Farewell to garden "sass" this morning,
unless it keeps cloudy.
Mr. George Welch, Architect, has had a
beautiful design for the proposed Centennial
monument on exhibition at our editorial
room for the past few days.
We had intended to notice and compli
ment the Cadets of the Carolina Military In
stitute and the Mecklenburg " Zouaves " for
their invaluable services during the late fire,
but the space at our command this morning
forbids it.
Well we're in for it we write Cen
tennial, we sneak Centennial, and
when we send a dispatch off about
anything, as in the case of the recent
fire, and sign it plain J-o-n-e-s, the ed
itors in Wilmington sign it c-e-n-t-e-n-
nirl, without remorse of conscience.
We are requested by the Mecklenburg
Zouaves to tender their thanks through our
local columns to the Cadet company of our
.Military Institute for their kindness in re
lieving them of guard duty during the fire
on Friday night, in order that they might
haye a short time for refreshments.
Postponement.
Owing to the excitement caused by the
fire on Friday, the lecture of Rev. Dr. Hard
ing, which was to have taken place on Fri
day night, at the Female Institute, was
postponed until Friday night, the 20th inst.
Postponed.
The Court House being cleaned up for ser
vices by the Second Presbyterians of this
city, to-day, the lecture that was advertised
for Saturday night, by Dr. W. H. Barker,
has been postponed till Monday night, 19th
inst.
The Fire.
We omitted, in our account of the
fire last night to mention the loss of
Messrs G V Chalk & Co., and several
others. The Messrs Chalk & Co. lost
about $1,100 worth of corn, flour, &c,
mostly covered by insurance.
Mr R M Crawford had $400 worth of
marble burned up, and there may be
yet others whose names we have not
obtained.
Six Hundred.
The Sheriff of Cleaveland county passed
through our city the other day with seven
prisoners for the State penitentiary, con
victed in that county. On his return to-day,
he informs us that those he carried down,
swelled the number of convicts in the peni
tentiary at this time, to six hundred even.1.

Iran Hoops for Cotton Bales.
We have an indistinct recollection of the
ohi rope cotton tie, and we further remem
ber to have seen a hundred or so bales of
cotton, tied up with these ropes aforesaid,
burned on the levee at New Orleans in 1858.
We have a still further recollection of the
vivid manner in which an "iron-tie" agent
endeavored to impress upon u? the fact that
if the cotton then burnt had been baled up
with the iron tie, the whole wonld have
been probably saved. We thought the theo
ry was a beautiful one, and wondered why
everybody didn't go to making iron ties.
Well, nearly everybody did go at it, at last,
and everybody else commenced using the
iron tie. The theory that the iron tie would
hold the mas3 of cotton in a single bale so
closely compressed as to prevent it from
burning, in case of fire, was a beautiful onei
and. we should probably have gone down to
the graye fully impressed with that view Of
the case, bad it not been for the destruction
of three thousand bales in Charlotte, so
compressed, on last Friday. Our beautiful
theory . is exploded, aad our impression is
that iron hoops are not worth much as a
protection against fire.'
Personal.
.Mr. J. Wallace Ainger, of Charleston,
South Carolina, the General Southern .Agent
of the Eclectic Magazine, of New York, is at
the Central Hotel, and will, during the ensu
ing week, give our citizens the opportunity
of subscribing to his work.
The Eclectic was a great favorite in the
South before the war, and the publishers are
now making special efforts to regain their
old circulation herej which they will no
doubt succeed in doing, for the work has
improved with age, (it is now in its thirty,
first year), and fully meets the intellectual
v. ants of the times.
It selects from all the English magazines,
and its aim is to be instructive without Deing
dull, and entertaining without being trivial.
Nothing is admitted to its pages which is
not of permanent value, as well as current
in interest. It is multum in parvo, containing
the very ornM de la ereme of literature and
science.
Aside from its literary excellence, its fine
steel engravings, appearing in every issue,
render it a most desirable work to posses
We commend Mr. Ainger and the Eclectic to
all of our readers.
A Probable Result.
It is said to be an ill wind that blows no-'
body good, and a fire, such as we had Fri
day, is a terrible ordeal. We hope to see it
have one good result, and that is the build
ing of a common passenger and freight de
pot, owned and operated by all the railroad
companies which do business in Charlotte,
Now that new depots be built, there is
no good reason why the land on which the
C. C. & A. depot formerly ,stoodj the depot
which is owned conjointly by the C. C. fe A,
and the N. C. Railroads, and the land now
owned by the Carolina Central Railway.
should not be used for the construction of a
mammoth depot, suitable for the accommo
dation of all the railroads and their busi
ness. ThVCarolina Central Railroad has a
depot in one portion: of the city. The
Richmond Air-Line , has one in another,
while the bulk of the business has been, and
must continue to be, done in a different lo
cality. Now that the fire has made the
building of depots a necessity, let us have
them all at one place.
Water Works. v :
For several days we have had on the brain
what we think is a yery important article on
the subject of water works, and now that we
haye . had a tremendous fire, we think our
theme is particularly appropriate. When
our readers recollect that our loss on' Friday
cannot fall short of three hundred thousand
dollars and when we tell them that for
eighty thousand dollars water' works can be
so arranged as to make such a disaster as
Friday's fire almost an impossibility and
when we tell them farther, that by reason
of having said water works the cost of uv
surance would be so lessened during five
years as to save the1 original cost,' they will
at once see tilings through the same kind of
spectades'that we do. ' " ! ' ' ' "'; ' ' ' ,
v In other words, for eighty , thousand dol
lars a reservoir and a complete ' system of
pipes, with ( a' least eight ; cocks to each
'square, can be constructed. Notwithstand
ing the stiff wind 'which ' was blowing last
Friday, when the fire at the depot first start
ed, we hazard nothing in saying that with a
good Supply -iof water, the . conflagration
might have been stopped there. '; iWe admit
there is a difference between reasoning about
a thing that is past and doing the same thing
at a time when everything is confusion, and
when eterybody fs excited : but we assert
most positively that it is our opinion that if
there had been a good supply of water at the
time of the arrival of the two steam fire en
gines, the fire could haye been controlled be
fore it had spread to the wooden buildings
on Mrs. Brown's lot.
The question of a proper water eupply,
then, is no longer one of expediency, but is
clearly one of necessity, and above all, is a
matter of economy.' This city cannot af
ford to be deprived of the benefits of a prop
er supply of water a moment longer than is
necessary to complete and carry out the
most feasible plan which can be adopted.
We shall have more to say on this subjec
hereafter. Match Game Base Ball.

