BABY SHOWS.

The Sun, which has always been a
determined opponent to Baby Shows"
says that the geographical route taken
by the baby show mania is now so
we'll defined that it becomes easy to
compute its ephemeris. and to warn
distant communities OF its approach.
It's general line of advance is south
westerly, attacking chiefly the coast
wise cities of the Atlantic seaboard.
Starting at Boston,, a few weeks since.
1t spread to New York, whence, throw
ing out q branch at Brooklyn, it
moved ON to Newark, struck Philadel-
phia yesterday, and is announced def
nitely at Baltimore for the last of this
week. OF course, therefore. its ap-
psarancs at Washington, Richmond
and Charleston q be easily forecast,
unless, instead, it should suddenly
dart Oh its courae through the Blue
Ridge, and ravage the West, beginning
with Cincinnati. We are half inclined
to think that this last may grove its
rue route. as the Southern seaboard
cities have = substitute, or preventive,
now in = few days due, in the form OF
the Hayes show, which will answe all
the purposes Of the baby show, and
hence may keep the latter Oh.

Notwithstanding the ISLANDERS OF q
portion of the partisan press of the
country, that educational interests are
woefully neglected in the South, the
State Of Texas has just laid the founda-
ton OF the most magnificent school
fund Of any of the States of the Union.
The scheme is grandly liberal, and
will be ample for the education of all
the children Of the State. 1t gives. for
the purpose Of constituting a perma-
nent fund, all the alternate sections OF
land reserved out Of grants heretofore
made. or that may her eater be made
70 railroads, etc.; also one half of the
public domain of the State, and all
money that may come to the State
from any portion of the same. 1t also
sets apart, annually, not moro than
~one-fourth Of the general revenue Of
the State, and a poll-tax OF one dollar
upon each male inhabitant between
the ages Of 81 and go years, for the
benefit OF the public schools. In Au.
gust, 1870, the permanent school fund
amounted to $685. 81 currency, and
S,030,652 95 In bonds. In addition tc
this, the school fund has about 5000.
900 Of acres Of alternate sections of land
located by railroad and other compa'

THE SILVER AGITATION.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Is

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
One important phase Of the silver
question, which has hitherto escaped
notice, is the abolition OF the trade
dollar. There are two reason for
this. The thoroughly soft metal man
does not want sill yer coined for export,
but for home consumption, and, in
case the minis continue to coin trade
dollars, the operation will interfere
with the rapidity with which they "a
coin the new dollar. In addition to
this, the Secretary of the Treasury is
strongly Of the opinion that the trade
DALAI will be remonetized. He recon-
| mended this in his report, and will ex-
ert his influence with Congress vigor-
ously in this direction. Little has
been said in regard to the abolition of
the trade dollar, in fear that it would
divide the present support accorded 10
the Bland bill, but plans are laid for
the repeal of the act authorizing the
| coinage of the trade dollart to follow the
passage of the Silver bill by the Senate,
where an effort will be made to put
shape, and to send it to the President
without returning 1t to the House.
| The cost to the Government of the free
coinage proposed by the bill is stated
at the Mint Bureau at about 81 800 a
day, or $40, 900 a year. Both sides
admit that the count of the silver vote
in the Senate will be exceedingly close.
In case of a Presidential veto. the op
ponents Of the bill claim twenty-six
votes, exactly enough to sustain a veto
with Sharon away. The full vote is
exactly seventy five. If there are
twenty five Senators to sustain a veto,
this would make a tie, and the Vice
President could vote, the same as if the
Senate was equally divided.
Crop reports thus far received at the
Depot Of Agriculture, and which will
be compiled and published, indicate
that the wheat crop of the country for
1877, was about $50 600, 900 bushels, or
about 50,0 o 900 bushels greater than
for any previous year. The corr crop
il estimated, from the same report, at
300, OOO. 900 bushels. Crops of oats
and potatoes are correspondingly large.
| OF wheat. it is estimated that lie, 900,
600 bushels can be spared for export.

STATE HONEY.

