It says that while when an Eng lishman visits America, houses arc opened to him so that he goes back de lighted with the" country and its peo ple, the average American sees nothing but the streets, park j, hotels, theatres and races. It adds that the more direct the intercourse between English and American homes the brighter will be the prospect of permanent inter-national good will, and that if the legion of travellers can study their blool rela tions of the mother country they will learn something more than from a ride in Hyde Park and a view of ths Epsom races This is cousinly. The N. Y. Herald in its financial ar ticle, which is authority, says that a re tock market markable leature oi the s w was the strength with which it faced the Reading suspension. There has been no eeri?us decline outside the coal stocks, and no failures. This may be taken as an evidence that the hard pan : in va!ue3 has been nearly rccached,and that, though T prices may wear away tomewhat more underi the attrition of a summer's dullness, no great decline is. to be feared; The Demoines, Iowa, tal$ Register complains that English houses are cut ting alkthe black walnut "of the west and exporting it to Eogland, that Ohio and Iudiana are now stripped of it,that the raid is now being made on Iowa; and if th price is not put up this val uable wood will soon be "as scarce as mahogany.

He said ttue liber ty was self direction. The 'law of Jesus tealches perfect.freedom, with God there is perfect freedom. Christianity each year casts away, some ot its errors. Bigotry fades away anl humanity is lifted up. The Crospe'i, as Jesus lived it-and taught it, can be compared to nothing so much as to the coming sum- mer, which ia rushing up everywhere, filling the brooks with gladsomeoess and the air with a great advancing flood of fragrance.

A PROMISE MADE ONLY TO BE BRQ j ,1' ' KEN. " - v'' The Democrats not only promised an early adjournment, but tney went so far as to ntme the day. YLike - all of tbtir.rfeccut promises it wiis only made to be broken. The business of Congress U not much farther advanced tban it was ten days ago. Many of the mem bers of both parties have gone home the last ten days to attend to within political matters, and th approaching Chicago convention wilr add to the number of absentees. " A House officer said last Tuesday that over seventy members had left orders to have their mail sent to their respective homes for the remainder of the season. That means tuat they ao not expect jto re turn this session. At this rate the m - a, m - m House will soon be without i quorum. The real work of the ? - ill be pre vented, and July r - -- sergeant- at-arms liuntiDg up absentees to make. a quorum to adjourn. The way the Democratic majority has dandled and fuddled along in almost everything it has attempted to do is most clearly shown in t,he attempt made to adjourn to June 1st. NO PLACE TO STOKE THE SILVER I ;. ; DOLLARS.! ' The government is, by law, compelled to coin about 20,000,000 silyer dollars each month..

Recently, the Secretary of the Treasury asked for &n appropriation to provide br the safe keeping of this mass ef ail- ver. xne democrats wiio passeu me law compelling its coinage, who fixed rry 1 a 1 j il the rate so that the dollar should con tain only about 83 cents worth of silver and who have wiled to provide any means to put their cheat of a dollar in circulation all voted solid against pro viding for the safe keeping of this money. CUB X. AST . BOAT" KACE. Wilmington people are interested in boating matters, for, if my memory serves, you have some good amateur oarsmen. In my last letter I noticed Jhe miserable farce wo were treated to, in th9 Hanlan-Courtenev race. That we might see some real skill at sculling our citizens raised a purse of $2,000 In order that Hanlan might be induced to stay and row with Riley, who is almost a first class sculler. The raee came off yesterday afternoon. The- same game was played a second time. In other words, "there was no race at all." Riley's excuse is that he broke the spring of the fooLboard of his boat at the end of the first mile, and so he was not able to make Hanlan row for even a good practice pull. -s ,-MY OWJJ OPINION IN POLITICS. By the time this letter meets the eyes of the readers of the Post, the clans of the, Republican party will have gather ed at Chicago To tell what the real result will be ia beyond the power of any living person. My own opinion is that General Grant will be nominated. The best man is John ; Siieeman. That is to say, if General Grant is not nominated, it seems to. mo that the Grant men will unite on Secretary Sherman. I have heard a good ticket mentioned. It is Edmunds for President and Win- dom of Main for Vice-President. It is a strong combination. But all this is mere speculation. We shall see what we shall see. craven cuusti Republican CONVENTION, The Republicans of Craven county met in convention at the court hcuse in Newberne, on Thursday, the 20th inst., to elect two . delegates to j attend the Congressional Convention to be held at Goldaboro on the 1st- day of July next, and also to elect delegates to attend the State Convention. - The Convention was temporarily or ganized by calling Col.

C, May 80, 1880. At a meeting of the National Memo rial Association, it was decided not to have a formal procession and parade on the- occasion of decorating the graves of the Union Dead at the National CemeVery this year. This course was determined upon for several reasons, among which are. that the Committee deem the occasion too sacred to war rant the indulgence of a noisv and boisterous demonstration, such as are usual in general parades, and that it is not an appropriate way of paying that respect and honor to the memory of the Nation's Dead for which these services were inaugurated. ! : ' " The public are respectfully invited and requested to assemble, in such a manner they mtfy choose, at the Na tional Cemetery, on east Market street, at 4 o'clock on Monday, the 31st day of Ma, where the following services will take place, which will be introduced bv : - - V; C?l.
