CHARLESTON MARKET.


CHARLESTON, Sept H.
COttoa-There has been a slight improve
ment in the demand for this article during
the week Just brought to a close, but so far as
the general features of the market are con-
cerned, we have no new feature to notice
The transactions have extended to ] 100 bales,
and the receipts in the same time reach about
2l65 bales Prices have ranged from 81 to
lie. The good middling and middling fair
qualities are quoted at l0f lie.
CorH-The receipts since our last may be
put down at fully 10000 bushels, which have
been sold at prices ranging from 60 to CSC
per bushol. We would here remark, howev-
err that the stock is very large-say 20 a
10, 900 bushels-and even q moderate addi-
ton to this supply would, doubtless reduce
prices below these rates.
OdtS-Thc receipts since our last comprise
some 5000 bushels, 5000 of which came TO a
dealer The balance was sold at As n 47c,
which shows decline of 3 a ic per bushel on
previous transactions.
Bdcon-The stock on sale is very light; the
demand, however, at the same time has been
limited. The transactions show a higher
range of prices than were obtained the pre-
vious week-hams l3c; shoulders SC; sides
a 94c.
Lasd--we have. no transactions to report in
this article. We quote III l2tc.

~ A horrible murder was perpetrated
on Wednesday night, at Sherburne, Mass,
upon the persons Of Reuben Cousins, aged
seventy years, and his wife, by man named
John Chapman. The villain first called
Cousins to the door and murdered him with
an axe, and then killed Mrs. Cousins, and at
tempted the life of a laborer who was in bed.
The latter gave the alarm, when the murder
er fled. The whole village started forth in
pursuit of the murderer. Cousins was re-
ported to have a large amount of money in
his house.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Carl Marx" sums up the
Eastern question thus:
"The Car is separating, one after another
the remOtest members of the Ottoman En-
pire from its main body, till at last Constan
tinOple, the heart, must cease to beat. He
repeats his periodical nvasions as often as he
thinks his designs on Turkey endangered by
the apparent consolidation of the Turkish
government, or by the more dangerous symp-
toms of self-emancIpation manifest amongst
the Sclavonians.
The Western Powers, on the other hand
inconsistent, pusianimous, suspecting each
other, commence by encouraging the Sultan
to resist the Car, from fear of the encroach-
ments of Russia, and terminate by compel.
ling the former to yield, from fear of gen
eral revolution. Too impotcnt and too timid
to undertake the reconstruction of the Otto,
man Empire by the establishment of Greek
empire, or Of a Federal Republic of Sclavon-
ic States, all they aim at is to maintain the
status quo i. e., the state of putrelaction
which forbids the Sultan to emancpate him
self from the Car, and the Sclavonians to
emancipate themselves from the Sultan"
To conclude with the bold speculation OF
20. f. d." of the Boston Journal:
"The Emperors of Russia from the time
of Katherine have, empirc-ward, taken steps
forward, not one back. Before the proper
tons of the giant are complete, Russia must
and tciH possess Turkey in Europe and Asia.
She will find her New Orleans in CONSTANT
nope, her Texas in Asia Minor, and her
Mexico in Persia.
Louis Napoleon is aggrandizing France by
commerce, manufactures, and by natural pro-
duets. He wants new provinces for France.
Can he get what he lacks! Yes. He can
and will find his ConstantinopIc and New
Orleans in Alexandria; his Asia Minor and
Louisiana in Egypt; his Texas and Persia in
Syria, and his Panama in Suez.
Mark my words, Europe vii! neither be-
come Republican nor Cossack; but the hor-
ses of the Cossacks and of the French dra-
goons will drink together in peace in the RI
yer Euphrates.
What of England all this timer She sees
well into the future. She knows that she
cannot arrest the progress of Russia and
France Asia-ward She will give free trade
with all the world to India, and upon this
score as we'll as upon others place the United
States lovingly by her side, and thus limit
the designs Of Russia and France to the
Affrhanistan mountains and the Persian Gulf,
and, prompted by good policy, these latter
Powers will open, respectively, the Black
Sea and the lsthmus of Suck to universal
commerce"
"England, Russia and France have their
world wide missions to fulfil as well as the
United States New countries must be con-

VIRGINIA GIRLs.-The Richmond Enqui-
rcr of recent date contains the following
notice of Virginia girl, or, in its own Ian
guage, meritorious lady of our acquaintance
in Hanover county:
At the age of twenty she was hearty,
rosy-cheeked lass, full of life and industry
Seeing prospect of making Il disconsolate
bachelor as happy as herself, she acquired
piece of land, with the view of having a
local habitation.' A house was the next
thing Indispensable to her laudabe ambition.
She shouldered her axe, went to the woods,
feIled trees with her own hands, chopped the
logs for the building, made shingles to cover
it, nailed them on, and finished the house by
lathing and plastenng it herself In short
time thereafter she met, she saw, and con-
quered deserving and industrious young
man residing in her neighborhood. They
were married, and the young couple com
menced their married life in the neat cottage,
the fruit of the wife's industry and the
work of her own hands. All this occurred
about the year 1885. Time has advanced,
and she is now the happy mother of thirteen
children, Uhe youngest five months old,) and
he the happy and prosperous husband OF Il
most Industrious and estimable lady. What
is it woman cannot accomplish when with
earnestness she undertakes the task"

drunk, lying on a bed, child two or three
years old lying dead beside her, all shriveled
and cramped, and another child four or five
years old crawling over the mother and cry
ing at the top of its voice for something to

the public printing of California, for the year

than $2lS,0O0, and with some contingent
items will probably swell to quarter million
dollars A glorious comment--a running

BEREAVEMENT OF THE LIVER.

BEREAVEMENT OF THE LIVER,
Is'one of the most common, as well as the
most formidable of diseases known to Ameri-
can physicians 1t had for years attracted
the closest attention of the medical faculty
in all parts of the United States, and yet up
to the time of the discovery of DIR. McLane's
great Specific, it was almost beyond the
reach Of Medical skill. Thousar DIS had per.
ished without even hope of relief, and al
though thousands may yet be destined to feel
the dreadful effects of this most complicated
disease, it is now thanks to the research of
DIR. MLane, most completely brought within
the scope of medical control. The proprie-
tors of the Liver Pills feel confident that they
offer remedy which has been fully tested by
time, and which has never failed of success
when fairly tried.
