It has a sort of William Penn atmosphere wheax left in its original shape, but the millin ers distort its outlines and turn and twist the widespreading brim to give it the porperly awry look of most of the picturesque hats of the season. The last in England of the monastic tithe-barns, the edifices in which the Bedweral abbots were accustomed to ither the tribute of those who owed !iem rent and service, is in process of iemolition. .It is the survivor of the two that were built at Peterborough, aad dates back to 1307. It is a long aad narrow structure with low walls and a massive oak frame supporting a singu larly beautiful roof of gray stone slates. There is not a nail in the building, stout wooden pegs being used throughout. The historic edifice was bought by a builder for $5500, and a vain endeavor was made by local antiquarians to have it pre served. But as Peterborough Cathedral had just expended $45,000 for a new sad very modern marble floor, there wa3 no money left for sentiment of that sort, icd commerce claims one more con quest of antiquity. It has not been many years, muses the New Orleans Picayune, since the export grain trade was done chiefly, if not ex clusively, through the port of New York. The Erie Canal created a water way from Lake Erie to New York, and o grain shipped in vessels from "Western lfce ports was transferred at Buffalo to canal boats, aud so brought to market to the advantage of New York. But the iy came when Canada built a ship canal asouad Niagara Falls, and so Tea sels were able to carry cargoes of grain direct from the lakes through the 8L Lawrence River to Europe without touch ia at New York at alL Than there c&zne another day when grain was floated great barges down the Mississippi &Ter for shipment to Europe, and this as done so much more cheaply than can done by any New York route as that the American metropolis is' becoming easible of the disadvantages its trade is Bering and is casting about for a rem ly that will restore its ancient prestige. Bat the remedy bids fair to be a most' Costly ohe. It is nothing less than the proposed construction of locks around Niagara Falls oa the American side, and ,hip canal from Lake Ontario to the Hudson River. The matter has been brought before Congress, and engineers made surveys and estimates of the ork required, and they ph?e the cost $100,000,000, which Congress will be ked to appropriate. The estimates for a waterway for ships, of a depth c not les3 than twenty feet.

Those of the Southern cotton planters who, a half I year ago, were anxious to bring about' a general reaucuon oi tue cotton product, in order to raise the price of the staple in j the market, have seen their object gair ed in an unpleasant way through the dest ructive forces of nature. The extent of the reduction is shown in the reports of the Department of Agri culture containing the facts gathered in all the cotton-gr awing States. The pro duct has been reduced by heavy floods in some parts of th s South, by an excessive rainfall or weatt er otherwise unfavorable in many parts, and by other causes not under the contrc 1 of the planters. There were fears last s mng that cotton would be an unprofitable crop tnu year, dui those fears have cies that have planters, j SDeen aispeiiea oy agen brought grief to many XIr.

The Republican State convention la session at Atlanta, Ga., refused to put out a State ticket. Representative W. A. Branch was re nominated by the Demotrats at Edenton, N. C.,from the first congressional district by acclamation. William J. White, who have just beeo nominated for Congress by the Republi cans of theTwenntieth Ohio district, has made a million out of chewing gum. An old colored nun and former Repub lican, J. R. Ramey, of Winston, has an nouncedhimself an independent candidate for Congress in the Eighth N. C. district. He has already opened his campign and j3 making interesting speeches. He says that he is a candidate regardless of con ventions, race or color. 'My first and principal plank," he says, "declares in favor of the Government paying all the ex-slavea wh3 were twenty-one years old when Lincoln made hii emancipation proclamation $1,000 a year eacn for services rendered during the war.' He declares that the Government justly owes this debt to the slaves and the South and that the demand is in accord with Lin coln's proclamation made in 1863. He in sists that everybody should vote for him, as he would bring piles of money to the South. With great emphasis the old colored man says: "If you give the Dem ocrats their part of the votes, the Repub licans their part, and the Third party their part, and then give me all the men on the fence, I think l ean be elected.'

A glance at the list of new enterprises organized or established in the South during the past week, shews continued activity. ; Among those mentioned by the Manufacturers'" Record in its issue of August 12, the following are the more important: A f 500, 000 sugar planting ana manufacturing company at Plaque mine, La.; a $10,000 lumber company at Arkansas City, Ark.; a $30,000 spoke manufacturing company at Union City, Tenn. ; a 300,000 bushel grain elevator at Southport, La. ; a $7,000 canning com pany at Memphis, Tenn. ; a $10,000 can nery company at Sharon, Tenn. ; a $10, 000 manufacturing company at Hender son, Ky. ; a $10,000 water works com pany at Newnan, Ga. ; a $5,000 canning company at Gardis, Miss. ; a $300,000 barb wire and nail works company at Kanawha City, W.

Clay King, who was to have been hanged Friday for the murder of David II Poston on March 15th last on a public street in this city . Unusual preesure was brought to bear upon the Governor during the past few days. Petitions signed by thousands from Tennessee and Kentucky reached the Chief Executive. Delegations from military and civic societies besieged him and the wife and daughter of the con demned man, and the wives and daugh ters of other prominent citizens made personal appeils. Senator Harris and other leading i politicians made several calls upon him, and finally succeeded in securing the desired commutation. The prisoner heard the news with but little interest. He had been indulging in stimulants of late and seemed in dicer -ent to what was transpiring. The people of Memphis are very indignant over the action of the Governor. A plan was formed to lynch Col. King, but he was spirited away to Nashville by the Sheriff. Gov. Buchanan was burned in effigy. Centennial ot Buncombe. As SEVILLE, N. C. Buncombe is s hundred years old and people have bees celebrating the centennial in great chape.
