During General Grant's visit to Cbicugo, on November 13th, a ban-quet was tendered bim by the Army of Tennessee, at the Palmer House. It was a grand affair, prominent gentlemen from nearly every section of the country being present. Dur-ing the evening the usn .1 toasts were drunk and respouded to in an able manner. A feature was the humor-ous response ol Mart Twain to ihe toast, "The Babies—As they Com-fort UB in Our Sorrows let Us not Forget Thetu in Onr Festivities,7" was responded to by Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) in a humor-ous and highly appreciated satirical eulogy of the product of the cradle, it was greeted on all sides with laughter, IM caused considerable merriment. He said: "Babies.—as they comfort us in our sorrow, let us not lorget ih"iu in our festivities.

Jarvis' Speech at the Colored Fair. Gov. Jarvis delivered the opening address at the Colored Industrial Exposition held in Raleigh last week, and in it gave our colored friends some practical common-sense advice without any attempt at display or flourish. We print it, yiud commend it the consideration of the colored people who will all be bem fitted by it, if they reflect upon it and follow its frieudly sug-gestions : MY COLORED FRIENDS :—When requested some week or mote ago to open this, the first Iudustrial Ex-hibition ot the products of the color ed race, I consented with pleasure. I did uot expect to be so much gratified as 1 am at the display made here to day, for it far exceeds what was expected. In the few re-marks 1 shall make I shall point out as plainly as I cau the great work before you aud your race. I do uot kuow better how to begin than by quoting a motto I saw iu one ol your balls to-day. It was: "God helps those who help them-selves." He helps in this way, that whenever in this life a man is fouud trying to live up to his duty, and is true to himself, honor aud truth, that man. rich or poor, black or white, educated or iguoraut, will have fiieuds to advise and friends to help him. Iu the providence of God your condition from that iu years agone is changed. You are freemen in the Bight ol God, of men voted for a ticket bis people did not like. He was, as the result, ostra-cised. I make no comments, but tell a simple truth. If you apply the same social ostracism to one of your race who does wrong, it will be the best preventive to wrong-doing. The best means therefore of preventing wrong-doing is by draw-iug lines in yoar own race. I ask you to practice this principle. I give another incident to urge this mat-ter, lu Hyde county, a colored man returned from the penitentiary. He was made a preacher. After a few months occupancy of the pulpit he went back to the penitentiary. This brought a reproach upon the congregation and the neighborhood. It was rather an encouragement to crime. If they had closed the doors against him, it would have deterred others from doing wrong, ne that doeth right shall be blessed of bis race, and he that doeth wrong shall be accursed. I repeat that I am gratified at this exhibition in all its departments. The stock display of hogs and poultry is better than that made at the State fair. I am truly glad to see it Every farmer should try to raise his owu meat aud bread. When you make your money dou't throw it away. Buy a home, adoru it, educate your children. Then jou will feel you have something to live and to work for. I assure yon that whatever I cau do, as an individual and official, lo make 'he next ex-hibition a greater success than this one, shall be done. I leel an inter-est in the good work the colored peo-ple of North Carolina are doing.

You will find in North Carolina as genial a home, as promising a future as auy where on God's earth. It af-i. ids me particular pleasure as the Executive of vour SMte, to say that a. this time, iu all sections of our State, from the monntaius to the sea, in every county, the most amic-able relations exist between the two races. There is no reason why things should be otherwise. So far as I am concerned I feel a deep and abiding sympathy for the colored race.

