Pirector Leach, of the' Mint Bureau, at Washington, , made the following statement last Saturday on the subject of sil ver: "The price of silver to day is $1 01, fine ounce, an ad vance of three or four cents over the price at which silver has brought for several months. I bought largely Wednesday and Friday because I believed from indications that the price of sil ver was going up and that it was to the interest of ; the Govern ment to get its quota of four and a half million ounces a month at the lowest possible figure. While it is believed that con siderable silver represented by certificates on the New York Stock Exchange is held on fore ign account, the visible stock, that is stock that is for sale, has decreased and offer? to tiie Gov ernment have fallen off largely. Fortius and other reasons it is thought that the i present ad vance is largely a natural one, with strong probabilities that is will be permanent and progres sive. Government purchase are evidently making a decided im pression on . the price. If the wheat crop of India should be as large as reported, it would necessitate increased shipments of silver to pay for it, and this would have a tendency to in crease the value of white metal. The Secretary has not decided yet whetherhe will continue the coinage of "silver dollars after the 1st proximo, but will make a decision in that matter prompt ly on his return to Washington this week. ; - Jan;;-roiis t Live. Human life is becoming very cheap and in the language of a man with whom the writer was talking a few days ago, "It is getting dangerous to live in these days." iluruer and all forms of crime is becoming so common that its terror is being lost on the public mind. Our people are not sufficiently arous ed by the murderer's deed. It is a duty to rise up a-tainst all crime as means of public safety, not to arise through - mere an xiety, tut with t J taint of deep indignation, and aid in bringing criminals to justice. uocKiugnain Kocicet, Wontlerf ut Caves. Travellers and scientists are greatly interested m the recent discovery of wonderful caves on the island of Corsica. A miner who undertook to explore them a few weeks ago found it im posnibl.j to do so. He discovered various small caves, close to gether, which led to a mammoth cave some distance from the ori ginal openings. The roof of the mammoth cave was between 00 and 70 feet high. After travel ing under ground for some time he came uimn an immense lake, which made further progress impossible. According to his estimates the lake is situated under the mountain chain La Heveliatta, near Calva, and gets its water from the ocean. In support of his theory a small grotto was discovered on Cape Kevellata, on a level with the sea, which is believed to be con nected with the caves. The length of the caves along the coast is estimated at thirty miles. A society of savants has been formed to explore the place thoroughly this summer. Oxford Ledger: The trial for attempted rape by Dr. H. A. Nash on the person of Miss SiiKie Goss some weeks ago came olf at Lyon's on Saturday last More S.juiros W. T. Adams, M. L. Cok-y and K. E.

The committee, uppointed by the Davis Monument Asso ciation and Chamber of Com merce, to wait upon Mrs Jeffer son Davis with a view of secur ing her consent for the inter ment of the remains of her hus band in this city, left for New York to-day to perform that mishioti. Mayor Hemphill of Atlanta, Ga,. has vetoed all the beer licenses in that city. Mother Love Triumphant. The tenderest and sweetest of the human race is a new born babe., ,"Qf such is the kingdom of heaven," said our Savior, and for such is our most heart felt sympathy. Through an guish that no one but its mother suffered, through , agony great as Christ himself suffered on the cross, are they born into the world,1 and to, the breast that covers the truest and best heart of the human family are they drawn for sustenance and life. When the mother for the first time looks into those little peep ing eyes and smiles, it is but the radiance of angel's laughter, and its first piping treble notes are the echo of the heavenly charms borne to earth by" the zephyrs from paradise. Love was first born with a mother's kiss upon the forehead of her newborn babe, the strongest yet discovered. Through tears comes this blessing to cast a halo around her life. How sad, then, must be the little one born without those blessed orbs, and who emerges from darkness in to a never ending night. Such cases are rare. Yet in New York, a few days ago, a babe was born without eves Its Barents i are poor people, nothing in - their physical history affords! -warrant for this most strange and sad prenatal affliction. Tho infant is absolutely .without eyes, uniy two pitiful hollows, without eyeballs or pupils no hope for the faintest ray of the lignt of this world. How were they to tell the poor mother? e or several oays iney woum not permit her to see her babe. At last her anxiety and alarm be - came so great that it was deem ed best to tell her all. And so they brought in the eyeless babe and placed it on her bosom. Ah, thank God, for nature was mer ciful after all! . The mother, pierced to the heart with an guish and sorrow, poured forth her passionate love in such measure as to awe the witnesses of that sacred scene. She did not shrink from the unutter able woe of the little face which was never to unke