CITY BULLETIN
Old March is on bis last legs. Glad
enough.
The new moon appeared, last evening
lying fiat on her back.
People from the West report the snow still
lying deep on the mountains, and manifest
ing no notion to melt.
The doors of the Market House aie still
elosed, and the crowds of Five Pointers who
formerly loafed around in front of it, have
vauished.
A considerable part of the cotton now ar
riving in this city, is coming over the Air
Line Railroad from Greenville and other
paints.
Before he is six .months older, this.report
er will be as crazy as a March hare. They've
already begun to send hint base ball com
munications.
Tne ninds howled and swept the' streets
last night, with all the fierceness of March
and all the chilliness of January. It was
anything else than pleasant out doors.
Always carry an umbrella with you, this
weather, no matter if you are only going
across the street, and no matter how clear
the sky is.
m -ti ii t
xnere win oe a mesung cms evening o
the congregation of the First Presbyterian
Church, for the election of two elders and
three deacons. The meeting will be at 8
o'clock, at the church.
The gentlemanly young clerk was resting
upon his oars, yesterday, and had time to
gape without fear of baying to shot his
mouth quick to avoid being seen by a cus
tomer. The description which Scott gave of wo
man, was applicable to the weather of yes
terday :
"variable as the shade
By the light, quivering aspen made."
The wind toys friskily with the loose tin
on the Old Mecklenburg Iron Works build
ing, and one day or other will flirt it ofl sud
denly and with a great noise, leaving the
old house looking like a skinned horse.
B F Dixon, Esq., arrived in the city last
evening with a colored prisoner named
Frank Nance, who had been appropriating
sone plow moulds belonging to a couple of
citizens of the Alexandriana neighborhood.
He was jailed,
Mr Cormack, the plasterer, kindly took
care of the poor woman and her five child
ren, spoken of in yesterday's paper, during
Monday and Monday night, and she left,
yesterday morning, on the Richmond &
Danville train, with her family, Mayor
Johnston having secured a pass for her from
Col Talcott.
What Each Wants.
The cry in Charleston is "wate I water I
water !" Exchange.
The great cry in Columbia is "whisky I
whiskey ! whiskey !" Union-He aid.
The cry in Winnsboro is "whiskey and
water I whiskey .and water t whiskey and
water I" Newt.
The great cry in Charlotte is "whiskey
and water and sugar and a spoon."
Weather Brevities.
From a newspaper : When the moon first
appears lying flat on the back, look out for
wet weather before the next new moon.
A warm winter like the one just passed is
sure to be followed by a cool summer.
A killing frost is probable between the 8th
and 16th of April.
The full moon is on the 8th Easter on
the 16th.
The cats are partaking of the demoraliza
tion of the times. The other day an old
Maltese Thomas cat in this city, ate op
two kittens barely leaving eaough of them
to tell of their fate-and killed a third one,
tearing it all to pieces with his teeth.
A male belonging to Mr 8 H Biggers,
strayed or was stolen, on Monday eveniag
last, from the back lot of Mr Jos McLaugh
lin'f store. He advertises it in this morn
ing's aper, 4
Honors to the Orphans.
Yesterday afternoon the two 'orphans ap
peared on the streets, mounted on horse
back, and as they passed in front of the
Court House, the crowd there assembled
united in a handsome and spontaneous de
monstration in their honor. A red flag was
produced, and held up as they passed, until
the little orphan dismounted and stepped
into a bar room to "see a man." At this
Juncture it was lowered to half mast, but
when he re appeared, it was again hoisted,
and while this flag waved, a bell rang, and
the crowd waved their hats and cheered, the
two Orphan rode gleefully down the streets,
and disappeared from view.
An Odd Sign.
A grocery man and fish -monger in this
city, has fallen upon a -carious idea for a
sign. lie desires convey to the puhlio
the idea that he receives fish daily and se
he has on a post, in' front of bis ore, a
weather vane, a fish, such as you see upon
church spires and other public buildings,
except that this is wood, and on this fish
has. painted in big letters : "Fresh Daily."
This fish answers the double purpose of a
sign, and an indicator of the quarter in
which the wind lays.
