" The property consists of bix Thousand Thee Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of b as ton and Cleavjjlaad, In the State of North Car ollna, at King's Mountain Depot, on .the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the blchmoud anC Danville railroad company. The property has been used for nf ty years past aa an - Iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic Iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analys ing as high as 66 per centt of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the tacts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of Iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must make it one of the most desirable Iron properties to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, whlcn is 1000 feet above the level laiMl, 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, wiileh crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this f our other vein have been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 66 per cent,- of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore In this mountain Is simply Inexhaustible and of good quality. Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle Is the "highest point -of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except Mt. Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain is full of we also. In addition to iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making Are-proof brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has Just been found In large quan tity. . i . . : . '..-..- i ! As a stock and dairy farm it offers fine opportu titles to those who may wish to engage In such bus iness. It has from three to four thousand acres ot Uvel or only slightly rolling land, which produces i'&ss, grain and all kinds of farming products jnelr. and it Is well suuDlled with water by unfall- bb suriiurs and branches - The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain Ides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and afford excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle. The climate la so mild that bat little shel ter for stock is needed In the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, eedar, etc. The ,land is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize. Cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and grass, and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully ,anu It is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It could be divided into (mall farms that would give to each farm variety of soil, and level and hilly and. It is situated In the Piedmont belt, which Is noted for the salubrity bf Its climate, and too healthiness of its atmosphere. It is a region free from malaria and other nnhaaithy influences, it Is located with great convenience to railroad facili ties, being situated at from two to four miles from King's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the most extensive connections with all parte of the country, and which offers great inducements to those who are trying to develop the country along Its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit purchasers, as follows: The whole tract, including mineral lnterests.for Sixty three Thousand Dollars; or will make favorable terms, reserving the min eral Interest, or will sell one-half the mineral in terest, payment to be one-third cash, balance In oneortwyearv- -- --- i - --- A valuable water poww, which has been used to run large roiling mills, lies adjacent to this prop erty, and can be bought cheaply.

THE THREE 'si -', - There are four gentlemen in the U 8. Senate whose names begin with a V, Vance, Voorhees, Vest, Dem crats, and .Van. Wyck, Republican. The' three first have been elected to succeed themselves, the first without opposition ;. the second by the largest majority on joint ballot ever given to any Senatorial candidate in the State, and the; third, after a little skirmish -i ing in the caucus, by the full' vote of his party, which is in overwhelming majority in the legislature. ' We call attention to this not only -because it was such a decided compliment to the three Vs as because there is a meant ing and a lesson in it. They are all big brained, eloquent, ; positive men,' candid men, aggressive men, men of convictions with the courage to main-; tain, defend and vote for them when' tbe time for voting comesl But more1 than that, they : are honest men. These are the characteristics that make" them conspicuous and -give them the standing among their con stituents that they. havo. s They are not of the pompous order of men w.ho wrap themselvesi ; in the garb of as sumed , dignity and strut the floor with measured stride, imagining that the world takes them at their own estimate, but are men of the people, in sympathy with the people, for whom theytalk and for whom they vote. They carry with them the dig nity of manhood,, to which the sena torial title does not add, and which commands not only the respect but the admiration and the love of their people. ' In politics they are no truck lers in maintaining their convictions no waverera. They can always be found, and always nearest the battle flag in the front. Had they been less 80, had they been more of self-seek ers an4 time servers, and less devoted to principle, they certainly would hot be where they are today by the splen did endorsement which they received. People may differ from such men sometimes on public questions, may object 'sometimes -.to'',' the 'positions they , take, but when they measure the men, compare the sterling hons esty, the unapproachable integrity, the thorough sincerity'and the man " ly boldness that characterize them in contrast with other prominent figures in public life they forget the differs, ences in admiration of their virtues. North Carolina is proud of - her Vance, Indiana of her Voorhees, Mis souri of her if est, and well they may be. . - - Paddy Ryan is a heavy hitter, of Celtic stock, whose abiding place is Troy, N. Y., hence he is familiarly called the Trojan. John L. Sullivan, also of Celtic stock, abides, when ". he is not abroad on business or pleasure, in Boston the hnb of Massachusetts, and is known as the slugger. The Tro jan and the slugger had a little glove milling match, in New York last Monday evening which was attended by a very large audience, and con ducted under the supervision of the chief of police, Paddy seems to have been too much for the slugger, got in ' some terrific stunners, and was punishing him severely when the police called a close. , i ; ! The cattle kings ,oL .Wyoming and the Northwest have become satisfied that nothing can be effected in the way of legislation by Congress to grant them leases of the public lands jat the present session; '; and are now anxious s that ' the whole ' subject should be dropped out of discussion. Albert T. Babbitt, of Wyoming, says that the government might, have a revenue of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 per annum Dy leasing the unoccupied lands subject to their occupancy un der the present land lawsl' , ,: ' -v- Th Armv Tf.np-inppra nrnvml nnn Iclusively to their own. satisfaction that the jetty' system - proposed by Capt.