response tq her tender smile never to be hold the light of day. A love ten-fold animated her whole being and as she clasped her babe to her . breast, mother and offspring were united in God cemented affection that only death shall part, and that which was abhorrent at first thought, became two hearts and two soils with but a single thought, and that a mother's holiest love. Though eyes could not see, the heart could feel. God bless the eyeless babe, we all have a tear to shed for the poor tittle un fortunate, and a blessing upon the head of its noble hearted mother. ltd tl as a Warning nua Ivaui- pie. The New York Evening Post, which has all along taken a hopeful and liberal view of the "neirro problem" in the South, and has given the blacks full credit for all the evidences of progress and improvement they have exhibited, is disgusted with the existing state of anar chy, disorder and bloodshed m Ilayti and expresses the opinion tin ka n v a rta Atxintr tt t lw negro brute Hyppolitecall for some prompt interference on the part of the powers who have a naval force at Port-au-Prince. The Post Bays: President Hyppolito seems to bo insaue, uui mere is no power m me re public capable of deponing or restraining him, and he is using his continued control of the army to indulge in the whole sale massacre of his enemies. His violation of Mexican Con sulate at last roused the Diplo matic Corps into a visit of re monstrance at which he, it is said, insulted them ail, and then retired into an adjoining room to play the flute. Of course remonstrance addressed to a madman is ot little use. It ought to take the form of inter ference, in the interest of hu manity, which overrides all con siderations of form. The chief political importance of the mat ter is due to the effect it will have all over the world on what is called "tho negro problem." Ilayti has long been a great discouragement, to those who think the negro capable of man aging his own affairs in civiliz ed communities. The recurrence of these horrors after one hun dred yearsof opportunity is a phenomenon which it is difficult to meet by a priori arguments. The Kansas Millers' Associa tion are anxious for a recipro city treaty with Mexico. Hon.T. C. Fuller. Fytti'Tills Obnenwr. Hon. Thos. C. Fuller, whom the President has just appointed Justice on the bench of the Court of Land Claims, is a na tive of Franklin county, and is about 00 years of age. He was educated at the University of iNortn L-aronna, anu, shortly af ter commencing the practice of his profession, married Miss Cattie Whitehead, of an old and cultivated family, and one of the most charming and accom plished young women in Fayette vine society. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted as a private in Capt. J. 13. Starr's Company F. (LaFayette Light Infantry) in the famous First (Bethel) JNortn Carolina Kegiment which, with the Richmond Howitzers and a few other de tached troops, fought the first regular engagement of the war at liig Bethel, a few miles be low Yorktown. Afterwards he became 1st Lieutenant in Co, B, 13th N. C, Battalion Light Artillery, but resigned m 1803, having been elected to repre sent this district in the Confed erate Congress. After the war he was elected to the Federal Congress, but, like many other l-"3 southern representatives, was not allowed to take his seat , Col. Fuller held at this bar the commanding position which he readily assumed at Raleigh on removing to the state capita ! about fifteen years ago. An ' able counselor, expounder ano interpreter of the law, he is al most invincible before a jury j una can iook uacK upon many .splendid trinmons "in the court 1 room; his thrilling speech dur- ing the trial of Boyle Bryant and Wiley Evans, charged with the murder of Charles Boone in the fall of 1873, is remembered here as ue ot the most brilliant efforts of his professional life, His judgeship carries with it a salary of $5,ouo a year, with the necessary traveling expenses, liny a Lor. On ail sides in Liurham may be seen new houses going up, (Some of them are handsome residences, not temporate struct ures. The town is steadily and solidly growing into a city. Rapidly, we might truly say, the site marked by nature is be iuur utilized for the purpose for which it was plainly intended It is srrowing not upon a specu lative but upon an actual basis of values. Lots are quoted at their intrinsic worth a basis not dependent upon the future but unon the present. The man buildinz himself a home may f.K'l sure that it will never be worth less than its cost to him, but reasonably certain that at the lowest he will receive in valuation increased at least compound interest. 1 here can be no safer investment any where thau in buying lots here and putting up houses on them for rent or s.ile. A certain in come or profit is guaranteed. Despite all the building going on, the demand w lar irom sat isfied. It continues to increase. This is a line field for a capitalist syndicate to purchase a number of lots, build on then and make a large profit. There is uo bet ter point m the soutu. uur ham is going ahead and will continue to do so On the 7th, 8th an I !'th of next month the Consolidated Land and Improvement Com pany will offer two hundred lots at auction, lhese lots are ad jaceut to Trinity Park, in easy access ot the street railway, auu this will be a diawo for those wishing to buy and build.

