TAPPING THE WlKES.
Los Pinos dispatches state that the hostile
Ufces are now thoroughly frightened at the
Idea of a war with them this winter, and
express a willingness to submit to a peace
ful arbitrament of the Ute question, and
make a clean breast of everything to the
investigating commission. Ouray has made
an eloquent and telling speech, and now
stands before the world as the white man’s
friend.
A Detroit dispatch reports a series of dis
asters, the result of the recent gale. A
barge, Prairie State, has struck a reef, and
two men are missing. Another, the Lewis
"Wells, has also struck the reef and gone to
pieces, and the bodies of her Captain and a
sailor have been found, and three men we
missing. Several other vessels are either
on t'be same reef or are sunk.
Tije cotton operatives of Switzerland have
held a meeting and resolved that a protec
tive tariff was necessary to keep the Swiss
cotton industry from going to ruin.
The sale made last summer of the White
8ulphur Springs, in West Virginia, has been
refused confirmation by Judge Jackson, of
the United States District Court, at Charles
ton. The property will be sold again next
summer, and will be started at $300,000.
Sixty-five farmers have sailed in the
steamer Borussia from Great Britain for
Texas.
Intense excitement, amounting almost to
a panic, prevailed at the New York Stock
Exchange yesterday, and prices of stocks
fell rapidly from one to twenty per cent.
Jay Gould, James R. Keene, Russell Sage
and Addison Com mack are supposed to be
the leaders in the loan movement. Several
failures are anticipated, though, as yet
only one, that of Edward Livermore, 35
Broad street, has occurred. At the close of
the day confidence was restored, and stocks
again went up about fourteen per cent.
The schooner Ross Winans, from Balti
more, went ashore at Willoughby’s Spit
Thursday. The Captain reports that he
saw a three-masted schooner go down while
at anchor, and three men were probably
lost.
The investigation by the United States
inspectors into the collision between the
Champion and the Lady Octavia was re
6umed yesterday. Captain Johnston and
several seamen of the Lady Octavia were
examined, but their testimony did not differ
materially from that recently given by them
before the acting British Consul. They all
say the blame was with the officers of the
Champion.
Edward C. Palmer, late President of the
Louisiana Sayings Bank, has been again in
dieted for making false entries on the books
of thte bank for the purpose of deceiving
depositors.
The North Carolina colored people's fair
at Raleigh was a great success, and reflects
muc^jf credit on that class of the population
of the State.
Two .men, both colored, were hung yes
terday in South Carolina. One at Union
Court House for outraging a little two-year-
old girl about four months ago, the other
at Beaufort for the murder of a colored
man named Brown.
The steamship Gaelic has arrived at 8an
Franpisco, and brings late Yokohama dates,
Mpre than ninety thousand deaths have oc
curred iu Japan from cholera. It is be
lieved that the disease will abate about the
end of December, and the sanitary system
of the country is unsurpassed iu the world.
Several members of the Turkish Cabinet
have expressed strong disapproval of the
present hostile tone of the Turkish press
towards England. The Porte assures the
British Government that reforms will be
undertaken without delay.
The American Health Association at Nash
ville yesterday admitted one hundred and
fifty new members. Papers on yellow fever
and quarantine were read, as was also the
report of the committee on subjects submit
ted by the American Association relating to
quarantine, etc. President Cabell then an
nounced the advisory council. The after
noon, session was spent in discussing the
papers read in the morning. A committee
to arrange plans of operations between all
the State Boards of Health in the Union
was also appointed.
The Irish arrests continue to be the lead
ing topic of interest in Great Britain. The
London Times and the News approve the ac
tion of the government, and think it will
check a communistic movement, and the
latter thinks Charles Parnell responsible for
the condition of affairs. It thinks, however,
the government should make concessions in
order to quiet the agitation. At Glasgow
intense excitement is reported among the
Home Rulers; at Liverpool great interest
but no excitement: at Limerick considerable
dismay and concern, and at Dublin one cor
respondent reports great excitement and
another very little.
General Grant’s Tendency to Insanity.