Charlotte Business.
There is still a good deal of complaint
among the retail dealers of this city of. the
slackness of trade; but, on the other hand,
the wholesale firms are beginning to experi
ence a lively demand for goods from country
merchants, and are in a much more cheerful
frame of mind than they were a short time
ago. The amount of business done since the
opening of the spring trade is estimated to
be much larger already than that of last
year for the whole of the season. The con
stant appeals of the press to their people to
buy their supplies in Charlotte instead of
going farther north, seem to have had con-
sideiable effect, in conjunction with the as
surances of our leading houses that they can
duplicate any order, at the same rates, that
may be filled by any Northern establish
ment. We have observed a considerable
number of buyers from Western North Car
olina among those who haye bought their
supplies in this city this year, but who have
never done so before. Altogether, ttie con
dition or commercial affairs in Charlotte is
quite satisfactory.
Onr observation of the course of business
throughout the country leads us to believe
that a general revival of trade has set in,
and this in turn must give an impulse to
manufacturing pursuits and create a demand
for labor. In the agricultural districts there
are indications of a resolute pnrpose to make
the nicst of the coming season. All of these
developments should inspirea more hopeful
and buoyant feeling everywhere. Besides,
the anticipation of a heavy trade, caused
paTtly by preparations for the Centennial
Celebration, is already having its effect in
the increase of trade among the retail deal
ers and the grocery men.

The Great Character Actors,
Baker and Farron, who haye for the past
three years been playing to crowded, and
elite audiences in the principle cities of
An: erica and Europe, are now oh a tour of
the Southern States, and will appear at
Charlotte Tuesday, Jpril 20th, under the
management of D. Bidwell, manager of
Academy of Music, New Orleans. Mr. Bid
well will support Messrs. Baker and Farron
with his entire company and orchestra from ;
the Academy, New Orleans, which is said to
be the best dramatic company in the South.
They are now on their way from New. Or-
leans to New York, and their engagement is
limited to one night only. They will come
from Columbiahere on especial train. Baker
and Farron are said to be commedians of ;
high standing, and draw the elite and fash
ion wherever they appear.
The New Orleans press speak of them as
follows:
Acadimy of Mrs:c. Another large audi-!
ence witnessed the second night of Baker
and Farron at this ever, popular place of
amusement, and the tumultuous applause
with which each act was greeted was proof
positive of the popularity of these eccentric
comedians.
To those who have not witnessed Messrs.
Baker and Farron's character drama, "Chris
and Lena," and who are under the impres
sion that the business of these artists is
simply that of the Variety Hall, we will say
that the play is not so deficient in literary
merit, and far superior in dramatic construc
tion, to many of the so-called sensation suc
cesses of the day.
It is true that it is constructed with a view of
Siring Baker nd Farron a chance . of intro
ucing their specialty business; yet the au
thor did not lose sight of the fact that these
gentlemen, however good, would not consti
tute a "show" of themselves ; consequently
the text for other, distinct characterizations
is furnished, and we may say that the excel
lent company, hVnot; found wanting. New

authorities a public investigation as to . the
causes of the conflagration and who are to
blame therefor,. If there was criminal ne

be fixed where it rightly belongs. It will
serve a good purpose in the way of prevent

city authorities refuse to take immediate
