM HIS PRESENCE,
She Confides in a Hotel Clerk, Who
Proves o Faithless Wretch.
SAFE AT LAST IN A POLICE STATION

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-"'For Gods sake,
any MORE" shouted a thinly-clad woman
who ran into policeman's arms at the cor
ner of Sherman and Van Buren, streets, this
morning. The woman had just jumped
from second-story window OF the Atlantic
Hotel.
A remarkable story was elected when the
woman was taken to police station, where
her husband hurriediy put in an appearance.
He gave his namesas Winfield S. Jefferson,
of Douglass county, Ore, and told the follow
ing story:
was married to this woman, whose name
was Mrs. Matte Alexander, in the Atlantic
Hotel yesterday. lam the owner Of a ranch
in Douglass county, Ore, and two years ago
inserted an advertisement in a farming
paper published in this city fol- a wife,.
He Meets His Unknown Betrothed.
The advertisement was answered by Mrs.
Alexander, living in Undertook, N. Y, the
widow of a wealthy bottle manufacturer.
We have corresponded ever since, and met
in this city by agreement to be married and
go to Oregon to live. 1 arrived in the city
last Friday, and she arrived from the East
Christmas Day. We talked the matter over
and everything was arranged satisfactorily.
we were married yesterday by Rev. MIR.
Nicholas Last night we took rooms in the
Atlantic Hotel about 10 o'clock.
At midnight 1 awoke and found my wife
missing. at once dressed went down stairs
and made inquiries of the clerk II he had
seen woman, and was told that one had
left the hotel q short time before. l went

me to go to the Harrison Street station.
did so but could get no trace of my wife,
=, 1r-,N l,4V 4,
morning learned that a woman had jumped
from a window OF the hotel, and found it
to be my wife.
Mr.. Jefferson says he believes hiss wife to
be temporarily demented and will be all
right in few days.
The Bride Is Quite Wealthy.
When the matron at the police station
searched Mrs. Jefferson she found on her
person $500 in cash aud S9,700 in certified
checks. She is about 50 years old, good
looking, weighs lao pounds and does not in
any way appear insane. She declares that
last night she became confident that the
ranchman had married her simply on
account of her money, and that she had been
duped by him. He had already borrowed
$3.50.
She confded her fears to the night clerk
and asked him to assist her in getting away
from her husband. The clerk agreed to keep
her, and gave her room in a remote part of
the house from that occupied by her hus-
band, saying he would assist her to leave
the house. Later the clerk entered her
room. As the door was locked, her only
means of escape was by jumping from the
window. The woman was badly bruised
about the feet and ankles.
Mrs Jefferson says the marriage took
place in the psrlors of the Atlantic Hotel,
and was witnessed by two men and two
women, neither of whom she knew. The
police are after the night clerk.

THE new French vrille or gimlet benga-
lines are called ondine silk in the shops.
SOME of the new goods are woven sufi-
GENTLY broad to admit of the skirt being
seamless, except for the joining in the back.
This is cut bias and is covered entirely by
heavy silE1-lined folds of the skirt, which is
purposely turned toward the back to hide
the scam.
THE house gown continues to be after the
style of the Empire, with a very high belt
arranged either in ribbon fashion or with
huge rosette concealing its fastenings. The
neck is cut out so that the throat shows, but
the sleeves are invariably long; these, of
course NAV be as fanciful as possible, but
I do not advise a very full sleeve If ones
shoulders are decidedly broad.

FEARS OF A BIG FLOOD.

The Sacramento River Foot Higher
Than Ever Before and Still Rising-A
Landmark Washed Awsy-The Levees
All Under a Severe Strain.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec 28.-[Special.
Fears are entertained of flood along the
Sacramento rlver, as the river has reached
a height of 27K feet, being nearly foot
higher than ever before. The raising of
the levee at Sacramento saves the State
Capital from bad flood.
From several points above Sacramento
the water is reported as pouring over the
embankment, but no break has yet oc-
Cured. The river is steadily rising, how
ever A break is sure to come. The val
lev above Sacramento for 80 miles each
way is as fiat as barn floor, and in many
places below the river level. The washing
of hydraulic mining debris into the river
raised its bed so that an extensive levee had
to be built to protect the lowlands.
This valley comprises the richest land in
California, the black loan yielding enor-
nous crops of wheat, vegetables and fruits
There has been no disastrous flood for IL
years In 1880 the whole valley was con-
verted into an inland sea Last year one
Ievee broke Just below Sacramento and
much damage was done.
When the Eastern overland express was
crossing the trestle over the American river
bottoms this morning, three miles west Of
Sacramento, it was noticed that the timbers
sagged and the train was sent back. 1t was
then ascertained that the swift water had
washed out a number of piles The passen-
gers walked across the trestIes on planks,
but no mail matter was removed.
Reports from all quarters of the State
show that the rainfall has been unusually
heavy. One old landmark was destroyed
by the southwest gale. This was the
Russian fort, built just above the mouth of
Russian river, in 1872. and called Fort
Reoss.. The roof of the Russian church,
built at the same place'in the same year,
was carried away.

of Bill Dalton, brother of the noted Dalton
