This Company afforded a large audience some good fun Friday night. . The uual features of negro minstrelry, sieging and dancing, were presented, but unusually well presented. Messrs.

And the North Carolina Demo crats are not only right all the time, but will suoport Cleveland, endors ing him as far as he goes, and look to Congress, the power after all, to wipe out the offensive Internal Rev enue laws. An Outrageous Assatjlt. Friday night, about 11 o'clock, while John and Alonzo Ransom, two small boys who live in the Doubleday addition, were returning home from the minstrel show, they were accosted by a couple of half- drunken roughs in front of Capt, McLoud's residence, who asked them to show them (the roughs), the way to a certain disreputable house in the city. This, the Ran som boys refused to do, when the others began cursing and abusing them. The boys paid no attention to their utterances, but kept on their way home. They had not gone many steps however, before the ruf fians attacked them again, this time with a knife. The boys started out on a run to escape them, and finally succeeded in so doing, but not until John Ransom's clothing had been cut through, ami the skin slightly punctured by the point of a knife in the hands of one of the parties. The cuts in the clothing were from one and a hslf to three inches in width, and were applied with such force as to penetrate through a heavy overcoat, under coat, vest and shirt. It was a close call for the little fellow, and we hope that the dastardly villians who com mitted the deed will be apprehended and summarily dealt with. Two Grand Bargain Days, At Law's.

Another Disgraceful Sensation. Gaffneys, BJp., King MoWi tain and Cleveland Springs, N. C, and thereabouts, are getting up an unsavory reputation lor scandals The following is now reported from Gaffneys, taken from the Shelby Aurora of the 23rd : "Miss Florence Little, of this place, was to have been married to Dr. Atkinson, of Chester, on Janu ary olst. un that day and belore Dr. Atkinson arrived Miss Little left town in company with a Mr. Mintz, a former lover. In the meantime Atkinson returned home. The next morning Miss Little and Mintz returned and reported that they were not married, then Mintz re turned to Blacks. In a few days Miss Little followed ; it seems that Miss Little met Dr. Atkinson by appointment at Blacks on the oth and were married by the Rev. Mr Webb at night and took the morn ing train for Chester. Mintz now claims that he and Miss Little were married at this place on the 31st by the Rev. Mr. Carter, the mar riage to be kept secret until he (Mintz) became of age, he being a minor. Mintz now claims his. wife. The report is that she is living with Atkinson at Chester.

The editor of the Areola Record tells his disaffected subscribers how to stop their papers. He says the way lor an honest man to stop a newspaper is to say: "How much do I owe you for it?", When told the amount he should say: "Here is the money; please discontinue the paper to my address." A dishonest man writes: " to The eDitur sur stop yore drotted paper i Dont wAnt it eny longger" Or he puts it bac in the post ofltce and the post master,, marks it ''Refused."

