Wages COMPANY ‘H.” Crack Company of the State Guard. The Pitt county Rifles were out on drill Friday evening and made a neat appearance. There were 31 in line and their new sults cut quite a figure. The Rifles will compare favorably with any company in the State Guard. A drummer in froot of the King House said he had seen a goodly pumber of the com- panies inthe State on drill and had. seen none that could down this one.. Capt. Smith takes great pride in his company and the men love him. A little in- cident happened in sham battle, at Morehead, the Captain will par- don us for alluding to, which will show how the boys will stand by him. The Rifles were advan-— cing on a little knoll, behind which the Wilmington Light infintry was stationed. Just as the Rifles reached it the Wil- mington company arose and ad- vanced, which somewhat startled and surprised ouc boys, buat the shrill voice of Capt. Smith was heard “Stand together men don’t move an inch, Pitt county forever,” and every man, from Coot Which- ard to Claude Joyner, made a bold front and the other com- Papy scattered. Notwithstanding the recent Legislature cut down the appropriation fiom $250 to $150, the military spirit seems to be grewing, and the psople are determined that the State Guard shall not suffer. There are thirty companies in the State and there are On file thirty two applications for the formulation of other com— panies at various towns. The County Commissioners recently appropriated $75 to the Rifles. We wish they had made it $200- Wilson county last week gave the WilsonLight Infanty $200. A mili- tary company is a protection toany community and when jou need the service of a company you need it then und nothing else will answer. We want to throw out a bint.

J., July 16.—A frightful accident ter- minated the Elks festivities at the Inlet Casino to-night, in which a large number of per sous sustained terrible injuries from which some will die. It was at 9:30 o’elock when the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Buffalo body, Meade D. De- twiler, of Harrisourg, had fin~ ished his address at the opening of the serial session of the Elks and was about tov introduce J. G. Armstrong, of New York, when a crashing sound was heard. A moment later the floor, upon which there were almost a thousand peonle slow ly opened, and the mass of hu- manity was precipitated to the first floor, a distance of twen~ ty-five feet. Men, Women and cnildren were plunged into the hole and upon que another. The cries, shricks, and gruans were defendiug, aud the direst con- fusion. An alarm was imme-— distely sent out, and allthe phy- sicians in town responded. The work of extracting the injared proceeded rapidly, and by 12 o'clock .they had all been re- moved to the hospitals of their not cursed ith a highly penny, hotels. -}Jobn R.

Grant Kina. a wn] THE REAL ARTICLE. An Actual Sea-Serpent Captured and Landed. Autherities at the Smithsonian Institute Rave Seen but One Other Member of the Same Variety in the Sinmy Tribe. Down on T wharf, in the shop of is what the fishermen firmly believe to be the only original sea serpent—taat is, those of them who hazard any cun- jecture on the subject at all, for most of them simply shake their heads and wonder in silence, says the Boston Transcript. It was brought in by the schooner Mary Cabral and has since been reposing in w tub of water in Mr. Neal's loft. It is about five and one-half feet iong, with a round, snakelike body, surmounted for its whole length by @ fin eight inches in height. It has an enormous tail, which. itis thought would pive it almost any speed. But its chief beauty is its mouth. It would kill a pie-eater with envy. The jaws are about seven inches long and the extent to which the mouth can be opened is limited ‘only by the amount of room there isin which toopen it. There are three rows of teeth, the first being about an inch long, and different from any teeth which any of the -fishermen have ever seen. They are not saw- 2dged, like a man-eating shark's, or pointed, like a sand shark’s, but are flat aud blade-like, very sharp at the point, almost translucent and slight- ly flexible. The creature was taken on a trawl on Le Have Bank, and made a desperate fight. before it could be got into the dory. The man who.took it] couch said thatit came to the top of the water with its fin erect and ‘its is respotsi ble; To don unction with the tropical imagination of the svin- mer-hotel proprietor, for m@t of sea-serpent stories. There are the oft described mane, the big mouth and the large, glaring eyes. As to size, anyone who-has seen a fish jumpon a line and then seen how mueb smaller that sume fish looked after he had been hauled in, knows: how deceptive the size of a fish in the water is. ‘‘Tf you should see him traveling on the top of the water,’’ said Mr. Neal, ‘‘with his mouth open and about a third of his length out of water, and coming straight for you, you’d be ~eady to swear that he was one hun- tred feet long when you got ashore.” Mr. Neal says he has the highest authority in the country for stating that this is an entirely new kind of animal. Another of the same kind, Sut only about three feet long, was taken about two vears ago, and drawings and a description were sent to the Smithsonian institute at Washington. These were ex- amined and word was sent back that nothing of the kind had ever been seen there before: Drawings of this one have also been sent. Wear and Tear. Briggs—It’s a great thing to be rich.

The Saving of Our ‘Grand ola Flag "at Fredericksburg. From time immemorial the armies of every warlike people have set the highest value upon the standards they bore to battle. To guard one’s own flag against canture is the pride, to capture the flag of one’s enemy the ambition, of every valiant soldier. In consequence, in every war between peoples of good military record, feats of daring performed by color bearers are honorably common. The civil war was full of such inci- dents. Out of very many, two or three stand as especially note- worthy. One occurred at Fredericksburg on the day when half the brigades of Meagher and Caldwell lay on the bloody slope leading up to the con- federate intrenchments. Among the assaulting regiments was the Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost 186 cut of 300 men who made the chacge. The survivors fell back sullenly behind the fence, within easy range of the confederate rifle pits. Just before reaching it the last of the color guard was shot and the flag fell in the open. A Capt. Purdy instantly ran out tocaptureit, and as he reached it was shot through the heart; another captain, Murray, made the same attempt and was also killed, and so was a third, Moore. Several private soldiers met a like fate. Thev were all killed close to the flag, and their dead ‘bodies fell across one another. Taking advantage of this breast- works, Lieut. Nettleton crawled from bebind the fence to the colors, and bore back the blood-won tropby.—Harper’s Ro1nd Tavle. cc te meet Helen Keller.