Sviiay an immense city Lon don must The census re cent! taken sho.v that it has A populatimi greater than the States ot .Maryland, Virginii, North Carolina and fouth Car olina. It li more uilribitaiits than the great State of Pennsyl vania and almost as many as the Empire State of New ork. A Ghkat deal of sympathy has been e.tjH-iided from time to time in the North over tho im aginary hardships experienced by the cokwd jteople of the South, but wo doubt if there is as much real suffering during the course of an entire year le tween the Potodiae and the Rio Grande as prevails annually during the heated term among the occupant 'i the tenement houses iu New York City, Here is an account, from the Balti more Sun, showing how poor people in New York have suffer ed during the present week: What a sight it is to pass through the tenement streets and see men, women and chil. dren sleeping on the fire escapes, the roofs, the cellar spoutings, anywhere but in their wretched aens miscailea "homes," any where out of the foulness and stifling atmosphere of indoors. Many of the toilers in the South occupy humble cabins, but they have an abundance of fresh air, which is not the case with those who inhabit the densely crowded tenement quar ter of the chief city in the coun try. Try a Chan ire. A well-known medical auth ority is so strong an advocate of change that he says: "Change your climate if you can; if you cannot do that, change your house, failing your house, change your room, and if not your room, then rearrange your furniture." If possible every family should go away once a year for a month's stay under different surroundings: if this is not possible, changes of a week at a time will probably save you a doctor's bill if you have become "run down" in health. Make as many expedi tions as you can during the summer; go once a week if pos sible and you will find them more efficacious to build up the strength than any tonic that can be administered If possible get different food for the family at such times than they are daily accustomed to, even if it is not as delicate. A change of food will often stimulate a jaded ap petite. When children or grown people begin to lose appetite and seem listless, better than a stock of tonic for blood is a visit at a distance where there is a complete change of scene and food. Condition of the Cotton Crop. Washington'. June 21. The June report of the agricultural department on the condition of the cotton crop is very discour aging. The acreage is placed at 97.7 per cent of the area of last year and the average con dition is 85.7 of that of '90 The reduction of area is attributed in some districts to concerted contraction on account of low prices, but it is evidently due principally to unfavorable con ditions for planting and ger mination. The areas as compared with those of last year are aa follows: Virginia, 90; North Carolina, 10; South Carolina, 90; Georgia, Florida. 99: Alabama. 90: 95: Mississippi, 95; Louisiana. 90: Texas, 105; Arkansas, 96; Ten nessee, 95. The general condition is the lowest for June since 1874, thought it is only a fraction owerthan that of 1883 and 188:i, the latter a year of srood yield through favorable later conditions. The state averages of condition are: Virginia. 78: North Carolina. 75: South Car olina. 80: Georgia. 80; Florida, 0; Alabama, 8:); Mississippi, 88; Lousiana, 88: Texas 91; Arkan sas, 88; Tennessee, 73. The Johnstown Flood. Pittsbcru, June 22. J. J. Strager and Mr. Leckey, of Johnstown, have entered suits in the Cambria Courts for dam ages against the South Fork r islung Club, who owned the reservoir which broke on May 31, 1889, and caused the flood which swept .10,000 persons to ath and spread rum through the Conemaugh Valley.
