Our other hotels are doing equally as well, and every day adds to the. number of guests. If two more such hotels as Battery Park could be erected in Asheville by next winter, we believe all would be filled by those who have hereto fore wintered further south. Our climate and scenery are far more health-giving and attractive than other points south of us can offer. Let ample accommodations be pro vided, and. the vLi tors will come. Instead of having only five or six thousand people to come during the winter, as now, we ought to have, and can have, from forty to nfty thousand. Let our capitalists bestir themselves, and keep up with the demands of the times. "Thb Coming Boom." The following very timely article in the last Hendersonville Times is o important that wo reproduce it, for the benefit of our own county and other counties in Western Carolina. We hope our farmers will heed the very useful sugges tions of our coteuipvrarv. The Time says : - -' i Our Asheville cotemsoraries are becoming lavish in their notices of the growing importance of the gold discoveries on Boilston cceek, in this county, as one among the prin ciple factors in the future prosperi ty and development oi this moun tain section, and in opinion we ara-l not far behind them, although somewhat reluctant to make our opinions public. . That this mountain country is on the one of a most wonderful pros perity, and that Henderson county will receive its justly merited share, we firmly believe; and in view of this, we feel it our duty to put our readers on their guard, so that they as well as others, may reap the ben efits of an unexpected rush to our country. What does a "boom mean r. it means a sudden rise in values a sudden influx of strangers bent on speculation a sudden demand for provision, oiten at exorbitant prices, with which to feed the hun gry multitude. It means wealth to those who have a surplusf whether that surplus, be capital or labor. lands or farm products; but poverty to those who idly sit and - wait for money to become more plentiful. . The duty of our farmer friends is plain. If you would receive a part of the gold produced at the Boilston mines raise something to sell. Money will never come to you iwXEhout something to' bring it. No matter what that "something" is, you will be none the losers even if the boom fails to reach us the present season. ETery.dollrr which, you arrest here fot Ijome-riiseii prod use is a-dollar added to the material wealth of the county, while the money sent U for eign markets is lost to us forever;; . We nave no authority to mention names, but are credibly informed that before the summer is out the present Boilston Mining Company will add largely to their machinery and be- empoying- three hundred hands! -.What does this mean? .-It means three hundred, families to feed at least one thou-and people to clothe three hundred families to shelter ; and who is prepared to help? Add to this a new company now formed and about to open an other mine, on Boilston. and you have but a faint id' a of the work to be done by the farmers of tbi- coun ty if they would keep the gold at home. -. , This county scarcely . feeds its present polulatiun. Farmers, go to work, raise" a surplus, and thus be prepared to receive the benefit o! "the coming boom." - : f Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla In the spring of the year to purify the blood, invigor: ate the system, excite the liver to action -and restore the healthy tone and; visor of the whole physical mechanism.' t2o Gj to Turner's restaurant for oys ters on the shell the first LynnHa- van m'mrt r tlita morlraBi t .

This Is trne in part, an yt it is a gen eralization calculated to do injustice to the place. fThere aru several hotels here, all of good character, but varyiagin their sty 1 e of eq u ipiuen t. - Th e 11 Battery Park and tbe Swannanoa hotel.', for instance are built with great cost, and equipped in the most advanced idiizs of modern requirements. .Their charges toay reach, in some instance the highest figures stat ed by theiixp. . 'iera is the Grand Cen tral ,".largft-.. coaiuiodiousirt excellently furnished, with a bountiful and ex. elient table, which lays uo claim to sryle, but which meets every demand of comfort and convenience, lu this, the charges do not exceed $40 per month, and range from $30 to $-10. TliH.ee charges are the rule here, with the exception of t-e two first named. This cannot be -called "steep" considering the character of the service rendered.. We do not know how these charges compare with those of Wilmington, now; but we do remember when the Purcell House charged from $3 to $4 a day which surpassed, in the latter figure, the highest charges for which the Asheville hotels are rebuked. ' We are reminded in connection with this hotel of oxrerien;j ot the late Judge Cloud.. Thif2ilain, bouent, unsophistica ted worthy, went to Wilmington to hold the term of the New Hanover - Superior Court, and made his headquarters at the Purcell. Used to comfort at home in his plain style, plenty of room, and unlimit ed fuel, tie demanded ample room arid comfort. He was fully gratified, lie was allotted two rooms, one a sleeping apartment, the other a sitting room, and he had roaring fires in each room; and all went smoothly until the day of reckoning came. Then the astonished rage of the Tudge krew no bounds. The charge was $4 a day for each room, and fifty cents ;xtra for every fije made. The atmosphere .of the Purcell -was sulphur ous for a month afterwards.'