Alluding to the report of the hereditary
tendency of the Grant family to insanity
from softening of the brain, as set forth
in the article from the San Francisco
News-Letter, which we print in another
column, the Baltimore Gazette says: “The
News-Letter is a paper of low tone and
sensational, though not partisan, and no
importance should be attached to its
utterances. It is evidently trying to ex
cite a personal sympathy for Grant by
seeming to make an insidious attack upon
his third term prospects. No Democratic
paper should give credence to such a
story nor seek lo use it as an influence in
determining the candidacy. If there be
the least truth in it the Republicans who
are near him would be the first to find
it oat. They would not dare to nomi
nate him, for such a malady would de
velop and ruin all their hopes. They
have thus the most absorbing and con
trolling interest in ascertaining the exact
truth about Grant’s cerebral condition,
and upon them may rest the responsi
bility. Democratic policy is therefore
to put no faith iu these sensational ru
mors and to proceed upon the hypothe
sis that Grant has full possession of all
his faculties and appetites.”
Where Shall It Be ?—The Boston
Post editorially urges that the next
Democratic National Convention be held
in that city. Besides the attractions of
elegant hotels, fine public buildings, the
famous Common and unsurpassed sub
urbs, the Post argues that Eastern or
Conservative ideas will bp accepted by
the coming Democratic Convention, and
it thinks this result will probably be ac
complished with greater heartiness and
completeness in an Eastern city than in
one of the great commercial cities of the
West. It is not probable, however, that
the Post's suggestion will be seriously
considered by the Democratic National
Executive Commit* ee. Should the con
▼ention be held east of the Alleghanies it
is probable Baltimore will be the place
selected.
For a wonder General Grant did not
ovate at the unveiling of the Thomas
monument in Washington on Wednes
day. He and Mrs. Grant have returned
to their home in Galena. An adoring
exchange says: “General Grant and his
wife must have been rejoiced when they
reached Galena, where they could sit by
their own fireside and shut their own
door in the face of the hand shakers.”
But times have changed with the Grants,
and in their new and elegantly furnished
Galena home they will miss the familiar
and refreshing odor of the tan yard of
former years.
The National Agricultural Society.
The committee appointed at a meeting
of the Farmers’ Club, held at their rooms
in Cooper Institute, Ne n York, on the
22d of October last, to organize a Na
tional Agricultural Society, have issued
a circular appointing Wednesday, the 10th
of December, as the day for a convention
of farmers and others interested in the
subject, to be heid at the Metropolitan
Hotel, New York. On that occasion lec
tures on practical topics relating to agri
culture will be delivered by some of the
best authorities in the country; a consti
tution and by-laws will be adopted, and
officers for the management of the soci
ety will be chosen.
The committee state that they have
met with the greatest encouragement in
their work, and have reason to believe
that the meeting in December will prove
the most important gathering in the in
terest of agriculture ever held in the
United States. On that occasion it is
designed to organize an association that
shall represent every part of the country,
and combine w»lhin its membership
every interest directly or indirectly re
lated to agriculture. Its aim is the pro
tection and advancement of the agricul
tural interests in the United States, by
practical methods, such as periodical
exhibitions of the products of the soil,
in the principal cities of the country, the
encouragement of immigration, the dis
cussion of questions relating to agricul
ture the commerce in its products,
and the collection and dissemination of
the best agricultural thought and expert
ence.
The useful results which have follow
ed similar organizations in the different
States of this country and in England
show conclusively that such a national
agricultural association will be greatly
beneficial to our people. It is commend
ed by Hon. J. T. Henderson, Commis
sioner of Agriculture of Georgia, and by
a large number of the leading men of the
country. It is a matter of very great in
terest to all sections, but more particu
larly to our farmer friends, the attention
of whom we specially direct to the pro
posed organization.
Mutual Insurance.—The Clergy
men’s Mutual Insurance League of New
York has, in the last eleven years, paid
to the heirs of deceased members the
handsome sum of $280,000, of which
over $26,000 were paid in the year end
ing in October. For the current year
the minimum amount to be paid to the
families of the League who may die is
$1,000. This plan of mutual insurance
is steadily extending in this country.
Recently there was organized in New
Orleans a branch of the order of Catholic
Knights of America, an association
formed with the design of giving moral
and material aid to members of the order
by lectures, bj T encouragement in busi
ness and assistance in obtaining employ
ment. A sum not exceeding $2,000 is
paid to the family of each member at his
death from the benefit fund. There are
five branches in Mississippi, namely: At
McComb City, Natchez, Vicksburg, Can
ton and Jackson, the first branch in the
South having been established at Mc
Comb City.
