The mos qul-to is coming, In a week he'll be on hand; When we hear the cusses cozing. Then there's mourning in the land K3T The marble tablets of Wittkows ky & Baiuch are the nobbiest things in town in the way of signs. The bicyclers of the city were out in force equipped in the most ap proved mode yesterday afternoon. W Mrs. Hannah' Taylor and Thos. Cooper both have valuable papers in the postofflce uncalled for. ISP A big excursion from Richmond over the Western North Carolina road to Asheville goes up to-day. tir A case of assault and battery waa continued yesterday morning until this morning by Mayor De Wolfe. E2T It is said a very cheap excursion will be soon run over the Pied mont Air-Line to Philadelphia. UtiT Uncle Johnny Rooke has gone into the blacksmith business and has a commodious shop on the corner of Fourth and Church streets. BUT A good many of the farmers have cut their corn down for fodder without even having got a mess of roasting ears. John Robinson's circus is head ing South and will strike North Caro lina about the 10th of September. It will probably come by Charlotte during the month. tW Columbia, Rock Hill, Con cord and Wilmington have been delivered of their first bales of cotton, and ours is expected very soon. The fields are even now in their inter esting condition. J" A target shooting of the Hornets Nest Riflemen yesterday afternoon is one of the indications of the recent re vival of the interest in the company. The new officers are fine-looking sol diers. Thanks to the Chicago Ideal Jubilee Singers for a most delightful serenade last night, interrupted by the stern ideas of duty of one of our stal wart policemen. The singing was sim ply perfect. -Ross Raymond, the New York correspondent of the Atlanta Constititr tion, says more dollars have been in vested by New Yorkers in Colorado mining stocks than cents have been taken out of the mines, which all goes to show that North Carolina mines are hot the worst played out mines iu the world. A Toang RIan' Dentil. Mr. Sloan M. Hargrave, of Iredell county, died of pneumonia at the resi dence of his father, near Mooresville, day before yesterday. The deceased was a brother of Mr. L. D. Hargrave, of this city, and was in the prime of manhood, being about 26 years old. He leaves a large circle of friends. The Sort of Bulletins They Are Mr. H. C. Eccles, who passed through Washington Monday night, says he was told the President's pulse had reach ed as high as 138. The highest point which the bulletins reported its hav ing reached on that day was 130. When Mr. Eccles expressed surprise at tbe fact that the bulletins had not record ed the highest pulse he was told as if of an accepted fact that the bulletins never did give the worst symptons. mm i m i i A Had Inferior Court Docket. In the Inferior Court yesterday Flor ence Brown, colored, was found guilty of larceny. Noah Wilson, colored, was convicted of the same offense, and W. B. Pennington and Bob Atkinson, both colored, were found guilty of carrying concealed weapons. Solicitor Grier says that the present docket of the In ferior Court is worse than ever before, lie has already convicted three men of house breaking-r-hi the day time, however, which makes the offense only larceny. A Mule Too "Previous." A few days ago The Observer an nounced that Rev. G. D. Berhheim, of Wilmington, had been elected president of the North Carolina College, at Mt. Pleasant in Cabarrus county, but we now learn that the board of trustees of that institution will not meet until Oct. 5th, at which time only such an election could take place. Our inform ant, however, didn't err yery far, as it is understood that his name has been canvassed among the trustees with seeming approbation. Peraonal --Mr. Gilmer Brenizer is back from Morgantob. Mr. Willis Doard has returned from Asheville. Luther Benson, the temperance orator who made the biggest sensation of the campaign here is at Morehead City enjoying the sea breeze. -Mr. Latta C. Johnson and Mr. J no. Dates are at Saratoga. Th3 latter writes that a number of Charlotte people are there. Mrs. B. D. Caldwell and children left yesterday evening to visit relatives at Davidson College. Mr. W.R. Myers, Jr., has returned from a two week's visit to Cleaveland. and will resume his duties as mail agent on the Richmond & Danville. Capt- Fred. Nash, city clerk, has been absent some days.

