BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION THE WIDOW OF GENERAL R. E LEE DEAD-THE FUNERAL CERE- MONIES—THE REMAINS OF GEN. HARDEE CARRIED HOME. Washington, November 8.—Intelligence li&B been received bere of tbe death of Mrs. Lee, widow of General Eobt. E. Lee, at Lex ington, Va., on Wednesday, the 6th inst. She has been an invalid for some years, and the recent death of her daughter bore heav ily npon her declining strength. Mrs. Lee was the only daughter ofi G. W. P Curtis, of Arlington, who was the young est child of John Park Curtis, a son of Mrs. Washington by her first husband, and aid- de-camp to General Washington at the Beige of Yorktown. His two youngest children, one of them the father of Mrs. Lee, were adopted by Gen. Washington. G. W. P. Custis was brought up at Mount Vernon, and remained a member of Washington’s family until the death of Mrs Washington in 1820, when he went to reside on the Arlington estate near the city, which he had inherited from his father, and where he had erected the mansion known as Arlington House. He was married in early life to Miss Mary Lee Fitzbugb, of Virginia, and left an only daughter, who became tbe wife of General Robert E. Lee. The late Mrs. Lee was a lady of exemplary conduct and manners and gentle character. She was between sixty and seventy years of age at the time of her death. Richmond, November 8.—The funeral ob sequies of Mary Custis Lee, wife of the late General Robert E. Lee, who died in Lexing ton on Thursday morning last, took place yesterday in the Memorial Chapel in that town. Her three sons, W. H. H. Lee, Custis Lee and Robert E. Lee,Jr., end her daughter, were present, besides a large concourse of frihnds. Her remains were deposited by the side of her husband’s, in the Memorial room. Mrs. Lee was 67 years of age. Business was entirely suspended in Lexington yester day, many places being draped in mourning. The obsequies were very imposing. 8buca, November 8.—'The remains of Gen. W- J. Hardee reached this city this morning, and wire met at the depot by a vast con course of citizens. Stores were closed and business was suspended, and our whole peo ple united in honoring tbo ill latnous dead. The remains were escorted by a long proces sion to his late residence. At three o’clock this evening the funeral services tooa place, and another immense procession escorted the body to church,which was packed, and with hundreds in the streets who could not get in. The service at church ended, the procession reformed and marched to the cemetery, when the body was conrignad to the tomb. All classes and conditions united to honor Hardee, and the funeral, with exception of Gen. Lee’s, was tbe largest that ever took place in Selma. Thousands were at the ceme'ary, for the people loved Hardee Selma, to day, has him in memory. Selma, November 8.—There was a spon taneous outpouring of our people to-day to re ceive the remains of Geu.*Hardee. The mil itary, fire department, municipal authorities, bar, clergy and people all did honor to the memory of tbe illuatiiouB dead. The bells were toiled during the day, and business was suspended. The funeral procession was the largest ever witnessed in this State. It was not a formality but there was a genuine grief in the demonstrations. The General's old bisck war horse, “Shiloh,” with empty saddle and his old Confederate grey coat upon it, brought tears to the eyes of many a man who had seen the loved form of the gallant dead in the fields of Carnage and amid the smoke of battle; He was buried this eve ning at 4 o’clock. The burhl ceremonies of the Jf piacopal Church were performed by the Rev. Dr. Clements. On tbe 17th day of October the United States Government paid a visit to Toledo, and bad a reception, or rather that portion of the Government represented by Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Castar went. The popular enthusiasm became very great It ran booming on a sort of tidal wave. It slipped into unwonted, yet luscious grooves. The first unusual m-nifestation was a dispo sition on the part of the little girls to kiss the eminent soldiers, The following extraordinary seene then occurred, which has engaged the pencils of all the sectorial artists in the country, and bids fair to become historic. Leslies Illus trated Paper of this week has a large illus tration of tbe spectacle. “ The crowd still poshed od, and it seemed as if there was just a slight rush on the part of the ladies to hurry up, the stairs when they heard that the pleasant pastime of kissing tbe President was a feature of the reception. It was not long before gallant Phil took another departure and astonished tbo crowd by kissing a young lady of some sixteen or eighteen summers. General Cas tar, declaring he would not be outdone, also seized and kissed the young lady, and then General Sherman began to look around for a good model He soon found one, and im printed a kiss npon her fair cheek, only to see her pass by him and kiss Generals Sheridan and Castar. The President blushed at the rashness of his young officers, bnt directly his eyes began to sparkle, and he took out bis handkerchief and wiped his month, The next real handsome young lady who made her appearance was the fortunate first “grown” lady to get a kiss from the President of the United States. The President seized her hand and pointed bis month for hers. She drew back at first, but, becoming imme diately cognizant of the great honor con ferred upon her, she yielded, and the Presi dent gave her lips a soft touch—hardly suffi cient to be called a hiss. Of coarse Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Custer saw this, and a roar of applause was the result. General Sherman declared he was as good looking as the President, gallant Phil then pleaded that he knew he was as handsomeeb General i woraa as ineu pay- Sherman.aod General Custer w*a verv cer- .5* ^ aa a PP r oached $25,000 a day.