\ TnE Grant Boom in the South.—
Commenting on the absurd rumors of a
Grant boom in Georgia, the Baltimore
Gazette says, with no less truth than
point, that “this talk about Grant comes
from a lot of hungry and unprincipled
politicians who sigh because they can’
break into the juicy Federal offices. The
Southern Democrat who talks about at
taching himself to Grant is a man who
expects favors and who would sell his
country and his people for a chance to
fatten on public office without labor.
We have no patience with such frauds.
If the Southern politicians will behave
themselves the Democratic party will
elect the next President. If the party
fails it will be mainly because of the in
discreet, hungry and dissatisfied office
seekers of hat section. ”
Considerable curiosity is felt as to what
will be the course of such Republicans as
Geo. William Curtis, of Harper's Weeldy,
Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tri
bune, ex-President Woolsey, of Yale Col
lege, and others of their kind, in the now
almost certain event of Grant’s nomina
tion forathitfd term. The Tribune hasal
ready found a way out of the difficulty. It
says that the platform is everything and
the candidate nothing. But how will
the more scrupulous “Independent Re
publicans” of anti-Grant proclivities
squirm around Grantism and third term-
ism? That they will find a way there
can be no doubt, but how?
In the last two years the city of Mem
phis has buried six thousand of her peo
ple and lost nearly $8,000,000 in capital
and business, through the yellow fever
epidemics. The Appeal asserts that
filthy gutters, bad drainage and accumu
lated garbage caused all this distress and
ruin. That paper now demands all
methods of purification by fire, drainage,
fumigation, street paving and the most
rigorous enforcement of the well ascer
tained laws of health as shall insure the
city against a recurrence of the epidemic.
Otherwise, Memphis is threatened with
decay, if not extinction.
Navy Department Economy.—It has
been mentioned that. Secretary Thomp
son will, in his annual report, disclose
that there has beenasaving of $1,500,000
in the expenditure of the appropriations
for the last fiscal year, and that this ex
cess will be covered into the Treasury.
There is much gratulation in Republican
party circles over this, and of course it is
a matter for commendation. But what
becomes of the charges so freely retailed
on the stump by Republican speakers
that the Democratic House of Represen
tatives were crippling the navy by undue
reduction of the appropriations?
A Suggestion.—The New York Ex
press, a Tammany organ, suggests -that
the Democratic Congressional caucus
should choose a committee from the
Democratic National Committee, none
of whom shall belong to the State of
New York, to consider the situation of
the party in that State, and report such
a plan for its reorganization as they may
think wise under the circumstances.
The Express says it makes the sugges
tion “as a Democratic journal, pro
foundly interested in Democratic prin
ciples, and anxious for Democratic sue*
The New Cable.—It is stated in New
York that in the course of a month the
new French cable will be connected with
every important city in the United
States-; that the work of putting up
wires inland is now being prosecuted m
seven different States, and it is expected
that communication will be perfected
With Boston and Chicago in a very short
time.
A Leading Republican Idea—“The
South to be Put Down.”
“Templeton,” writing from Boston
November 6th, his letter being published
in the Hartford Courant of November
8th, in speaking of the Massachusetts
election, November 4th, said:
*‘There was not much enthusiasm
created in the canvass, but the party
thoroughly imbued with" the conviction
that there is another South to be put down,
and this brought voters back from Butler,
and brought men to the polls beside,
who are apt to be indifferent. I wrote
you that this would give the Republi
cans the majority over all the factions
this year. I could find but few men to
agree with me in this estimate of the re
suit. The vote, however, confirms it."
This, remarks the Hartford Times, :
certainly not a very pleasant idea, when
presented to reflecting men, who value
true Union, and favor a really free gov
ernment. If there is, as Templeton avers,
a party majority in Massachusetts who
are in favor of putting down the South
if there is still such sectional animosity
that a party is strengthened by
the conviction that the South must be
put down—that Massachusetts must put
her heel upon that section of the Union
and dictate her own ideas and her own
terms to that section, then indeed it
time for Union men to consider whether
this spirit and policy shall be permitted
to carry the elections and control the
government Under that idea and policy
the government would not be republican
in fact or form. We should have no
Union. But one section would be organ
izing to “put down” another section.
