While all the flags in the city were flying in the most" orthodox Fourth of July manner on Wednes day the national ensign over Saw yer's store was struggling in the breeze with the Union down. As this is a signal of distress, and the popular young salesman who raised is on high will become a Benedict in about two weeks, we would like to have an explanation of this puzzle. Took Poison by Mistake. Just as we were going to press last night, the news reached us that Mrs. Geo. T. Jones, who resides on Grove street, had taken a dose of poison through mistake for another medicine. Dr. Chas. E. Hilliard went to the assistance of the unfor tunate lady. Up to eleven o'clock no report of Mrs. Jones' condition could be obtained. It is believed that the poison taken was morphine, v'hich she thought was quinine. ' Fourth of July Dots. ; The day was but poorly observed in the city. Frank Loughran's wine and liquor store was profusely decorated with national flags. ' . The picnic, target shooting and dance at Sulphur Springs was im mense. The "brother in black" celebrated extensively. Cleveland hals formed a special feature in the exercises of the day. Only one arrest was made in the city during the day. About one-fifth of the stores in the city were closed. The knights of Labor had a picnic on Town Mcnntain. The Steen Family "took the cake." "Fogg's Ferry." On Monday night next the Lon don Theatre Co.. will begin a week's engagement at opera hall in this city, opening with the fascinating comedy-drama "Fogg's Ferry." This is the play in which Lizzie Evans has achieved a world-wide reputa tion, and Marion Fidler, the star of the London Co., is only second to Miss Evan3. The London Theatre Co., come3 highly recommended by the press, and "Fogg's Ferry", is one of the best plays now on the road. The city was well posted yesterday withthe attractive printinsof the com pany, and tickets will be placed on sale at Lang's jewelry store on South Main street to morrow morn ing. A solid gold watch will be drawn at the performance Monday night, which is now on exhibition at Lang's. We predict a big open ing night for the London Theatre Company. " TV. M. Cooper at Home. ' .r Some eight years ago Mr. W. M. Cooper, -lor merly , of .Transylvania county, then residing in Arkansas, had a difficulty with a man in the Indian Territory which resulted in death of the other party. Mr. Cooper was tried in the federal court' and sentenced to life imprisonment, His relatives, notably Mr. i Mo D. Cooper of Brevard, have exerted themselves to secure his pardon. jur. m. u. uooper now writes us from Brevard: ... "My brother, W. M. Cooper, reached our home on Saturday. You remember that he was confined in the house of correction at Detroit, Mich., for the past eight years. Jle was pardoned by President Cleve land. After a thorough investigation ?of an me iacts in the case as they were presented to him by our Tom Johnston and- bv other active friends, the President became thor-r oughly satisfied that ' executive clemency should be exercised. He comes back to us considerably re duced in health, but we hope thai sunshine and liberty will do much towards restotin? him." - Call At ihn Va n-nra' WawhnilM Korth Main street snd see -some cheap sewing Machines.

SOMETHING THAT NO MORTAL CAN EXPIiAIN OR CAN AC-. -' -:- COUNT FOB. J- Tests That Puzzle All Mankind A "Wonderful Mental Phenomena Mystifying the People Ey- cry Promise Fulfilled. If there was any person kept away from the Opera House Wednesday night under the impression that the performance would be a common l r.: ::i :' . r . . . 1. to the other perfortnaneejM tyatn " fc" J t they were never so much mistaken Nothing like it has ever been Seen here, and we do not. believe any thing like, it. .has ever been seen elsewhere,' except when' ' given by Mrs. Steen. : At the beginningof the perform ance Wednesday night a committee was selected composed of the fol lowing gentlemen whose standing and character furnish the most am ple guarantee of the genuineness of all that -vas done and that there was not and could not have been any collusion or :-communication with the lady through or by which she could,' be assisted in the least in correctly performing a3 she did every test offered." The committee consisted of Messrs J. P. Sawyer, H. S. Harkins, Fred A. Hull, J. G. Aston, Geo. F. Scott, T.C. Westall. The first, after the lady was blind folded was the blackboard test. Mr. Hull wrote eight long columns of figures on the board, and Mrs. Steen added them up, one after the other, without leaking a mistake, and then named any figure on the board that was pointed out as-rap idly as it was pointed to. lhis was certainly the most won derful, the most mysterious, the most perplexingand ihd most diffi cult test ever given to a. mind reader anywhere., and yet a ; number of tests periormed by iMra. - bteen last night, were if 'possible- even more difficult. The space at our coon mend will not allow a description of but one other test. Each mem ber of .the. committee wrote on a slip of papoi. unknown to any per son but himself, the date of his birth and then placed tb,e jjip jn an envelop. The envelopes were then" all mixed up. Mrs. Steen, still blindfolded, was asked ; to which gentleman one of the envelopes, held in the hand of a member of committee belonged. She answered without a moment s hesitation, and then read correctly the birth record it contained. This she also did with each of the envelops and with out making a single mistake. She also told the date of birth of a number of persons in the audience and correctly read a number of names on the blackboard. She told Mr. Scott and several other persons the names they were thinking of, spelling them out and in no in stance did she make a mistake. She described as rapidly as they were pointed out a hundred or more arti cles in the audience and excited the interest and wonder of -the audi ence. She did more than that, they were amazed and the Citizen risks nothing in saying that every person present last night will endorse the statement that never in the history of