Except her own rela-tives she bss .eceived nobody. Her sorrow is very deep. To-day she received telegrams of condolence from all the sovereigns of Europe. Madrid is in mourning. No lady in the capital was so popular as the Countess Montijo ; no bouse so hos-pitable, no heart so kiud. Through her ballrooms had passed all tbe beauty and magnificence «t Spain. Her social tact was unrivalled. She was perfectly unaffected, extremely witty, and il there was any differ-ence between tbe Countess Montijo and other ladles ol her rank, it is that she was e'en more simple iu 1 her manners.an nveu more anxious | to please than they. Her palace, ' both in Madrid and at Oaramau-ohel, was tbe centre of the very highest society, and her death has I robbed tbe royal nuptials of almost their brightest attraction. The Currency. I Uy Cable to tbe N Y. Herald ] MADRID, NOV. 25,1879. Tbe obsequies of the Countess Montijo, mother of the ex-Empress Kngeiiie, were held here yesterday. They were attended by all the dis tinguisbed people iD Madrid, by all the ambassadors, by the Duke of Tetuan, Minister of State; tbe Couut of Cosse Brissac, representa-tive of the Empress Eugenie; by the Duke of Ternan-Nunez and all the leading members of the French colony and many French travelers passiug through the capital. The Duke of Alva aud the Duke of 11 n.i.-eai received the distinguished mourners iu a consei vatory attach I ed to the Montijo Palace in the Plaza do los Angeles, where, in a chapclle artiente, was a superb cata-falque. The body lay in a case of lead within a cofliu liued with bilver lace and covered with a cloth and cushion ol golden tissue. The cata Caique was bung with stuffs of yel-low satin, embroidered iu colors and adorned with rich work of silver. Two halberdiers of tbe royal cham-ber and guard watched at its bead aud twrrat its toot. A procession surrounded tbe cofliu, entoning a hymn and holding the lights that are customary in these ceremonies. A solemn mass of the angels was being sung when the doors were opened to tlie mourners, many of whom wei. weeping and allot'whom were deeply moved.

