A Strange Varmint Is that on exhibition in the show window of Johnson & Thomason on north court square. The name of the quadruped is iguana, and it ia a native of South America. The iguana is a large herbiverous lizard, having a dew-lap, a crested beak and a long tail. The flesh is eaten by the natives of South America and is considered quite nutritious This specimen was shipped to a party in Spartanburg irom Libeitad, and has been in the former place about thirty days, during which time it has eaten nothing. Iguanas gen erally live about sixty days in our climate. After being here a short while they begin to gradually dry up until death ensues. The difficulty at the Depot Commented upon by the Citizen in yesterday's issue, is claimed, by officer Harkins to have been to tally unjust to him and based, on unfounded statements of fact. The ordinance under which (he officer acted is a follows : Sec. 520. That no person shall at any depot in this city boisterous ly call out or solicit pattonage of the kind mentioned in the forego ing section or get upon the platform of the cars, or enter the cars upon the arrival of trains for the purpose of soliciting patronage mentioned in the foregoing section, or crowd upon the train or upon the delivery platform during the exit of passen gers or delivery of baggage, or crowd, the ticket office of any railroad company having a dej ot in this city so as to annoy, inconvenience or otherwise interfere with the traveling public or business of the railroad. The fine for violation of the above is ten dollars. Mr. Harkins states on this occa sion complained of, the porter was pressing forward to the car and standing on the platform while pas sengers were getting off, which is directly in violation of the ordi nance above quoted. The ordi nance is very clear, and the officer says every effort is made to strictly enforce it; but that after passengers have left the car porters are allowed to assist passengers upon the train without objection. The ordinance was necessitated by the persistence with which the porters plied their vocation. In this occurrence com mented on, officer Harkins says he was simply doing his duty in accor dance with the city laws, and just what he will do under like circum stances. He therefore says the in formation upon which our com ments was based was untrue and the comments unjust. We give hiui the benefit of the statement. Fresh Jersey Butter at dlt Smith & Baird's.

Late yesterday aiternoon Chief Waddell was approached by a long, lank, dilapidated looking specimen of humanity, who inspect ed him very closely before ven turing to make the chief's acquaint tance. The dialogue that ensued was as follows : Mountaineer "Be you the boss man of this town?" Chief Waddell "Yes ; what canJI do for you ?" M. "What is the 'audiences'?" C." What is what?" EI. 'The 'audiences' ; don:f you know what they be ?" C. "Well, you mustn't carry a pistol, mustn't shoot in the street, tie fire-crackers to a dog's tail, race horses, nor engage in any deyiltry that will tend to disturb the tran quility of the city." M. "And them's ences' ?" C "Yes ; them's the 'audi-'audi- the ences. The mountaineer then dronned his chin, and turned to leave the chief, haLf-sorrowlul like, as if what he really 'wished to say had not been said. He edged off on the curb stone and was buried in thought for about a minute, then -idling "up to the chief he said : "Mister, you have told me all I want to know except one thing, and that is the most imporlantest thing c: all." Chief -"Well what is it man ?" v M. "I want to know if'vou will one be mad with me i! I tako dram." Chief "No; you look like you drinks of can stand about three white corn whiskey ; and if I catch you tooling around drunk, and raising a row, I will lock you up and keep you in 'durance vile' un til the next term of the Federal Court." The mountaineer said that he would take just two more drinks while he remained in Asheville, and told the Chief that "the 'audi ences' needn't to be Jafraid of me; for before I would bo locked up in that 'durance vile' you were talking about, I would take all my corn in the silk instead of the spirit." The Chief told him to move on, and he moved to the nearest saloon across the street. French Broad ISaptist Church. Mr. Wolfe has just completed a very neat job of plastering, with soap-stone finish, in this very pretty building. It does him great credit. Sabbath-school and church services will be conducted there to-morrow (Sunday) morning at the usual hours and regularly hereafter. The Hoard of Aldermen. Were in session last night. Capt. Atkinson for himself and as sociates, asked an amendment to the charter granted Mr. Farrinhold for a street railway granting the privilege of extending their system down South Side Avenue. Postponed for further consideration at a special meeting Monday night. After considering much routine and such incidental work, the Board adjourned. A Liberal Act. Learning- that some fear had been expressed tliat the proposed appropriation would not be suffi cient to build a suitable federal court house and postoffice and pay for a proper location as well, and fearing this apprehension might militate against the bill pending in some way, our towns man Mr. William Johnston tele graphed Thursday to Senator Hansom that he would cheerfully donate the splendid lot corner of Patton Avenue and Haywood street for said purpose. This is a very graceful, we may say patri otic act on tho part of our vener able townsman. While directly a gift to the UnitedStates, it is in directly a greater gift toAsheville for it leaves at least fifteen, if not twenty thousand dollars which would otherwise have been re quired to buy a lot to be applied to the building, thus making a handsomer struct ure. AVe hope to learn to-day or Monday that the bill is a law; and then but little time need elapse before work can be com menced. By this act Mr. John ston has entitled himself to the lasting gratitude of our citizens, for it is really the most munifi cent gilt ever bestowed on this community.

Report of thSelect Committee. Tbe following is the report of the select committee on the part of the Graded SchooJnnected with a pe tition for farther very necessary aid on the part of the city council. It relates to a very important matter the development of the school to its full capacity, and will be read with interest. The report presents mat ters at once surprising and gratify ing: To the Honorable, the City Council of Asheville: Gentlemen : We the school com -mittee ot the city ot Asheville peti tion your honorable body for an in crease in 'J. pA Aropriation from the city taes.cMEtaFfint to. 25c, and in support of this petition respectfully submit the following report, which is the approximate amount of in come and expenses of the school for the past year: INCOME. From State and county, $2,000.00 " City, 5,700.00 " Peabody fund, 400.00 On hand at commencement 1,300.00 Total, EXPENSES. Purchase of academy. Salaries of teachers and janitors.

