To you, sir, for the courteous manner iu which you propose this toast, and to you, gentlemen, lor the cordial manner in which yoa have been pleased to treat me. - It is true thatou iuoie than one occasion during my very, short sojourn I have been compelled to inflict a sixteen on American .audience (Laughter) in the stately city of Al bany. In the cheerful, picturesque and delightful city of Portland, the charm of whose men and women I shall not forget, and once already to-day in this city (applause), nnd yet I can truly say that never in my life until now, as I rise to re turn thaxrics for this, toast, in this stately and magnificent city have I so earnestly and unfeinedly desired that some more adequate son of my dear ok! country was before you, that there was some more compe tent exponent of learning and elo quence and refinement of English men than an old and weary lawyer who has by accident attaiued so high that he now holds all but the very highest situation in the great profession to which it is his pride and privilege to belong. I assure yoa he has never ceased to wonder how in the world he came to hold it, (Laughter.)? I have been quite cou scions that such a greeting us you have been , pleased to extend toaiight is made to my couutryruen and not to me, or if made to me it is because I am an Englishman, and because I represent to yoa in some faint measure the great coun try from which I come. (Applause.) I knew enough from ..toe. newspa pers and other authentic sources of information (laughter) of the kind ly, and cordial feeling entertained in the American States toward my beloved sovereign, when the band Flayed God Save the Queen, but will confess to you, ' gentlemen, that in spite of all I have heard of American cordiality and American hospitality, I was for a moment surprised to hear uRule Brittania'' tIayed upon this shore of the At antic TJiwn that ocean heretofore the two great nations have contended with equal courage, I hope I may say, but not with equal success, be cause in. tho nature of things it could not be.

Gen-. tlemen, the welcome that has been extended to me since l lanaea in NVw York has followed me here. I am here as the guest of this famous and ancient commonwealth of America ancient, I say, as far as things in America can do ancient; I mnat sav that vonr excellency has spared no pains and no trouble to make my stay cneenui, or, u use an Enclish word, 'thoroughly comfortable. (Laughter.) I thank on and I thank him most cordially and warmly for the welcome. I thank him tor anotner tmng. lie has chanced sticks with me, and he hat given me for one of no in trinsic value a very Taloable and ornamental stick.

" Gentlemen, theso things are full of intercut and of history. Do not beliove him who tells you thst you have no history. You may have a short history, because you cannot help it; but you have a great histo ry. Yon have a history which any commonwealth . may justly and rightly be proud. (Applause.)

