It was the third birth day of the Daily Citizsn, and the occasion of the opening of the new water-works by which a large por tion of the pellucid waters of the beauti ful iSwannanoa were turned into the city. Jusl after noon yesterday.Mayor Aston and the Aldermen, Dr. Millard, City Water Inspector, Engineers Edwin Bol ton and Henry A Cook, ot the Earnest W. Bow ditch Engineers Corps, of Bos ton. .a staff reporter of the DailyCitizen, and a number of citizens repaired to the point on the Swannanoa river, four miles from the city, where the machin ery for forcing the water into the stand pipe on Baamont just east of the city is established. The tima had arrived for putting the machinery in motion, which would send the waters of the Swannanoa into our city to gladden the hearts, and add to the prosperity and comfort and safety of our people. A description of the machinery, ma sonry, &c, &c, will be given later; we can now only mention the result of POTTING THK MAOBINBRT IN MOTION, which was done by Mayor Aston, with some little misgivings, but thoroughly imbued with hope The word was given, the machinery started smoothly, gracefully, but steadily, and the NBW CURRENT OK LIFB for Asheville be.an. . It was soon found that all went well -thoroughly so, at this point. It was then a race to follow the water on its course toward the citv. At every point every thing was found to work perfectly, and, the party came on, hearying the peculiar noise of the rush ing waters forcing the air out of the pipes as it wrought its way to a higher civiliza tion. We can only say now that at every point, throughout, everything wonted splendidly, aud the worts art a GLOSIODS SUCCESS, ' ' -7' erownfhg elory of our present admin istration and of the enterprise of our growing, thriving, go-ahead city. The capacity is S0,000 gallons per hour; the Stand-pipe will hold 750,fiO, gallons, and this, with the other reservoir, holding 400,000 gallons will secure to Asheville a daily supply of ONE MILLION GALLONS. What !this means for Asheville we cannot now undertake to discus. That our people will appreciate the advan tages thus afforded, and will put them to good nse, we cannot have no doubt. As stated above Messrs. Bolton and Cook have been the engineers in charge of the entire water-works system. How well they have done their work is fully established bv the success of the works themselvas. The machinery at the river was put in by Mr. Plunket of the Gor den Maxwell Manufacturing Company of New York ; - and our townsman Mr. J. H. Boardman will have full charge of this department. The pipes three miles from the river to the tank was furnished by the Chattanooga fine jvianiitacturint; Uompanv. This company also furnished the mains and laiteral pipes which have been placed throughout the city. The masonry at the dam was done bv Messrs. Murdock and Colvin, and the excellence o' this work was the general remark of all. We propose, however, to go into these points more minutely hereafter. The work is a success, and in a day or two Swann anoa river will be running over and thrdugh the city. The Best for the Last. Turner received last evenings consign ment of Lynhaven Bay oysters, the finest, and possibly the last of the season. His mends and the public will lease make due note of this, and call promptly. Caught in His Own Trap. - We learn that a man named Williams met with a singular,' and suggestive, d.-ath at Hot Springs a few days ago. Notwithstanding the law against it, Wi'- liams has been in the habit of fishing with dynamite in the streams near Hot Springs, and in carrying the cartridges in his pocket much of it rubbed off and got mixed with his tobacco, and chew ing this resulted in his death. This should be a warning to all who try to destroy fish unlawfully. The Three "Cs" Railboap. The Morristown Gazette says : "Johnson City last Saturday voted a subscription of fifty thousand dollars towards the building of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad. Out of more than four hundred votes not one was cast against the proposition. 'This is creditable to the wisdom of its neonle in nnion mere issirengtn and prosperity,, President Frank Coxe receives almost daily information of a most encouraging character concerning the prospects of this road. - By lack of open air exercise, and the want of.sufficient care in the matter of diet, the whole physical mechanism often becomes impared during the winter.

