Swice good, to stale to the public that the street sprinkler is his own individ ual property, and is not under the direction and management ot the city council, as many people Bup pose. The1 city, Mr. S., states does not pay one penny towards running the sprinkler. It is run entirely by subscription from merchants doing business on the different streets in the city. Several merchants on Patton avenue have refused to con tribute towards sprinkling that street, and cons? quently Mr. Swice good states that he feels in no wpy obliged to lay flying real estate on that thoroughfare, until f-uch contri butions as will meet expenses' are made by the aforesaid business men. - Gents' Furnishing Goods - at "half price. r n one : square. aiw Misses', children's and . infants' fine kid spring heel shoes just received at . -: - " M.

The map printing and tinting on the last naee is equal in eyery respect to . that done in our largest cities. . , . . - . . "Wiio Are Most Benefitted." . liere.is a frank statement, taken from an appeal sent out by the ''National League" clubs to manu facturers and monopolists: "We want money and . want it.at once.' It may not be of 3 our per sonal krjowledre, bnt it is a fact that the msnuiacturea. of the Unite 1 States are., most benefitted by our tariff laws."" And again: - "The manufacturers of Pennsylvania are more highly protected than anybody else and make large fortunes, every year when times are prosperous." As the Washington Post well re marks on this point, "we have the mask thrown aside, and the painted harlot of protection exposed in all her ghastly depravity. Men and brethren, shall wo not make a strong and manly effort to overthro v this corrupt cabal. Or shall we, like cowards, submit tamely to tlnir demands and yield to the systems of organized highway robbery, which they have practiced for many years?" There is no pretense that the la boring man is most benfitted by the hign republican protective tariff; but a recognition that the bloated manufacturers 01 the North are alone the beneficiaries, and to these go the appeals for money to usa in debauching the bailot-box and aid in keeping up the present system, of oppression." Citizens TTake Notice. Below will be found the circular issued by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen relative to sections 618 and 619 of the Code of the city of Asheville. The proper sanitation of Asheville is a matter of the ert at- est imoortance, and we trust that our people will make all possible haste to comply with the law as set forth in that circular. The Mayor and Aldermen of the city respectfully call the attention of all good citizens to the following law relating to the rorer sanitary con diliott - (4 th-4"-i ty , and req u es t every one to not only keep their own premises clean and in first rate order but to keep an eye on the con dition of their neighbor's premises and report to the chief of police or sanitary inspector any violation of this order. We cannot, even in this healthful place be free from disease and sick ness unless the city is kept clean. If the citizens do not comply strictly with the requirements ot this regu lation the sanitary inspector has special instructions to enforce the law to the letter. Until our sewer age svstem is complete, and espe cially during the coming summer, we must double our exertions in respect to this matter. You must not delay it another day 11 your premises are not absolutely clean. The inspector is now on the rounds and will be during the entire sum mer nd will spare no one in the discharge ot his duties : Sec. 618. J he owners and occu pants of all lots in the city of Ashe ville, upon which priyies are sit uated, shall be responsible tor the cleanliness of the same, and no privy shall be permitted to stand bo near to any street as to beottensiveto the passer-by, or permitted to remain in such a manner as a hog or pig can enter therein. Any person or per sons violating this ordinance shall be fined five dollars for each day it so remains; u.id all privies shall be thoroughly cleansed monthly, a id oftener, if the inspector, shall so re quire. Sec. 619. It shall be the dutv of all persons having, owning . or con trolling privies, not connected with the sewerage, within the sanitary limit", to have and use water tight receptacles, in : which to receive all excreto; and it shall be the duty of such persons' aforesaid .to cause the contents of such - receptacles to be deodorized or mixed with dry earth or flee coal ashes daily; Should any person or persons fail to comply with the requirements of this sec tion they . shall, upon the couvic tion thereof, be fined ten dollars.

Parties frequently have advertise ments inserted "till forbid," and allow them to remain longer than they sus pect, and then object to paying for each insertions. ' Our space costs as money, and we must and will charge tor its use. All parties may expect' to pay full tran sient rates for all "till forbid" advertise ments" We hope there will be no fur ther misunderstandings upon this point. It is much more satisfactory all round, to fix length of time and agree to rate of charges in the beginning. - New Millinery,, dtf " at Whitlock's. THE FEDEBAIi BUILDING.

It was a great work and he has devoted to it two years of hard and earnest work, for which the State owes him a special debt of gratitude. The surveyed lands are rapidly being taken up.

