Taking Time BY the Foreicck.

Coming events cast their shadows
before, and already, through the mists
Of months, thegladsom Holiday season
looms clearer day by day, filling the
youthful mind with pleasing specula-
tions, and causing uncertainties to
consider in what direction she can ex-
ercise a little additional economy,
whereby the money for presents may
be forthcoming when required. And
just In the nick of time there comes to
hand, n Suggestion of how Johnnie,
and Mamie, and Flossie, and Charley
may secure for themselves and by
their own exertiOns, the jack knives
and, work boxes, and writings cases,
and tool chests, for which theirg souls
are longinga of how mamma may get
that book OF parlor ornament she has
talked about so often: and of how, by
their united exertions they may obtain
a present wherewith to surprise and
gladden. the soul of papa.

The FASHION QUARTERLY SO ex-
actly fills its place as a guide to econ-
omy in the household, and its sub,
scription price, only so cents year, is
so very trifiing, that little difficulty
should be experienced in securing sub
scriptions; and we have no doubt
that thousands will gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity thus pre-
sented Of securing some useful article
alta very moderate expense of time and
trouble. .....

South Carolina, who fell in the assault
on Savannah October 9, 1779. This is

from the British fleet. On another oc.
casion, aided by single companion,
he captured British guard of ten
soldiers and rescued twelve American

"A girl at Hopkinton, VT, was a
cripple from her birth until lately.
The story of her cure, as her fanny
tells it, that, while at dinner, a deadly
pallor and an expression of agony
were observed upon her face, and she
complained of a sudden and terrible
pain in her diseased leg simultaneously
with the appearance of strange,
shadowy form by herside. From that
hour she began to recover, and she is
now comparatively well.

The remarkable speech of General
Grant to the Viceroy of China, when
the subject of the next Presidency was
under discussion, is having wide run
in the newspapers, and is calling forth
much comment. Notwithstanding
the General emphatically declared
that he had all the honors he wished,
and did not seek the Office again, it
will be noticed that he did not say he
wonld not accept it If rendered him.
If the Republican party will say that
it is the judge of who has earned the
Office of President, and insist upon
General Grant taking it again, we do
not believe that he would decline it.
1t will depend in a great measure upon
the political condition of the country
at the time of the assembling of the
national convention who will be nom.
mated. If the south should assume a
threatening attitude, and the rebel
brigadiers in Congress should make as
many Incorporate speeches as they
did last winter. it is very probable that
the country will rise up and demand
the nomination of General Grant, as
the best man for the Presidency under
the circumstances. The people have
full confidence in him, and know very
well that he will not tolerate any non
sense on the part of those individuals
of the south or north who, by their in.
temperate actions, are resolved on
bringing trouble upon the country
again. His denomination, therefore
will depend altogether upon the pOliti
cal outlook in S0.--Wm'sport @. & B

debt. The creditor pays 81 a week for

q person can be imprisoned for debt,

The Vicksbury (Miss.) Herald,
which ia fighting so courageously
against political intimidation in Miss
issippi, has some opposite words for
the renewed advocacy Of the state
rights dogma at the South. 1t would
be hard to put the argument against
state sovereignty in better form than
the Herald does when it says. "These
doctrines were all discussed millions
of times before the war, and the dis
cussions brought on the war, and the
war settled them forever in a common
sense, blunt, never-to-be-fOrgotten
manner. 1t settled them in manner
that any man of ordinary intelligence
may understand. The Union was not
made as a limited partnership, and
one of its component parts may not
secede from it or break it up. because
the whole is greater than any of its
parts. The states, for local conven-
fence, have all the rights and liberties
guaranteed them that it is to the in
terest of representative central gov
ernment for them to have, but in the
event of any conflict of authority the
power of the national government is
stronger than that of any state. The
safeguards and projections to the states
rest in the representative form of the
government, the courts and the ballot.
So long as these possess their present
power, all this whining about states
rights and state sovereignty is intoler-
able nonsense"

Some time last winter gentleman
in the northern part of Smith county,
Texas, on the Sabine River, was rid
Ing pony, and as he was approaching
she river a raccoon ran up and bit the
horse on the leg. The raccoon re-
p ated or continued its attack until
the gentleman put the pony into gal
lop and ran off. A few days ago the
gentleman was leading the pony out
OF pasture. While he was letting
down the fence the pony suddenly
commenced biting the rails furiously,
had fit, fell down, and in few mo-
ments was dead.

Secretary Sherman IN the Financial
.-.'. Outlook. :

In conversation at Washingtoh a
few days ago on the financial outlook
Secretary Sherman said: ''
"The Treasury operations will prob
ably hereafter have no material effect
upon the money market. tits prob-
able THAT" before the lst' Of October
nearly all the called bonds outstanding,
amounting to about s47 100000, will
be presented for payment, and will be
paid for through the clearinghouse Of
New York. AS much of this money
will go to different parts Of the coun-
try elsewhere than New. York, the
payments may cause some movement
of currency from that city, but it will
naturally soon come back again. After
the refunding operations are closed
our Treasury payments will be equal
to our receipts and no more; except
the small balance of the fractional cur
rency fund which Congress required
to be paid out"
"What will be the probable amount
of gold imported in payment Of bread
stuffs and the like?"l
II do not think the movement OF
gold to this country will be very large.
1t is evident that our. exports will be
greatly in excess of our imports, and
mainly of breadstuffs, meats and cot
ton; but the excess will be paid for
largely by American securities held
abroad. wish they would all come
back; still some gold will come; and
our domestic production of gold will
pay. This will give the banks an ex-
cellent opportunity to provide them
selves with coin reserve instead of
United States notes, Of which their re-
serve now consists The United States
notes will all be wanted in active use
for the largest crop and the, largest
business we have ever had"
How about the price of silver; has
advanced?" -'@
"Yes; the price Of silver is ad-
vancing somewhat. There is a bet.
ter demand for silver for China, and
therefore the price is higher in San
Francisco than in New York. would
not be surprised if the bulk of the silver
of the Pacific coast should go to
China, and that our supply for coinage
should come from Colorado Mexico
and perhaps London"

AT Newport, r. l., last Saturday,
Captain Candy, a friend of James
Gordon Benn. tt, rode UP to the Polo
Club House during the heavy rain,
and the pony, being restless, got on
the sidewalk. Some gentlemen on
the piazza called out, "Why don't you
come up?'' and began to handy the
captain, who, without thinking, rode
the pony upon the piazza, into the
hall, and out again. This the Govern
ing Committee held to be great
breach Of good conduct, and a quorum
having been go+ together, they passed
vote expelling Captain Candy, and
ordered that his entrance money be
returned. He offered to apologize
but was not given an opportunity.
Fears Of grasshopper invasion

recollection of the devastation pro-

trees across their line of march, they
banked up against them to the depth
of three feet, forming an inclined
plane, up which marched the advane
ing host. On the north side of dwell

and the inmates had to shovel then