Times.] An exhumation took place the other day at the Ccmelety of Mont iniirte. in Paris, which recall, a rather melancholy passage ol Fran-co Irish history, and one, too, which is not without a shade of interest to Americana. The remains disinter-red were those of Pamela, daughter or at all events tbe reputed daugh-ter, ol l'bilhppe Egalite, aud the notorious Mme. De Genlis. Tbe story ot Pamela is, on the whole, a sad one. There were euougb of hopeful blossoms around her earlier years, but she went down to her grave in indigence, and only through the kindly oflices of some Irish residents in Paris were her remains lately rescued Irom ititer-inent on the /wise commune, the Pot-ters Field ol French cemeteries. She was educated with the Duke ol Orleans, as an English orphan, but she was more than ball acknowl edged as the sister of Louis Phil-iippe, the future King of Franca It was iu those days that the Hot-spur of the Geraldines, Lord Ed-ward Fitzgerald, was in Paris, learning the trade of revolution and formulating those plans which led up to the disastrous rebel .on of 1798 in Ireland. He mil Pamela, loved her aud was loved in return. Lord Edward was tbe filth son of tbe Duke of Leinster, was a gal-lant soldier, and was certainly no ill mate fur the natural daughtei of Phillippe of Oileans. So tbe lovers were married at Tournay in 1790, and the Inline King Louis Phillippe was present at the c .cinouy. They ate said to have lived happily until Lord Edward met bis melancholy and untimely end in tbe rebellion of 1798. •'Only break it to her gently," was his request as be lay wounded and a prisoner iu Ibe hands of his enemies. Time must have assuaged her grief, foi she was subsequently married to Mr. Pitcairn, the American consul at Hamburg, from whom, however. she was altet ward separated. She then lived in retirement in the conn try, resuming the name ol Fitzger-ald, but when Louis Phillippe be came King she wetn up to Pans. Her former friend, companion and seboolieilow refused to receive her. She died in 1831 in poverty The ground in which she was buried had been purchased for ten years only by the heirs of Mr. Pitcairn, aud SOTTING WATCH AND WAKD. Tbe opening ceremonies were con-ducted by the Coude de Tendilla, grandee ol Spain, to whom, accord ing to the quaint Spanish usage, the body was delivered. The Duke ot Alva advanced and said in a clear voice, -1 deliver over to Your Ex-cellency, in compliance witb the wish ol the family ol tin deceased, the body of Her Excellency the Countess of Montijo. Oo you take charge ul it *" TheConde de Tendilla replied :— "1 do take charge of it." Then theConde, in turn, address-ed the royal holy of halberdiers,. who were present in full uujloim,! I and said :— "Motiteros of the royal chamber ! and guard, do you take charge ol | i the body ol the Countess .Montijo I" The halberdiers responded, "We ■ In take charge ol it," The nsnal prayers were chanted and the eoffin raised from its bed. jit was then canied through the ' midst ol the mourners to tbe head ol the staircase, where it was re-ceived ii\ the halberdiers, ucl by them placed in a beautiful e*tufa\ (hearse) of massive mabogau}, rich- i iv decorated witb branches and gar-lauds of flowers, with hangings ol white satin and tassels of gold. Tbe gilded edges of the cofliu gleamed in tbe sunlight. IN SOLEMN PBOCESSIOX. The hearse was drawn by eight horses. On their beads were nod-ding plumes wherein black aud gold were strangely contrasted. Tbe sumptuous carriage which (be Countess had used on state occasions followed slowly on behind the estu-la, and her favorite hotses' heads were decorated witb pink aud white bathers. Then came a company of King's halbei ilieis. The chief mourn-era followed in two carriages. They were the Duke of Alva, the Couut of Cosse Brissac, the. Couut of Goitant Gommioee and two repre-sentatives of the family of Alva. Behind them was a magnificent de-file of six bundled eqiiippages. By the law of the Spanish ritual neither ladies nor the ueares'frelatives were allowed to join tbe procession. The Court was fully represented. There were mayor domos and life guards, lords ol ibe bedchamber and lords of tbe household. The pageant slowly made its way through tbe streets, which were hushed into re-spectful silence. At length it reach-ed the Qampo Santo Jose aud drew up before its gates. The coffin was taken In -,i tin- hearse and placed upon an wlrade which had been prepared tor its reception. A pro ceesion of chaplains aud churchmen, headed by the Abbot iu bis cope, the crucifix borne iu front.advanced to meet tbe body. A new consign-ment ol the body was made, aud at its close the Abbot, deacon and .•■ub deacon threw holy watei op the corpse, and solemn music rose into tin air, chanting "Sil nomen Domi-ni beuedictum. Laudate pueri Dominant." Then, with all its rich adornings, witb its golden cushion and its » reatbs of (lowers, tbe Coffin was lowered into a provisional vault. ECGENIB^ GBIEF. The Empress Eugenie, since her arrival, has lived iu retiremeut at REDUCTION OF INTEREST. The reduction on tbe interest bearing debt of the United 8tates, from its highest point, on August 31, 1865, to November 1, 1879, is $583,S8o."»94,of which amount $105,- 160,900 was accomplished since tbe refunding operations were com-menced on May 1, 1871. At the highest point tbe annual interest on the debt was $150,977,- 697, while it is now $83,773,778 only. There has, therefore, beeu a total reduction iu this charge of $67,203,919. The total annual reduction of in-terest under these refunding opera-tions since March, 1877, has beeu $14,297,177, while tbe saving on this account, growing out of the operations of tbe preseut ye* alone, is nearly nine millions, ($8,803,707,) ar.d tbe total annual saving in all tbe refunding operations ol tbe gov-ernment since 1871, is nearly twen-ty millions ($19,907,607.) These luuding transactions are believed to be without parallel in finaucial iiistory. The government has still out-standing $273,681,350 in six per cents, and more than $500,000,000 in five per cents, all of which will mature in 1881. Tbe refunding ol lbe>-9 bonds into four per c-uts will save$10,473 IKMJIU interest annually The credit of the government is now- such that it is not improbable that long before its maturity tb present debt may be reluuded iuto three and a half per cent bonds, which is oue half per cent more tbau the rate of the English eon-sols, thus saving tb tl g vcrument a large additional amount of inter est. RESUMPTION. 'I here was uodemand tor pay men I ol tlie notes ol the government, aud tin gold coin iu the Treasury, which amounted to oue hundred aud thir-ty- Hive millions, on the day of re-sumption, int:eased more tbau thirty-six millions iu the next teu months, the amouut held on the lit st day »' November, 1879, exceed-ing one hundred and seventy-out millions.