WASHINGTON, November 18 — The report of United Slates Treas-ury Gilflllan, made public to-day, speaks ot the fiscal year just ended as one characterised by great transactions in connection with the refunding of war loans, and with the resumption of specie payments, after a suspension of seventeen years. The report;ahows the ag-gregate of gold coin and bullion, aud silver coin and bulliou, includ-ing standard t' .er dollars in the Treasury, has increased from 801,- 452,000 in 1876 to 8114,464.000 iu 1877, 19 9163,969,000 in 1S7S, and to 9222,807,000 iu 1.S79. The de-crease in the the aggregate note assets, includiug credits in depoaj tory banks ou other than loan account, has decreased ftonj 998,- 41.1,000 in 1870, to 888,Y73,O00 i,< 1S78, and to 859,699.000 in 1879. The most constant influence in the decrease of the note balance is that which proceeds from the purchase of silver bullion for coinage. Since resuuiptiou the Treasury has been deprived by the receipt of coin paid for bullion, of United States notes amounting probably to seven per cent, of the anuual revenues. This percentage is greater than the mar-gin betweeu the public receipts and expenditures, and apart from other influences, it would in time reuder the balance iu the Treasury first exclusively metalic. and then exclu-sively silver. This decrease of notes in the Treasury will continue until the limitation or cessation of the preseut silver dollar coinage. The silver bullion on hand decreas-ed during the year from 99,634,000 to 84,299.000. The statement of assi tsand liabili-ties of the government, October81, 1879, shows the following aggre-gate: Assets 9274,867,574, liabili-ties 8123,820.530; amount available for resumption 9151,047,044. At the close of the fiscal year ol 1879 the aggregate amount ot U. S. notes in circulation was 9346,681,- 000. Of such notes, of all denomi nations,there were redeemed during the year 964,1074100. The total coinage of the standard silver dollar is 845.200.000 of which amount 132,203,000 in the mints and iea.ury offlues, and 913,002, 000 is in circulation, the laid r be-ing 28J per cent, of the total coin-age as against 26 9 10 per cent, of the total coinage in circulating at same dale last jear. Treasurer Gilfiillan says that the rapid appreciation of silver bids fair to solve the silver problem for this country, and expresses the opiuioii that if the present influ-ence continue in operation silver may recover nearly all its former relation to gold, Accompanyiug the report aie statements ot the assistant treasur-ers at Boston and New York, showing tranactions of their respec-tive offices. The report of the Postmaster Geueral, made public to-day, shows that the total receipts of the Post-office Department for the fiscal year ending J .:ie 30, 1879, were 830,042.000, and the total expendi-tures 833,449,000. Excess of ex-penditures over receipts 83.407.OtMl. The expenditures were 8801.209 less than last year and the receipts 8764,405 greater. The estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881, show a deficiency to be pro-vided for by au appropriation of 8771.000. Estimates lor the Star service for the next fiscal year contemplated largely increased mail facilities in the State of Ken-tucky, South Carolina, North Car-olina, Teunessee. Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama. This service has alieady been advertised, the contracts to begin July 1, 1880. The Postmaster-General recom mends the enactment of a law authorizing contracts tor carrying tbo mails between the United States and the West Indies and South American ports in American GOSSIP AND NOTE BOOK. The races at Jerome Park on elec-tion day recall an incident related In the Life of AUxamirr H. Xtepkeiu, of a Georgia school master of the name of Dullie, who was a paeacber as well as a teacher, and to tan. lat-ter character he wielded the trickery and took his dram, in all respects like the rest of his brethren. He was a great politician, and tooc a lively interest in all the local affairs of the county. One Friday after-noon, when there was to be next day a horserace at the county town, one of the competitors in which was one of his political leaders, he ad-monished his boys iu the following fashion : "Boys, I huppose you know that there's going to be a horse-race in town to-morrow. Now, boya, don't you go to it. But, boys, if yon do go, dou't you bet. Whatever you do, don't you bet. But, buys, i you dv Uot—win'' what T tell von it you do bet, be sure to l»et ou Abercrombie's mare !" teUanwius. The Glacial Period and the Deluge of Noah. [From the New Orleans Democrat.] Last night an interesting lecture on the deluge of Noah was deliver-ed at the Academy of Sciences, be-fore a scientific audience, by Prof. Fontaine. The Professor, in starting, said that be was about to advance a pro-position which was entirely antag-onistic to all theories at present considered, and he was donbtful himself as to its correctness, for al-though he had established it as far as possible by facts, OUB might be mistaken as to facts. He contended that ;he deluge of Noah and the glacial period were the tertiary cloudless si mild, gentls an er, and that rain Was the earth being moistened ihy tha. miau whM ds^ouidnAni.aifht.

