Carpenter, of Knox vilie, was appointed Pension Agent at Knoxville to succeed Robert L. Ta lor, now Governor of Tennessee. Bill Nye has left for New York, and we fancy he is learning now that they have "climate" where he has gone as well as in AsheviUe. But his bed quilt etill waves here. AmB precocious dandelion adorns our table. Like Burns' primrose, "wee crimson tipped flower," it orv ened its innocent face to ih cold blasts of spring, and amidst its en vironment of snow, reproaches win ter for its untimely vigor. We regret to add to the list of calamities by fire in this State, the recent destructive one at Hickory, probably of iaondiary originr- juul the still mere disastrous one, in a pecuniary view, in Raleigh. This last was accidental, it is fair to pre sume. Arden Park is beginning to make ready for the Summer. Everything will be in first-class order in a few days. It will open earlier this Sum mer thai, usual, owing to the de mand for earlier accommodations, a number of engagemeuts having al ready been made. That was a regular blizzard that set in upon us Monday evening. It began to snow briskly at about 8 o'clock, and then the Northwest wind came in its fury, and the mer cury went down and all night long there was boreal wildneso. The suow was a light one, not over an inch deep; but deeper on the moun tains, which, in the bright, clear sunlight of tne next morning, shown out in splendid effulgence. 1 be mercury at s a. m. yesterday stood at 14 above zero.

Our friend Mr. J. Reese Patterson looked very comfortable in his Reg ister's office yesterday. The decis ion of Judge Graves was very, satis' factory to him. And we .may add, it was very satisfactory .to tf ' riRe majority of the voters of Buncombe. If the people of the county, regard less of politics, were more disap pointed and disgusted over one thing than another, beside the election of Pearson & O., it was that Reese Patterson and John Courtney were defeated ; and when the law permit ted both an opportunity to be rein stated the best people of the county were greatly pleased.

North-Asheville wants sewerage-facilities, and wants it badly. A liberal offer was recently offered our city authorities, which ought to have been taken, and we hope will be. The plan would serve the whole northern half of our city. The improvements in that section have been so numerous and of such a character as to merit this necessary improvement, and we hope our authorities will give it early and favorable attention. Mabkiib, At AsheviUe, N. C, on the 9th inst., by the Rev. J. Price, William Thomson to Honora Connally, daughter of Mr. T. Connaily, of Great Barrington, Mass. Mansion Avbndk. It is said this will be one of the finest and most attractive streets in our city after awhile. It leads, or is intended to lead, from the city to the Riverside Cemetery. What it may be is said to i,e in the future according to a denizen thereof, and not in the living present. According to his statement the "Avenue" is but little better than a cow-path, when cows were allowed paths in this country, and to try to get a load of wood over it is to almost exhaust the religious proclivi ties of the party hauling. And vet. said our complainant, "lee got te have putty number on my home, and de Lord only kin find it ef he should try, for no o'dsr pusson kin." We appeal to our Cty Fathers to give some attention to Madi son Avenue. : gs Something Rbckkrchc -' spread a supper for ten gentlemen, most ly visitors to the city, rarely equalled here in elegance. The table was decora ted with elegance, and at each plate was a superb boquet, composed of the choic est selections from the greenhouses here. At eacb plate was placed the card setting forth the menu, the artistic handiwork of Roger Davis, the whole a piece of ex quisite etching, the lettering glowing in golden finish. The ''Finis" is a beautiful vignette eloquent of the material of the feast, or rather gave' spirit to it the flasks of wine, the delicate glasses, the vases of flowers, the baskets of fruit, all grouped in most artistic skill and poetic grace. P artner tnan tnis we do not go, for we write in anticipation of the event. We can safely answer for its success. Drainage or Mud Cruk Swamp. We notice in the Henderson ville Timet a call from the chairman of tlie Board of Commissioners of Henderson county to the members of said Board to meet on Wednesday the 30th. inst. to-day to call an election to vote on the question of issuing bonds for the drainage of the lands lying on Mud Creek, according to the provisions of an Act ot the last Leg islature. The Citizen had the honor some three years ago to make a suggestion now em oodieo in tne enactment ot tne ieeiBia ture. The work was ito great for private enterpnxe, ana or sumcient importance to enlist the public aid and co-operation We estimate, from information, laat the area to be reclaimed is about 20,000 acres, deep rich alluvion coveted witn a dense growth, principally birch, but with large admixture of other trees and thick tangled undergrowtn or vines and shrub' berry. ntouen tnis tue- waters or tne creek wind in many a told, the loops be mg connected by innumerable slougne. The fall or water is great enouen toi admit ready and thorough drainage when the channel shall be straightened, lne whole of the drained surface, - when re claimed, will give to agriculture landB quite equal to the valley lands on the French Broad, suitable to all the grains; especially well adapted to the grasses. We nope tne people or Henderson county will not hesitate a moment in their decision, if they decide upon drainage they will silence forever the complaint made in a recent issue ot the Timet that tne county did not make en ough grain for its own consumption. Ia in in connection we may vaie mat in is basin of Mud Creek, thoueh a veritable impassable swamp, gives out no taint of malaria, and is a strange i to tne mosqui to. The town of Hendersonville, half enclosed in its embrace, is noted for its healthfulness. In truth tkis - strange anomaly is found on the very crest of the Blue Ridge, not forty feet below the sum1 mit level at Hendersonville, and has all the immunities of a climate of the eleva tion of 2550 feet.

