The largest number Of Uitted States YES
Fsels ever together ate place in the
world was at Portsmouth harbor, about the
middle of September. They were the
Tennessee, Alliance, Yantic, Enterprise
Kearsage, Tallapoosa, Dispatch, Vandalia
Leyaen, Congress, Sabine, Kansas, Guard
Emerald, Plymouth, Omaha, Cohassett and
Massachusetts, and people who saw them
were almost led to believe that Uncle Sam
did have a navy after all.
The secretary of state of Michigan has
just published q statement in regard to
the crops in that state founded on the re.
turns Of threshers. Owing to heavy rains
the harvest was about two weeks later than
usual. In the four southern tiers Of coun-
tics 1O5,61O acres of wheat have been
threshed. This area is but z per cent. of
the average Of these counties last spring.
The yield vas 1866, ,322 bushels, being an
average of seventeen and q half bushels
per aero.
Much speculation is INDUCED in, in re-
gard to Secretary Folgers successor I'm
case he resigns, by reason Of his being >
candidate for governor. The better opin-
ion seems to be that he. will not resign at all.
The prospect of his election Is 90 dis
couraglng, that it is believed he will hold
or to tho treasury, on the ground Of the
superior value Of "a bird in the hand,
Owing to the dissensions in the party,
prominent Republicans regard his election
an impossibility.
The prince of Wales has taken three
weeks of mineral water and rest at HON.
burg, drinking from the nauseous spring
with scrupulous regularity, keeping early
hours, and eating plain food, in order to
get over the effects of London high living.
He is now in Scotland for month of High
land air, and it is hoped that he will be in
satisfactory condition for the hunting sea-
son. After that will come such arduous
public duties as presiding on cornerstone
occasions and at dinners.
With respect to the colored race, Alex
-ander n. Stephens, democratic candidate
for governor of Georgia, in a recent
speech, deprecated the policy of race
issues, as being injurious to the interests
of the colored people, and he advised
them to vote for that man they liked
best, but when the colored race band to-
gether against the whites, they arise against
their truest friends. His entire life proved
him to be warm friend to the negro, and
as long Is he lived he would contribute to
their good. This certainly was no empty
boast, as the testimony of the colored peo-
pie themselves would prove.
All the Grant medals sent to the assay
Office for distribution among those entitled
to them in New York city end neighbor-
hood have been claimed by their owners,
excepting four, which have remained for
two months uncalled for. The owners of
these four medals who are so Indifferent to
the honor conferred upon them are Charles
E. Cornell, son of the governor; BENJAMIN
F. Tracy, judge of the court Of appeals;
ex-Mayor F. A. Schroeder, of Brooklyn,and
ex-Congressman John D. Lawson. These
gentlemen spurned the servile badge of dis
honor. The remainder of the BOG funkiss
accept the brand of disgraceful personal
vassalage.

rison, near Newark, N. j., last week, at tho

whom she aided to draps public buildings
in Newark at the death of Washington.
She was the mother Of eleven children, of

Mr.. Jay Gould in an interview with re-
porter of the World amusingly explodes
the stories put about by the New York
Journal Of Commerce and the New York
Times, that he had been trying to buy
those newspapers. Itappears that one of
the editors Of the Journal Of Commerce
asked him to join syndicate to purchase
that paper, but when he asked him to pro-
duce trial balance Of the concern it was
not forthcoming. As to the Times he says
the only financial transactions he has had
with Jones of the Times were that he once
gave Jones $25,OOO to save the Grant Fund
and once refused to pay Jones $3.50 a line
for inserting a contradiction of libel
which Jones confessed he had been paid at
that rate for inserting.
