A Black Prospect 10 EngIand

The financial and buSlnesS Situation
in Great Britain looks black. We
should rather tighten than cxaggerate
its gloomy features, but tho facts are
too serious to allow any present
prophecy OF. smooth things. It is
evident from tho tenor of late
dispatches that the anxiety in London
and other commercial cities is Deep
ening into alarm. and tho appeal of
the London Times to the business men
to keep cool and brace their nerves
for fresh disasters is sufficient index
of this tendency toward general
panic.
Tho unfayorablo conditions Of
British trade aud industry have
frequently bOcn referred to. They
bavc been growing more and moro
apparent for the last twelve months.
Now they are become couspicuous-
glazing is not too strong word. Tho
nation that went on converting its
grain fields iuto private parks and its
truck gardens into preserves for harcs
and pheasan,s, while It's food crops,
insufficient for tlrcc.quartcrs Of a
century 10 feed its people, we're becom-
ing every year less and less in pro.
portion to tho mouths that called for
them, is brought facO to face with a
most tremendous aud difficult problem.
It must buy enormously Of foreign
wheat, and its own productions are
insufficient, to pay tho bill. America
does not now want and will not buy.
English manufactures to any consider.
ablo amount. We arc making our
own goods, and, with moro abualant
capital aud at lower intcres. rates,
and with continually improving
machinery, and with tho existing low
rates Of wages, wc make them at prices
which foreign manufacturers, except
they are driven to desperate corners,
cannot uuderbid. England must eat
our bread or staryc, but no shall not
take her goods, for our own pro-
duction is more than We eau consume.
She is buying Of US nov, every month,
enormous amouLts in excess Of her
sales to US, and she cannot, at will,
cease this. Tho balance is in our
favor, and worry greatly so. The
precious metals no longer 60 from
New York to London. Already The
stream Westward exceeds that going
in tho opposite direction. 1t will be
said by political economists that this
cannot long continue; no nation can
steadily take what sue is unable pay
for. But pray how and when is Great
Britain 10 stop eating? How soon will
any other country surpass tho United
States as bread producer ? Modified
as tho present interchange between
that country and this may be, by
circumstances which may arise out Of
English commercial prostration and
industrial distress, it is simply im.
possible that tho present enormous
balan7e in our favor can speedily DO
equalized, much less reversed; for the
present it is established beyond
possibility Of overthrow.

HOME NEWS.

THE PROPER THING.-Having become
thoroughly disgusted with the "slcugh
OF despond "on the corner Of Maine and
Court streets, the citizens of Weaverville
have literally subscribed toward its pur-
chase, and the deed Of conveyance to
be executed and recorded, Il. r. Jones,
County Judge, holding title for the cti-
zons. The whole amount subscribed is
sl9S, Of which 800 was appropriated as
purchase money, that being the value at
which the lot was held. With the re-
naming $93 it is proposed to fill the hole
above the "water level" and more if il;
can be done. The nuisance being situa-
ted directly in front of the Court House,
tits probable that the Board of Supervis-
on at their session next month, will ap-
pppEate something towards its abate-
m@t-at least as much in proportion as
other property holders in the vicinity, if
they do not feel justified in doing more.
This hole has been a disgrace to the town
ever since the fire in the Spring of '73
burned the buildings which covered it.
1t is not only dangerous as pit-fall but
A menace to the health of the community,
being n receptacle for filth and contain
ing foot or more Of stagnant water. 1t
will be filled and fenced in time and can
% made ornamental instead ofdisgraceful
$ 1t has been for five years.

alternating at the instrument. This part
of the programme beng completed, the
next good thing" was furnished in the
shape Of cake, ice cream, candies, nuts,
ETC., in abundance and of the best. After
lunch, sociabiity prevailed, the young
folks particularly enjoying themselves in
various games Of an amusing and social
nature. AT late hour the party separa.
ted being highly elated at the pleasant
manner in which everything passed off.
Such entertainments cannot but prove
beneficial to the Lodge.

the trestle work over Red Bank creek.
