AvOund the world.

New York SUM- .t %
As the circumnavigation of the
world is no longer the wondrous
exploit of Cook or a Magellan,
but the mere vacation ramble of
Brown and Robinson, a voyage of
that sort does not often attract
attention. But the frst-class
steamboat Juno, or Junon, which
has started from Marseilles on such
a voyage, is or should be an excep-
tion. 1t is a 1875 ton ship Of
600 horse power, with speed
Of elaven knots, built at Hull,
England; it carries a carefully
made up company of twenty
two excursionists- eleven French
men, three Russians, three Swiss,
three Germans (if we dare to call
a couple of Alsatians such), a Bel
gian and a Hollander or Dutchman.
Besides these, there are the ships
officers, connected with the French
navy and with the sciences, and, in
fact, the company as a whole is a
very notable one. They go to Glib
raltar, Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres,
Cape Horn, Valparaiso, Panama,
New Orleans, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Niagara. Falls,
Montreal, Albany, New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Chicago, Omaha, San Francisco,
Sandwich Islands, FIJI Islands,
New Zealand, Melbourne, Japan,
China, Batavia, Singapore, Calcut-
ia, Bombay, Suez, Alexandria, Ma
pies, Marseilles. The time is 800
days; the distance 1900 leagues,
including excursions. We shall
hear more of this company anon;
still, it must be rather small pota-
toes if it voluntarily takes in the
FIJI Islands and leaves out Boston

French kilt and Partisan suits are the
newest styles for boys. Both are pretty
as can be, and are in all classes of goods,
from the mixed up to fine dress cloth.
The French kilt shows plaitings only at
the back. One variety is plain in front
in another, the jacket is simulated by
braid, and third has the stimulation Of
both vest and jacket. The Partisan kits,
of which there are also three varieties,
have NIL belt ard buckle in the back,
while the plaitings appear both in front
and back. Overcoats for little boys are
cunning little sacques-just as manish as
can be. Oxford and Eaton suits are de-

the three-buttoned cut-a-way is fashion
able. Assortments OF all new styles are

ton. This perhaps may be accounted
for from the fact that two Of the murder
cases occurred in the city of Greenville.
Judge Mackey in his charges to the jury
on the several cases is impartial and dis
eliminating.
The Judge seems to think that the Lii
berian movement looms up before public
attention just in the nick of time, as
afording safe solution Of the question
of races. Liberia, says the Judge, pos
sesses fine climate for the negro, with
luxuriant soil, and by returning to
their native country, with all their &C
quired advantages of civilization and
christianity obtained here, may develop
field of great usefulness, not only to
their own race, but for the world atlarge.
The question certainly deserves the
thoughtful consideration of ollr wisest
statesmen.
We were pleased to meet with our
much esteemed friend, Mr.. Peter Keys,
of the Air Line Road. He Is looking
hale and hearty, and says he enjoys rail-
roading more than anything he ever did.
He is engineer, and is getting hand
some salary. He has been on that road
about five years, and is just the sort of
man to possess the confidence of his
employers. Mr.. Keys informs US that
the passenger trains average thirty miles
an hour from Charlotte to Atlanta, with
a stoppage of only five minutes at the
more important depots, and only one
minute at the smaller places. The road
bed is in splendid condition, and Mr..
Keys think the company will average
forty miles an hour, including stoppages,
in year or so. The Charlotte & Allan
ta branch of the road is under aseparate
management from the remainder of the
track to Richmond.

Diversity Our Industries.

In commenting upon an editorial from
the Register concerning the delegation
from Washington, the Darlington Watch
man puts forth the annexed sensible
views:
As we look at it, there can be no con-
siderable further Advancement in the de-
velopment of prosperity and growth of
wealth in the State until we get out of
the old ruts in which we naturally ran
whilst we held the institution of slavery.
With the exception Of a little more small
grain, and the partially developed plan
of higher fertilization, We are moving on
about in the same way, in our agricultu.
raj industries, consuming the yearly crop
in many instances ahead, and finding
ourselves in Strengthened circumstances,
and no money in the country, after the
cotton has been sold. Under this process
we might 90 on un5il doomsday, and
would find ourselves the same impover-
ished people we are now. A change in
the diversity of our industries must come.
There are many things which may be
grown upon our soil with less outlay and
labor and more profit than cotton, es-
pecially now that the amount produced
hss brought down the price to an extent
that the best system of cultivation and
management are necessary to any profit
at all.
The Northern people are learning more
and more of our situation, of the superior
advantages our soil and climate possess,
ard are constantly prospecting. These
are but the preliminary Investigations of
all sound and solid enterprise. There is
probably no better country in the world
for the cultivation o. the grape and the
manufacture of wines than middle Caro-
lima, as has been shown by the expert
ments Of our OWN people. And it has
happened within our knowledge that
Northern travellers to this section have
declared the wine produced here superior
10 anything of the kind they can find in
the North. There can also be no doubt
that this country must and will manufac-
ture the cotton we grow-it is natural,
and will be done, because it is tho great
est of all wealth producing enterprises
and industries.
