about Dir. William A. Smiths crib-rOcklng.
1 remember well that IN 1856 | was stu
dent at Randolph-Mac College, DIR.
Smith being president at that time, ana
think it was in the month OF Aprn tnat
news came 10 the college that DIR. Smiths
cradle had commenced to rock again.
Quite number Of the students went over
to seeit, and returned, saying 1t was GER
tainlv SO. and that the Doctor had 1t taken
10 pieces 10 prevent it from rocking. 1t
was reported at the time that one of the
Doctors children had died in the cradle,
and every year afterward. on the same day
of the month anG at the same hour. the
cradle would rock. wonder If this was
the same cradle spoken of in Lynchburg."

LOngitRdinal Commerce.

Nothing in the affairs of international in-
terests, ard outward as we'll as great in
ward trade-progress, is more assured than
the good results to follow after the propos
ed centennial exposition of 1892 shall have
contributed its share to the enlargement of
the commerce Of our country, The ports
of the South Atlantic aud Gulf States will
be the counters over which much of the in
ward and outward trade for Central and
South America and Mexioo and the South
Sea Irelands will fiud its way.
The completion Of the long projected
work Of a. st8am5 Gas canal around the
Muscle Shoals of the reuReasee river,
which have hitherto obstructed contiunn.as
steamboat trauspo' tation or that stream
| between Kingston and Knoxville and its
mouth, make s rev era in much develop
ment aud progress and will make it prac-
ticeb!e to She coal and cokiug interests Of
Southwest Virginia TO place their products
along the Valleys Of tho Tennessee, Ohio,
and Mississippi rivers ard at New Orleans
al rates cheaper than By alI-railroad trans
poFtation.
II is said that the Western interests WHICH
have been pressing the construction Of the
Hennepi0, ship canal across the State CT
Illinois from Chicago to the Mississippi riy-
or, will appear before congress at the pres
ent session in still further efforts to secure
the commencement of the work, which it
is intended shall unite tie transportation on
the lakes with the Mississippi, and practi-
cally make them one. This movement is
also il the interest Of longitudinal Gon-
merce.
Tho extensive system OF railroads operat-
ed under the management of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia lines, are COM
menciDg again to make Brunsaick, Ge0f-
gia, on the Gulf coast, a port Of enlarged
foreign trade.
Chicago has now the Illinois Central rail-
road solid aud under one control to New
Orleans, apd that city has commenced d
new enterprise Cos obtainiog another South
ern port 10 it's direet interests at Tampa,
Florida, through the means Of rail

proposes now to invite the representatives
of the governments of Central and South

ing the international Congress, when they
shall return to their homes, to take q steam
