-I& spite of the present peaceable
boss, J the thunder storm whioh is to
clear up the international weather seems
to be still expected. The nations are
quietly bracing themselves in different
ways.: Germany wants to strengthen
net army by the addition of 41,185
men. The Cologne Gaaette wails at the
opposition which objects to the increase,
and foresees n reign of Bonapartist des
potism, Communism perching upon the
ruJni of tho German Empire, and ft gen
eral smash-up, unless the army be
strengthened to equal that of Franoe.
Gen. Boulanger continues the reorgam
latum of the French army with blood it

ordered the strengthening of the gani-
M ' I son of Gibraltar, and has gathered in

Englishmen may keep on never being

IoHpon, December 1. Archbishop
Walsh; of Dublin, informed a Pall Mall
Gtsotte reporter, who interrogated him
concerning united Ireland's rent move
ment that he was at first startled and
grieved at the nlan of the campaign
whioh the league had adopted, but ne
had since been eonvinoed of its equity
and necessity. He did not fear that
the church would lose its moral influence
over the people. 7 he movement was
imperative to establish a rent fixing
tribunal which would be independent of
tho landlord and tenant alike. So
cial order in Ireland depended . upon
tne success of this movement.

A large number of influential lodges

several oflthe smaller lodges are in

Our on opbion is cotton is the best
chance if properly managed. If our
people would raise all they could with
out going in debt, and raise oorn, peas,
wheat, oats, rye, rice, syrup and pota
toes, the expense of farming could be
curtailed at least fifty per cent, and our
people could live easier and better.
These will not always bring cash in
market, but they can be exchanged for
sugar, oo ffee, molasses, cloth, &o., for
whioh money wonld have to be paid,
and they oould certainly be furnished, to
hands, and would be much more eon
veniant and satisfactory than orders to
be paid in the fall.
Our people must learn to live on less
money. Our people talk a great deal
about eotton as a money crop, and
yet in many instances it takes the whole
crop to pay for the guano, leaving all
the rest to be raised in some other way.
There is ' something radically wrong
somewhere, and the man who eaa deteo
the error and eause the people to for
sake it, will be a philosopher who will

President Battle is doing good

We hope, at some time, he will put
his miorosoopio lenses upon a portion of
our history which we have always re
garded as the dark and bloody period
of a h:h few memorials have been pre
served Gary's rebellion. Our histor
ians have mostly been in error about
the events of that period of civil strife,
which lasted three or four years. There
is a most meritorious oiass of our fellow
countrymen, . who, we believe, have
been done great injustice in the ac
counts whioh have been given by Dr
Hwks and other historians of "Gary's
Rebellion." It was a civil and reli-
J;ious sanguinary oonfliot in whioh the
arger element on one side was the
Quakers, no doubt aided by disaffected
and lawless persons George Davis, in
a late lecture before the library associa
tion of Wilmington, did much to rectify
history,' but the impression yet pre
vails that the Qiakers of that time were
lawless men, aiming to overthrow the
established government of North Caro
lina with arms in their hands, and that
they held military commissions under
Cary. The statement does dishonor to
their peaocful tenets, and we believe is
unjust to them. We hope Preaident

well known modiste icoently be
came indignant and eloquent upon tho
subject of the difference j between the
tournure or "dress-improver," and the
erinolette. ; The latter is jfavorod only
by ft certain class of our country-womeu
who think' that because a thing is fash
ionable 'vere can be no limit to its style,
to the height, for instance: of the fash
ionable bonnet, the depth, of the fash
ionable moerning veil, or I tbe breadth
of the tournure. On the batis of this
reasoning, they arrange that their crino-
ette shall extend from belt to skirt-hem
he painful consequence being that tho
skirt, with everything above and about
it, wobbles in a most ungainly and ludi
crous style.: The tournure, much smal-
er in its proportions, simply sets out
the dress at the back and its task is at
an end. It obtrudes itself on no one's
notice, and gives a certain effect te the
gown, enure, impossible; to achieve
without its graceful aid. j

consumers, as well as relieving the burden of

ease with Green's Aiurust flower and Bo-
shea's German Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-six cents per dozen,, has been added to
increase the size 02 tne bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-firth more
medicine in the 78 cent size. The August
Flower lor Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and tne eermaa syrup lor 45ngh and Aung

medicines in the world. The at, vantage of in-

Fire Botes.
A visit yesterday to the seene of
Tuesday's fire revealed a melanoholy and
atiu dangerous atate of anira; in a
fearfully locking open spaee, about two
hundred yards s-iuare, was to be seen
the black, scorched and smoking re
mains of fifty thousand dollars worth of
the country's best product, that went
up in smoke the day before. Two
str etnas of water had been kept playing
on the burning portions of the platform
all of Tuesday night and during yester
day, but the eotton was still biasing in
several plaoes. A great many bales had
been torn to pieces, that the fire that had
eaten its way into them might be reach
cd, and a quantity of loose burning eot
ton was being blown about the premises
It was feared that the wind, whioh waa
brisk, would carry some of this flaming
eotton across the squares and communi
cate fire to houses and other eotton that
had been moved the day before for safo-
ty. A large foroe of hands was kept at
work, and every little outbreak was
promptly attended to, but even then it
was with difficulty that the fire could be
kept under. Large trenohea were dug
yesterday, and much of tbe burning
matter was thrown into them and cov
ered up. Nothing that had been sub
jected to the fire oould be trusted, ani
whole bales were thrown into tbe eotton
grave. This of course, will be tken
out when all possibility of danger from
it shall have passed. Quite a number
of itB were taken to neighboring
branches and thrown in, but the fire wa
not extinguished It was found neoet
sarv to take the hoops from everv one
that bad caught and thoroughly saturate
it with water before it oould be eooouat
ed safe. The staple article is scattered
over all parts ef the oity. Moore
square is being used as a ootton yard
until the platform oan be repaired. The
damage to this is muoh greater than at
first supposed; $2 UUU will barely repair
the injury. Lumber has been ordered,
however, and the work of repairing
will be pushed right ahead. The oot
ton compress has not stopped work, as
nothing but the shed was lrjired.
