and her husband during her summer

painful trial to Mrs. Scott Siddons, but
the sympathy with which she has been

inevitable character Of this step, the
result of the debasement through his

THE PECAN.

Iii certainly 10 be regretted that our
people cannot more fully appreciate the pc
can lCarya olive FORMS as crop to be
cultivated. Thousands upon thousands OF
well-arrangcd and carefully cultivated
groves ought now to be coming on in all
parts of the lower Mississippi valley; yet,
strange as it may seem, they are just about
as few and far between as angels visits.
Whyl cannot tell, unless It is merely
another case OF the prophet in his own
country" the pecan being only q wild
tree" YOU know. Possibly we would al!
have English walnuts, would they grow
with us as reality as does the pecan, and
yet there is always demand Tor the fruit
OF the pecan, and it is really more pTofta-
bic than that Of the English walnut.
We ought to put out pecan trees. Neg
Letting to do SO may be wrongng ourselves,
and it is undoubtedly wronging the gen
Grafton to come after US. There can be no
doubt of the fact that the man who leaves
to his posterity a fouyishing grove OF peach
trees, leaves them q legacy almost as good
as gold mine. That is what they say
concerning the olive groves, in the old
world, and pecan grove, properly cared
for, would be worth, all things considered,
just about as much as an olive grove Of the
same size.
The pecan starts readily from seed most
of the nuts offered for sale in the shops will
terminate promptly if carefully planted.
II likes low, rich, bottom land, not perma-
nently wet, though it will do very well on
uplands and in soil Of almost any charac-
ter. In word, any that will sustain an
apple or a peach orchard, will do for the
pecan and it is tree Of much wider
range than is generally supposed. I have
seen as fine pecans growing in the woods
along the Mississippi river, one hundred
miles above st. Louis, as ever grew in the
State Of Texas Rural World.

which the professor has collected on this
subject leads him to believe that Venus
the bright, particular star of the morning
and the evening armament, is perhaps the
only planet besides the earth that is at pres
emf fitted for the abode of life. In Ner-
curry and in the moon life probably eX-
isted at some remote period and has dis
appeared The outer or larger planets
.Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, he
thinks, have probably not yet reached
stage of development which fits them for
the abode Of living creatures, though they
are approaching that condition perhaps by
'changes similar to those which geology
shows to have taken place in the earth
from age to age before It was fitted for the
abode Of man. He inclines to the suppo-
sition that life, as We know it, extends
through all time as well as through all
space. One set of orbs are the abode Of
life. and as they die cut another set takes
their place, and so on through all time.
Life IN one planet does not exist at the
same time with life in another planet, says
Mr.. Proctor and the planets, like the
race Of men on earth, take their turn.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New YORK, Nov. cath, 1879.


From or Regular CorFcspondent)
Business circles here are disturbed over
the probable withdrawal Of the sub-treas-
ury from the Clearing House Association.
The only alternative suggested IS for the
association to rcscind the resolution which
it adopted multiplying the silver act, This
policy is being urged in order that the gov
eminent may remain in the association, but
so far, with not much promise Of its being
agreed to. AS it now is, the government is
forced to meet all It's obligations and settle
its differences in gold, but If it goes out Of
the association it can use the silver certif-
Gates. This would stop the outflow Of gold.
Small notes are very scarce, and the refusal
of the bank to circulate silver, creates q de-.
mand for small gold coins, The Philadcl.
| phia mint has been directed TO enter upon
the coming Of small gold pieces, and last Fri
day $4,00O,0O0 in foreign coin and bullion
was shipped there for this purpose. An.
other shipment Of $6,000000 more will fol-
low in few days, and it is believed that
when that shall have been converted into
small coins, still more will be sent for the
| same purpose with the view of supplying
the demand for small money,
It's now announced that passage has been
secured for General Grant in the steamer
City of Alexandria, to sail for the West
Indies and Mexico. The steamer is advcr.
tised to sail from New York on the 9th Of
December. Mr.. John Alexander, one Of
the owners Of the vessel, SAID last evening
that the report that General Grant was soor
to start from this city for Cuba and Mexico
was founded on the fact that his passage
had been engaged for those places by Drexe
Morgan 4 Co., the bankers. The latte,
sent to the Office Of the Mexican and la
vana steamship line on Thursday, ant
asked that staterooms might be reserved fei

THE Democrats may as well make up
their minds that Mr.. Tilden will name the
next candidate of the Democratic party.
Perhaps he may not see fit TO be that can
didate, but no one will be nominated with
out his assent. The entire delegation from
this State he has captured in advance, and
there is little chance that he will consent to
any arrangement by which that delegation,
or any part Of it, can be secured for any OF
his rivals New York is the State which
the Democratic party must have, That
same fatal necessity has determined several
OF its nominations already. But it will moi
cease TO exist until the Democratic part,
has firm foothold at the North, and ceases
TO depend upon the Solid South for its cleo
toral votes. With New York, as matter
stand, the Solid South can hope to win
without that State il can not hope. In com

BENTLEY's pension reportshows that 2i7,-
755 people are receiving pensions from the
Government When the war closed, there
we're about $4,000 pensioners, and the mis-
chief of it is that the further We get from
the war the more rapid the increase Of this
class. In other countries the number Of
pensioners rapidly decreases in time of
peace, and the situation here looks ex-
tremely suspicious, to say the least, unless
all the washerwomen, cooks, camp-follow
ers and contractors, who figured in the
rear during the war, are raiding on the
Treasury in this way. We have not the
slightest doubt that a good investigation
of this pension business would show that
about $1O,OOO,OOO of the $3O,O0O,OOo paid
out for pensions is placed in the pockets Of
frauds and thieves.