Many Boston salesmen have re- returned .from the West and Sou.h reporlmg sales from 80 to 90 per cent, of ; last year's trip. The shipments loom Boston since Jan, 1 have been 1G3,69- casjs, against 117,408 cases for the same time last year. It is ex pected, however, that-the January shipments will show more ; deereas EADS SHIP RAILWAT. Aa Fxhiblt that Wins Friends for the " i Scheme. v A Washington special of January 20 says: Ever since the model of the Eads Ship Railway was placed in the the Butler building, diagonally oppc-. site the southeast corner of the capi tol, it has been visited almost hourly by crowds of 'eager and. interested people.' Coi.. Andrews is on hand constantly, and an assistant explains the principles on which it works. One can witness the whole operation, the sinking tf the carriage, the lifts ing of the ship into place, the trans portation over tbe railway, the turns table : in ' making angles, and the' lowering of the cradle and floating of the ship in deep water at the other end, It is : certainly . a wonderful piece of mechanism, and all who see; it are convinced of the perfect availa bility of Capt. Eads' plan. Every day the belief in Capt. Eads'i plan gains strength. Congressmen, 1 officials of every grade, and visitors are all delighted and satisfied. ;,.;l; )J CoL Andrews has a large map wbereon he points out the advantages of the Tehauntepec route. the saving of . hundreds of miles of ' travel, ana. the fact, especially important to Newi Orleans, that the highway would thus be through the Gulf of Mexico: instead ot the Carribbean Sea. ,' An other consideration suggested is that sailing ; vessels going , through 1" the Nicaragua or Panama canal would strike the Pacific in latitude out of reach of the trade winds and be sub ject to prolonged calms! -" ' : ; it is ' very certain tnat tne exmDi- tion of this model and the arguments of Col. Andrews are producing a pro-! found impression. ... . ; 4 YOUNG MOTHER'S SAD PLIGHT. H anderiac; , Barefooted in -, the 8 Tee? With a Naked Baby la Her Arms, j At 2.30 Tuesday morninir. when the thermometer was 14 degrees ; below zero, Officer Ryan, of the Cottage Grove avenue station, Chicago, pat roling his beat in the vicinity of Michigan avenue and , twenty-ninth street, was attracted by a form wand ering about thelopen lot at that corner. Approaching. Officer Ryan discover-. . it to be a woman. She was in a hysterical condition and the apron wbicb covered ner pooriy ciaa 1 iorm was held close to her breast. Besides this she was barefooted. When the policeman stopped her he looked into the apron." To his surprise he saw a newly born infant snuggling Hip " to the girl. . It was naked and all the covering to protect it from the biting wind was the calico apron. In an-, swer to questions, the girl i said he? name was Annie Hanson . and that she was a domestic in the employ of W J. Gunning, 2941 Indiana avenue. The patrol wagon was hastily sum moned and the unfortunate creature was : conveyed to the Hahnemann Hospital, where she now lies. All attempts to make her .tell who i was the father of the ; babe, have failed and she will say nothing except that the child was born shortly before the discovery by the officer, r '- - Reports from the bospitai say : mat the girl and her child are in a- good condition, in spite of their terrible experience. i Against the Spanish Treaty. . A protest against the Spanish trea ty, representing 600 business firms of New York and an annual business of over $1,000,000; has ; been prepared, and will be submitted to the Com mittee on Foreign Relations. This monster petition makes twelve points against the treaty: i 1 A brier, recapitulation oi tnese od jections is : : i - H - j - That the treaty is not a reciprocity treaty, but a treaty for the relief of bankrupt Cuban estates, and to make the island once more profitable to Spain. !-.:: .: a -w-.j i Tbaf we reunqui8n fau.uuu.uw and the othor contracting parties $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 of revenue ; and that we exchange a "larger and a freer" market of 55,000,000 inhabi tants, while , the "larger and freer'' market we get numbers 2,500,000, mostly negroes and coolies. That the benet to our snipping is moonshine A measure to admit til suirar imported inAmerican vessels at 10 per cent less duty than if., im ported in foreign bottoms would re allv be beneficial to our merchant marine, whereas the Spanish treaty only proposes to benenc a iew. . ; That tbe aestrucuon oi our sugar producing would follow its ratifica tion l"t - 5 - ; lil't -' i That it would jeopardize our to bacco and- cigar interests..;: . - I That the product or sugar or tobac co would not pe cheapened to Ameri can consumers.; - - "t- i J That thousands of American labor-. ers would be thrown out of work, in - favor of the $2-a-week labor of these islands. ,"- I t- . ; ' ..

The report' proposes to '-build Railroads, the estimated cost of which- will be nearly1 $150,000,000 -heL most 1 of them to be operated by the Governs ment." : i Other routes are pointed oujb wnicu are regaraea as certain to De remunerative, and which 1 are ; tov "he left entirely to private enterprise: ' i: It is estimated that - the famines cost the Indian Government $75,O0O 000 every ten '-years; and, U this be true, the extension, of the 'railway ; System will not only be a human but a wise financial measure. At - ant rate the extension of the railroad ays-; tern or India wm be ' watched -".with great interest in the United States, aS it means a new source of competition for our farmers. ! ,! , ' ,u -: i ' i Washington Societr. , V, Washington Correspondence Kew York World , - A distinguished army officer- said : There is a lower tone in society here at the ' present tame than ' has : been known tor years. 1 do not mean by that immorality, - but I mean simply coarse ' of ' manners and excessive snobbery. You can say what you please about the Hay ea, but there is one thing that is beyond question; the white house was kept up on the same plan of decency that is found in the purest of private families. Social ly speaking, it was above criticism; There was no time during the' 'Hayes rule when tbe most fastidious parent could have : objected s to taking his daughter there., Ido not know whether you have noticed it or not, but you do not see many daughters of our best people" at the white house under its present regime; There may be a great many reasons for this."- To put it mildly, I think it is not unjust to say that the tone of the white house clique is altogether too fast to pleas people who desire to bring up ' their daughters carefully," - 1 ; Marriage ot BeilelBoyd's Daughter. , : The Dallas (Texas) Herald of a re-i cent date says: "Miss Grace Harding Hammond, the daughter of ; Belle Boyd known as the 'Rebel Spy, - was married in this city Tuesday night to Ray Charteris, an Englishman about twen.yone'years of age, who claims to be the Earl of - Hen wood. For nearly a year past Charteris has been employed in this city as an instruc tor in - elocution..
