People seem to have strange con fidence in their luck, or strange' ig norance of their dai?rs They Be.imJ? regard a j-a$roft3 ...irack : i'TOytvf eneral -satisfaction to'aTT par be occupied to the exclusionof the rights ol trains which are bound to keep out of the way of the walker. Now, the tracks are built for the trains, for a special purpose.and to be used by them at all times; and at such speed as regulated by schedules or orders. No one may always be safe walking on the track ; and great perjl is incurred always in walking oh trestles. From those there , is little hope of escape from coming trains, and of their approach the pedestrian has no certain assurance until they are upon him. A man caught in such trap almost deserves hi3 fate. Mr. W. G. Candler, of Hominy, informs us of a thrilling escape to which he was witness on Tuesday afternoon. At Hominy station there is a heavy grade rising east, and trains coming this way, after stop ping at the station, have to run back several hundred yards and start again to acquire sufficient headway to carry them over the grade. On the afternoon aforesaid, "Uncle" Billy Culbertson, a well known citi zen of the vicinage, about 70 years old, was on his way home from the depot having waited his return un til the' train started. A few hundred yards from the depot, towards the west, is role Creek crossed bv a long trestle, fifteen or twenty feet high. in blissiul belief that the tram would go on its way towards Ashed vilie, Uncle billy made hia way rejoicing towards the trestle as a "nigh cut" and a convenient one, towards home. He was about one third of the way across when he was horrified to hear the train run nirg back with increasing speed to wards U10 trestle.- ne snew wiiai that meant, and that lie must get out of the way, and that speedily. He was too old a man to risk a jump from the trestle. He therefore must run. His shortest way off was to return the way he came, and he did so at the quickest gait he could master. In the meantime the pas sengers in tho rear coach had seen the danger threatening the old gen tleman and made frantic but vain efforts to notify the engineer. The men shouted, the ladies screamed, as the distance between the train and the old man closed; when to add to the horror, the old jnan stumbled and fell on the track. A perfect yell of agony rang out from the passengers. Uncle Billy re turned his coolness, and seeing how close the train to him scrambled to his knees,' and rolled off, where fortunately the fall was not enough to hurt him; apparently, fur the train alter backing some yards far ther 6tartea again on its airect course and went on. Again we say "keep off the tret ties." A Very Naughty Candidate. We have received a letter from a Marshall friend stating that Mr, Charles F. McKesson the republi can candidate for Auditor, while in Marshall a few days ago behaved in a manner and made remarks which were verv offensive to the good citizens of that good town Among other things he said, or re ported was that the meanest radi- cal negro of Burke waa better than the white democrats ol Madison county." Our correspondent adds "now wnetner the good white re publicans of the State will suppori a man who thus attempts to place the negro above the white people in point ot morality and citizenship r& mains to be seen." Mr. McKesson may make himself solid with- his Abyssinian" coboita by such con duct and language but he greatly mistakes the temper and integrity of good white citizens, members of either party, 11 he thinks such will not be resented by them. But of such . is the republican party leaders. They will be sat down upon heavily in November.. Visitors 'lake Sotlce.

