Much excitement exists among the noun

The Clarksville Tobacco Leaf of the 22d
inst, says: The general complaint with the
farmers is that their tobacco is so very
large, that it is difficult to handle and in
convenient to house. This creates another
difficulty. The stem is very large and full
of sap, the danger of burning, will deter
many from firing it sufficiently to prevent
house burning The necessary probation
is not to crowd it in the house and give
special attention to firing.
The Cleveland Banner of the 22d inst,
has the following: The wheat market gets
no better fast Ninety cents for red and
one dollar for white is the top of the mar
ket, AAd but few buyers at these prices. In
Atlanta white only commands LILO to l. 10
cents per bushel, while red is selling at
LOO, and the market dull. This does not
indicate that the price will appreciate much
for some time to come.

It is fondly hoped by a few good old peo-

Louis Philippe, who was the last King of
France. and who was deposed by the es-

in 1s48, is the Count of Paris, his grand
son. who was born in 1888, and married
to a daughter of the Spanish Duke of
Montpensier in 1864. He was with our
army, for time, during the war, against
the rebellion, and is a clever enough fel-

unfit to be king. He represents the Or
