He used violence, choking the lady until she yielded to his de mands for the clothes. He then mnde his way toward the Tennessee line. A large party gathered and went in pursuit, and it is hoped he will soon be caught. Injustice, and Correction. A statement is abroad that .Mr. Scott, one of the Penitentiary com missioners, has been sent to Hens dersonville to investigate alleged cruelty to convicts. We are inform ed on good authority that there "is no foundation for the" statement. Monthly visits of inspection to con vict quarters are regularly made by some one ol the commissioners; and Mr, bcott has simply taken his turn of duty. There is no allegation of cruelty; and the convicts are as well treated and contented as anybody of men could be under the circum stances. There is no force at Hen dersonville. The convicts on this section are at Tryon city. As Others See Us. We are very quick to catch up the flattering observations of visitors. It is so pleasant to hear commenda- ions of our scenery, of our health ulness, of our possession of the thou sand and one attractions, with not a single drawback. The reverse of the picture is not so pleasant, but we are not so thin-skinned as to wince . under truth when it is told, esDeciallv when the same truths are told here at home, and speak most pungently for themselves. ' A letter in the Morganton btar from a recent visitor is to the point "which nobody can deny." Let vo ters to day think of it, and provide the corrective for the nuisa nces spo ken of. - The writer says : Dust, Dust, dust! If you know of a dustier town than this, tell me where it is situated and I shall certainly try to keep as far distance as possible from it. The top of the ground here, to the depth of about two inches, is covered with soil powder, fine and light,. It seem harm less while you leave it undisturbed, but Bhonld you attempt to step, ride or drive through it heavy clouds will fill the air and your nostrils and lungs will ! be lin ed with the irritating atoms. How Ashe viile ever gained its present reputation as a health resort is a deep probrem to my mind, as l look on the whirling, silling everywhere-present dust Invalids are1 supposed to come here for the purpose of mnaiing tne pure and invigorating mountain air, but every breath meaas a nose-full of North Carolina ground.

Leaves this morning as delegate to the Grape Growers' Convention which meets to-day in Washington City. Our people have not become sufliciently interested in this subject. The benefits of grape culture seem so remote as not to interest the pres ent. Yet if properly considered and t;iken hold of, the great' future wealth of this mountain country may be made to consist i.i its vine yards. The vineyards of France and Italy are in the decrepitude of old age. Disease in various iorms has taken hold of them. Pure wine has becc-Tne an almost unattainable thing. Then to this i3 added duties which are almost prohibitory. The time was when pure Madeira wine was freely had in this country at two dollars a gallon. 1 here is no longer any pure Madeira wine. The vines on the Island are nearly all dead. But Madeira wine, so called, Is still (frankywhich costs six dollars or more a gallon. This is the natu ral country of the grape. The Ca tawba is a native. We -'will never make Madeira ot Sherry out of it. But we can make a good wine,pure, with some native characteristics, which mighs offend the taste of con noiseurs who fancy they are up in all the excellencies of European vin tages. though in fact they may be drinking the flavored concoctions of corn juice or Irish potatoes. We hope and believe ultimately, some good will come of the Grape Growers' Association here. But in terest in it must grow. Died, .

