THAT INVITATION.
Wo are in recipt, through tin
columns of the Aaheville Citizen, of an
invitation to go up in that part of the
world. The innocent young mau,
Mr. Robert Furman, who extends the
pressing request for our presence, ant
who urges us to "Hury up here
quick," does so, not on account of auy
attraction which his rocky old country
itself presents, but for some other
hidden and delicate reason. We un
derstand, Robert, and shall not pleat
ignorance. We understand your posi
tion too, Brother. Like tho fabled
Fox of iEesop, having ben deprived
; of a handsome member by a stee
trap, i. e., matrimony, you would
utUei'A that the- change
was becoming- and advise thgp to
odupt it. ito rememfe® thf
sRSrt period since, whon you were the
gayest of gfty Hrrfo, - "tuid Were wont
to fly all the way down to that
beautiful town upon the Car, to attend
to your relations, almost every week,
not withstanding the fearful trip from
Asheville to Old Fort. Theso were
your halycon days, Robert; the ladies
all called you "the handsome man" in
those days.—But listening to the
seducing allurements of hot coffee and
nniftuis, warm slippers, and buttons
kept sowed on, you sacrificed yourself.
Tho curtain lectures, millinery, and
&c., you agreed to suffer as the con
sideration for the sowed buttons, were
then only in the future ; now you
have them with you always. The
unmarried ladies no longer think you
handsome. Your pretty feathers are
moulting and the rest are awaiting
the pecks of the amiable hen.
Not that we would glory in your
humiliation, Robert; we rather sym
pathize with you. Yoti havo done
your duty, acted nobly, taken upon
yourself the burden and care of a
wife, accepted suffering in this world
that you might havo less of it in tho
Howjiiyd you deserve praise of me*.
Xpu Aserve to go up head on t!(o
word duty. But don't try to invigle
us into the same unhappy condition;
wo have never dono you any'harm.
Our neighbor of the Rews also
advises us to go up (there's a deal of
meaning in that expression "go up")
to Asheville. This friend is in the
same fix as the other one, and is
doubtless just seeing, for the first time,
the many sells in the overrated honey
moon. Misery loves company and he
thinks it would do us good to visit
Asheville.
Now, we love the ladies ; God bless
them! so long as other people have
charge of their baggage. With their
flounced d»esses, their stately, grass
hoppor bends,, high ruffles, ■ towering 1
combs, and forty iuoh fans, they are
"just too sweet for anything." But
this particular sweetness partakes of
the nature of that peculiar kind which
characterizes the perishing for 6hfe's

, The Charlotte I)emo6at says :
F We have been looking qer some
1 political statistics, and lathered
( the following informati 1 in re
gard to North Carolina
From 1789 (the year he Na- :
tional Constitution first- 0111 in- '
to effect) to 1873, Nort vCaro
-1 lina has never had a Pestilent
l or Vio.e-President of th Uiiited (
States elected from hor Cf jers, j
nor a head of any
' ments appointed, excetijin the
• Navy Department. |a 1 1829 ,
|Jc hn Branch was Sec/bpy of 1
' the Navy, in E. i
Badger, in 1860 William A.
(Trailam, and in 1553 James C.
! Dobbin.
Three of the Presidents were
natives of North Carolina, but
wore elected while citizens of
Tennes. ee —Jackson, Polk and
Johnson.
Two of the Vice-Presidents
were natives of North Carolina
but were elected, o.ie froiii Ala
bama, Whi. iv. an 4 one
from Tennessee, Andrew John
son.
During the same period (81
years,) North Carolina had two
Associate Justices on the U. S.
Supreme Court Bench —James
Iredell in 1790 and Alfred
Moore in 1799.
She never had but one Speak
er of the House of Representa
tives —Nathaniel Macon in
1801-7.
While North Carolinians have
been the equals of the citizens
of any other S-tate, they have
never been great office-seekers
or disposed to push themselves
forward into high places—at
least that was their character
previous to 18(55, the close of
the late war.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES IN
THE IIOLY LAND.
Mr. C. W. Wilson, It. E., writing
from the Holy Land, a short time
since, iMMAfII mt wlttft
WKwWBFt msn in Rue Iv |Jj •erusaTFßt
by Mr. 0. Schicki, Captain Warren,
» E., white conducting the excava
tions made at Jorusalom by the officers
of tho Palestine Exploration Fund
Committee of London, explored a re
markable rock-hewn passage leading
southwards towards tho Templo area
from the subway of the Convent of the
Sisters of Zion. -Mr. Schicki, found a
continuation of this passage, or rather,
acqueduct as it proved to be, towards
■ the north, and traced it from tho con
vent to the north Avail of tho city, a
little east of tho Damascus gate. At
this point tho acqueduct has been des
troyed by tho formation of tho ditch,
cut in solid rock, which lios in front of
aud communicatos with the well known
caverns; it is, therefore, older than
these, and can hardly bo assigned a
later date than that of the Kings of
Judath. Mr. Schicki was unable at
the time to follow up his discovery, but
tho Palestine Exploration Fund have
taken the matter in hand, and hope to
find the source from which tho water
was driven. In Mr. Wilson's notes to
tho Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem
(published 1800,) he pointed out tho
possible existence of an acqueduct in
this position connecting the large pool
north of the "Tombs of the Kings"
with tho subway at the convent, and
should further researches prove this
view to be correct we may possibly
identify the acqujrtluct with that made
by Hezekiah when """he stopped tho
upper watercourse (accurately, source
of tho waters) of Gilhon, and brought
it straight down to the west side of tho
city of David" (2 Chron. xxxir, 30.) —
It may be the "conduit of the Upper
Pool," mentioned in Isaiah and the
second Book of Kings. The existence
of the acqueduct lately discovered is a
strong argument in favor of tho belief
.that the City of David occupied a por
tion of Mount Moriah, and it may pos
sibly enable tho Christian world to
identify the Pool, or some source near
it, as tho Upper Gihon, aud biivaur as
Gihon in tho valley.
The Journal of the Farm, Philadel
phia, says: The farmers of North
Carolina deserve much credit for the
rapid stridos they are making 1 towards
excellence in the quality of thier dried
fruit. They are now sending diied
apples to our market that far surpasses
anything we ever saw from any other
Stato, leaviug the celebrated apples
from New York State entirely in tho
shade.

