We are glad to see Col. T. M. Jones

We learn with unfeigned sorrow that
little Hattie, the only daughter of Dr.
D. T. Millard, died this morning at 5
o'clock, after a very brief illneBS. - The
little girl was a very pretty child, bright
in mind, sprightly in manner and sweet
in disposition, and the subject of a gen
eral deep and tender interest, owing to
an accident last year which injured
the sight of one of her eyes. We are sure
that no similar event haa caused more
general concern and sorrow.
The Murphy Bulletin says : "We are
to have another railroad, to run from
Murphy, via Ducktown and Cleveland,
to Chattanooga, Tenn. The importance
of this route cannot be overestimated, as
it will tap one of the richest portions of
our county. The incorporators " will
meet in Cleveland, Tenn., on the 12th
inst. for the purpose ol organizing the
company and electing necessary officers.
Speeches will ' be made by prominent
speakers. Let there be a rousing meet
ing." . '
The Blue Bidge Baptist eays r Hen

shall begin to have hope that "the dead
will rise from the grave."

The coroner's jury in the Finch mur

Sally Finch, two very old people, and
Ephraim Ellington,. a negro boy, who
were murdered on the morning of the
4th, of July last, came to their deaths at
the hands of Jerry Finch, Harriet Finth
and Lee Tyson, all negroes, and other
party or parties to the Jury unknown.
We mention this to show that the blood

sure, though the quarry is often after
wards snatched away from them". .
The row at a negro church in Waynes

in the Northern papers duly credited un

a fresh piece of news; and, ignoring alt o

Teaclterti ' Report of 'A J
A. G. S.for Four
The Asheville Kitchen Garden School
was opened Saturday, Feb. 7th, with
thirteen teachers and hve scholars. Dur
ing the four months of its existence, the.
school has steadily increased. In ere
have been but four sessions at which
candidates for admission -have not pres
ented themselves, and tbe total number
of scholars admitted, hasbeen forty four.
Several have dropped out of the ranks
for various reasons, Buch as illness, leav
ing AsheviDe, taking service, . etc., and
those in regular attendance now number
thirty-five, with an' average of twenty-
one. . While this average seems small in
comparison with . the - total number of
scholars, inquiry always edicts the fact
that the absent are detained by the par
ents, on account of illness, qr to assist
with house-work or care ' of younger
children. I; :r :-.;uv .i
Of the fifteen teachers,, only ten are in
active dutv. illness - or absent from the
city hiving prevented the attendance of
the remaining nve for a considerable
period.'"."" -'' ' ' "
In the eighteen sessions of the school,
the children have been taught what is
known as the "Wood Lesson" ; (compris
ing fire-making, the care of wooden uten
sils, the principals of scrubbing and tbe
proper way to remove stains and grease
from wood, etc., to fold towels, handker
chiefs, etc., for ironing, to set a breakfast
and tea-table and to, wash the dishes; to I
mane a Ded and to property attend to the
details of chamber-wdrk; to ,'prepareAa
room for sweeking and ta sweep, dust
and arrange it, and they are now learn
ing to set a dinner table and to wait on a
dinner of three courses. : -v. ifWf

The third, or "circle Hour lasting
thirty minutes, is given up to marching

to which forty minutes are given.
After a song, a simple lunch is served,
each class being waited on hy a child
appointed by tie teacher for the purpose.
, After a closing song, the school is dis
missed, the classes being usually detain

Chinese Remains,; Prepar
ed for shipment, Creating:
Excitement in San Fran-
v.ulri'hii rt.-.'i Cisco. IMtf zi-hrvVh
San Fbanciscq,. California, Sept 16.
The discovery yesterday afternoon of
the horrible practice of Chinese in pre
paring the bones or their, dead ieuow
country men for shipment to China, which
has been carried on under the very nose
of the city authorities, has created jdeep
and intense, excitement. The knowledge
that such a mass of- putrefactied waa ly
ing exposed in the, very heartof the city.
sewers or tne city are known to be in
filthy condition,, has created it feeling of
fear for the health ofthe city; .'After all
the boxes containing the remains of the
dead Chinese had been removed to the
moigue, the coroner was interviewed in
regard to : tbe niatterv ' He Stated "that
when he arrived at the cellar in.which
the bodies were stored and in which the
putrified remains which had still to be
boiled were lying, ; he set to work to
break open the boxes. There were some
60 bodies in all. Each box contained a
tin casein which,' carefully ..wrapped in
oil cloths.'were a number of human bod
ies. The smaller bones and. long, strips
of skin were wrapped up in separate par
cels and placed, witinn larger ones. : On
the outside of each box Was a label bear
ing Chinese characters, giving the nam
of the dead persons within, so that th
remains could be identified by! relatives
in China. ( After havinjf open d several
boxes the coroner concluded to seize the
whole lot and remove them to' the mor
gue. Express wagons were called for the
purpose. While cases were being placed
in the wagons, some of-them rolled off
and fell to the pavement, breaking open
and exposing the contents.1 The crowd
which had assembled upon learning the
cause of the excitement jumped on'the
bones and in theirindignation trod them
under foot. The police'immediately ihV
terpesed, .'and i.th loading .continued
without furthpr interruptioni' !Th.e ,rer
m ains : were : removed to Z the' morgue.
Most of the boxes containing the remains
were on examination. found; to have come
from cities in the interior States. The
remains were shipped from there to San
Fratciscoin common tea boxes. . ; Those
that came from the ,interiorar.bxiiled
and; prejedJfoi..l4lipment, so that
no odor is perceptaLTeTon th rodie, only
those- removed from San Francisco cem
eteries have flesh still on ) them when
brought for preparation to the cellar. It
-was the intention to have shipped all
those on the steamer City Perkin, which
sails Saturday nextL '; -'Itis rumored' that
the Chinese Six Companies will bring an
action ; against, the coroner for the re
moval of boxes and remains-'' " '
