PREftlBKNT POMPS WIDOW. A Vlalt u On* «r Ik* Mather* >» the Ratiw. Nuhvllle I attar Ut Chicago InUr-Oo*a». On one of the coxy, shady streets of Nsshville, the Boston of the south, in an old-fashioned mansion of red brink, with wide, deep windows, and a mam moth-pillared piaasa jutting out liko the bold forehead of the famous man that once lived there, Is the house of Mrs. James Knox Folk, widow of tho tenth president of the United Htetee— one of the mothers of the nation. A slender, graceful old lady, with a snow- white nockerohief and folds of onrls that lay pat on eaoh side of her brow. Hhels seventy-six years old, bnt her figure is as straight, her step as qniek and her eyes as bright as the oyes of a girl; aotivo in every benevolent scheme, generous to an extreme, hospitable no- oording to the tradition* of Kentucky hospitality, and aa oonrtly aa a qnosn. In Nashville, a few days ago, the honre was pointed out to me, and a descrip tion of the old lady given, with the remark that she liked to reoeive stran gers. Ho I thought I would pay my reapeots to tho widow of a president, and about noonday entered tho gate of "the Polk Place.’’ and went np tho long gravel walk that loads to tho honso. The yard ia laid out in the old- fashioned style, with flower-beds in dif ferent designs, borders of box and shrubs of different sorts placed at roathematioal intervals. An old-fash ioned brass knooker, like the handle of a ooflln, burnished as bright aaa mirror, asked on trance for me, and a l>ent, rickety old negro woman answered the summons. " is Mrs. Polk at homo ? ’’ " Yos, sah; will yon atop in, ash ; Missus Polk is at home, sab, bnt was just gwino out, aah, and she’s boun’ to go 'bont this time. Tako a chair, aah." Hhe led me into an old-fashioned par lor, with shells of all aorta on the man tel, and ohinix curtains with large flowery figures hung before the win dows. Ou the walla wero portraits of men in wigs and military uniforms of the old regime, and women with high powdered hair and mffloe, with a tow an tique prints and half-fadod landscapes. The furniture was heavy mahogony, and exquisitely oaived, and the carpet, half-ooverod by oanvas, was a relio of anoiont oleganoe. I was ablo only to glanoe at things for a moment after the servant left. Mrs. Polk entered, and, extending her hand cordially, aaid : " I soo yon are a stranger, sir ; bnt I am happy to soo yon, novortholoss. Pooplo call overy day to see me," said sho, laughing, " to soo how a woman lives that lived in the While nouse onoo, and I value the attention vory highly." I thanked hor, and attempted to ex* C lain and apologise for my intrusion, nt ahe tapped hor hand impatiently with hor parasol, and said : "Tho apology in on my part, sir. for I mnnt beg you to oxonno mo. I havo an appointment at thin hour it is unite imperative I should moot, or Iwonld bo pleosod to entertain yon. I pray y< will oxouso mo. and mako yonrsolf nn muoh at homo in my house and on my gronnds as if I wore boro. My servants will show yon what people generally wish to seo. They are accustomed to seoing strangers, sir ; ha I lit! quiteao oustomed to it, I assure you.” * It was something I had read about, this graooful, old-fashioned oourtesy, but I never saw bofore n real illustra tion of tho manners of tho republican oonrt. and aa I esoortod tho nimble old lady to her oarriago, she ohnttcrod away as cordially as if she was my grand mother, and insisted upon my oalliug again. Her riding dross was of the shiny silken material that wno sees at old folks' oonoorts; black, and ont long- waiated, with a plain belt of oorded rib* bon. At her nook was a white linen 'korohiof, folded with artistlo precision, and fastened with a large brooch, which oontainod a pioture of hor husband. Hor shawl was of blaok looe, foldod in the old-fashioned way. and on her hands wore "mitta"—or whatever they oall thoao silk, knit affairs that lmvun't auv fingers. As the carriage drove away I turned baok into tho yard, aud went to the tomb of tho presidont, which stands midway botweou the street and houso, at tho loft of tho walk. It 1b a plain, rectangular saroophagus, about sixteen foot in noiglit, of smooth limostono. aud inolosing a low sqnaro monumout of tho sumo stono. An effort has horn made to romovo it to tho grounds of tho state- houao, which stands not moro than six hundred yards away, but it is Mrs. Polk’s wish thnt it remain where it is, and she wants to bo buried in tho vault benouth, beside her iiUHbnud, Every yoar tho legislature of 'Tonnensoo oall upon Mis. Polk in a body, havo a brief prayer nt thoton\bof tho president, aud aro ontortaiuod for a few momenta by his widow, with tho assistanoo of a few other old-fashioned ladies that have been hor life long friends. Tho monumout is ooverod with in scriptions. Ou the side facing tho streot, in bold, sqnaro letters, is graved : JAMKH KNOX POLK, imb*r 3, 1TW.