The sworn statement Of the Board
Of Examiners regarding the condition
Of the State Treasury appears in a late
number of the Carson Tribune. The
examination was made by Attorney
General Kittrell and Secretary Of State
Minor. They found in coin and coin
vouchers, s6l5.100 90; currency aud
currency vouchers, s30,957 %; Nevada,
California and United States bonds,
s56i 500; grand total, s~l.2lo,557 50.
This Is a vast sum, and the accumula-
ton must 20 on yet another year.
When we said, some months ago, that
the amount in the Treasury at the
meeting of the next Legislature would
approximate 1900, 900, our statement
was discredi,ed in certain politically
interested quarters. According TO the
latest official showing, we have already
something near q million and q
quarter, with n year to go
on. It is now probable that
there will be in the vaults of the
State Treasury on January LIST, 1879,
nearer two million dollars than one.
The bonded debt of the State is only a
little over $500, 900, which does not ma
ture and become payable for ten years
lin 1887. There can be no reduction
of taxation for State purposes until the
Legislature meets again. The outlook
must be more than cheering to the
hearts and hopes of the high pressure
advocates. But, maybe, tax payers
will yet awaken to a realization Of the
difference between political buncomb
and economical legislation in the in
eerests of the people.

Shocking Tragedy I'm Virginia.
FARMvILLE, Va, Dec. n.
A shocking tragedy occurred here
to day. Col. Vim. Randolph Berke-

was sitting in his office conversing
with Alfred North, Cashier of the
English and American Bank, when a
knock was heard at the door, and Col.
Berkeley got up to answer it,. On
opening the door, a shot was fired
from without and the Colonel fell
back with a ball in his temple. I'm
mediateIy afterward Captain VIM III.
Kennedy entered the office, and step
ping behind Col. Berkeley's desk,
placed a pistol 10 his own head and
fired. Mr.. North says all he heard was
a remark by Captain Kennedy as he
fired, which intimated that he had
some grievance against the Colonel.
1t is stated that Kennedy had made
three previous attempts on his own
life. and for a long time had been in a
moody and respondent condition.
Col. Berkeley died instantly. He
leaves a large family. Kennedy still
lives, but there is no hope of his re-
covery.

A leading object in the appointment

tive statement of facts which would
enable people to judge intelligently in
regard to some vital questions now
pressing for decision. The following
statement, made by the Commission,
in regard to the worlds production of
silver. is widely different from the
general impression:
"Iu 1SOS, according to Humboldt. the
annual silver production of Mexico
and the countries south of il was
G. .071 ,S3l. During the period from
1909 to 1929, in consequence OF the rev.

annual average of f3, lO9 1900. Az has
been seen. it subsequently advanced TO
an annual average of f6. 900 900, and
stands now at about e., ZOO, 900. The
annual average yield of silver
in the United States during the five
years ending with 1875 was so, sos, 900.

country during the five years ending
with 1856, it results that the worlds

A month ago, would you have be-
lieved that of all the many white
girls in the county of Madison, even
one could be found wiling to take
to her bosom as companion for life
any but man of the Caucasian
race? Yet there was one, and q
few days ago she took a black ne
gro for a husband. The parents
were opposed to the marriage, not
thstanding, as we understand.
the black miscegenationist had oft
en- supped and dined and breakfast
ed at their hospitable and social
equality board. and the gay and fes-
tive colored cuss procured car
riage in Jackson, had it driven out
in the country near the residence of
the brides father. The neighbor-
ing niggers assisted in the affair,
and soon the fair bride and ebony
groom were on their way to min
lister and matrimony. They were
married. Sad as the case is, il
can't be helped. They have done
it, and it can't be undone. The
Othello IN this affair is in good
luck, but we cant say the same OF

Coming from such a "bloody-
shirt" organ as the Chicago Tribune
was a few months ago, the the fol
lowing is pretty good: Previous
to the Inauguration of President
Hayes, the number of colored peo-
pie killed each month in the south
for political reasons ran from ten to
a misunderstanding, perhaps, fif-
ty. Since the introduction of the
new policy of peace and friendship
between the two races there have
been no negroes killed for political
reasons; and yet the implacables
are disconnected. What they desire
is liberal destruction of blacks
for the good of the cause of ma
chine and carpetbag politics, and
in order that they may magnify
themselves as champions of the
rights of man. With the cessation
of negro murders the wind is all
knocked out of their sails, and they
denounce Hayes for destroying
their occupation"

Fruit shipments to Europe

Europe is now taking a surpris-
ing quantity Of American fruit.
The purchases have amounted to
over $2,500,000 worth since last
June, compared with 100000 in
the same period the year before.
Dried apples figure largely in this
movement. This country has ex.
ported over 100000 pounds of
them since last June, as compared
with 522, 900 pounds the previous
year. This new addition to the
trade of the United States is due to
invention, which has occupied itself
of late with improved methods Of
drying and preserving, for trans
porting fruit. The greatest prog
ress has been made in the way Of
dryers. Within a year some nota
BILE inventions 10 this line have been
perfected which are a great acquisi-
lion to tae resources of the country.
The frui5 dryer bids fair hereafter
&c be as much necessity to every
farming community as the cider mill
and cheese factory.
