" A coantry friend a few days since en deavored to purchase an organ from one of our dealers, but was wanting a small balance with which to succeed in making the trade. After several fruitless efforts to raise the needed amount he approach ed a second party on Court Square and offered to trade pants with bim tor boot sufficient to cover his immediate want?. The party approached could not see the matter in the light desired, or did not desire to so publicly disrobe, and onr young friend was compelled to return home and listen for awhile longer to the croaking of the frogs rather than to the melodious notes of the desired organ. Mr. Norwood, a prominent tobac conist of Virginia, has been in our city the past day or two looking at our tobacco market.

Editors Citizen, AahevilleGenOemen; ; : s -. " '- I have just read your article relative to information .received, in regard to the virtuea of the rabbit foot a3 an indicator, &C.&C I una little surprised at this, especially, when gentlemen of your ex tensive inforaatioo on all great sabjejtsj should hive missed this when at colleger. In addition to what yoii bsva ;ga?ned from our friend, Mr; Johnsoa, it may not be improper to give yo:i 'additional evi dence'as W the many, virtues of the rab bit foot. From the great want of knowl edge displayed pn then! jeet, I l.cpe H mav not startle vouf nrfeen Xtell you that Htct righ i fore foot of tt e cbmrnon North Carolina hare, when greased thorougluy with the oil or fat of the 'Opossum, then placed in a-buck skin sack, or pouch, and placed under your pillow, before you re tire to rest, will be the means of making you dream pleasantly during its stay un der your head. 'Tis so, and had my platform, or rather one plank in it, to wit, compulsory education, been adopted as it should have been long since, all such valuable information would have been in use for years. Last evening,-feeling that I would like to have a pleasant, dreamv night, I got out idt old rabbit foot, saturated it well in 'opossum grease, placed it in the buck skin sack, read my bible, said my prayers and got in 'bed: And such a dream as 1 had! I dreamed that the Board - of Trade of the city of Asheville, had met, and unan imously agreed, to petition the County Commissioners to levy a tax to build macadamized roads over every public thoroughfare leading into ths city, that the request, or suggestion hadjbeen adop ted, the road built, and pedestrians could hardly cross the streets, blockaded as they were, with vehicles of all kinds, la dened with the products of the farmer, who had come to exchange them for the goods of the merchant My heart, I know, leaped for joy . I dreamed that the people of your city had adopted the suggestions ofDi.Gatch eli and other brainy men of Asheville, and light, pure water, freedom from dis ease, had all been procured by voting for the appropriation asked for. I fur ther dreamed that the County Commis sioners and Magistrates, by invitation of the worthy chairman of the Board, had met in the court house, in Asheville, and in one short day, ordered that a ince be built around" the entire county, except Black Mountain, showing that they dis carded the howling of politicians, . but knowing the wishes of the people, adopt ed the stock law. I further . dreamed that Bawl, Blarney, Blowhard, Bluff, Bragg and Blatherskite.all declared them selves candidates for tha legislature against the stock law, the erection had been;held, and they were beaten to death. I dreamed that the street cars were run ning from the Fair Grounds to the foot of Beaucatcher, also from Asheville J unc tion to the JSorth west part of the city. That the Johnston corner had been sold for thirty thousand dollars. A large lour story brick house nad Deen built on it. Further that the money for which the tax payers of Buncombe bad paid to build a bridge at Gudger's ford, on the swannanoa, nad been round, snuclr put away, for said purpose taken out, and a fine bridge built, enabling as it does travellers, jurymen, farmers, and all to cross, though the old and dangerous ford be blocked with eight inch ica for nine days. Farther that a plain though comfortable tshed had been built on poor man's tot" near -the court house where the humble wood seller whilst awaiting a customer, could flee from the merciless storm. 1 coald see the angels writing on the, credit side of the account of his Honor your noble Mayor for aid ing heart and purse, in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and giving fuel to those who -unable, to buy, were suffering from cold. ' I could see the executive committee of the Fair Association, with heavy purse, made by donations from the merchants, and business men, hunting mechanics to improve the buildings oisaic association thereby proving that Asheville is too proud, and understands her interests too well, to allow any retrognade movement in her city. I dreamed that our Fair week had arrived, the frosts of October had but changed the color of the loliage, the beautiful brown Irimmed . with green, the crimson shaded with orange, n lxed with all the exquisite tints oi na ture's handiwork caused as it is by the departure of snmmer, and arrival of lall, was a sight that angels might enjoy; this magnificent scene in all its grandeur can be enjoyed onlv in this lovely land of ours truly the "Land ol the Sky." At our Fair I could see tl e farmer meet his brother f armer, the -boy his sweet heart, the husband watching with jeal ous eye the success of the handiwork of his wife, daughter, or Eon, who had brought articles to fairly compete with others, for the prizes on such occasions given, and show that he aDd they were proud of th?s land of ours, : that, a kind and merciful God had placed us in, to love and enjoy, but not abuse. I could plainly see the thousands of visitors Ironi ; Tennessee, couth Carolina, and other States. The committee all hard at work. The stock all in fine condition, in fact every thing breathing an air ol prosperity and success. 1 he good people when the bell announcing that the colts were about ready to show that thorough breds were better for all purposes than scrubs, would come to the front of .the stand, and calmly survey the scene, not hiding behind a tierce of tobacco ot a pumpkin, thinking it sinful to see what improvement ,was being made in one of God's greatest gifts to man, the noble horse. I do not exactly remember one Fart of my dream, but think it waa that had once in my life attended an animal show to which was attached a circus after seeing all the animals I did not feel badly disgraced, when I found myself under the same tent where the clown was chief, to many of whose laughable rem arks was attached a moral. . I dreamed that I could hear men denouncing agri cultural fairs, on account of gentlemen who admire the horse,.seeing which One of five or six young steers would come to a given point- first. I did dream that an order was made in high heaven that crowns of gold be made ready, to be plac ed on the beads of that noble band of noble women, knows in Asheville as the "Flower . Mission.".; ; The angels - who hover round the poor widow.and orphan children, and witnessed the work pf this heavenly - body I rmay aay, flewwitb wings of speed lo see that such work on earth, should be and of right ought to be, recorded in hea v . . I further diw:. 1 the city had been 1. 1 recognized as the r - . leader of the pe I COUld EC 8 OH i - polico aa any city c m as polite as a French uu terfield in manners, a? Csesarwith a charact human can enjoy. I dreamed that II?. ' ed North, South, Ea t : center of the city, for 1 hat the ress of y .sustained and ter .of good, and tsasan efficient . oast of. Its chief .a, a perfect Ches- brave as Julius r,as" good as any ' i of brick extend 1 West from the li aadreds of yards. and architects were the same.

