Col. Wm. Johnston announces him

Seventy-five mires of new steel rails

since the repairing commenced.
Capt. Samuel Gross, was last night
very ill with pleurisy, at his residence
on south Tryon street. It was greatly
feared the morning wouldnot find him
alive.
The fast mail missed the connec
tions beyond Washington night before
last, and consequently no Northern pa
pers or letters were received here yes
terday. An entire act of the Pirated of
Penzance was successfully gone
through with by the members of the
Gounod Club last night, and they are
greatly encourged by their progress.
A telegram from New York yes
terday conveys the intelligence that the
water works contract has been signed
by all the necessary parties and will be
returned in a few days.
Attention ia called toVT2XM. An

ing. An addition lias lately been added

The Monroe Enquirer, after copy
ing The Observer's article on the

"We learn from persons who have had
an opportunity for noticing the briar
patches in this vicinity that they are
all killed here also."
0:caeiou oi .he Delay.
The Richmond & Danville train, due
lere at 1.52 p. m. yesterday, did not ar
rive until about 9 p. m. The delay was
occasioned by an accident' to a freight
train by which two cars were wrecked
at Drake's Branch, about 60 miles be
yond Danville. The mail was obliged
tj wait until the wrecking train arriv
ed and cleared the track.
I m i
Conscience money
The Anson Times makes reference
as follows to an incident which has
just occurred to a gentleman who was,
until recently, a citizen of Charlotte:
"Our townsman, Col. L. S. Williams,
was twenty years ago a member of the
firm of Oates & Williams, of Charlotte.
There has been no such firm under that
title since 1859. The colonel received a
letter last week, addressed to L. S. Wil
liams, Wadesboro, containing $5, evi
dently in a disguised hand, and saying
only 'the property of Oates & Williams?
He thinks it is conscience money, and
returns his thanks to his repentant
friend."
Alice Oates Coming.
Comic opera is growing more and
more popular in Charlotte and this fact
of itself would tend to give Alice Oates
cordial welcome on her appearance
at the opera house next Monday night.
At this time also the Lenten season
will have closed, and those who have
been withdrawing themselves from
such pleasures will find a peculiar rel
ish in her presentation of "Olivette.'
khe was with us last season and played
to one of the largest and most delighted
audiences we had. There is a charm
abeut her acting which catches all
even those who find no special pleasure
,u. goon music, and she always carries
un ner a good company.

Shall the Telephone be Discontinued 7
About one year has now elapsed since
ueus teiepnonic system was first es
tablished here. As to the advantage it
has been to our citizens its Datrons can
best testify, and the fact that; these are-
aimost unanimous in desiring its con
tinuance is sufficient evidence of its-
utility. The enterprise so far, however,
is said to have proved unprofitable to
the originators and a necessity for its.
discontinuance is feared if others do-
not rally to its support. It is evident
that the value of this method of 'com-
jnumcation will be enhanced to each-
individual member'' in protiortion as.
the whole number of subscribers in
crease, and therefore it is to the inter
est of every one. that it be so increased.
Under the efficient management of Mr.
Eugene R. Dodge there has been com
paratively few hitches in the
working of the system to what
other places have experienced, and
there never has been any complaint
made the cause of which has not been
promptly remedied. Mr. Dodge will
canvass the city for new subscriptions
in a few days, and every business man
at least should have and use the tele
phone. The irlllUary'and the Yorktowu Cele
bration 4
xne itaieign jy ews-uoserver states a
piece of news which will interest mem
bers of our military companies:
"It is probable that his excellency
Governor Jar-vis will prescribe a State
uniform for the Guard. The fancy
dress uniforms now in use wilt be un
serviceable and uncomfortable on such
fcn occasion as the Yorktown celebra
tion. It is, in fact, necessary to the
comfort and appearance of the troops
that they should have such a service
dress. Therefore we are gratified to
know that the same uniform will be
worn by all our troops. It will add a
hundred per cent, to the appearance
and efficiency of the Guard."
The same paper also says:
"The Adjutant-General is making ar
rangements for the transportation or
the command to Yorktown, and for
their shelter and subsistence while
there. It i3 entirely practicable for
North Carolina troops to maintain
their old-time reputation and glorious
recordand to look as well and do as
well at Yorktown as troops from any
State.

