the ladies of the city will be called upon

one of great festivity.

A Barometer. '
One who has tried it says that a cap of
coffee is a sure barometer if you allow the
sugar to drop to the bottom of the cup, and
watch the bubbles arfce-frithoufc disturbing
the coffee. If the Vdfol&F collect Irinhe
middle, the weather -KWRe fine ; if they
adhere to the cup, forming a ring, it will be
rainy ; and if the bubbles separate without
any fixed position, changeable weather may
be expected. ' Try (tf and if none -of these
effects are produced, add more ugar, and
drink it. A good cup of coffee Is alwavs
"salubrious" in any weather. -

The Court was held yesterday in the law
office of Messrs. Jones & Johnston. ; Only
one case Was' heard, and - the- argument in
that was only fairly begun' when the time
arrived for thelWjoarnineht of Court. This
case is one very well known on the Meck
lenburg docket that of Parks vs. Alexan

bond, and yesterday J H. Wilson, Esq., ar
gued one of the exceptions to the report of
the clerk, on behalf of the defendant. This
was the only argument made. The counsel
in the case are : for the plaintiff, Cen. jRufus

visit the works for the improvement of the

visit is to be of an official nature. Wilming
ton Journal, 10th. ....
: In regaid to the JournaTs notice, we will
state that Senator Waring did -Contemplate
making a private visit to TFilmington, but
was prevented from doing so by unexpected
engagements. Jfr. Yate$, pf the Democrat,
contemplated a visit to his mother, and
thought of accompanying Mr. "Waring ; to
Wilmington an his way to Fayetfeville ;
but he. also, was detained here by private
business, and prevented from being in Wil
mington at the time designated. Nothing
like an "official visit" was contemplated by
either gentleman.
A Big Pox Chase. '
Esquire Wash Mills, of Providence Town
ship, was in the city yesterday, and told us
of a fox chase which took place just over the
line a few days ago. a Messrs Lee Manson
and Robt Cunningham were the gentlemen
who were conducting the" hunt, and they
started a red fox in the upper edge of Lan
caster county, S. C, in rear of the place- of
Maj. A. B. Springs, ran him to between Fort
Mill and Philadelphia Church, until they
came to the river, into which fox and dogs
plunged. The river is 250 yards wi de at this
point. The hunters were a considerable dis
tance behind and did not know what had
become of the dogs and fox until lour or five
hours afterwards, when the former appeared
to their yiew on the other side of the river,
worn almost completely out, and after hav
ing been, outwitted by Reynard. The chase
continued about eight hours. ,
We believe that we never before beard of
a fox swimming a stream . of this width.
They frequently 'take water" and swim
some distance down a stream, and again
take the land ,to foot jthe dogs, but swim

The Lincoln Depot Hill
The hill oa Tryon street, just this
Bide the Lincoln Depot, is the bane of
every driver's life in the city. In good
weather, it is bad, and in bad weather,
its condition can only be expressed, by
the popular term , "fearful." Yester

