The House of Deputies Concur In
the Action of the I'pper House
011 a Number of PolnlH Dr.
tiiirtonM KcMolutloti Panned.
Nl'W York, October IS. Services were
celebrated in llie house of deputies this
morning by Bishop (Juiiitnrd, ol Tennes
see, assisted by Bishops Spalding, ol' Col
orado, and Scarborough, ol New Jersey.
There was a small attendance. The dep
uties ure too well seasoned to services to
deprive themselves of their natural rest
to conic to hear their Bishops. The gal
leries, however, were well tilled with la
dies. At 10.20 Dr. Dix called the house to
order. Not more than 1Q0 of the nicin
.bers were present.
Reports of Lhe different standing com
mittees were then presented.
The committee on canons then prc
isented a report on tbe proposed estab
lishment of 11 missionary Episcopate lor
the colored people. It is as follows
Even if this church were prepared to
recognize bv law the (liltcrence between
its white and colored members, and pro
vide for their separate organization,
cither into parishes or Episcopal jurisdic
tions, we think that the mode of doing
so as provided in this proposed e.'inon
would be, lor in my reasons. iucxk-dicui,
and that it could lie properly and elfi
cicnllv done only after a change ill the
constitution. While we do not abso
lutely assert that the proposed canon
would lie unconstitutional, yet it touches
so closely on Artu.lv IV. that, for this
reason alone, we would deptecale its
adoption. Hut, waiving lor the present
constitutional objections, and those
totinded on the proposed line of dis
tinction between the white and colored
races, we are of the opinion that other
And fatal objections present themselves
in proposed canon.
.First, if we had the right to provide
3hy canon for the erection of missionary
jurisdiction within one ornioreorgauized
.dioceses with the consent of Bishops and
ic inventions of the respective dioceses,
yt't the difficulty, if not impossibility, ol
obtaining any such consent which, on a
change of views, could not, and on the
ilea til of the bishop would not be with
drawn, and many complications which
would almost certainly arise under such
change of the views under many other
5upposablc contingencies, should deter
Ms from adopting the system here pro
posed for solving the problem of inherent
difficulties which "we all fully recog
nize. Second. This canon proposes an Epis
copal jurisdiction in )erson us within
the territorial jurisdiction of another
.bishop. We think that snch proposition
aiitiigonized the tiaditioual policy ol
the church, and the essential elements of
Episcopal jurisdiction which, from the
first, has been territorial and not kt
sonnl. But the real and essential ques
tion which meets us at the forefront of
this whole matter, and which we think
the church should first determine before
discussing plans and modes of procced
mre, in that first alluded to in this report;
namely: Shall the church in its law
of parochial or diocesan organiza
tions draw or recognize a line of distinc
tion between its white and its colored
members. We think this should not lie
done; and we therefore, for this reason
alone, and without reference to those
founded on the uueonstitutionlity or in
cxpcdcncy, recommend that the canon be
nut adopted and present the following
resolution :
Resolved, That thecomniitteeon canons
lie discharged from tbe further considera
tion of the subject. Discussion on the
question was postponed,
Jr. Benedict of the committee on the
constitutional amendments offered a res
olution to change the time of the as