The refunding of the debt has placed idle luuds in tbe hands ol such holders as have declined to re invest iu the four pel cents. The good bai vests, the shipment of pro duce, tbe large production ot gold and silver fioni tbe mines, aud tbe importation ol gold which still c.-u-tntues will certainly make money abundant, .mil have already stimu-lated speculation loan uuhealthy degree, and will be likely to do so in the futuie. >'oi ioiig hence, the s|>eeie which bassoloug beeu hoard-id, or which has hitherto been used only in payment to the government of duties on imports or in the pur-that apoo the day of resumption the available currency would be '■•wlistely increased by tbe addi tioo i its volume of the coiu in the oatutry ; but it is now evident that tats expectation has not been real i^d. <The amouut ol coin and currency in"actual circulation at the present title is believed to be not greatly i» excess of tbe average amount daring the five preceding jears. RBCOMMENDS BANKS TO HAVE HOLD wwmrra The Comptroller urgently reuom mends that all the national banks shall take advantage ol the present influx ot gold to accumulate In tbeir vaults an amount equal to the total cash reserve required by law. lie indulges the hope that the re-pofta of another year may show them to be |>ossessed of at least $100,000,000 of gold coin. If this coin, which is still flowing iuto the Treasury, shall also be largely aoco mul.ited by the banks, it will be more likely to become diffused among tbe people. This would cer^ tainly be the case if tbe smaller de-nominations ot notes were with-drawn from circulation,wbich might perhaps be done without incou venience if postal orders were issued iu small ami.tints, and at a mini mum cost, al every postoffice.

Dear Sir:—During the month of October I made a short trip to North Carobua for the purpose of observa-tion, or to make a tour of prospect-ing, with a view to make North Carolina my future home. It is true I was somewhat disappointed in regard to the general contour ot the country, and most say that farming is somewhat backward and poorly done, in many places. I have seen many places which are invit-ing, and where I could make myself at home. Was particularly pleased with the country around Greens-boro, Guilford county. Between Greensboro and Raleigh are many fine farms, but it will be a long while belore it will compare with farms in Dauphin couutv. Pa, or Pennsylvania in general." The soil of North Carolina is good and ler tile iu the main, so lar as my obser-vation extended. Some very fertile and easy of cultivation. Timber is wanting in many places. The dim ate is inviting and the people are very friendly aud hospitable, but there are ratber too mauy negroes for most of us Northern folks. I am not satisfied witb my visit, but Intend to make another visit next summer if my life and health is spared, aud then take more time and a more proper season. At Kaleigh I made the acquaint-ance of many eminent men. Col. Polk, the Commissioner of Agricul-ture, is more tbau au ordinary man in my opiuiou, just tbe man "for the place he occupies, and I have no doubt he will advance the farming iuterest of tbe State materially.

Result of this year's farming including five barns of to-bacco cured by renters: Worked eight bands and live horses. Cured 38 barns fine yellow tobacco, crop somewhat damaged by flea bogs. Barns will average 600 lbs. Corn crop aeriously damaged by drought —140 bbls. Wheat 280 bushels, bowed oats on com land died out and returns poor. Spent on present crop of tobacco •106 for Peruvian Guano, 200 lbs per acre when used alone, half this quantity wben need with stable manure.

Never cul-tivated new ground in tobacco tbe second year. Prefers for tobacco crop eoru land rested one year. New ground should rest tbe second year. Should not be sowed in whea.. The third year will make the finest crop. Favors high topping, 14 to 10 leaves, and high priming, if not, tbe ground leaves afiord too good a hiding place for worms. Hanging for curing : six to saven plants on a stick, and sticks ten iucbes apart in barn. Much tobacco is injured by putting too thick in barn. Takes a young man to core successfully. Has bad but little experience with commercial ferlilixers. Expects to use on next crop Peruvian guano and Gilliam's fertilizer mixed in equal parts.