Lo well', I am proud to say, is my own honored friend your representa tive at this moment in my country, equally delighted whether as Hosea Bigelow or as James Russell Low. ell gifted with equal eloquence to move the hearts of his readers whether to smiles or to tears. And Howell's the last of the American invaders who has taken England by storm. (Applause.) These are your glories. Theso are the men who make your histo ry. These are the men whom forgive me for saying it you ought to be, if you are not, proud. . Gentlemen, in the person of a very humble Englishman, on the one side, and of this great compa ny on the other, let me think that England and America have met to gether to-night, : that they have come together and may stay to gether. (Applause.) Gentlemen, we are one, as Washington Allston, poet and painter, truly said. He worked in this State, and lies not far off in a Cambridge graveyard. "We are one in blood, we are one in language, we are one in laws, and we are one in hatred - of op pression and love of libety.', (Ap plause.) We are bound together, if I may reverently say so, by God himself iu the golden chain of ma ternal affection and maternal re spect.. The two nations so joined together, I am nrmiy convinced, man will never put asunder. 1 The Qaskera. - The Quakers In Guilford bad a pleasant commingling some two or three weeks aero at the students' re union at the New Garden Board ing School. We should liked to have been there to have told them that the bravest soul we knew: in Lee's army was a joung Quaker. He belonged to La ranee's 34th X C. licgiment. Scales! brigade. He refused to do duty and they .order ed him taken to the picket line and placed midway the two lines ' in an open field so as to give him the chance to go over to the enemy. He refused to walk to the Picket line aud the relief dragged him all. the way. They placed him as di rected. It was at Petersburg. They lea him a white blanket. But (he next morning be was still tnere. And they had to crawl out and take him bis rations, placing a house in the field between him and the enemy. We went on picket soon after. He looked like a snow ball way out in the field. It was February very cold. We were curious to see him and crawled out to interview him. He was a rudy faced, fair haired youth. He said he had nothing to do with bringing on the war and would not fight didn't believe it was right. He would not go to the Yankees had nothing to do with them his home wasn't with tbem. w e attempted to reason with him but he had the Bible at the end of his tongue we were no match for him. When wo returned to the line the captain of the company to whieh he had been assigned told us that he had plan ned a way to scare the Quaser into doing service, nnd that was to bring him back and marcli bun with a line or soldiers, tneir guns empty, but ho not to know it to the wood, and there iuform him that he was ordered to have btm shot unless he consented to do duty. So he sent for him. The Quaker stood straight up in the field nnd walked straight to our lines, the Yankee picket cutting the dirt about his feet with minnies, but he never quivered or eveli looked back. The captain marched him to the woods and gave him five minutes to say he would do duty -or else die. The, Quaker sat on a stump and never .'said a word. "Time's np." said tho captain. The Quaker stood up, "Ready, aim, "God forgive these men," said the Quaker, holding np his hands, they know not what they do." "Your execution is postponed till to-morrow morning at nineo'clock," said the little captain, returning his watch to his pocket, and evi- dentlv realizing that the laugh was now on bim. mey cameu toe Quaker back to camp. The last we heard of him he was at some provost station in the State, but In the guard bouse still refusing to do dnty.' We reckon they sent him home. Wish we con Id remember hi name and the countj he was from. ' Ho was the bravest man in the war. He was true to his faith. The Cape Fear file Crop Wilmiarte RtWv. There have been many fears ex nressed that, in the storm of Tues day, the rice crop, now just ready lor uarvesting wouiu busuilu ten ons injury. There has undoubted ly been considerable loss, but we imagine it has been much less than was at first anticipated. Where rice had been recently cut and was lying on the stubble when the storm came on it will be very much injured and much of it will be lost by being washed away, batL where the grain was standing the damage will be inconsiderable. GREENSBORO, N, C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1883. Fermalaa for - VTaeat I think one of the best home made manures for wheat, without the use of cotton seed is the follow Ing: Any good acie phosphate, 1,000 lbs. ouipnate ammonia, iw Muriate potash, . ' , 100 " Stable manure, . 800 " . .... 2,000 This is best prepared by having layers of. Stable manure and acid phosphate alternately, and sprint ling each layer with the muriate potash and sulnhate ammonia dis olved in water. Use 400 pounds of this compost to the acre. he for mula has been tried and everywhere given satisfaction. A verv crood comnost when cot ton seed can be obtained is the fol lowing: Cotton seed, Dissolved bone, Nitrate potash. 25 bushels. 450 pounds 50 " 800 " Stable manure, This, when applied at the rate of coo pounds per acre, nas ueen known to increase the yield from 6 to 20 bushels per, acre of first class wheat. Would like to call your attention to Van Boren's wheat manure which is very simple and does away with chemicals entirely. . Stable manure is made very fine either by chopping it or by the use of a ma-mire-nnreader. and is mixed with bone meal, two-thirds of the former with one-third of the latter. Three hundred or four hundred pounds of this mixture to the acre; prefer able by drilling. very gooa re sults have been reported. Very truly yours, Chas. W. Dabhby. Jr., i -I Director. lllatory f the SpeakerahJp. The average age of 'the speakers at their first election ' as such offi cers has been. less t!ian 40 years. Only one . man had,' on his first election to that ofSceJ attained the age of Mr. Cox. Mr.; Pennington, of New Jersey, the speaker of the Thirty-sixth Congress, was 64 years old when elected to the Speakership, and only lived one year after ,the expiration of his term or ofiice. uniy tnree otners were over 50 when they were first chosen speaker. These three were Theodore Sedgewick, of Massa chusettes, the speaker of the Sixth Congress, Vara um, also of Massa chusettes, the speaker of the Tenth and Eleventh Congress, and Linn Boyd, of Kentucky,' the speaker the Thirty-second and Thirty-third Con cress.- The average aga of the speakers since the First Congress has been a little over o years. Ileurv Clav was th vouncest speaker that the House-ever bad. He was but 34 years of age when elected to the Speakership the first time, aud but 48 when he left it after having served a longer time in the speakers chair, tnan any man who ever-occupied it before or since. Only one otner - man re sides Clav ever occupied tho chair more thau six years- Stephenson, of Virginia, occupied it eight years. Clay filled it 12 years. Should Air. iiandaii oe cnosen speaker, as he is likely to be, it will give him a longer term in tne chair than any man except Clay and Stephenson. His first term ot service was in the second session of the Forty-fourth Congress, when he succeeded Speaker Kerr of In- diana.' Since that he has had two full terms, making five years as speaker. Three men besides Mr. Randall have had three terms each; who came to tne ! cnair in leui. Six others had two terms each; Muhlemburg, the speaker of the First and Third House; uayton, or the Fourth and Fifth; Varuum, of the Tenth and Eleventh; Taylor, of the Sixteenth and Nineteenth; Polk who was speaker of, tho Twentv-f onrth and Twenty-fifth Congresses, and Boyd of the Twen- ty-second andTwenty-tniru. i'oik ia thaonrv sneaker iwho was ever elected president, and Clay, his op ponent, was the only otner speaKer ever honored with a nomination." It is a sin crular ! fact that New York has never had bnt one speak er of the House, John W. Taylor, who was speaker duriug the sec ond session of the Sixteenth Con gress and throughout the term of the Nineteenth. Kentucy has fur nished speakers for? the House for creater period or time tnan any other State. TJenry Clay occupied the chair nearly! 12 years. Boyd four years and White two years. Pennsylvania has furnished three peakers whose terms aggregate 11 I years. . Massachusetts bas lur ished four whose terms aggregate w m a . 10 years. Virginia tour wnose term foot up 13 years, South Car olina, New Jersey and Tennessee two each, and Connecticut, ortu Carolina, Ohio, New York and Maine one each. .

The names of the new pmnns shonld differ 'from the present ones ; to avoid confusion. I - respect fuUy suggest the following :: Jiortheattern iSiate New !ng- land States.

The letter set forth a! schemoj by which a number jf wires,' eual to the'letters ' of the alphabet! hould be extended hori zontally! parallel to one-another andaboqts 1 inch apart, between two places.

Mr, Morrison's experiments did not extend over circuits longer than forty 'yards, but he had conli " mco tnat tne range or action couui i greatlyl lengthened if due carei re give"i to the insulation of the wires.
