An exchange says: "The tide of immigration from foreign countries to America shows a great increase this year over that of 18&." The time was wht n the rapid in flux of foreigners might have been well; the time has come when it is a threatening evil. Our children and grand children those of foreign Birth Or descent as well as native Americans will realize the evils which the present so alarmingly threaten. . Our young friend J. R. Thomas, Esq.. of, Jackson, is in the city. Mr. Thomas was a candidate before his people last full for a seat in the leg islature, and made a most vigorous, straight, democratic canvass. The Citizen, in publishing the returns. stated that Mr. T. tectived 42 voies in bin county, whereas he received nearly 200. Local issues and a number of candidates so divided people, luiwever, that a republican a very good cltize, barring his re publicanism was chosen in the strong democratic county of old Jackson. The Spartanbuig Herald says: The prospect of the continuance ofthe Narrow Guage Railroad to Greenville seems assured,, and its early completion 13 the west seems very promising. SSusoiig & Co. have signed a contract, fully secured, to take tbe work already dne, assume all the liabilities ' and build and equip it by January 1, 1S89 " The Citizen baa already, alluded to the above, and have, stated on the autuority oi Col.

Pratt & Mclntyre in their fine meat market' supplying everything in the way of inea.ts in perfection, of course have created an active demand for everything they furnish. Nothing is more Sought after than their excellent sausages. Hand work was too slow to meet the wants of a needy public; so, yesterday they put steam to work to help them out. They have put up a two horse pow er engine, the work of R. W. Paine & Son of New York. That sets in motion a grindrir which iapidly makes mince moat of the disjecta membra of the unfortunate- ptyrker that falls within its remorseless jaws. 1 lie engine is a vertical one, woikswithm a small space, and mak. s as little noise as a baby's cradle ; not a tithe as much as the sewing machines which c!atter in every household, i f his is the first aDDhcatijn ol steam to such- piirposca that we anow oi in una pj(te; Jtna lla.en terprise is worthy of till couTiteudu lion. .

Farmer has transferred the bird (not 'of evil omen") that-formerly welcomed the hungry traveller to the Eagle Hotel in Asheville, to a lofty perch in front of the Eagle Drug Store. I do notthihk that any little town in the West carl boast of business hotu s whose financiat status is firmer than that of those in this town. Bui, dear Citizbx, tell us, notwithstanding their financial responsibility, how can they or .we, or any of us or any body else succeed, when we have to "drag our wagons up the Southern slope of the bills from hero to your citv, through mud ;'huh-deep" - and skate at break-neck speed o vtr the ice that covers the North ern slope' to get our good here ? Tbe day fo: moralizing on railroads has past. The Gieat West was made great by railroads. Tbe Solid South is to be made great by railroads. Even here in our immediate section, we have seen towns, aa if by magic, spring forth into cities; unpretentious hamlets become centers of business, sparse settlements become closely compacted neighborhoods i tue log-camn, more poetic, man com fortable, supplanted by the neat cottage all .this too in sections not half so inviting'' as ouib. Pluck, energy and business sagacity can transform a barren wasta into a garden. But indifference, supine indifference, can make even the lovely valllea of the French Broad and Mills River uninviting to enterprising, stirring men.. God gave us, with lavish hands, many and varied - natural attractions.- He gave ns an excellent road-way. He. made us intelligent beings, but did not and never will build u i a railroad. Transj Ivania, Mills River and Avery Creek, thou steepest, awake and see thy self arouse from your lethargic slumb ers, and realize that this is yoar golden opportunity.