this city has there been a per formance that, can in any respect be compared with that given last night. To-night lb.9 performance; will be wholly different even more wonder- fal. Mrs. Steen will produce physs ical manifestations of the most ex traordinary character and material ize spirit forms in the broad glare of the gas light and she is the only person living who d jes this and that too without the aid of a cabi net or apparatus of any kind. . A pleasing supplement to the above i3 the remarkable juggling act of Harry Rouclere. There is nothing tiresome about this part of the performance and the deftness and agility with which this artist t,oni Kti lom ktv i,tLa 5 .oiiw mirnrirfrtbefdre. Sometimes they went to the wavtyAO uua saatv visuj mg. ilis act was nearwy appreci ated especially 4he manipulations with a lighted lamp, " which fairly caused the audience ? to hold their breath. " We bespeak another crowded house to-night which they deserve and it would be wise to have your seats marked and checked at Sawyer's store. .- . :')'. Tne second night's performance was even more wonderful than be fore, and the mysteries more com plicated than ever. . There i3 no doubt that the Steena' stand at the head of their profession.. We cheer fully ; reccommend them kto '' an amusement loving public wherever they choose to go. They are gland, immense, unsurpassed." :The com mittee last night were . Messrs. A. J. Lyman, M. M. Ledford, T. C. Westall, J.' M. Campbell, S, . H. Reed and Dr. G. W Whitson. We hope to see opera hall packed to night to witness the greatest per formance of the season.- : Get your tickets earlv: there will be. a rush.

A North Carolinian, a native of Madison county has come to the front with an invention at once use ful and popular. Mr. N. K. McLean now of Marshall has an application on file in the Patent office tor a pro cess ; by - which straight grained woods can , be converted into the most beautiful "flowery" wood as the experts call it. producing a per fect imitation of the natural curl so much admired and sought after by furniture workors and interior dec orators. Ther" process '.changes the texture of the' wood and alters the. disposition of the fibre to the thickness of about a quarter of tin inch, to that depth making a curl similar to that made by nature. The process is only practically ap plicable to'. Veneering. Mr.-McLean has also invented a - i, n. -iQ ."dTiy? s'uaniMK-ia his nracen of the artificial curl. The invention of the artificial curl has been tested to perfect satis faction and will, revolutionize the process in which curled wood is used. Will Meet in Asheville. - The State Funeral Directors Asso ciation, composed of nearly all the undertakers of the State, will meet in this city on next Tuesday, 10th inst. The Raleigh New Observer says: "There are many reisons why every undertaker in the Old North State should be present. Aside Iroru the consideration of matters ot the niot material and vital importance to every North Carolina undertaker aiming solely to sub-tantially elevate his calling and to place it permanent! on the highest plane of professional perfectness Professor Clarke, the emiuent instructor in embalming, will be present and de liver a course of lectures. Many other interesting and instructive features are down on the pro gramme. At this season of the year Asheville presents rare attractions. Being a delightfutly cool spot, the mountain city is deservedly the most popular of all Southern sum mer resorts. Every undertaker, whether he is a member of the asso ciation or not, should avail himself of the fortunate opportunity to visit Ashevi'.le and attend the yearly gathering. All railways are selling round tup tickets to Asheville, good for months, at greatly reduced rates." We hope the convention will be a large one. Our local undertaker will no doubt take proper steps for tirt-e pleasure and comfort - ot their visiting brethren, in which they will be cheerfully assisted by our citizens. Faithful Unto Death. A touching instance of canine af fection has just been called to our attention. Col. John A. Fagg, who died not long since, was the posses sor of two dogs, terriers, a male and female. Confined to the house al most continuously by the infirmities of his latter years, the dogs became his constant companions ; and re sponsive to the care lavished upon them, they reeiprocated'the attach ment of their owner in a remarka ble degree They rarely left his side, and their being was wrapped in hi."--In doors and out of doors, tbey were always with him; and when, occasion called him away, to visit any one of hi children, they were unhappy until his return. But during his absence, though miserable, they manifested very clearly the expectationof his return, impatient, but waiting in or about the house; until tbey were made happy again. It was not so when Col. Fagg died. Then lhey knew and felt that a great calamity had befallen them. Something had happened of which they had had no previous experN ence. They searched with moans v from room to room for the xne they no - 1 mger saw: they wandered through the . premises with such expression of sorrow as directed attention to their move ments: aDd when that which they sought was not to be found, they wandered oft, a thing the; never did wanqerea on,a mingtni i . . j: m- residence of Capt. M. " J. Fagg; sometimes to tho.e of other mem bers of the family; . but they pever returned, except for a brief stay to their old home. At last, the female, whoso evidence of grief .was more distinct, found her way. no one knows how, to the cemetery, a dis tance of more than a mile from. Col. Fngg's house, and to that nlace she returned every day for weeks, mak ing her resting place upon the grave of her master; in the meantime re fusing all food and repelling all caresses." r,A. ,day , or two ago she died, emaciated, consumed by grief, and as true an illustration of a broken heart as vas ever, given by humanity. - ; : , : : Prescriptions filled from: a well kept stock of drugs and chemicals, and deliver ed Iree to any part, of city.

