JS" A little son of Mrs. Moore, who
with his mother, is visiting his grand

leg. He was getting along very well
last night.
A young man in town named
Dick has a Billy Goat named Bob
which he is desirous of disposing of.
Although the goat is very strong he is
not too strong to have about the yard.
He works equally well in single or
double harness and has a ten minute
record, having in that unprecedentedly
short time digested the entire hangings
of a clothes line and immediately with
unabated energy turned his attention
to a brass-jointed, vulcanized rubber
syringe, which has not been heard of
since. Cash on delivery will not be
insisted on.
A ChaurloUe Pamphlet.
Mr. Harper J. Elam, of this office,
will, in a short while, publish a pamph
let reviewing the business of Charlotte,
with short sketches of the leading bus
iness houses. The book is an advertis
ing medium, gotten up in very much
the same style as the short history of
King's Mountain, which Mr. Elam pub

celebration of that battle.
r. mittag- Claims the Honor of lh
invention of the Telephone.
J. F. G. Mittag, the "philosopher of
Lancaster, who was for some time a
citizen . of Charlotte, in a letter to the
Charleston News and Courier, claims
that he suseested the nrincinles that
made the telephone a possible inven
tion. He claims that in 1877 he an
nounced these principles through the
press, and that he is entitled to the
honor of the discovery. It will be re
membered that the Doctor has written
yarious letters for the papers here on
recent electric inventions, claiming
to have published years ago theories
from which . some of ' them were developed.

To the Editor of The Observer:
In a recent article in your paper
headed "The Pride of the Town," I fol
lowed the reporter in his rounds
through some of the most attractive
parts of the city, with very great pleas
ure, and. the reasonable pride of an
over-partial Charlottean. However,
readers of the paper who are non-resi
dents of the town must oy no means
regard the enumeration of pleasant
flaces as exhaustive, and I hope, before
ong, the reporter will extend his "walks
abroad" and give us pen-pictures of
that high, breeze-catching locality
known as Mechanicsville, and the wide
shaded streets and home-dwellings in
Smith villa, and .across the railroad at
lamps our economical board five us for
a few hours on Sunday and Wednesday
nights, and that even when lighted
only make darkness visible, will f or
evar "pale their ineffectual fires.' The

by a grass plat protected by a low iron
railing. Only think .what a beautiful
ODject lor we eye to aobw uu, wuere now

not altogether a day-dream, for I hold

I have also had the pleasure of seeing
a very handsome and elaborate plan of
a large park and pleasure ground to be
a perpetual memorial of our Confed
erate heroes of Mecklenburg county,
but I must reserve the description of

Stolen Goods Discovered.
The chief of police states that a
quantity of clothing which there is
every reason to believe is stolen, has
been found at a house in the city. In
deed some stolen goods have already
been recognized in the find. Mrs.
Moyer, an account of the robbery of
whose store, on the corner of Fourth
and Tryon streets, was published in
The Observer some time ago, nas
found not only the dresses which she
missed on that occasion, but also other
things belonging to her stock, which
she had not m rased. Those who have
missed clothing by applying to the
chief of police may discover the same
amongst this quantity, which it is esti
mated is worth from $75 to $100.

The Failure of Two Fair Associa
tions. It is now claimed that the failure of
the Carolina fair is not attributable to
the inability of the association to get
the grounds, but it is asserted that by too
much diploma and too little cash pre
mium, its constitution was fatally ex
hausted. In cases of extreme weak
ness the diploma is not the mo3t ap
proved stimulant. But we should not
feel too much resentment-towards the
society for this malpractice when we
remember that the criminal negligence
of the Salisbury fair association in al
lowing the prize; bull accesa to the
pumpkins, demolished at a bite,
as it were, that young and flourishing
institution. .

Miss Mary McNery, Mr. Willie Olivon,

Mr. George Plurner, Mr. Clark Reid,
Mr. J. S. Ross, Miss Emeline Rendman,
find equally attractive as for instance,
under Mrs. Osborne's centennial oaks
that lift their proud domes far up into
the summer sunshine, or where a clump
of dark murmuring pine trees in Miss
Sarah Davidson's yard, almost the only
pines left from"the forest primeval,
make mournful and perpetual music,
or down on the west side of south
Tryon, where among several handsome
new houses, one of the most charming
residences in the whole town is grow
ing into beauty and nearing comple
tion. Goethe, 1 think it is, says "archi
tecture is music in stone." Take his
idea and note what a pretty song Mr.
Morgan's house is what pleasing
melody! what delicate roulades!
what graceful trills! and not a single
inharmonious note.
Nor did the reporter make a halt at
any of our i churches. He, certainly
contemplates taking another walk at
an early day, and far be it from me to
anticipate his purpose or go over the
ground before him. My purpose when
1 began was not to recapitulate our
points of pride, or glorify over what
we had done, out ratner to lament over
what we had left undone. As a good
housekeeper looks with a keen eye to
her own corners and closets and seeks
in her own proper domain what to con
demn and remove, while she goes to
her friend's house blind to all but what
is fair and admirable, so an old resident
of Charlotte, one who has been thor
oughly identified with the place for a
whole generation, taxes xne noeriy to
do a little sweeping up.
In the beginning we must recognize
the fact that our town has no special
objects of natural interest It does not
lie like Asheville, encircled by the ever
lasting hills, and fanned by cool winds
from "the misty mountain tops," nor
like Wilmington, with the waters of
the Cape Fear laving her very lawns
and vineyards and with white-winged
skiffs ready to bear her pleasure parties
to any of the beautiful bays that
everywhere indent the shores, or if
one prefers a drive to a sail, with
the nrm elastic shell road that
fticellent footing for the horses
and leads directly to Wrightsville
sound with its varied and inexhausti
ble attractions. Our town is a dry, hot
dusty, place. The sun is merciless, the
dust everywhere present and all-permeating.
We have no beautiful prom
enades, no smooth drives, no special
place to go. We are in the condition of
a girl who grows up and finds herself a
remarkably plain woman. It is her du
ty as soon as she realizes the situation
to make herself as interesting and at
tractive as possible; to make every ef
fort to overcome her natural lack of
beauty. And she can do it First she
must cultivate the physical ; straighten
her rounded back, .learn to use her
hands and feet well and move ireeiy
and gracefully. She must cultivate-her
mind, use her words well, and interest
and stimulate by her sparkling speech.
She must cultivate her heart so as to
enter into the feelings and thoughts
-of others and win regard by her ready
sympathy. Such an one will become
the chosen companion, anu win ins
tance all competitors that are only
beautiful.
So the town, recognizing her plain
ness, her lack of natural attractions,
should set herself diligently to over
come these disadvantages. Long ago
it should have been done in her youth
f ul, pristine days. The streets need
straightening, and many, especially the
cross streets, ougni w oe wiueueu; ui u
that is impossible, these narrow, hot,
dusty, back streets might be converted
into green vine-clad Janes. Only
a little trouble would accomplish it
and the effect may be seen in a
measure by noticing how very pretty
the vines look along Col. Wm. John
ston's fence, on Graham street, and
also on the railroad between the Char
lotte Female Institute and Mrs. John
ston's, where the ugly red embankment
is covered with verdure and hung with
honeysuckles that have been thrown
out of the yard.
Trees ought to be planted every
where. Oak, elm and ash make fine
shade, and maples, that are beautiful
from the time tne crimson duus mt
come in spring till the last brilliant leat
falls with the winter frost; and here
and there might be set out a flowering
tree and an evergreen, or some of dif
ferent species and rarer foliage than
our own ioresc growm. hu"
