I am merely tlia agent through whom the Richmond ic Danville RailroadXompajiy has aocomplislied - th results which you bava aeen and com mented npou the agent of a system of railroads which haa linked its destiny and fate, in large caeasure. with hands of steel with the weal or woe of North Caro lina. J observe yen say "every North Carolinian who visits the Exposition shauld take off hia hat in the presence of Capt. McPbail and Prof. Smith, who have the department in charge, for the labor and paias they have taken in getting to gether mud ai ranging articles," &c I have disposed of Capt. McPhail's claim for recognition and placed the credit tor the exhibit, in whieb North Caroliua is so conspicicuous, where it properly belongs. Iu collecting and arranging the exhibit oLtbe Uichuiond & Danville, company I have been its sole agent, alone responsi ble to its -management for whatever of success or failure which may have attend ed it. Prof. Smith, to whom you make reference is only one of my paid employes and 'has the department of the Richmond, &l Danville Railroad at the Atlanta Ex position, or any part of it, as much under his charge as one of your type-setters has the Charlotte Observer under bis charge. I doubt whether any one of theRichmeud & Dauville Railroad Company is aware of the existence of Mr. Smith, except iu so fur as his name appears on my pay roll. He was employed and paid by me to collect material for the Richmond & Danville Railroad exhibit, in a few wes tern counties, and is also one of my sev eral paid employes for taking care of the exhibt, attending to visitors, ice. I mere ly call attention to your article because 1t maj- serve to do injustice to other worthy and public spirited North Caro linians who have voluntarily and with out remuneration rendered me, as ngeut of the Richmond & Dauville j Railroad Company, valuable assistance, and have, as I know, no personal iutercst in the material they have contributed. You give large credit to one of iny employes whose services are fully paid for in mon ey, and yon make no tneutiou of men like Prof. Hanna, of your own towu, who con tributed a large line of mineral specimens with valuable analysis attached j J. A. D. Stephenson, of Statekville, who contribu ted a large ease ef rare and exquisitely beautiful crystaline forms, gems, &c.,onc of the ornaments of the exhibit; T. K. Brnner, of Salisbury, who bronght a large assortment of representative gold ores, 4tc, and arranged them ; Prof. William Beat, of Murphy, Cherokee county, who made splendid contributions ot minerals and woods, his object beingto bring be fore tho . world the grand material re sources of his section, and who would receive no compensation for his valuable services or for the time spent in this work. I make no meutiou of others who have made-valuable contributions because it may be said they will derive their meas ure ef. benefit froui the opportunity thus afforded for tha advertisement of their materials. At tha same time I feel under none the less obligations for the aid which tbej so kindly rendered me. I also feel it is due to my self to correct impression that Prof. Smith has any connection whatever with the exhibit of tho Rich mond & Danville Railroad and its system of roadfc beyond that of my paid employes. Very truly yours, C. C. McPhail, Agent R. & D.R.R. Company, in charge Exhibit. Marriage Bells. The roomy "and tle-gant mansion of Mr. W. Jf ateV was crowded last night with a brilliant company assembled to witness the marriage of Dr. L Wellington Faison of Duplin county, to Miss Sal lie S.Yates, daughter of " the geoiel.host. Though large, the company was mainly composed of the relations of the families of the bride and groom, with a few.frieuds. The mar riage ceremony was rondered mere deli cately interesting" from the fact that the lovely and accomplished bride is just convalescing from quite a serious illness the marriage having heretofore been post poned on that account Dr. Faison is an accomplished and handsome young phy sician with a largo practice in Davie couuty. He has a wide-circle of warm friends in Cnarlotte who witnessed his marrfago with great pleasure. . The cere- nrtWF.dmtnu Stieet Methodist church! of Rahsigh, assisted by . Rev. J. T.

