Meteoric Display.
A brilliant and remarkable meteor was
seen by. many of our citizens yesterday
evening, about 6:30. It was remarkable for
its unusual size and splendor, and for the
sound that accompanied its explosion: It
shot down the Northwestern sky, becoming
visiDienrstin the region about the North
Star, and vanishing from sight as' it an-
proached the evening star, which, just then,,
was shining gloriously, a little above the
Western horizon. A streak of fire followed
it in its course, Itsbeda brilliant, green-
lsn light over the earthy as it sped on its
way ; and disappeared as suddenlv as it had
appeared. About 2i minutes after its disan-
iWi a ueayj. crau explosion was heard
irom overhead. Aa the sound was 2i min
utes in reachingtbe earth, accordine to the
best estimates we Jean obtain, the explosion
must have taken place' at a distance of not
less than 35 or 38 miles from the surface of
the earth that is, very near the upper lim
its of the earth's atmosphere, which extends
upward 50 miles.
Those who witnessed this celestial runa
way, regard it as one of the most remarkable
and splendid eyer seen in these parts.
Fair Notes.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Burns. ODe of the
men connected with the stables of Mr. L. A
Hitchcock, the celebrated Boston turfman.
arrived in Charlotte, in adyance of seven of
Mr. Hitchcock's racehorses, which were
left at Company Shops, and which will reach
the city this morning on the 6 o'clock train
on the North Carolina Railroad. They have
been regularly entered for the races to take
place at the New Fair of the Carolinas.
Hitchcock's stables are noted all over the
United States, and the presence of these
horses here insures some splendid racing.
A portion of the premiums offered arrived
yesterday, and are on exhibition in the show
windows of Butler's jewelry store. Those
which have arrived comprise $1,500 worth
of silver ware. Some of the articles are very
beautiful. '

COL. Uhas. R. Joker
Editor Observer,
Dear Sir : In your issue of to-dav
you say ine aoiunern Home madver
tentiy lalls into an error in regard to
tne meeting of tne 'Executive Com
mittee of the State Grane-P. at
Danville. By referring to the Jonj
oiwuo iuu mil bkh i. n Mi. iui aunsinn la
made to the Executive Committee of
tne state Grange. It is merely stated
that "a most important meeting is to
be held at Danville on the 4th of

siderable trouble to obtain a full at

company of Gen. Golquitt and Gov.
Vance with him, and the latter will
introduce the N. C. delegation.
The design of the Danville meeting
is to organize a Border Grange Asso
ciation for mutual benefit, and co-operation
in Direct Trade, &c &c.
The correction is not a . matter of
any importance, but as the Observer
may mislead, inadvertently, some of
its readers in regard to the Danville
meeting, I bring the error to your at
tention. And am, ' '
Yours fraternally,

Hints Concerning, Kerosene.
''Scarcely a week passes during the win
ter but we read accounts of frightful acci
dents from kerosene lamps exploding -and
killing, or scarring for life, men, women and
children A simple kridwledge of the in
flammable nature of the fluid would proba
bly put a stop to nearly all the accidents.
As the oil burns down in the lamps a hiehlv
inflammable gas gathers Over its surface, and
as the oil decreases the gas increases. When
the oil is. nearly consumed a light jar will
often inflame the gas, and an explosion is
sare.: to' 'follow, dealing '.death and destruc-
tioQ.'-A bombshell is not more to be dreaded.
Nowjf the lamp is not. allowed to burn

A sereriadine 'party i was .out, the other

their si umbers, one of the musicians- mnm-

acconjmodating enough to wait, and when

Graceful Perfermance.
These draymen must all have an idea of
entering the sawdust arena. It is interest
ing and exciting to see them swoop around
a street corner, with knees half bent and
'arms high up, and get whirled off the dray
as it suddenly darts around the sharp angle
of ..street? Unfortunately they always
light on their feet, and then, with the lines
still in their hands, run alongside the dray
and jump on, just like the men in the circus.
The unfortunate who is : run over at the
corner by horse and dray, is so lost in admi
ration of the skillful feat of the driver, that
he almost forgets his own injuries and pains
in contemplation of it.

Under the management of Col. D. G. Max

ly being put in a proper condition for the

before the Mayor yesterday morning, and
His Honor was compassionate; Mr. Bledsoe
was let off with $3.50.

Poker Poetry.
We do not claim the following as original.
We saw it somewhere sometime ago, and

One by one the pokefjplayers
Stock the cards, andthen go blind."

A Special Train
Compressed Cotton.
The first car load of cotton compressed in
Charlotte, was shipped yesterday via Wil
mington to New York. The car was loaded
with 49 bales, and the compressing was done
by the machinery of Messrs. Sutherlin fe
ratncK. The usual"- car load of cotton is
about 30 bales', as it comes from the screw,
where it is originally pressed, so that the
compressing process makes a difference of 19
Dales in the car load. One of these bales
was weighed after having been pressed, and
was found to have lost only one quarter of a

Our Advertising Patronage.
We take It as a sigti of the prosperity of
Charlotte, and as an evidence of the brisk
tiadeof our business men. that our adver
tising patronage has increased to such an
extent recently. During last week and the
week previous, an ; average of one column
pet day op .flew advertisements aSjseni
into this5 offlcfe, ami nearly all of them,' too,
came from the city.' This, we say, speaks
well fnr the . Knainoao nf ft,. .tftiiF An1 wi
only so, but it speaks well for the 'judgment
and enterprise of our business men.
. The Raleigh &nm estimates that aa much
as $75,000 was spent in- 'that eity by visitors
aurijPjtf&lrn.;wVnt well "for our
people to ponderover this ffcc in view the
Fair to be held in this city, as an mduce
ment for each and every one to do all things
possible to promote the success of our Fair.