I could se rr i of vbrains, filling the most noble caUks of. man.- that ot pointing poor fallen man to eternal life beyond the grave. I could Bee them, where poor, frail, human nature ; was surrendering to eo :.:) v(ce, take the2 vi( tiajs kindly by . the .band, and speak poms word tht wouhjLperhaps. change living atets.' -1 could see -i hem takiag the poor orphan child to the nnrserv of the Church, the Sabbath School, that they too might he taught 'the many proimees made by our Creator, l coulj see angels looking down from Heaven on such works, and hear them exclaim, "really you are embassadors of Christ, tor you haye .dried up tears bt the widow youhave been kind to to the orphan, you have given of your mean3 to the poor and unlortunate.! vv hen l call you burn er, a crown will be your reward, besides eternal life. Just at this time when all was really buss, irom some cause l . was a wakened, and how sad I was.' It was but a dream. I removed the rabbit foot from my pillow, and slept quietly the remainder of the "night. When I feel like again vi iiting dreamland, I shall re sort to my friend, and should anything come ol it, i win Jet you hear ironi me. Yonra, lvABBIT FOOT. -' P. S. l.have lorgotten to relate apart of m; dream that" 1 lunst let you hear. I dreamed there were about eight or ten croakers, grumblers and demafognes, who are always cryiDg Tax, Tax, Tax, that died in the early part of my dream, or what transpired afterwwds never would have taken place. People who expect to Ihave a cit3 can never do so without cost. It takes money "to build water works, have electric lights, street railways, and first-class newspapers. Atlanta would have never reached the glory she enjoys, had it not been for her paper, the Constitution. Support your press. Give it real aid, and the predic tion of that Prince of learning and pro- gressiveness Dr. Gatcheli will - be attain ed. I dislike to see any of my friends dis satisfied, and do most respectfully Sug gest to those who are opposed to - voting appropriations that will make Asheville what she will be, if aid be given, to come to the country- here you caa usa piue knots iustead of electric lights, for the water works you can use our most excel lent springs as to sewerage we have plenty. Yon can also substitute copperaa breeches for your cassi mere, wool hats for your " beaters, andtheikne -m-iBS in trying to write and vote your city down, you can be more profitably employed ploughing, thereby making yourself a producer, instead of a consumer. You may ask what I have to do with it ? In answer I will say I have very much to do with it. It any country town is built up, I make a bette r market for my produce, and just at home there; are forty good reasons why a country farmer as 1 am should desire to eee Asheville built up, but I have already trespassed too much on your kindness. I will add that croak ers, grumblers, &c, &c, say Danville Ha better Tobacco juarket than Asheville; read the report of Mr. Holmes the excel lent secretary of the Asheville Tobacco Association, also the report of the Dan ville Association, aod if there is any way in the world of satisfying you, you, must surrender. Let the business men of Asheville, and the farmers of Buncombe county join hands, and we can make Asheville in ten yeari a place of forty thousand inhabitants, and not an acre of land in four miles of it can be bought for one hundred dollar?. Let us do as Atlanta, Ga., dos, when any ad van tag-! eous scheme is presented, put our shoul der lo the wheel, and say now my broth er, shoulder to shoulder, forward, on ward, upward; growlers, grumblars and anti-tax men, have never been Known to build churches, school houses, railroads, hotels, water works, "electric ligh s or anything of the sort.

