A STORM is NOW BREWING.
Commander Pritchard in Turbulent Wa
tiers With His Fleet.

The Pritchard skiff in the Radical re-
gatta is sailing towards the shoals. The
Russell skiff has already gone to wreck.
on the storm swept Hatteras of PIE
of which Janitor Westmoreland got
saved ten cents worth-and not the skill
of Pritchard is sailing in the direction Of
this Hatteras under stormy winds.
Duncan was slated for first male
Eastern Collector-but that was when
Grant thought he could see through his
political spyclass landing on the Sar-
.geant at Arms coast; now that is lost to
view, and he has his glasses turned on
the port of the Eastern collectorship.
Two days ago a prominent Eastern Re
publican said that Grant would surely
land i'm the port set aside for Duncan
and that there would in consequence be
a political storm down on the Beaufort
coast. Grant turned against Russell and
Russell, the first opportunity he got,
pushed him off his skiff into the already
turbulent Pritchard waters in which he
is still adrift and yelling for HELP.
Pritchard must steer his boat near e.
nough to pick him up or he will some
how manage to get his raft in front Of
Pritchard's schooner and there will be a
collision with great loss of political life.
Major Josh Hill has been practically
notified to take down his familiar pla-
card, Twill return in four years" from
the door of the marshall's office so that
all the Dockerys may be brought into
the Pritchard ship by the promotion Of
midshipman Henry G. Dockery to the
marshalship This, it is declared by a
score of Raleigh Republicans has diverted
the Hill skiff in the immediate direction
of the Raleigh postoffice. This rs an at
tempt to sail in waters open only to the
fleet of Cadet G. Thomas Bailey, so
Bailey thinks. Others think, however,
that there is ship ON this lake that has
sailed there for years and will sail again
under command of Rear Admiral Shat
fer, and a ship that can Outsail either
Bailey OF Hill. The boat that Jim
Young is trying to launch on these Raj
eigh postoffce waters, the others say,
will not get out of the dry dock.
In any event there is going to be some
collisions here with probable loss of
great cargos of political loyalty. The
coast is already lined all over the State
with wrecks and strewn with shipwreck-
ed pie-hunters mourning for relief"

HE STOLE THE BLOODHoUNDs

Sheriff Ellison, of Winsboro, S. c.,
was here Yesterday to get Henry Thomas,
a negro who is wanted in that State and
Georgia for larceny. Thomas, it seems,
was put in the workhouse at Winns-
boro for larceny several months ago. He
was so obedient and seemed so skilled and
trustworthy that he was hired as cook
when his term expired. In this capacity
he served for sometime. Then one day he
disappeared and with him nearly all the
portable property in the workhouse, in
Guiding the blood-hounds. These Thomas
took away with him to prevent their be-
ing put on his track. He turned them
loose when he got about 20 miles away
and came on to Raleigh

HORSELESS MAIL WAGONS.

New York will be greatly interested
in the horseless mail wagons which il
is announced to be the purpose of the
Post Office Department to introduce
here within a few weeks. Inasmuch
as flying machines are slow in getting
of, horselesS wagons and street cars
that run by compressed air are the
two novelties that We expect to see
next. or the two. the wagons will be
the more interesting, for we are used
to seeing street cars run without visi-
BILE motive power. whereas wagons not
drawn by beasts, though common in
Paris, and not so rare as they have
been in England, are not at all familiar
in New York. If the Post Office finds
them cheap and efficient for it's use,
their introduction for other purposes
may be expected to follow at once. 1t
was only a month ago that the electric
and steam wagons in England got the
privilege of unrestricted use of the
highways. Now word comes from
London that 10 large factories in Eng
land are at work on this class of We
hicles. and that London is likely TO
swarm with them by next spring.
American manufacturers, as was stat
ed the other day in the Weekly, ere
ready to rush into the same field, and
only wait for the hour to strike. 1t
Will strike very promptly after horse
less mail wagons are seen in success
full operation in the streets of New
Weekly.

CONTENTS OF A GIRLS POCKET

The contents of a boys pocket have
been frequently exhibited in the news
papers. One boys sister thought she
would call her mothers attention to
the stuff Tommy carried in his pocket.
She deposited on the table mixed lot,
and the family were amused. But
Tommy, so the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
narrates, captured the outside pocket
of his sisters dress, and showed its
contents to his mother. The knick-
knacks were as follows:
Three hair pins, soiled glove, piece
of chewing gum, three cards, broken
locket, elastic garter, piece of ribbon,
two slate pencils, another piece of
chewing gum, photograph, piece of or
ange skin, love letter, broken tooth
brush, more chewing gum, spool of
silk. a thimble, a piece of cotton sat
urated with white powder, one nickel,
two sour balls, gaiter heel, ivory orna-
men belonging to a parasol handle,
handkerchief perfumed with jockey
club, gaiter buttoner. withered geran-
ium leaves, ivory handle, penknife with
broken blade fan. five visiting cards,
belt buckle. box of rouge, a cigar hold
err, stolen from Charley" a piece CT
damasse silk of the pattern of Ter
friend Luey's silk dress, and slip Of
paper containing directions for hand
kerchief firtations.
Tommy placed the last article on the
table and slid from the room with a
grin of triumph.

THE BRICK INDUSTRY.

Brick makers on the Pacific Coast,
who have for some years wrestled with
hard fortune because of the low price
of their product, are now threatened
with further embarrassment. if not the
practical extinction of their industry.
by a new invention that dispenses
with clay and shortens the process Of
manufacture and improves the prod
net. San Francisco capitalists are now
engaged in erecting great works for the
production of the new brick to be made
out of sand or powdered stone. The
stone brick which it is proposed to
make is manufactured from powdered
stone, or the elements contained in
stone, such as sand, clay, etc. The
substances are mixed with a prepared
''fiux'' which acts as a bond, holding
together the particles of sand or other
material used as a filter, the whole
being thoroughly annealed by heating.