A Good 1 hlng on Grant. New YorkTriboce, Oct 3L] The vast interests involved in the embar rassments of A. & W. Sprague and Hoyt, Spragues & Co. appear from the list of their mills, works, and manifold enterprises. Good judges say, however, that tbeir suspension would not cause tho suspension of a single bank in the State. Only three national banks —the Globe, First National and Second Na tional—and two savings banks held largely of their paper. Many merchants might go under and distressful times would certainly ensoe in' Rhode Island from the complete failure of A. & W.* Sprague. They run near 2:0,000 spindles and 28 printing ma chines in mils and print-works, and employ over 10,000 operatives Their great print works at Cranston employ 12,000 persons,and can torn oat 40,000 pieces a week. At Natick, Rhode Island, they run 70,000 spindles, and have six hundred hands; at Arctic, R. L, they run 22,000 spindles, and have 5,000 hands; at Quidnick, R.I, they have 32,000 spindles and 500 hands; at Bal tic, Conn.,83,000 spindles and 100 hands; at Central Falls, R I., 82,000 spindles, and near 500 hands; at Augusta, Me., 34,COO spindles, and 700 hands. These cotton-mills supply their print-works, with most of the print-cloths used by them, making abont 85,000 pieces a week, when running on full lime. All are now on half time. Beside their mills and print-works they run other great enterprises, both within and without the State. In Maine they have vast timber mills, saw mills, and like property, in which are employed great numbers of men during the lumbering season. In New Hampshire is more similar property of theirs. At Columbia, South Carolina, they own valuable water-power, and have a great stock ior- ward. They also own much land in Kansas and in Texas. In this city and Cranston their real estate, improved and unimproved, is great in extent and value. They control m this city the Union Railroad,, owning all street railways, employing 300 men, 5;0 horses, and 100 cars, with a capital stock of $600,000, and valuation of property about $800,000. William Sprague is President of tbe Providence and New York Steamship Company, which has tight steamers, cm- ] rloys 50u hands, and owns property valued at : Jl.oOO.OOO. This company, it is claimed, will not be embarrassed because of the Sprague’s embarrassments. Though they are the largest stockholders, they own a minority of the stock. A & W. Sprague control, in Provi dence, the Perkins Sheet-iron Company and the Rhode Island Horse-shoe Company,hav ing 300 hands when foil, now running with one-ha t their usual force on half time; tbe Phoenix Iron Foundery, Elm street machine shop, Sprague Mowing Machine Company, Comstock Stove Founderyand the American Horse Nail Company. They also own one- third of the stock of the well known Rhode Island Locomotive Works, which employ over one thousand men, and of the Nicholson File Company. Their mill property, at a low valuation, is estimated at $4,200,000, ?and their print works at $1,000,000. Their pay- and hence the young lady kissed them all one after the other. This, of course, opened an excellent opportunity for the fair belles of Toledo and tbe sunny daughters cf the rural districts to kiss the President and some of the military heroes of the late war, and they took advan tage of the opporiunity. Immediately there commenced a friendly rivalry between Gen erals Phil Sheridan and Custer to see who could get the most kisses. The gallant Phil took the lead, and for a time kissed every lady who shook hands with him—except those who were homely. General Sherman and the President joined in the fray, and at one time were considera bly ahead of the younger Generals, but we were forced to say, however, that they, like the younger generals, passed every homely lady by a simple shake of the hand. ~ Gener al Caster, whose position was on the left, made a brilliant charge, and, for ten minutes, kissed every lady that passed him. Just at this moment an old lady came along, accompanied by her daughter, a blush ing young girl abont eighteen years of age. She stopped in front of the Presi dent and