OBITUARY.

DIED, at the residence of L. S. AL
fred. in Washington county, Va. ON
The 2lst of April, 1874. GORDON j.
WILLIAMS, oldest son of James b
aud Lydia NJ. Williams, formerly Of
Giles county, Va. The deceased was
foe seve. al years resident of Bristol,
where he was we'll known and had
many friends. Soon after his return
10 the country in 1871 he became the
victim of disease, from which he be-
came a chronic sufferer, and from
which he had never had any material
relief, and though fatal termination
had long been feared, yet his friends
were shocked by his death. For the
very deiiberation with which disease
often does its work ofeXecution often
cXcites hopes that are as deceptive as
they are groundless. During the war
the fellow soldiers of the deceased gave
him the snbriquet of Morgan, n
name by which. in This locality, he
was almost exclusively known. There
was in him fountain of almost mex
haastihle humor, ami whatever may
have been the frailties, which with
other men he shared, there was TO his
peculiar nature kindly and
generous side, which was never
turned from those he knew.
The dark extinguisher of individual
history, has drawn about him the cur
tain of that twilight which mnst soon
be followed by the night which event
ually overtakes all mankind, and we
would lay the turf of our valleys soft
~ above him, trusting that i'll tho
cool reflections of n life temDered bV
sought the light which follows man
even where his fellows refused to so.

New Revised Edition

THE work originally published under the title of

1863 since which time the wide circulation which
it has attained in all parts of the United States,

A Relic OF the Olden Time.

The Valne of sunfiowers.

In the first place, the flowers abound
in honey, and furnish food for the
lees. The seeds contain oleaginous
matter and yield oil at the rate of one
gallon to the bushel, which is but little
inferior to olive oil. One acre will
produce fly bushels of seed. 1t is
also valuable food for horses and poul-
try. It has been used for bread 10y the
American Indians and also i'm Portu-
gal. The leaves are excellent for cat
tie. The stalks while they are grow
ing may be utilized as bean poles where
they are scarce and difficult to be OBJ
tained, and dry may be used as roofing
or set up against the fence to form a
wind break. They contain q large
amount of potash, and are excellent
for kindling. The seed has also been
recommended for fuel. The reputa-
ton of the growing sun-hower to ab-
sorb miasmatic vapors and preventing
fever and ague is we'll known.

NEW EXPEDIENTS.
What is Now Proposed to Re-
ilcve the Financial Pressure

WASHINGTON, April 23,-The Wes-
tern inilatiOnists are determined that,
if they can get no additional currency.
the Redistribution act of 1870 shall
be put in force. or they will "know the
reason why" Two resolutions on the
suhicct were offered i'm the House to-
day, one by Mr.. Neal, of Ohio, direct
ing the Banking and Currency Com
mittee 10 inquire and report why the
Sd, 000, 600 have not been withdrawn
from the Slate i'm excess, rs the law
requires and the other by Mr. Beck,
calling on the Treasury for informa-
ton as to how much of the additional
S54 ,000,000 authorized by the act of
1870 has been applied for, and how
many applications for currency are
pending or have been refused. Both
resolutions were referred. Unless the
Free Banking till should yet pass.
with some provisions for the retire
ment of greenbacks, which now looks
possible, the Eastern banks, which
would lose eli EQUATION by the opera
ton of the redistribution law, might
as well get ready for the reduction, for
il VIII certainly come.
Mr.. Kasson will, on Monday next,
ask the House To suspend the rules and
pass a currency bill similar to that re-
ported from the Senate Committee on
Finance about the LIST of February.
and OH which tie Senate spent so
much time in discussion. 1t simply
provides the machinery for rcdisCribu-
! ting SD, 900, 600 for bank currency,
which it is proposed to withdraw from
the East and give to the West and
