THE GRAVE OF GENERAL j. E. B. STUART
HOLLYWOOD IAPRovEMENTs.-Thc monu-
ment over the newly-made grave OF General
Stuart on Chapel Hill, in Hollywood Gene
tery. was visited Sunday by hundreds OF
persons.
In the same section with General Stuart
IS buried his little daughter Flora, who died
at the age Of five years. Heros Won Borcke,
Prussian officer who served on General
Stuart's staff, in his memoirs OF the war
gives very pathetic account OF the recep-
fion OF the news OF the death OF this little
child by her father, by whom she was ten
derly loved.
Chapel Hill, hitherto an unknown spot to
thousands of people, will hereafter De
famous as the resting-place OF the great
Confederate cavalrylnan. tits near the CEN
ire Of the grounds and just west OF the row
of vaults on the avenue leading to Major
Branch's grave.
By the way, great complaint is frequently
heard of the almost impossiblllty OF one
person directing another to q particular
point in Hollywood. The difficulty arises
because the avenues and walks are not
named and lettered. 1t is asserted that $l5o
spent in little tin signs nailed to the trees
and containing names of avenues would re-
move the trouble. The matter is certainly
worthy the attention Of the company. AS
test OF the need of the signs or something OF
the kind, let any one who knows tell another
where John r. Thompson's grave is, anu
let the latter attempt to find 1t without
guide.
A keepers lodge is being erected OF gran
ite at the gate. 1t will be great improve
ment. and is much needed.

agents were passed, and number from each
State offered themselves.
Pending the further consideration OF the
report the Convention took recess to Sis
P. N.
The Convention was called to order at
s:15 O'Clock, and after devotional exercises
the consideration Of the report OF the Com
mittee on Treasurer's Report OF the Home
Mission Board was resumed, and Colonel
B. W. Edwards, OF South Carolina, took
the floor in opposition to the second resolu-
ton.
The resolution was defeated.
H. X. Ellyson, OF Virginia, explained
that the report did not propose to dispense
entirely with paid agents, but merely to ln-
augurate measures looking to that ultimate
end.
Rev. VI. Fl. Davis, Of Georgia, opposed
the resolution on the ground that no in
yidious distinction between the boards
should be made or implied. The Foreign
Board had expended over 81 800 more than
the Home Board, and the reason OF tne
larger Der cent. OF expenses for this Board
is to be found in the fact that their receipts
are smaller. He earnestly urged that the
true remedy is to rally around and sustain
this Board with sympathies, prayers, ana
contributions.
After further discussion by DR.. Winkler,
Of Alabama, and DR.. Jeter, OF virginia, the
resolution was adopted.
The question coming up on the report as
amended, it was further discussed by Colo

Earl Derby,s Defense.

LONDON, September 1l.-Earl Derby re.
ceived two Populations to-day, representing
the w0rkingmens movement, regarding
the atrocities in Bulgaria and peace. Earl
Derby, in bis reply to their address, said he
would not waste time in defending himself
and his colleagues against the various i'm
putations thrown out by many writers and
speakers in the prevailing excitement, but
the imputations had been repeated 80
often that he must allude to them.
The government had been charged
with Indifference to the great crimes com
mitted. All that had been done in diplo
matte matters and in sending fleet to
Besika Bay was done, if not before the out
RACES occurred, at any rate before they
were known. He denied that the govern
ment was in any sense responsible Tor the
outbreak OF fanaticism among the Turkish
population. He described the Ssrvian &C.
ton of the government, and said they had
nothing to unsay which they had said, and
nothing to regret in what they had DONE
If the Turks believed ell Europe
desired to drive them back into
Asia, they would break out IN ex'
cess prompted by revenge and despair:
He believed the conviction that England
desired fair play had done more than any
thing to prevent the war from assuming
the character of religious war, and pre-

provinces instead of in one. England held
no exceptional position in consequence OF the
criminal war which, at its outset, was pushed
mainly by the Emperor of the French. Lord
Derby said he believed it would be e
much q mistake now as formerly
to let the Turkish empire take care OF
itself. The value to us Of its territorial In
tegrity was real and permanent. The last
word on the Eastern question was, "Who
10 to have Constantinopleq" Any attempt
OF partition would be the signal tor

weather has been too hot and dry for the
past month, and not as favorable for the

but the prospects have been greatly dam
aged by rust. The condition Of ths crop is
not good and does not differ materially from
last year, the yield having been much be.
low the average. Picking became general
about the first of September. Worms ap-
peared throughout the State, but on account
Of hot and dry weather did no damage ex-
cept to the top crop on low lands.