shook hands with him, saying, “Mr. Grant, this is my daughter.” The Presid #pt immediately stooped down and kissed the young lady, much to the surprise of the old lady, and said, “Madam, I am very much pleased to see that you have such a handsome daughter.” The old lady was quiteastounded, but soon comprehended the situation and walked away with a smile of satisfaction on her face. The President soon began to show signs of weariness, but little Phil and Gen. Caster keptnp their friendly rivalry in kissing the ladies without any evidence of fatigue. ’ At this juncture a new element was intro duced that somewhat changed the aspect of affairs and threw a sort of wet blanket dam- rer on the oscular enthusiasm of. the rollick- ng quartette of kiss-loving soldiers. The intelligence of the reception and its peculiar favors had spread rapidly over the goodly and loyal town of Toledo. It had even reached the African part of that worthy burg, and the result was an inundation of ebony feminines to enjoy tho desirable and loyal luxury of kissing a President. In con sequence a buxom, puffing, ardent daughter of Africa, weighing several hundred pounds and presenting a pair of lips like a brace of sweet potato ridges, modestly offered for the honors of the Presidential caress. The ebony loyalist dropped into the scene like tf'pestiferious bomb. Broad grins suc ceeded the hilarious enthusiasm. The gallrot Grant incontinently fled, and the reception dosed like a punctured bubble. ■ Alas, for black loyalty and Radical consis tency. mills in Olney ville employ over 2,000 hands. On this property is an indebtedness near $4,000,000. Alabama. H«w». The regular mail - service on the Alabama River will be again instituted on the 10 th of the present month. Montgomery Advance: In twenty years Alabama will have more iron works than Pennsylvania; and Georgia more cotton mills than all New York. Selma Times: Hon. John Hardy, Mayor of this city, has appointed the 13th instant, as a day of thanksgiving for the escape of gelmairom the pestilence that has so fear- fdlly raged in other 8onthem citiee. Eight persons effected their escape from the jail at Union Springs, on Wednesday, by ripping off a plank of the inner lining, and then picking a hole through the brick waff with a file.

The first 8tate Fur held in Atlanta was a grand success in exhibition and attendance. It took in nearly ns much money as tbe fair in Macon the other day. The second fair held in Atlanta w.as not as successful. There was as good an exhibition as the first fair at Macon bat not so large an attendance. Because Macon has done brilliantly well is no reason that the claims of North Georgia in this matter should be ignored, orestab lisbed contracts violated. Atlanta has done her duty cordially and fully this year in aiding the Fair at Macon. Now let this invidious talk cease, and let Macon and her friends come up with equal gsllantry and unreserve to co operate with Atlanta in making tbe next Fair a credit to Georgia. Telegraphlo Markets; Tennessee- Major W. H. Malone, formerly of Knox ville, has assumed editorial management of the Asheville (N. C.) Expositor. The Democrats of Chattanooga have nomi nated Dr. P. D. Sims as their candidate for Mayor of that municipality. Mr. J. J. Lowery is the Democratic candidate for City Mar shal. The Knoxville Press and Herald, 7th inst says: The merchants are, of course, heavy suf ferers by the lock in freight. For six days they have received no goods and shipped none, excepting such as were absolutely re quired by the purchasers and sent by express Two car loads of express matter were sent off on the mail train yesterday. Meanwhile the stocks in some staple necessities are getting low. Candles, for instance, are scarce, and leather scarcer yet. The supply of beer, too, is getting low, and to run out of lager would be a matter of sore complaint to tbe bibulous. “ When will the railroad run ?” is a question the perplexed reporters are called upon to answer at every turn. For six days the trade of East Tennessee has been at a stand, and the noisy clamor of the engine bell un heard.