She Seeks Us With a Rolling Plu.
It is said that a mother-in-law in the city
keeps a little grand-son standing constantly
on the front step?, and whenever, in accord
ance with instructions, he l ashes in ex
claiming, "La, gramma, here come3 aa Ob
server man ! ' the old lady reaches for the
rolling pin andmakes for the front door. The
wary journalist, however, is posted, and like
the Levite of old, "passes by on the other
side."
A Young Lad) 'a Offering,
A kind-hearted young lady friend, has
placed in our hands a sum of money for the
benefit of the poor old man, Granville Cavi-
ness, of whom she has lately seen a good
deal in the papers. This unsolicited offer
ing from this gentle and lovely little lady,
does credit to her tender and sympathising
heart, and like the bread cast upon the wa
ters, is sure to return even if it be after many
days. In behalf of the poor old man we
thank her, and assure her that her contri
bution has been properly applied.
The Courts.
These were a failure again on yesterday.
The Mayor had no cases, and there were no
criminal cases before any of the Magistrates,
neither were there more than a very few ot
any other kind. The community is now
enioving a period of Rood behavior, but
these unnatural calms are always forerun
ners of storms, and those who are interested
to the extent of costs, in the collisions be
tween their fellowmen, may pluck up their
spirits.
Some Saved.
And still, after all of the recent snows
and frcsts. all the peaches are not killed.
Some of them saved theimelves by the ex
ercise of a wise delay in "putting out." All
of those which were out, were nipped and
frozen till they grew black in the face and
were killed, but some were saved by reason
of the fact that they did not with precipitate
haste burst their buds. There was only a
small proportion, however, of the whole
crop, which was not killed, and the peach
crop this year will be very short.
The Death of a Colored Man.
Tom Dean, a colored man who was toler
ably well known in this city, died on yes
terday at Btatesville, and will be brought
down on the train this evening, we under
stand and buried here by the lodge of color
ed Odd Fellows, of which he was a member,
He has been sick for a long while, and was
moved to Statesville a few weeks ago, where
most of his people reside. He was for a long
while a waiter at the Central Hotel, and was
well known to the boarders at that house,
Tom had borne an excellent character, from
his youth up, and had the respect of all the
white people who knew him.
Where la the Fault.
A subscriber in Spartanburg writes us
tnat ne nas not received nis paper for more
than a week and that it often happens that
he finds as high as a half a dozen Observers
in one mail. Two subscribers from David
son College have made similar complaints
We can assure our friends that the failure of
the papers to reach their destination at the
regular time, is owing to no fault of ours.
The address of the subscriber is plainly
printed and the paper put in the mail every
day. We make this announcement in order
to let the reading public draw their own
conclusions as to who is guilty of remiss
nesa and negligence in this matter.
Tne Revival.
The body of Tryon Street M- E. Church,
was filled again, last night, with an atten
tive congregation, to hear the sermon of
Rev W W Duncan. There were five or six
penitents, and the meeting will be contin
ued through the week, with services this
morning and this evening. The pastor an
nounced, last night, in giving this nctice
that there had been about thirty conver
sions so far. The success which has attend
ed this meeting has been remarkable. It is
now in its fourth week, and the congrega
tions are as large as they were during the
first, and there is little if any abatement in
the interest. The spirit has been abundant
ly poured out, and a vast amount of good
has been done.
The Suicide of the Negro, aud Its Prob
able Cause.
we pubiisnea in yesterday s paper, a
lengthy account of the suicide of the negro,
Marion Barnett, on the place of Mr C E
Bell, last week. A good deal of evidence
was taken upon the investigation of the
Coroner's jury, and from some of this.Coro
ner Alexander judges that there kas proba
bly something more strious than the theft
of the potatoes behind the scenes as the
cause of the suicide. It may be remembered
that about a month ago a young white man
named John Cowan, came to his death on
Mr Bell's premises, under circumstances a
little singular, not to say suspicious. He
was found, about breakfast time, lying by
the side of the barn, with a gash in his head
and his skull fractured, but in the absence of
any proof of foal play, it was concluded that
while in the barn loft, he accidentally lost
his footing and fell oat, thas killing him
self. The Coroner's jury found nothing to
warrant any other conclusion, and little was
said about tne matter, although there were
whispering's of suspicion that he had come
to bis end through the agency of some in
dividual. 4
In the examination of witnesses in Bar-
nett's case, one testified that he had been
applied to by the deceased, some time after
the death of Cowan, to move him to South
Carolina, He asked him why he wanted to
go, and he replied that he was in trouble.