MADRID, NOV. 25,1879.
Tbe obsequies of the Countess
Montijo, mother of the ex-Empress
Kngeiiie, were held here yesterday.
They were attended by all the dis
tinguisbed people iD Madrid, by all
the ambassadors, by the Duke of
Tetuan, Minister of State; tbe
Couut of Cosse Brissac, representa-tive
of the Empress Eugenie; by
the Duke of Ternan-Nunez and all
the leading members of the French
colony and many French travelers
passiug through the capital. The
Duke of Alva aud the Duke of
11 n.i.-eai received the distinguished
mourners iu a consei vatory attach
I ed to the Montijo Palace in the
Plaza do los Angeles, where, in a
chapclle artiente, was a superb cata-falque.
The body lay in a case of
lead within a cofliu liued with bilver
lace and covered with a cloth and
cushion ol golden tissue. The cata
Caique was bung with stuffs of yel-low
satin, embroidered iu colors and
adorned with rich work of silver.
Two halberdiers of tbe royal cham-ber
and guard watched at its bead
aud twrrat its toot. A procession
surrounded tbe cofliu, entoning a
hymn and holding the lights that
are customary in these ceremonies.
A solemn mass of the angels was
being sung when the doors were
opened to tlie mourners, many of
whom wei. weeping and allot'whom
were deeply moved.

An exhumation took place the
other day at the Ccmelety of Mont
iniirte. in Paris, which recall, a
rather melancholy passage ol Fran-co
Irish history, and one, too, which
is not without a shade of interest to
Americana. The remains disinter-red
were those of Pamela, daughter
or at all events tbe reputed daugh-ter,
ol l'bilhppe Egalite, aud the
notorious Mme. De Genlis. Tbe
story ot Pamela is, on the whole,
a sad one. There were euougb of
hopeful blossoms around her earlier
years, but she went down to her
grave in indigence, and only
through the kindly oflices of some
Irish residents in Paris were her
remains lately rescued Irom ititer-inent
on the /wise commune, the Pot-ters
Field ol French cemeteries.
She was educated with the Duke
ol Orleans, as an English orphan,
but she was more than ball acknowl
edged as the sister of Louis Phil-iippe,
the future King of Franca
It was iu those days that the Hot-spur
of the Geraldines, Lord Ed-ward
Fitzgerald, was in Paris,
learning the trade of revolution and
formulating those plans which led
up to the disastrous rebel .on of
1798 in Ireland. He mil Pamela,
loved her aud was loved in return.
Lord Edward was tbe filth son
of tbe Duke of Leinster, was a gal-lant
soldier, and was certainly no
ill mate fur the natural daughtei of
Phillippe of Oileans. So tbe lovers
were married at Tournay in 1790,
and the Inline King Louis Phillippe
was present at the c .cinouy. They
ate said to have lived happily until
Lord Edward met bis melancholy
and untimely end in tbe rebellion
of 1798. •'Only break it to her
gently," was his request as be lay
wounded and a prisoner iu Ibe
hands of his enemies. Time must
have assuaged her grief, foi she
was subsequently married to Mr.
Pitcairn, the American consul at
Hamburg, from whom, however.
she was altet ward separated. She
then lived in retirement in the conn
try, resuming the name ol Fitzger-ald,
but when Louis Phillippe be
came King she wetn up to Pans.
Her former friend, companion and
seboolieilow refused to receive her.
She died in 1831 in poverty The
ground in which she was buried had
been purchased for ten years only
by the heirs of Mr. Pitcairn, aud
SOTTING WATCH AND WAKD.
Tbe opening ceremonies were con-ducted
by the Coude de Tendilla,
grandee ol Spain, to whom, accord
ing to the quaint Spanish usage, the
body was delivered. The Duke ot
Alva advanced and said in a clear
voice, -1 deliver over to Your Ex-cellency,
in compliance witb the
wish ol the family ol tin deceased,
the body of Her Excellency the
Countess of Montijo. Oo you take
charge ul it *"
TheConde de Tendilla replied :—
"1 do take charge of it."
Then theConde, in turn, address-ed
the royal holy of halberdiers,.
who were present in full uujloim,!
I and said :—
"Motiteros of the royal chamber
! and guard, do you take charge ol |
i the body ol the Countess .Montijo I"
The halberdiers responded, "We
■ In take charge ol it,"
The nsnal prayers were chanted
and the eoffin raised from its bed.
jit was then canied through the
' midst ol the mourners to tbe head
ol the staircase, where it was re-ceived
ii\ the halberdiers, ucl by
them placed in a beautiful e*tufa\
(hearse) of massive mabogau}, rich- i
iv decorated witb branches and gar-lauds
of flowers, with hangings ol
white satin and tassels of gold. Tbe
gilded edges of the cofliu gleamed
in tbe sunlight.
IN SOLEMN PBOCESSIOX.
The hearse was drawn by eight
horses. On their beads were nod-ding
plumes wherein black aud gold
were strangely contrasted. Tbe
sumptuous carriage which (be
Countess had used on state occasions
followed slowly on behind the estu-la,
and her favorite hotses' heads
were decorated witb pink aud white
bathers. Then came a company of
King's halbei ilieis. The chief mourn-era
followed in two carriages. They
were the Duke of Alva, the Couut
of Cosse Brissac, the. Couut of
Goitant Gommioee and two repre-sentatives
of the family of Alva.
Behind them was a magnificent de-file
of six bundled eqiiippages. By
the law of the Spanish ritual neither
ladies nor the ueares'frelatives were
allowed to join tbe procession. The
Court was fully represented. There
were mayor domos and life guards,
lords ol ibe bedchamber and lords
of tbe household. The pageant
slowly made its way through tbe
streets, which were hushed into re-spectful
silence. At length it reach-ed
the Qampo Santo Jose aud drew
up before its gates. The coffin was
taken In -,i tin- hearse and placed
upon an wlrade which had been
prepared tor its reception. A pro
ceesion of chaplains aud churchmen,
headed by the Abbot iu bis cope,
the crucifix borne iu front.advanced
to meet tbe body. A new consign-ment
ol the body was made, aud at
its close the Abbot, deacon and
.•■ub deacon threw holy watei op the
corpse, and solemn music rose into
tin air, chanting "Sil nomen Domi-ni
beuedictum. Laudate pueri
Dominant." Then, with all its rich
adornings, witb its golden cushion
and its » reatbs of (lowers, tbe Coffin
was lowered into a provisional
vault.