Two years ago there were some com plaints of Mormon propagandists in Western North Carolina,, but as they had not been heard from of late it was supposed that the latter day saints had found our mountaineers too firmly Wedded to their wives and their re ligion to be carried away by the new and seductive doctrines of the Illinois prophet, and' despairing of an impres sion upon this obstinate people, had gone to Georgia, where, it seems from the agitation of the question by. the Atlanta Constitution and the - fact that a bill has been introduced into the Georgia Legisla ture to stop these zealous voices crying in the wilderness "prepare ye the "way of Joe Smith," they have met with more success. But they have "broke out" in a new spot in the land of the sky. An Ob server representative yesterday learn ed from a gentleman who has just re turned from Mitchell county that About three weeks ago two sleek, well fed lookiog brethren with hard sounding names that he could not re member made their appearance in the coves of Grassy Point township, and announced themselves preachers of the Word. With the unquestioning faith of an honest and simple people and the broad liberality of the Chris tianity of that country, a church was thrown open to the strangers. A large and unsuspecting congregation assem bled to hear them. They proceeded in due form, praying with much unction and taking their texts after the fash ion of the orthodox. They spoke for some time before the congregation be gan to realize that these men were the missionaries of the Salt Lake City church. But it became evident before the end, and a more indignant congre gation has seldom been seen in the mountains. The sanctified brethren were informed that further edificatton from them was not desired. The church was closed against them and they were run out of the township with the understanding that they were not to return. But with the persistent zeal of the creed enthusiast they sought still re moter scenes and like the outcast cov enanters of old Scotland, they preached and prayed in the woods and caves of this wildest part of the Alleghanies. As is characteristic of their propagand ism everywhere, they shun the towns and seek to make their proselytes from among the simplest and most ignorant of the mountaineers. That they have been sent out by their church, and not alone by the strength of their con victions there can be little doubt. Indeed, it is believed they make no de nial of the fact. They-are still in the county, although not allowed to make any addresses at either church or public rendezvous. Their labors, however, have been ex tremely barren, for the only outspoken convert they have made is a man who, it is said, already luxuriates in the em braces of four wiyes and stands in dicted therefor in the courts. This man and the preachers, however, both claim that they have affected many who are ready to embrace their creed and its results at any time they think it prudent. This is doubted greatly by the intelligent citizens of Mitchell, who, if they believed it, would not, they declare, tolerate even the clandes tine preaenmg or tnese men. At the Sugar Creek "Opera House.'' The Sugar Creek moonlight festival. and theatricals are growing to De an institution of no insifrmheant propor tions. Large numbers beside those from the immediate neighborhood, represent ing Charlotte, Mallard Creek, Steel Creek, Sharon and other sections, as sembled at Mr. Martin Alexanders grove, in Sugar Creek, six miles from the city, nigut belore last, to partici pate in the pleasures of the occasion. Charlotte, in particular, was repre sented bv a detachment of Hornets' Nest Riflemen in uniform, a crowd known as the "Beaver Club," who ex cited general notice and admiration by their conspicuous and imposing bear ing, and a miscellaneous number of other persons. The Sugar Creek "Opera House was a unique affair. It consisted of an acre or more of ground inclosed by cotton bagging stretcned. around the trees. At the upper end was the stage, a real- v elegant arrangement, in ail respects like a house except for the curtain and foot-lights. General surprise was exr pressed by the visitors at the excellence with which the young amateurs car ried out their parts. The acting was marked with ease and grace and SDriehtlv and vigorous interpretation of the characters. The lack of profes sional assurance and the aids of art, were fully compensated by naturally well bred manners, and the genuine roses and hues of health and beauty with which nature had painted the youths and maidens. The voune laaies wno cook me pnu- ci pal parts were: Misses Hallie and Miriam Caldwell, of Sugar Creek; Miss Ida McElwee. of Lancaster, 8. C, and MissMacorle Davis: the gentlemen were : Messrs. is et and vv imam iues, Somers Alexander, Green Caldwell and Henderson Dixon. The festivities continued until about o'clock in the morning when the as semblage broke up in the highest of spirits. Additional Water Supplied Messrs. Soter and Ferris finished sur- vevsfor the water works yesterday t'l returned to the JNortn on trie anernoon train. In addition to the water from the Torrence and Ice House branches a pump will if necessary be placed on Briar or McAlDine?s creek, which af fords excellent water. There are also several other branches within a radius of a mile and a half, which can be util ized to reinforce the reservoirs. Searching for Relatives.