' " The bridaf nartv will remaiu in the city lor tne present, AGaaVeU. i While iftome drillsrt near Sarala, Ont, ware boring for oil recently, the were astonished to find that a huga volomneef gas was escaping from tha wsj Tho gas was accidentally ignited by the Urch of a man twenty-five feet from the well, ac cording to a local paper, and tha flames which are described as "vivid and ail very," leaped to a lieight of thirty feet. Every fifteen minutes by the wateh" there is a grand eruption of water, which instead of putting out the flames "drives them in sheets above the highest trees, and falls iu showers for a considerable distance around the well." The scene at night. is a brilliant one, and is thus de scribed by the Sarnia Obserwr: "The mixture of the water which, by the, way is said to be strongly impregnated with sulphur with the flames produces effects in color which are dazliug in their bril liancy and.beanty, various shades of yel low and purple predominating. The spectacle especially if witnessed at night is indescribably beautiful, and its effect is heightened by a slight dash of weird ness caused by the unusual color of the flames, and the corresponding reflection which it throws ou the foliage of the sur rounding trees. The birds seem to be paralyzed by the unwonted illumiuation. All night long, so the drillers say, they skim around the flames, ottering shrill cries f alarm, aud become either so frightened or so bold that they alight alongside the men, by whom they are frequently caught." The "Revised" and the Kditor. "Can you tell me, sir, what effect the revised Bible is going to have on the community T" "A salutary effect, I hope," replied the managing editor. "But has it been received and adopted yetr ;' ; "Yes, I rekoa so. The people will take it as a substitute for the King James' edi tion, aud it will soon become popular." "Now, suppose there was a lawsuit in which some of the witnesses had beeu sworn on the old Bible, would an oath on the new Bible be biudingoh the witnesses yet to be examined T" "1 don't see why not," responded the editor. "Just so. But take the case of a man who committed a murder the day before the new Bible came out, while old Bible was in operation ; could he repent under the new Bible', or mnst he be hung under the old edition f Iu otlier words, can a Bible opiate ex pott factof" "I should most certainly say yes to all these propositions." "Very well. Now suppose a man re pented a year ago, auder the old Bible ; has he got to repent again under the new or does the repeutance merge t Are a mau's rights under the recent edition f" "I guess it dees," says the editor, lay ing down his pen. "In other words, you esteem tho new as a legal substitute for- the old, and would aa soon have it ; do , I understand you so t" "That's about tho size of it." "Then let me selt you a copy boa ad in Russia leather, gilt edges, sides and hacks, only $2.75 net, or " But he fared forth sadly and suddenly, aud the exterior atmosphere absorbed him. Side Shows. There are several "side shows" on the Atlanta Exposi tion grouuds which may well be styl ed "much in a little." :Among these is "Spang's Natural History Rooms of Florida," comprising a long list of "Monsters of the Deep." The great Manitee or Sea Caw, Weighing over 2,000 lbs. ; the mammoth hammer headed shark, measuring 3 feet from eye to eye and 16 feet in length ; the man-eater shark ; turtles weighing from 500 to 1,000 lbs. ; the largest porpoise ever seen ; a saw fish 18 feet long; the mammoth oyster shell weighing about 250 lbs, and 500 ali gators from 6 inches to 16 feet in length ; besides stingarees, clam crack ers, skates, devil fish, star fish, and reptiles without number, all for 10 cents. . ' In another ten-cents show are sev- i en sisters from the Stats of New York, chiefly remarkable for their long jet black hair, which ranges from 4 to"7 feet in length. It is indeed a strange picture o see these girls in a fow ou the stage witfi their backs to yoa---covered, as it were,- with heavy black veils trailing on the floor. The hair of each is exceedingly abundant, but there is one whose wisp measures four inches in diameter. In the same is a hardsome 1 and sparkling lad of 18 years and 400 lbs. weight, besides some monkeys and less important things. The glass hen which laid eggs,' and some o lhers,wt did not see, made up an outsida show which afford both amusement and instruction to thos who desire it. Tho Dylnjg Miner. A TRUE STORY. . ssssmsbi Twenty miles from camp, and night approaching. A ytung home mis sionary, working for his Master in one of the mining communities of Colora do, found himself in this situation one day and was beginning to look about him for a desirable place in which to spend the night, when, a little way ahead, he descried a rude cabin. Approaching nearer, he saw it was one of the poorest of those rough hab itations, and much of the "chinking" between the logs had fallen out, ren dering the place additionally uncom fortable. "Such a place as' that is surely de serted," said the young minister to himself; "and I am inclined to think I would rather sleep aut of doors to night than inside of that shell, even' if it should prove to be inhabited by one who would make me welcome." At that monieut the sound of song floated out through the openings be tween the logs, and our traveler stop ped his horse to listen to the man's weak voice singing that dear old home-song "The Home of the Soul." "Oh, that heme of the soul ! in my vision and dreams Its bright, jasper walls I can see, Till I fancy but dimly the veil intervenes Between that fair city aad me." were the words which reached the ear of the listener outside. "I must see the man who can sing like that in such a place as this," thought the missionary, riding up to the cabin and alighting from his horse. A feeble "Come in 1" came from within, in answer to his knock; and tering, be found himself in the one small room of the cabin, which was almost destitute of furniture. In one corner, a rude bedstead had been constructed of boards and rude pieces of timber, on which seme old baukets were spread ; and on this hard led lay a man, evidently very near to death. "Dying alone, in this situation, twenty miles from the nearest camp, still his look into the beyond seemed so clear, so real, tnat the language of the hymn he feebly sang was indeed the lauguage of the heart," said the missionary, aa he related the incident afterward. "He died that night, and I have never ceased to feel a thrill of thankfulness whenever I think of him, that I was belated that day, aud so enabled to be with that man when the eud came. Surely that which satisfies a man, when dying in the midst of such surroundings, is not a thing to be lightly rejected. "When a young man leaves the home of his boyhood, he cannot afford to leave the religion of Christ, too. Golden Days. The Lirae-Kilu Club. "I would like to spoke a few words to Telescope Perkins, if he am in de hall to-night," said the President as the meeting opened. The brother wiped off his mouth and advanced to the platform, and Brother Gardener continued : "firudder Perkins, I met you at 8 o'clock in de eveoin' on Mecshun night." 4 Yes, sah.' 'You war' what de white folks call slewed 'I're mighty sorry, sah.' 'You were full of glory. You felt dat you had saved the ken try. Your clothes war all mud.

