We have been informed by a num-

inquiry tor property in Jacksonville
and Duval county is larger than ever
before. Within the past few weeks
several very large sales of lands have
taken place in this county, upon
which extensive improvement are to
be made. The purchasers seem TO
be active and substantial men from
the North and will devote themselves
TO the more rapid settlement OF the |
county.-Uniop.
There is a gentleman living on the
st. Johns river that thinks that he
has discovered the clay out of which
the Wedgewood ware was made.
The place in which this clay is found
correspond with an old manuscript
that was deciphered from the diary
of Vedgewood which says that the
ore or clay was found in large guam
titles, not more than TWO miles from
water navigation. OF the TACT that
the Wedgewo0d ware, now extinct
save a tew vases, was procured in
Florida, there can be no doubt. 1t
this discoverer has really found the
pure clay that was manufactured into
ware, he is sure of a iortune.-Pa-

The Mississippi Riot.

Meridian, Miss, 10.-The correct story
ofthe shooting at the polls is that while
the state election was progressing at
Marion, this county, Joseph Barrett, an
aged white having ust voted, was insult
ed by negro at the polls, Barrett raised
his arm to resent 1t with blow. Some
say he drew stick on the negro, but be-
fore he could strike, another negro,
Frank johnson, shot him in the neck,
cutting the jugular vein and killing him
almost instantly. Geo. johnson. co.,
erea, formerly slave of Barratt's, ran
up to defend his old m aster and was shot
by negro, from which he died to-day.
General shooting among the negroes
commenced. The whites were are all
unarmed. JEFF. Segars. white, was
killed by negro named Sam Gillespie.
Vance Segars was wounded and is ex-
pected to die. Alex. Harvey, democratic
candidate for county assessor, fifty
yards from the scene, was rushed upon
by negroes and killed shot through the
head. He was shot in the face
by Frank johnson after he was dead.
James Hodges, white, wounded in the
hand. The negroes doing the shooting
were Gillespie, Frank johnson, Allen
Burwell, Brown and Martin Malone.
Marion was not the voting place for these
negroes. They were from another pre-
cinct. Will Vance, white, repu blican,
is said to have given the order to the
negroes to begin firing. As soon as the
news reached Meridlan,si miles distant,
the sAeritf's pCsse started in pursuit.
Their experience with them has been de-
tailed already, except that John Vance
was shot and killed, because after the
rest had surrendered, he was seen with |
a gun levelIed at the posse At the same
instant A. g. Warren, of the posse, was
shot dead by some one in the house. Ed. |
Vance escaped. No negroes are known |
to be killed, but four or FIVE are wounded.
Several more of the rioters have been |
and jailed. but there is no ex-
at this date. A circus is in /
town to-day, and the streets are crowded |
with pesceable negroes. The fusionists'
doctrine for negroes to carry pistols TO the |
polls was the cause of the disturbance. |
Vance's house was the headquarters of |
white republicans.

Crooked Christians.

Hartford, IO.-The CourGnt, to-mor-
rew,publishes paper adopted at meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Connecticut Bible Society, held in Hart
ford on the 9TH inst, charging some
errors unexplained as follows: The item
of $197, 146, which twenty-five days be-
fore was reported among the assets, is
omitted from the balance sheet with only
a lame explanation in foot note. The
balance sheet also reveals an under state
ment of the assets of half million dol
lars. In the secretary's report there is an
over statement of expenditures of S7.700
The secretarY's report ignores the lsrSe
cash returns acknowledged in the treasur.
er's report, classified as profits, and has
also apparently duplicated an item OF
S44 ,436 for salaries and expenses of col
portures, which item, presumably, is
already covered. The committee pre-
test against the management Of the
American Bible Society, and disclaim
all responsibility therefor.
New York, 1.-THE following state
ment IS made by the corresponding sec
recretary Of the American bible Society.
An unjustifable snd grou1dless assault
upon the American BiUle Society has
been made by the executive committee
of the Connecticut Bible Society, and
widely published through the agency of
the Associated Press. This is only the
ola series of attacks which
have been made orally and in print by
the secretary of the Connecticut Bible
Society, since he ceased in '7S TO be in
the employ of the American Bible So
cietY and by the auditor of the Connecti-
cut Bible Society. In behalf of the
board of managers of the American Bible
Society, its executive officers unite in
denying these allegations in general and
detail, and in informing the public that
in due time the fslsity of these charges
will be demonstrated

TUE TOBACCO MARKET.
SEED LEAF AND HAVANA.
For tho Week Eudiue Saturday, September
II, 10 A. N.

U. 8. Tobacco Journal.
Unabated is the activity in our market.
The most notable feature of the week was
the sudden prominence 80 Connecticut
rexained. This stock, treated with almost
studied neglect all along the season, is
now examined and taken hold of with
great eagerness. This is but the conse-
Quence of the high views of holders of go
. Pennsylvania. These people are in no
hurry to sell, ask figures which startle the
best paying buyers, and justified as their
views may be, naturally drive customers
to turn their attention to other so crops.
Connecticut had the best share of this
turn. So far as could be ascertained
about 1,5O0 cases of this were sold, most
" under the name of HOusatOnic. In form
or days hoders Of Connecticut tobaccos
would call nearly everything "East Hart
ford" growth. Now the fashion is to call
nearly everything grown in the New Eng
land states HousatOnic." 1t does not
make much difference anyhow, as long as
the tobacco is good. Next to these ex-
tensive sales in 80 Connecticut this week
come those of 80 Pennsylvania with 1 600
cases, the best of which a packing of $50
cases) is quoted at 81 cents. After this
the tide of sales ran towards 80 New York
state tobacco 800 cases of which were re-
ported at private terms ; 80 Ohio figures
with about 47j cases with about AIS cases
from 81 to IA cents to manufacturers. Sew
eral sales of 80 Wisconsin Havana seeds,
numbering probably 400 cases, were re-
ported by brokers, but neither buyers nor
sellers' name could be asccrta,ned. 70
stock of all grades moves in but small
quantities. There is very little Of it in

The movement among tobacco men to
secure the reduction or entire removal of
the tax on tobacco will this year be marked
by more vigor and energy of purpose than
that of former years. Every year it is con-
tinucd brings with it greater unanimity of
action and tends to that organization
without which the accomplishment of this
long cherished and generally desired abo-
litiOn cannot bs effected. This year, too.
the movement receives an impetus and
support from an unexpected quarter, and
in the avowed advocacy of Senator Don
Cameron, it may be said to assert itself
more emphatically and decidedly than it

APerfect Hostess.

The art of entertaining company sue
cessfully is we'll worth cultivating, and
should engross much OF the attention of
our ladies' The pleasures of society
depend more upon females than others.
Gentlemen expect to be entertained !;
children are out of the question, and
therefore it rests upon women what So
ciety should be. The pleasure Of an
evenings entertainment. therefore, is
graduated by the capacity OF the hostess
to interest her visitors in each other, and
make them forget their own identity, or
to be lost in the effort to make every
one at ease. Some ladies will enter q
drawing room or social circle, where
every person's neighbor appears like an
iceberg, and the atmosphere is chilly
and constrained, and, by their genial ma
ture and well-timed playfulness. throw
sunshine snd warmth all over the room,
till all commingle in that easy yet. dig.
niied -eordiality that ever characterizes
true gentility. As lady sptly express.

upon her depends the concord of swee,
sounds and their sweetest melody

an excellent hostess, and contrives te
