A Stolen Horse Recovered.
On Tuesday night Mr. A. M. Brown,
an old citizen of Big Ivy, had a valuable
hone in the stables of the Banner Ware
house. About 9 o'clock at night Mr.
Brown went out to see about his horse
and found that he was not in the stall
He searched for him several hours and
again next morning, but could find no
thing of him, and walked back home, a
good distance for so aged a man. During
Wednesday morning Mr. I. S. Wilcox
found a loose horse near his stables, with
only a halter on, but bearing evidence of
bavinz been ridden hard, tie put him
in his stables, and advertised the fact in
the Citizen. Yesterday Mr. Brown,
having seen the advertisement, came into
town, recognized tbe horse as his, paid
damages, and returned noma a nappier
man.
Tbe moral of this fact is that a sharp
lookout should be placed on their horses
at night by our citizens.
The Buncombe County Stock Law in
the Senate.
The present status of the Jques-
tion of the Buncombe county
Stock Law before the State Senate is in
the main as follows: The Committee on
Propositions and Grievances, by a vote
of 6 to a, (the latter being Terrell and
Taylor, reps.,) reported adversely to the
Pearson Repeal bill, H. B. 21, and on
Monday of last week the question came
before the Senate on second reading. In
meantime a substitute was introduced
amending in certain material points and
denned lines the stock law bill passed
two years ago. Both the Pearson bill
and the substitute were referred back to
the committee. On Wednesday this
committee reported to the Senate advis
ins the passace of the substitute. Messrs.
Taylor and Terrell dissenting from the
majority report. Up to yesterday the
senate had not further considered the
question, but the opinion of thosa ac
quainted with legislation, and who
know the sentiment of the Senate, be
lieve the substitute will be adopted" over
me repeal Din.
The Citizen a few days since, re
ferring to the efforts to relegate the
State of North Carolina back to the
"good old days of robber rule and
good stealing," was made to say so
ber rule and good standing. No
such role or standing existed dure
ing the days of Radical rale in the
State.

The New Plan for Coast
Defence.
General bliendan explains bi
length the plan for defending our
coast with sunken forts from which
the heaviest ordinance can be used
with but little risk to the gunners,
as the pieces are lowered under
ground the moment after firing.
There have been many designs for
such defensive works, but the seria
ous part of it is that it takes so long
to construct them, and Congress is
so slow in taking the proper steps.
It is almost iarcical that such a
great country should all this time
be lying at the mercy ot any third-(
class power that happens to possess
even a second-class navy, and should
take a fancy to make war on us.
General Sheridan explains at length
that he gets the idea ironi the un
derground monitors he built on the
plains to defend the stage stations
before the racifac railroad was built:
"and ever since the successful use c T
those defensive pits," continued
General Sheridan, "I have been op-
nosed to putting up marks whicn
can be fired at, such as iron turrets
and heavy works generally, for these
cost a great deal of money, and sim
ply make targets for an enemy's
artillery. The true way, I believe;
is to conceal your guns and your
men, for, what is important, this
can be done cheaply and quickly."

Esmeralda.
The performance last evening of Mrs.
Burnett's charming play, "Esmeralda,"
proved a delight to the audience and won
new laurels for the A she ville "Amateurs."
The little drama bears especial signifi
cance for all Western North Carolinians,
having the scene laid "under the shadow
ol old Baldy."
The cast was as follows :
The "Lydia Ann" of Mrs. Hcrrlck a
role of much difficulty was most de
lightfully vivid, portraying as it did
"Mother's high spirit" with a fire and
vigor which would have done credit to a
professional of the Madison Square The
atre, and which never faltered from the
moment in which she separates her
daughter from "Dave," whom she has
"known so long," until the scene at the
end where she utterly refuses to acknowl
edge herself overcome and "always knew
there was something wrong with the
'Marquis anyhow."
Mr. Child, as "Old Man Rogers," gave
a pathetic, simple and beautiful concep
tion of a very beautiful and exceedingly
difficult part" f"Tt would Tie hard to find
anywhere an amateur to whom this role
could have been as safely entrusted.
"Esmeralda" (played by Miss Dora
Newton) was a most perfect creation ; we
we:e charmed with her on her first en
trance "without the corn for supper," but
our enthusiasm and that of the entire
audience knew no bounds when in the
3rd act she defies her mother and vows
to follow Dave "if it is on foot and I go a
thousand miles." The tableau with
which the act closes was x misi e, Es-
mereioa, in her superb dress, falls full
length, fainting, while the "Old Man,"
leaningover his darling, waves back Mrs.
Rogers, and his voice, broken with erief.
says: "Stand back, Lydia Ann, 'taint
iur you to teen her now : seems like she's
gone back to North Caliny in spite of ye."
aoo mucn praise cannot be given Mr.
Ernest Price for his rendition of the dou
ble role, "Drew" and tho "Marquis." In
the first he is the keen business man. in
tent on making a "good bargain." In the
second we find him completely trans-
lormed into the unscrupulous, supercili
ous manof the world. His French accent
was remarkably well done and his acting
throughout was polished, graceful and
without a fault.
The charming, easy nonchalance of Dr.
Battle's ''Desmond" brought out the
highest appreciation of the audience ; he
was especially delightful in the dialogue
with "Nora" in the third act.
We hear rumors of other nerformancfiR
to follow this : it is to be honed that in
another play the Doctor will have a role
of greater difficulty than the simple one
of Jack, and therefore one more calcu
lated to do justice to his very unusual
talent.
"Dave Hardy," (the lover') as DlaveH
by Mr. Herbert Price, evinced careful
sludy and a thorough understanding!
of the part; he was exceedingly
good in a solilogeny in the first act
sttuipfo1 otfwW teyMtf $5
in the 19th Century do not make a prac
tice of standing around talking in empha
tic tones, with only themselves for aud
ience, the little stage business of whittl
ing the stick -and dropping in a moment
of excitement was very effective. The
Kate of Mrs. A. J. Lyman "took" re
markably with the audience; her rendi
tion of the role was spirited and bright,
and she won enough applause to have
thoroughly elated an "old stager."
Mrs. Theodore Bewedick Lyman as
"Nora" displayed talent in three scenes
that with "Jack" in "Rogers'" drawing
room, during tbe ball; with "Estabrook"
in the same act, and the love scene with
him in the closing act in the studio. We
are compelled to state in all fairness of
spirit that considering the former experi
ence of Mrs. Lyman in this role, she by
no means came np to our expectation of
the way she should render it
"Estabrook" (Mr. Gale) was easy, con
sistent and delightful throughout the
play. Mr. Gale is as entirely free from
any affectations or "staginess" (a thing
so distinctly objectionable in amateurs)
as any amateur we have ever, or could
wish to see.
Mr. T. B. Lyman was stage manager
and director, and the smoothness and
freedom from mishaps (so painfully
characteristic of amateur theatricals)
with which the performance was produc
ed, we beg to state was due to the 'man
agement." The stage setting was all good
the studio scene was wonderfully
pretty, etc.
we are requested by the "trjupe" to
express many thanks to the Asheville
Band, which formed no small part of the
delightful evening for "Sweet Charity's"
sake.
