Mrs. Setzer prizes it very highly. It was brought to this country by Mr. Frederick Rider, who was Mrs. Moore's father. At Mr. Win. ' rifiith"s there met last Thursday night, four sisters w ho form a remarkable group, says the Mt. Airy News. They were Mrs. Cook, aged eighty years; Mrs. Mar tha Owyn, seventy-three yars old; Mrs. Sallie Boyd, of Carroll county, Va., aged seventy-one, and' Mrs. Charity Griffith, aged sixty years. All the old ladies are still strong and active ond able to go wherever they desire. According to the Alamance ( 'lean er, a short while ago a lady pur chased some eggs at a store in that county. Among the lot were three guinea eggs. The eggs were stored in the cook room. The next day one of tho eg''s had yielded a young gui nea and the other two were "pipped," and they also hatched. The merchant now has the young guineas (except one caught by a cat) and they are thriving. The same paper gets off the follow ing: James A. Foust, son of Mr. T. C. Foust. south of this place, a few days ago, found a hawk's nest and laid plans to capture the bird of prey, lie set two steel traps in the nest and the result was that he caught five grown hawks, one snake and ont' 'possum in five or six days. ' He has found another nest and in the i same waj' proposes to take in the oc cupants. James is a public benefac tor. As the Concord Standard has it, Thomas Suther, a Cabarrus county man, lives literally under lus own roof tree. A walnut tree grows right through his kitchen and sends its branches and leaves over the roof. Some years ago a fine young walnut tree grew in Suther's yard. lie de cided to make an extension to his house. Rather than cut the tree down he extended the house over the tree and now in his kitchen there is the trunk of a walnut, and a live walnut, too. Within the past month three boys have boon killed by boys in North Carolina. The first case was just about a month ago, when a boy edi tor in Richmond county killed a col ored boy. In the same county, only a week ago. a white bov killed a col-1 ored boy, and in the adjoining county of Moore, Friday night, a colored boy killed a white boy. We do not recall a parallel for and of these cas es occurring within the State within a dozen years, and there may not be such another occurrence in another dozen years, pertinently remarks the Charlotte Observer.

Our farmers are KOH1" oe m a bad tlx next winter. They wont have any nubbins to feed 1 lie steers on. I never saw sucli nZ line corn nor so much of it. . I never saw such fine cotton nor so much of it. Our farmers made a fine crop of wheat and oats, and they will make a bi crop of sweet potatoes. The gardens are-fine, the cattle are fat, and tho chickens are juicy. A kind provi dence and diligent work beats the Alliance and all its signs and grips and passwords and resolutions. I see that some farmers in South Car olina have recently passed a resolu tion that they will not sell their cot ton seed for less than "JO cents a bushel. If they mean by that to put them back in the land, it is good, but if they mean to force the market price, it is as foolish as our State Alliance at Macon, that a few years ago resolved that thev would hold their cotton until it brought 12 cents a pound. Put farmers gener ally have quit such foolishness and have fallen back on hard work. They had some fun, and a few of their lead ers got into office, but the masses never got tnetr lianas m tne suu treasury nor their cotton and grain in the government warehouses.

T hoydeeJare the Roman Catholic priests to be libertines and the con I vents bagnios, and the editor of the Duluth paper boldly charges that the cells in the basement of the convent in Duluth were built to imnrison the nuns who refused to submit them- selves to the priests. The Duluth . ., .. .. . paper says that the assertions that the Shermans wgre Roman Catholics is an infamous, slanderous lie, and that if Rosecrans, McClollan and McDowell and McCIennard were Ro man Catholics they were utter fail ures as commanders; that out of the 144,000 Catholic Irishmen in the Union army, over 100,000 of them deserted, and that it was Roman Catholic influence that caused the j assassination of Lincoln and Gar Held. They are awful mad with Mr. Cleveland for attending high mass on the deatli of Carnot. and denounce the Pope for sending old Jeff Davis his apostolic blessing. The anathe mas in these papers are fearful, and I don't see how they can keep up the lick. Rut what excuse can the people of the South have for this persecution of the Roman Catholics?