s 'milling ol the next general convention
from the first Wednesday in October to
the third Wednesday in September. The
resolution was pluced on the calendar.
Rev. D. Littell, of Delaware, read the
report of the committee on the general
theological seminary, and recommended
its udoption. The report gave details of
the workings of the seminary.
Mr. King, of Long Island, requested
leave to present a minority report, Dis
cussion was postponed.
At 1 1 .05 o'clock a. m.. the house re
numed the consideration of the tuestion
of liturgical revision.
Six amendments which were adopted
yesterday by the house in the committee
of the whole were then taken up in order,
and after considerable debate were forra
;ily adopted. The noon recess was
then taken.
At the afternoon session the house of
deputies confirmed its action as a com
mittee of the whole on Thursday by pass
ing the joint liturgical committee's reso
lutions for a child's recovery from sick
ness, for a sale return from voyage or
travel, and lor penitential office for Ash
Wednesday.
Concurrence with the upper house was
also ordered upon the following: "That
after the rubric following the general ti
tle of the collects, epistles and gospels,
there lie inserted, the collect appointee!
for any Sunday or other least may be
used at the evening service of the day be
fore, also that the gloria pittri lie printed
at the end of the Kaster anthems."
Rev. Dr. Hart, of the committee, then
presented the next resolution in order,
which was, that in place of the rubric af
ter gospel for the Sunday next lietbre Ad
vent, there be substited : If there lie more
than twentyrfjye Sundays after Trinity,
the services of some of these Sundays that
were omitted after Epiphany shall be
taken in to supply so ninny us are here
wanting; nnd, if there lie fewer thun
twenty-live Sundays, the overplus shall
be omitted. This was adopted, the depu
tation from Iowa being the only deacon
jn the negative.
The peculiur features of voting on the
resolutions was that Iowa took decided
steps against a revision of any sort, nnd
desires through Dr. Hule to lie individu
ally recorded in that liuht.
Dr. i'billips Brooks' resolution to sub
stitute the 64th for the 69th Psalm in
the table ol proper Psalms for (iood Fri
day, went through after some discussion
by jin overwhelmingly affirmative vote
together witn tlie acliliuonnl collect,
epistle and gospel for Christmas and
Kaster day.
The resolution providing for the omis
sion of the dialogue ol the same be said
once on each Sunday was passed.
At this point came the real debate of
the afternoon upon Dr. Huntington s
resolution for a short office of prayer lor
sundry occasions.
The subject was reoiened by Dr. lid
gar, of Central New York, who hnpned
to be absent when the matter was belore
the committee of the whole.
Burgwin, of Pittsburg, hoped the mat
ter would not again lie discussed, and
jHiidhehud voted in tavor of the resolu
tion and believed thoroughly Hii the ex
cellence of the proposed short office.
Judge Wilder opposed the procrastina
tion which animated a certain small mi
nority. Dr. Edgar moved to postpone the
resolution, but the motion was lost.
First in a vive voce vole, and then In
orders and dioceses.
At ten minutes pas' the set hour of ad
journment, Dr. Huntington's resolution
was put and carried. The clerical vote
was ayes US, nays t ; divided HI; lay
vote -ayes 2, nays 1 ; divided ,'t.
This finally disposes of an important,
matter already proposed and rejected by
two previous conventions, so far as tin
house of deputies is concerned.