This deficiency has been met by a loan, on the personal responsibility ot the committee, ir. order that the short school term decided on could be completed. We are aware that it has been brought to your consideration that we have not been able to accommo date all the children who have ap plied during this term; and in order that every child should have the benefit of tb. shco;;. 11 they bo de sire, our school iv .a capacity must be increased, It will be impossible to effect this with the means now at our disposal. Having cousulted some of the best architects and con tractors in the city, we believe that with the amount asked for, we can erect a suitible building on the lot on Orange St., now in our possesion or make other improvement, and ac commodate all applicants for a term of say nine montns teaching through the 8th grade of our system. The number of children who have applied for admi-sion this term is 650, the number who have been re ceived is 450. The above applies to the white school. Of colored child ren, 290 have applied for admission, and have received 250. Our Super intendent, Prof. P. P. Claxton, esti mates from his past experience, that about 900 white and 325 color ed children will apply for admission to the schools in the next term. To provide for thai number of children, it will require 24 teachers and two assistants, with sufficient school room for both white and col ored. It is no doubt, apparent to you, that to carry out the mean ing of the law, we must receive all applicants entitled to the education al benefits for which the appropria tion was mdde; but a certain sum of money will go onlj so far, and not to receive all children who have the right, is not carrying out the spirit and intention of-tbe law. We feel quite sure, that if the council fully understand how much has been ac complished with the means at our disposal, and how much progress has been made by the pupils who have had this opportunity for only a few months; there would be no hesitation on their part to grant this petition. In conclusion, we respt ct fully request that you name an early day fo'vLiting the schools, which will enable you to exercise your own good judgment as to their being worthy of future maintaining. Very Respectfully. W. W. West, ) H. A.Gudger. J- Com. W. F. Randolph, j Asheville, May 11, 1888. The Board of Aldermen accepted the invitation to visit the schools, and appointed Tuesday next at 10 A. M. as the time.

The largest congregation that has yet assembled at the Tabernacle on North Main Street was gathered to gether last night to listen to Mr. Pearson's able, logical and conclu sive discourse from tho text, "And when I see the blood I will pass overyou." Exodus xii-xiii. Before the text was taken, Mr." Pearson announced that there would be no aervices at the Taber nacle to-day neither morning nor evening; the day was nee.ded for rest; absolute rest, mentally, bodily and spiritually. He also announced that the pastors in the t;ity would hold regular services at their re spective churches Sunday morning, with the exception of Rey. Dr. Ran kin, of the M. E. Church, South, who would hold Sunday school and services in the Taberna cle, owing to the fact that his church was undergoing repairs and could not be used. Sunday night the various pastors and congrega tions will again assemble at the Tabernacle, and the regular series of meetings will be continued until further notice. Mr. Pearson also re quested all converts during this week s meeting to unite themselves with some Christian church to-morrow morning. It made no differ ence to him, he said, what church they joined, whether Methodist, Bnptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian or a.-iy other denomination; he wanted them to join a church of Christ. Then, alter reading a few verses cf scripture and offering a short prayer, the Evangelist selected his text as above stated, and preach ed a powerful sermon from the three propositions continued there in, viz: 1. The blood of tho Paschal Lamb. 2. The shed blood of the Pas chal Lamb. 3. The applied blood of the Pas chal Lamb. Mr. Pearson showed how the sins of mankind must bo washed away by the blood of the Lamb, and that through no other source could eter nal salvation and emancipation from sin be obtained. The sermon last night was the most able yet delivered by the evan gelist, and the good work accom plished by him in our midst is but a fore-runnev of the iV-nei.! a.vuk ening that is soon to follow from his earnest teachings and exhorta tions. The Franklin House. See the Advertisement of this house in this issue. Franklin in Macon county is one of the prettiest of our interior towns, and none is more beautifully situated. It is in the midst of a rolling plain into which high spurs of the sur rounding ranges jut with highly picturesque effect ; while at the dis tance of ten or twelve miles are the majestic range of the Nantaliala and Cowee, and the more distant Smokies, presenting a land soapc of combined beauty and grandeur. The whole forms a delightful summer resort. The Franklin House is prepared to entertain guests in good style at all times,, and is especially prepared for them in the tourist reason. Good rooms and a good table await the guests ; and in connection with the house is a livery stable, which is am ply provided with draft and saddle horses and vehicles of all kinds. Abraham S. Hewitt has told what he did for his section of country du ring the war. Wc quote from the Herald: Mayor Hewitt laughed outright yesterday when he heard that his op position to the Grand Army of the Republic .bill had censuretl by one of the posts of this organization. The Mayor said to a Herald re porter that in the annals of the Army Department would be found a record of thanks tendered "Cooper & Hew itt," of the Trenton Iron Works, for their services to the Government du ring the War of the Rebellion. "We gave our plant free to the Government and instead of making any money we lost $100,000. I went commissioned to Europe," says May or Hewitt, "to secure gun barrel iron for the Government and could Duy only 300 tons when 4,000 tons was needed. I entered an iron foundiy in disguise as an artisan, learned how iron for gun barrels was made, tele graphed the information to our Sec retary of War and in twelve days the United States Government was mak ing gun barrels. And yet I am de nounced by some of the Grand Arm' men. Comment is useless !" Fresh, Fasliionnble and Fine. Williamson & Co. having sold a gooil many of their carpets, have determined to replace the stock, not old, but on band since winter, and will next week hang up entirely new patterns. They ordered a duplicate bill of all they have had on hand in quality and quantity and ot the newest and latent patterns, unlike anything they have had.