Local self-government would be at an
end; and the revolutions and count-
revolutions of Mexico would fall into in
significance in comparison with the con
flicts that would be certain to arise in
this country.
BY TELEGRAPH.
Commercial Statistics.
The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics,
in his annual report, states that the total
specie value of the foreign commerce of
the United States was larger than during
any previous year except 1873 and 1874.
The value of the exports of domestic
merchandise from the United States was
larger than during any previous year in
the history of the country. From 1863
to 1873 the imports exceeded the value
of the exports from $39,000,000 in 1863
to $182,000,000 in 1873. From 1876 to
1879 the value of exports has greatly ex
ceeded the imports, and this excess has
increased rapidly and constantly during
that time. The excess of the value of
exports of merchandise over the value of
imports during the last four years has
amounted to $753,000,000. The exports
of merchandise during the last ten years
have increased from $275,000,000 in 1869
to $698,000,000 in 1879. The value of
the exports of bread and breudstuffs
during each of the last two years has ex
ceeded the value of the exports of any
other commodity. During all the pre
ceding years since 1821, except during
the war, the value of the exports of raw
cotton exceeded that of any other com-
midity. From the year 1821 to the year
1860 the exports of cotton constituted
53 per cent, of the total value of exports
of merchandise, but during the last tw<
fiscal years it has only amounted to about
25 per cent.
Annual Report of the Postmaster
General.—Postmaster General Key has
completed his report for the last fiscal
year. It shows that the total expend!
tures of the Post Office Department for
the year were $33,449,899 45; total
revenues, $30,041.982 86; excess of ex
penditures,;$3,407,916 50. The revenues
were derived as follows: Ordinary re
ceipts, $29,434,648 43; receipts from
money order business, $219,226 83; from
official stamps and stamped envelopes,
$388,107 60. The amount appropriated
for the fiscal year was $33,828,470 55, so
that there remains an unexpended
balance of $755,032 93, which will be re
duced when unadjusted liabilities are
paid. The Postmaster General again re
commends the passage of a law readjust
ing the compensation of railroads for
carrying mails upon the basis of space,
speed and frequency, supplemented by
the weight of mails carried. This would
enable the department to designate every
railroad in the country by name as a rail;
way postal line.
A Simplification of Customs Laws.
—A New York letter states that the for
eign importers will make a strong effort
on the assembling of Congress to effect
an immediate simplification of the cus
toms laws (without directly touching the
tariff), with a view of removing many
serious obstructions to the transaction
of business. Rules and regulations at
the custom house so conflict that an in
telligent administration of the laws in
many cases is simply impossible, and the
result is the detention of large amounts
of imported merchandise under govern
ment lock and key until some decision
can be arrived at, the merchant mean
while losing his market. The Secretary
of the Treasury, it is stated, has promised
to use his influence to procure a thorough
revision of the rules which have pro
duced these mischiefs, and it will be
earnestly pressed by the entire New
York city delegation, backed by the
Chamber of Commerce and other" in
fluential trade bodies.
An Appeal to King Alfonso.—The
approaching marriage of King Alfonso
of Spain with the Archduchess Christine
of Austria has been taken advantage of
by the Societies for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, in Europe, to make
an endeavor to have bull fighting ex
eluded from the entertainments then to
be given. The society in Paris having
asked Mr. Henry Bergh to co-operate
with the parent societies in Europe, that
gentleman has addressed a letter to the
President of the Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals in Cadiz,
which he 6ays: “No act of his Majesty
could illustrate the benign and patriotic
spirit which should animate the sover
eign of a great nation than an effort to
extinguish in the hearts of his subjects
the instincts of cruelty, by the substitu
tion of the blessed principles of mercy
and benevolence.”
The people of Connecticut will be will
ing to see Hayden, the alleged murderer
of Mary Stannard, hanged, whether he is
guilty or not, if the trial continues much
longer. It is more than five weeks since
the trial commenced, and the expense to
the State thus far is over $50,000. This
is a pretty big price to pay for a little
information about arsenic.
It is found by adding together the vote
given respectively to Governor Robin
son, John Kelly and- the Greenback and
Temperance candidates in New York
State, that Cornell, the Republican Gov
ernor to be, is in a minority of over
seventy thousand ! This does not look
like a Governor chosen of the people.
