And thus we grow all over. A Beautiful Innovation. Ore custom has come in vogue which is very pleasing. It is for ladies to drive up to a store, sit in heir vehiclev and have tho clerk to carry out arms iud ot gooc's, ot anv and all description for examination. The special beauty of this custom 3 the elegant ease which the lady assums, and the exercise which it, gives the clerks. Clerks certainly should be required to take exercise: to stand on their feet all da' and move about the siore waiting on customers is calculated to give them torpid livers and other ailments pe culiar to such quiet habit, and the introduction ol this new custom must have been the thoughtful con sideration of the fair sex lo timn- late the energy of their male friends And how nice it is to lug boxes of fancy goods, bolts of fine goods, boxes ot shoes, cutiernt parcels or grades of sugar or coffee 'to the front" for examination and compar ison, ana tnen nave tne iair cus tomer not find anything, she wants, and go off to report the same exhil- rating perlormencfi at another store. We have had our sensibilities of ad miration deeply amused in witness ing clerks lugging an armful of f ood and boxes, find standing bare headed in the rain or the sun, wait ing the inspection rf very bonnie ladie. And knowing, too, the store to be full of customers. Oh, havn't we envied them? It is truly a beau tiful innovation, and one well cal culated to develop all the finer qualities of a good clerk. Elisha A. Robinson, connected with the Chicago boodlers, has made restitution to thecou.ity off 1 5,- 000 dishonestly earned bv him on short weights and measures.

I stopped over at this point from Satur day noon to await the epening of tho Court at Webster on Monday morning, some what ahead of the Judge, who will not arrive until to-morrow morning, but ready lo take hold of the sovereign people and their "sovereigns,' if they are provided with them, before they become packed away In the Court House under the eye of the Judiciary which permits no straying from the fold ot justice. In the mean time I have passed the time pleasantly, if not profitably. There has been no addition to, or en largement of this little town since I was here in April last. Bpt it holds its own and its business has somewhat enlarged. Mr. Carpenter, one of iib merchants, has a good trade, with thtbability of soon expanding it. rfrar.'y do a really large business. In addition to the ordin ary functions of the merchant, Mr. Enloe tells me he ships largely of stock, not only cattle, but horses and mules. Ot these he tl ks he will ship about 209, all raised in Jackson county raised like cattle on the range, and then brought in and broken to harr jss. This is decidedly a healthy place. The population is about 100. In four years, which is about the age of the place, not a death has ever occurred. This is without a parallel, I believe. Mr. W. A. Dills tellsuie of a remarkable instance of healtlifulness in connection with exceptional abstinence from tobacco, that univer8al'stimulus or solace of Amer icans. His father, Phillip Dills, is 80 years old; his mother is 81; they raised a family of nine children, all of whom are married and have families. In all of these there are seventy-five grand children not one, including the husbands of the daughters of Mr. Dills, there is not one who uses, or ever bos used, tobacco in any shape or form. Mr. Dilla, senior, is hale and hearty, active and strong as any ot his sons. In his family, until the grown children married and dispersed, there was never any medicine of any description used, and no medical and suigical aid ever sought except in case of accidents to some of the boys. There will be no corn bought in this county from abroad for another twelve monibs. The crop is abundant in valley and on mountain side. A field of the lat ter I was in this afternoon and it looked like a Roanoke bottom. And this is the universal report I attended service this morning in a new building intended for a Union Church and school house. The building is not quite finished, from want of means, I re gret o say. The burden has fallen upon a few; and the generously inclined have an opportunity, to do a praiseworthy act by timely contribution. The congregation was a full one. and exceedingly devotional. The preacher wos the Rev. Mr. Kennedy of the Presby terian church. He is blind, and has been since his birth. He is mainly self educa ted, beginning the use, uninstructed, of the methods of reading provided for the blluet before ;bo JlByfajii 21 lUV.j,li iu established. To see him in the pulpit, before he opened his lips, was the suggestion of the physically blind leading those in spiritual darkness. To hear him speak was to learn that the Spirit had "lightened" his darkness and that to him spiritual light made all things clear. His manner was earnest, his style natural, his language fluent and familiar, and his subject was treated with direct and simple earnestness that was touching und impressive, made more so by the bereavement of the impor tant sense of sight. He carries his own Bible wilh him, passing his finger rapidly over the raised letters, and reading with such ease and emphasis us did not betray his innrmity. Mr. Kennedy is from Mecklenburg, but has spent much time in the mountains, and is well known from Mitchell to Cherokee. I wish the pleasant house at which I. mi slopping was moic widely known. Mr. and y.rn. Bryson are not only most kind and attentive hosts, but their table is most excellent, a perfect family table, with every thing abundant, well cooked, and well served. Thcv have had a few con- slant guests during the summer, and the house is quite full at present During the winter and spring either a new house will dc imiu or nclcliUons made to the present one; and then they will be justified in holding out inducements which rather limited accommodation had not fully authorized. The nvlnernl sDrine near the house is destined 1 think to become famous. A Baltimore chemist is now encaged in an analysis. This chemist was here some time since, and thinks the water has ex traordinary virtues. More will be made known of it before lonff. I ascended a lofty peak on the nthct side or uie luckasegee this afternoon 111 com pany with Mr. W. A. Dills and Mr. Boggs or the lumber firm of Merrick and Boggs. and was rewarded with one of the most magnificent and comprehensive views that ever delighted my eyes; but as I have made such things the subject of former letters.

