She greatly dreaded meeting Mr.. Erskine.
When she went to breakfast, however, she
found that he was not there. Some one said
he had gone out for an early walk, having
taken some coffee before he went.
The following day was the one which had
been appointed for their return home, and she
busted herself during this forenoon in partial

this so soon, but because she felt the need OF

was out, she went into the garden to get some
slips, which the landlady had promised to let
her carry home. She had just finished her
task, and was about to return to the house,
when she saw him approaching her from a dis

she reflected that this would be foolish, and
would only delay the evil moment, which had
better be got over at once.
So she stood steadily looking at her slips,

and met the steam whaler, North Star,
with the Rodgers crew ON board for
Ounalaska. The Rodgers party were
transferred to the Corwin, and the n orth
Star resumed her cruise to the Arctic.
The Rodgers men suffered severely for
want of food during their detention at
St. Lawrence Bay and few of the men
are suffering with scurvy. With that
exception the officers and men on the
Corwin are robust and well. Master

Southern Exhibits at Boston.


The exhibits for the Southern States fur
nish a sufficient proof of their vast and rich
resources Of woods and ores. They are here
chiefly through the enterprise of various
Southern railroad cOmpanies-the Richmond
and Dsuville, the East Tennessee, Virgil ia
and Georgia, the Norfolk and Western, the
Shenandoah Valley and the Georgia Pacific.
These displays include coal, iron and pre-
ciOus metals, marble, granite and valuable
stones, besides specimen timbers, tobacco,
cereals and cotton. This is the first exhi-
bltiOn In which these products have fig
urgd, except in the Atlanta Exposition.
The railroads and their branches pene--
trate a great area largely undeVeloped,
and the ores and woods are shown with a
view OF interesting capitalists in the new
country. The iron ore comes largely from
the HOnsker mine in North Carolina, the
Clifton and LimOnite in Alabama, and
several mines in WYthe county, Virginia.
The "0re Knob" region of North Carolina
and the mines at DucktOwn, Tenn, send
rich specimens Of copper, manganese, and
the rare crystallized manganese comes from
Georgia. Alabama, Tennessee and North
Carolina contribute white and variegated
pottery clay from Madison. There
are specimens of bituminous
coal from famous veins along the Rome
and Dalton Railroad line, and the dis
pIsv of wood Is abundant and OF rare in
Eerest. now that our Northern forests are
becoming exhausted. Georgia pine, black
walnut. red cedar and hickory, cup oak,
cherry, Georgia birch and poplar, white and
yellow ,ironWcod, cypress, black loeust, China
wood magnolia, Usage orange, red and white
bay-ail these and other unnamed varieties
OF timber are shown In boards and blocks
and sections Of great trees. Then there are
shown ochre and barks for making sombre
OF brilliant dye siuffs; and many more pro-
ducts OF lesser commercial valHe, but OF
real interest to one who cares to see how
sbundsntly our brethren below Mason and
Dixon's line are furnished with things to
work upon. The cotton exhibit
is not extensive, aud more prominence is
given to the tobacco. You have already
had a description Of the great fort OF spun
tobacco from the famous Richmond FnaVvn
firm, with its arms and eagles, its frowning
batteries, its shot and shell and attacking
man Of war. Beside this is q display OF
cigarette tobaccOs from famous Southern
factory, and a party OF young women from
the factory were put TO work in the building
last month, illustrating with deft fingers the
process OF cigarette making. The Richmond
Cedarware Works has q great pyramid OF
fragrant buckets, tubs snd ehurns Just op-
posite, bound with shining bands OF brass.

