This woman had been living in a little house no the side of the mountain for. but a ihotl tim . Our informant did not obtain and station, by regularly sharing with known and to him notorious thieves and purjurers, the spoils of their joint infamy. A sad picture indeed, yet there is one more painful still. One step from Gen. liabccck s office, which has become the arcanum of our national disgrace, and we are in tbenrtVAte office of the. nreiident of the United States. To-day the eyes of the whole nation are turned to him in shame and reproach. There he sits stolid, sordid, sullen. It is possible to believe Gen. Henderson's solemn assur ance of faith in Grant's entire innocence ? There is but one ground where it cau be presumed, and that is bis utter imbecility. Until that is proven, and until it is de nied that from the very first day day of his inauguration, up to the present hour, Grant baa invariably associated with the most corrupt scoundrels and bas uever appoiuted an honest official "where it could be avoided";' until his intimac7 with Casey, with Tom Murphy, with Lest, with Corbie, with Boss Shepherd, I . t w w- rv a wun DaDcocR, Joyce ana Mcuonaid is explained ; until his appointment of near ly all of these to high placeaof power aud profit can be justified until he has re called Cramer from Copenhagen and Emma Mine Schenck from the court of St. James ; until he removes Brother in law Jim. Casey from robbing the reve uuein New Orleans, withdraws bis broth er Orville from the Indian ring, and ig nominiously kicks Babcock out of the White House we shall not believe him free from the knowledge of what his most intimate confidents daily practiced before his eyes, and largely, if not entirely, by the use of his name and power. There are constitutional governments in which ministers resign the very moment they lose the cofidencc of the people. One hundredth part of the disgrace of this whiskey ring would instantly drive the cabinet of any constitutional government from power. If Gen. Grant has a spark of shame or honor left, let him show it by vacating the White House which he bas Lit him resign ? has only seen them in rose color. Let him wait until they have got him where they want him, have made him dependent pon them, and are able to say to him authoritatively, "Brother, do this," or "Brother, leave undoue that," and he will regret from the bottom of his soul that he ever saw or heard of such a place as Des Moines. N. Y. World. Rev. A. W. Mangum. In sketching the various members of the recent Meth odist conference in Wilmington, the Star of Dec. 8, has this to say of Rev. A. W. Mangum, so well known and beloved in this city : One of the most accomplished members of the body which has just adjourned was Rev. Adolphus W. Mangum, of illustrious lineage, who as scholar, orator, poet and pastor, is a household word in many countiesNrf North Carolina. The age of Professor Mangum is about 40. He came to the conference In 1856, and was made Professor of Englsh Literature and Belles Letters last summer in the Univer sity of North Carolina.

AGRICULTURAL. pfatit r4i a it it u ti u ti Removing StumMw A friend ask as what can be done to get rid of stamps in fields whether crude oil would not cause the stumps to barn readily ? In our experience we have We are sure It will j found it preferable to remove stamps witn mac nines maae tor that purpose and burn them afterwards, if desired. It is slow work Burning isolated stumps in a field and the same amount of time spent in uprooting them will be much more effective. A good team, horses or oxen, with a stamp machine, will clear quite a space of ground in a day, and if the ground be atony, tbe work may be further progressed by filing the boles when 3m stossps came from with stones to within eigh- 4,281,93 jteeh inches or two feet of the surface. 4,279,33 Crude oil is not verv inflammable. and unless used in large quantities its only effect is to clear the surface of the stump and make it last even long er than it otherwise would.

All the time that he was accused of iuuketing around the country, a champion dead head, he was really bnsyJu hunting for subjects for his message. His visits to Colorado and Wyoming impressed his sagacious mind with the inequality of our public land system. A Hying trip to Salt Lake and a hurried interview with Brother Bringham convinced him of tbe anamalous, scandalous condition of Utah and the unblushing prevalence there, of the unnatural vice called pluralism.

A. Weant, of Salisbury, has invented and patented a "seif-adiuptinff railway switch, which will be of incalculable advantage to rail road companies, both iu point of economy and safety. With this attachment, a train running thirty miles au hour can be run on tbe side track at the will of the engineer, and should the connection be with the switch, and tbe engineer wish to go ahead on the maiu track, be can with equal ease shift the switch, running at the same gperd; in fact, it is impossible to run a train oft at a switch with this at tachment. Some company or party of means should own the patent, so as to put it into practical use.

THE NATION'S DISGRACE. I From the St. Louis Times. 1 At last. A sudden flash and the White House stands revealed in a light haaeful corruption and pollusion. To fad the revelations iu the Avery trial on to oe iuckPd is inevitable. It is Htslotic Gen.

We have three steam-boxes, holding as wc are, may take abundant cooso lation from the superibr misfortunes of our Northern brethren. To show the terrible condition of tbe manufacturing interest, a well known gen tleman and fellow-citizen just arrived from New England, suited yesterday that he saw large sales of tbe best Arnold prints made by dealers In North Adam, Mass., on tbe 5th ins:., at two aad a half cents per yard. This was not at auction but a regular business transaction. The moral is that paper must be met when it falls due to preserve mercantile credit. Another opulent mm master, wbo runs seven furnaces in Massachusetts and one in New York, bas not sold a pound of metal iu three years. He has acres of it stacked op, waiting for better prices, and in the meantime borrotcs money to carry on operations.