OA IJ3 ESS OF DEW.
If dew fall, it would fall for tho
.same'reason that rain full; but (low
dose not fall—it is simply a deposit, of
moisture, always contained in the air
to a greater or lessor degree, and
. which when thero is enough »f it will
always form on any cold body exposed
to tho moist air, in precisely tho same
way that a oold bottle or stone, taken
from a oold cellar and suddenly expos
ed, in H*o shade, to the moist, warm
summer air, will become wet; this is

many years a vexed problem* till
1 Wells first Mggested the radiation of
obscure heat] whieh takes place from
the susface of tho earth through tho
clear atmosplore in the space above,
and so causes the surface to become
f much cooler than the air itself. "- 0 '
demonstrated this by means of ther
mometers- placed at different heights,
and also by the fact that dew is

- * DOG.
[New Orleans Picayune.]
1 In tho private album of tho chief of
police, where all the celebrated wo
' men's pictures, or "mugs of the Molls,"
1 attached to the rogue's gallery are
! kept, are many striking faces ; some
' fair, beautiful and proud, others soft
' and delicate, others pinched and
* sharp, while again aro those intellectu
al and with the stamp of refinement
aud wealth. Mollie Waterman's pic
" tuor is nono of these. It is that of a
plain, cold woman, just like that of a
' statue would be, with her black hair
folded back and bound around her
1 head, while her dross of rich black is
1 caught by tho throat with a heavy
; clasp.
I3y her side, with its head in her
' lap and its intelligent oyes lookiug
eagerly into her face, is a black and
tan terrier dog of medium size aud
with a plain collar.
A singular picture to seo in a gal
lery of thieves, yet probably the most
singular pair found in the long linos
of faces.
Mollie Waterman never stole her- •
self. She trained her dog. Going in
to a store she selected various costly
laces, jewelry, etc., and looking at
them placed-them back with a pai'ticu
lar motion of her hand, shortly going
out of th_» a&irp. The dog remained,
and seizing the article wheu the show
man's back was turned, made with it
to her room, whore it was received by
Mollie and tho dog rewarded.
Forjyears she plied this with suc
cess, until one day the dog was caught
there.. Uuheeding of herself, she
i surrendered, imploring for the life of
! her favorite.
Tho pictures of two were, however,
taken together, and then the dog was
killed, the body being inhumanly
thrown into the cell where the woman
lay.
So tho police left them ; but, when
they returned with the morning, she
was found dead, poisoned by her own
hand, lying with her steadfast friend.
There was a rude inquest, of course
—a coroner and a jokiag crowd—but
when the two were tumbled into their
old box, out into the letters' Field,
I there were closed out forever two who
might be an example to many loving
friends.
The fence law was rejected in every
, county where voted upon.— fTestern.