Bacx at-his Old Stand. ' Mr. Johntraith has again taken pos session of the old Buttrick buildings and shops at West End, and put up bis ma chinery for the manufacture of brooms, brushep. &c, Ac, every thing usually made in such a factory. TheCrrizejr has alluded before to the very excellent quality of the goods manufactured by this house, and when they will sell them to merchants at northern wholesale prices, simply adding freight, we hope the merchants of Aslieville and Western Carolina will sustain them. It is to the direct interest of our people to sustain such industries. If Mr. 8. can get proper encouragement he will soon have from twelve to sixteen workmen employed, who with their families would make a good means of circulating currency among our merchants and farmers It will make lrom twenty-five to hfty dol lars per day put in circulation by this in stitution alone, besides the capital inves ted in the enterprise. It is certainly worth fostering. We wish we had a thousand just such in Asheville to-dav. In this connection we again remind our farmers of the profit there is in the cultivation of the broom-corn. Suppose a number of them try from a-half to one acre each this year and see what there is in it. Any one desiring to do so can call on zir. btraith at nis iactory on the Avenue and he will take pleasure in giv ing all information concerning the cul ture of the broom-cora. Let us diversify our industries and farming efforts. It is a way to build up a country or city.? ASHEVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.

A friend, in speaking of conta gious diseases, calls attention to an important feature, which should be borne in mind, and we publish this for general information. Says the writer: take scarlet fever for instance. This disease is one of the most com municable of all diseases, .and be- cause it may be mild in onecase, it is not safe to conclude that con tact with it may not result serious ly. The disease is never sp readily communicated as by a convalescent patient. When the skin is peeling off i3 the most dangerous time. This does not usually happen till the pa tient is up'and about.. It is now the usage in Great Britain to practical ly quarantine a sufferer from . scar let lever for three months r after his recovery. The "same danger attends most contagious diseases ' Tobacco from Graham County. Mr. W.H. Jenkins brought a lot of tob.icco to ihe .Buncombe Ware house yesterday j the first -of which we b.ve iaformatiou as haying been shipped lrom that county. ' It illus trates the fact of the addition of an other, county to the "Western tobac co beltrahd also the utility of the new wilroad extension, the tobacco J being shipped froni Jarratts, at the head of the road, up the Nantahala, 102 miles west of.

Albert Piko, now considera bly over seventy, Mives quietly : in Washington, somewhat ' infirm and occasionally suffering lrem gout, but his mind is still clear and his mem ory andappetite are good. : A receiver ha been appointed to take charge of the police funds of Chattanooga bv the courts..: It is thoueht it hat this will result in the overthrow of the pres ent city charter, - - ?, The new Morrison iarifiVreduc tion-bill is "giving but little satis fac tion. ' Free trade journals we' beg pardon "tariff v reform" journals like the Charleston News & Courier.. and the Wilmington ritar prefer no alteration of the present tariff to the passage of the latest -venture of the great reformer. Mr. Morrison says his bill will reduce the tariff rev-? enues about $20,000,000, one half cf which'.j8 on sugar, one fourth' on raw materials; the other fourth on other goods, thus three fourths of the reduction being upon the di rect products of on own laborers, while .the really protected manufac turers are but slightly touched.. The American Tucdrstrf lueibar and of ores and ratalsl rW,f6f idUgarj Which constitute the bulk of the ar ticles embraced in Mr..': Morrison 's new bill, will not consent readily to being thus discriminated against, whiTe the very large bulk of the manufacturers which enter into dai ly consumption, but which have en joyed protection to the extent of adding millions to their own ers' pockets and" but little to gov ernment revenues go untouch ed or practically so. One-half of Mr. Morrison's proposed reduc tion falls upon sugar. Only one eighth of the sugar consumed in the union is produced within the States, and that in the south, the remain ing seven-eighths is imported, and therefore pays a direct tax to the government. The go eminent rev enue must be cut down, while the real burden inflicted by the pres ent tariff to benefit American manufactures mostly ia the North; which giAcs but little " revenue to the government, is allowed to re main untouched. We fear the peo ple will not realize much relief by the new bill, while some very im portant Southern agricultural in dustries will be very seriously if not fatally injured. " Tariff reform and equalization is needed, for, first, be cause it is right that it should be done as a matter of principle and justice; s&c-.mJ, to induce more rev- enueby lowering duties '.on imports and at the "same time reduce taxation by way of excessive boun ties to home manufacturers; but Mr. Morrison's latest effort is too one-sided, and while it may give some" relief to an over burdened treasury fails essentially to give re lief to our own lax pa.ye;s by reducing bounties alluded to, per mitted nnrkr the present luw We have seen what MrJ" Morrison can do, after two Jub6i iou3 efforts; suppose our friend Mi.
