Mr. Campbell, a mining man who boards at the Central, has a pet terra pin, which he allows to rove at large in his room.

It is perfectly gentle, never attempts to bite and seems to have a genuine, affection for its owner. old John Robinson. Mr. Ed C.

Philadelphia Areata on a Toar of In spection They Express ThenuelTee u Delighted with tne Conntryand Climate, and Think It Admirably Salted tor the People which They Propobe to Send. Messrs. j. Edelman, Fr. Brandly.Fr Schoen, and P. Michel, a: committee representing . the Teutonia Immigra tion Society, of Philadelphia, reached the city yesterday; via the Air-Line, from an extensive prospective tour in Western North Carolina. During the afternoon they were in consultation with Mr.W.W. Flemmlng, attorney and immigration agent of this city. Mr. Flemming took the gentle men out for a ride, from which they re turned much pleased with our little city. A reporter of The Observer called upon them at the Central, and from Mr. J. Edelman obtained some inter esting facts with regard to the work of their society and the impression they obtained of Western North Carolina as suited to German immigration. Mr. Edelman said he and his .-party had visited Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard and other towns in the south western counties. "What do you think of the country ?" inquired the reporter. "Hike it unqualifiedly. We find there everything we want land, timber, wa ter-power and climate. I shall make very favorable reports to the society. The only difficulty in the way is the uncertainty of title and that is one of the greatest advantages which the West offers to the immigrant. In the gov ernment and railroad lands there are no old deeds and grants to be looked into. The government grant guarantees the title at once. If there is one thing more than another which the immi grant dreads it is an attack on his title. Of course it is perfectly natural for one to fear that among strangers he may be tricked in the beginning and fail to get justice when it comes to a trial. So that nine out of ten prefer to go West, where nothing intervenes between the government grant and the peaceful possession. The immigrant is of course nearly always a poor man, who cannot afford a lawsuit tor his land even when he is confident of perfect fairness. But this difficulty in Southern immigration is made of little account now, at least along the Piedmont Air-Line, for that company offers with great liberality to have the title of all lands within the territory of its connections which im migrants may desire to occupy exam ined by able legal council and guaran teed. This and other offers of this com pany place it, I think, far ahead of the Western roads in the liberality of its bids for immigration. I know no other road in the United States which equals it in this respect." "You have then determined to locate a colony in Western North Carolina?" "Yes, if we can get approved title for lands for which we are negotiating we will send out the first installment of a colony of several hundred next fall. Butyou must understand that we have as yet made no investment, although there is little doubt that we will, if the title can be approved. The society that I represent will devote itself especially to the settlement in the South of Ger man colonies ranging from one to five hundred families, which.of course, will demand large tracts of land. For the present we propose to bring them from among the German population of the Northern States, and then through our connections with European emigration societies and papers we can with much more facility effect the immediate in troduction here of foreigners as the ex istence of a colony of their own people will turn such immigrants South much more rapidly. With the location of single families and individuals we will of course have very little to do." "Has your society yet located any col ony in the South '" "No ; it was formed only last spring, and Western North Carolina is the on ly point we have yet visited, although I imyself have been for two years in communication with various parties in Western North Carolina.' I examined Bometime ago a large tract of land in McDowell county, offered by the West ern North Carolina Land Company, but it was too rugged. I like the lands in Henderson and Transylvania much bet ter. I know of none anywhere which offers so many inducements to the Ger man immigrant, especially those from the Bavarian and Tyrolean mountains. Indeed, the countries are very similar. The lack of railroad communication is a great drawback, but the completion of the roads even now being built will give that." The people or your colonies win ail be agricultural, I suppose?" "Nearly all of them for the present, although it is desired to introduce with the colonies necessary artisans, and in time it is hoped that we may be able to induce those to come who have the means and the inclination to utilize the magnificent water powers we find there." Do you think Western North Caro lina and the highlands of the South generally more eligible for immigra tion than the pranesor tne westr Yes. decidedly so in many respects. The climate, in the first place, is much better, and in the second place tnere are none of those exterminating crop disasters which are so trying on the Western settler. The lands in your mountains are everything we oould ask, the winters comparatively mild and, as I said before, the climate and character of the country more suited to German immigration. The Teutonia Society, wnicn Mr. Edelmann and his companions repre sent, is composed entirely of German citizens of Philadelphia, and its special business, althoueh or course not con fined exclusively to that. is. as Mr. Edelmann states, the colonization of German farmers of the Northern States in the South. . The Comet at It Perlgo . The comet reached the point nearest to the earth early Sunday morning. Astmnomers have predicted that it would at that time and for several eve nings nrevious be visible to the nakd eye at this locality, but no reports of its appearance here have yet been made The comet was visible to the naked eye at New York on Tuesday evening, Auffust 16. at 8.45 o'clock, being at that time some ten degrees above the hori zon, in the northwestern heavens.

' I m i Hallroad Items, The Richmond & Danville Rail road by their purchase of E. Benson & Co.'s imterest in the Hartwell road, having acquired the control and man agement of said road, the president and board of directors of the road filed their resignations at a meeting held in Hartwell on Wednesday last. It is thought the Clyde syndicate could swallow the A. T. & O. and hot be conscious of its digestion.

The mark. of Three Quarters of a Century Ago A New Way to Locate Old Land. Quite a curiosity was exhibited at the Central Hotel. It is a stone shaped very much like an Indian spear head, which is buried in a pine knot, taken from a large pine cut down day before yesterday near the city. The tip of the stone barely showed through the bark. From the rings formed by the annual growth of the tree, it is calculated that it had probably been there not more than half a century. which calculation unfortunately de stroyed the rising hopes of a reporter of the Observer to whom it was exhibit ed, that he would be able to announce the discovery of a relic of the mysteri ous aborigines of the continent. But a gentleman who stood by furn ished apropos to the curiosity, the fol lowing : Some years ago he was at a loss to locate the boundaries of a tract of 2,500 acres of pine barren land, in Lancaster county, South Carolina, the last records of which that could be found being the 76-year old grants in the department of State, at Columbia. Copies of these were taken and hands set to work cutting down those trees which from various local traditions and ancient landmarks were thought to be identical with some described in these old grants as having been mark ed in certain ways at the time of the surveys from which the grants were made. The gentleman, Mr. it. M. Mil ler, of this city, that out of a large num ber of trees cut down and split open in search of these marks, many were found which actually retained imbedded in their hearts the scars of these marks made and recorded three quarters of a century before. By means of these the Doundanes of the tract were located. The Jubilee Singere. To the Editor of The Observer. I desire to acknowledge through your paper a complimentary serenade last evening by the J ubnee Singers. They sing well and propose giving an enter tainment soon in the opera house. I advise those who .wish to spend an hour pleasantly and hear some really good, melodious music, to attend. Respectfully, C. N. G. Butt. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH AUGUST 25, 1881. PRODUCE.