They were all of a later period. The Professor gave some very in-teresting views regarding the great convulsion of nature and its effect oa the formation of the world. He was listened to througheut with an tion which msnii.sted the in-torVst nf his nadienee in the sublect which he was handling, and their appreciation of his efforts. The domestic economy of Liberty Hall, the Georgia home of Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, is peculiar. It is probably the only mansion in the country where the domestic and social arrangements areenlireTy un-affected by the sickueaa or health Of the master of the house. Visitors come and go, partake <>l bis Hospit-ality, make themselves at home whether be be able to receive thetn in person or uot. Almost every train that stop, brings guests and beats away departing. Dinner is served at one, and ail who happen to be present take their places at the board. Later visitors take su|>- per, and early on"s breakfast, and the breaktasttable always brings new faces. Mr. Stephens' own habit, is to rise at nine, and after dressing, lobe lolled iu his easy chair out upon the piazza, where he usually calls lor a game of whist—an amuse-ment which has become a habit with him, and helps to solace many an hour of suffering. After an hour or two, he returns to bed, and rests till dinner, when he rises and takes the head of his table, that being the only meal he takes in the dining-room. After din'-'-r, conversation and whist are iu order, and at seven he goeB to bed. The ouly inau living who was in Congress fifty years ago is the Hon. Peleg Sprague, of Maine, now eighty eight years old. aud entirely blind. He was in the United States Senate lrom 1829 to 1835, wheu Webster, Clay, Calhoun, aud Ben-ton were members of that body. He was judge of the United States Dis-trict Court of Massachusetts from 1841 to 1861. In 1864, 520 barrels of pork would pay President Lincoln's salary for one year. In 1879 it takes 4,761 barrels of pork to pay President Hayes' salary one year. In 1865 it took 7,290,900 barrels of flour to pay 6 ]>er cent, interest on the public debt of 82.000.000,000. In 1S79 it takes 13,333,338 barrels ot floor to pay 4 per cent, on the same debt. In 1865 it took 833 bushels ol corn to pay a mortgage of 91,000. In 1879 it takes 2,499 bushels to pay the same debt. In 1866, after the war, 1.000 pounds of cotton would pay 8500 rent for a plantation. In 1879 it takes 7,143 pounds to pay the same rent. The annual income of the Church of England is 936,000,000. The church has 16,000 religious edifices including 30 calhedrals,10.000 glebe houses. 31 Episcopal palaces, and 1,000,000 acres of laud, much ol it iu good condition for tillage. the stomach.

For children of one year be pre-scribes ihe remedy, for internal use every one or two hours, ns follows : Natr. benzoic, puT.S-Oauiv. iu aq. distillat aq. menth. piper, ana 40.0 syr. cort. am-. 10.0 " For children from one to three years old lie prescribed it from seven to eight grammes tor 100 grammes ol distilled water, with same syrup: for children from three to seven years olQ he prescribed ten to fifteen grammes, and for grown persons from fifteen to twenty-live lor each loo grammes. Besides this be uses also with great success the insufflation on the diphtheiiai membrane through glass tube in serious cases three hoars, iu light times a day of the natr. benzoic pnlver. For grown people he pre-scribes for gargling a dilution of ten grammes ol this pulver lor 200 grammes of Water. The effect ol the remedy is rapid. After I *eiit.v four or thirty-six hours the feverish symptoms disap-pear completely and the temperature aud pulse become uurmal. This remedy was used also with the same success by Dr. Biahain ISraun aud Professor Klebs.ui i'rag; Dr. Sena lor. in Cassel, and several others in Russia and Germany. Hoping that the publication through your widely spread paper Will prove beneficial in the United States, I reuiaiu, yours. VI ry truly, N. SlUSlIKIN", Minister of Rossis to lue U.

John Wesley at Work. [From tbo Sunday at Home.] AB he travelled to aud fro odd mistakes sometimes happened. Ar-riving at York, he went into the church at St. Saviour's gate. The rector, one Mr. Cordemi. had often warned his congregation against going to hear "that vagabond Wes-ley'' preach. It was usual in that day formiuistersof tbe Establish-ment to wear a cassock or g»»n, just as we everywhere in France BBC the French abbe. Wesley had on his gown, like a University iu.au in a University town. Mr. Cordeaii, not knowing who he was, ottered him bis pulpit. Wesley was quit.' willing, aud alwavr ready. Sermons leaped impromptu from bis lips, and this was an impressive one. At its close the clerk asked the lector if he knew who the preacher was. '•So" "Why, sir, It was that vaga-bond Wesley !" f'Ah, indeed Tsanl the astonished clergyman; -well, never miud, wo had a good sermon." a e very-cases ihreo —Contentment is the most preci ous jewel of human life; and the I way to attain it is, the surmounting difncilties by curbing vicious inch uations, fierce, unruly passions, aod inordinate apjietites, in overcoming temptations, aud in bearing injuries with patience. What Not to Kill. Tbe French minister of finance has done a good deed iu causing a placard to be posted which it would he wise for citiseiis ol all c*.uuti.es to na^e before their eyes. It tells larmers, tpoitsuie.i. boys and Others what creatuies not to kill, as lol-lows : Hedge-hog—Lives mostly ou mice, email rodents,'slugs and grubs— animals huittul to agriculture. Don't kill the hedge hog. •road—Farm assistant; he des troys twenty to thirty insects per hour. Dou't kill the toad.
