HContraction is about as likely to
delay resumption OF specie payments as
it Is to hasten it. II the contraction be
sudden and severe, it will cause such
general disaster to business rs to send
the premium on gold up and keep it up,
rather than to cause it to disappear.
The only absolutely certain effect of
contraction will be hard times.

R That the Republican leaders have
become thoroughly alarmed at the direc-
ton public opinion is taking on the cur.
rency question, is perfectly obvious to
every one who reads Republican newspa-
pers; The testimony from all parts OF
the State, proving that the more. promi-

more they would be beaten, became IRE
sistabe. Asaresult they were driven to
the pe,ilous exDedient of changing front
in presence of the enemy. Defeated and
forced back from the position they select

Nothingism.
And now, to ada TO their dismay, here
comes the New York Tribune, which has
been the Goliath Of Gath among the con-
traction Philistines, and in l)ui voice
warns them that their last condition i.
worse than their first.

It's believed that the growing crop
will prove to be somewhat inferior in
quality IF this be true, there will be an
unusual margin between the higher and
the lower grades, and the best qualities Of
tobacco should bring very good prices.
Much of the tobacco now in Baltimore
is inferior, and the finer grades of the
present crop to be sent there, will find a
tolerably bare market Thecropof last

The Penalty Of marrying an Actress

New York Graphic London letter.
The Duchess OF Cambridge is very i'll,
and her death is expected. This is the
mother of the Duke of Cambridge, who
is Gfty.fve years old, and who, although
married and the father OF several child
rem, is not permitted to speak Of his
wife nor of his children to the Queen.
He married beneath him., that is, he
married an actress, and violated the
royal code in so doing. The Duchess is
The aunt Of the Queen, and she is the
last survivor of the family children by
birth or marriage) of George III. She
is in her seventy. eighth year, and was
married not less than fifty-six years ago
to by no means youthful husband.
The then Duke of Cambridge and sew
eral of his brothers took wives about the
same time, in consequence of the death
of Princess Charlotte, and in the hope
that each one of them might prove
father to England's future sovereign. In
that hope the Duke OF Clarence was dis
appointed, but us both the Duke oi
Kent and the Duke of Cumberland
we're senior to the Duke of Cambridge
the marriage of the last named Prince
was of no advantage so far as the special
object ia view was concerned. He had
three children a sou, the present Duke,
commander in chiet OF the army aud
two daughters-one the wife of the
hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
Strelitz, the other married to the Duke
of Teck.

Diseased Oranges.


From the New Orleans Picayune.l
Lovers of the orange have for several
years past noticed the peculiar discolora-
ton on the riud of the Louisiana oran-
ges, and have doubtless observed that it
seems to be gradully on the increase.
This diseolorstion, it appears, is dis
ease, which only attacks, however, the
outer skin Of the fruit; the inside por-
ton of the orange remaining as pure
and golden as ever. 1t was FIRST noticed
upon the Havana orange, about eight
years ago, but dealers here report that
the oranges from the island are now
rapidly being freed from the disease.
The Louisiana fruit was FIRST attacked
with this peculiar discolcration about
four years ago, the discolOration first
manifesting itselfin Plaquemines Parish,
since which time it has been gradually
working up the river and over into the
Lafourcbe and Teche districts. 1t is
probable that the disease may remain in
certain portions of our State for several
years to come-that is to say, that in
those portions where it has just made its
appearance it will very likely remain for
several seasons. Upon those planta'
tions where the disease first appeared
the fruit this season ripened almost en-
tirely free from it,