A convention of the “National Party”
is called for January. As Rev. De

AMERICAN HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
Nashville, Tbnn., November 21.-
the morning session of the American Health
Association, a hundred and fifty new mem
bers were admitted. The following papers
were read: “Quarantine in Arkansas
1879,” bv R. G. Jennings, of Little Rock
•‘Camps and Population at Memphis in
1879,” by John F. Cameron; “Yellow Fever
in New Orleans,” by S. 8. Herron. Dr.
Holliday, of New Orleans, read the
report of the Committee on Sub
jects, submitted by the American
Association, recommending the quarantine
of vessels to prevent the importation of the
first case of yellow fever; the establishment
of quarantine hospitals by the government^
National, State and municipal; to make
provisions for the removal of unacclimated
persons and the abolition of upholstered
furniture, rugs and carpets from railroad
cars during an epidemic. The report
further shows the important results
from the incorporation of the National
Board. President Cabell then announced
the appointment of an advisory council, the
Southern members of which are Messrs.
Webb of Alabama, Cobb of Florida, Camp
bell of Georgia, Johnston of Mississippi,
Holliday of Louisiana, Clapp of Tennessee,
Joyner of Virginia, Wood of North Carolina,
Lebby of South Carolina, and Rutherford of
Texas.
The afternoon session was devoted to the
discussion of papers read in the forenoon.
President Plunkett, of the 8anitary Council
of the Mississippi Valley, appointed the fol
lowing committee to arrange plans of opera
tions between all the State Boards of Health
in the Union: Drs. Hewitt and Pinckney
Thompson of Kentucky, Griffin of Wiscon
sin, T. A. Atchison of Tennessee, Choppin
of New Orleans, and Rice of Mississippi.
THE IRISH ARRESTS.
London, November 21.—The Irish arrests
continue to be the leading topic of interest.
The Times thinks there is every reason to
believe that a timely display of firmness will
extinguish any really mischievous element
in the anti-rent agitation. The Times cor
respondents report at Glasgow intense
excitement among the Home Rulers;
Liverpool there is great interest, but no
excitement; at Limerick there is consid
erable dismay and concern ; at Dublin one
reporter says the excitement is only equalled
by that prevailing during the Fenian rising,
while another says the arrests have excited
but little interest, and the prevalent feeling
among the respectable classes who are not
committed to the agitation is one of satis
faction that 6teps have been at length taken,
though tardily, to check the communistic
movement. The Daily News'.'; doea not
blame the government. It'-thinks that
Charles Parnell is responsible for
the condition of affairs, but doiibts the pru
dence of the measures taken, and insists
that the only effectual way to quiet the
Irish agitation is to concede large measures
of reform, such as the utmost practicable
local self-government to Irish towns, coun
ties and provinces, while still maintaining
the legislative union between the two coun
tries.
THE CHAMPION COLLISION INVESTIGATION.
Philadelphia, Pa., — November 21.—The
United States inspectors resumed their in
vestigation to-day into the cause of the col
lision between the Lady Octavia and the
Champion off Delaware Capes on the 7th
instant. Captain Johnston, master of the
Lady Octavia, who was examined before
the Acting British Consul’s court and ex
onerated, was called by the United States
inspectors to-day. His testimony in chief
was the 6amc as that already * given
before the British Consul, viz.: That the
steamer ran into the sailing vessel.
that the former changed her course just
previous to the collision, and that the Lady
Oc’avia’s lights were displayed at the time.
Several members of the Lady Octavia’s
crew were also examined, but their testi
mony did not differ materially from that
given before the acting British Consul. The
court then adjourned for the day.
ADVICES FROM JAPAN.
8an Francisco,November21.—The steam
er Gaelic, from China to-day, brings the fol
lowing advices from Yokohama to the 1st
inst.: More than ninety thousand deaths
have occurred in the course of the present
cholera epidemic. The disease is expected
to disappear before the end of December.
Extraordinary precautions against its recur
rence have been taken by the government,
and it is thought the Japanese sanitary sys
tern is now unsurpassed In the world".