The death of the above named lady occurred at her residence, near Rogersville, Tcnn., on Wednes day morning, at six o'clock Mrs. Taylor was a daugcter of Dr. M. L. Neilson, of this city, and was twenty-nine years of age. She leaves a husband and one child, about six years old. Mrs. T. had been planinga visit to her father and friends in this city, . and -her sudden death was quite a shock to them. Her"re mains arrived on ". the 1 p. m., ' east- bound train vesterdav, and were at once taken to the M. 15. Church, South, where the funeral ceremony was held at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Drs. Rankin and Bays officiating. After the fu neral, the remains escorted by a large concourse of relatives and friends, were taken to Riverside cemetery for interment. The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. A Marietta special to the Atlanta Constitution, dated July 1st, says: "Th3 busiest place in Georgia is, perhaps, along the line of the Mari etta and North Georgia railroad, which is a narrow gauge, but is be ing changed into a standard gauge as fast as men and money can do it. The bed is being leveled, thus reduc ing the grades, and straightened, which will materially shorten the road between here and CantDn. The work is being done in the very best manner known to the engineering profession. The bridges are of the very best modern construction and of the best iron, on marble founda tions. The new sixty pound steel rail3 are arriving daily by the train load and are being distributed along the line to be ready when the gatige is widened, which will be accom plished in one night when it is begun, which will not be until everything is ready. - From the present rate things are moving this will be soon proba bly early in August. A heavy force of hands is at work on the Knoxville extension, and the road will soon be completed from this place to Knox ville, and preparations are being made to extend it from here to At lanta." The Alligators Mast Go. That is what Mr. Edel told .1 a Citi zen reporter yesterday. ' I vas put deni in der French Proad river, if I s bermitted der authorities by, shust as quick as never vas somedimes pefore. What dinks you aboud it?" The reporter thought it was a good scheme, and so stated to the blonde-, bearded proprietor of the Alligator, who slapped his hands together and exelamed : "I over goes to see Mr. Sondley, und his advice I ask preddy qyick dese alligators aboud, und if he savs it alright vas, into the French Proad dose alligators go." "Well, that will put an end to bathing, eh i" queried the reporter. "Der pauruig to der duyvil. Dose alligators inWew Orleans will pe in so shord adjsie, it will pe qvick: und der poys can pathc der stream limpid in. next vinter somedime aboud." "Well, suppoio it is against the law to place those reptiles into the river; what then ?" "Dose rebtiles, go dey must; go, dose rebtiles will ; go, dose rebtiles shall. Dose alligators is a muisance pe, and I vill ship dem to Shim Flaine, if dec goes not der river into. Don'd you dink Shim vould pe glad dose pets to own ?" The reporter told him ' yes, and Edel went over to see his attorney, saving as he left, "Look ond, ven come pack; der fun commenced vill pe, Dose alligators ; tain dem ; dey must go pefore de sun shall vakc up in de morning. Good py. , . ' Kotlee to Advertise. Parties frequently have advertise ments inserted "till forbid," and allow them to remain longer than they sus pect, and then object to paying tor sucil insertions. " Oar space costs as raouey, and We must and will charge ior its use. au parties may expect to pav lull 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 ail round, to fix length of time and aree to rate of charges in the beginning. - 4 liar rub for Asheville. Mr. II.

C, July 4, '88. d&wdt Why Did Not We Think of U-' Be fore? v -'-'A ' ' Progress in things which affect tho comfort and happines of mor tals is sometimes brought most distinctly before us where the mutter is seemingly trivial; What suggests the foregoing is the improvement noticed in our city in the matter of closing places of business every day ex-t cept Saturday at 7:30 or about an hour earlier thnn hitherto. It really incommodes n shopper, merely necessitating makingfone's purchases a little earlier; while tho breathing spell of a few min utes of day light each afternoon to a large class of hard worked and closely confined citizens is undeniably a boon richly de served, and a privilege which will prove of decided benefit to health. ; v . .. . ".-. . ..4, The practice seems new, but it is one which thelarge citief hare had in operation for many years, only with still shorter hours. So that the custom of shopping later than six o'clock has there fallen into "innocuous desuetude." It is even within the tecollection of the editors when wholesale houses in the large cities kept their doors open until after ten at night in the dull season think of it! , - As wo said,' "Why didn't we think of it before ? For the very general observance of the early closing hours proves that glad concurrence was only latent, waiting for the suggestion and the movement. Now, it is done, and all are not only satisfied, but pleased, for reasonable'recreation has come at the hour when it is the most needed and the most en joyed. Chewing- Tobacco.