J Asheville, Nl C, April 8, 1887. Asheville ! The Land of the Sky, the poet's dream, the health-seeker's para dise. He who said "See Naples and die," should now put it -"See Asheville and live." Live, not to think of find mg other heaven like this, but to dwell here and here alone forever. As I in dite these lines, looking out from my window in the Battery Park Hotel, I think of what a mighty stretch of glory lies before me. The noble currents and waves of the deep blue sea find their counterpart in the;' majestic waves of thes blue mountains, and they melt away toward the horrizon, losing their outlines where the sky seems to rim the earth, looking for all the world like an expanse of old ocesra. Pic ture it ? Who can I It weri- almost a sacrilege to try it, "and one can only look around and stand enthralled. There is no grander scenery than here, and he who cannot feel the in spiration of it must be either a dema gogue or a fooL There is beauty in it all, and its vastness gives it gran deur. I have stood on these hills and mountain tops, peering through the thin, transparent ether, never tiring, all the while having the sight to inten sify itself, until it seemed as though I were raised one step nearer . to God, ! and needed but to see the golden gates! swing back in the west to look m upon the infinite beauty of heaven itself. Sometimes too, during these few days I have been here, I have seen a haze cling over the landscape as though the great Invisible Hand had thrown across the cones a sweet and beautiful bridal veil. Then the sun would come up and .melt the mist away, when the scope of one's vision was without limit away, away, almost into infinity. Asheville To-Day. A CITY FULL OF ENTERPRISE AND GROW ING RAPIDLY. All in all, I consider Asheville one of the most remarkable young cities in the South. To-day no city of her size isdoingmore to, perpetuatethe glory of this generation in the New South than Asheville, and I have,scarcely passed a square without finding some kind of building or improvements going on. The streets are full of busy people, squads of workmen are everywhere lay ing water-pipes, paving the streets and sidewalks, whil? the hotels are crowded to their utmost capacity, many visitors being forced to seek private boarding houses even for a few days' stay. Peo ple are pouring in here daily from ev ery section of the Union, and there are, also, a great many Englishmen among them. The entire population seems to be thoroughly cosmopolitan, and a higher standard of society, would be hard to find. Nearly everybody, among the whites, of course, is. well educated and filled with the modern snao and energy. There cannot be many under 150 houses going up to - day in different parts of the city, - and all the time new contracts are given out. The character of the structures gives an idea of the quality of the peo ple, for very few of them are common place. Already there are some of the finest residences here to be found in the South, and the Battery Park hotel would be creditable to any city in the country. They seem to have the At lanta idea of enterprise, and while the industrial interests are not large at present, the foundation is laid for. fne a ' work in this direction as will be seen later in this correspondence. The people are now clamorous fot better railroad facilities, and appear to have gone to work to have them. This week a company was organized to construct a line from Atlanta to Baltimore via Asheville. and they expect to be at work on it within sixty or ninety days. At present the connections west are abominable, but efforts are making to have them improved. - THE RAILROADS now running into Asheville come from four directions, one branch . of the Western North Carolina railroad going to '.Jorristojjyn, .Tefinr another', to Salisbury, N. C'.' The . Asheville- and Spartanburg runs to the latter city in South Carolina, connecting with the Piedmont Air-lane, t These roads fur nish at present only fair accommoda tions, but are to be improved. They are all controlled by the Richmond & Danville system. Everybody here wants new railroads, and I believe they are going to get them. . Manufacturing. THE FOUNDATION LAID FOR A BIG IN DUSTRIAL BOOM. The location and resources of Ashe ville are peculiarly good for manufac turing, there being exhaustless quan tities of hard and other woods all around, besides many valuable miner als. The rivers both afford an abun dant supply of water power if devel oped properly. With her natural ad vantages this city ought to become one of the great industrial centres of the South. MANUFACTURING FURNITURE. I find here a remarkable industry in the shape of a furniture factory owned by Avery & Erwin. They. are making an unusually fine class of goods, and compete with western man ufacters daily.