Our excellent chief of police, Capt Waddell, wears his reeently bestow ed honors, the handsome gold- headed cane presented by the; po lice corps, with most becoming grace and modesty. It was a grace ful birthday remembrance on the part of the police tender ed to their Chief. Capt. Waddell, it seems, is a little backward in ad mitting the ripe age to which he has attained; but his force accidently found out the day upon which his sixtieth birthday would dawn, and, Erepared the caning surprise for im. Out of respect for his sensi bilities about his age they did not say to him it was a "sixtieth birth day gift," but it was, all the same, and tbey are well pleased at the grateful pleasure with which the "old!gentleman," as they sometimes call him, wears his testimonial, and all wish him many happy returns of the happy day.

EXCOBelOJI TO CFARUfl.IQHL.---, - A number of our bouth Carolina friends, residents of Asheville, would like to visit Charleston on the 26th, the occasion of the unveiling of the monument to the patron-saint of all South Carolinians, John ft Calhoun. Would it not be well for our Rich mond authorities to run an excur sion to that city for that occasion ? We suggest this upon the request of a number ot our menas. How They Feed. Yesterday morning a Battery Park messenger placed on our table a package of fragrant suggestive ness. Opening one we found what was modestly called a "roll" of light bread, more properly to be called a loaf, browned to a delicate turn, risen to the utmost capac ity of the oven lid, and light as the sea foam. And we learned that this was the allotment to tha plate of each guest nt his morning meal ; what a penalty imposed upon the unhappy victim ! Now, if we be cenmred as a puffer, May we be there, the next to suffer. Is This So? Some one, evidently a special ad mirer oi Mr. Pearson, writes the Advance that "money!' will control Buncombe ; and as an evidence states that Mr. Pearson has more influence than any dozen men in the county, all on account of his money." To ascribe ' no other attraction to Mr, P. but his "filthy lucre is no credit to him. while - to say he can control Buncomba with his money is an insult to our pen pie, such a one as we believe tney will not Hesitate to resent, uooaie- ism does not hold sway in this grand old county yet: and men who can only rely upon it, as seems to be tne case with - Mr. Pearson, will soon reach their level. Their element in Buncombe politics, have already reached this. Bucklen'a Arnica Salve The best Salve in the world for eats, bruises, sores, ulcers, rheum, fever . Bores.

