In view of tho objections to the overhead electric system for of cars on surface roads in cities, the annoyance from tearing up streets and the cost of plant and maintenance of the cable lines, the expense of horsepower with the sanitary evils resulting from the lo- cation of stables in populous cities, tho fact that pneumatic motors after a successful demonstration of their superiority have been largely overlooked seems inexplicable. These motors not only are entirely free from tho objectionable features of the systems, but they furnish a mode of propulsion which is more safe and more economical than any other with equal velocity of transit These assertions are advised- and are based on actual demon- In and 1879 five motors were run for several months on the Second avenue rail- road New York with perfect The position taken by tho officers of horse railroad companies, both in New York and Philadelphia, was that any car running along city streets without horses in front would frighten horses, cause run- away accidents and subject com- to suits for damages. This objection of course applies with much greater force to the cable and trolley systems, which are by a loud, humming noise, while the pneumatic motor can have a noiseless exhaust. But no or explanation availed in the face of this senseless objection. One railroad president declared that if the motor were adopted by his company it world necessary to kill some of his old horses, stuff the skins and mount a pair of thorn on a low truck front of each car. Con- existing now seem favorable for the introduction of a motor which, free from tho objections to all other systems, with no new de- of its own, may be considered perfect. No fears are now enter- that a ear running without horses in front will make of till on the streets and this in 1879 was the only reason urged in opposition to tho in- of the pneumatic motor. The system would particularly adapted to suburban localities and afford better facilities for rapid transit than are now afforded by elevated roads, for while tho speed would be equal to twenty miles or more per hour tho stops need not limited to stations, but could be made any With the small class of motors three cars, or two in addition to tho motor, can ascend grades as steep as any usually found on horse rail- roads. This is a point of the great- est value for public It will enable a company to all its old cars and supply additional ears at the boors when the rush of travel requires them without expense for power or conduct- ors. The pneumatic motor he peculiarly adapted to underground reads, as the escape of pure air would assist the ventilation, but it is the best possible for all urban or suburban roads, whether elevated, surface or in Magazine.

This led to from the management of the New Agricultural Society and from other organizations to deliver addresses, several of which be accepted. They gave equal satisfaction and gave to Gov.

One of the most notable floats in trades parade last Wednesday night was that of Dr. D. Harmon, the public spirited and able optician, so well known to the people of Wilmington and to all North Carolina. It was fourteen feet in length and twelve feet in height and was tastefully decorated with Nation- Hags and red, white and blue buntings. On a in large letters was the legend, D. S. Optician and the float was fully lighted lanterns and Japanese lights at the top and sides. So far as real value goes, there was doubtless no float in the parade that could equal it. as the dais was an of wonderful and valuable in- were both rare and at- tractive as well. On the front of the dais operating chairs in which sat two of the doctor's and next to them was an invented in Paris in 1880. It was on a beautiful oak table with an elevating that lated the top of the table to suit the height of the person. This table was invented by Dr. Harmon since his in and was built by Messrs. Bailey. The next was a line plated instrument four and a half feet high, with a large wheel on top. used for examining rays of light. This was invented by Dr. Harmon and it required twelve years in which to perfect it. II was built in North Caro- and is used for the eye. There was still another instrument on the float, one invented by Dr. Harmon at San Francisco in 1883. and to which he gave the name of It is a very wonderful instrument and is used for each eye separate or together as desired. There was even another instrument which was invented by Dr. Harmon in Wilmington late as September 12th, to be used for examining or weakness of the sight. There was also on the float a very little but important instrument, invented in Paris, and used for examining Its companion was an oculist trial case, imported, and used in examining the eye. On the rear of the dais were two more operating chairs in which sat another patient and an attendant. Thus was made up the float of Dr. Harmon and it was quite creditable to this eminent specialist. He is a new- comer in our midst but he is public liberal and progressive, and we are glad to know that he is meeting up with the success he so richly deserves. He is a conscientious and painstaking professional and his work in his line is almost universally satisfactory. knows what he is doing, and thoroughly equipped with ability and in- he has the confidence of the public and will continue to be at the hi ad of his profession. Wilmington Messenger, Dec. 4th. for middling with indications of a weaker market to-morrow. Plantation prices are higher than ever n with export prices, which shows either a narrow margin in market- or a holding for future advance. During the entire week the cotton market been exceedingly nervous and excited and overshadowed by the Hatch Anti-Option bill now pending in the U. S. Senate. The advance of the past two days is due to the delayed action on the Anti-Option bill and the growth of the belief in a short crop. It is stated that estimate of the crop of this season is 0.500,000.

As a family medicine for general use I consider Mrs. Joe Person's ahead of anything I have ever seen; we try it for everything, on man and and like a good friend, it is always ready to help us. I was a frequent sufferer from severe attacks of colic; at such times I would take a big dose, a wine- glass and a half full, always gave me immediate relief, and its continued u-e has entirely cured me of the trouble. Being a farmer I frequently have dents among my stock. On one I poured some of the Wash on a hog which bad been badly bitten torn by dogs, and the places were alive with min; as soon as the Wash touched the affected parts the vermin would leave, and there was no further trouble, have saved twp head of stock by an application of the Wash, and, unlike other things usually used, it is perfectly painless. I think ail farmers who own stock should try this great remedy in such cases; it is worth its weight in gold. If all knew the worth of your Remedy and Wash, I do not think you could ply the demand.
