Four months ago silver was a drug in the market, it was selling at 80s. per ounce. Tbe Oovertment could in the past six years have bought one hundred and iTt ty millions cf ounces of it atSOo. but the Government nor any one else would buy it, and one hundred and IKty millions of it has been sent to London and there sold in the exchange for about SOc. per ounce and bought by parties who sent it to India to buy cot ton and wheat diametrically in oppo sition to the interest of the cotton plant on of tha South and tho wheat growers of tho Wost. For 11 short lima past silver has been advancing on acoount of the new Silver bill, which v.nt into operation August 13th, uuil t:ow the Government and every one else in the Northern cities is ci.-.moring in their efforts to buy silver at $1.1 i per tuneo.that being the price paid for it by tho Government. The advanon in silver has caused an advance of ! io. per pound on cotton and 30o. per budhel on wheat. Doubtless in u nhort time a further advance in silver will take place, and at soon as it reaches SI. 29 per ounce it will be on a parity with gold. Personal. BIr.

C, Aug. 13, There was a sensational scene on board the northbound Richmond and Danville passenger train near here Nonday tght caused by a very bold attempt to rob the train. This is the first attempt f tho bind ever made in the State, and f course it is creating much excite ment. Lat" Monday evening two very rough and RuspictouB looking fellows ap peared here, How they came or from whut late they hailed no one knows. They inquired about the time of the departure of passenger trains, and asked particularly in regard to the northbound Richmond and Danville passenger train from Atlanta. The two toughs disappeared, but turned up just before the Richmond and Danville northbound train arrived, and purchased tickets to Thomasville, welve miles beyond. When the train came in they glanced at the express oar and then went to the rear car and boarded it. As the train pulled out the two men walked through the cars, taking a good look at the 200 passengers on board. The train stopped three miles out at a wood yard, and one of the men got out of the passenger coach and secreted himself between the baggage and ex press cars at a place where he could easilv gain admission to the express car. The train again started on its journey, but before it had gone three miles the man in the passenger oar reached up and gave the bell cord three jerks, tbe regular signal to stop. Con ductor Morris who ohanoed to be enter ing tbe oar from the rear, seeing the man pull the bell cord, rushed up and demanded an explanation, but the stranger refused to explain, Cant. Morris, remembering that a. tf. Dick, a Federal Judge, was a passenger on the train, at onoe went to him and requested that be arrest the would-be robbers. He bad notioed that the other man was no longer among, the passen gers, and he at onoe conoluded that he could be nowhere else than secreted about the cars for the purpose of rob bery. The oonduotor countermanded signal for the train to stop, and Judge Dick, summoning- a posse of twelve men on board the train, started into the oar to arrest the man. When he. saw the posse coming to ward him he rushed to tbe front plat form.- fired a pistol as a signal for his comrade, and then jumped out into the darkness as the' train was speeding along at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. The otner man also leaped rrom bia biding place, and both escaped From Thomasville a posse went at once to hunt them down, thinking they were undoubtedly badly hurt from jumping, and their capture would be easy, but so far no trace of them bas been found. It is believed they are Members of the notorious Rube Burrows gangj who have perhaps come from Alabama to spend a few weeks of the summer in the moun tains of Western North Carolina, which are famous for good hiding plaoes and moonshine whiskey.

Just at eleven o'olock this morning fire was discovered issuing from the bonded warehouse of tbe Bear Grass Distillery Co., on Stoney Avenue, near Frankfort, in the extreme eastern part of the city The distillery proper caught fire in a moment and before the fire department could get to work the whole establish ment was a roaring furnace ot flames The fire spread to the great western pork house on the eaBt. and from that to the old Kentucky Woolen Mills, one of the largest jeans manufacturing con oerns in the South. Twelve residences on the opposite side of the street have been destroyed Many employees or the distillery had narrow esoapes from the explosion of whisky barrels, whioh exploded like oannon. me names were so hot that it was dffioult to get within one hun dred yards of the fire. Only one person was injured, John smith, a fireman having; his arm broken. The loss to the great Western house is $75,000. The government tax which would have been oollected on the bdrned whisky would have amounted to over 9800,000. fit is1 believed that the loss will aggregate over a million dollars. i' SHIPPING NEWS.

It v no after midnight before a perma nent organization was effected' Wild and exciting scenes characterized its proceedings. Tbe climax was reached at 4:30 this morning, when tbe iulmanite majority adopted a new party constitution, which in ellect rejected the proposition for primary elections to choose delegates to tbe September nominating convention, Tha straightout faction of the con vention consisting of Charleston.

Twilight Reflections. Tiuly, beauty and glory He around lit; it must bo becauee wo are dulled by its continued presence lhat we take so little note of it. Our eyes are so bl inaea oy tne oares ot lit u mat we cannot seo Nature s glories, the oulv thing sin can never mar. Our o;d mother is wonderfully kind hen we woo her properly; she takes s by the hand and leads us into fancy lands of which we have no conception at first. Even here in our town beau ties arc cpread that outrival all the pic- lure galleries of Rome. Pictures by that matchless artist, Nature. f tho doubtful care to tMt this state- ent, let them walk out on tha railroad for n short diatance while evening raws to a close. The sight will fully repay. A stillness lies over all. Low in the west hangs the eun, whilo high over head is a sea of blue. A golden shore stretches all around; ships of free sail see, they aro changed to dragons! and yonder rides a witch on her broom- tick; there! sho u dissolved into shapelesB cloud again. Shapes fantastical and shapes beau tiful come and o. Can any painter do that? What he puts on canvas must remain unchanged. We lazily wonder where Nature eeps her paint-box. Look at that pink cloud with tbe green tree clearly out lined against it, the last rays of sunlight playing on its leaves. Perfect is the only word that can describe this won- erf u 1 Klintiog. The sun has gone, and seo the golden gates bar her return. Truly it is al most like catching sight of the glory beyond to Bee tho.ie golden gates We and look in perfect silence until owly tho glory fades; fainter and fainter grows the pink in the sky; the first star shines and e turn homeward with the conviction that some day we will mount to those wonderful gates of i which these are only a faint fora- hadowing, and never more turn back to the gray of earth.