nent citizens, licailcd by the mayor, who
is a republican, boarded the train and it
was drawn to the top of Lookout
mountain, reaching there at sunrise.
They reached the city at 10 o'clock and
were met at the depot by a large crowd
of citizens of both parlies. Carriages
were in wailing and they were driven to
the various points of interest, and reached
the court house a: 111. 30. Thctront was
handsomely decorated, and a great
assemblage in waiting. Governor Hill
made a fifteen minutes' speech, lie a I
bided to the wonderlul recovery of tin
South from the devastations of war.
spoke of the splendid resources and grc.-n
future ol Chattanooga, and closed by
saying that the only way to set Ic the
question which confronted the Small

.'done and they would work a solution in
the same manner in which they recovered
from the war. He said his trip was not
political.
At the conclusion of the G ovcrnoi-'sad-diess
Geo. W. Ochs, ol Chattanooga, in
behalf of the people ol the city anil State,
presented Governor Hill with a magnifi
cent basket of cut flowers, saying that it
was a tribute from the citizens ol len

Death oI'Maj. E. L. Vaughn.
Stutettvilte Landmark.
Maj. E. L. Vaughn died of consumption
at his home at Sparta, Alleghany county,
Thursday last, the 10th iust. lie was a
lawyer of ability nnd had several limes
represented this county in the Lcgisla
i lire. In that body he was a recognized
leader. He was a man of much force of
character, ami us a speaker was ready,
incisive and always effective. Maj.
Vaughn was often spoken of in connec
tion with the congrcssiona, nomination,
and his ability and capacity for legisla
tive work marked him as a tit man lor
congressional service. For several vcars
the state ol his health has been such as
to withdraw him Irom all active partici
pation in public affairs. Had he lived he
would have liecu a notable factor in the
politics ill his district. Notwithstanding
that he was held in excellent esteem by
the public, we have always felt that he
was rated below rather than above his
capacity". The last public evidence that
he gave ol this was a communication in
the State Chronicle in January last in
opposition to the return of Senator Ran
som. It was in reply to an editorial on
the subject in The Landmark, and was
by all odds the strongest presentation of
the argument of the opposition that was
offered during the campaign. It was not
referred to in this paicr at the time for
the reason that the senatorial election
occurred before there was time for a re
joinder. The last public position that Mai.
Vaughn held was a membership in the
directory of the ieuitciitiary, and this he
resigned about two years ago because
his health would no longer admit of his
discharging the duties of the place. He
was at the time of his death probable
about 55 years of age.
The Verdict Applauded.
Charlotte Chronicle.
It is said that when I lie jury at Marion,
acquitted Edwin Brown, who shot Col.
Roger J. Page in the back at midnight,
the crowd in the court room applauded.
Mr. Brown, after a coroner's jury had
said that Col. Page had "come to his
death at the hands of sonic one unknown
to the jury," after remaining hidden for
some time, surrendered liiinscli as the
slayer of Col. Page.
The shooting of Col. Page at midnight
in the back, was a crime, no matter
what the provocation; and the acquittal
of his slayer through an unwholesome
public sentiment, was at least no subject
for the applause of it crowd of citizens.
Had Col. Page's offense lieen more
rank than even suspicion makes it, no
civilized people would justify his assassi
nation from the rear, and in the dead of
night, when his slayer could eseupe
under cover of darkness.
Mr. Brown's flight was a confession of
his own opinion of his own conduct ; and
yet when he is acquitted of murder in
oliedience to a dangerous sentiment, lie
is applauded,
Pntil public sentiment changes greatly
in North Carolina, until the good people
who are nine-tenths of the population
assert themselves more positively than
they have done, the proscts of the
State for growth and prosperity cannot
be alluring.

Wasminctun, October IS. The Simn-
son dry dock at the Norfolk navy yard,
which was opened September l'J;h, was
tormully accepted to-day by Commodore
Waite, chief of the bureau of docks and
yards. The dock cost the government
$4-5,737.
Acting secretary Batchelor to-day
directed the suspension of the work ol
constructing the court house and post
olliee at Savannah, Ga., until it can be
ascertained whether Congress will au
thorize the selection of another site and
increase the limit of the cost ol both site
and building. The present site was se
lected in January, 1SSS, but is regarded
as unsuitable for the purpose. The limit
of the cost is$20(),iil(lnnd not considered
sufficient. The department's action to
day is based upon a petition signed by
the governor of the State, members ot
the legislat are, State and city officials,
and u large number of citizens. The act
ing secretary also took similar action in
regard to the proposed public building
at Statesville, N. C, because of the repre
sentation by the mayor, aldermen ami
merchants of that city, that the site
selected bv the last administration is un-
satislact'-ry to the business community.
Total receipts from liieiuternalrcvcnuc
duriug the first quarter of the present
fiscal year were: $3,(iS,oi;ri ()r $.'!.

the corresponding period ol the preced

this rate dining the remainder of tile
year, the total receipts for the year will

100 more than the receipts during the
;revi,ius year.
The long and anxiously expected decis
ion of the secretary of the treasury upon
the proper classification ( f silver ores con
taining nasc metals, was rendered to-da v.
It reaffirms existing rulings first made by
John Sherman in 1SS0, and reaffirmed in
January and May, lssii, that ores com
posed of silver and lead, and iron ore,
silver and lead, or silver and other base
metals of which silver is the component
metal or chief metal, would be exempt
from duty under the provisions of the
free list lor "ores of sikcr." It has
lieen held by the mining interests ol
Nevada, Ftah, Colorado and other
States where silver is found combined
villi iron, lead and copper, that the pro
portion by weight or bull; of base metals
and not of value should determine the
dutiable character ol imported ores, ami
their etforts have been directed to having
Mexican ores taxed. It was in connec
tion with the importation of Mexican
ores that all of the decisions cited were
rendered. To-day's decision is long and
treats the subject exhaustively.