DOWN BIT THE SEA-SIDE AT WBlUHTSViLLE SOUND. What they Do to Kill Time Charm ing- Female Beauty la the Bag-Iar Surf. and a Graphic Deecrlptloa of One of the Edea'e of the Old North State. Wrightsvilxe Sound, ) Near Wilmington, August 16, 188L ) To the Editor of The Observer: We have been reading some charm ing letters recently in your columns about "What They Do at the Springs," &c. 1 can cheerfully endorse every good word said of Cleaveland Springs. In fact, place it at the head of the list of delightful summer resorts of North Carolina; but I cannot let Cleaveland carry oft all the laurels this summer, without a word of honest praise lor this glorious place. Try to imagine yourself, as you read, safely ensconced in a huge arm-chair, such as Dr. Johnson calls "The throne of human felicity," a great large airy room with every imaginable comfort, even to a bureau with a sound glass. Now turn your eyes southward and tell me if there ever was a more pleas ing sight than the lovely green sward, dotted here and there with the whitest of shells, easy chairs of all description occupied by the fairest of occupants. I beg pardon, there are three brunettes among the lar on hammocks this morning, sawying back and forth in the breeze (und there is always a breeze), just begging me to come and rest. There are besides twenty of the most bewitching little elves that ever played Loudon Bridge or waded for crabs at low-tide. And tbe trees. These grand ever so old oaks, gnarled and encrusted with a pale sea green para sitical growth, which was born of the salt air that sweeps across them as if Amphitrite herself had wreathed her wet arms around their rugged old trunks ; the long gray moss with a thous and graceful festoons that form airy bridges for the little birds and bridges to build air-castles whenever the weary eye can rest on their ever-changing motion, and just beyond all this the gleaming, glittering, rippling Sound, as it comes up ladened with the pure salt air, and listen 1 there the deep, solemn sound of grand old ocean, reminding us of the great waves of duty rolling and breaking in upon the shores of life. The heart that can feel no responsive throb to all the grandeur, the bright ness, that essentially belongs to this place must indeed be deeply scarred with pain and care. What do we do? you ask. Well, with a somewhat cani balistic tendency, we begin the day with a delicious breakfast rrom the purest of china, real French coffee from the daintiest ot cups, sweetened by a touch from, as a Charlotte youth aptly expresses himself, that sweet rs. iiradly who always saves him a pig fish. Who is it says there is only two reliable instincts of human nature. vanity and hunger i Well, we have a fair share of both here, but a fairer share of the latter. After breakfast comes a lounge on the ever cool piazza, a swing in the hammock, a hsh for crabs, or, perhaps a ride behind the Bessey White, and then comes the fea ture of the day the bath. Each wave is watched with eager eyes as it brings in the tide, and when the glad cry, high-tide," goes ringing through the house, strange, wild figures may be seen gliding, stealing, creeping, to wards the bath house. Then the mer riest laugh, the gayest songs, the wild est screams, can be heard, I was go ing to say, for miles around. Let us just take a peep and see the cause of all this merriment. The hist thing that greets us is a great splash of salt water; we rub our eyes open, and what a "crowded spot of glorious life." Here in one Corner floats a graceful figure in the most becoming of costumes ; here, with arms extended, head thrown back, the long raven curls drifting on the water, gracefully reclines one of the Sound's fairest daughters. How does she do it? One would think her a dream. Here a great splash and down from the highest point dives another followed bv the wildest or screams. Here from the rope leaps our eight year-old Katie, the veriest swimer that ever tasted salt water ; the little manel will fold her arms and take a seat like the purest little lilly that ever floated ; another, with face under water nothing-visible but a head of lovely golden curls drifting with the tide. After all the little flights of social rhetornic, there is only one complete word to ran back on charming. It certainly is all charming, and the glorious nap that follows, you feel yourself braced up full of possibilities ror tne Daianceot the day. Then comes a sail to the banks by moonlight, a seat in "The "im -I . t 1 fil 1 1 J uiyae, ana wuu sucn a pair oi nanus and such a set of eyes as the owners at the helm. We can describe the feelings that come and go as tho boat flies through the water to the lines or Mtio ye Heroes ;" and who that has listened to the tender melody of Mr. Brady's pure tenor, Mr. Conly's rich b.aas, both affluent in youth's full freshness, can ever forget them. If one could medi tate at such a time it would be only to wonder if the force or civilization can go any further. But we are at the banks, and a glorious view of the ocean bursts upon us just as the moon parts the clouds and smiles down on our enrap tured gaze. Surely it must have been "On such a night as this stood Dido, with a willow in her hand, upon tne wild sea beach and waft her love to come again to Carthage." Poor Dido 1 Well, we have no aosencioves 10 con tend with; but a falling tide, to hasten our return, and there in the door stands our lovely hostest, always with a smile tomeettis. Now I would like to tell you about her. Never were guests more tenderly carea ior; ana listen i As the clock chimes eleven, stealing through the din of arrivals comes her low sweet voice, proposing a moon light bath. A joyous shout of assent is her answer, and away we all fly for our suits. And now come with me once more to the bath-h6use. Stand ing grim and gaunt against the moon light away up on a high shelf flickers the feeble rays of a single candle. Now turn your eyes downward, and what do we behold a river of gold the water, ope sheet of glittering, shimmering gold. My Dreatn is rainy taKen; my heart stops beating, and as a very "Clever" fellow nlunees in. the room is instantly studded with a thousand dia monds. Another plungekinto the bath qf liquid gold and another shower of diamonds, and as they slowly emerge, everv face, every head, every bather geeinsto stand and twinkle like stars. Was ever anything more gloriously beautiful? I stand entranced. The dingy, old boards, the broken steps everything is transformed ana glori fied. The commonest omect seems un familiar. Truly, here is a picture that would gladden the heart of a rre- Raphaelite ; a picture that "well might seem delusions of a fairy dream (This DhosDhorescent dismay is not uncom mon here, at this 'season of the jear.) ..
