Miss Mary Ann Buie, a lady well
known all over this country as the Con-
federate Soldiers Friend" having been
a t~ireless traveller and an indefatigablc
visitor of the hospitals both North and
South during the late war, died quite sud
denly Of eryslpelas at the residence Of
Mrs. Wood, on Park avenue, on Tuesday
last, where the lady had recently arrived
on a visit from Charleston.-Aiken Jour
nal Of last ceek.
Poor Miss Buiel She was eccentric,
but her kindness of heart was unbounded,
and her devotion 10 her native South was
noble and boundless. after LIES itful
fever" we hope she sleeps well.

And there is oar young friend, too, Mr..
John r. Bee, who has left the thrDnged
and brilliant arena of Jas. A. Gray's in
Augusta, to do his mite for the permanent
redemption ofSouth Carolina. And blythe
oy; when Edgefeld people go to Augusta
nova days, and do not call on Johnnie
at Jas. A. Gray's, they do an unwise
thing. They cheat themselves out Ct
both pleasure and profit. When you
mix up two such genial and generous
men as Jown R. Bee and James A. Gray,
something pleasant is sure to come Of 1t

There is a general complaint about the
low price OF cotton. If the farmers
throughout the South would make plenty
of corn and bacon for their own consump-
ton and less cotton, then their cotton
would command a higher price, and they
would make just as much off of it as
they do now on their all cotton crop. be-
sides making their provisions. This
is the course they should pursue to make
money and get rich.

ii correspondent Of the New York Times at
Dodge City, the principal shipping point,
thinks the drive OF Texas cattle this year will
be between 2250 eco and 100000 head, perhaps
ais high as 100000. Many of these will be
scattered over the plains to multiply. Some
OF the best blooded stock have been intro
sluced, improving the quality of the increase,
and enabling the plains-fed beeves to bring
high prices In the Eastern markets. An Ore
gon paper states that 900 head, of cattle
from Eastern Oregon and Washington Terri
tory, and from Snake river, Yakima and
Walla-Walla counties. are ready to be driven
across the plains. Some of these will be kept
sn Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming until
the prices improve. while others will be
driven at once to Omaha. The buffalo plains
and the middle portion Of the continent, to-
Rether with the Pacific States, are rapidly
taking the place of Texas as the great feed
ing grounds and are leading nithe production
oil beef. The estimated returns for this year
give Colorado 550,O head, Wyoming 225, 900,
\ Utah $4,000, Washington 100000. Montana
3o0,0 900, Oregon 175.o00, and California 100000.
lin addition to these there are raised In Flor
ida thousands of heads of cattle, whose meat
is az tender as any that can be had in the
North. The choicest pieces of Florida beef
can be bought for eight cents q pound, and
&he average for five cents, while In the North,
with the advantages of rapid transportation,
double those prices are paid.

THE following circular, which we find In
The st. Louis Republican, addressed to stock
holders of the Bank of New York. shows that
another OF the leading banks Of New York is
seeking relief from oppressive taxation by the
only way that is now left open. Unless
stle national and State Legislatures abandon
the policy In taxation, OF discriminating
against capital engaged in banking, nothing is
clearer than that capital will leave the bank

reduction of banking capital are the classes
which are dependent on what they borrow.