This is ahout the sum of their offending, and for this they are "not to hold office nor to be em ployed in any capacity if a Protestant can be obtained to do the work re quired."' These two things constitute the creed of the A. P. A's. Then, how can an y self-respecting Southern man join them or give them aid and comfort in any way? Jefferson said that error ceases to be dangerous when reason is left free tocombat it and there never was a time when reason was as free and as intelligent as it is now in the United States. This Republican scheme will not work in the South. Rii.i. Arc. Iiicoiisisteiicy or the Populists. V, ihiiinuton Star. The Populist convention which met in Raleigh Wednesday wasn't so much of a Populist affair after all, for it nominatedfor Judges two Re publicans and two Democrats, and contented Itself with the nomination of a Populist for State Treasurer. The nomination of the two Republi cans for Judges was doubtless the re sult of the conferences held previous to the meeting of the convention, be tween certain Populist and Republi can party managers. This means, of course, that the Republican faction which favored this fuse will support it at the polls, and this is probably an indication of further fusions on Congressional and Legislative can didates. The most notable event of the con vention was the dropping from the platform of the sub-treasury plank, one of the conditional demands upon which the party made its fight in previous campaigns, and which was laid down as a test of party fealty. The Government ownership of rail roads, etc., will go next and then about all there was in the Populist party to give it individuality will be taken out of it and there will be no special reason why it should pretend to have a living existence, unless it lives simnlv for the purpose of "de nouncing the old parties.'

Finance and Trade. Sjiecial CorreNixindence. New York, Aug. C, 1814. Business during the past week has maintained an improving tendency, in fpite of tho continued existence of unfavorable conditions. There has Ihhmi a moderate increase in the in dustrial output, and a slight enlarge ment of the distribution of manufac tured goods. " These changes, in the face of the tariff unsettlement, are significant of the low condition of stocks throughout the country, and are likely to be followed by more substantial signs of business revival as soon as the action of Congress shall afford a basis for confident trading. Gold exports have been smaller than expected; but they have reached a total of about $.'5,100,000, and the Treasury gold reserve is at the lowest point on record a little above $32,000,000. The ability of the Treasury to re coup its M.sition by a Ixrnd issue is unquestioned; and as the depletion of the reserve has been the result of exceptional business conditions like ly soon to give place to restored con fidence, the fall in the gold fund ex cites comparatively little uneasiness. Relief, predicated upon the latest Washington advices, gains ground. that an agreement on the tariff ques tion will soon be reached; and this prospect tends to increase a growing feeling of hopefulness with regard to the business outlook. Rusiness fail ures in tne United States and Cana da during the last week numbered 2(53, as against 470 during the corre sponding period last year. Cotton prices have further declined J of a cent per pound, as a result of a narrow speculative interest, ample stocks and the continuance of very favorable prospects for the growing crop. The export movement is sea sonably small; but at ruling low prices it is certain to expand rabidly as soon as considerable supplies of now cotton shall have become availa ble. There has been a fair demand from spinners, and the comparative decrease in Northern mills takings .. , 7 since neptemoer i has oeen only 137,000 bales, although the decline from 101-02 purchases has been 1571'. 000 bales. The total visible sun- ply of cotton for the world is 2.324, !:: bales, of which 1,S(,7.). bales are American, against 2, 417,."Sr bales and 2..0l.r7 bales, respectively, la.st year. Receipts of cotton during last week at all interior towns were 4,013 bales: receipts from the plantations S:S bales. Crop in sight 7.3S."),4SO bales. The corn crop situation has been the controlling factor in the grain markets. Although rain has fallen in many parts of the West, there have been continued complaints from the chief producing sections of an in sufficient supply of moisture to over come the effects of prolonged drought. The alarm about corn, j justified as it lias been in part by ac tual conditions, has been exaggerat ed for speculative effect; and prices have advanced 4"- to 5 cents per bushel. Conceding that irreparable damage has been done to corn in some parts of the West, but taking a careful survey of the whole situation, the Cincinnati Price Current reaches the conclusion that the crop yield may exceed the quantity produced last year; which would imply a pro duction closely approaching the amount reouired for the usual annual consumption. Wheat receipts at interior centres have continued large, and all advices concerning the results of winter wheat thrashing have indicated a larger yield than had been expected, Exporters have been only moderate but the strength of corn has given supjiort to the speculative market, and prices have advanced 1 cent er buslH'l. The high cost of corn rela tive to that of wheat, and the better results obtained from footling the latter cereal, are likely to encourage a larger use of wheat by stock raisers during tho coming year. There has leen a good export and home trade distribution of provisions, which, in connection with the ad vance in the grain markets, has caused a slight rise in prices of hog products in the face of an increased marketing of hogs at Western pack ing centres. Compared with figures current a week ago prices show ad vances of 3." cents ht barrel on pork, 17'. cents per 100 pounds on lard, and 7 cents per 100 pounds on short ribs. The improving tendency recently noted in the iron trade has continued. Rusiness is still on a conservative basis; but its volume is gradually in creasing and prices are well main tained on both crude and finished products.
