(People over the Yadkin seem to be a little cautious about buying beeves from strangers. A correspondent of the Salem Press of last week says a man led a beef around ovtr Korsylhe and Davidson, for tlirne weeks trying tn sell it, and at last accounts had not succeed ed in working it off. The Davie Times says its county has ceased to hope for anything from the Richmond & Danville Railroad, and it asks tho Baltimore, Ciucinuau and Western Railroad, which has projected a line from Charleston, YV. Va., to Wudasboro, N, C , to Davie on its route.

North Carolina has heretofore been the chief souroc of sup ply, Tbc mines here have been worked since tbo days when the Indians were the only occupants of the laud. They still lichly reward those who work tbem. Two colored men in Washington City got into a theological dispute on Sunday night after returning from church, and it resulted in some serious "apostolic knocks." Ono backed the other with a razor and was then knockod iu the head in turn with an axe, having his akull broken. The litter will probably die. Gray and Gallagher are their names. Moral: do rot talk theology unlets you can do it in love and know what you are talking about. 77/f HUMSKHS OUTLOOK. It is pleasant to note glimpses of blue .ky in the business horizon. The air seems to be getting more oxygen in it and men breathe more freely and look more cheerful. This seems to be gen erally conceded in the great commer cial centres of the North where, if the revival does not actually originate, the first symplons of its appearance are al ways to be looked for. And then in the nature of things better times must be at hand. Already the stringency and stagnation have beeu of uuusual duration, and the time has come for >!■» laws of alternation and periodicity to assert themselves in a change. Be sides, with the exoeption of a short crop of wheat this year and of cotton irv-.t year, the former of which vit! be more man compensated by the excess in oth er cereals and the latter by the unex ampled product of citton this year, wo have had fine crops for year;, while the commercial exchanges, between this and foreign countiies have been vastly in our favor, and there is no really ex cuse for dull times. Money too is abundant to redundancy, lusomuch that its owners do not know what to do with it and leave it piled up :n bank. Tbe New York banks alone are said now to bo|d seventy millions of idle capital. This eannot continue. Moucy abhors inaction aa nature does a vacum. It is ita nature to oirculate, and tbo nature af ita owners to keep it moving, for so ooly does it increase and multiply. With plentiful money and plentiful harvests and plentiful commerce, what eaa binder tbe return of business pros perity. Maeon couuty boast of a citizen who has reached the almost incredible ago of 119 years. Robert Gibson was born in Randolph county. N. C., in 1707, aud consequently was nearly ten years of age when the Declaration of Inde pendence was signed. The South will bo glad if Mr. Bay ard .should provide for Mr. Keiley in ; the State Department, of which ruiuor says there i* good prospect. The growing nee crop of South Car olina and Georgia is reported most promising. These two States, it is es timated, will make a million bnshrls. ' * — —»«»- ■ . i.

Owing to Democratic apathy the Re publicans have elected six men to the Legislature in Kentucky, but as the Deuioeiats liavo about 1 (0 members, they still have a good working majori tv. Johnny Wise thinks it is a pity that Wade Hampton and snob men v.ere uot killed in the war We suspect that sonic of Henry A. Wise's friends have nad tho t-ainu regrets concerning the blowing son. horn# of the Republican papers are > warning the people against the influence I t the South in our national polities. | This is sheer nonsense. That old anta- j gonisrn is long lived. It is wriukled with age and as expressionless as idiocy. • The sooner it gets well underground i the better. ! We do not fear the influence of the r South half so much as that of ccrtaiu i disappointed politicans who had to bike - their hands out of the tieuiury before I they had stolcu the last dollar.

Among the thousands of troops par ticipating in the funeral procession of y General Grant, the New York papers, y as fur as we have seen, have uiado spo il eial complimentary uicntiou byname of c only one single company in the line, and h that was the Danville Grays. The New c Yoik World in describing the march of s the procession up Broadway : y "Through silent fields of people the r procession passed. There was no ap y plause and none of those called out re v marks so common to piocessions here, j Every hat was instinotively raised as' the black catafalque floated by. That was the only recognition paid tho parade. c As the Danville Grays and the two regiments from V irginia swept by the corner of Thirteenth street the great crowd for one moment was startled into involuntary applause at their steady : step and soldieily bearing, but the next moment they recalled the circumstances and were silent." An Editor'* Fureuell Hon Robt. L.