We select theS following opinions of various prominent journals relative to Miss Stanley : , The Philadelphia Times says: Miss Carrie Stanley acted powerfully, looked charming and dressed handsomely. "Her grace an i powerful voice have never been excelled, and she is a valuable acquisition to the company. , . The New, York : Clipptr says: Miss Carrie Stanley appeared before the larg est houses we have seen this season. She is a great favorite and always draws well, and as an actress has no superior. " ' ine uiean (jNew York) lima savs: Miss Carrie Stanley as an emotional actress is truly" graud, but as a soubrette she is bewitching, as a 'tragedienne powerful and superb, and has bat few if any equals Mr. Chaa.

Wilmixgtoji Flora . Is the title of a pamphlet, for a copy of wh:clv we aie indebted to one of tbe anthora, Dr. , Thomas F. ,Wood.' Mr.- Gerald McCarty was united with him ia the preparation of the work' intended to illustrate the flora of the lower Cape Fesr. It is pleasing" and interesting to note the progress in .the botanical knowledge relating to ay -part .of North Carolina. That relating to the portion treated of in this pamphlet has had several zealous and competent observers chief among whom was the Rev. M. A. CurtN-, D. D., who in 1832 publiaLed an enuu.b .. or the plants growing around Wiluniit i irom Eqowledge gained by personal investigation. Most fortanately, Dr Wood comes in with his zea and scien tific attainment to complete what Dr. Curtis miy have left incomplete. The writer of this has had personal exper ience of the fitness of Dr. Wood, having accompanied him on various rambles through woods and savannahs, returning ncn witn tne spoils or new and rare plants and flowers. We remember giv ing to Dr. Wood the finest specimen he had ever seen of the Stuartiae Virainica. It was given to us by Mr. William Wat- ters, who broke a brancch from the shrab which bore it in Brunswick county, eight miles West from Wilmington, ignorant. as were all who saw it, at the time, of its name and character. It was subsequently classified by Dr. Wood, and we had the pleasure to learn the botanical name it has no common name of a flower so rare and beautiful, and also to learn that it was the only representative on the North America Continent of the Camel lia or tea familv. We would not men tion this, but for the fact that, in refer ring to the plant in this pamphlet. Dr. Wood refers to Mr. W utters as the dis coverer. But Dr, Curtis had previously noticed it. Dr. Wood describes that curious plant. Dioxsea Mutcipula, or Venus Fly Trap, found no where else except in North Carolina, and almost exclusively, near Wilmington. The botany cf North Carolina has not only encaged the attention and interes ted the labors of our native scientists, such as Dr. Curtis, Dr. McR.ee, Dr. Cyrus Hunter, Hardy B- Croom and others, and the botanists of other States like Prof. Gray, but long ago, from its extent and richness, engaging that work of foreign ers when exploration was accompanied with some danger, certainly with much labor and privation. As early as 1776, William Bartram visited the mountains of Cherokee, and bore away with bim the fruits of many valuable discoveries. The elder Michaux, under the patronage of the Frenc'i government,, visited the same region in 1787, and made subsequ ent exploration in what are now Burke and Yancey counties. . In 1799 Mr. Eraser, a Scotchman, having made ex plorations in 1787-9, made another in 1799 under the patronage of the Russian government, and in this expedition dis covered that SDlendid variety of laurel, tho Rhododendron Cataubiense, an in, habitant of the highest mountains Ainong other foreign botanists, was Mr. John Lyon, an Englishman, who came among the moun'ains in 1802, spent sev eral years in researches, and died in Asheville in 1814. We question whether any one in the place can now point out without close search, the plain marble shaft erected ovet his grave. Thatthose mountains were worth the pains of exploration is proved by the uniform testimony f all-those who have studied its floral wealth. The, stately trees, tbe ornamental shrubs, and the beautiful flowers, abound in grandeur, variety and beanty nowhere surpassed; and Dr. Cur tis sayr, "we may sut'ely say that no por tion ol the Eatern United States pres ents them in happier combination, in greater perfection, or in larger extent than do the mountains of Not tit Caro lina, especially in the counties of Yan cey, Buncombe, Burke and Hay woo .1.'' In referring to the recent gold discov eries, in pur sec ion the Louirville Covr iief journal pleasantly remarks : ' 3 "North Carolina is following the Tran' vaar in adding to the supply of gold. The Governor of South Carolina should lose no time in congratulating the. Gov ernor of North Carolina on this auspici ous, fact." - ... . . - s ' .('... , 1 . - - The extnordinarv PODnlarity oi Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the natural result of its use by intelligent people ior oyer ior ty years.