Professor Nordenskjold, Swedish Arctic
explorer, has been received with compli
mentary demonstrations in various parts of
the empire. He is now on his way home

LIVEBPOOL COTTON BROKERS’ CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, November 21.—This week’s
circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’
Association says: “American cotton was in
comparatively moderate demand with an
abundant supply, and quotations were re
duced. Other growths maintained full
prices. Texas cotton is 3-16d. to a farthing
lower, and other American grades %d. to
l-16d. lower. ^In sea islands, business was
small, but at extreme rates. Futures opened
excited and to 5-32d. higher, but since
then there have been very fluctuating
rates, occasionally l-32d. below those of
last Thursday.”
A DOUBLE EXECUTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Charleston, S. C., November 21.—Ed
ward Holmes, colored, was hanged at Union
Court House to-day for outraging the two-
year-old daughter of A. B. Hampton in

a large crowd of country people in town,
but the execution was private, in accordance
with the State law.
George Gary, colored, was also hanged
to-day at Beaufort for the murder of a
colored man named Brown. He was found
guilty on a second trial by a jury of ten
flacks and two whites, and before his exe
cution made a full confession.
TONE RESTORED TO THE NEW TOBK STOCK
EXCHANGE.
New York, November 21.—Towards the
close of the day a great change came over
the speculations on the Stock Exchange.
Strength and buoyancy took the place of
depression, and a sharp and material ad
vance in prices took place. Those who had
been selling In the morning had now be
come buyers, and under their purchases the
entire list advanced to fourteen per cent.
The impression gained ground that a new
upward movement bad commenced, and
final dealings were very strong in tone.
FEELING OF TURKEY TOWARDS ENGLAND.
London, November 21.—A Constantino
ple dispatch to the Times says several mem

Lieutenant 'Jeorge H. Thomas was, I
am told, a well known and warm seces
sionist in his own county before Lin
coln’s war against Virginia because of
secession, and he so continued for some
time after that war commenced, and
came to Richmond while you were
Governor and applied for a commission
in the Army of Virginia—to wit: the
office of Inspector General, as I i
told in Richmond—and you promised to
give it to him as soon as he brought his
family, then at the North, into Virginia.
Under that promise he went to the North
for his family, but never returned, and
was made a General in the Yankee army,
and to-morrow honors are to be paid to
his memory as such.
Now pardon me for saying that you
owe it to yourself, to truth and justice,
and to your native State, to say whether
these reports, which you are understood
to have sanctioned at the time, are cor
rect or not.
If you wish to know my name you
will be furnished with it immediately if
you will address a line through the Rich
mond post office to “Virginius,” or to
the editors of the Richmond Dispatch.
The country will look with interest
for the reply of ex-Gov. Letcher. If the
facts are as stated by the correspondent
of the Dispatch, they reflect no credit on
the character of the distinguished Vir
ginia soldier who contributed so largely
to the triumph of the North in the late
civil war between the States. Surely,
if he was willing and even sought to
enter the service of his native State in
that struggle, his desertion to her ene
mies cannot be justified on the ground
of patriotic convictions of duty.
Notice Served on General Grant.
—In the Cincinnati Commercial of the
16th Mr. Halstead says: “We have to
remark of this that the politicians who
are for Grant all assume that the people
are driving them. This we believe to
be a great folly and delusion. The si
lence of Grant on this subject does not
seem to us so impressive as to others.
Indeed, it is a farce that will soon be
laughed at. If Grant’s friends suppose
that he will get the nomination without
a contest the}' are foolish. Do they sup
pose Sherman and Blaine will put their
hands on their mouths and their mouths
in the dust before Grant, and that the
whole American people will bow down
m abjectness in the presence of his glory?
If General Grant is wanted for the third
term by nearly everybody but a few
politiciaus jealous of his overshadowing
prestige, and the country, needs him as
the one strong man, it would be sheer
perversity in him not to consent to hold
the office of President, or whatever we
might name it, for life. We have not
beard just now of his intense indiffer
ence to the Presidency for the first time.
He is the only man who ever esteemed it
a sacrifice to take that place.”
Seeretary Evarts made quite a jocular
speech on the occasion of the dinner
given on Monday evening to Thomas
Bay ley Potter, of England. Among
other funny things, he said the checks
and balances of the American Constitu
tion were oysters, green turtle and can
vas back ducks. Referring to the al
leged length of his. rhetorical periods,
he remarked that the only people really
opposed to long sentences were con
victed criminals.
