Truth Arout Horace Greeley.— Mr. Greeley's personal participation iu the campaign lias been to his signal credit. During two hundred speeches, short and long, and for the most part sudden and im promptu, he uttered no unwise word. On the other hand, these railway Mid bal cony utterances demonstrated to the Amer ican people their author's uncommon no bility of mind and heart. Mr. Greeley, by his brief candidacy, has made a greater in tellectual and moral impression than Gen. Grant by his whole Presidency This ex hibition of magnificent common sense iu Hie candidate shows what a rare aud admi rable behavior we would get from him in the Presidential chair. ‘•Whatever hap pens iu November,” said Mr. Greeley to a few friends the other day, ‘I hope it will be said ef me that 1 hare acted my pnrt and done my duty well.” We believe that this tribute will he universal and sponta neous throughout the ranks of the I.iher al Republican and Democratic parties From the begining of the canvass until now, nigh its close, Mr. Greeley lias grown steadily in the respect of his opponents and the esteem of his friends. —Golden Age. The Wonders of Lace Making.— The manufacture of lace is carried to its highest perfection in Belgium. The finest specimens of Brussels lace is so complicat ed as to require the labor of seven persons on one piece, and each operative is em ployed at distinct features of the work. The thread used is of exquisii fineness, which is spun in dark, underground rooms, where it is sufficiently moist to prevent the thread from separating. It i so deli cate as scarcely to he seen, and the room is so arranged that all the light admitted shall fall upon the work. It is such ma terial that renders the gouuine Brussels ground so costly. On q, piece of Valenciennes, not two inches wide, from two to three hundred bobbins are sometimes used, and for the larger width as many as 800 on the same pillow. The most valuable Valenciennes is determined by the number of times the bobbins have been twisted in making the ground ; the more frequent the twists the clearer and more beautiful will he the lace. Belgium annually sells oil'this lace alone to the value of $4,000,000. Chan tilly lace is always black, and used chielly for veils and flounces. It is very fine, and is extensively worn. Mechlin lace i9 made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and other lo calities. Octogenarian Visit —On last Tues day, Dr. E. E. Jones and Dr. 11. J. Ogilby, two of the early settlers in Madison, paid a visit to Mrs. Ann Satfoid, the venerable and aged relic of tha late Judge Adam G. Safiold. Mrs. 8. came to Madison soon after her marriage in Greene county on Dec. 15th, 1812, and lived in a small house on the rear part of the lot now occupied by Dr. G. B. Kuight, But one white citi zen, Mrs. Samuel Shields now remains, who resided here when she came. Dr. Jones first lived in the country and re moved to Madison about 1814, and Dr. Ogilby came fr#m Caswell county N. C., about 1825. They reverted to days of yore and alluded to seeiug the road hands digg ing grubs iu Main street, while another associated his earliest recollection with the time when the Uncle ol one of our present merchants was clerking in a small log store-house, where now stands Mr. Oscar Thomason's elegant hiick store house. During the conversation many incidents of the past were lived over again. The old log houses, and rude tenements were torn down, and our beautiful city built during their day One of the party asked Mrs. 8. her age. when she replied, that if she lived to see her next birth day on January Bth she would be eighty years old : and Dr. Ogilby said he was in his seventy second year. Dr. Jones was re quested as to his age, when ho replied with his usual vivacity he was "too smart for that ” as he might yet “ fool some young girl." None can appreciate the interest of such a visit, except those who have witnessed one. —Madison Appeal. Cotton. —The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 7 4,146 hales, against 64,208 hales the previous week. The total receipts since September 1, 1872, are 230,155 hales, against 122,596 hales for the corresponding period of pre vious year, showing an increase of 107,- 559 bales in the present crop. The ex ports from all the port- for the week were 27,901 bales, against 3,189 bales for the same week last year. The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year are 67,189 bales, against 56,024 Dales for the same time last year. The stock at all the ports is 162,648 bales, against 116,- 385 bales for the same period in 1871. Thompson's Reporter. Oct. 15. Common Cabbixbs. —ln reply to a North Carolina subscriber, the New York Journal of Commerce repeats that limita tions of liability which from the chief part of the printed matter in hills of lading do not necessarily govern the responsibility of common carriers. An express com pany may cover its receipts with notice that were the value of the package is not named the company will not he liable for more than fifty dollars ; but if it accepts the Carriage of a package of ordinary mer chandise with no stipulated value named in the contract, it will be liable for its full value in case of miscarriage. A carrier is not liable ior delay unless neglect can be shown, and the owner cannot recover damages for detention unless he can show’ that the carrier did not show ordinary diligence. A Titusville wife placed a toy snake in her husband’s boot, and then could hardly get breakfast because of her snickering at his performance when he first discovered it. He first looked in the mirror, then went and threw his demijohn of old rye into the mill race. He drank thirteen cups of coffee at breakfast, and for several evenings afterwards astonished his chil dren by going to bed at nine o'clock each night. An employe of the rolling mills at Terre Haute, a day laborer, died in that city last Sunday night An his ef fects developed the fact that he was worth $50,000 in bank accounts, and had money loaned on various securities.