Witness asked if it wes on account of the
potatoes, and he Teplied no, that it was
something greater than that. . He said furth
er that he might some lime tell witness why
it was, but not then, ' This conversation
taken in connection with the fact that Bar
nett was for several days, perhaps a week,
after Cowan's death, absent from home, it is
supposed in South Carolina is - well calcu
lated to excite suspicion that he was the
murderer of Cowan, and that the recollec
tion of his foul deed so preyed upon his
mind 'as to render hia life miserable ; and
that he preferred to die rather than
live with such a weight of guilt upon bis
conscience. f When all the facts are taken
together, this conclusion seems almost irre
sistible, -
Abuut Your Pulse. : j
An exchanga says that every person should
know how to ascertain the staie of the puke
in healing then by comparing it with wat
it is when be is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his casa. Parents
should know the health jr pulse of each child,
since now and then a per on is born with a
peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and the very
case in band may be of such peculiarity.
An infant's pulse is 140, a child of 7 about
80, and from 20 to 60 years it is 70 bea's a
minute, declining to 60 at four-score. A
healthful grown person beats 70 times in a
minute, declining to 60 at four-score. At 60
it the pulse always exceeds 70 there is a dis
ease; the machine working itself out; there
is a fever or inflammation some where, and
the body is feeding on itself, as in consump
tion, when the pulse is quick.
A Dangerous Counterfeit.
The telegrams state that the secret service
division of the treasury department is in
formed that a new counterfeit five dollar
note on the Merchants' National Bank of
New Bedford, Mass., made its appearance a
day or two ago in Philadelphia. The note
is as good as, if not better than the celebrat
ed "Trader's" counterfeit of Chicago. A
point which may be of interest to persons
liable to be imposed on, is that all the na
tional bank notes are now printed on fibre
paper, and the use of a pen will demonstrate
whether what looks like fibre is an imita
tion of the genuine. This note is said to be
printed in Texas, and to be the work of the
notorious Pete McCartney, who was last
heard from as a member of one of the gangs
of bolder ruffians who steal stock and run
into Mexico.
The Eclipse as Seen by Our Special
Artist.
We have the distinguished privilege and
the great good fortune, to be able to lay be
fore our numerous gentle and appreciative
readers, this morning, an exact representa
tion ot tne late eci'pse. as secured by our
special artist on the spot. The reader can
get his or her smoked glass ready, while we
explain the disparity in the sizes of the two
representations below. The first is exclusive
ly for the children, who cry every morning
for the OrsEHVEi:, and whom we have sought
to complinnni in this especial manner, by
furnishing them a design at once handsome
and costly, and at the same time within the
capabilities of their necessarily (so far) lim
ited visions. The second is for older per
sons, who will recognize tbe sun as of life
size, acd who will appreciate the nicety of
our artist in the exactness of the sufficiency
(and no mo e) of the amount of the slice
which he has clipped (not intended for a
pun) from the god of day. The delay in the
production of these illustrations, is explain
ed by the large amount of work which it
was necessary to put upon them, and as for
the cost, were we to mention this, it might
perhaps be thought, if not said, that we
lied ; hence, we forbear, and for the further
reason that this is a matter personal to our
selves, and can be of no interest to tbe pub
lie at large. Those ignorant persons who
are skeptical as to the genuineness of these
illustrations, and who desire to ask any
questions about them, will be answered to
their conviction if not their satisfaction, by
the nice young blacksmith whom we have
employed to serve in this capacity. With
these few scattering remarks we submit to a
critical ana aiscnminaung public, our
special artist's representation of
THE
ELLIPSE
A Sad, Sad Case The Depraylty of
Young and Pretty Girl.