REDUCTION OF INTEREST.
The reduction on tbe interest
bearing debt of the United 8tates,
from its highest point, on August
31, 1865, to November 1, 1879, is
$583,S8o."»94,of which amount $105,-
160,900 was accomplished since tbe
refunding operations were com-menced
on May 1, 1871.
At the highest point tbe annual
interest on the debt was $150,977,-
697, while it is now $83,773,778
only. There has, therefore, beeu a
total reduction iu this charge of
$67,203,919.
The total annual reduction of in-terest
under these refunding opera-tions
since March, 1877, has beeu
$14,297,177, while tbe saving on
this account, growing out of the
operations of tbe preseut ye* alone,
is nearly nine millions, ($8,803,707,)
ar.d tbe total annual saving in all
tbe refunding operations ol tbe gov-ernment
since 1871, is nearly twen-ty
millions ($19,907,607.) These
luuding transactions are believed
to be without parallel in finaucial
iiistory.
The government has still out-standing
$273,681,350 in six per
cents, and more than $500,000,000
in five per cents, all of which will
mature in 1881. Tbe refunding ol
lbe>-9 bonds into four per c-uts will
save$10,473 IKMJIU interest annually
The credit of the government is
now- such that it is not improbable
that long before its maturity tb
present debt may be reluuded iuto
three and a half per cent bonds,
which is oue half per cent more
tbau the rate of the English eon-sols,
thus saving tb tl g vcrument
a large additional amount of inter
est.
RESUMPTION.

amounted to oue hundred aud thir-ty-
Hive millions, on the day of re-sumption,

good bai vests, the shipment of pro
duce, tbe large production ot gold
and silver fioni tbe mines, aud tbe
importation ol gold which still c.-u-tntues
will certainly make money
abundant, .mil have already stimu-lated

in the futuie. >'oi ioiig hence, the

apoo the day of resumption