LFim in Raleigh. . . The first information we have of a destructive fire in Raleigh comes through the'-fVciM and Courier. It occurred on the 27th, and resJrted in the destruction of one of the most important "infant in duBtaies" of the city. We are glad to see that the proprietors of the establishment destroyed are not disheartened, but wilt it'.work at ones -to re-establish their The following telegram gives the particulars : Raleigh, March 27. Early this morn ing the extensive cotton seed oil and fer tilizer mills here, which were the finest South, save those at Columbia, 8.C., weie burned. The fire is reported to have broken out in the engine room, and fience spread likea flash to both oil mills, the oil storage warehouses and the seed storage sheds. The buildings were both of brick and covered half a b'ock. The water supply was meagre. The fire was very fierce, though there was almost no wind, and in two hours the mills were fn ruins. Only ene warehouse was saved, with a large quantity of fertilizers. The Richmond and Danville depot and ware houses were in great danger, and other warehouses near by were on fire, but were saved. The new oil mill was built la-t year. Its capacity was twenty-four hundred gallons daily, while the capacity of the fertilizer mill was seventy-five tons daily. Last autumn the mills were acquired bv the Cotton Seed Oil Trust, which opera ted them day and night, to their full capacity. The loss is (50,000 and the in surance is $37,000 Three hundred Dol lars of this is in a New York agency. The remainder is placed in a Kaleigh agency in the following companies: Virginia Fire and Marine $2,850, North British and Mercantile $4,750, Washington and Mercantile $750. Southern and Soring field $1,500 each, North Carolina Home $1,150, Rochester German, German Am erican and Western Insurance Compan ies $1,900 each,"Pelican $950. Hiberma $2,590.- The mills will be at once rebuilt and enlarged, and will be ready for next season. Four colored nremen.were in jured by faTing walls. The Newt-Observer gives the following additional particulars: The blaze was fearful, and the heat of the fare was sufficiently great to draw rosin from fences one hundred yards dis tant. The railroad tracks running with in a few feet of the mills expanded from the heat three feet and were bent out of line. f wi'1. Vi naf&a?Tv tr taIijtt rhai with new iron. Mr W. G. Upchurch, one of the local directors of the mills in a conversation with a reporter yesterday said, that in all probability the mills would be rebuilt at once. He could not speak for the com pany, but thought that this was a good point for millB and the company would probably not leave it open for other syn dicates or other companies. About fifty hands are out of employment on account of the fire. We take the following items of interest from the Lincoln Press: "We are informed by a gentleman from Rutherford county that Mr. T. H. Cobb, the attorney for the Carolina Central Railroad h,as entered suit against the commissioners of Rutherfor ) county to recover bonds due his road amounting to $90,000. The principal is $27,300 which with mtei est from January 1, 1860, amounts to $90,000. There is no doubt of the ability of the Carolina Central re covering the amount sued for as it is due under a very plain contract. This promises to be, by reason ot tne brilliant array of legal ability engaged in it, and the large amount involved, one of the most interesting suits that nas Deen tried in this section. Mr. T. H. Cobb, formerly of th.s rlace but now of Asheville is the leading counsel for the Carolina Central. He is one of the finest lawyers of the State and the Asheville bar is to be congratulated upon having him among its members. There are seven bridges on tne Caro lina Central Railroad between Sbelby and Kutherfordton, and every one of them is built of iron and npon the latest plans. - -the oDioctive point oi tne Carolina Central Railroad is Asheville." The New York World prints a series of interviews with railroad presidents on the abolishment othe free pass system under the interstate commerce law The president of a leading line says it Brill increase the receipts of his road $1,000,000 annually. This gives an idea of the cost of the system has been. - A clerk in Louisville invested $50 in pork at a bucket shop the other day, and succeeded in running it up to $5,00 j. Then: he determined to make it $10,000 and quit and get married. v His $5,000 crept up almost to the aesirea amount, and then the market took a turn against him and in a few hours he didn't have even the original $50. He will not marry this spring.