NORTH CAROLINA NOTIvS.
Charlotte News: Mr. C. Augustus
Glenn, the Gaston county young man
who was arrested in Charlotte sonic
weeks ago upon charge of breaking into
stores in Gastonia, was tried before Judge
Connor, at Gaston court. He was tried
on one charge of burglary and two char
ges ol larceny, was found guilty and sen
tenced to seven years in the peniten
tiary. The Durham Sun says that a very seri
ous accident occurred at Chapel Hill last
Tuesday. Mr. Walter Lloyd was tieei
,i -nlally shot in the face by Mr. Andrew
Jones. It seems that all old pistid had
been lying around in their room, un
loaded, for some time, and Mr. Lloyd
had loaded it for some purpose in Mr.
ones' absence. Mr. Jones came in on
the day designated and pointed it at
Lloyd, saying, "I've got you." Before
Lloyd could tell hint it was loaded he
was shot in the face.
Charlotte Democrat: On Monday
morning last, the time of judgment came
for last winter's Charlotte burglars.
Negro Bill Alexander was one of the
prominent spirits. He was scut on to
the criminal court, lie was identified by
Mrs. Lichtenslein, whose home he
entered last February. Also the silver
ladle he took was identified. Monroe
Calhey and Aaron Alexander were also
locked up. Gp to Monday morning
there had been fifteen arrests in all and
the Mayor is on the hunt lor the balance
ot the gang that infested the city sonic
uiemths past. Truly misdeeds as well as
good ones, by the aid of vigilant city
officials, sometimes return alter many
days.
Chatham Record: We have had the
pleasure ibis week of meeting Mr. S. F.
Perry, of Buckliu. Missouri, who is now
on a visit to his old home iu this county,
alter ail absence of forty-live years. Mr.
Perry was only eight years old when his
father James Perry, temoved from Chat
ham to Missouri. The journey was
made in n fonr-horse wagon, and the
time consumed in making it w as nearly
two months Iroin the !lh of April,
18, to the 2nd ol June. In returning;
here last week Mr. Perry made the same j
journey in less than sixty hours, in as i
many hours as it took days to go there.
This statement forcible illustrates the
piogrcss of the u-e, and how time and
distance are annihilated by the power of

This State Fair is the most successful

TRADE REVIEW.
l'N & t'O.'H KI-I'OKT OF Till'.
CONDITION OF HI SINISS
The Money .Market Still a Point ol
Anxiety. Rut the Hulk of Trade
Continues Large YVIienl, Corn
and OalH Down.
Nkw York, October Is. R. G. Dim ev
Co's review of trade for the week says:
As liclore, tlie money market is one
point of anxiety. Rates are higher, bin
perhaps apprehension has somewhat les
sened, as the senseless cry that the press
ure was only manipulated hasgiveu place
to a more rational understanding of Un
reality and consequent limitations of de
mand. The country still calls for money
largely, but reports from nearly all in
terior centres of supply show that the
supply is considered simple for commer
cial needs.
The volume of trade continues large,
bank clearings exceed hist years, railroad
earnings are encouraging, and eastbound
shipments li.v,.'. Chicago tire heavy.
The iron trade is still healthy. Southern
furnaces seeming to have well sold oft";
and, though an offer of high valley brand
No. 1 at $1(1.5(1 is reported, the quota
tion for pig is $17 to $1S. Bar iron is
not as linn as other forms, tind the sur
prisingly heavy demand for plates anil
structural forms is for steel rather than
iron. Kails arc quoted at $31.5(1, with
sales for the week of 57.5011 tons. An
otfer t'or 5.00(1 tons of American iron to
be shipped to Scotland tailed, because
Ircights were too high.
The wool trade is still dull, and, while
there is a fair movement of dress goods,
and enlarged discounts have caused more
business in knit goods, the demand for
men's woolens is strictly moderate.
Cotton niaiii.lacturcrs arc-thriving, and
tlie trade m goods satislactorv, ormt
lot lis selling at 3'ac for fis. A further
leclinc ot one-sixteenth in raw cotton
helps, and sales here were 50,000 hales
for the week. Wtveipts and exports both
continue to exceed last year's largely.
The speculation for higher prices in
wheat has not been active. The last gov
ernment report and heavy Northwestern
receipts, with seantyexports, combine to
depress prices, which have fallen 'JUc. for
the week, with sales of 31 .0(10,0(10 bush
vis against '0.(iiMI,(i(l(l last week. Friday
alone.
Corn has declined 1 ic and oats l'sC.,
while pork products, though still sus
tained by the clique, are a little lower.
Colfcc has yielded ' ic. and is weak at
Rio. Traders suspcel a better know ledge
of the yield than lias been forwarded.
The cord business is better with cooler
weather, but by no means satisfactory.
The price of raw sugar litis again de
cliucd iMc., and of relincd 1 ic, and a cir
cular am lounces the approaching opening
i 1 f I 1 rgcjs icel acles rclmery; but the fall in
sugar trust slock has been arrested by
an upward reaction.
The stock market resists tight money
stubbornly, but has yielded at an aver
age of .$1 per share on active railroad
stocks, with some recovery, however,
on Fridny. It istlic theory of some west
ern managers that an advance in prices
just belore the meeting of the Legislnturc
in granger Stales would be most unfort
unate. But a more generally controlling
iullucucc is e-mv:: '.ioi( that western com
petition tlueateus mischief, and is not re
strained by the inteT-t'tatc act or by the
good sense of managers, while for t In
present nionctarv uncertainties arc also
felt.

