TEE GRANGRns, AND THE CRAsu.-
Some OF our exchanges are inclined to
blame tho granskrs for much of the
trouble that has befallen the money
market Of late. Tie Eusning Express.
in rather 1saroastio tone. thus speaks:
IF. the farmers want to get posses
sion OF the railroads at o cheap rate,
now Is thsir. time. Since the beginning
Of the rebellion. railroad stocks and
b9nds have not been 80 low, and the
fall liz from twenty to fifty per cent.
Such opportunities for investment have
rarely. If ever, been seen before, aud if
it were not tantalizing to ask people to
buy who have no spare money, we
would insist that the Patrons of Hus-
bandry at onoe take possession of the
railroads Of the country"
e the crash is at all attributable to the
Patrons Of Husbandry. they "bnildad
better than they knew" The fact is,
the grange movement was only one of
many incidental causes compelling the
inevitable collapse Of the Jay Cooke bal.

TIE TnoUBLE on THE PoLAEls. The
Now York Tribune in publishing several
letters concerning the discomfort on the
Polaris. says:
"The information given by Inspector
Smith, OF the Danish ship Thor wnldsen,
to the officers Of the Juniata, confirm
the statements previously made concern.
ing the disagreements on board the Po.
laris. at Upernavik the statement was
current that the trouble was caused by
Burlington; but Inspector Smith un-
equlvocally asserts that it was caused
by DR.. Bessels, who was jealous of the
donors which Hall might reap by the
expedition. 1t seems, however, that
Bessels, Meyer aud Buddington united
to foment the difficulties. whatever may
have been their origin, and that the
failuro Of the expedition was largely
due to their discontent. The whole OF
this disgracefdl quarrel should be made
the subject of rigid investigation as
soon as the portion of the crew lately
rescued returns to this country, and the
cnlprits should be severely punished.
Mutiny or insubordination on an ex-
pedition like that of the Polaris is alto.
gether unpardonable."

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MERCHANT IN
VIkdIN1A.-Mr. Philip August. ono Of
our Oldest merchants aud best known
citizens, died peacefully, after long
illness, ut his residence on Broad near
First street, yesterday afternoon. He
Was born ut point.a. .Pctre, Island of
Guadalupe, West Indies, on the Goth
day of June, 1889, and was, therefore,
in the eighty fifth year OF his age. He
came to America during tho war of
lSl2, and settled III Alexandria, where
he engaged in the tobacco business.
From Alexandria he removed to Fre,ler-
icksburg. and there spent thirteen years
IN mercantile pursuits. Iu 1927, Mr..
August came to Richmond and went
into the grocery business. A quarter OF
u century ngo, his name was famous in
connection with "August's Blacking," "
of which he was the inventor and manu-.
facturer, md which was sold in large
quantities in Virginia and adjoining
States. He was probably the oldest
merchant in this Stnte, having been il
business for about sixty.one years

Observation-Disclosures never blush,
although monkeys rcddcn from passion.
We cannot produce blushing by any
physical means; it is the mind which
must be affected and blushing is not
only involuntary, but the wish to re-
strain it increases the tendency. While
the young blush more freely than the
old. infants do not blush; women
blush more than men; the blind and
deaf do not escape. 1t is usually the
face, ears and neck only that rcdden !;
the blush does not extend over the
body; but certain races who go habit
ually nearly naked blush over their
arms and chests, and even down to
their waists. The limitation of blush
ing to exposed parts is explained by the
fact that these portions Of the surface
have been habitually exposed to the
air, light and alterations Of tcmpera:
turc, by which the small arteries ac-
quire the habit Of readily dilating or
contracting. Hindoos blush but little ;
the Chinese rarely blush; the Polyne-
SLAMS blush freely; the young squaw
Of the American tribes has been seen
to blush the katlirs Of South Africa
never blush; neither do the Austria
l;ans.