A.Gwaltney, of Alexander, was at the farmers warehouse, yesterday, and in talking about new crop tobacco, said that he would have some tobacco of this year's growth, ready for sale in about ten days. He said the tobac co would be of first grade, and would be cured by the new process. Mr. uwaltney last year sold some new tobacco at the Farmers' rang ing from S35 to $56 per hundred. This tobacco was brought in and sold upon the market before the warehouse season had closed. Mr. Gwaltney is one of the foremost farmers in Buncombe,- and is hard to beat upon anything pertaining to the culture of first-class tobacco. The New Iron Bridge at the Mouth of Ivy. In the hurried construction of the W. N. C. R. R. from Asheville to Paint Rock, time was only allowed to do such work as would secure lit eral compliance with the terms of the nocivaoS: nn .trick raqnlvomonia -ot ilxc commissioners. The rivers, there fore, equally with the small streams, were crossed by trestle work, with the exception of the crossing at Deep Water, just above the Hot Springs, at which point, from the nature of the case, an iron bridge, with a single span, was imperatively necessary. At two other points the French Broad was crossed by trestles with numer ous benches, which were endangered in every freshet by the pressure of drift wood and timber. Im fact, each freshet caused damage and interrup tion to trains, so that about two years ago, the trestle work at Asheville was replaced by a 'truss bridge, and that at the mouth of Ivy was made a com posite of truss and trestle, greatly en hancing its strength and safety. But at this point, where the river, by the pressure of the Ivy current is de flected violently from its course, and makes a turn at right angles with its previous direction, the dangers of in jury still continued : and last year the company resolved to put up an iron bridge, to cross the river just below the other structure. The first work to be done was to establish convict quarters, which was done in a substantial and convieaient way. Everything being ready, work was began by sinking caissons to se cure solid foundations for the solid mftsonry of -the piers. These are three in number, of solid and finely dressed granite, and now support the elegant finished bridge of two spans of 175 feet each. The bridge crosses to the opposite bank m a long sweep ing curve, and with its approaches ap pears to be about 600 feet in length, most graceful to the eye and giving a reeling of Becunty as the tram passas over it without jar or tremor. Gradually the company is bringing the road up to the standard of a first class road. From Asheville to Paint Rock, the road bed is in excellent condition, with steel rails, smooth solid and well ballasted. The trestles at Turkey Creek and Sundy Mush have been replaced with wooderrtniBs bridges, and the trestle at the mouth of Laurel, so often swept away by the tumultuous waters of that stream when at high freshet, have given way to an iron bridge of a single span resting on substantial dressed granite abutments. We take great pleasure in record ing these substantial improvements, the progress of which we have noted since the first trains passed haltingly and timorously over the line.

Short Poem Inscribed . to the "Faithful" A la Bret Herte. It was August the second, And bright were the ekies; But it is not true that the 'rads ' were likewise. Yet they raised "cain" that day, At Waynesville, in the county of Hay wood, Which drew from the people No remarks of surprise. Tliey had a small crowd, And each ' rad played a part; It was the regular "old thing" that is played every. year, since the start; And each one was quite scheming and smart; And he talked of his chances Of sitting in Tom Johnston's scat Very boasting and proud. There was Moody, the Solicitor, (tie s from Haywood of old;; nd Axley from far Cherokee; the glitter of gold, Stood silently by, in the shade of a tree, And wondered to himself. Will the lightning strike me 7 If it does, then how happy I'll be." 'hey all played their cat ds, Remarkably well. And for a long time, and a considerable spoil. The thing looked musty indeed; But Cannon, and liarkins, and JSorvell, and Shook, Could each look through the candidates .ike a wide opened book: And tliey were sent to the shade with all speed. So, Ham. Ewart was taken, Freah from the fold, Who neither wanted fame, honor, record, or gold. And put on the track, for the races; bo bold ! He made a short speech, Which was loaded with praise Of radical means and radical ways, And said he'd be happy indeed, To politically die this fall. Then the disintegration Of this tough combination Took place amid terrific uproar, And the newly-mado martyr Felt considerably smarter Than ever he did in his life before. But ah ! in November, It 11 do to remember, Will a funeral be preached o tr this nartv As dead as a nail in the door. A Correction. The Citizen will never knowingly do any one an injustice. A repub lican friend informs us that the statement, in our report of the pro ceedings of the republican conven tion of a few days ago, that a resolu tion instructing forMr.Henry Hard- wicke for Senator fur this district waa voted down, did that gentleman and the convention injustice. . The resolution wa3 objected to and ta bled because of objections to in structions at all rather than objec tion to Mr. Hardwicke. Our inJ formani states a large majority of the republican party of Buncombe prefers Mr. Hardwicke, while the party in Maslison is solid for him, and he will, if he doe3 not decline, the nommea of that party. We have a verv kindly feeling lor our vouni? lriend, and we must say we will regret t) fee him saenhee himi self in this way. Ir. Li. J.