' Do the Jfleans Justify the - End ? . WHIKING, 'SICKLY SYCOPHANTS CRYING FOR GOVERNMENT PAP.. Special Correspondence Asheville Citizen . Washington, D. C, May 15, '86. Young men of North Carolina, if you expect tolaa an honor to your State and the community in which you live, don't come to Washington as beggars for office. It is a poor investment for the capital employed which is really your brains, talent and energy. If your nati ve genius fails you at home, don't expect that the Capiatl of your country will provide you a place, even though your Congressman is for you tooth and toe-nail. Believe me, he doesn't fcmoppt tcjauch hjye.C cej t as a whole in a party vote,,and has no more influence with the administra tion than you would have in trying- to blow back a western cyclone with a hand bellows traveling at the late oT 60 miles a second. Shun politics in your youth as you would a pestilential malarial swamp, and your old age will b3 a comfort and a blessing; but should you decide to enter the great army of ollice-scekerj in the hey-day of youth and succeed for a while, make suru vuu will be no better off twen ty years hence than when you first en tered the political arena. You will bo a political wreck sooner or later. It is only a question of time. Better a crust i f corn bread and cold bam at home working for the material wealth and development of your native State, than- baker's bread and canvass back duck away from home filling a petty governmental position. In the former place, you are liable to achieve a reputation (and of all fame that won at home is always the best) which you can leave as a legacy to those coming after you; in the latter position you soon go the way of tie great horde of office holders, falling ere you are aware of it, into the, deep vortex of oblivion, which has engulfed thousands far abler, shrewd er, and better than yourself. While in this city during the past week I here met several poor, dejected, disconsolate, disappointed, office-seekers from North Carolina young men at that, able-bodied and well educated, importu ning the North Carolina delegation for office and hanging around their Congress men;like young ducklings crying loudly and incessantly for government pap. It was a pitiful and sad sight. One of these youthful suDplicants for office had been in Washington since the first day of last January had spent all the cash he had brought with him. and $150 borrowed money from his dear old motner left alone at home, and no nearer the goal of of his dreams than when he first arrived. He looked Eeedy, thread bare and disappointed. No money, no friends, no sympathy and work than all, no off.ee. ;IIe was living on. odd meal a hvr ancfa slim one too at that. He look ed like a veritable June shad, while his manhood and youthful spirits were Jast leaving him. His old haunts knew him no more old friends ditto. His money had given out and he was left alone to pine over his adversities and lament the folly of his woe. buch indeed is the sad fate of many office-seekers. Sadly in debt, time lost, nothing ac complished, and hopes deferred, this young man was tramping around Wash ington with the hopes of getting a gov ernmental berth somewhere and at some time, but when and where he was unable like many others to tell. bat a sorry spectacle living between expectancy and doubt sponging on friends and relatives in order to work into a place which he might possibly hold for four yeais on a tolerably fair salary, and liable at any moment to be removed for a party worker. Is there anything more humiliating? Young man ot North Carolina, those of you who are hankering for office, re main at home, work out the salvation of your own State one of the grandest in the galaxy of all the commonwealths. Serve her in manly, honest work, either with your hands or with your head, give your perfect manhood in noble deeds and manly impulses, putting her forward in . material wealth and advancement. and then in after years you can look back with a certain degree of mental sat isfaction and pardonable pride, wherein you can well say, "I did my duty at home and served my State in the honorable role of a private useful citizen, in such work as advanced her in the mighty and glorious development of the grand sister hood ot States."

Fowle.died in Raleieh on Sat- urda' from tne effects of a gun shot wound received while on an excur sion in Johnstone county a few days previous. He was 19 years old. The Neics and Observer gives the follow ing explanation of the accidept : Mr. Fowle was holding the gun in his right hand, and having placed the butt against the bank was en deavoring to push the boat from the boat from the shore. This brousht the muzzle very near the breast. It would- appear that this is the correct version of the accident. The shots are thought to have ranged upward and rather outward. Mr. Fowle lost a great deal of blood ; at least a quart, it is said, and, and was so ex tremety weak therefrom that the physicans were afraid to make thorough examination of the wound or to do anything save to let their patient rest as easily as possi ble. The wound was not unban- daged. Inhere was some hemorrhage. TheCharlottft Observer says: With in the past few days information has reached ps which we deem reliable, that Col. H: B. Short, of Columbus county, will be a candidate ior Rep resentative in the Sixth Congress ional District, at the next election Auout ciusK last ivenins. as the usual tide of people began flow ing to the opera house, Bobbie Er- wm, a young son of Capt. John U. Erwin, was hurrying up town in tent on not being too late to get a front seat, when he brushed against a stranger who was going to the Carolina Central depot. On this slight provocation the stranger, who proved to be a young man about 25 vears of aze. flew into a Dassion and drawing a pistol, he cocked the weapon and presented it at the lad, at the same time uttering the most abusive oaths. The little boy was of course badly frightened, but oth er parties who witnessed the scene hastened up town and informed the police of the occurrence. Sergeant jetton and officer Hunter secured a carriage and driving to the depot arrested the man, relieved him of his pistol, and locked him up to await a hearing before the mayor this morning.