-; Tho debt on this Institute ions jss the
only one on; any Of the propsrt " owned
by, tho South ,Carolina Conference.
This Year 1879 has been designated
as the time within whicn tlhat ivfbt
should be paid, and this Is necessary
to- discharge the obligation Of tho
Trustees which was assumed in order
to secure the rcopening Of the College
the first of the year. To secure the
liquidation Of this debt, and otherwise
serve the interests Of the College, an
Agent was asked for and was given.
How this Agent has dono and shall
have dono tho york assigned, will ap-
pear more fully at the ensuing session
Of the Conference in December. The
patronage Of the College has been and
promises to be most gratifying. Though
the larger end Of that sold debt" re-
mains yet to be disposed of, tho Agent
is persuaded that with few hours aid
from the preachers Of the Conference,
and then a few moro hours aid from
the members Of the church, the debt
will be fully disposed Of by the 10Th
Of December.
1t is not possible for the Agent to be
at all eligible points before Conference,
or before the money season shall have
passed. He therefore earnestly re-
quests each preacher to bring this
claim before each church so far as to
appoint an efficient co-ogent to pork
in that church and community to Sc
cure aid to pay the debt. This aid can
be given, l. In cash donation. Q. In
subscription to be paid by Confer
cnce, or 3. BY taking one or more of
the one hundred and fifty Bonds Of
the College. These Bonds arc each
one hundred dollars and are secured
by all endorsed mortgage OH each
bond of insured property worth three
lines the amount Of the bonds. No
better paper than these bonds could be
desired by the most careful. These
Bonds arc payable in fire gears
without intcrcst-thc interest is all
that is asked to be given. ANY
bond, not promptly paid when due,
goes OH interest Mt one per cent a
month until it is paid. When the
Agent receives the money for bond,
then the bond is handed over or
promptly expressed to such friend.
Will tho brethren and friends give the
attention asked for? If it were pracH-
cable for the Agent to do it himself,
he would not ask for help. The Col
lege is the property Of the Church,
it is now OH its legitimate mission, and
is doing under President Jones, great
work i'll educating the daughters OF
tho country; the debt is sadly in the
way Of the free and successful work
ing of the College. the money to pay
the debt is or soon will be in the
country. Now if the good brethren and
friends will join the Agent as suggest
ed, the money will, it is believed, be on
hand in time and the College will be
relieved. SlpI II. BRowSE,

The OARPET-BAG DEBTS. 1t mhy yap-
pear an untoward time Ijust now for any
discussion of the. proposed assumption
Of the reconstructed debts Of the South
by the Federal Government, but from
the subjoined article, it appears thast the
project is still entertained, though IN
some details there has been change OF
plan. The Buffalo Courier says: '7I
We confess to having been slow to
believe that formidable attempt could
be made next winter to force through
Congress bill for the assumption OF
the Southern 6tates debts By the Fede.
raj Government. But there now seems
to be no doubt that very formidable
combination OF interests has been made
for that purpose, and it is much more
likely to grow stronger than weaker.
There is great deal OF ''money in it,"
aud it is backed by the same powerful
carpet bag influence which has long
been in the ascendant. The existence Of
the spurious governments in the South
ern States depends on their being able
to eyade the natural retribution for the
extravagant and infamous debts they
havo created for the purpose Of enrioh.
ing their leading members. Unless the
Congressional scheme can be carried,
recourre must be had to taxation, and
the truth of the saying that if you touch
q mans pocket it has wonderful effect
in enlightening his understanding, will
be strikingly exemplifed.
When such politicians as thoseswho
rule in the Southern States, and have
hitherto ruled in Massachu usetts, are sup.
ported by the immense power and De.
tronage of the Federal Government, the
success of the scheme is by no means
improbable. It is likely the business
will be approached cautiously, and in
such way that the, public mind may
not be alarmed. The process is some.
thing like that OF catching and saddline
a shy horse. Probably the design may
be covered up by asking tho Federal
guarantee for payment of interest on
the Southern State bonds. Thus the
real design would be in part hidden,
but the value of the bonds would at
once be ruised to par, and thus put
about Sl00, 000,0OO into the pockets OF
''the ring" No doubt some feeble con.
ditions would be imposed for reimburs.

THE LARGEST CLocx.- There is a
wonderful variety in the size and ap-
pearance Of the contrivnnccs by which
we measure time. An ingenious Swiss
matchmaker contrivcd tiny watch,
which was worn in the finger ring Of
an empress, and was but half al inch
in diameter, while the wayfarcr in the
streets Of London tells the time by
looking up to the immense dial Of the
clock on the Parliament House, no less
than twenty-five feet across its face.
There arc four Of these dials, and the
huge minutc-hands take a leap Of seven
inches every half minute. When it
strikes tho hour, the four hundred
pound hammer calls out the heavy
tones Of bell weighing fifteen tons,
and eight feet in height. The pendulum
is full fifteen feet in length. TO wind
up this huge clock requires two hours
hard labor.

q century since means have been taken
to protect it against error by ,aesocia-

who took prominent part in the late
