The MISSOURI JANET.

We take great pleasure in bringing this new
apple before the public. The following lisa
correct description: 6ize. above medium;
yellowish white; nearly covered and striped
withred, with bright red cheek on exposed
side; flesh compact, tender. JUICY, with very
rich sub-acid flavor; tree very healthy; fair
grower, and most abundant bearer, keeps until
Nav and June.
We think We DO not overrate this Apple,
when we say that rs market fruit it is des-
| tined to surpass every variety now before the
public, not excepting the Rome Beauty Oh
Smiths Cider. 1t is superior to either in quail
ity Of fruit being much richer ard more high

as long keeper. We are also Informed, by
the gentleman who produced it, that 1t is ua-
equaled by any apple in his possession TO

Nothing new in reference to the Peoples

The following, relative TO the New York
Money and Dry goods market, is from the
Tribune of Thursday morning:
"In Money matters there is no change to
note. The supply on demand is abundant at
| 5Cg6 per cent. on choice collaterals, and first
class paper is scarce and in demand at 6@7
per cent. Leading paper would probably

| deucy of capital formerly employed in the
street to investment in the National loan.
"TheTe we're several large aud attractive
| lines of goods offered to-day under the ham
mer, but there was less spirit and animation
generally. Ribbons of desirable and season.
able styles still meet with ready sale at
| good prices but other descriptions are not
so much in demand, and the sales generally
drag little. The sample lots of Ribbons
| were all taken, and many duplicated were
placed at good and satisfactory prices. The
sale, taken as a whole, was decided success.
Embroideries sold fairly, but there was very
little spirit, and the prices were not up to
previous sales.
"a catalogue of French dress goods and
Sbawls were offered. The Shawls were all
sold, but the other goods were passed in
many instances. The sale was not up to the
previous of these same styles of goods"

a long session at the Bank of Commerce to

to the 7,30 per cent Loan; the delegates from
Boston and Philadelphia being present. Al
far as we are advised the utmost good feeling
prevailed, and there is little question that tht
second $50,0O0,000 will be guaranteed to tht
Treasury under the terms of the required

DEATH OF WILLIE P. MANGuM.-NGIlie P.
Mangum of North Carolina died at his resi-.
dence, in Orange County, in that State, on
Saturday, September 81, at the az Ie of SIXTY
nine years. For some years he had suffered
with paralysis, and it is probab) q that the re-
cent death of his only son, froT a a wound re-
ceived on the field of Manasse s, depressed his
spirit to a point from whi .h he could not
rally. He was born in Oran Ee County, North
Carolina, in 1892, and graz Iuated at the Uni
veTsity of that State in 1915. He studied
law, rose to eminence irl his profession, en-
gagged in politics, and was elected to the
House of Commons in his State in 1918 In
1919 he was elected a Judge of the Superior
Court of North Car olina; and from 1923 to
1926 served as Re preventative in Congress
He was elected United States Senator in
1881, reelected in ls4l, and for third tern
in l64s. In 1887 North Carolina gave hin
her eleven elect' oral votes for the Presidency
of tbs. Union, nd during Tylers Administra
ton he was President of the United State
Senate. HiFI political preference favored tn,
Whig party, but since 1853 he has entirely
abandoneet the political arena and lived il
retirement.

Quiet reigns at Warsaw and Oarrollton,
