Kate and Ufopf WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1879. Gose to meet Tilden and Ewing. From Greenland's Icy mountains To India's coral strand, A sicker man than Tilden Will neither breathe nor stand To day. And now Sen. Butler has bis other eye cocked and blackened.

OVB GHAUT TBADE. Never before was there such an immense grain business transacted on the Atlantic sea board as at tbe present time. Philadelphia and New York are the two great grain depots, although Baltimore and Boston are alio doing a vast business in breadstuff. New York, however Is the principal mart. There is an immense amount of grain either in the elevators or on the road.

There were, for instance, on Saturday lflet.2,802,000 bushels of wheat cn the Erie canal, as well as bushels of corn, 784,000 bushels of barley and 165,000 bushels of i ye and barley. Tbe shipments to the same city for the four weeks ending October 18 were 11,876,440 bushels wheat, 8,701,881 bushels corn, 2,010,835 bushels oats, 1,876,712 bushels barley, end 576,048 bushels rye, making a grand total of 24,650,416 bushels of grain in a tirgle month. Most of thegrain is shipped to Europe as fast as it arrives, but there has been a sleeking eff in tbe dtmacd from abroad in consequence of the rapid advance in prices. The speculative ijec is thus shown to bave been disadvantageous to our beet interest, and indeed there seems to have been little cause for it. The extent of our grain supply is very well known and the demand frcm abroad is slso pretty clear lv ascertained, and every effort made to push up prices apart from tbe natural demand must bave a tendency to interfere with the event current of the export trade.

It pleasant to know prices of grain are once more up to figures that are remunerative.but net ex cessive, thus benefitting the farmers withc.ct being oppressive to other classes of the commu' nily. Tbe grain received in a single month at the one port of New York would require fleet of six hundred vessels, each of one thou' sand Ions, to carry it to Europe.

TDK ESTATE OF JAY COOKE A CO The siatemet't tbtt Ihe creditors of Jay Cook'.

have held on lo their claims, in now real'ze the full amount of their value, is gouitwbtt surprising, but the msnuer of the deroouHiaiiou of its truth is clear and com prrbfcsift'. The present anomalous condi tion of iLe etock rmiket, has, of couise some thing to do with it, but there cm be no doubt that t'r Nor! hern Fadfic Bailroad Ccrupary is larml'j demonstrating the wisdom which Drfiected it. and the near future promises to vindicate the foresight of tba great banker, which, although not sufficiently se sitive and acute to perceive the grave mutake ss4 to the financial condition uf tfier country, which everybody in common with himself was making, was broad enough lo gtasp the great problem cf the development of the NorthweEt. a problem which is now beicg worked out by the light of wledom, after the nation has recovered frcm the nock of the panic, which even the wisest of us failed to presage, and of which the fail ure of tVe great Philadelphia banking house and he temporary stoppage of the plan of the Northern Pacific thorcughfare were only inci dents. Everybody will recall, with feelings mot or lets keen, the suspension of the most widely known banking initilution In this country, and the thiver of terror it sect through all of the business of the nallon.

Many dark years have followed and the clouds which gathered thick atd scmbre seemed at times to com plelely hide the sun, and there were periods when even hope appealed to bave deserted us. But the dawn of brighter days has come, at its mellow irfluecce has softened the harsher judgments of the past. Time was when Mr. Ceoke fullered as badly in rep utation as in fortune, but the world has of late come lo perceive tL.it be was at least an honest mar; and circuaiuaoces begin to conspire to demonstrate that he was a wise one. When tbe great route through the Northwest has gathered about it a wealth as great as thet of any ether part of the country, and when its pathway strewn with the opulence of she most fruitful soil within our boundaries when States with populations of million: are tributary to it as the main artery through which their products flaw t) tbe great world without ii fact when all that Mr.

Cooke saw in the fu ture for this vast stretch of territory has been realised, that which once appeared lo be his folly will be bio most I siting monument. Is it wild speculation to dream of (he accomplish meat of this Already at Dulutb, the "acniih city of the uncalled seas," millions of bushels millions of bushels of grain are gathering week by week, and tbe future is bright with promise and golden with hope. Witamjton Every Evening. At 8 o'clock test night, to we are gravely informed, Tilden'g itoop at Qramercy Park was swarming with undertakers with coffins under their arms.

Be had a sort of lecoroofive head plaslered over his chut like a finer end ague pad, and as it emitted its lurid rays he was tbe otjeetof con eidersble attention. He carried a thct gun in one hand and a sword in iLe ether, while two bloodhc puds trctted at his heels.

London, Nov. 4 Daring the past few days aa emigrating scare has taken possession of a large proportion of the miners of Durham and Northumberland, in consequence of the receipt of most unfavorable news from their brother miners who recently emigrated to New South Wales, and who have been utterly deceived by the promises of profitable employment there.

DISTORT OF AUNTIE COLLER'B LIFE An Adopted Child In Early Tears Was Twice Married Has OS Living Descendants Three Daughters and Danghter in law In this City. In a recent issue of the Philadelphia Record there appeared a statement about a lady inmate of the Baptist Home in that city, which is correct in every particular except the name The lady's name is not "Auntie Kate," fg staUd, but Mrs.

Sarah Caller, who has three daughters and a daughter in law living in this city. The names of the daughters are Mrs. Elizabeth Heplsr, No. 110 South Fourth street, Mrs. Sarah Coller, No.

421 Spruce street, and Mrs. James Swarlr, of Cumru township. The daughter in law is Mrs. Solomon Coller, the mother of Mrs. Howard F.