YELLOW FEVER.
The Panic Over in BrownviIIe-No I'm

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, October 1.-THE
yellow fever has ceased to engage the at
tention Of the people here, and politics has
usurped its place. All interest seems to
centre in the Congressional race. DR.. Muir
ray is in the city. The weather is very hot
There is a slight abatement in the ravages
Of yellow fever at Camargo and Mier.
PENSACOLA, FLA, October 11.-56 new
cases of yellow fever and 2 deaths have
been reported to-day. Many Of the new
cases are Of a more malignant sort than
heretofore. Among those attacked is the
son Of the late Judge Hawkins, formerly
member OF Congress, and one Of the most
eminent men of his day. serious
mistake in yesterdays dispatch made it read
that the Board Of Health had made formal
appeal to the country at large for aid, in
stead Of no formal appeal. It is believed
they will yet be compelled to take that step.
The whole number OF cases to date has been
LAOS and the deaths 122 The weather is
warm and settled, giving no hope Of early
frost.
New ORLEANS, October 11.-Tbe Pea
gl@le'S Pensacola special reports fiftYsix
new cases of yellow fever and seven deaths.
Bad as is the progress Of thesepidemic, and
appalling as are the scenes Of death and
woe resulting therefrom, the extent of the
destitution grows daily, and It is very dis
heartening to those who stand by and listen
to the voices of distress or make it their
business to investigate such instances of
suffering. This condition OF affairs is at
tributed to the fact that the popuIace of
Pensacola is largely made up OF working
men, the wages of the majority of
whom ceased at the first out
break of the pestilence. The contrlbu-
tions now coming in are few and very
inadequate for the relief of the sick and
suffering. Over $4,000 has been paid to
nurses alone. and last weeks pay roll was
upward of 81 800. Over four hundred cases
Of fever are now under treatment.

According to BsGdstreet's, the British Gov.
eminent is considering the feasibility of
constructing railway from seleucia, q lit
tie north OF west of the Island of Cyprus,
thence southeast along the Valley of the
Euphrates river to Bussorah or Basra, about
one hundred miles from the mouth of that
stream, where 1t empties into the Persian
Gulf. The length of the contemplated
road is about one thousand miles, and it's
estimated cost $40, ,00O, COO. The advantages
OF such railway to Great Britain would be
the shortening Of the journey to India by
seven days; means to quickly transport
troops and supplies in case of war, and fur
nish more rapid transit for mails and mer-
chandise In transport. BrGdstTeet's says the
reason for the gain in time is readily per-
ceived when It is recalled that this route
from the Mediterranean, and by vessels
through the Persian Cult and Arabian Sea
to India, would simply avoid the necessity
for sailing around the great Arabian Penin-
sula, as is now done IN making the tourney
via the Suez canal. The building of such q
road would also make Great Britain wholly
Independent Of the waterway built by De
Lesseps between Asia and Africa, The
only drawback to the scheme is that the
line would run through sparsely populated
region, inhabited mainly by a anomadic peo-
pie who know but little OF trade and com
merce. The parties interested ask that the
government shall give them guarantee of
per cent, on the cost which will be 81 ,6O0,-
GOO per annum.

DEMAND FOR GOLD CERTIFI-
Gates.
The Original Plan of Issue to be Changed
on Account of the Rush for Them,

A Washington special to the Philadelphia
Press says that a modification of the order
in relation to the issue of gold certificates
Will shortly be made by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. When Secretary Folger was con-
sidering the form of issuing the new certif-
Gates he consulted with Thomas G. Acton,
Assistant Treasurer at New York. Mr.,
Acton expressed the desire that the certif-
Gates might bear his signature, and Judge
Folger readily granted Mr.. Acton's request
instead OF doing all the work at the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing. Treasurer Gil
hllan's name was printed on the certificates
there, and they were sent to New York to
be countersigned by Mr.. Acton. The enor-
nous demand for these certificates has rem
dered adherence to the original plan OF the
Secretary impracticable. While Mr.. Acton
has labored industriouslY day and night
In placing his autograph upon the certi-
hcstes he cannot keep up with the demand
for them. Small denominations especially
are desired, and It is estimated that
II the Assistant Treasurer at New York were
to devote his entire time to the signing of
the certificates, many months would elapse
before his task would be ended. An order
will probably be Issued within a few days
providing for the Issue Of gold certificates
at several Of the sub-treasuries and from
the Treasurer's office at Washington. 1t is
said that an order will be Issued providing
that after the 18th inst. no more silver cer-
tifcates shall be issued In exchange for gold
coin. Gold certificates will do away with
the necessity for this change,

