published, and will give to Ashe

An Official Census to be Taken
of Asheville Together With
Numbering the Houses by the
Southern Directory Company. :
At a meeting of the Board of Alv
dermen last Friday night the con
tract was awarded the Southern Di
rectory Company for taking a com
plete census of the city and num
bering the houses. This was dorje
by the honorable Board in compli
ance with the expressed desiret oi
our busiuess men and citizens,. with
the sanction of their own Jgood
judgment and i,eet3 with hearty
approval on every band. J he oth
cial railway guide books of the
north and west give Asheville a
population of 2,61tj, according to the
last census of 1880, or about one
third of its present population.
The official census will correct
these wrong impressions abroad,
and give a correctly compiled
census, published in the valuble Di
rectory Company are getting out for
this city.
The numbering of the houses is a
work of no less importance to the
city and will prove a convenience
which would in a short time have
been a necessity, and this company
do this work for less than half the
same would cost - the city to have
the work done separately ,and when
the population is larger. Hereto
fore, it has been almost impossible
for the thousands of annual visitors
to find their way about the city, but
this enterprise will entirely do away
with such difficulties.
A large photo-lithograph map
will be placed in the front of their
book, together with a most accurate
and complete street directory. The
body of the book will contain the
name, color occupation, residence,
place of business, number, married
or single, over or under 20 years of
age and the streets and crossings
near the residence of every individ
ual in the city. It will also con
tain a neat card or advertisement
from nearly every business or pro
fessional man, and larger displays
on inset colored pages from large
business firms. -
- This is an enterprise that will be
of almost incalculablevalue to Ashe
ville, and we are glad to know it is
meeting with such - successful en
couragement. "'

A Sihange Character.
The following from the pen of Col. A.
T. Davidson treats of a singular case.
Says CoL D :
"In the Fall of the year 1877 I waj at
Murphy Court, county of Cherokee,
Judge Furchcs presiding. A man by the
name of Terry Shclton was indicted and
charged with the murder of Thomas
Shelton (his brothejr.) I appeared for
the prisoner. The tfceeased was shot in
the forehead with a urge ball, discharged
from an army pistol, died instantly.
There were but the two brothers, and
the defence was put upon the ground of
accident. There were was much testi
mony by the State as to the manner oi
killing, motives, Ace, and much by the
prisoner to show the want ot motive, and
that the killing was purely accidental.
The only witness to the transaction
was the mother of the two boys. While
she was greatly affected, and seemed tobe
laboring under great affliction, her tes
timony showed clearly that the transac
tion was accidental; or at least left the
matter in such doubt that after a labored
and pains-taking trial, the prisoner was
acquitted.
The prisoner was then a young man ,
near six feet four inches high,' with a
striking face, rather Roman nose, a flow
ing and healthy growth of hair, which
had been carefully kept during his im -
prisonment; and seemed then to be the
pride of his person. During the trial he
was self-possessed, woue not callous or
indifferent, he demeaned himself as a
man of self-possession and nerve; he was
always clean in his dress, and entirely
submissive to the direction and control
of his counsel.
He was acquitted, and while his friends
in the Court room were congratulating
each other, the counsel and prisoner, he
seemed to be without feeling or emotion.
On motion of his counsel he was dis
charged without day. -
l have never seen him since until this
morning, and ohl how changed. He is
without hair or beard, without oyebrow
or lash, entirely smooth; his skin and
tlesh as tender as a baby s, ms neaitn is
good, and as a rule he 'demeans himself
as a sober and quiet man..
I learn that, without mental or pnysi
cat suffering, his hair began to drop off
within six months, and without any
physical or chronic disorder he is in bis
present condition. "
Queries: Is this & incase of physical
disorder, or a casaW Troyidential visi .
tation to mark rum as tne siayer oi nis
brother. I leave these questions for the
Scientists and Theologians.

SOMETHING HE FORGOT.
.' When Mr. Jenkins went to his bed
room at half-past one. it was with the
determination of going to sleep, and with
another determination that he would not
be interviewed by Mrs. Jenkins. So, as
soon as he had entered the door, and de
posited his lamp npon the dressing-tab'.e,
he commenced his speech :
"I locked the front door.' I put the
chain on. 1 pulled the key out a little
bit The dog is inside. ' I put the kitten
out I emptied tbe drip-pan of the re
frigator. The cook took the silver to bed
with her. I put a cane under the knob
of the back-hall door. . I put the fasten
ings over tbe bath-room windows. The
parlor nre has coal on. I did not drink
all the milk. Ir is not going -to rain.
Nobody gave me any message for you. I
maued your letters as soon hs 1 got down
town. Yom mother did not call at the
office. Nobody died that we are interes
ted in. Did not hear of a marriage or
engagement I was very busy at the of
fice making out bills. I have hung my
c'.othes over chair-backs. I want a new
egg for breakfast. I think, that is all,
and I will now put oat the light."
Mr. Jenkins felt that be had bedeed
against all inquiry, and a triumphant
smile was upon his face as he took hold
of the gas-check, and sighted a line for
the bed, when he watf earthquaked bv
ringing laugn, and tne query from Mis.
Jenkins:'
"Why didn't you take off vour bat? "