Mr. J. B. llillhcimer, president ol the

Tuesday night on his way to New York.
He was accompanied by Mr. W. W.

enterprise, and they bad lieen to South
port to look after their project. While
there thev purchased about thirtv-five
hundred Icet of water front for terminal
purposes, and took other steps wdiich in
dicate thai they mean business. We un
derstand that matters are in such shape
now that there is no longer any doubt
that this road will be built, and that
work is to be commenced at a not very
distant day. For this matter, we learn
that wink will higin on the wharves
within Iwo weeks.
In consequence of the prospect lor the
building of this road, it is stated that
Southport is on lhe eve of a decided

is u bank for which the capital has al

Yesterday a group of "small boys"
were amusing themselves with harpoon
ing n postal the eornerof Patton avenue
and Haywood street, the iestilent little
weapon being a pin inserted point fore
most into a shank, weighted and feath
ered, and with a string attached to haul
in the catch. In one of the easts of the
missile it missed the mark just as a
team was passing, and stuck into the
side of one ol the horses; maddened with
pain anil fright he dashed off, and the
team ran in imiuauagablc rlight down
the street. They soon brought the
wagon that was lumbering at their heels
in contact with another vehicle going the
same way, and its team joined in the
race; they dashed on, neck and neck,
until another wagon was overtaken and
run into, and then till three lay ill the-
road a confused pile of wreck formidable
enough to add' to the list of the every
day railroad easualitics, except, happily,
nobody was killed, nobody was hurt,
and the wreck did not take tire and
burn up.
Kciiiova! ol the 1'oxtollice.
At last we can speak positively; the
question is decided; and the postoflicc
will be removed as soon as practicable to
he tenement lately occupied by Mr.
Chandler in the Hendry block. Orders
pertaining both to removal and lining
up the new postotticc have been received
Irom he.idqu.-irteis, and the work ot
preparation and fitting up will be at
once undertaken. At no tune iiilhcposl
ollicc history of Ashcvillc have adverse
interests, so far as involves locality, been
so exactly reconciled. The new locality
is absolutely central to all parts; for the
enlargement of area and population of
the city has been effected with apparently
predetermined symmetry and cqunlilv.
While some private interests may be
prejudiced by the removal, or subserved,
as the case may be, the general interest is
paramount, and, in this case, has been
r.-gai dcd.
We are glad the long mooted question
has been so equitably adjusted.

A gcntleinnii who owns some houses
iu the outskirts of the city, not at present
occupied, complains that certain persons
ostensibly engaged iu shooting bats,
which, according to all natural laws.
should not be out so early in thecvening,
or if thev arc bull hats, should be at this
time iu lhe tropics, amuse themselves by
shooting into the windows of the vacant
houses and shattering the glass. We
know of no appeal except to the law;
since those who cannot be restrained bv
their own sense of propriety or regard
for lhe rights of others can only be con
trolled by the strong arm of the law.

One McluturlV, of Yancey county,
was committed to jail here on the charge
of displacing tobacco on the floor of the
Banner warehouse. Tobacco is every
where guarded with exact scrupulous
ness, in the barn and on the warehouse
oors. It is a thing, if removed from
rightful ownership, almost incapable of
identification, and its safely depends
largelv upon public honor or the terrors
ifthe law. It is an offence as deadly iu
the tobacco world as stealing a horse in
Texas.

There were large sales at both the Ban

and the prices paid were fine.
Among the houses recently built on
Chestnut street, we spokeof two built by
Mr. McAfee. We arc advised that we
were wrongly informed. Those referred

"Forecasts" postponed the evil dnv as
far as possible. The beautiful weather
was to close on Tuesday night, then an
other announcement put it off until
Wednesday night, then again until
Thursday night. We are much inclined
to think from the looks of the sky last