The cit izens of Chattanooga, are highly pleased at the decision of President Cleveland to stop here on his way to Atlanta, and elaborate prepara tion is being made for a great dem onstration in honor of the occasion. The New York Democratic Conven tion. ' (By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen.) Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 27. The day opened cool and foggy, but with the proiiiise of sun and warmth later. The summer visitors have all fled and the democracy literally have possession of the town. There is scarcely a lidy to be seen on the street. The hotels on the east side of Main street are all closed, and the street therefore divided is compara tively deserted. The village on one side from the joyous roll of active community, on the other hotel ac commodations haye been somewhat limited, and there is every evidence in the faces of hundreds of persons that they had been strangers to beds for one night at least. There is not the wanting look of pale exhaus'ion and anxiety born ot weary hours of midnight discussion on contested seats, and earnest efforts to settle family quarrels without appeal to the convention. At 10:30 the delegations from Troy, Albany, and other near-at-hand places, came marching through the town with escorts, and headed by splendid bands. Press accomodations mad j by .

Foet Wadsworth, Sept 27. 11:17 Racers are dimly seen near tho starting line, standing off and on, with light south winds, mist clearing away and it blows from four to six miles ; the Shamrock and 2 tanta keeping close together just abovo the narrows, and the big Puri tan, Atlantic and Galatea . waiting natientlv - with all sails set for the start, which will likely be delayed some little time yet. 12:lo.

She is now starting to-ward Tompkinsville, while the Volunteer with her mainsail club, top' sail jib and stP-a'.iMJirig towards the Owls Head." -" r are near the line. It is evident a start will soon be made. The breeze is about eight miles, comes in puffs from the South. The raiNt is clear ing away slowly. 12:23. lhe llmtlc has crossed, and a start made at last. Both yachts close hauled on the port tack, each carrying their main and club topsails, small jib topsails and jibs, and stav sails. The ThustW: lead is small, but she seems to move most rapidly in light air. Wind light and variable, verging to wes terly. I he Thistle crossed the Iiuh 12:32, the Volunteer one minute inter. 12:39. The Thistle tacked to starboard, heading for the Long Is land shore, the Volunteer still hold ing tier tack, holding for Clifton. f he Thistle lost her wind entirely, while the Yankee has light air. At 12:40 the Thistle is almost motion less, and the Volunteer has tho lead by a short distance. 12:57. J he Volunteer is ap proaching the Fort, and a great cheer has gone up from the throats of thousands of spectators. The fleet took up the refrain, and they gave her a rousing send off. She moves beautifully. The Thistle now has a good full wind, but not mov ing as lively as her rival, ine Voluneeer passed at 1 p. m, running about 6 miles per hour.

IFor the Asheville Citizin FREE SCHOOLS OF BUNCOMBE. For two weeks the schools have been small, many of them suspended for fodder pulling and tobacco cutting. A trip to Big Ivy found them all suspended, but the one on North Fork being taught by Prof. Lorenzo Ingham. Mr. Ingham is an ciderly man, but a most active and energetic teacher.

In this State reports from Vance county show much damage, while the damage was flight in (ir. enville, and in the sec lions around Raleigh, Reidsville, Durham and Statesvilie. Fully three-fourth? of the crop was cut and housed in this State", and that which is hurt is the low land to bacco. This statement applies also to West of the mountains generally.

Senator Riddleberger will be master of the next Senate, and he is now in Washington boasting of how he will get even with some of hie Republican associates for the un merciful snubbing that they have been giving him for the past two or three years, lie has especial griev ances against Senators Edmunds. Hoar and Sherman. The Senate next winter will stand thirty-nine Republicans, including Mr. Riddle berger, and thirty-seven Democrats, it win sou's "be seen"il"at it Air. Kid- dlcberger voes with the Democrats he can tie any question coming be fore the Senate. This privilege Mr. Riddlebereer sa3-s he will use with so much frequency as to leave his Republican associates in a state r-f nervous expectancy regarding his actions. "All Men are Liars," said David of old. lie was probably prompted to make the above remark after trying some unreliable catarrh remedy.
