retiring General Grant with the rank
and pay of a general of the army.
He says that under ordinary circum-
stances he would be glad to do Gen
eral Grant honor, but now is not the
time for the Congress of the United
States to come to his relief. He as
sociated himself in Wall street with
spectators who have ruined his for
tunes and the regulations of his
partners by the most disreputable
practices that have ever been ex-
posed In the financial transactions of
this country. He thinks the habit of
increasing the pay of. men who are
receiving as much as $500 a year
ought to be stopped until the men in
the ranks and their widows and or
phans have received their dues atthe
hand of the government.
President Arthur has had lively
week Of hand-shaking, and the ush-
ers at the White House have been
unusually busy. The visiting bicy-
clers came down upon the Chief
Magistrate in great numbers; many
Of the strangers who came to the un-
yelling of the Luther statute called
to pay their respects, and a large
delegation of the bishops and minis
ters Of the African M. E. church, in
conference at Baltimore, came over
with their wives and sisters, cousins
and aunts to shake hands.

fortune IN crops this year.
Mr.. C. Elan has had his house
painted recently, which adds much

house. k
Rev. II. G. McEuen filed an
appointment at the NJ. E. Church at
Pee Dee last Sunday. He will also
conduct services again next Sunday
at the same place. He is an anti
sanctificationist, and should be en-
couraged so far as practicable.
The union Sabbath-school at the
NJ. E. church north of Pee Dee is
progressing finely, with Mr..
James Noble as the superintendent.
John Palmer has had his house
and stock of goods insured.
IF. NJ. Welch has had the mis-
fortune TO lose several OF his horses
recently, their death being caused
from glanders. This is fatal dis
ease among horses, and should be
handled very cautiously.

THAT our ancestors emanated from
the shade of tree land Is one of the
points on which Moses and Darwin
agree, and it seems hardly probable
that the descendants Of forest
race should be damaged by a little
tree shade, especially where the
shade is confined to the six warmest
months of the year. After October,
when sunshine becomes preferable
to shade, trees do not obstruct the
rays of the sun. They merely mod
crate its summer glare, and at noon
offer the best possible refuge from
the brooding heat. No human con-
triyances can rival the anti-caloric
arrangements of a leafy canopy
free access to all the winds of Heav-
en- and a roof impervious not only to
the direct light of the SUMS rays,
but also to the warmth which is felt
through a shingle roof as plainly as
through fimsy sunshade. But q
shade tree, with its hundred strata
Of light absorbing leaves, interposes
an effectual barrier to the hottest
sun; and moreover, plants have a
direct refrigerating influence, analo-
gous to that of animal bodies in gen.
Grating warmth. Even under the
blazing sun the juice of oranges,
watermellons, apples, etc., is from
ten to fifteen degrees colder than
that of stagnant water and on cloudy
summer days the air of treeless
district is considerably warmer than
the atmosphere of shady forest on
sunny days.-Dr. Ossoald IN Lippen-