A KAMHLE AJKINIi NEW AND
IMPORTANT F A C TO It I ICS.
Mr. DeiueuH' Splendid IMunluu
Mills and Factory on the UunbH
of the French Itroad IIh Ma
chinery, Capacity, Etc.
Editor Citizen : A tew short weeksago
your correspondent attempted todescrife
a ramble through Paris, along the banks
of the river Seine, the noisy Bourse and
grand Louvre; in a word, about Paris,
the most exquisitely beautiful city of the
world.
To-day he wishes to tell you of a walk
on the banks of an equally lovely river,
the French Broad indeed by nature far
more attractive, and requiring only the
development which will conic in time lo
make it the equal of even the river of
France.
What prospect is there of this develop
ment at any early day ' No one nowliv
ing need expect lo sec a city extending
for ten miles ou each side of the French
Broad. No doubt that will hesome day,
and even now alter an absence of only
three months, we notcehangesindicating
life, activity and healthy growth. Hav
ing not yet recovered entirely the use of
our native tongue, wc seek first the soci
ety of a most agreeable Russian gentle
man, who sustains the well known char
acteristic of that nation by exhibiting
marked ability as a linguist, and kindly
helps out our faltering English, and gives
us much pleasant explanation of many
admirable machines with which his fac
tory is tilled. This gentleman is Mr. P.
A. Deniens, successor to the linn of Dc
mcns & Taylor, and seemingly iu all re
flects well qualified lo carry on to suc
cess the large and important business he
lms inaugurated.
The line of this business is tlie manu
facture of doors, blinds, sash, ceiling,
mouldings, counters, mantels, and in
hurt every variety of builders' material.
The plant is well selected, consisting iu
part of an automatic high speed engine,
made by the Taylor MunulncluringConi
panv, of Chanibersluirg, Pa., now run
ning at sixty horse power, bin capable of
loo. It is indeed delightful employment
to watch this noiseless little giant pro
pelling many machines ten times its size,
nd making each many limes more fuss
than that to which thev owe i heir power
f motion.
The next portion most interesting to
us is the dry kiln, of the Sturtcvant pat
ent and capable of thoroughly seasoning
10,000 lect of lumber each day, or twice
that amount it run dav and night. For
this purpose hot air is used, which Mr.
Deniens considers much better than
steam, as steam cured lumber lsniorcaot
to warp after being worked. The tem
perature of the kiln is kept at l'.IO dc-
recs, and most convenient isthearraugc-
mcut for admitting and removing the
Icmber.
In the lactory proper wc note several
admirable machines, all of newest and
most improved device, chiefly bearing the
name of Goodall iV Waters as makers.
Our eye is especially delighted with a
large matching machine, of same make,
which wc are told, and easily believe from
its appearance, is able lo match 2.0(10
feet ot' lumber per hour.
The buildings, which arc almost com
pleted, will be in the centre of a most con
veniently .arranged lumber yard, which
it present contains some (H1,(MM1 feet of
lumber ( about one-lifth of its capacity)
it all kinds that can be hail iu this sec
tion, including pine, oak, chestnut, pop
lar, walnut, cherry, ash, hickory, etc.,
etc., all ol winch is slacked in a neat and
systematic manner, showing that it has
been handled bv those who appreciate its
lue and realize the wisdom of avoiding
waste.
Mr. Deniens is now engaged in making
the material needed lor finishing his own
buildings, and expects in a week's lime
to be rcadv to take orders.
Knowing that Till-: Citizicn is alwavs
most happy when it can chronicle sonic
new and solid business as started in our
town, your conespondciit hopes thai
these facts may not be devoid ol interest
to ou and your readers. p.
Where We tiet Our lirupcs,
Passing by the bountifully supplied and
beaulilully arranged fruit stand of Mr.
Barker ou South Main street yesterday
afternoon our eye was arrested by the
abundant display of fresh Catawba
grapes, ("poll inquiry, wc learned that
they were from Sandusky, Ohio, and then
we fell to thinking what a great country
this was, and how well equipped Ashe
villc was to profit by its greatness, even
iu the small matter of grajics. We re
membered that more than liiree months
ago our supplies of that fruit began to
creep in upon us from middle Georgia.
By the time they ceased to be a costly
luxury, South Carolina began to put iu
her supplies. Then the counties iu our
State just across the mountains came
to our aid and supplied us until our own
vineyards made us independent. Then
the tide began to recede, and then it lie
gnu to pour in, but from the opposite di
rection, Richmo d, and then Baltimore
meeting on wants. Then there was an
other lull, and then far off Sandusky
I pours in her abundance. When she is
j exhausted, then California will take
' up the talc, and from her pcrciiimil
stores furnish us with grapes until the
year rolls round, and from an opposite
! side of the continent and almost opposite
I side of the compass, Georgia will again
j begin the annual circuit..