4. And the Unconditioned differen

and their combinations begat rock, air,

6. And cell by nutrition evolved

and eozoon begat monad, and monad
begat animalbuie.
7 And animalcule begat ephemera;
then began creeping things to multiply
on tne lace ot tne earth.
8. And earthy atom in vegetable
protoplasm begat the molecule, and
thence came all grass and every herb
in the earth.
9. And animalculde in the water
evolved fins, tails, claws and scales ;
and in the air wings and beaks ; and
on the lane they sprouted such organs
as were necessary as played upon by
tne environment.
10. And by accretion and absorption
came the radiata and mollusca. and
mollusca begat articulata, and articu
lata begat vertebrata. -
11. 'Now these are the higher verte
brata, in the cosmic period that the
Unknowable evoluted the bipedal
mammalia.
12. And every man of the earth.
while he wis yet a monkey, and the
horse while he was a hipparion, and
the hipparion before he was an oredon.
13. Out of the ascidian came the
amphibian and begat the pentadactyle;
and the petadactyle by inheritance and
selection produced the hylobate, from
which are the simiadae in all their
tribes.
14. And out of the simiadae thelemur
prevailed above his fellows and pro
duced the platyrhine monkey.
15. And the platyrhine begat the
catarrhine, and the catarrhine
monkey begat the anthropoid
ape, and the ape begat the longamin
ous orang, and the orang begat the
chimpanzee, and the chimpanzee evo
luted the what-is-it.
16. And the what-is-it went into the
land of Nod and took him a wife of
the longiraahous gibbons.
17. And in' process of the cosmic
period were born unto them and their
children the anthropomorphic pri
mordial types.
18. The homunculns, the prognathus
the troglodyte, the antcchthon, the
terragen these are the generations ot
primeval man.
19. And primeval man was naked
and not ashamed, but lived in quad
rumanous innocence, and mightily to
harmonize with the environment.
20. And by inheritance and natural
selection did he progress from the
stable and homogeneous iO the com
plex and heterogeneous for the weak
est died and the strongest grew and
multiplied.
21. And man grew a thumb for that
he had need of it, and developed ca
pacities for prey.
22, For, behold, the swiftest men
caught the most, animals, and, the
swiftest animals got away from the
most men; wherefore the slow animals
were eaten and the slow men staryed
to death. "'
23. And as types were differentiated
the weaker types 'continually disap
peared 24 And the earth was hlled with
violence; for mari strove with man,
and tribe with tribe, whereby they kil
led off the weak and foolish and secur
ed the survival of the fittest.
Disappearance of Old Maids.
There is growing up in England a
large class of women, says the Wo
men's 'Journal, who do not marry, who
do hot wish to marry, and who appar
ently wish not to niarry. They devote
themselves to literature, to teaching,
to some trade, generally at capital
one, at any rate to some occupation
that gives a livelihood and tends to
culture, and this they choose for life.
The marrying instinct seems dead,
or rather never to have been born in
them. I have known at least one
such person in this country. They do
not seem to be ' thought 1 of as out of
place, but, on the contrary, they move
into fit places in the great social or
ganism, easily and naturally, and are
accepted without remark. A late ar
ticle in one of the leading papers of
our country remarked that almost an
entire change had taken place in this
country in current speech concerning
unmarried women, who are past thirty;
that whereas twenty years ago, and
always before, they were called "old
maids," and the phrase was a term of
reproach, now it is rarely if ever used,
and the reproach which used to be
cast upon such persons, has almost
entirely passed away.. ' t

We take pleasure in informing you tbat,
encouraged by the favor with which our
Machinery has been received thronghout the
South the past year, and in order to facilitate
trade and meet the often expressed wishes oi
our friends and patrons, we have determined
to open an office and warehouse for the sale
of our manufactures in Charlotte, N. C.
which will be known as the. Charlotte Branch
of the Erie City Iron Works.
Mr. W. C. Morgan, who is so widely and
favorably known thoughout the South, will
be in charge of the Charlotte Branch, and
we propose to keep on band these Portable
and Stationary Engines, Bailers and Circa
cnlar Saw Mills of our own manufacture,
also the best , make of Corn Mills, Gins,
Presses, Shingle Mills and such other
Machinery as the wants of the trade require.
The Charlotte House is not an agency but
branch of our works, owned and controlled
by os, and any business done with us there
is done with tlu manufacturers direct.
We hope the establishment of this branch
house will serve to bring os nearer together
and avoid tbe vexatious delays that so often
occur in business at so great a distance as
we are from yon.
For circulars, price lists and any informa
tion wanted in our line, address Erie City
Iron Works, Charlotte, N. C. Trustiog
that oar undertaking will meet with your
approval and support, we remain,
Very respectfully yours,
ERIE CITY IRON WORKS.