In the Observer of the 27th of February,
there appeared a paragraph, copied from the
Asheville Expositor, stating that a week pre
vious to that time a young white girl, the
daughter of a man named Doniphan t
living in Buncombe county, had elop
ed with a negro man named Allison
and there whereabouts were unknown. The
parents of the girl have been writing to
lawyer in this city, concerning her, and
Constables Whitley and King having learn
ed that the parties were living three miles
from here, on the Air-Line Railroad, took
warrants and on yesterday afternoon wen
after them. They found that they lived in
the family of a negro named AndrewTaj
lor. At the time when they arrived, the
man was absent in the' woods, chopping
and awaiting his return, they arrested both
him and the woman, and carried them over
to the residence of Justice H C Severs, where
the case was investigated. The girl gave her
name. as Maggie Doniphan t, alias Smart,
alias Davis, and protested that she was a ne
gress ! The man gave his name as Henry
Allison, aliat Davis, and said that he an
the girl had been regularly married by
Justice of the Peace named Dawson,,
Buncombe county. None of the statements
of the parties would hold water in the eye
of the Justice, and he placed them under
bonds of $500 each, in default of which they
were conyeyed to jail.
On4heir wsy to the city, the girl made a
full confession to Constable Whitley; . She
stated that she was of pure white blood, and
acknowledged that she had never been mar
ried to the negro. She says that she has a
father, mother and brother living in Bun
combe county, but that her family had been
unkind to her ; she became acquainted with
this negro, and he acquired a great influence
over her ; she cannot tell how it was, bat
she was enough infatuated to yield ?te nis
persuasions, and run off with him.-She
gives her age as 19, and states that before
she, met up with this negro, she was a good
and virtuous girl; They have been living
near this city for five weeks, and if this is
the case, must have come' here direct from
her father's house.
The girl is a perfect blonde, and has a
really pretty face ; she is neatly dressed,
and is so modest and quiet that it Can be
said that she is. lady-like in her manner to
this extent at least. Thenegro, on the other
hand, is about 30 years of age. and is black,
dirty and repulsive. He K was formerly a
slave of the late Andrew Allison,- of Iredell
n
county, two miles' from Btatesville. The

'ImL tJLJLiVl&dLUti 'h.&tniA
does not attempt to give an explanation of
her course ; she says that she fell an easy
victim to the allurement of the negro, but
why, she cannot tell. "
The case is as strange as it is sad, and it is
one of the saddest that has ever fallen un
der our observation. Itia; fortunate that
such instances of depravity or infatuation,
as you please, either, or both, are so very
rare. They are too disgusting to contem
plate The Black Hills Gold Craze. Gen
Merritt, of the United States army, in
an interview with a reporter of the
Chicago Times, spoke some plain if not
palatable truths concerning tne xuacK
Hills eold craze. He warns simple
folks who may be tempted painfully
to go thither that the auriferous ca
pacity of that part of the country which
is now accessible, has been over-rated,
that the diggings are already over
crowded, and that the most fortunate
do net do more than make wages by
hard work in the midst of danger and
iscomfort.
The Calhon Ionumekt. The long
delayed project of erecting a monu
ment to John U Calhoun is about to
be carried into effect by the Ladies'
Monument Association of Charleston,
C. It has been decided to have the
foundation and pedestal of native gran-
te. and eurmountine this will be a
colossal figure of Calhoun in bronze,
to be modeled after the statue of Pow
ers, which in former years occupied a
place in the City Hall of Charleston.
The site of the monument has not yet
been determined,
A singular decision h..s been render
ed by the Missouri Supreme Court, or
dering a new trial in the case of Kring,
a condemned murderer, not from any
doubt of his guilt, but simply because
he was manacled in C3urt while under
trial the shackles being put on him
on account of a murderous assault he
made in the court-room upon the hus
band of the woman for slaying whom
tie was condemned. Chicago Times.
The Courier-Journal demos that it
will in any case support Mr Bristow,
though having the highest opinion of
that gentleman s character ana UDiniy
and adds : "The Democratic party
should this year run a straight ticket,
and we shall contend tor tha'. It
should pick two of its iblestand purest
men, put tbem on a sound platlorm,.
and try to elect them.