- They have just closed the contract for furnishing the new addition to the Battery Park hotel right over the heads of the Michigan people. I have never seen handsomer walnut, cherry or ash bedroom suits than they turn out, and their factory is o credit to the South. Their build ings are 55 by 175 feet and 100 by 40 feet in size, both two stories high, or 27,500 square feet of floor space. The capital invested is $20,000, and the yearly product is worth from $150, 000 to $175,000. The works cover three acres in all, and are convenient to the railroad. NEW COTTON FACTORY. The new cotton factory now build ing will be 55 by 270 feet, two sto ries, and will use 4,040 spindles and 250 plaid looms. It will cost $125,-! 000 and will be partly in operation within sixty days. The entire mill will be working by next fall. TOBACCO. An idea of the strides which have been taken in the matter of handling the tobacco products at Asheville of the richest counties of North CaroMna may be had from the following statis tics, which are from trustworthy sour ces: For the year 1883 there were only 400,000 pounds handled. In the following year the comparatively great success of the production of the previous season induced larger plant ing in Buncombe and five or six of the adjacent counties, notably Yancey and Madison, and the result was - an in crease of 1,100,000 pounds, making the total for 1884 1,500,000 -pounds. In 1885 the business done footed up transactions amounting to 3,400,000 pounds, and the crop prospects for the present year are variously estimated from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 pounds. This estimate is made even in the face of the gloomy and unfavorable weath er of the past month, which will nec essarily affect the annual yield. OTHER FEATURES. There are ten churches, colored and white, of all denominations, in the city; 1 34 stores, seven livery stables, four brick-yards, one furniture factory, two shoe factories, four lumber yards and two foundries. It is stated on good authority that the workshops of the Western North Carolina railroad will be removed at an early day from Salisbury to Ashville by the Southern Improvement company. This compa ny also proposes to build a new and commodious depot to replace the pres ent Asheville station. The company, whose president is Mr. A. H. Bronson, has just purchased 173 acres of land near the depot, and are laying it off in lots' for the founding and settlement ol the new Asheville. They also pro pose to build there one of the iinest hotels in th? South., One of the itreeti on the map of the new town has been named in honor of Maj. W. E. Breese, formerly of Charleston, S. C. ' ASHEVILLE TOBACCO WORKS. These works are owned and con ducted by Fred A. Hull and Charles Hull. They manufacture plug and smoking tobacco of all grades. The ssize of the factory is 100x40 feet, or 16,000 square feet. The firm repre sents a $20,000 capital, and employ from fifty to sixty people. The yearly product is $100,000, and is sold throughout the South and North. FIRST NATIONAL BANK. Asheville has some4 of the best banks in the Vestera'paflTol! tlfcl-sSSfe, and among the number is, the First Nation al, which has an invested capital of $100,000, and a surplus of $8,000; undivided proffits, $20,000; deposits, $105,000 to $115,000; number of de positors, 400 to 450; loans and dis counts, $166,000; circulation, $22,- 500; securities, $25,000; United States 4 per cent bonds, $22,80.

The location of Asheville in these mountains seems to have been selected by some one who knew just where hap piness could be found, and where na ture gives to human eyes, her richest treasures. The mean altitude here above the sea level is about 2,300 feet, though a thousand hills and mount ains rise on every side to a much greater height. Among the foot hills of the moun tains that comprise the great Appa lachian system lies a strip of country about fifty miles in width and. one hundred and fifty miles or thereabouts in length, that is shown by official data furnished by the signal service of the United States to possess a dryness of atmosphere the same as found at Den ver, Colorado, and middle Kansas. This locality at an altitude varying from two to six thousand feet above sea level, loeatea several nunarea miles south of Denver, naturally has many advantages of vital importance and interest to the invalid, as well as the tourist, that should not be care lessly overlooked. The attention of some of our most eminent specialists in throat and lung diseases has been attracted to this spot, and now many of their patients are being sent there for the benefit they are sure to derive. The metropolis of this section, the city of Asheville, is situated on a hilly plateau between the Alleghany moun tains On the. west, and the Blue .Ridge ., CONTINUED ON 4TH PAGE. , "I do not like thee, Dr. Fell, The reason why, I cannot tell." ; It has often ieen wondered at, the bad odor of this ol tquoted doctor was in.