birth to the infant government, 5000. 600
bales had been received at the seaports. and
the great bulk OF It had been exported to
Europe or been cold to the New England
spinners. By May l, $50, 900 bales more had
been received and sold. England and the
continent took 3, ,127 600 bales and the New
England spinners 654, 600 Il will thus be
seen that before the new government was
nnally organized the entire crop was already
beyond its reach. Another crop followed,
It is true, but no part Of it was ready for
market before the month OF September
ensuing. This all will sgree-and they Will
also agree that the expectation in any GUAM
tity was an absolute impossibility. There
were no vessels in the ports of the Confede-
racy. The last had left before the expira-
ton of the sixty days allowed to foreign
tonnage under the blockade proclamation.
THE only vessels that took out cotton
after that time were the foreign steamers
that ran the blockade to procure cargoes of
cotton for the owners. They came in small
numbers, and one or two at a time. Had
the government seized one of them for its
own use, or prevented them from leaving
with cotton, they would have ceased to
Gomez
Like most other persons, and from his
official position. probably more than others,
generally, Mr.. Davis must have felt the ne
cessity for funds in foreign countries where
purchases were to be made: but having been
for more than thirty years cotton planter,
he could hardly have supposed that the
crop OF the previous season was still in the
hands OF planters in the month of February,
and as 1t is well known that his own cotton
was burned on his plantation because It
could not be sent abroad, he surely could
not have entertained any such opinions as
those ascribed to him. So far from 1t
being an easy matter to send abroad the
remnant of the crop, which remained
after the organization Of the Confederate
Government, the Governor OF Louisiana, in
1851, for prudential considerations, stopped
the shipment of cotton to New Orleans, and
there was not sufficient railroad Transports
tion to carry what was left of the crops on
the Mississippi river to the Atlantic sea-
board, there to be put on the blockade run
ners. Surely there has seldom been a less
substantial charge than that which arraigns
the Confederacy for not sending abroad
cotton which had already been disposed of,
and for not having q mercantile marine,
such as the Southern States had never pos
sessed.
From the foregoing, and as we'll from Mr..
Davis unqualified commendation of Mr..
Memminger In his book, It will be seen that
the difference referred to by Mr.. Stephens
was not that his 'Idea" was objected to by
Mr.. Davis, or that the latter was opposed to
the general policy, but because its execu-
tion was impossible. ID.

New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE stock mar
ket at the opening was irregular, but prices
in the main were per cent. lower than yes
terday's closing figures for Richmond and
Danville, 2 per cent. lower for Milwaukee
and Lake Shore, and generally a fraction
lower for the rest of the list. During the
early trade the market was weak, and at
about 11:l5 o'clock decline of u to 2 per
cent. was recorded, in which New Jersey Cen
tral, Northern Pacific preferred, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, Western Union
and Union Pacific were most conspicuous
There was then rally of to * per cent,
after which the market again became heavy
and early in the afternoon prices fell off ID
to IL per cent, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, Allegheny Central and West
ern Union being prominent in the decline,
while Richmond and West Point sold off 9,
recovered l q and reacted per cent. This
was succeeded by an advance of 2L per
cent. in Illinois Central, which sold up to
IA, and q to % per cent. in the rest of the
list, the latter for Western Union, but
in the late trade the market became
feverish and irregular, and so closed, the
chief feature being Richmond and West
Point, which advanced to 35 from 3215
and reacted to 3315. The closing prices
were q to 216 per cent below yesterdays
closing figures, st. Paul, Minneapolis and