A Smart Little Woman.
Manv people in Charlotte reit ember
Mrs. Beasley, who with her husband
and son Charlev. lived in this city some
years aao. leaving here for Philadel
phia just about the time the centennial
celebration began and there opening a
boarding house, where she entertained
manv persons from the South. The
Keidsville Times tens tnis story or ner

"She has invented a life saving raft for
savins lives at sea that has been adopt
ed bv the government over hundreds
of similar inventions. She has also in
vented a merchant's tag that one firm
in Philadelphia made a contract for
thirtv-five thousand, and has invented
an attachment tor sewing macnines ior
makinz complete burton holes ana
and smoothing the rough places. She
told Dr. Smith, of this town, who went
to see her when in Philadelphia, that a
merchant showed her what was de
ficient in the button holes and she at
nnf.A told him she could invent such an
attachment and went to work and did
so. and on this slight invention a stock
company was at once formed, Mrs.

The: Times say 3 she was recently in-
terviewea oy uue mo "-j pii'd,
and was spoken of as a Philadelphian,
whereas she "was born at Hoosiertown,
near Winston, her maiden name being
Hoosier.
How Stick Candy U JIade, .
It is not perhaps generally known
that all hut a verv inconsmeraDie por
tion of the stick candy sold by whole
sale and retail in the stores in tne city
and hv the country and village mer
chants for a great distance around is
manufactured here, but such is the
fact. It is estimated that from 500 to
1,000 pounds of suck candy is made in
this city daily. Before the war the
manufacture of this" sweet-meat was
considered an , attainment beyond the
reach of our people, and ins i ankee
was the first medium through whom it
was obtained Shortly after the war it
hMrahio' be manufactured here on a
limited scale- which has gradually been
extended until now scarcely any oi it is
imnorted. And this IS not at ail sur
prising, considering the simple way in
which is is made: The sugar (only the
beat grade of New Orleans being used)
is put into a large kettle over a furnace
fire, with about a gallon of water to 10
pounds. In this it bolls from 20 to 30
minutes; and is. then- poured out on
marllo slabs to cooL.- , While r it .4s Still

and uiu'dtTwitli ieoxshineal prntiV t is

around it. It is then drawn out and
rolled about in long pieces until it be
comes of one size, like that of the pieces
seen in the candy jars on the store
shelves. When it is cut in sticks dnd
wrapped up in five-pound packages roc
the trade.
Tiie Richmond: and Danville and
the
Koad to Athens.
Augusta Chronicle, 14th.
The Richmond and Danville Railroad
it will be remembered a few days since
made an offer to the city of Athens ior
its stock in the Northeastern Railroad,
and this offer was accepted, subject to
ratification by a majority of the voters
of Athens. It is not believed that Mr.
Wadley will make any contest with the
Richmond and Danville for this road.
regarding it as of no particular import
ance to the new combination, it is al
so rumored that the Richmond and
Danville will seek to obtain a controll
ing interest in the Central by the pur
chase of stock, but this is not thought
to have much foundation, as it is be
lieved that Mr. Wadley, Mr. Taylor
and others interested in the. new
syndicate, control enough stock
in the Central already ' to pre
vent the Richmond and, ' Danville
from getting in if it was so disposed.
The two combinations meet at Atlanta
and both must use the Western and
Atlantic Railroad for a part of the way
at any rate. The Richmond and Dan-
vine is at present present aiming to
reach New Orleans, so as to "have a line
of its own from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Atlantic, and it must go over the
State Road as far as Dalton. It is pro
bable that when the lease of the State
Road expires both of.the combinations
will strive to get it.
Many of our youne married DeoDle don't know
what a blessing Dr. Boll's Baby Syrup is until the
youagster is able to yeU by the hour.
