away from the companions and scenes
OF the life she was leading. The doctor
was interested in her, aud with that

with her request. He related the cir

ana the two succeeded IN getting her
a home with poor widow lady, in tho

that when she was able she was to assist

she was not, that the doctors were To

HE ALABAMA CLAIMS QuEsTloN
AND THE FALL Leading
republican politicians seem detcrmin-
ed not to allow the Alabama claims
question to remain at rest, but to
make as much capital as possible out
of the attitude assumed by Great Bri :
tain. A movement has heed agreed
upon to have this question become
ono of the leading issues in the next
fall elections, forcing the democratic
party to follow in tho wake of the
republicans and approve their course,
or to take sides at once with the Eng
lish. This plan has been discussed
pretty freely among prominct politi-
cians here, and initial steps are to be
taken in Pennsylvania. Politicians
from that State, including Colonel
Forney and Minister Curtin, are
among its strongest advocates, and
Will endeavor to mako this question
one of the leading planks in the re-
publican platform for their State.
Those who arc directing tho move
ment feel positive that it will prove
successful in materially strengthening
the republican party and produce a
good moral effect. Mr.. Curtin, it is
understood, will take occasion at the
banquet which is to be given him by
the Union League of Philadelphia
previous to bis departure for Russia
to assume decided position on this
question and discuss very fully our
relations with England.
There is good reason to believe that
Senator Sumner is heartily in sympa-
thy with the movement, and approves
the policy Of making tho Alabama
question leading issue at the coming
elections in the various States. While
here Mr.. Curtin had frequent intor-
views with Mr.. Sumner, and the views
OF both as to the proper policy for our
government to pursue arc almost idon-
tlcal.-- Washington Cor. Eventny Post.

The question of our national finan.

upon the management Of that depend
in great measure the present pros
perity and future welfare of tho ooun-

plan for consolidating the whole debt
at a lover rate of interest. The pre-.
sent rate is far too highs usurious,
oppressive and ruinous. Foreign
capitalists now greedily take up our
securities, because Of their compara-
lively low market value and the high
interest they bear. The consequence
is the debt is rapidly going abroad,
with the prospect that soon tho great.

there will bo drain of q hundred

MEssRs. E. o. HALL & Son, have opened
their new brick store at the corner of Fort and
King streets, where we have no doubt they
will continue to serve their customers with
the same courtesy and fairness that has al
ways characterized them. Their store is a fine
one and credit to our town. 1t is pleasant
to see any of our merchants so prosperous as
to be enabled TO erect so fine building for
business, and it is particularly pleasing in this
instance. The idea has, however, suggested
itself to our mind, that our friends might still
further prosper, by availing themselves of the
facilities offered in our columns, for advertis-
ing their select stock of goods more extern
sively.