The Richmond Whig, organ of the
Virginia Readjusters, pronounces the
story that General Mahone had offered
to pledge his party (the Readjusters) for
Grant next year, provided the Republi
cans would support him for the United
States Senate, as a “stupendous false
hood.”
Yazoo county, Mississippi, where Dixon
was killed, has elected a colored Demo
crat to the next Legislature,-and several
other counties have done likewise.
The show is gone, but its influence is
still with us. A mother on Flores street
this morning found her two sons, nine
and twelve years old, preparing to shoot
their three-year-old sister from a cannon
improvised from a flour barrel. The
boys had procured powder, which they
made into a cartridge, and the little girl
squatting patiently in the barrel awaited
with solemn fortitude the return of her
brother from the kitchen with a coal of
fire to touch off the piece of hooped ord
nance. A sheet had been swung from
the clothes line and pegged to a log of
wood to shoot the child against, and
she was swaddled in a damp coffee sack
to protect her from the flash of the pow
der, of which the cartridge contained
two ounces, and unless the little innocent
hung on a nail inside the barrel (many
of which stuck in from the hoops) it is
probable that hers would have been a
double act, embracing besides the role
of projectile the leap'through the can
vassed hoop. —New York World.

The December Number of SCRIBNER’S
MONTHLY Is now retdy, and so rapidly are
orders increasing that 1*. is thought the first
edition of 103,000 will not supply the de
mand. One cause of the recent Increase in
circulation^ shown by the fact that there
were .
100,000 Not. Nos. Sold in Two Weeks,
is undoubtedly due to the growing interest
in the two serials, Henry James, Jr.’s “Con
fidence.” which is one of his most fasci
nating character studies, and George W. j g^OjVX ACH
NOVEL OF NEW ORLEANS LIFE,
“The Grandissimes.” This latter, begun
In November, will be the leading serial story
of the year. Mr. Cable’s “Old Creole Days”
has attracted wide attention, and this, his
first novel, promises to be among the
strongest and most important works of fic
tion that have yet appeared in American
literature. The special attractions of the
December number include
Twenty Poems by American Women,
all written for this magazine, and including
verse by many of our most prominent women
writers. Among the other literary features
are an account of “Two Visits to Victor
Hugo,” by H. H. Boyesen, with a large por-
trair engraved by Cole; the continuation of
8'edmau’s critical estimate of Bayard Tay
lor’s poetry, an illustrated description of
the Johns Hopkins University, and an in
teresting paper by Burroughs on “Nature
and the Poeis.”
THE NEW CAPITOL AT ALBANY
is critically described in an article of
eighteen pages, with tbe aid or twenty-three
drawings, giving, it is thought, the first
completely illustrated description of this
building, which the author calls “the most
monumental and most honorable work of
public architecture which this country has
to show for Itself."
COFFEE CULTURE IN BRAZIL
describes from personal observation an in
dustry of world-wide interest; and the sec-
oud of E. P. Roe’s papers, “Success with
Small Fruits,” tells about “Strawberries for
Home and Market.” Both these are pro
fusely illustrated, the latter with drawings
by Gibson, Kappes and Riordan.
“The Reign of Peter the Great,'
By Eugene Schuyler, will begin in the
February number. The illustrations for the
first of this splendid series of Historical
Papers are now almost completed, and in
clude reproductions of famous Russian
paintings, cut on the wood by American en
gravers who are pronounced by the London
Saturday Review “the best in the world.”
All that enterprise and skill can do will be
done to maintain the position of Scribner
as tbe leading popular periodical of America.
Sold, and subscriptions received, by book
sellers and newsdealers, at $4 00 a year, 35
cents a number.
A Portfolio of Proof Impressions
of the best engravings from the pages of
Scribner and St. Nicholas (edition limited
to 1,000) will be ready about December 1st.

A canoe recently left Loma Loma, in
tlie Fiji Islands, with twenty-five natives
on board, bound for Toytoya. They
were going about when a sudden squall
sent the sail against the mast, capsizing
the canoe. The unfoitunate passengers
clung to the canoe, and might have es
caped with consequences no worse than
those which would have attended dis
comfort and exposure, but for the fact
that the capsize occurred in a locality
infested with sharks. These ravenous
monsters seized their victims one bv one,
devouring twenty three out of the
twenty five unfortunates whose lives
