A Silly Story Denied i.

1t has been frequently stated that General
Grant, Mr.. Conkling, Gen. Logan, Don Came
ron, and other prominent Republicans known
as stalwarts, had met in New York to consult
with Vice-President Arthur ON matters aris-
ing out of the condition of the President.
Senator Logan gave it prompt and flat de-
NAL. Gen. Grant does the same. A dispatch
from Long Branch, dated Aug. 30, 1881, says
THE attention of Gen. Grant has been call
ed to various publications, especially in West
ern newspapers, describing frequent visits on
his part to Vice-President Arthur, consulta-
tions with the ice-President and other pub
lie men in reference to political contingencies
in Washington. General Grant requests the
announcement that there was no truth in any
OF the statements. He had been present at no
consultation, and knew of none. He had only
seen Gen. Arthur once since the attempt on
the Presidents life-at a brief morning call
about three weeks since-and no one was
present but the Vice-President. He had met
no one the general continued, who showed a
more profound and sincere sorrow for the
| Presidents condition than the Vice President
| Gen Grant did not believe that there had been
any consultations of the character described
between Gen. Arthur and his political friends
Gen. Arthur could have no sane friend who
would intrude such subject upon him, and
be is the last man who would submit to such
an intrusion.

VIRGINIA BoNDs-J. A. Hambleton Co s.
Baltimore Financial Circular of SATURDAY. last
says:
Virginia bonds as usual, were about the
most active securities on The list, and as these
are all told including West Virginia Deferred,
some $50,000O00 of the various issues which
are exclusively dealt in our market, they can
be called the leading securities of the market
Virginia Consols sold from 784 down to " and
10-40's from SO to SIT. Peelers were in better
demand and were quoted at 80 to 40. Tax re-
ceivable coupons in fair demand at SO. Peeler
coupons sales and offered at 219 Opinions
differ widely as to the course of Virginia bonds
during the next sixty days, and many good
arguments are advanced to substantiate the
pros and cons of the question. The holders OF
Virginia bonds-that is, of COnsols and 1O-4Os
claim that they are entirely satisfied with
the situation, and that they have no fears OF
any decided decline in the market value OF
their bonds. Although Virginia bonds are
dull and heavy, there are no indications that
the foreign bondholders are in any way
alarmed, or that they will attempt to sell their
bonds: After ALL the market values of Virgin
ia bonds depends entirely upon whether the
foreign holders will sell or not Very few
Consols are held-that is speculatively by
home operators; on the contrary there is some
short interest, and during the past week Con-
sos have been in good borrowing demand, SO
that if the foreign holders are not induced to
sell either from fear Of the Readjusters or by a
tight money market, it is not likely that Con
soils will decline very much from present
prices. On the other hand, if any considera-
bic amount OF bonds were sent over for sale
there would in fact be no market for them
/ Ten Forties, which would probably not,undel
any circumstances, sell much under so, are
held and purchased with more confidence

HICKORY PEACH we were shown the oil

HICKORY PEACH.-We were shown the 9th
er day a peach grown from a twig that had
been budded on hickory tree The fruit re-
sembled large smooth apricot, and the flesh
tasted like that of the peach, the stone being
similar. 1t was shown us by j. S. Haldeman,
OF this city, to whom it was handed by Rev.
Mr.. Negley, who resides near GerardstoWn
1t was an experiment of the latter by graft
ing peach twig on hickory year ago. 1t
proves therefore that peaches may be grown
from the hardy stock of the hickory. Doubt
less Mr.. Negley will make further expert
ments, and report progress. Berkeley county
stands ahead Winchester Times.