Boyer and Mrs. Fred. Eben, who resides with Mrs. Boyer at No. 536 Franklin street.

Following is the statement in the Record with the proper name substituted. A WOMAN LOKO SIKCB A CENTENARIAN. "If I could only get rid of this cough, I wonld be as smart as any of you." "Auntie" Coller, who thus spoke, is an inmate of the Baptist Home and is recorded at 108 yeais old. But "Auntie" Coller's cough will never leave her until the vital spark which has lighted the windows of her soul for nearly one hundred and seven years his gone out forever. txite is a raoEcript irom ion iamuy reoora Sarah Coller.

Born November 15. 1772." "According to this record, therefore, on the loth should sbe live (ill that time, "Auntie" Coller will have reached to the remarkable ace of one hundred and seven years. Of her former history but little can be ascertained beyond the fact that she was born near and in early childhood was adopted by one William Schaffer, who belonged in Conshohockeo, where she lived until she was eighteen years of BaT, when the came lo Philadelphia. MARRIED TWICE HER DESCUHDAHTS. At the age of thirty she married a man named Dumautet, by whom she bad four children, two of whom are still living Mrs.

Sarah Morris, seventy three years of age, residing at 2319 Jefferson street, and Mrs. Ann By ere, sixty eight years of age, who lives in Frankford, Her husband died soon after the birth of their youngest child, and subsequently "Auntie" married ber second husband, whose name she still bears. The second marriage proved to be an unfortunate one, Coller being a thriftless man, and, to use Auntie's own words, she "got lired of liim drove him off." Slia euppGit html, auJ a.t her children by going cut r.urr:i. H. i descendants now foct up lour children, eleven grandchildren (the eldest being fiity three years of age), forty great grandchililrtn and forty grist great grandchildren making a total of ninety five.

The oldest great grt at grandchild is twelve years of age. For one so hi advanced in the journey of life, "Auntie" Coller is still remarkably well preserved, or was until about thiee months ago, when she was taken with a violent cough, which her physicians say must terminate in death. Seven years sgo she gave up housekeeping, and was received into the Baptiet llome.Stv enteenth and Norrie streets, where she his remained since that time. NEAT, TIDY, AND FULL OF FUN. Until attacked with her fatal congh, she insisted on taking care of her own room, making her own bed, sweeping the floor and duBt ing the furniture, and for neatness and tidy appearance her cheerful room always present ed an example worthy tco imitation ol lar more youthful hnusewives.

She has Rlwnys been blest with a disposition to look on the bright side of life, making the most of blessings and forgetting her troubles as soon as possible, and her friends say that it is lo this fact she is largely indebted for the long life she has enjoyed. As a proof of her cheer ful disposition, tbecircuinsiaoca is related of her having dressed heree'fin are pe'lioa! and plaid shawl, and, with a basket cn her arm.Eone to the rooms of the different inmat of the Home and solicited alms. Tbe ucsus pectine occur.anls of the rooms, not dreaming or ii 'i yc hful pranks on the part of any of 'heir cumber, thinking that some female rarap bad stolen into tne institution, gave the alarm, and then old "Auntie" Coller en joytd a hearty tough in making herself known to ber frightened companions. NOMINATES HAYES FOR PB WIDEN T. On Ono day "Auntie" visited the Centm mil fcxtiihilioo, where ahe was introduced to President Hnyes, then Governor of Ohio, Wheihir her prophetic soul had been in formed of ruing even's or not it is hard to nj; but on being introduced to the Chief Magistrate of Ohio she remarked, "if you ev get to be resident 1 hope you will do right, This might be termed an informal nomina.

tlon. ''They wanted me to see the kind cf dishes General Washington used," remarked "Auntie," "but I told them I bad seen tbem kind of dishes and General Washington, too, before they were born. I didn't want to goto the Centennial to see tbem things," added the old lady, laughing so heartily that she brought on a violent altack of coughing. Hut tbe feet which have tripped so lightly over the rough, long road of life, and the hands which have worked fo Industriously, and the heart which has beat so joyously will soon be ttill, and "Auntie" Coller will enter upon tbat life which is unending." Schools, Director. Teaehere.

INTERNAL DISSENSIONS IN BIVCBAL COCK TIES TEACHEEg WANTED. The general public would hardly believe that the public schools in several counties of this State are the source of local dissensions and bickerings that materially interfere with the harmonious progress of the educational work. The national hdueator referring to this matter says: "There is more trouble among the public schools this State this) ear than ever before. Readier has a quarrel between the Control lers and Superintendent. In Allegheny city ths colored citizens will sue the board be cause their children are kept from the white schools, in rranklin township, Washington county, the ciliiens are holding indignation meetings against the board and tbe schools are demoralized.

In larpoit. McKean county, the school board and their principal are at law over tbe text book question. SCHOOLS UNSCPPLIED WITH TEACHERS, "Notwithstanding the fact that there ia ap' patently a superabundance of teachers, a num ber of schools are yet unsupplied. This may be owing to the low salaries, arbitrariness of directois, who require re examinatioci of teachers, who held permanent certificates, diplomas, etc, and various other causes, In a year or two if directors persist in reducing salaries, and busintss revives, halftheschoolswillgo begging for teachers, and natrons will be obliged to raise extra sal aries, as they are now doing in some districts We cave requests to furnm teacheis on band now. and if there are any teachers without situations Ihey can learn by addressing us, when there are teachers wanted at salarifs rargirtg from $25 to $30 per month." l.oenl Indnelrinl Note.