A" large numoer " of persons have already engaged rooma for the season, an'd we have little doubt that the number will be greatly in creased from now on. Mad Dogs on Hominy. Mad dogs have been doing great damage on South Hominy. Mr. Pink Thompson had a fine milch cow and a good horse bitten and had to kill both this week. No per son, so far-reported, has been bitten. Nearjy every dog in the section has been killed. The people of that set tlement have been greatly alarmed for some time. After Mr. Thomp son killed hi3 horse and cow the people on Curtis' creek and Mor gan's branch turned out and by gen eral agreement shot every dog on either creek, of high or low degree, determined to stop the disturbance which has prevailed more or lef.s since last October. Another Runaway. Yesterday evening a horse be longing to Mr. J. H. Herring, and driven by Mr. R. L. Graham, of this city, became frightened in front of Sevief's stables on South. Main street, and ran into the "Kaeket store, throwinsr Mr. Graham, out of the vehicle, and against one of the show windows of the store. The horse ran a short way down the center of the store when he was stopped. Mr. Graham had his left wrist. se verely cut by the broken glass, and the buggy was slightly dam aged' City Council.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama bearded the hypocritical radical party in its den on Thursday in the Senate on the Fisheries treat-. Mr. Morgan asked leave to alter the pre amble and series of resolutions on the subject of the pending fisheries treaty, and Mr. Vance moved to refer them to the committee on loreign ' relations. The pre amble recites that the report of the committee on foreign relations on the treaty raises a question whether the Prei8dent had authority to ne gotiate such a treaty or to appoint plenipotentiaries without previous consent of the Senate, and the reso lutions to declare that the treaty has been duly negotiated and is lawful and valid. Mr. Morgan insisted that he had a right to speak on the motion to refer, and in spite of the objection of Mr. Sherman and the ruling of the chair Jbat he (Morgan) was out 01 order. Morgan proceed d, an nouncing that he intended to make this morning the speech which he made in executive session; if the Senate would give leave to have it printed he would do so without de livering it in the Senate. The presiding officer, while ruling Morgan out of order, said that he had no means of enforcing I1I3 ruling, that was for the Senate, not the chair. Mr. Morgan, with apparent indif ference to the ruling, proceeded with the reading of printed slips of his speech in secret session. One of the sentences of his speech was "The Senate may make war neces sary, as I am very much afraid we are doing here to day. Li an allu sion to the Republican Senators, Morgan said that the only prepara tion which they we e making was an attempt to enlist the sym pathies of the disaffected subjects of Her Majesty. Their action, he said, was doubtless with a view of excit ing antagonism of Irish voters to the President because of his alleged subserviency to British influences. That charge rankled with injustice. Congress (he said) had given to the President the power which all pres idents had possed since 1850 ;o wage a paper war on British commerce, and had then stood by to see whether the Preside t would push that paper war into the category of real war. If he had done so the country would have cried out for his impeachment, but having failed to do so, he was charged in the re port of the majority of the commit tee on foreign relations with usurpa tion and with abuse of constitutional power, because he had sought to find a peaceable ,way to get the rights claimed by the United States, and the threat had been made by the cQmmittfie of future dealing with the President held in reserve for the time being. Mr. Morgan finished reading at 1:50 and the resolutions went over without action. The House resumed the consider ation of the tariff bill. Pending consideration politics got the upper- hand, and several telegrams and bulletins were read as pari ot the speeches. Mr. Cox read the an nouncement ot lhurman s nomina tion, and a scene of wild confusion followed. Nearly every able bodied Democrat was on his feet shouting and cheering, and bandannas which had not been so prominent this morning mysteriously appeared in every hand. One enthusiast tied one to the stick of an umbrella and waved it vigorously. An enterpriss. ing reporter dexterously dropped one of the flaming symbols on each wing of the handsome golden eagle perched above the speakers head, while the reading clerk, Neil Brown and Outhwait, of Ohio, 'displayed upon the desk a' large" picture of Thurman surmounted by an aggres- elverooster. Mr. Bigcs, of California, added to the excitement by calling out in a voice broken with emotion, "I have worked thirty years in California to 8ee Thurman nominated. Thank God he is now on the second place." b inally, by Mr. Mill's enorts, the House was brought back to consid eration of the pending amendments Dingltys amendment of yesterday was firs', amended and then rejected entirely. Several other amendments were ottered and reiected. lhe con- c uded consideration of theproviso attache! to the lumber feotions, and after the clerk had lead the next article on the free list, "jjalt in bags, sacks, barrels or other packages, or la bulk, when imported from any country Which does not charge'an import duty upon salt exported f 'om the United States,'' the committee rose. , Advertisers, Notice.

