IT is cheering for the Gentiles to
know that the four oppressed wives
of Elder Cannon, Of Utah, stepped up
to the polls and voted for him at the
late election. The Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI thinks thegentle Gentle reformers
who have gone out there with Bible
IN one hand and bottlcof whisky in
the other, for the purpose Of conyinc-
ing the MormUns Of the error Of their
ways, will have to change their tactics.
The list of hotel arrivals in New
York indicates an early opening of the
fall trade. AS the recent embarrass-
ment of Patton & Co. resulted from
difficulties in making Western and
Southern collections, it was feared that
this experience was general, but the
Tribune states that inquiry established
the encouraging fact that collections
generally were never easier.
THAT sterling Democratic paper, the
Manchester N. H Union, in au edito-
rial commenting on a pretended inter-
view of the correspondent of the Gin
cianati Commercial with Hon. Ben
Hill and Gov. Smith, of Georgia, on
the third term nonsense, says:
':We must remind these Georgianso Of
one little difficulty: They cannot pos
sibly elect Mr. Grant for third-term,
for the reason that. if the conditions
are such that Georgia can support
hun. he cannot get the Northern Re-
publican vote, and under no conditions
could get a single Democratic vote.
We do not Just now think of but one
nan in the world that we would not
support as against Grant, If we should
be driven to that alternative. The
zy5oner Southern Democrats stop this
nonsense, the better"

elry which for beauty Of material and de.
sign can scarcely be surpassed. The set
CONSISTS Of bracelets, eai-rings,. land hreast-
pin. The chief excellence and value OF
the WHOLE is that 1t is throughout,
North Carolina material. The stones are
agate Of the finest quality so fine indeed
as To approach u higher grade In the classi-
ficetioa of gems than is usually assigned
To agate. They are ofdifierent colors, and
arranged In the setting to display the H.
nest effects Of contrast. The centre stones
o.the bracelets are opalesque, translucent,
aud clnuirtl with semi OPAQUE spots. The
other stones are brownisli, somewhat APP
preaching reddish hue. all translucent.
The stones were found In Orange C0uii-
~, Within three or four miles OF fIilsboro,
and were sent by the present owner 70
New York TO be cut, and mounted, which
was beautifully done in thepiirvst North
Carolina gold, the whole forming a series
Of ornaments which would not discredit
the person OF royalty itself.
