The recent advance in Southern lumber is
explained by the fact of the light stocks of
hard pine at the South where the great rise
in naval stores has directed attention almost
entirely to that branch of business to the ex-
clusion of Underwriting and manufacture
Schedule orders, however, for the qualities
used in railroad, bridge building and wharf
construction have crowded the mills so that
they can take no more acquisitions for q
month, contributing an almost unexampled
rush Of business. These orders are mainly
from the North, indicating corresponding &C !
tivity in bridge and railway construction.

"FrighteninS nvalids.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many invalids, BY depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances Of those
around. For our part we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorze as they will, we have mass Of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms Of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
sDr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild

OF the great collapse in the stock mar
ket last week the Tribune says 1t is to be
regretted, that many hopeful people have
thrown away the savings OF years in too
great haste to get rich. 1t would have
been far better for the country, as well as
for them, if they had employed those saw
ings in supporting or building up some
productive industry. Every generation
has to learn the lesson for itself, however,
that in money getting almost always haste
makes waste. and the danger of pro-
longed and widespread speculative fever
has been diminished by the sudden col
lapse of great movements in wheat. in
cotton, and now in stocks. Since these
lessons have been gained by thousands Of
small dealears without any general
disaster, it may be hoped that there will
be enough of caution in buying hereafter
to avert serious public misfortunes. Oh
necessity prices of many properties and
articles will advance, for the country is
growing richer, buster, and more prosper.
Gus. Nor has the money lost by the
osborn lambs been destroyed; their saw
ings will reappear in the increased loans
of great capitalists and financial institu-
tons. Though individuals suffer, the bus
mess of the country will move on unim-
peded. and with greater confidence be-
cause > source of general apprehension
las been removed.

A recent report of the history of the
quarrel between Tilden and Hewitt is as
whatever money was necessary in the cam
paign of 1876, and to look to him for re-
endorsement. He spent over 100000,
and when he applied to Tilden for the
amount, Tilden said it ought to be paid by
assessments on the party, and refused to
pay more than his share. Tilden finally
paid $50, 900, and about SAC, 600 was raised
by subscription. Hewist's personal loss
was. therefore over 100000, which is
certainly ground enough for GOODNESS
toward Tilden. There is reason to believe
however that the true history Of the quar-
rel is yet to be written.

Daniel Webster's COIOred Son.

There is now liveng in Atlanta, Ga, a
mulatto who is said to be son of Daniel
Webster. Robert Webster OF Bob Yancey,
as he is usually called, was born at Gads.
by's Hotel, in Washington, in 1872. His
mother was Charlotte Goodbrick, for a
long time in the service of the wife of Hen.

a beautiful gold necklace, which: she ac
cidently left in drawer in Mrs. Clay 3

lace, questioned the girl and got from he,
the truth. Shortly after that Mrs. Clay
showed the necklace to the statesman and
asked him il he had ever seen it before
Mr.. Webster gave Charlotte her freedom

few years ago. Bob the boy, was staked by

lionel Ben Yancy in 1868 gave Bob his
liberty and set him up in the tobacco bus

reached that fair city of the South with it
marched Captain Fletcher Webster, son
of Daniel Webster. Captain Fletcher hun

long after Captain Fletcher was killed in
battle. Bob is now old and feeble and is
seeking to recover from the Government a
claim for damages inflicted when Sheaman
destroyed the city. He will not associate
