Mr. IJcad starts back to New York to day, Yesterday was a singular looking day, attracting general comment. The sun rose obscured by a smoky haze, and un til after 12 o'clock, hung in the heavens a cherry colored ball which could be looked upon with unflinching eye. After wards the haze thickened, until the sky was entirely obscured. It was probably the efl'set of some extensive forest con flagration off to the north v. t-bt. from which quarter the wind blew briskly ali day. The editor of the TJvIlctin, a paper pub lished for the benefit of the colored peo ple of Wilmingtoa, says "We have been aeke l if it would not pay to publish a daily paper in this city m the interest of the colored race. We answer: It would ray the race, but not the publisher, for the raes would not pay for it. It is all we can do to publish a small weekly paper." As a rule, all papers benefit the public more than they do the publisher; for people hang back from paying subscrip tion bills with a reluctance not so com mon in other transactions. But pub lishers have such large hearts that they take the risk of benefitting: the public with the remote hope of ultimate benefit to himself. Donnelly Disposed op. We publish the following verd-.-s v, rit ten by a present townsman on a topic now familiar to the literary world. The effort of Mr. Ignatius Donnelly to pull down Shakespear from his pedestal, and place his laurels on another brow may amuss as an exercise of brilliant imagination or scholarly love, but Shake spear will occupy his place in the love and faith of theunivers of letters all the lime. There was but one Shakespear; there will be no other: The Downfall of Shskojipur ! BY DAN'L MCLiCGHLIS TH ERUEI.L.

'Ihe following bit of history we find in the Knoiville 2'ribune of the 17th, taken from Killebrew's ie sources on Tennessee : ''Knoxville was laid out in Feb ruarjr, 1779, though settlements were not begun in (he new town until the next year. It was like the country of which it was to bo the capital, named in honor of Major General Henry Knox, at that time Secretary of War under President Washington. The country was not established until a year after the tomi wa'i laid off. Governor Blount, then pre.-iuhig over the affairs of the territory by appointment of President Wahinsr ton, (st iVliirlud hia headquarters at Knoxville while the town was as yet onlv a name. On the fourth Mon day of February 17'J-l the first ter ritorial legislation assembled in Knoxville. On the 11th ol January of the following year a convention was assembled in Knoxviile for the nurpose of L'hangns the terntorv into the Stats." Evidently a mistake in date; for the revolutionary war was not over, Washington was not yet President and Tennessee was still a part of the territory of North Carolina. Washington was inaugurated April 30th", 17SU.

The Atlanta Cmflitulion says : '"Miss Prescott is away yonder above numbers of the "stars'" that essay to illumine the American the atrical firmament. Her portrayal of the gentle, timid, yet strong and womanly, "l'urthenia" w;!s aa line a bit of acting as has heei Been on a Southern ctage for many a dny.

Arrest of Ilerr Most the Anarchist Scene Transferred to New York. By Ulesrtph to th Aiatrill Cltia.) New York, Nov. 17. Herr Most the Anarchist has been arrested and taken to police headquarters. His arrest was made by the director of tne Inspector Byrnes on a warrant issued by Justice Cowing to-day tor having made au insendiary ruacch ealcubiied to liioitP! a riot last Sit- uiiljiy nig:, in Ji ttrert.

Capt. ftlcCullr.ch succeeded in getting there with hii officers before the ao cialists had arrived and made the place decidedly uncomfortable for malcontents. But while this was going on Johann Most with ids companion Leva Fisher rras attend ing an Anarchists meeting in 7th street. After the audience not warmed up Most himself made a speech which was particularly blood thirsty in character. Unfortunately for Most Patrolmen Rott nnd Scchs f the 14th precinct were there in citizen s drtsa taking notes ; and these memoranda were bronchi to Superintendent Murray and laid be fore him on Monday,;-, nd search was begun for tiie Anarchist. He was not to be fon .d, and there was every reason to believe ho had left the ju risdiction of the State and was in hiding somewhere. Tho shrewd ness oi inspector liyrnes came into play. He knew that if he mads pnbiie the quandarv of the police Most would naturally learn ot it and he would stay out of the ci-y indefinitely, so he kept his mouth sealed and allowed th? excitcruei.t of the search of Most to die out. Bait was well used. Most thought the troublo was gone by and yes terday he came back to tha city and went to work on his paper. Mr. Byrnes was informed of this, and early this morning he went before the District Attorney and presented the evidence he had obtained against Most for his i-'icviidiai'v lem.iik. and asked that the Grand Jury find an indicium. t i.i.-ist him. in.-pic-tor ami seven wi'i '- es.- --tve r'.: inwr.y and the indictment was four.u.
