Death of Alice Cary.

NEw YORK, F,b. 13.-Alice Cary, the
well known pOetess, died in this city
yesterday morning, aged 80 years. Miss
Cary has been an invalid many years, and
the disease to which she finally sue
cumbed was her constant companion for
eighteen months, during most of which
time her suffering were very severe.
In spite of this, however, her contribu-
tons to the press were frequent, con-
tanning no hint or flavor of illness. Her
funeral will take place to morrow from
the Church of the Stragers.
SaWdusI and Brass,
The American Merchants Union EX-
press Company having refused to deliver
packages to the saTdust counterfeit
greenback scoundrels, the swindlers now
say in their circulars, pair )nize some other
company, even if you have to walk 800
miles to do so. The United States aud
Adams Express Compsnys will probably
adopt the example IF the American Mer-
chants Union Company, which will prac-
tically end this system of rascality.
Fenian Harmony.
The United Irishmen, of this city, and
the Celtic Club, of Washington, have
signified a willingness to cooperate with
the Fenian exiles in advancing Irish ma
tional interests.
The plan of a convention is not ap-
proved, and it is proposed that the exiles
at once assume the dictatorship of such
societies as are willing to unite under their
auspices.
John Savage has resigned his position
as Head Centre of the Fenian Broth er-
hood.
The National Finances.
A dispatch from Washington says,
should the favorable prospects of the
new loan continue, that in less than a
month all classes of United States securi-
ties will have reached an enhanced value.
The Worlds financial article this morn
leg SAYS that the appointment of high
commission by the United States and Great
B. itain to settle the Alabama claims and
other questions, had the effect of giving
an improved tone of confidence in inan-
cisl circles, and the abundance of loan
able funds and the prospects of Boutwell,
receiving Subscriptions to the new loan
and carrying out his programme of fund
ing the 20 bonds, have given powerful
stimulant to investment in Government
bonds and other frst-clsss securities. An
impression is gaining ground that affairs
will improve both here and In Europe,
and capitalists are more disposed to make
investments.