Mr. James Brown, of New York City, has f iven $300 000 to the endowment fund of the Tnion Theological Seminary. Near four thousand conversions have oc curred in East Tennessee since 1870, under the labors of Evangelists and missionaries sent oat by the Baptist Domestic Board. The news of the wreck of the steamer Agra off Colombo, has already been tele graphed to the press. The details of the dis aster are quite exciting. It appears, accord ing to the London Times of the 4th instant, that the captain; to save fuel; sought an chorage outside the port. The pilot letgo the anchor too near a well-, known rock, and the sea, tumbling in as it kcowB bow to tumble off Gaile in the south west monsoon, caused the chain cable to part, and the vessel to surge heavily on the rock. The work of destruction was rapid; those on board were startled by the metaiic sourd of the ripping Iron sides of the steamer as her hull was tom in shreds by the piercing rock. There was no time to be lost. The vessel was fast filling and to save passenger’s iuggsge was hopeless. They had barely time to escape into, the boat s, sweeping every tbtag before them,(carrying away one poor invalid sailor, and bursting open the cages and dens of an extensive menagerie on board going home for the Zoological^ardens. The escape and striking amid the waves of a crowd of tigers, elephants, eta, and their roars and screams, added to the terror, of the wretched passengers. One elephant man aged to swim ashore, as did one of the inhabi tants of the adjacent coast, who are said to be living in a state of siege, not daring to venture outside tbeir barracaded doors.” — Spurgeon in a late paper advised all Non conformist electors to vote for no Parlia mentary candidate who will not aid in the, dbestablishment of the Anglican Chinch. He concludes: “Let those who approve of ritualist mummeries pay for them themselves and have the credit of them; but to lay this synagogue of heresies at the door of us all as our own national church is abominable.” The fiftieth anniversary of the Episcopal 8eminaryof Alexandria, Va., was recently celebrated in that dty. Daring the half,cen tury of its existence, 574 persons have gradu ated from it, of whom ten became Bishops, three going to foreign dioceses, and thirty- two became foreign missionaries. Of tbe missionaries, Dr. Hill has been for forty years in Athens, Greece, and Bishop Payne thirty-three years in Africa. The annual in come of this institution is only $7,000. Rev. Dr. J.P. Newman, who is now trav eling around the world, writes from Japan to the Christian Advocate concerning the progress and prospects of Christianity in that island Empire. The Catholics, he says, have one bishop, sixteen priests and three nuns, with organized panshes in Nagasaki, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Jeddo and Ha- kodadi. They have a small college in Jeddo. The three Sisters of Charity are building a convent on the bluffs of Yokohama, and in tbe town they have a small church, over whose portal iB a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary.

Babies often cry without any apparent reason, but a mother can usually discover a reason if she stops to think about it. And it is worth stopping to think about, no matter if the bouse-work or aewiDg be delayed a while in consequence. Perhaps it has eaten something which disagrees with its stomach; perhaps it is thirsty, for little babies are often thirsty, and will drink a tea-spoonful of cold water with the greatest eagerness, and be quiet and satisfied after it. Perhaps its little sock is tied too tightly, as my baby’s was the other day. I found a deep red mark around h»T little ankle, which at once explained her fretfulneea. More likely than anything else the flannel band around its bowels—-if happi ly one id there—or its skirt-band is pinned too tightly. I know a baby who has cried a great deal since his birth. I think the chief cause of it is because he has always been dressed too tightly. The mothpr said to me one after noon, when the child was so cross she hardly knew what to do, “I’ve a great mind to un dress him and put on his night gown; heisal ways real good then.” So she did, and be com menced to be good at once. Mothers should search for all possible causes when their babies get fretfuL They should not be too ready to attribute their crying to nervous temperament or to hunger, for it is more likely to be caused by the prick of a pin or an over-fed stomacn than either.—Hearth and.

New York, November 8.—In the market for cotton on spot, there has been no relief from the general depression which has pre vailed for some time past The demand from •he^pinning interest lias been limited, owing to the dullness of trade and financial difficul ties, and their purchases have been exceed ingly limited. The receipts have been large, and, as a matter of course, added greatly to the depression. Yesterday there was a little better feelmg in trade, occasioned by the up per tendency of gold premium. Tbe market closed steadier, but it was not considered as a permanent improvement. In forward deliveries dealings have been very liberally, but the rates continued to decline until yes terday, when the steadiness in spot cotton caused a si ght reaction, and rates closed with an advance. Total sales for the week included 124,641 bales, of which 116,840 were for future delivery, and 7,691 for immediate delivery as follows: 3,2 r 8 exports; 4,180 for spinning; 128 to speculators; 75 in transit included were 385 bales to arrive.