On tho third aide, looking toward tho honso, is the following : grave of Zachary Taylor lie unmarked, and Blinola let tho nation bniM a tomb for Abraham LJnooln, when ahe should havo been jealous of the privilege. This ia noticeable in the faot that within the walls-of her aUtehonae, the most per fect, architecturally, perhaps, of any building of tho aort in the United HUtee, aro laid by act of legislature the bones of ita builder. Hog Proinets and the Parking Heaaom The season la now sufileiently ad vanced to enable the sltnation of the fntnre market for bog products to be jndged with somo intelligence. There wore 20,000,000 head of swine of all ages In the thirteen prineipal producing states on the first of laat January, so- oording to official reports. The total packing in tho went during the winter season of 1878--’74 was 5,460,2^0, against 5,410,814 during 1872-’78. Tho total packing to Jan. 1, laat winter, was *p- E roximately 4,000,000, against 8,800,000 > same date snaaon of 1872 and 73.

The state of Tennessee owns " The Hermitage,” the famous reHideuoe of Audrew Jackson, and prominent citizens told mo that whenever Mrs. Polk should die they doubted not but that her resi dence would also be purchased and kept, as the Hermitage is, sacred to the memory of its former owner. Topneshoo is grateful to the past, aud holds in roepeotful saoroduess the relics of her famous sons. Kentucky lets the is greatly rednood by tho low price of wheat. There foots evidently are those made use of by tho " boars." On tho other hand, the high prioos of "spot" and "future” oorn mako it more profit able for farmers lo ship the oorn instead of feeding it, wherever they are near a railroad. This will have a tendonoy to rush poor, light hogs to market early and givo tho opening of tho packing reason tho appearanoe of a largo orop, which will ho fallacious. Tho recent heavy reoeipts of hogs at Chicago givo ovldonoe of this tendonoy already. There is stress also laid upon tho faot that Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska shipped a largo number of hogs daring the Hnmmer and fall on aooount of the grasshopper plagne. This is trne ; bnt by oareful inspection of western market reports, it appears that thoso shipments wore largely of stock hogs, whioh did not go to market, bnt into Illinois and Iowa to food, where they now are. wait ing to ooroe forward. In this lino of arotimont, the absonceof oily surplus of old orop loft over of any staple of hog products is brought forward as evidenoe of an early snd pretty aotivo export do maml, os markots both sides nro unusu ally bare of stock. There aro tboohiof points npon whioh tho now oampaign of tho speonlators and <1 osiers in provisions will open, with tho theory of a short orop moro gener ally accepted. This theory will donbt- less influence the market at tho opening of the season ; but whethor tho argu ments nro so muoh on tho " bull" stdo as to warrant any spoonlation upon them is another question, whioh, in all proba bility, will only be answered Into in tho reason. The nigh priocs of hogs aro oertnin to bring out all that are fit for market, unless oorn gors lower, oom- polling tho fsrmors to food it. The fair supply of other kinds of food than oorn and low prioo of wheat, will all hnvo an inflnonoo against prioos, and may rend enough to market oarly to over-burdon holders of stock ; whife, from tho above frets, the later arrivals may not provo to be so poor as might othorwiso lie ox- pooled. The quality of the oorn, also, is so muoh better than usual, that iu sections away from railroads, where it will be largoly fed, tho hogs will be fat, if not large.—New York Hull din, A Mexican (Irotto. Among the recent discoveries of an cient ruins in Moxioo is that of an arti ficially executed grotto, fifteen miles from Tanoitaro, in tho atato of Miohoa- oan. Tho grotto is represented to be of immense doptli and vast extent; the re mains of walls nnd arched ooiridors are still to be seen, and many onrions spe oimens of tho handiwork of an uuknown rnoo has been brought from this ;subter- ranoan palaoe. Two oitixens of i neighboring village reoontly penetrated into tho cavernous depth of tho grotto and lost their way. Throe days and nights woro spout iu wandering through tho labyriathino passages of this won derful place before they found an out let from their strango imprisonment. Hnbsoquontto this competent persons inado a moro thorough examination of tho grotto, wlion tho faot that at aomo uuknown period in tho post it had bocn shaped by human skill, nnd walled in ou every sido by human hands, was ro- voalod. It is a dark labyrinth, nurnass- ing in extent and intricacy tho fablod ono oomdruotod by Dnulnlus.