Japanese In Washington, Washington, March 17. Gen. Count Kuroda, of Japan, and his party ot nine are at the ILbbitt House. The Count is a man of commanding intellect and lorce or character, 51 years of age and of impressive ap pearance. Born in the middle rank of life, he has risen by his talents and probity to become counsellor in general to the Mkiado and his Cabi net and Lieutenant General of the Imperial army. He has an intense thirst for progress and is here to study our political, social and industrial conditions. He has been most im pressed thus far with our magnifi cent railroad system. He speaks scarcely a word of English, but has in his suite a very brilliant interpre ter, Mr. Arakawa,, of the class of '87, University of Michigan, one of the eleven Japanese young men pur suing C course there under President AngeliV 'The latter, while our min ister to" China," travelled extensively through Japan and has acquired a strong hold on the affections of its Government and people. -In choosing his party for this tour he selected one each from the mili tary, engineering, educational, cl onization, agricultural and diplo matic departments of Japan. When j ever a subject comes up in his sight seeing, reterab e to any one of these j beads, he orders -its representative to investigate it particularly und makes notes upon it. In this wav he systematizes the results of his observation for the benefit of his 36,000,000 countrymen. In religion the Count is a Buddhist by birth, but is liberal in his , theories and closely oDservant of the different faiths he encounters in his journey- HigS. He married, somewhat late in life, a lady of rank and intelligence, oy wnom ne nas two children. She snares in tne progessive views now so popular at the Japanese Court and wears, on polite occasions, the European dress. With this dress daning has become quite the vogue among Japanese ladies, and dancing masters from Ihe polished capitals ot Europe are in high favor. While on his tour the Count . has given himself no time for. amusements, not even for attendance npon the theatre, though ho is interested in . i tne elevation of dramatic art in his own country. He. and his suite at tend closely to. business while in their hotel apartments, which which embrace several of the largest pri vate parlors besides numerous bed- head, eat in the public dininar-room. Their dress conforms exactly to that of any well-bred travelling party of gentlemen. Nearly all wear black or browu Derby hats. The party do not expect to find time to visit Mount Vernon, but are "doing" the Capi tol, Smithsonian and the Goveern ment bureaus very thoroughly. On Friday they return to New York, thence overland to San Francisco, thence home by the steamer Belgic. The Chinese alphabet contains 30,000 characters, New York city has 30,000 lands ords, who collect $40,0U0,000 rent. The next Legislature should amend the act to prohibit newspa pers from advertising lotteries by inserting a clause making it amis demeanor also for ihem to publish marrioge notices. For is it not said that maariage is a lottery. Stales vUle Landmark. The Washington papers say that in response to a request from the Commissioner of Penston one hun dred clerks in his bureau have vol unteered to work extra hours upon the Mexican pension claims filed under the act ol January 9,1887 This voluntary extra work was be- ffun yesterday and will b8 prosecu ted, it is promised, with the utmost sneed until tne close oi tne nscai year, in tnis way tne commis v il 1 sioner of Pensions hopes to be able to issue a great many of the certifi cates to be given under the law. Their Business Booming, Probably no one thing has caused such a eeneral revival of trade atH. H. Lvons' Druii Store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King s New Discovery for Consump tion.

The T P A marching on. 1 Mr. Fairchild, acting Secretary of the Treasury, says he has the power to relieye any stringency, of the money market and will exercise it when necessary. Receipts from in ternational revenue and other sour ces are being placed in the national bank depositories, and these are expected soon to veach $15,000,000, bui Mr. Fairchild . says that if it shall become absolutely necessary he can make them three times that amount The New Orleans papers continue to give encouraging reports of the crop outlook in that section. The Time-lructai of the21st sard that ao far the present month has been tne best, agntfurturally, ever known. The crops, it is estimated, are now better than for ten years past, are from six to eight weeks ahead ot any previous season, with an increased acreage, and a promise ot much lar ger yield. This is especially true of cane, cotton and corn, and nothing but the very worst of weather, a con tinuously bad season, can provent this being the best agricultural year that Louisiana has ever known: and what is true of Louisiana is largely true of Mississippi, Arkansas and other neighboring States. Money is easy, supplies cheap, and conse quently the planters will raise the growing crops more cheaply and profitably than they have ever done before, not even excepting 1882. Again, the levees are in good condi tion, better than ever before, and planting and cultivating can begin at a much earlier season than here tofore. IjTerPUIa.