A Desperate Young Italian Murders His Young Wife and Mother-in-Law and Shoots Himself. New York, IX. 9 This morn ing Pasqualc Toencelo, aged 21 year, an Italian living iu tenement house No. 56, Thampsou. street, shot his wife, Catharine, through the head and killed her on the spot. Turning upon his mother-in-law, Maria Val- entu, lie shot her through the head, and next shot himself through the neck. Then, bes nattered with the brains of his two victims and drip pring with blood, he went to Prince street oIice station and gave himself up. The police, procured an ambu lance and sent Maria Valenta, who was still alive $ut with the bullet in her brain, to &t. Vincent's hospital. Her wounds are mortal. The mur derer was taken to the hospital, guar ded by policemen. He has a chance of recovery. His young wife was only 14 years of age, and her mother 32. The greatest excitement exists over the affair in Italian circles. . Disgraceful, If True. From the Chariot Observer. In the Davie Times, of December 1, appears the following : "The distillery and fixtures of Dr. J. M. Howard, of this county, was seized by by Deputy Collectors Cald well and and Stockton on Tuesday ef last week. We learn that the seizure was made because of a set of false keys found en the person of a negro employed about the still. Dr. How ard was at the house when the depu ties took charge, and when he arriv ed at the still they were playing cards with the negro at 25 cents a a game, and under the influence of whiskey." If this be as we hear it, both of these and all other like collectors should be dealt with severely by their superiors. Just such men as - r ' I . . : T r hee . have-caused a great deal of odium to be heaped upon the inter-; nal revenue system and "the better class of men who are employed in its service. x. Carried Lis Case. A lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio, was defending a very handsome vouni? woman accused of .stealing from a large unoccupied dwelling in; the uight ; and thus he spoke in conclu iou: 'Gentlemen of the jury Lhave done. When I gaze with enraptured eye on the matchless beauty of this peerless maiden, on whose resplen dent charms suspicion never dared to breathe when I behold-her radiant in this glorious bloom of luscious loveliness, which angelic sweetness might euvy, but could x not eclipse before which the star on tl brw of the night grew pale, and the dia monds of Brazil are dim, and then reflect upon the utter madness and folly of supposing that so tiiuch, beau ty and gentleness would cxpose itself to the terrors of an empty building, in the cold, damp, and dead of night, when innocence like hers is hiding itself amid the snowy pillowls - gen tlemen j)f the jury, my feelings are too overpowiog for expression) and I throw her into your arms for protec tion againstjhis foul charge, Which the outrageous malice of a disappoin ted scoundrel has invented to blast the fair name of this lovely maiden, whose smile shall be the reward of the verdict which I know youwill givel Gentlemen! you may hang the ocean on a grape-vine te dry; lasso an avalauce ; pin a napkin to the mouth of a volcano ; skim the clouds from the sky with a teaspoon; throw salt on the tail ef our noble Ameri ca n eagle, whoso sleepless eye ever watches over the welfare of the na tion ; paste 'For Rent' upon the moon and stars but never for a single moment delude yourselves with the. idea that this charming girl is guilty of the charges here preferred against her." The jury acquitted her without leaving their Keats. Tramps Caught in a Car. On our way to Atlanta last week we were aroused from a mid-night iTap at Hamlet by quite a commotion iti a box-car that was being switched off from our train at that point to a side track. It seems that four trumps had hid themselves in the car at Portsmouth, which was afterwards locked and sealed for some point South. When the air reached Ham let and was about to be left on a side track, these "gentlemen of the mad" didn't like the appearance of things, and began to cafl most lustily for some one to release them from li e car, but no one had authority (or cared) to do sorand so left them to enjoy their mid-night meditations at their leisure. Chatham Record. Stock the Cards. We would in be understood as dictating to the De mocracy of Nerth Carolina in the least, but would suggest the proprie ty of an early Democratic Stale Con vention next year, and the adoption of a platform that will take the starch out of the Radical party's sails.

A man calling himself Charlie Leslie was arretedr here for burglary, and thinking that he was arnrsfe! on a requ'sili-m for murder, he admitted to the detective that he had committed ene, but discovering his eorror refused to tell where the deed was done.
