Where Peanuts Come From.

A Cincinnati firm has issued a circu-
lar relative to the peanut crop, which is
of interest. The Tennessee crop for
the year ending September 80, 1878, was
100000 bushels against 100000 for the
year previous; in Virginia the crop was
100000 against 100000 last year, and in
North Carolina it was only $4,000 against
$4,000 in 1877. The growing crop
!. e., for 1S78-'79-is estimated at 4OO,-
900 bushels for Tennessee, 100000 for
Virginia and 10000 for North Carolina.
The North Carolina crop promises to be
about the same as to quality as last year.
A new feature with this crop is the
largely increased amount shelled, one
estimate being that one-fifth Of the crop
was taken in this way. The North
Carolina crop of peas finds its way into
other markets through this port, there
now being three different firms in Will
mington engaged in buying, shell1ng and
shipping the peas.

troublesome it might be to go too far

Salisbury has taken up false position
with respect to the local or other rights
of New Foundland, though, since he
had all facts before him and the knowl-

RUSSIAN PRESS SOUNDING THE ALARM
A st. Petersburg dispatch of Nov. 4th
says: The Golos saws all Russians wish
peace but the present aspect Of affairs
IS very alarming. The Goios particu-
larly points to the fact that the chief
field cash box has been returned from
Odessa to Adrianople and asks why, if
rumors of army readvancing are un-
true, that they are not contradicted.
An advance on Constantinople would
be a challenge on the part of Russia.
INDIA TO ADOPT THE GOLD STANDARD.
A London dispatch of Novem-
Der 3rd says: Private kilograms
confirm the statement that the govern
ment of India contemplates the adop-
ton of a gold currency, making the
English gold coirs legal tender
throughout the country. The importa-
ton of bar silver will probably be pro-
hibited after a given time and ri pee
and smaller coins used as fractional cur
rency

The Bottom Drawer of the Old Bureau

| saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of the old bureau this evening,
and [ went softly out and wandered up
and down until | knew she had shut it
up and gone to her sewing. We have
some things laid away in that drawer
which the gold Of kings could not buy
and yet they are relics which grieve us
until both are sore. [ haven't dared to
look at them for a year, but remember
each article. There are two worn shoes,
some stockings, pants, a coat, two or
three spools, bits of broken crockory,
a whip and several toys. Wife, poor
thing, goes to that drawer every day Of
her life and prays over it and lets tears
fall on the precious articles, but [ dare
not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack
but not often. 1t has been a long time,
but somehow we can't get over grievlng.
Som etimes, when we sit alone of an
evening, | writing and she sewing, a
child in the street will call out as our
boy used to, and we will both start up
with beating breast and a wild hope.
only to find the darkness more of a
burden than ever 1t is still and quiet
now l look up to the window where
his blue eyes used to sparkle at my
coming, but he is not there. listen
for his pattering feet, his merry shout
and his ringing laugh, but there is no
sound. There is no one to search my
pockets and tease me for presents. and
[ never find the chairs turned over. the
broom down or ropes tied to the COR
knob. want some one to tease me
for my knife; to ride on my shoulder,
to lose my axe; to follow me to the
gate when I 60, and be there to meet
me when [ come; to call "good night "
from the little bed now empty.
And wife, she misses him still more.
There are no little feet to wash, no
prayers to say, no voice teasing for
Jumps Of sugar Or sobbing with the
pain Of a hurt toe; and she would Civ e
her own life, almost, to, awake at mid
night and look across to the crib and
see our boy there as he used to be.
So we preserve our relics, and when
we are dead we hope that strangers
will handle them tenderly, even if they
shed no tears over them.-Bostoo 1ele-

ing the fracas several students haC
their heads battered, which so exasper
ated the others that they threatened re.
taliation. "For the campus" shouted
the leaders. ''Let us organize, and
clean out the officers; and away they
marched. When the grounds were
reached the number had increased tC
seven hundred. In the meantime
Mayor Smith was consulted by Chic
Johnson as to the best course to be
pursued. IT was decided at once tC
deputize force sufficient to preserve
order. A call was made on citizens
who responded, and in less than hall
an hour one hundred and fifty stout
able-bodled fellows cOngregated IL
the basement of the opera house await
ing orders. In their haste to pre-
pare for business they selected all kinds
Of weapons for defense. Some were
armed with revolvers, and others with
canes, clubs, or aXe-helves, fully deter
mined to prevent a repetition of Thurs
day nights occurrence 1t was an
easy matter for six hundred men to
attack Rapa!e's bagnio, but they were
completely cowed over the fact that
they would be warmly received las;
night if they ventured on another
raid. The students sent scouts out
who, learning Of the full preparations
that had been made, carried the news
back to the campus, when the crowd
soon dispersed, and scarcely student
ventured on the streets after 9 o'clock.
Should an outbreak occur the fire bell
will be rung, calling the citizens to-
gether if their presence is needed to
assist the police.
MURDERED BY TRAMPS.
A dispatch from Sedala, Mo-, Nov.
4th, says: Thos G. Cockrill, nephew of
U. S. Senator Cockrill this state, was
found murdered last Friday morning in
the store Of M. f. Staitz, at Ridge Prai-
RE, Saline county. His skull was
cracked in three places and throat cut.
The supposition is he was murdered by
tramps during Thursday night as the
victims pockets and the money drawer
of the store has been rifed. CockrilI
was clerk in the store and slept there.
TRAFFIC. IN DEAD BODIES.
Says a Chicago dispatch of No
vember 3rd: The I1bune's Keo-
kuk special say it has been discovered
that a Mackey of that city has been re-
ceiving bodies Of recently buried peo-
pie, the graves having been robbed at
Beacon, Iowa, and the bodies barreled
and shipped. Two barrels were con-
signed to Mackey Thursday, but the
railroad agent becoming suspicious and
opening one Of them found the body of
John Hines who had been recently
buried near Beacon. Mackey has
been arrested but declares he is inno-
cent. His declaration is descredited,
as Under his directions the first barrel
was taken to the medical college of
Keokuk and is still there The author
tiles at the college disclaim any knowl-
edge of the source from which the bar
rel came.