It has been our pleasure to enjoy on several occasions most instructive and agreeable conversations with Mr. Isaac Leisv, one of the brainiest, most prac tical and successful business men ot Cleveland, Ohio, now sojourning at the Battery Park. His views are 60 pertinent and suggestiTeneea to our city that with his permission we lay them before our readers, and hope they will read, mark and inwardly digest them : Mr. Leisy esteems Asheville most high ly as a Eanatarium. Its dry, salubrious climate, its grand and picturesque scen ery which he pronounces equal and very similar to the Hartz Mountain in Swit zerland.Germany and France, andour fine and abundant supply of pure wholesome water render this section peculiar attrac tive. He had read of our recent efforts to promote industrial enterprises by co, prises dv co operative aociatioB- all of which hTTCetkinT highly Commends', C creditable to thMIDJhZ. - enterprise of our citiz.euf, and thinks by tins plan we might provide ourselves with beautiful and attractive streets and sidewalks as well as good drives, and in this connection observed, that our best drives are the result of private enterpriso and individual elhto. lie remarked that it was incomprehensible t tiie Northern visitor, bow our citizens rei ving so laru ly on the patronage of visitors could 'be content with such trecrs, roads and fide- waiKS auu sewerage, ana witli auv tie ree of patience pay their taxes With decent streets, clean sidewalks and crossings and good drives lined with trets. tie thinks Asheville would ij one of the most attractive places in tin? I nion, and that twenty leonle vuld come ::ere and stay where one does now. At the same time he realizs how recently Asheville has awakened from her lonsr slumber of ages, the extent of her corporate limits, and the comparative few unon whom this burden would fall, but thinks it would be a good investment, and that bv hearty co-operation these improvements could be readily made. Mr. Leisy is very enthusiastic as to the adautabilitv of our soil and climate to the cultivation of the those of the wine producing countries of curope, ana thinks 11 this country were prop rly brought to the attention of the many Germans seeking new homes in America that they would come here in lare numbers, and that our hillsides would be soon vine clad, and ours be come one of the finest wine producing countries in the world which means one of the wealthiest. He is further of the opinion that our chief industry the tobacco interest is much neglected, iu that we have no packing-houses, steni meries and but few manufactories, and suffer our tobacco to go away to be handled and manufactured in other places. A different policy lie thinks would redound largely to the interests of our people. Wh en asked his views as to the esta blishment of cotton and iron manufac tories here, he confessed that he was not sutliciently advised to express an opin ion, lie knew that in mauy peculiarly favored localities in the South, favored by having the material ami fuel or water pjwer in close proximity to each other, y cheapness of labor and competitive lines of railway under the stimulus of the protein high protective tariff were mak iuj: enormous profits, but whether these conditions obtained here he was notable to say. It wjs his conviction that the future prosi erity o! Asheville depended more in making the most of its natural advantages as a health resort and as the centre of a tine tobacco producing country, in the encouragement of thrifty, skilled agriculturists who woulu grow those tilings for which our soil and climate are best adapted, in imp oving our roads, having more pleasure resorts, and the creation of greater facilities for outdoor enjoyment, to the end that the health seeker, when restored to health, might enjoy life b -iter, that the visiter should not he so utterly dependent oil his hotel, but admits 1. 1 would have little cause of complaint if mj fortunate to be a eut-st of the Battery I'aik, w h-re thegentlemanly, quier, nos m r. .vmi n ick, amy seconded by Col. Steele, Mr. Asa S. l.ojniis, Mr. F. laquitb. and last bill not least, the exquisite Mr Campbell of the bar, who one and all vie with each other in mak ing life f leasant ai d agreeable. Mr. Leisy had much to say ol our unsurpass ed and unused water-power, of our splendid native wood, our inexhaustible mineral resources, of our superb moun tain beef and of many other matters ot interest which want of space only ex cludes. Should Mr. Leisy's hopes be realized, as to health, (and in this he feels much encouiaged), it may be that he will contribute to our prosperity by the establishment of a new industry in our city. So mote it be. Mr. Leisy was recommended to come to Asheville by Prof. Gustave.C. E. W ebcr, of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the most distinguished surgeons in America. New Books.

The most ; prosperous countries in the world are those devoted to the' production of grass es and their products Witb a little thought and attention grass can be grown here at a greater profit than in any part of tbe United States. By supplying lime to our soil it is ss well ; adapted to grass as any in the Union. " The first thing to do ia the proper pre- ' paration of the land, which should be thoroughly plowed and well pulverized. Do not lum too deep, but tubtoil well. ' Do not bury the manure under the ground but put it on top and harrow in with the seed. ' ' The next most iiriDortant thin tn . ider is the seed.- Buv voor saod from reliable parties who have been tn thW 1 k., a u ; . . ,. tenths Of the failures to secure vnnA stands of grass in this section are trace able to one of two or three causes; either a failure to prepare the soil properly, in not sowing enough seeds, or in having inferior seeds. We often have f irmers come in and ask for six Diunds of elover seed for an acre, or one bushel of orchard, blue or herds sirajs. This is simply wasting your tin.e and money. You need not expect to get grass unless you sow the seed. For permanent pasture we specially recommend orchard grass mixed with other grasses. It should never be sown slo e as it has a tendency to grow in tufts, though it is one of the bestof grass es on account of its quick growth and after math. It is ready for grazing in the Spring at least two weeks earlier than any other grass and when fed down is again ready Jfor grazing in about ten days. It will stand dry weather better than'any other uTT.es. It is suited to any kiud of land except low damp land. It weighs fourteen pounds to the bushel and should be sown one bushel to the acre with eight pounds clover seed, or one bushel of red top. Either will give good results for permanent pasture, though the orcha.d and clover are gen erally considered the better a they both ripen at the same time. For hay timothy stands at the head.