Interest ing Society Events at the Hub Boston", May 31, lS8a There has stood over n the past few weeks that inexorable Nemesis of the New England housekeeper, with broom and brush, and paint and whitewash, the annual Spring cleaning, which turns ey ery household into chaos, that order may come, and makes the Spring a time of dirt and confusion that the Stimmer may bo clean and peaceful. Well all that is oyer now, and we have found ourselves the past week plunged into the May anniversaries. The pro gramme for the week has given an ira mense number of meetings, of several religious denominations, and of all kinds of moral and educational societies. Selecting from the many those most characteristic of this period, we went last Sunday morning to the Church of the Unity, Bev. Mr. Savage's, to hear Mir. Laura Ormistow Chant of Loudon. Mr. Sayage represents the advanced wing of the Unitarians, and bis pulpit is the only one which Mrs. Chant has been invited to occupy at a regular Sunday service. " Mr. Savage conducted the prelim ernary service. prayer and singing as usual; then Mrs. Chant came forward and gave the address. She is a medium sized lady, with clear colorless complexion, dark hair thrown back from a broad br jw. and great luminous eyes. She was dressed in a neatly fitting gray gown of soft wool, and her voice which is of wonderful sweetness, could be heard dis tinctly in all parts of this large church. Her subject was the "Progress of Beli gioas Thought in England,1' apd she held the audience perfectly for more than forty minutes; but we thought she re presented only a small number of Eng lish thinkers, as Unitarianism represcuts only a small number in this country. Tuesday afternoon came the meeting of the Unitarian Woman's Auxiliary. The Church of the Disciples, Rev. Mr. Clark's, was pacVed with ladies, and a few gentleman. Mrs. Andrews, a white haired woman, of grave and stately manners, presided. Papers were read by two bright little ladies from Brooklyn and New York, who said it was a new thing for them to appear in public. These papers were followed by and address from Mra. Willies of Dakota, a missionary who travels from point to point in that State, selecting tho best localities for mission ary work, and starling services in school houses and halls, as far as possible. Mrs. Wi:hes has a remarkably sweet voice, and winning manner, and she appealed strongly to the luxurious daughters of the Kast, "To come over to Macedonia and help them," closing this appeal with a solemn invocation for aid and guidance. Miss Legett of Wisconsin then spoke, saying she was the first ordained woman minister beyond the Mississippi. She asked for money for her little church, and a lady suggested that while their hearts were warm, a collection should be taken; this resulted in three hundred dollars, being immediately contributed. Then came the address which gave the greatest delight to all, that of Pundila Kamabai, it was her farewell address be fore this society, as she soon will leave the United States, carrying to India thirteen thousand dollars, raised to establish a school for women in that country. In this work the Episcopalians, Ladies of Trinity, were the pioneers, but the Unitarian ladies and those ' of other denominations have giv generous help. The Ptmdila is lovely !;u person, with dark creamy complexion and soft eyes, and moves gracefully in her flowing robes of pure white. Wed'sday afternoon came the Woman's Suffrage Convention; and we heard a grand old lady, mother of tho author of that wonderful book Ben Hur, plead for women. Mrs. Chant spoke again; also the Baroness Gripenberg from Finland, and Miss Alii Frigg also from Finland; the latter a young teachsr and newspaper correspondent, who is said to be the Mark Twain of her own country. She is a rollicking jolly girl, whose witticisms in imperiectEnglish convulsed the house with laughter. She read a paper on ' Manual Training in Schools, which tossiDg aside when finished, she said "now I shall sf eak English, awful, but I must tell you some more," and closed saying, "I go home, I learn more English, I shall come again, and you will see;" a most fascinating little woman, and thor oughly in earnest. The meeting of the Moral Education Society on Thursday morning was one of great s gnificance, beginning at the very root of reform. To a crowded house of gentlemen and ladies, Mrs. Maria Upbam Drake presen ted the claims of the family; spoke of the misery caused by our lax divorce lawe, and the evils of our luxurious civiliza tion. Mrs. Chant followed with her farewell speech before leaving America. She commended our Kindergartens, especially that for the blind; our efforts for co education and for advanced edu cation for women; pleaded for the aboli tion of child-labor in factories, and the training of girls for ballet dancing; begged we would admit more sunlight into our dwellings, for health and morals, a ad banish nude statuary from drawing rooms and public halls, and most earnest ly asked for modesty in dress. In point she said, '! was invited a short time since by a set of fashionable ladies, to address them on working women, in a London drawing-roon. On entering I found them in full evening dress. I said ladies I oannot speak to you, till you cover yourselves. Two ot them left the room in anger; the others sent for their wraps and I gave them a leason they will never forget." . Mrs. Chant was followed . by Dr. Zaknewka, the well known hiad ofthe Women's Hospital. She read a cleas logical paper on the work of the society. Mr. Brooks an eloquent Unitarian minister and writer on Economics, made the point that there was an end to individual and society work, and law must come in; for examples in the regula tion of child-labor; and Father Osborne, a High Church Episcopalian, standing for the most conservative branch of Protestantism, pleaded for the&Boston shop-girl. It was one of the marvels of modern progress to see this noble man on a platform with these advanced reformers. Dear Citizen pardon this long letter. The half is not told; would we could put on paper the enthusiasm of these great gatherings. - Bcth Ripley. - Parasols and Umbrellas, new stock, -. dtf at Whitlock's.
